1
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:33,960
I'm not even sure how you 
describe that. 

2
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,080
I I it's just last night was 
absolutely it was it was 

3
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,480
bonkers. 
It was historically insane. 

4
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,880
That is the definition. 
The really, and I tweeted this 

5
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,720
the other day during game. 
I guess that would have been 

6
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,160
game 4. 
I'm like, take their souls, take

7
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:52,360
their like, don't take your foot
off there. 

8
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,400
Last night was the absolute 
sporting definition of reaching 

9
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:02,640
into your opponent's chest and 
ripping out their heart and then

10
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,760
stomping on their soul. 
You know, it's just, it's 

11
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,520
really, really challenging to 
describe what we saw last night,

12
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,840
and you just don't see that in 
professional sports. 

13
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,040
Like that's the kind of thing 
that, so when I was younger, I 

14
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,880
used to always get the USA 
TODAY, right? 

15
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,400
So I would take, I'd have to 
take two trains to high school. 

16
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:24,440
I've said that a few times, 
right? 

17
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,640
So I, I would have a fairly long
ride and I would always have the

18
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,600
New York Post and I would always
grab the USA TODAY to get the 

19
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,480
national stuff right. 
And you would see at various 

20
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,640
points, like some school in 
California, I think Reggie 

21
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,000
Miller's sister did this, but 
she was older than me. 

22
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,480
So, and you would see, you know,
some school, they score 137 

23
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,920
points and they went 137 to 9. 
And then you would have the 

24
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,280
discussion, you know, was it too
much or, you know, why was this 

25
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,960
player still playing like it? 
It was it was like, it was 

26
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,800
almost like such a lopsided AAU 
game or lower level game. 

27
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,440
It did not look like an NBA 
playoff game. 

28
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,920
I mean, what the Knicks pulled 
off was, I mean, historic. 

29
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,919
Just that that that that 
describes everything, Jay. 

30
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,800
I was, I was looking at some of 
these numbers and I know that 

31
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,400
everybody's been inundated with 
these by now, but maybe a couple

32
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,440
of ones that you haven't seen. 
There have been 27,964 games, 

33
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:26,960
right, Since 19, since 9697 in 
the regular season and the 

34
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,000
playoffs. 
And it's the first time ever in 

35
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,200
all of those games where the 
road team got to 100 points 

36
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:42,560
before the home team got to 50. 
There have been 4550 playoff 

37
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,080
games and what the Knicks have 
done, nobody else has done. 

38
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,920
I mean, it was, it was, it was, 
it was almost boring. 

39
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:54,560
It was almost so good that it 
was boring. 

40
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,240
Yeah, I mean, I can imagine it's
probably not a a great game like

41
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,720
did they? 
So I, I didn't get a chance to 

42
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,200
see it. 
Were they running like Kolek and

43
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,400
those guys to start the 
second-half? 

44
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,720
No, no, the Knick starters 
played matter of fact. 

45
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,200
I what like, you know, 5 or 6 
minutes in third quarter I'm 

46
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,720
like, why are these guys still 
playing? 

47
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,240
Let's not mess around here. 
No, but Cole like and and and 

48
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,360
all those guys got in Mitch, 
Mitch Robinson. 

49
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,120
This might be one of the most 
amazing NBA stats as well. 

50
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,400
Mitch played 9 minutes a little 
little scrap last night and I I 

51
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,120
do have to say the Knicks have 
to do a better job of getting 

52
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,560
it, like intervening and making 
like Mitch Robinson seemed 

53
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,880
pretty in control. 
But if that thing escalates an 

54
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,280
inch further, I wouldn't 
surprise if he Mitchell Robinson

55
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,560
throws a punch. 
And at that point, do you? 

56
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,880
Do you follow him on Instagram? 
I see a lot of his stuff. 

57
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,080
I saw what he put out this 
morning. 

58
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Yeah, but I mean, God. 
But, you know, it's yeah, yeah, 

59
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,040
reps on the on the floor. 
I mean, some of the coaches were

60
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,880
trying, but I mean, the Knick 
players need to get in there and

61
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,720
and I think deescalate that a 
little bit better. 

62
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,720
Knicks led by as many as 61 and 
they win by 51 points. 

63
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,920
Just imagine if we were getting 
on the air today and the Knicks 

64
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,800
lost by 51. 
Like just rap maybe, maybe 

65
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,560
that's probably the best way to 
put it. 

66
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,720
As good as you feel now, I 
almost feel like for what I do 

67
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,880
for a living, and I've always 
felt this way. 

68
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,400
It's almost always harder to, to
truly express what I saw when 

69
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,000
it's really, really good versus 
when it's really, really bad. 

70
00:04:28,280 --> 00:04:29,600
Like when it's really, really 
bad. 

71
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,560
That's easy. 
And in a lot of ways it's fun. 

72
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,920
You know, you just get up and 
everybody's, everybody's 

73
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,200
incensed and absolutely bonkers 
and out of their mind. 

74
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,480
And the callers are crazy. 
And the open to shows is just, 

75
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,400
you know, it's a, it's a 7 or 8 
minute hit piece. 

76
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,120
The monologue is just, you know,
you did. 

77
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,040
There's dead bodies everywhere. 
Yeah, I mean it. 

78
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,280
This is just platitude after 
platitude. 

79
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:55,000
It really, really was. 
It was the most stunning thing 

80
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,880
that I've ever seen in my life. 
Now, it doesn't mean the Knicks 

81
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,080
are going to win the 
championship. 

82
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,000
It doesn't mean whether it's the
Celtics or the Sixers. 

83
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,800
And my boy Jay Rod's got some 
issues of his own because 

84
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,000
suddenly the Celtics can't beat 
the Sixers. 

85
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,320
And now you've got an issue with
Jayson Tatum. 

86
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,560
And I really hope that he's like
Nick, Celtics to Nick. 

87
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,320
Potential Nick Celtic stuff 
aside, I hope Tatum's OK. 

88
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,560
I really do what it looks like 
he's going to be OK. 

89
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:23,000
It's the other calf. 
But you know, as, as players 

90
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,320
have weighed in on this and I've
seen a lot of this stuff here, 

91
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,080
when you have an injury of the 
magnitude that he had with his 

92
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,000
Achilles and come back as 
quickly as you do, you know, the

93
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,920
body works in a very funny way. 
You know, you, you, you 

94
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,640
compensate without compensating,
without even knowing that you're

95
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,280
compensating. 
So I, it looks like he's going 

96
00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:40,280
to be OK. 
Nobody's telling. 

97
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,560
I, I saw Sham say something this
morning that he's telling his 

98
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,320
teammates that he's fine. 
Maybe it's just a cram. 

99
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,720
Maybe it's OK. 
Hopefully it's not a precursor 

100
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,080
to anything else. 
But now the Knicks get back to 

101
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,120
they they, Knicks get to chill. 
Knicks get to sit back, Knicks 

102
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,960
get to watch. 
And the Sixers and the Celtics 

103
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,280
get to beat the shit out of each
other for another night. 

104
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,320
And I don't know who's going to 
win this game and I'll worry 

105
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,160
about that tomorrow. 
Like I saw my buddy Jerry 

106
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,680
Ferrara, right. 
Many of you know him more as 

107
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,280
Turtle from entourage. 
Yes, Sir, we did about 1520 

108
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:12,360
minutes ago. 
All right, let's get down to 

109
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,160
business. 
You know, let's let's stop and 

110
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,840
and and and he's one of these 
guys who's probably and I love 

111
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,720
him. 
He's usually more optimistic, 

112
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,280
not Ben Stiller level of 
optimistic, which is at times 

113
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:28,680
delusional, but he's he's one of
these guys where he's definitely

114
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,720
more positive than than a lot of
big fans and definitely more 

115
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,520
positive than than me. 
But I I totally disagree. 

116
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,200
Jerry tweeted out earlier. 
He's like, hey, that's it, 

117
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,320
game's over. 
Let's no, no, you you can still 

118
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,720
enjoy this too today. 
Today. 

119
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,800
We don't have to just 
automatically, you know, make a 

120
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,920
right turn and get into serious 
mode. 

121
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,560
All right, let's get ready for 
the Celtics of the no, no, that 

122
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,520
destruction, that all time epic,
colossal ass kicking beat down 

123
00:06:57,840 --> 00:06:59,920
that the Knicks administer last 
night. 

124
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,520
Oh, I'm going to revel a little 
bit. 

125
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,400
I'm going to enjoy this year. 
And as I started, I'm going to I

126
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,960
want to get to Mike Brown. 
I want to get to cat. 

127
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,000
I want to get to OG. 
Like I'm not going to sit here 

128
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,640
for an hour and just wax poetic 
about the win, although many of 

129
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,840
you can do that on the calls on 
the chats. 

130
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,080
But I do want to point out a few
things, right. 

131
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,920
So as we kind of play all the 
numbers, I'm I'm sure this has 

132
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,240
happened at some point, but I 
didn't see it. 

133
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,400
Nobody really had any info on 
this. 

134
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,840
I'm sure that there's just so 
many numbers and stats to dig 

135
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,880
through. 
Somebody will get to this today.

136
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,560
Mitch Robinson played 9 minutes,
right? 

137
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,000
He had a plus minus of plus 29 
in 9 minutes. 

138
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,000
Just let that resonate for a 
moment. 

139
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,680
Let that marinate. 
The guy was on the court for 

140
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,160
less than 10 minutes and his 
team outscored the Hawks by 

141
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,280
basically 30 points in 9 
minutes. 

142
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:53,000
I mean, 3/5 of the start, 60% of
the Knicks starters had a plus 

143
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:58,080
minus of over 40 just all time 
incredible stuff. 

144
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,040
Now here's the best part about 
this, right? 

145
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,000
So you look at what's transpired
after the game three loss and it

146
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,840
was a lot of it was all right. 
And I tweeted this too. 

147
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,160
Hey, MM Brown, let's see what 
you got. 

148
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,480
Now, I wasn't as critical of the
Mike Brown hiring as some all 

149
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,840
right, but I also understand 
he's not Pat Riley. 

150
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,840
I mean, you know, I I thought he
got screwed by the Kings. 

151
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,360
I thought he did some good 
things as an NBA coach, by the 

152
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,400
way, two time coach of the year.
And I also like the fact that he

153
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,080
worked in bigger markets. 
He was in LA. 

154
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,640
You know, he was on the bench 
when the Warriors were winning 

155
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,280
through the dynasty. 
You know, obviously coming to 

156
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,760
New York, I didn't think that he
would be overwhelmed by the 

157
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,280
spotlight or the, you know, that
the specter that the Knicks 

158
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,400
really are. 
I like the fact that he was 

159
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,160
involved with LeBron early. 
You know, really at the as 

160
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,480
LeBron was taking off. 
I didn't think that he would be 

161
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,640
overwhelmed by New York. 
But you know, I also wasn't sure

162
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,720
if he was the right guy for this
team and I'm still not. 

163
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,680
I'm not going nuts here and 
saying, all right, you know, 

164
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,720
couple of games in because I 
never really had to chain 

165
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,800
myself. 
I never put myself in a position

166
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,800
where I thought the Mike Brown 
hire was so bad that I, that I 

167
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,120
just I, I, I, I didn't like it 
and I didn't believe I was like,

168
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,080
OK, not my first choice. 
I would have moved on from Tom 

169
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Pivotal. 
Mike Brown was certainly not my 

170
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,960
first choice, but the guy's got 
a pretty decent resume. 

171
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,000
Let's see where this goes. 
And then, you know, you had some

172
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,480
issues in training camp where 
Cat was trying to figure out his

173
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,360
role and then, you know, while 
he hadn't fully figured out his 

174
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,080
role, that happened in the last 
month or so. 

175
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,320
And he has been phenomenal, man.
The guy took five or six shots 

176
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,320
last night and he had a triple 
double. 

177
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:38,960
I mean, he's along with Wilt. 
Think about this. 

178
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,760
Wilt Chamberlain, aside from 
Cat, is the only 7 footer or 

179
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,160
more in NBA playoff history with
a triple double. 

180
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,920
Nobody else has done it and Carl
Anthony Towns has. 

181
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:55,840
So I do think that after the 
Knicks won the, the Cup and then

182
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,240
there was that downspill in, in,
in performance and then, you 

183
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,520
know, really at the end of the 
year, they, they beat the teams 

184
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,280
they were supposed to. 
They lost some games. 

185
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,880
I'm like, I, I didn't know what 
the Knicks were coming into the 

186
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,600
playoffs here. 
And I don't know that they knew 

187
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,320
who they really were, which was 
terrifying because it's not like

188
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,360
a team put together for the 
first time. 

189
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,560
Hart's been here, Brunson's been
here. 

190
00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:21,360
Mitch has been here. 
You 2 year 2 for Cat. 

191
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,840
Obviously Deuce has been here, 
Bridges has been here, OG who 

192
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,920
has OG Anobi has been phenomenal
and OG he's been here a couple 

193
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,920
of years. 
So when when you see these 

194
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:36,040
setbacks or when you see these, 
these long periods of, of, of 

195
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,960
confused play, guys not really 
knowing roles, the rotation not 

196
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,840
fully set, stars not really 
knowing what's asked to them. 

197
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,440
It's worrisome because the 
window for the Knicks is now and

198
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,400
the pressure is still here. 
Like if the Knicks get whacked 

199
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,280
by the Celtics or if the Knicks 
get whacked by the Sixers, 

200
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:58,000
despite what's happened the last
couple of games here, Mike 

201
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,280
Brown's got to go. 
And then we will have the 

202
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,680
conversation about Goddess. 
Now, it might not be as one 

203
00:11:03,680 --> 00:11:06,960
sided as it would have been if 
Cat didn't start playing 

204
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,320
incredibly well and 
distinguishing himself as a very

205
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,040
different type of asset for the 
Knicks moving forward. 

206
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,560
I mean I was at the point I 
couldn't wait for him to leave. 

207
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,720
But I have always tried to 
comport myself this way doing 

208
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,720
what I do when there is evidence
like I could have. 

209
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,960
I can eviscerate somebody, I can
have a scolding hot take when I 

210
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,840
am presented this just the way I
operate. 

211
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,560
It's not a flip flop. 
It's a re evaluation. 

212
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,240
When I am given evidence to the 
contrary of my previous thought,

213
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,600
well then I'm going and it can't
just be a one off. 

214
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,440
It can't be one game because 
that's a flip flop. 

215
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,080
But when there's sustained 
evidence and mounting evidence 

216
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,880
that something is changing or 
someone is changing the inner of

217
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,200
a team or the way a player 
embraces his role or does not 

218
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,760
embrace his role and or perform 
well, then I've got the freedom 

219
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,280
to kind of change my take a 
little bit here. 

220
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,040
So things have changed in a big 
way, at least for now. 

221
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,160
But understand guys like, you 
know, the Knicks lost 

222
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,280
back-to-back games to the Hawks 
and they put themselves in a 

223
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,240
position where, all right, you 
know, you really shouldn't be in

224
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,840
this position in round one. 
You know, you shouldn't be here 

225
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,200
like that. 
The Knicks were supposed to be 

226
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,680
one of the main players in the 
league and now they finally look

227
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:21,120
like they are Denver. 
Denver's done. 

228
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,000
Like Denver's out. 
The Celtics very well might be 

229
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,760
out. 
And by the way, I don't the more

230
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,360
I think about this and I'm not 
going to get too deeply into 

231
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,080
this now because I do want to 
enjoy the win. 

232
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,000
I got some baseball stuff for 
you as well. 

233
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,720
But the like the I don't even 
know if I'd rather face the 

234
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,400
Celtics or the Sixers. 
I, I don't know, you know, And 

235
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:40,360
again, I'm, I'm not. 
Yeah. 

236
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,720
I got a good answer, I got a 
easy answer for you. 

237
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,880
You'd rather play the Celtics as
you'll beat the shit out of us. 

238
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,040
Yeah, you might be right. 
It's funny, I I hear you like 

239
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,560
Embiid, when he's right, 
presents all sorts of different 

240
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,920
problems. 
Maxi's a handful, Edgecomb is 

241
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,720
really good and the Celtics are 
incredibly reliable on the 

242
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,520
three-point shot. 
Either way, this is just one of 

243
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,360
those all time phenomenal days 
as a Knick fan. 

244
00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:10,120
If you can't enjoy today, like 
if you can't let this kind of 

245
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,720
linger and not get too wrapped 
up and maybe some previous takes

246
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,400
that you had, I don't know what 
to tell you because I am I'm 

247
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,960
we're having a party on this 
show today. 

248
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,880
All right, welcome to unleashed 
year. 

249
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,840
Today's show was always brought 
to you by my friends at Sullivan

250
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,320
prepaid. 
Of course, find them on a lot of

That's trollo1.com. 

252
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,040
Remember the name Sullivan 
Propane and by preview sausage 

253
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,560
premium all the way sausage 
should be find them at 

254
00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:38,280
premiumfoods.com or in your 
local grocery store. 

255
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,080
Now understand what's happened 
here right. 

256
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:45,080
So when they lost game 3, this 
is this is one of the more 

257
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,080
impressive things I've seen from
a nick playoff run in a while. 

258
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,600
OK, you lose Game 2. 
All right, you know a little 

259
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,920
circumstantial Hulks got hot 
whatever they didn't play a 

260
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,320
great game. 
They played a good quarter kind 

261
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,080
of the same deal in game three 
since then, all right, The 

262
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,960
Knicks had a 16 point Rd. win, 
they had a 29 point home blowout

263
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,360
win, and they had a historic 51 
point Rd. knockout. 

264
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,440
I mean, if that's not answering 
the bell, if that's not 

265
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,720
responding to adversity, I don't
know what is. 

266
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:21,000
They had a 41 to 5 run, they had
a 63 to 11 run, and they scored 

267
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,120
sixty points before the Hawks 
scored 20. 

268
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,560
Just incredible stuff, 
absolutely mind bending stuff 

269
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,800
and it's awesome. 
So Knick fans, yeah, you bet 

270
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,360
your ass we're feeling good 
today. 

271
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,480
Everybody's pumped up and this 
is what you want. 

272
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,920
And this is really what I was 
worried about when the Knicks 

273
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,280
lost that early game in Game 2 
with the Garden. 

274
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,240
I'm like, alright, I was never 
worried about beating the Hawks 

275
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:45,400
initially, and you guys know 
this. 

276
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,800
Initially I said Atlanta in five
and then I said, yeah, right 

277
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,680
before the series started, I 
said I'm feeling more Knicks in 

278
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,960
six. 
We happen to nail that. 

279
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,240
So if you guys listen to that 
and put a little future bet on 

280
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,760
that, you're welcome. 
But what when they lost that 

281
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,920
second game? 
I'm like, you know, all right, I

282
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,920
know they're going to store. 
I strongly believe that they're 

283
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,440
going to win the series. 
But you know, what is the 

284
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,440
residual impact downstream? 
Nick's going to have to play a 

285
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,240
deep, probably play a deeper 
series then you want to play. 

286
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,920
And then, you know, based on the
way the Celtics played in game 

287
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,080
one, sitting there saying, all 
right, you know, are the Celtics

288
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,280
going to handle business here? 
Like, what's going to happen? 

289
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,200
Early on, I didn't see the 
Sixers coming out and presenting

290
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,840
this sort of resistance and, you
know, making like the Celtics 

291
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,120
right now. 
I mean, they're scrambling. 

292
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,920
They are in scramble mode. 
So the Knicks get a leg up #1 

293
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,080
whether it's Josh Hart's back, 
whether it's, you know, Jalen 

294
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,800
Brunson's ankle, which always 
seems to be jacked up. 

295
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,120
You know, OG has had some soft 
tissue issues over the years, 

296
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,080
the hamstring, you know, going 
back to that Pacer series, which

297
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,200
they would have won a couple of 
years back. 

298
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,800
If he doesn't, you know, if his 
if his hamstring doesn't shred, 

299
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,080
you get a chance to chill, 
relax, feel good about yourself,

300
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,240
advance scout and really be 
locked in for that game one. 

301
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,560
We'll see if it's Philly Knicks 
hosted. 

302
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,880
If it's Celtics, they're on the 
road. 

303
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:06,200
So it is really, really good. 
It is really, really fun And 

304
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,280
here we are. 
But yet you can't help but 

305
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,720
notice the difference in this 
screen. 

306
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,680
And that was I pop my Guy J Rod 
back in that screen, look at 

307
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:16,880
that face. 
I know he's. 

308
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:17,720
I know. 
He's I'm. 

309
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,200
I. 
Mean I'm honestly trying to 

310
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:25,120
smile like I'm actually pissed I
mean they're the Celtics are 

311
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,520
we'll get more wait read this 
chat first it's from our guy 

312
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:28,960
let. 
Me, let me take care of the 

313
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:29,520
chat. 
What do we got? 

314
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,160
A little super chat. 
Obviously super chats always 

315
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,880
take priority at Mitch. under 
score. 

316
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,360
I under score and appreciate 
that Mitch, thank you very much.

317
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,480
BT look at the head gets 
interesting. 

318
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,480
Still believe Boston's better 
compared to Philly, but Knicks 

319
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,600
are built to match up better 
with Boston. 

320
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,600
I do agree with that aspect. 
So who do you want Hannah? 

321
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,160
It's my boy Mitch. 
Yeah, that's what I was saying 

322
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,880
there. 
You go, Hannah wants to pass the

323
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,840
sugar. 
That is my guy Mitch, who we had

324
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,400
on the show last week. 
That is our girl Hannah, who's 

325
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,400
become the number one fan in the
world. 

326
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,119
Their story is amazing. 
Mitch, I, I, I, I know, I, I saw

327
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,960
your your highlights last night.
I mean, you should be calling 

328
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,079
some of these games, man, you 
really should be. 

329
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:16,079
And I saw Hannah. 
She was enjoying this just man, 

330
00:17:16,079 --> 00:17:17,680
I mean, it's just it's beautiful
thing. 

331
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,560
So make sure you got you follow 
them on Instagram for those very

332
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,200
quickly. 
For those of you who don't know 

333
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:28,560
the story, Hannah was involved 
in an an incredibly serious car 

334
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,480
crash where she was T boned on 
the drive on the passenger side,

335
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,000
had traumatic brain injury and 
didn't know if she was going to 

336
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,200
make it altered her life, 
unfortunately forever. 

337
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,680
Mitch and his older sister 
Haley. 

338
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,160
Mitch, if I if I had that name 
wrong, I'm sorry. 

339
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,320
I believe it's Haley. 
I've just got so many names in 

340
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,840
my head right. 
I believe it's Haley and Haley 

341
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,800
wound the passing away from 
cancer and as a as a tandem, 

342
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,160
they made the decision because 
the doctors presented Mitch with

343
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,880
one of two options. 
You know, we, we, we can keep 

344
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,960
her alive. 
I mean, this is real stuff here,

345
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,480
man. 
We can, we can keep her alive 

346
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,320
and her her life will will never
be remotely what it was, but she

347
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,320
will be alive. 
Or you know, the the other 

348
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,040
option is, is you know, you know
what the other option is. 

349
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:21,000
And Mitch, along with his 
sister, made the amazing 

350
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,720
selfless sibling decision to do 
whatever it takes to care for 

351
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,280
her and keep her alive. 
So what Mitch started and he 

352
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,000
didn't even know that this was 
going to happen. 

353
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,080
He just, you know, he he studied
journalism in college. 

354
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:34,640
He's got a great voice. 
He calls a great game. 

355
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:40,160
And he basically just kind of 
noticed that when he was messing

356
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,880
around watching the Knicks and 
then kind of calling some games,

357
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,560
having some fun, that it would 
spark something and Hannah, it 

358
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:51,240
would spark a reaction. 
And from that, this was born. 

359
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,480
And every single game, all 82 
regular season games on 

360
00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:00,200
Instagram, every playoff game, 
obviously on Instagram, Mitch 

361
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,200
sits there with a microphone and
calls the game for his younger 

362
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,360
sister, who was right next to 
him. 

363
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,960
And, and it, you know, in, in a,
in a state that is just 

364
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,600
heartbreaking. 
I, when I had Mitch on on the 

365
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,160
show last week, I, I, I started 
choking up. 

366
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,040
I mean, it's, it's that kind of 
a story. 

367
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,840
So Mitch, you did not have to, I
mean, super chat. 

368
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,240
Stop, dude. 
You get you come on the show 

369
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,040
whenever you want and I will 
have you back on to actually 

370
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,960
talk about the Knicks when we 
know who the round two opponent 

371
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,800
is and all that stuff. 
But that's, that's the origin of

372
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,960
the, of the Mitch and or should 
say the Hannah and the Mitch 

373
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,680
story. 
And, you know, I've read a lot 

374
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,000
of things and I believe what I 
believe. 

375
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,920
Listen, I've I've made mistakes.
I'm I'm certainly far from 

376
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,320
perfect, but I am definitely a 
man of faith. 

377
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,000
But that's the kind of stuff 
that test you, you know, like 

378
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,080
the depth of the character and 
the depth of the of the 

379
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,440
selflessness. 
I mean Mitch has basically put 

380
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:00,320
his entire world on on hold 
because it had a requires 24 

381
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,480
hours a daycare. 
So it's just amazing, Mitch, I 

382
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:04,880
really hope you're enjoying this
man. 

383
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,760
You, you deserve this more day 
and we and we all deserve this. 

384
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,560
You know, as Nick fans here, we 
absolutely deserve this. 

385
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,800
All right, so, so Jay, let's 
just again, here I am smiling. 

386
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,640
I know Jay's trying to force a 
little rise smile, but you know,

387
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,560
because he said deep down he's 
terrified. 

388
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,000
No, he's Celtics. 
I don't know. 

389
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,640
I mean, he's Celtics. 
So here's the thing, and 

390
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,200
honestly, I'm going to bring 
some commenters into this, some 

391
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,680
comments I've seen on Unleash 
because all right, first, 

392
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,000
yesterday I see a comment. 
It goes, J Rod, what are you 

393
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,240
upset about? 
The Celtics won a championship 

394
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,360
two seasons ago. 
Wrong answer. 

395
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,720
Keep. 
Going, dude, are you kidding me?

396
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,120
Like what? 
I'm a even if your team won a 

397
00:20:44,120 --> 00:20:48,400
championship the day before, you
should still be just as riled 

398
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,360
up. 
If you've watched any of this 

399
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:54,160
show, you know, that's a big, 
you know, a big a big, what's 

400
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,960
the word commandment BT stands 
on? 

401
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,560
So that's one obviously going to
be fired up about the Celtics, 

402
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,920
especially when for how many 
years. 

403
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,600
And it's kind of it's it's 
tapered down a little bit as 

404
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,280
time has gone on. 
But 3-4 seasons ago, Jaylen 

405
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,480
Brown, Jayson Tatum future 
dynasty. 

406
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,200
It's not a dynasty and it never 
will be it. 

407
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,800
Never. 
Will be, you know, great. 

408
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,200
We got that one chip. 
The weakest championship since 

409
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,800
2018. 
A championship run that does not

410
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,280
feel good. 
Great. 

411
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:29,880
We won it. 
You know, we beat the Dallas 

412
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,600
Mavericks in six. 
They were horrible. 

413
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,040
And and this year you finally 
get a chance to see some 

414
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,560
adversity. 
Jason Tatum comes back. 

415
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,560
It's time to make a great story 
out of this season. 

416
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,520
Oh my God, the comeback. 
Joe Missoula, likely the coach 

417
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,120
of the year, Brad Stevens, 
executive of the year. 

418
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,400
It's time to make a real run. 
Done, done. 

419
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,360
The life is out of them. 
The the needle has been put into

420
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,920
the basketball. 
We do not have a center. 

421
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,760
We, I mean, first, we don't have
a center who can handle and 

422
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:02,960
beat. 
Hold on a second. 

423
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,840
Hold on a second. 
I I let me cut to the chat. 

424
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,040
Are you pronouncing the Celtics 
dead? 

425
00:22:07,360 --> 00:22:12,560
Oh, I I think we're losing Game 
7, which is a black, which may 

426
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,000
be a blasphemous thing for a fan
of a team to say no. 

427
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,840
It's realistic. 
I OK. 

428
00:22:18,120 --> 00:22:20,720
Realistically, I do not take us 
in game seven. 

429
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,080
I think, I think the tires been 
popped. 

430
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,440
I really do. 
I think Game 7 maxi's going to 

431
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,880
come out juiced up. 
And see that. 

432
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:33,080
Like, you know, he's, he's 
biting the Celtics for the past 

433
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:37,480
10 years, we've done nothing but
smack Philly in the playoffs. 

434
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,760
And now you've got your chance. 
You've got your team to take us 

435
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,600
down. 
It's it's happening. 

436
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,880
It's going to happen. 
It's. 

437
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,680
By the way, Jay, I love what you
say because I do. 

438
00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:49,400
There's a commandment of the 
show here. 

439
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,720
I don't care how much you won, 
whether you're a Yankee fan or, 

440
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,600
you know, a Cowboy fan back in 
the day or a Steeler fan back in

441
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:02,520
the day, or a Patriots fan this 
century, or the Warriors with 

442
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,880
their most recent dynasty, like 
to me, it doesn't matter. 

443
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:11,400
Now I will say this some the 
wins like the first one is 

444
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,400
always different, like prom 
night, first one's different, 

445
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,640
you know what I mean? 
So the first one's going to 

446
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,400
always resonate and it's going 
to be like when the Yankees won 

447
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,800
it in 96 and I was there for 
that. 

448
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,520
And that was the first one that 
I that I saw. 

449
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:26,600
It wasn't what I told you. 
I wasn't. 

450
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,320
I was too young and 77 and 78. 
So when they won and that final 

451
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,880
out and I was in the upper deck 
right behind home plate. 

452
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,880
And when Charlie Hayes caught 
that ball by the dugout, by the 

453
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:41,240
Braves dugout, my my like my 
road map to whether or not it 

454
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,200
was caught or not wasn't if I 
saw him catch it because I 

455
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,720
couldn't because of where I was 
in the old stadium. 

456
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,480
I was up and he was kind of 
pinched in. 

457
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,920
It was the reaction right? 
And I will I do unless, you 

458
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,240
know, when The Jets win and when
the Knicks win, that'll that'll 

459
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,160
be different. 
And if St. 

460
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,720
John's ever wins the 
championship tour. 

461
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,640
But the then then winning in 98.
It was amazing and it was 

462
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:04,360
awesome. 
And then winning in like awesome

463
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:07,320
2000 Mets different energy, 
awesome for different reasons. 

464
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,440
But now it's back-to-back to 
back nine. 

465
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:14,000
OK, But the first one, I I do 
think that the first one's 

466
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,480
always going to feel different. 
But that doesn't mean that the 

467
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,200
ensuing losses at the highest 
level shouldn't hurt and that 

468
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,320
you shouldn't process it in a 
very deep way. 

469
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,920
Because when the Yankees lost in
2001 on that broken bad base hit

470
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,760
up the middle against the 
Diamondbacks off MO, I was 

471
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,400
crushed. 
I was, I remember being, and now

472
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,680
a lot of that was with 911 and 
it was a different, yeah, 

473
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,720
different emotions. 
But I sat there and I on my 

474
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,640
couch and I, I don't think I 
moved for 5 minutes. 

475
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:45,200
I was just, I had my hands like 
I was just, I just, I couldn't 

476
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,960
unpack that one. 
And I did definitely 911 was a 

477
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,680
big reason for that. 
But yeah, I think that when 

478
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,240
people say and I I can't stand 
this, oh, come on, you guys have

479
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,080
won so much. 
Yeah, certain teams have won a 

480
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,840
lot, but the emotional and the 
financial commitment by the true

481
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,760
fans of that fan base that does 
win a lot doesn't make it easier

482
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,760
when they lose. 
Maybe from your purview on the 

483
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,600
outside, look it in, but when 
you're on the front lines, it's 

484
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,080
not. 
That's just not the way it goes.

485
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,920
So I do agree with what you just
said there. 

486
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,240
I get it. 
Yeah, no, I mean, I guess All in

487
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,880
all though, Game 7 not 
predicting a a victory. 

488
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,040
I think Embiid and Maxi are 
going to tear into US. 

489
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,920
I think I don't even want to say
it. 

490
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,680
I don't even want to say it like
I think the cat Embiid matchup 

491
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,440
will be great next round and 
screw out Horford. 

492
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,480
He jumps ship at the at the 
slightest sight of adverse. 

493
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,480
It it's amazing though, I mean, 
really, and again, the numbers 

494
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,400
are what the numbers are. 
But my biggest take away from 

495
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,680
this series aside from the 
historic takedown and it's just 

496
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,200
what you'll just never forget 
this. 

497
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,440
I mean, you really, you don't 
forget many playoff big wins or 

498
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,040
losses if you're a real fan. 
But I mean, this is different. 

499
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:00,920
This one will be referenced 
forever. 

500
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,000
I mean, your kids and my kids, 
kids, kids, kids. 

501
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,440
I mean, there's a really good 
chance that they will never see 

502
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,800
this again. 
I ever because it never happened

503
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,000
like this before. 
But my big take away is the 

504
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,600
response by the New York Knicks.
They lose Game 2, all right. 

505
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,440
And then you you don't look good
in Game 3. 

506
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,560
And now all of a sudden it's 
like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, 

507
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,400
whoa. 
The ice is getting a little 

508
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,120
thin. 
The noise is getting a little 

509
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:28,120
louder. 
The pressure is getting ramped 

510
00:26:28,120 --> 00:26:29,560
up. 
And now you're starting to 

511
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,240
envision because we talked about
it on the show. 

512
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,600
So I mean, if they don't get 
their act together and if they 

513
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,520
don't win three games, this is 
going back obviously a week or 

514
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,600
so ago and leading up to to last
night. 

515
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,400
If they don't handle business, 
new coach cat gun wrecking Bolta

516
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,000
team not good enough. 
This course is never going to 

517
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,040
win a championship. 
Like, it's one thing to lose in 

518
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,240
five or six in the NBA Finals 
and be overmatched or even lose 

519
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,240
in like, say, 7 in the Eastern 
Conference Finals. 

520
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,160
But when if the Knicks would 
have lost in Round 1? 

521
00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:03,360
And I never thought that they 
would, even when they were down 

522
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:06,000
in the series. 
But just because I feel one way 

523
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,200
doesn't mean that they're going 
to necessarily respond and 

524
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,160
mirror what I was thinking that 
they would do. 

525
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:18,040
And they did 16 point Rd. win, 
29 point home win, 51 point Rd. 

526
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:23,160
win back-to-back to back. 
So if there's any doubts about 

527
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,760
the character of the Knicks or 
the connectivity of the Knicks 

528
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:31,320
or what the ceiling of the 
Knicks could look like, that is 

529
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,120
now over. 
We have seen it and that's good.

530
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,760
Now, when you flip the coin 
over, this is now the standard 

531
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,480
that we will hold you to and 
that's the way it's supposed to 

532
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,680
be for a team that is trying to 
win a championship. 

533
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,720
You know what I mean? 
Like the Yankee state, Think 

534
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,160
about the Yankee standard all 
these years, like the Yankees 

535
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:53,480
have pumped out under Boone, you
know, 99 wins, 99 wins, 9594. 

536
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,280
Like they're always going to win
night and they're going to do it

537
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,040
again this year. 
But the standard is a 

538
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,800
championship. 
And you know, there's varying 

539
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,600
degrees of of belief in some of 
these recent Yankee teams. 

540
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,200
There's AI think a higher level 
of belief in this particular 

541
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:10,080
Yankee team really based on the 
starting pitching and some other

542
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,040
stuff. 
But the the evaluation of of the

543
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:18,440
Yankees is is is one thing. 
OK, but I even think this is 

544
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,960
going to sound counterintuitive.
I think that the evaluation of 

545
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,960
this Knicks team should even be 
more harsh. 

546
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,320
I'm going to tell you why, 
because when we talk about the 

547
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,520
Yankees in in totality, the 
Cashman, you know, the Cashman 

548
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,760
angle, the boot angle, the 
narrative around Judge, can you 

549
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:38,680
be an old time Yankee? 
Can you be a Ruth? 

550
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,520
Can you be a Garrett? 
Can you be a Damaggio? 

551
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,480
Can he be a Jeter? 
Can he be one of those guys? 

552
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,440
Can he be an A rod at 09 without
a championship? 

553
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,320
And I've got my thoughts and and
you have yours and, and it is 

554
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,920
what it is, right? 
But the Yankees, the last X 

555
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,480
amount of years have been very 
imperfectly built. 

556
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,400
This Knicks team has everything 
that you need. 

557
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,000
The only thing that we don't 
know, and we're getting, be 

558
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,840
beginning to get some more 
answers to the positive here. 

559
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,720
Do they have the right coach? 
And I'm not about to say that 

560
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,880
they absolutely do. 
I'm not saying that, but I'm 

561
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:11,160
certainly not saying that they 
don't. 

562
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:16,280
And then, of course, the 
evolution of Carl Anthony Towns.

563
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,120
Massive props to that guy 
because I don't know, outside of

564
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:26,760
Carmelo Anthony, who I've 
hammered right, there has not 

565
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,280
been a nick that I've been as 
critical of as Carl Anthony 

566
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,560
Towns. 
And you know, this and this goes

567
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,320
back to my days on the fan where
I just, you know, I thought he 

568
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,080
was a little soft or a little 
sloppy or a little slow. 

569
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,680
You know, we have now seen 
aggressive cat. 

570
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,240
We have now seen confident cat. 
We have now seen incredibly what

571
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,440
we usually see a fishing cat. 
Even with the issues I've had 

572
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,960
with him, even go back to 
Minnesota, he was always 

573
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,360
efficient. 
You know, 40% from the from 

574
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,960
downtown, 80% from the strike, 
50% from the field, All Stars, 

575
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,320
all NBA. 
See that the micro analysis of 

576
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,200
somebody like Karl Anthony Towns
is only there because of his 

577
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,560
immense skill set. 
You know, when you're 7 feet and

578
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,640
you could just flick it like a 
nerf ball from 25 feet away. 

579
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,880
You know, not like you Steph 
Curry, but you know, pretty damn

580
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,000
good and you're you shoot free 
throws basically like Larry Bird

581
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,040
or somebody like or Mark Price, 
somebody like that where Mullen 

582
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,720
who basically never misses. 
We want more, we demand more and

583
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,120
the the growth. 
It's almost like it's funny. 

584
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,840
He's from here, right? 
He grew up here in the tri-state

585
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,440
area, goes to Kentucky, goes to 
Minnesota, but it's almost like 

586
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:47,640
it took him being kicked around 
to dig down deep and and and and

587
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,560
and rediscover or pull out a 
deeper level of that. 

588
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,120
New York, New Jersey. 
Excuse me? 

589
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,400
New York, New Jersey. 
Great. 

590
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,720
You know what I mean? 
And he has responded the way you

591
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,280
want somebody to respond. 
There were two choices. 

592
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,280
Put your head in the sand and 
just slink around. 

593
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,600
Or you know what? 
All right, my coach is not using

594
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,800
me properly. 
So I'm going to do what I can do

595
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:13,240
to impact winning. 
And currently, I watched this 

596
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,000
press conference last night, so 
I went right over to MSG as I 

597
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:21,280
often do during the playoffs. 
And it was Pete Owen and of 

598
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,160
course Alan Hahn and wildly 
Zerbiak. 

599
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,520
And those guys are great. 
I've known I've known Alan 

600
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,360
forever and I know Wally a 
little bit. 

601
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,440
They're great, right? 
And they rolled into the press 

602
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,760
conferences. 
Mike Brown spoke and and Brunson

603
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,360
spoke on the court with with 
with Monica was it who's really 

604
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,680
good? 
I like Monica too. 

605
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,720
And Cat was like, you know, I'm 
just all about winning. 

606
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:46,200
Like his answers were so perfect
it but you know, I, I, I thought

607
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,280
and I think that I'm mistaken 
here. 

608
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,760
I've thought, and I've always 
thought that once you get to a 

609
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,760
certain point as a pro that the 
development kind of stops. 

610
00:31:56,920 --> 00:32:00,760
Like after a while, it kind of 
are what you are, whether it's 

611
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,640
physically or mentally, right. 
But this dude's hit a new level.

612
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,680
He has hit a new level and he's 
done it amidst some of the most 

613
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,680
scathing criticism that any Nick
has ever had in my lifetime, 

614
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,200
really. 
So, I mean, just massive ups to 

615
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,000
him. 
Massive props to the Knicks. 

616
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,880
Absolute demolition, 
destruction, soul snatching, 

617
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,880
beat down, ass kicking. 
All right, there's a little Ric 

618
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,280
Flair for you. 
Whoa. 

619
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:30,960
All right, let's get to the 
calls here. 

620
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,600
What do we got there, J Rod, 
let's go. 

621
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,320
We've got Benji from Upper East 
Side. 

622
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,360
Oh, he's got to be feeling nice,
Benji. 

623
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,160
What's going on, brother? 
What's up? 

624
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,400
BT could not wait to call in 
today. 

625
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,360
That was just a remarkable, epic
performance. 

626
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,880
My young kids who were 7:00 and 
9:00, my boys, they were 

627
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,520
watching the game last night in 
amazement, not so much of the 

628
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,960
game, but just looking at the 
score and seeing 60 to 19. 

629
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,600
And they said we cannot believe 
what is happening at this 

630
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,680
moment. 
So that was. 

631
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,440
Just epic stuff. 
Well, well, Benji. 

632
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,160
So last time my daughter had a 
softball game which I coached. 

633
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,240
So we ended in time and then my 
son had a pitching lesson about 

634
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,680
15 minutes away. 
So my wife took him to, I 

635
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,520
usually take him there. 
My wife took him last night 

636
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,040
because, you know, I wanted to 
get back and #1 I had to finish 

637
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,400
coaching the game, but she knew 
it was Nick's time, right? 

638
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,120
So I actually missed the 1st 7 
or 8 minutes of the game. 

639
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,600
And I re and you know, I put it 
on, I rewind it. 

640
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,400
I'm like, holy shit, is this 
actually really happening? 

641
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,920
And then my son text me from 
the, from the car. 

642
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,040
He's like, is there something 
wrong with the score on the CBS 

643
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,480
Sports app? 
I'm like, Nope, this is real. 

644
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,840
And he walked in the house. 
He's like, wow. 

645
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,800
I mean, so your kids are 
basically my kids age. 

646
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,920
And I mean, they're not going to
see this one again. 

647
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,600
I mean, I know I'm certainly not
going to see this again and 

648
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:45,320
they're not going to see this 
against the kind of night it 

649
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,640
was. 
It was incredibly special. 

650
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,040
So we got to soak in these three
days of nonstop praise that our 

651
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,600
heroes are going to get. 
Just a quick, couple quick notes

652
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,960
on the game. 
So First off, on March 6th, the 

653
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,960
Knicks won by 39 in Denver. 
It was at that moment and I and 

654
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,000
you can check my timeline at 
this moment into I posted on 

655
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,640
Twitter. 
This was the vision. 

656
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,080
This was a game where the Knicks
destroyed a good tempered team 

657
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,880
without that I thought was 
overrated all season. 

658
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,679
Now we're seeing that they're 
heading to Cancun. 

659
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,280
Good riddance. 
OG had 34 in that game. 

660
00:34:17,639 --> 00:34:20,760
It showed when everybody 
fulfills their role and plays it

661
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:24,440
to a tee. 
This team ceiling is to win a 

662
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,800
title and I saw that on March 
6th and A and a seemingly 

663
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,400
harmless Friday night game that 
we could do that. 

664
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,360
A couple quick notes on the 
opponent here. 

665
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,199
I mean, obviously OG and Kat 
were were out of this world in 

666
00:34:35,199 --> 00:34:36,920
this series. 
I thought Alvarado. 

667
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:38,840
Yep. 
In the limited minutes last 

668
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,960
night, this guy's getting a 
steal, falling out of bounds, 

669
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,600
and he's diving with a guy who. 
This guy is one of the most 

670
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,960
fearless athletes at his size 
that I've ever seen. 

671
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,400
He's a. 
Warrior man, love him. 

672
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,760
He's I know you. 
You've always loved him. 

673
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,120
So it's great to see Kat getting
all the historic praise and 

674
00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,960
stuff like that for next round. 
Philly, OK, we get we get the we

675
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,560
get the pleasure of being able 
to sit back and roll and enjoy 

676
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,920
these games with without the 
pressure of it mattering to us. 

677
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,960
OK, we're just sitting back as 
spectators here. 

678
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,920
So Boston presents issues, but I
think they're not as good A-Team

679
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:17,120
as they were last season. 
Last season they had Cornet and 

680
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,800
from a defensive standpoint he 
gave Cat issues. 

681
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:21,800
If you recall, he had one of his
probably the best game of his 

682
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,760
career in that series, Cornett. 
Exactly. 

683
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,520
So with Philly, couple quick 
things here. 

684
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,800
What worries me, I'm not 
worried, right, because I think 

685
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,320
we can beat anybody. 
What worries me is. 

686
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,480
You've. 
Talked about this before. 

687
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,680
Cat doesn't have a great ability
to control his body. 

688
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,560
So we all know Embiid flops 
around like a fish on the floor 

689
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,960
and and Cat just given his size 
and just how he contorts his 

690
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,000
body, that creates an issue from
a foul trouble standpoint. 

691
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,520
So that's the biggest worry for 
me. 

692
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,480
I would put OG on him and we've 
OG have success. 

693
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,200
In fact, swat one of his shots 
early in the season aimed down 

694
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,120
in Philly. 
So I really think that is the 

695
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,480
move 'cause we cannot have any 
foul tribute trouble issues with

696
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,520
Cat. 
Well, I will say with Embiid, 

697
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:10,480
Embiid obviously is is he's a 
tremendous issue for any team, 

698
00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:13,160
but he's not shooting the three 
nearly as well as he has 

699
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,440
historically. 
He was 2 for 16 from three in 

700
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:19,640
this so far in this series. 
And Edgecomb as well is having a

701
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,320
major issue shooting the three 
ball in this series. 

702
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,840
Quentin Grimes, I don't know 
your feelings on him. 

703
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,760
I think he is absolute 
garbaggio. 

704
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,800
I think this guy is and I liked 
him for. 

705
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,320
A minute with the Knicks, I'm 
like, oh, when they got when 

706
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,280
they moved on, I'm like, I 
thought he was a three and like,

707
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,600
I like Grimes and I'm sure a lot
of Knick fans were with me, but 

708
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,200
no, I'm not worried about 
Quentin Grimes. 

709
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,440
That's for sure. 
Right. 

710
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,400
So that that's the that's. 
Really the extent of their 

711
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,080
bench. 
So from that standpoint, Philly 

712
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,760
is very thin off the bench. 
Boston has a little bit more 

713
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,680
because Pritchard can come out 
and he can give you 30. 

714
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,360
He's shown that in a big playoff
game and he's a major matchup 

715
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,040
issue. 
So I think I think there's 

716
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,520
there's two sides of it. 
I think Philly, the thing that 

717
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,320
would make them a tougher match 
up for us is the fact that Max, 

718
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,720
he doesn't seem to be able to be
guarded at all. 

719
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,760
And we've seen that he gets 
right by Bronson. 

720
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,360
There's no issue. 
He gets he terrifies me. 

721
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,320
Yep. 
He's good. 

722
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:10,120
He's very good. 
Well, listen, I mean, those are 

723
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:11,880
a lot of things there, Benj. 
I got you, man. 

724
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:13,640
I got you, brother. 
So. 

725
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,400
All right, thanks. 
All right, Thanks, man. 

726
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,240
Let's. 
Let's let's try to make this, 

727
00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:20,520
this old rendezvous happen and 
let's let's get down to it. 

728
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:21,520
We're getting close. 
Let's go. 

729
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:23,280
That a boy. 
Benji, appreciate you. 

730
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:24,880
I mean, the other thing too. 
Thanks for the call. 

731
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,400
The other thing too is like if 
it is Philly, you know, Nick 

732
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,800
fans are taking the building 
over again because it's happened

733
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,920
before. 
So that would be a lot of fun to

734
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,440
see. 
Yeah. 

735
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,640
I mean, Maxi is is tricky for 
sure. 

736
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,880
I mean, he's I think he's 
awesome, but you know, we could 

737
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,880
get into the matchups when we 
know exactly who the Knicks are 

738
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:45,600
going to play. 
I mean, the one thing that I 

739
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:49,720
will say, obviously with this, 
this issue with with Tatum, with

740
00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:54,160
with the calf, the non 
surgically repaired leg from the

741
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,840
ruptured Achilles, you know, 
that that could be an issue. 

742
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,600
And I'm not rooting for that 
because I've got I've got great.

743
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,360
I I want to yeah, I just don't 
root for injury. 

744
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,720
I just, I think that's 
ridiculous. 

745
00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:04,080
Some of you do when I just I 
think you're tempting fate. 

746
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,400
I never root for injury. 
Somebody's down. 

747
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,280
I want to see him get up, even 
if it's going to complicate my 

748
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,080
team. 
That's just the way I I wasn't 

749
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,720
always like that, to be fair, 
but I think I've grown that way 

750
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,120
as I've gotten older. 
But we talk about physical 

751
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,640
reliability. 
Let's say it is Philly, all 

752
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,640
right? 
I mean, can you really bank on 

753
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,000
and beat? 
I know we would have a couple of

754
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,040
games where he'd go bonkers and 
he's not hitting the three the 

755
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:27,240
way he usually does. 
You're right. 

756
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:30,720
I would think that that would 
change, but I mean, I I wouldn't

757
00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:33,000
have much of an issue rolling 
the dice on indeed being healthy

758
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,480
for two weeks straight and 
playing high level, high energy,

759
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,960
intense playoff basketball 
without some sort of physical 

760
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,600
malfunction. 
I mean, it really doesn't happen

761
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,440
with him, you know, plus you get
the whole Mitch and and indeed, 

762
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,440
you know, that little dynamic 
there as well. 

763
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,840
Stay off the bandwagon. 
What, what is this guy talking 

764
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,240
about? 
Stay off the bandwagon after 

765
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:56,520
game three. 
I wanted Brown fired. 

766
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,080
Brunt keep this up. 
I'm going to attack this point 

767
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:03,120
by point. 
Brunson slander now the Knicks 

768
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,400
or finals bounce. 
Stay off the bandwagon. 

769
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,520
The first of all Tony, you 
don't. 

770
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,440
You don't tell me what to do. 
I memo to Tony. 

771
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,920
I don't know how old you are and
I respect your passion. 

772
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,360
Tap the brakes buddy. 
I've been rooting for the Knicks

773
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,880
since the early 80s. 
Relax #1 #2 pointing out 

774
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:23,480
deficiency maybe in your overly 
optimistic, you know, fanboy 

775
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:28,040
world, pointing out, you know, 
deficiencies for certain players

776
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:32,200
is not slanderous. 
It's called #1 doing my job and 

777
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,920
#2 being real, calling it the 
way it is. 

778
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:39,960
So yes, if if you interpret what
I said about Jaylen Brunson 

779
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:43,760
being too ball dominant, 
monopolizing the ball, settling 

780
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,480
for some bad shots, not getting 
everybody involved, if that's 

781
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,320
what you hear when I say that, 
well, then that's a youth thing.

782
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:51,880
That's Brett. 
I can promise it's not a beef 

783
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,160
thing. 
Because the real Knick fans, the

784
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:56,680
and I'm not saying you're not 
rooting for the Knicks. 

785
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:57,920
I don't. 
I'm not trying to go nuts on you

786
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,600
here, but like the Knick fans 
who are able to balance fandom 

787
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,120
with practicality and like 
realism. 

788
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,120
That's been an issue kind of all
year for Jaylen Brunson. 

789
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,480
He just gets shot happy and he 
goes shot hunting. 

790
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:16,720
And there's a reason why outside
of Isaiah Thomas, there's been 

791
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:21,600
exactly 1 player at his position
and his size that has been able 

792
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,200
to lead his team to a 
championship. 

793
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,320
It just doesn't happen much, you
know? 

794
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:29,640
And as much as I love Jaylen 
Brunson and I love him, Jaylen 

795
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,080
Brunson is not Isaiah Thomas. 
So tap them. 

796
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,560
All right #1 what else do we say
here? 

797
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,160
I never once said fire Brown. 
I didn't say that after game 

798
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,680
three. 
Listen, I do appreciate you 

799
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:45,400
pushing back and I appreciate 
the Super chat as well, but you 

800
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,440
can't mince my words. 
What I have always said is if 

801
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,440
the, and I've said this during 
the year, I said this going into

802
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,560
the season, if the Knicks don't 
at least get to the conference 

803
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:59,840
finals, then Mike Brown will be 
fired and Cat will be shipped 

804
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:01,480
out. 
Now, if you got an issue with 

805
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,480
that, I'm sorry. 
That's the way I feel. 

806
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,240
Then I still feel that way. 
Like if the Knicks play like ass

807
00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:11,000
in round two and they lose in 
five or six, and there's this 

808
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,920
regression, which I don't expect
by the way, because I do think 

809
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,240
that they discovered a new, like
a new DNAI think the Knicks have

810
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:22,240
clearly evolved and grown and 
they are absolutely more 

811
00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:23,840
connected. 
And the head coach deserves 

812
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:25,840
credit on that. 
And I'm going to give Mike Brown

813
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:29,800
the credit for that. 
But if Round 2 is the complete 

814
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,800
antithesis of what we just 
watched, well, then I'll say the

815
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,160
same thing. 
And then you can send in a super

816
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,200
chat. 
Maybe you could double the price

817
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:41,200
and you can say what with what 
you're saying today, the 

818
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,640
difference will be I will be 
right. 

819
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,320
It will happen. 
Mike Brown will be fired. 

820
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,440
And depending upon how Jaylen 
Brunson plays, Jaylen Brunson 

821
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,120
will be hit hard. 
That's called expectations, 

822
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:55,720
dude. 
So there is to it. 

823
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,520
Come on. 
Hey, he doubled it. 

824
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,640
He doubled it. 
Oh. 

825
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:05,040
He's coming at me here. 
How about this tone, Tony? 

826
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,120
How about you call me? 
Let's. 

827
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,560
Let's get after it. 
Let's go get him up first. 

828
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,000
Now, maybe Tony's at work. 
Maybe Tony can't call. 

829
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,040
And if you can't, Tony, I 
respect it. 

830
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:17,160
And I'll let you talk. 
I'm not going to shout you down.

831
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:18,840
Let me listen. 
If you want to keep sending me 

832
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:20,400
money, we could do that whole 
day as well. 

833
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,440
I won't take another chat here. 
It's a youth thing. 

834
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,600
Panicking after three games, and
now you look dumb. 

835
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,160
Brunson's the best Nick playoff 
performer since Clyde. 

836
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,680
OK, You're a little younger, so 
you're leaning on the history. 

837
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,240
I didn't see Clyde play. 
Based on that chat, that 

838
00:42:37,240 --> 00:42:40,280
comment, I don't think that you 
saw Bernard King play. 

839
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,240
And that's OK because you're 
you're, you know, you're a 

840
00:42:42,240 --> 00:42:45,640
product of when you were born 
and you were victim of when you 

841
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:47,320
were born to an extent with 
certain things. 

842
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,760
I remember watching Bernard King
average 42 1/2 points against 

843
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,680
the Pistons with the flu. 
OK. 

844
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,120
And with multiple broken 
fingers. 

845
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,360
Go to YouTube after BT 
Unleashed, of course, and type 

846
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:07,680
in Bernard King Pistons 83. 
You will see on both hands 

847
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,120
multiple fingers taped together 
because they were busted. 

848
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:15,080
You will see Louis or you know 
before the before the MJ flu 

849
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,120
game. 
You will see Louis or rest in 

850
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,720
peace, good guy. 
You will see Louis Orr and like 

851
00:43:20,720 --> 00:43:24,600
Rory Sparrow and Hubie Brown and
Bill Cartwright and Trent Tucker

852
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:28,320
and Darryl Walker basically 
helping Bernard King to the 

853
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:32,360
bench because Bernard King had 
103 fever and he still dropped 

854
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,640
43 points on the Pistons and 
won. 

855
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,320
And then the next series against
one of the greatest teams in the

856
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:43,720
history of the NBA, the Celtics,
with Byrd, with Mikhail, with 

857
00:43:43,720 --> 00:43:48,520
Parrish, Right. 
You saw Cornbread Maxwell say 

858
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:53,240
that that Bernard King would not
score 30 again in that series. 

859
00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:56,480
Anthony went off in one of the 
games early and Bernard King, he

860
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,040
was right. 
He didn't go for 30. 

861
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:01,400
He dropped the 40 spot down 
their throat and the Celtics won

862
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,960
by in in in seven games and the 
Knicks. 

863
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:07,920
Just think about some of the 
names I mentioned, Rory Sparrow,

864
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:13,000
Trent Tucker, Darryl Walker. 
Think about the Bernard King, 

865
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,600
Louis Orr. 
Again, not this, not to 

866
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:18,800
disrespect those guys, but yet 
nobody and nobody. 

867
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,320
And he went toe to toe with 
Bird. 

868
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,320
Even Larry Bird at that point 
said this guy's, this dude's 

869
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,560
this is the best player I've 
ever seen. 

870
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,760
It's unstoppable. 
Now we wound up saying the same 

871
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,520
thing about Jordan a couple of 
years later. 

872
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:33,080
So, you know, just call in, cut 
the nonsense, call in, stop with

873
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:38,960
the chats, call in. 
Yeah, no, I mean I've. 

874
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:40,920
Sent I've now sent the link a 
bunch of times. 

875
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,680
Go come on man. 
This please. 

876
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,680
Don't you guys know by now that 
this is my favorite part of 

877
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,400
doing this? 
I love this. 

878
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,440
And we're going to be 
respectful, unless of course, 

879
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:51,840
you're not, which I think you 
will be. 

880
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,840
We're going to get after it 
because what you're saying is 

881
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,400
not, it's not accurate. 
That's not what I said. 

882
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:02,960
And I've got mountains of videos
and shorts and clips to prove 

883
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,680
it. 
So I will just drop the mic 

884
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:07,000
there a little bit. 
Very soft at least. 

885
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:08,600
I'm not looking to drop the mic,
but I will. 

886
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,000
I will place the microphone down
and I will move on to the next 

887
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,280
issue here, the next item. 
And if Tony calls in, and I hope

888
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,720
he does, we'll see what happens.
All right, You know what I'm 

889
00:45:18,720 --> 00:45:20,080
saying, Jay. 
Yes, Sir. 

890
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:20,680
Yeah. 
Come. 

891
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:25,320
On man come. 
On I do have let me at least 

892
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,440
we're going to get a lot of Nick
calls here. 

893
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,640
Obviously I do have a few other 
things that I want to get into. 

894
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,600
Can you slap the the full screen
tweet that I sent you this 

895
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,360
morning that I sent out 
yesterday? 

896
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:45,000
This is just can you look at 
that, Look at that, the 1962 

897
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,960
Mets, the lovable, amazing Mets,
right? 

898
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:51,680
And they were an expansion team.
Nobody's trying to dog him here.

899
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:53,800
Casey Stengel, you know those 
guys, right? 

900
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:59,920
That was among the most wretched
teams in the history of 

901
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:03,000
baseball, going well over 100 
years. 

902
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:10,360
The 62 Mets started 12 and 19 
the 2026 Mets. 

903
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,960
Or worse. 
Now, to be fair to the 2026 

904
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:18,160
Mets, not that they deserve it, 
the 1962 Mets did lose their 

905
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,560
next 17 after that, and they 
went 40 and won 20. 

906
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,640
And they were one of the three 
worst teams literally of all 

907
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:30,240
time in the history of baseball.
But that just illuminates right 

908
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:31,400
there. 
You can take it off there, Jay, 

909
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:36,120
where the Mets are another blown
lead, another loss. 

910
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,440
Like, I mean, I'm just, I'm, I'm
running out of things to say 

911
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:40,760
here, man. 
You know, 9 days ago where 10 

912
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,440
days ago I was saying, all 
right, you're getting a gift 

913
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:44,920
here for the schedule gods, 
right? 

914
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:46,800
So I knew the Mets were 
scuffling, but I, I didn't think

915
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,160
that I didn't think it would 
morph into this, you know, when 

916
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,520
they've got the worst, they're 
the worst team in baseball. 

917
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,840
And I said, gift, you've got to 
receive this from the baseball 

918
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,920
gods. 
The Twins, the Rockies and the 

919
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:03,920
Nationals all coming into 
Queens. 9 games, a chance to 

920
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,080
stabilize your season. 
Go seven and two, All right, If 

921
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,240
you're not up for that, 9, go 
six and three. 

922
00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:11,920
Hell, go five and four. 
They would just end the noise 

923
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:15,120
here. 
No, they go 3:00 and 6:00 and 

924
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,880
they have lost 17 of 20. 
And I just really don't know 

925
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:23,480
what to tell you because what 
I'm not going to do, I'm not 

926
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,920
going to get on this show every 
day and just hit the low hanging

927
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:30,760
fruit there. 
There comes a point where the 

928
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:35,400
target is so easy. 
And it, it, it's, it's no longer

929
00:47:35,400 --> 00:47:39,480
fun because now it becomes now 
it goes to a spot that I'm not 

930
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:44,280
trying to go to. 
So I am not trying to humiliate 

931
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,360
Carlos Mendoza. 
I, I mean, I'm not trying to 

932
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,920
humiliate anybody really. 
Yet that's never been my thing. 

933
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,680
But if I'm Carlos Mendoza, I 
mean, I'm, I'm basically saying 

934
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,760
just Get Me Out of here. 
Please put me out of my misery. 

935
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:02,480
I can't do this anymore. 
Now, I understand that the 

936
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:04,320
roster is horrendous. 
We all know that, right? 

937
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:08,200
But can somebody explain to me 
why last night or yesterday? 

938
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,680
All right, Soto has a lead off 
double. 

939
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:14,280
It's the 8th inning. 
You pull Melendez, who had, who 

940
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,480
was batting third, who's hitting
345 since the Mets pulled them 

941
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,960
up from the minors, right, man, 
I'm not saying he's Keith 

942
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,920
Hernandez in the three hole, but
he's outside of Soto. 

943
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,920
He's the only regular that is 
currently he's, he's actually, 

944
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,480
he's the only other player 
besides Soto on the roster right

945
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:35,680
now with an OPS over 7, not over
8 / 700 hits, a three run bomb. 

946
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,480
You're like, all right, here we 
go. 

947
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:37,800
Mets will find a way to win 
this, right? 

948
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:41,160
And then he as a single has a 
couple of hits and he let him 

949
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,760
hit earlier in the game against 
a lefty and he pinch hits Austin

950
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:50,160
Slater for him, who just got 
here and who stinks. 

951
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:54,880
And people tell me it's not. 
It's not Carlos Mendoza's fault,

952
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:56,720
and I know it's not all his 
fault. 

953
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,760
You could only hit the levers 
that you are given the 

954
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:03,120
opportunity to to hit or the 
buttons that you're given a 

955
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,280
chance to push. 
It's obviously sterns his fault 

956
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:12,080
for this wreck of a roster, but 
Mendoza doesn't make it better. 

957
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,520
He just doesn't. 
Don't give me the lefty left. 

958
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,760
It just don't give me that. 
Let him swing the stick. 

959
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,520
Nobody's hitting you willingly. 
Not because of injury. 

960
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,320
You know, it's not like they're 
bringing Mariano in. 

961
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:30,640
You know, you willingly sat down
to do who had a three run Homer 

962
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,680
and is playing very well for 
somebody that will not be here 

963
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,160
in a month. 
That's what you did. 

964
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,840
So I mean, the defensive Carlos 
Mendoza at this point to be is 

965
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,640
comical. 
But again, I'm going to stop 

966
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,960
there because it's too easy and 
I don't want to be that guy. 

967
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,800
And I'm not trying to rub it in.
This is one of the saddest 

968
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:54,480
seasons of any New York team 
that I have seen in any sport. 

969
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,840
It's that bad. 
I mean, are they going to win 

970
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:00,680
some games eventually? 
I I mean, everybody does in 

971
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,640
baseball. 
Even the shittiest teams win two

972
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:06,080
in a row or three in a row. 
And we talked about this 

973
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,480
yesterday. 
It's it's got to be the hope. 

974
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,400
And he's trying. 
I mean, every game he's banging 

975
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,400
out some hits, you know, but 
it's not basketball where MJ 

976
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:15,840
could go and get 50 and will, 
you know, those early Bulls 

977
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:18,480
teams before they became 
championship teams to some wins 

978
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,280
or or the eight spot in the 
playoffs and drop 60 something 

979
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:24,320
against Byrd Celtics. 
You know, there's only so much 

980
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,240
Juan Soto could do. 
He's hitting now, now that the 

981
00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:29,320
rust is gone. 
And as we talked about 

982
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,800
yesterday, he's even taking a 
position to leadership, whether 

983
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,280
it's about Lendor, you know, the
friction with Lendor, the 

984
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:36,120
perceived friction. 
You know, they don't get along. 

985
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,800
Whatever. 
Opening day didn't really shake 

986
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,440
hands. 
Everybody made a big deal of 

987
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,600
that. 
At least Soto is saying the 

988
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,920
right things about where the 
after the win the other night, 

989
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,960
where they're going to be, where
they're going to be in the end. 

990
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,680
At least. 
I I appreciate that he's trying 

991
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:53,400
to exert, you know, his his 
powers and his leadership. 

992
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:58,480
So the Mets situation, it's just
it's heinous. 

993
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,240
Like that's the word that it's 
heinous. 

994
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,320
You know, I got to get one more 
thing on the Mets in a second. 

995
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,520
I'll read that in a moment. 
You know, let me get to this 

996
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,440
here because I don't want to 
spend a lot of time on the Mets 

997
00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:11,840
here. 17 of 20. 
Wow, 28th and batting average 

998
00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,880
dead lasted on base percentage, 
dead last and slugging 29th and 

999
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:17,680
runs it. 
I mean, it's just bad. 

1000
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,600
So Luke Weaver, right? 
I'm not going to clown. 

1001
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:23,360
I know some people like having 
fun with this. 

1002
00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:25,960
Like, you know, the Mets take 
the Yankees trash. 

1003
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:28,480
Like it's just as I've always 
said, that stuff doesn't 

1004
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:32,520
interest me to me. 
It's it for me, it's juvenile. 

1005
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:33,760
Like I'm not going to lean into 
that. 

1006
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,680
I'm not saying I won't take a 
little Barb at the Mets here and

1007
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,960
there when some of the Mets fans
get a little overly rambunctious

1008
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,160
because, you know, it just gets 
annoying after a while. 

1009
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,640
But like, I don't look to play 
that game with great frequency. 

1010
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:48,920
I really don't, you know, but 
Luke Weaver, former Yankee, 

1011
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,400
obviously Clay Holmes has been 
pretty good and and some other 

1012
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:55,160
former Yankees brought in. 
So Luke Weaver had a very long 

1013
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,000
press conference after the game,
very introspective, very smart 

1014
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:01,280
guy talking about how I 
paraphrase here. 

1015
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,360
It's just way too long to play 
it. 

1016
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,200
It was long and he was very 
honest and I appreciate that. 

1017
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,360
He's like, listen, I really 
thought about what I was going 

1018
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:10,920
to even say to you guys. 
Try to anticipate the questions 

1019
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,400
that you were going to. 
He gave up a home run, of 

1020
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,240
course, and he's been horrible 
this year, but he owns it, 

1021
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,960
right? 
He does own it and I appreciate 

1022
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,200
that. 
But he he also said, you know, 

1023
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,680
it was mostly about the team, 
but pertaining to himself. 

1024
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:28,520
I thought he went in a direction
that is just not consistent with

1025
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:31,280
who he's been as a major leaguer
like you would. 

1026
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:32,840
And he was very I want to be 
cool. 

1027
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,720
He was humble, he was raw, he 
was honest, he was thoughtful, 

1028
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:38,520
he was introspective, all those 
things. 

1029
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,760
So I'm not looking to clown him.
But I also thought he missed the

1030
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,840
mark a little bit here when he 
was talking about himself. 

1031
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:49,240
I mean, Luke Weaver has been in 
baseball for 11 years. 

1032
00:52:49,360 --> 00:52:51,280
He's been on seven teams, all 
right. 

1033
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,200
The Diamondbacks, his ERA was 
4.72. 

1034
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,760
The Cardinals, it was 4.79. 
The Reds, it was 6.87. 

1035
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:03,120
The Royals, it was 5.59. 
Seattle, it was 6 point O 8. 

1036
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:07,280
The Mets so far, it's a flat 6. 
And with the Yankees, otherwise 

1037
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:10,320
his career ERA would be well 
over 5. 

1038
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,880
Was a very serviceable 3.22. 
And at certain points he was 

1039
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,720
outstanding. 
Took the closest role as we 

1040
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:20,040
know, you know, but he was 
saying some things. 

1041
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,640
I'm like, does this guy realize 
that he's he's barely a Major 

1042
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,960
League pitcher? 
Like, look at your stats, dude. 

1043
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,520
It's not one or two years. 
It's your entire career. 

1044
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,080
So world of issues for the Mets,
world of issues. 

1045
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:35,520
I want to get some Yankee stuff 
in a minute. 

1046
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:37,000
Let's get back to the calls, 
Jay. 

1047
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,720
What do we got? 
Got our boy. 

1048
00:53:38,720 --> 00:53:43,840
John from Fort Hood, OK has my. 
Has my adversary called in yet, 

1049
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,880
Tony? 
No, he is not all. 

1050
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,760
Right, Tony, the the. 
The invites out there, buddy. 

1051
00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:51,960
John, is he he? 
He's ready to roll. 

1052
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:52,920
What's going on there? 
John? 

1053
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:54,960
How are you? 
Hey, what's going on? 

1054
00:53:55,240 --> 00:53:58,440
BT how are you doing today? 
I'm good, man. 

1055
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,680
What's happening? 
Not much. 

1056
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,480
I just wanted. 
To follow up on my call from 

1057
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:07,120
last week on the whole Malik 
Neighbors thing with him 

1058
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:12,400
criticizing the draft picks. 
Yeah, so. 

1059
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:17,000
Even though I'm still not happy 
about what he did, I got to say 

1060
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,680
the way John Harbaugh handled 
that in the media, I thought was

1061
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:26,520
like masterful. 
And, and it is silence, the 

1062
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:30,400
media silence fans like myself, 
I'm just like, I was blown away 

1063
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,000
at how like he handled that 
situation. 

1064
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:37,120
And I guess just after years of 
not having competent leadership 

1065
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,200
at that head coaching position, 
like it's just really refreshing

1066
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,280
to see. 
I thought he was. 

1067
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,960
Really good. 
I I do agree with that, John, I 

1068
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:47,680
thought, listen, there's two 
aspects, especially here that's 

1069
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,440
a little different in football. 
Like Aaron Boone meets the media

1070
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,200
twice every single day. 
Mendoza meets the media twice 

1071
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,880
every single day. 
Mike Brown, you know, the NBA 

1072
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:58,120
coaches 82 games. 
You meet the media a lot. 

1073
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,280
Football, it's a little 
different. 

1074
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,360
Obviously going to talk after a 
game, you're going to do the 

1075
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,440
midweek press conference and 
that's kind of it unless unless 

1076
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,280
you do like a coaches show, 
which kind of got away. 

1077
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:10,160
Like if you remember, like, you 
know, Eli was always on Mike 

1078
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,840
Francesa or Parcells or 
Coughlin, you know, I know Rex 

1079
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,040
was on ESPN for years, Herm as 
well. 

1080
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,360
So that's kind of gone away 
because those guys would get big

1081
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:20,280
money. 
They'd get like $100,000 to come

1082
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,480
on and talk basically, you know,
10 minutes a week, which at this

1083
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,160
point is a waste of money 
anyway. 

1084
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,440
The best ones, forget about like
the tactics and the schematics 

1085
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,320
and the resume. 
The most effective New York 

1086
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,160
leaders. 
There's two aspects to it, 

1087
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:38,200
because there's a lot of noise 
here, as you know #1 can you 

1088
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,760
avoid creating a story? 
That's one aspect. 

1089
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:46,520
And then #2 are you able to 
quickly and effectively defuse a

1090
00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,520
story? 
And I think I'm going to get 

1091
00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,960
back to Boone for a minute. 
I think one of Aaron Boone's 

1092
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:55,080
greatest characteristics is 
being able to defuse stories. 

1093
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,320
I think he's great at that. 
Anytime there's just a little 

1094
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:02,200
tiny window, a little door 
slightly ajar for a little story

1095
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,560
to become a big one. 
I think Boone handles it 

1096
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,600
amazingly. 
And I think that's one of the 

1097
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,080
reasons why the Yankees love 
him. 

1098
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:09,680
All right. 
And so I'm with you. 

1099
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:11,600
Just a big picture. 
I wanted to give you a little 

1100
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,120
bit backdrop there. 
I thought what Harbaugh said was

1101
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,200
awesome. 
It shows control. 

1102
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,040
It shows an understanding of the
modern athlete. 

1103
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,320
He's not obtuse. 
Great leadership. 

1104
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:22,320
He nailed it. 
Money. 

1105
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:23,760
That's why the Giants are going 
to be good again. 

1106
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,920
Absolutely so. 
Speaking on that, so my question

1107
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,880
is when you look at the 
division, you see how the 

1108
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,280
Cowboys, I think most people 
would say they're, you know, 

1109
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,600
trending downward. 
The Eagles look like they're a 

1110
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,600
little bit in chaos right now. 
So when you add up the free 

1111
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:43,040
agency moves, what the Giants 
did in the draft, I'm not 

1112
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:46,360
expecting you to say Super Bowl,
but Are you ready to say 

1113
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:51,400
playoffs with? 
Jacks, my man, look at them, 

1114
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,800
look at them. 
I mean, now, now we're talking 

1115
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,200
my language there. 
I was reading a text there 

1116
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,920
because I was trying to finalize
when Joe B's coming on the show.

1117
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:00,560
But I heard you. 
Absolutely. 

1118
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,840
Thank you very much there, John.
Shout out to you and and all the

1119
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:05,480
women, all the men and women 
over in Fort Hood. 

1120
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,720
Thank you very much for that. 
Joe B will be on the show on 

1121
00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:09,960
Wednesday. 
All right. 

1122
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:15,840
And to be totally honest with 
you, you know, I, I, I, I want 

1123
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,120
the Mets malaise to continue 
because I want vintage Joe. 

1124
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,440
Like imagine if like the Mets 
sweep over the weekend and 

1125
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,840
they've got this new energy. 
Like I want unhinged Joe. 

1126
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:27,720
That's what I want. 
So Joe B is coming up on 

1127
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:28,320
Wednesday. 
There you go. 

1128
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:30,520
That would be a lot of fun. 
What else? 

1129
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:33,080
OK, let me let me do this here. 
We'll get back to the calls in a

1130
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:36,040
minute. 
So I had Michael Kay on the show

1131
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:38,160
yesterday, right? 
I want to play back two things 

1132
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,280
for you. 
And and then react to him a 

1133
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:42,320
little bit. 
And by the way, if you missed 

1134
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,320
the entire spot, Mike was on, 
what about 3540 minutes 

1135
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,560
yesterday there, Jay? 
Yeah, it was like 37. 

1136
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,840
I think OK, I split. 
Exactly. 

1137
00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:52,160
So I split the difference. 
I said 354037. 

1138
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,800
Boom, right, right between. 
So if you missed it, go check it

1139
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:56,720
out. 
It's on the channel. 

1140
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,120
It was great. 
We had a lot of different stuff.

1141
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,080
Like the last time I had Michael
on it was basically two hours of

1142
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,400
of his life. 
And you know, this was just pure

1143
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,240
early state of the Yankees, 
right. 

1144
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:11,040
So the first thing was on how he
believes and what he believes 

1145
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:17,280
the Yankees will do with Volpe. 
Wait until. 

1146
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:21,400
They a couple of games and 
Caballero gives you an O for 15 

1147
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:26,320
because, you know, Yankee fans, 
a lot of them are just waiting. 

1148
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,280
They're lying in wait for Volpe 
to mess up and he does not need 

1149
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,760
that pressure. 
And I'm not one of those people,

1150
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:37,440
and I don't know if you are. 
I don't buy into that nonsense. 

1151
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,120
You don't lose your job because 
of injury. 

1152
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,240
Because if that was the case, 
you know, Drew Bledsoe would 

1153
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:43,640
have been the quarterback of the
Patriots. 

1154
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:46,760
You do lose jobs because of 
injury if somebody plays better 

1155
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,000
than you. 
I think that the thing that has 

1156
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,960
really stunned the Yankees is 
how good Caballero has been 

1157
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:57,800
defensively. 
He's +6 plus 6 defensive run 

1158
00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,320
save. 
You know where that is in 

1159
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:02,040
baseball. 
That's best of all shortstops in

1160
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,440
baseball. 
He overtook Bobby with Junior, 

1161
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:06,120
who's a reigning Gold Glove 
winner. 

1162
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:11,480
He's got a very good arm. 
He's got extraordinary range and

1163
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,800
he's got he's got a quick twitch
motor. 

1164
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:19,120
So what I would do, I would wait
and have Anthony wait until 

1165
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,160
something goes awry. 
Not that you're rooting for it 

1166
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:25,320
to go awry. 
And if it never goes awry, well,

1167
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,680
then they got a tough decision. 
I don't know what the Yankees 

1168
00:59:28,680 --> 00:59:32,360
are thinking. 
Brian had said at the beginning 

1169
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:35,400
of the year the last time he 
spoke was that when when Volpe 

1170
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:36,920
comes up, he's going to be the 
starting shorts. 

1171
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:38,400
All right, good stuff right 
there. 

1172
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:41,400
So again, if you guys missed. 
It that's just one of the issues

1173
00:59:41,400 --> 00:59:43,120
that we, one of the items we had
with Michael. 

1174
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:45,600
Listen, I obviously understand 
what Michael saying. 

1175
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,840
I don't, I don't agree. 
I don't really see it that way. 

1176
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,320
The Bledsoe. 
That's that's certainly a great 

1177
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,440
example, You know, and, and we, 
we, we from Lou Gehrig, of 

1178
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,960
course, and we know how, how, 
how Lou took over. 

1179
00:59:56,640 --> 01:00:01,320
But I I kind of see it a little 
differently here because here's 

1180
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,520
the risk of and I think the 
Yankees will call him up rather 

1181
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:07,800
than not, but we'll see. 
But right now Volpe is swinging 

1182
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,080
the bat pretty well, all right. 
He's bringing the bat pretty 

1183
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:13,280
well down the minor. 
So if you wait and you ride out 

1184
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,840
this Caballero hot streak and I 
didn't even realize that this 

1185
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,160
defensive run save was that 
high. 

1186
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,240
I know he's the eye test has 
told me he's played very well, 

1187
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,000
but I did not even know that's a
good stat there by Michael. 

1188
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,560
And it does validate what you 
know, what, what some people 

1189
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,040
like Michael are thinking. 
I just happen to have a 

1190
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:31,360
different thought because if you
keep Volpe in the minors, and 

1191
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,640
there's also an expiration on 
that based on Major League 

1192
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,560
tenure and like an X amount of 
window, eventually he's got to 

1193
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:38,040
he's got to get called up, 
right? 

1194
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:42,800
But if you don't do it now, 
well, you know, what happens if 

1195
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,920
Volpe goes in and it's going to 
happen, you know, one for 12 in 

1196
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:50,160
the minors and you know, he gets
a little cold, he strikes out a 

1197
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,520
little bit, has a bad week and 
Caballero cools off a little 

1198
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,840
bit. 
Would you then call up Volpe at 

1199
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:57,080
that point when he's not 
hitting? 

1200
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,000
See, to me, I think the move is 
this. 

1201
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:02,280
I think you call them up whether
it's today or even if you want 

1202
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:03,440
to give it the weekend, that's 
fine. 

1203
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:04,960
You call them up within the 
next. 

1204
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,560
And this is what I think will 
actually happen. 

1205
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,680
You call them up within the next
couple of days. 

1206
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,520
You run them out there right 
away. 

1207
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:14,240
But the first game that 
Caballero plays you apart me. 

1208
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:18,000
The first game that Volpe plays 
back, you also play Caballero. 

1209
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,720
You reward him whether you sit 
down McMahon, you know, whether 

1210
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:25,600
you you want to give Judge maybe
another DH day, throw him out 

1211
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,120
there in right field. 
I don't think he would play 

1212
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,000
second base for Jazz, who's 
starting to hit a little bit 

1213
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:30,800
here. 
But I think that there's a way 

1214
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,480
to navigate that where you ease 
Volpe in and reward him for #1 

1215
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,120
being healthy and being the 
starting shortstop before he got

1216
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,440
hurt last year. 
You know, going into the 

1217
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,200
offseason with the shoulder 
surgery, but also acknowledging 

1218
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:44,920
that he's swinging the bat 
pretty well in the minors. 

1219
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,440
And you're also doing right by 
by a player who's riding a hot 

1220
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:49,840
streak at this point in 
Caballero. 

1221
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:53,440
But I also think that the 
Yankees ceiling, like their 

1222
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:56,400
optimal, whatever that version 
is going to be this year, is 

1223
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:00,200
going to come not with Caballero
playing every single day. 

1224
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:03,520
It's Caballero bouncing around 
and being a super sub. 

1225
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,360
That's just my opinion. 
But I wanted to play that from 

1226
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:09,280
yesterday's show with Michael. 
All right #2 and to me, this is 

1227
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:11,800
of even greater significance. 
And you're beginning to. 

1228
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,680
There was some evidence 
beginning to mount, I'd say 

1229
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:18,200
about two weeks ago. 
I just started to notice this 

1230
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,520
year and big picture, like big 
picture. 

1231
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,360
We talked about how much is 
house spent cash been building 

1232
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,640
the team, Boone's run as 
manager. 

1233
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,440
But organizationally, I think 
that there's been too much 

1234
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:35,320
acceptance of either mediocre 
play or straight up bad play. 

1235
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:39,320
And as Michael tells us here, 
the urgency, it's different this

1236
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,040
year. 
I just think there's a 

1237
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,080
ruthlessness to. 
The way they are running this 

1238
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:47,440
team and I think that's good. 
I think that's positive because 

1239
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:49,880
they look at this team that's 
good, they think this team is 

1240
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,160
good enough to win the World 
Series, and they're not letting 

1241
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:54,760
feelings or emotions get in the 
way of it. 

1242
01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:56,800
They're just not. 
I think it's really good. 

1243
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:58,480
I also think it's long. 
Overdue. 

1244
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,760
I mean, it's what the Yankees 
always used to do, which is what

1245
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:06,360
has really, you know, led to a 
lot of resentment or animosity 

1246
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,480
or or negative energy toward the
Yankees have been built these 

1247
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,800
last X amount of years. 
Like the one thing when people 

1248
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:13,840
say Howell doesn't want to win, 
that's bullshit. 

1249
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,440
It's unfair, it's ridiculous. 
He spends a lot of money. 

1250
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:19,040
He also was only worth about 1.6
billion. 

1251
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:20,440
Some of these other guys are 
worth 20. 

1252
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:24,840
Bill all right, so there you go.
If you missed it, it was great. 

1253
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,520
Kay brought the goods. 
He was phenomenal. 

1254
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,360
So go check it on the channel. 
Numbers are good. 

1255
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:31,000
It's it's it's a well viewed 
video. 

1256
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,480
So I really appreciate Mike 
hopping on and as I told you the

1257
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,480
other day, like I was trying to 
get Michael on the show and I 

1258
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:38,400
and I knew he would come on. 
I just had a you know, figure 

1259
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:43,200
when and I mean the guy they get
to Texas the first game when 

1260
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:45,920
lighter pitched. 
So the Ming is his first game 

1261
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,960
back to the minors. 
And so that was that. 

1262
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:50,440
Tuesday. 
Let me see, Tuesday, Wednesday, 

1263
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:51,880
Thursday. 
They were, they were. 

1264
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,560
No, I guess it was Monday, 
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. 

1265
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:56,840
They were off yesterday. 
Yeah, today's Friday. 

1266
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,480
So he's like, hey, I could come 
on Monday night when I get back 

1267
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:01,800
to the hotel after the game and 
we we could record it. 

1268
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,040
I'm like, dude, you did your 
radio show. 

1269
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:06,400
You called it a Yankee game. 
The last thing you need to do is

1270
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,360
get race back to the hotel to 
come and chat with me. 

1271
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:12,400
And then we wound up figuring 
out that yesterday worked better

1272
01:04:12,400 --> 01:04:13,880
for him. 
So it was great. 

1273
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:15,960
I love having him on. 
I'll have him on a few more 

1274
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:17,640
times during the summer for 
sure. 

1275
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:19,960
A lot of fun with that. 
All right, let me get back to 

1276
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:21,760
the the chats here. 
We'll get back to the calls. 

1277
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:26,080
Yeah, it if you had to create. 
Oh, wow, this is an interesting 

1278
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:27,760
one. 
It is in the rules Friday, so 

1279
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,440
you guys could ask me anything. 
Now when I say anything, I kind 

1280
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,240
of mean anything, although you 
know, it's going to be a little 

1281
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,280
bit of a limit just so I don't 
get in trouble with certain 

1282
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:37,760
things. 
But no rules Friday. 

1283
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,480
Let's have fun major under score
league. 

1284
01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:42,600
We always have fun under score 
99. 

1285
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,960
If you had to create an NBA team
of all of all time players from 

1286
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:48,200
the city, who would be on that 
team? 

1287
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:53,320
And for no rules Friday, what do
you think happens to Tony at the

1288
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,280
end of The Sopranos? 
All right, my all time. 

1289
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,800
I'm going to have to give that a
little bit of thought now. 

1290
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:01,800
I think Tony was killed. 
That's number one. 

1291
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:02,920
Let me just get that out of the 
way. 

1292
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,320
I think Tony was killed and 
they've talked about, there's 

1293
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:06,720
been so many theories about 
this. 

1294
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:08,040
Chase has talked about it a 
little bit. 

1295
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,840
I think that Tony was whacked, 
unfortunately, right in front of

1296
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:15,720
his family, right in the diner 
with Journey playing, you know, 

1297
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,520
because there was such a a deep 
connection. 

1298
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:23,600
He was such a flawed human being
and he was like Tony was like, I

1299
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:27,080
mean, he was psychopath really, 
but he had so much good in him 

1300
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:29,640
too. 
There was such a connection from

1301
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,920
the audience. 
David Chase didn't want to show 

1302
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,680
you him taking a bullet to the 
skull, which I which I 

1303
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,240
appreciate it, right. 
So that's how I believe it ended

1304
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:43,280
my all time New York City team. 
All right, Jeez. 

1305
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:48,120
I mean, obviously little 
Alcindor is first. 

1306
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:56,200
He's at the five. 
I'm going to put Connie Hawkins 

1307
01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:01,600
on that team. 
I'm going to put Chris Mullen on

1308
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:03,800
that team. 
God, I'm going to miss so many 

1309
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:04,800
names. 
This is hard. 

1310
01:06:06,280 --> 01:06:10,920
My point guard, I mean, Mark 
Jackson's my all time favorite. 

1311
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:14,240
Rod Strickland was a beast. 
I mean, Pearl Washington Chase. 

1312
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,560
I'm going to go Nate Archibald. 
I'm going to go a little Nate. 

1313
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:19,040
I'm going to a little Nate dog 
here. 

1314
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:25,800
And then at the 2, I could even 
put Mullen at the 2. 

1315
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:34,000
Shit, I think I've got to get 
Lenny Wilkins on this team. 

1316
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,560
I think if I don't, my dad's 
going to get pissed like Lenny 

1317
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:41,520
Wilkins. 
Marbury was. 

1318
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:46,760
I mean, Marbury in high school 
was insane, insane. 

1319
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:48,640
So I'll go with that. 
I'll go. 

1320
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,760
I'll go with Nate. 
And then I gave you Lou 

1321
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:54,520
Alcindor, Molly, Connie Hawkins.
If I did this in a week, I'm 

1322
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:56,880
sure I'd have some. 
I didn't, I didn't prepare for 

1323
01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:58,440
this. 
I mean, I don't really need to 

1324
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,200
because this is kind of top of 
mind stuff, which I love. 

1325
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:02,840
I'll go with that. 
I'll go. 

1326
01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:04,880
You know, it's funny too. 
I tweeted this last night during

1327
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:06,960
the Knick game and it just just 
hit me. 

1328
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:13,640
So in the 4th grade, my CYO 
team, right, We played this 

1329
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,280
team, St. 
Thomas More from Breezy Point, 

1330
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:20,960
right? 
And they came in and they, they 

1331
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,560
basically pulled the Knicks 
Hawks on us where they pressed 

1332
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:28,640
us and they trapped us and we 
could not, and we were pretty 

1333
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,320
good. 
We could not even advance the 

1334
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:34,440
ball past half court. 
Like it was the first. 

1335
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:37,400
If you play basketball, there's 
always that first time where 

1336
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:40,200
you're like, whoa, I, I, I can't
do this. 

1337
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:41,680
And I wasn't the point guard, 
thank God. 

1338
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,160
But I mean, I wasn't guard 
forward. 

1339
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,160
So I'm kind of responsible for 
helping out. 

1340
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:48,480
No, no chance. 
None of us. 

1341
01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,800
My daddy told me later on he's 
and they beat us and we were 

1342
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:55,160
friendly with them. 
Like I, I, I played baseball a 

1343
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:58,320
lot of I played on their team. 
I played with like great guys, 

1344
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:02,480
great guys and great players. 
But at that point, my dad's like

1345
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:06,000
this will never happen again. 
He goes out and he gets another 

1346
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,280
point guard. 
I think we lost. 

1347
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:09,640
I think it was 70 to 20, 
something like that. 

1348
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,040
And there were No 3 point shots 
back then. 

1349
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,960
So when I when you score 70 ish 
points in the CYO game, it's 

1350
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:18,080
literally all right, Maybe we 
make a bucket, pick it up full 

1351
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,160
courts, steal layup. 
You know, all right, we get it 

1352
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,000
to steal layup. 
I mean, it's just a layup line. 

1353
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,040
And my dad never happened it 
again. 

1354
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,240
And I just mentioned Marbury and
it triggered this, right, 

1355
01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:30,120
because that's kind of what the 
Knicks looked like last night 

1356
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:31,520
with the Hawks. 
I mean, I felt like I was 

1357
01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:34,080
watching my 4th grade, you know,
beat down against St. 

1358
01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,319
Thomas More. 
He's like, I got to get a point 

1359
01:08:36,319 --> 01:08:38,120
guard. 
He, the kid who wound up, who 

1360
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,279
wound up playing point guard for
us for the next, I don't know, 5

1361
01:08:41,279 --> 01:08:45,439
or 6 years, was actually Stephon
Marbury's backup at Lincoln. 

1362
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:49,920
Yeah, it was wild. 
Little Jewish kid Dennis 

1363
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,000
Edelman. 
Dennis, if you're out there, 

1364
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:53,560
man, I haven't seen you in 
forever. 

1365
01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,520
Just phenomenal man. 
Knew the game like I mean, next 

1366
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,399
level brilliant, could shoot 
calm under pressure, can handle 

1367
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:03,439
and then the entire dynamics of 
our team change. 

1368
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,960
But he didn't get much run 
because Marbury was the was the 

1369
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:07,560
guy. 
He was on that Lincoln team with

1370
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:08,520
Marbury. 
How about that? 

1371
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,479
That's so funny, yeah. 
Yeah. 

1372
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,240
And I felt like that's. 
That's what last night felt like

1373
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:17,040
watching the Knicks here. 
No rules Friday. 

1374
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:23,640
Matthew Fanador. 
Matthew Fanador, There you go. 

1375
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:25,720
All right, no rules Friday top 
five. 

1376
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,040
Wrestlers. 
His Hulk Warrior. 

1377
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,640
I was not a Warrior fan at all. 
Sting did nothing for me. 

1378
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:32,920
Legion of Dome was pretty muddy 
right there. 

1379
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,200
What am I see? 
It's funny. 

1380
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:38,479
I look at my wrestlers and I was
always more about the 

1381
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:40,520
microphone. 
I mean, first let me just put 

1382
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:41,720
Hulk number one. 
I mean, come on. 

1383
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,920
When Hulk comes out, I told you 
I used to take my dad's T-shirts

1384
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,680
and put a little hole in them 
and RIP the T-shirt off coming 

1385
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:51,160
down my hallway playing the old 
WWE record. 

1386
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,080
I am a real American, like an 
absolute lunatic. 

1387
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:58,040
And so Hulk one. 
But most of the other guys were 

1388
01:09:58,280 --> 01:09:59,520
based on what they would do with
the mic. 

1389
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:01,120
I'll be on the with the 
microphone. 

1390
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:04,640
Piper loved right, which is 
interesting because those you 

1391
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,200
know, Hulk and Piper had that 
big feud. 

1392
01:10:06,440 --> 01:10:10,080
But I loved Piper, man. 
He was just he was vicious. 

1393
01:10:10,480 --> 01:10:13,520
I love the macho man. 
You know, Miss Elizabeth showing

1394
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,760
up on the scene certainly didn't
hurt with the sequin dresses and

1395
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,920
the heels. 
Oh, Elizabeth God, Macho man was

1396
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,760
he was a great wrestler and he 
was great on the mic. 

1397
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:24,960
Those are non negotiable top 
three. 

1398
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:27,800
I was a big Jake the snake 
Roberts guy. 

1399
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,320
I love Jake, so I'm going to put
Jake up there. 

1400
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:32,720
You can see that I'm obviously 
skewed old school. 

1401
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:38,120
You know, I'm trying to think 
from other affiliations, whether

1402
01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:40,960
it's a flair. 
I did like the the road 

1403
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,240
Warriors. 
You know, they were great coming

1404
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,600
into the ring to to Iron Maiden,
but no to Black Sabbath. 

1405
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,560
But no, not not them. 
The fifth one. 

1406
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:54,440
Jeez, I'm having a rough time 
with Hulk, Piper, Macho, Jake 

1407
01:10:54,440 --> 01:10:58,400
the Snake. 
I mean, it's not Andre. 

1408
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:00,920
I mean, Andre was actually 
incredibly boring to watch 

1409
01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,120
wrestle, but he used to skip 
maybe you know, one of my early 

1410
01:11:04,120 --> 01:11:05,840
favorites. 
And then I kind of cooled on him

1411
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,160
once, once Jimmy Snook, once 
Roddy Piper took his soul. 

1412
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,200
Maybe Jimmy Snuka. 
Like that's when I first started

1413
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:13,680
watching wrestling with my 
grandma. 

1414
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,280
Maybe Jimmy Snuka. 
I mean, Superfly. 

1415
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:19,320
He was always bloodied. 
He was absolutely yoked. 

1416
01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,040
That was promos were terrible, 
but I mean him climbing to the 

1417
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,640
top. 
I guess I'll give Snuka some 

1418
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:24,840
love there. 
I'm going to go with that. 

1419
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:26,680
All right, What else we got 
there? 

1420
01:11:27,440 --> 01:11:29,000
Let's get back to the phones 
here. 

1421
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:32,680
Jay Rod, who's up next? 
We've got our friend Frank in. 

1422
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,640
Monroe, Frankie. 
Frankie, What's going on, man? 

1423
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:38,360
What's? 
Up BT We're all over the board 

1424
01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,560
this morning. 
Brother, it's a no rules Friday 

1425
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:43,200
man Got you. 
So so like in the. 

1426
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,200
In the first quarter last night,
my daughter text me. 

1427
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,160
She says, dad, the Knicks are up
41. 

1428
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:52,800
So So I texted her back. 
I said I know I'm watching. 

1429
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,200
I said I've never seen anything 
like this. 

1430
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,400
So then I come downstairs and. 
My stepson. 

1431
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:02,560
Is watching the game in the 
kitchen and he goes, I've never 

1432
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:06,240
seen anything like this. 
I said, dude, I got 40 years on 

1433
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,840
you, bro, and I've never seen 
anything like this. 

1434
01:12:09,440 --> 01:12:12,320
You know, it was like amazing, 
amazing to watch. 

1435
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:15,240
But now, now let me go back to 
what you were saying. 

1436
01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:18,120
Like you forgot Bernard King, 
dude, by the way, you know, 

1437
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:23,600
dude, geez, that he, he's my 
number one guy. 

1438
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,360
I'm dead and you left him out of
your top five. 

1439
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:27,480
I'm like what? 
Happened. 

1440
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:28,600
You know what time frame, hold 
on. 

1441
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,200
I got to at least defend. 
Myself, hold on first I got a 

1442
01:12:31,200 --> 01:12:35,160
framed and signed Bernard King 
jersey in my man cave and I'm 

1443
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,000
looking at a framed and signed, 
you know, little, you know, 2 BT

1444
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:39,360
Bernard King, you know, in my 
off. 

1445
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,040
So I mean he I, he was my first 
favorite thing that is that's 

1446
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,240
horrendous out of me. 
He's all forgiven. 

1447
01:12:45,400 --> 01:12:47,280
It was a tough call 'cause he 
put, he put. 

1448
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,120
You on the spot, like right 
away, yeah, yeah, that's a bad 

1449
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:51,680
job by me. 
He's my. 

1450
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,320
He's my main guy, you know, and 
and and. 

1451
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:58,280
I'm I'm a, I'm a, I'm a Mark 
Jackson point guard guy and 

1452
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:01,000
Chris Mullen, like I'm 65 years 
old. 

1453
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,920
So I go back a little bit, you 
know, So yeah, yeah, I've seen 

1454
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:06,040
and. 
Bernard King. 

1455
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:08,440
Against Detroit, dude. 
Oh, you know what I'm saying? 

1456
01:13:08,440 --> 01:13:12,000
The broken fingers. 
The 43 points a game on public 

1457
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:14,880
Celtics, too. 
Yeah, he he, he, he was great. 

1458
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:16,400
Now. 
Now I want to go back to what 

1459
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:18,240
you said before. 
You were talking a little bit 

1460
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:23,800
about the Yankees and watching 
that the 01 World Series and I'm

1461
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:27,160
going to tell you a quick story.
I was standing in front of my I 

1462
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,440
watch games by myself and I got 
two brothers and 1Y fans. 

1463
01:13:30,440 --> 01:13:33,760
I can't watch Yankee game 
playoff games with other people.

1464
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:35,400
I got to go by. 
Myself, I got you. 

1465
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,720
I respect that I'm. 
Standing in front of the. 

1466
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:41,200
TV with with the remote, the 
ball hits the bat. 

1467
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,120
I didn't even see it hit the 
dirt and the TV was off. 

1468
01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:49,280
That was the most heartbreaking 
like ending to a game. 

1469
01:13:49,480 --> 01:13:51,520
And I was at the Mr. November 
game. 

1470
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:54,480
I was at that. 
I was I was at that World 

1471
01:13:54,480 --> 01:13:57,320
Series. 
I at the other hit the home run.

1472
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:00,240
You know, 12. 
O1, you know, and I was at 

1473
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:04,040
Mattingly's first playoff game. 
I've seen so many big. 

1474
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:07,920
Games in that stadium. 
And and I just, you know, last 

1475
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:10,360
night, it's just so so it all 
takes takes me back to last 

1476
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:12,360
night's Knick game. 
I've never seen anything like 

1477
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:15,280
it, bro. 
And I want to I want to kind. 

1478
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:17,000
Of take. 
A step back a little bit. 

1479
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,400
I don't want to get too excited.
Let's take two days off, let's 

1480
01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,520
rest a little bit. 
We ain't going to, we ain't 

1481
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,840
going to go up 41 on the next 
opponent like you don't have to 

1482
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:28,200
as long as you're up by 1 when 
it's. 

1483
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,640
All said, who cares? 
And by the way, Frank, no. 

1484
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,160
Today is still the day to. 
Enjoy it and and thank you for 

1485
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:34,800
the call Frank. 
I appreciate you reaching out. 

1486
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:36,200
Enjoy it. 
Have a great weekend, man. 

1487
01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:39,080
No, you can absolutely let this 
linger. 

1488
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:42,040
I mean, this feeling you'll 
never have that I don't think 

1489
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:45,560
that kind of a feeling again. 
I mean now, like if you win by 

1490
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:47,720
35 in a closeout game in the 
next round. 

1491
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:49,960
OK, but just the historical 
context. 

1492
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:53,600
It's just it's historical stuff.
So but no, today's the day. 

1493
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:55,400
Let's go. 
I mean be be drunk on 

1494
01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:57,440
excitement. 
Why the be drunk on the 

1495
01:14:57,440 --> 01:14:59,400
possibilities of this next 
season? 

1496
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:03,880
Anthony OU B12 what up And hey, 
BT what's your take on what 

1497
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:07,960
would count as a non failure 
season record wise for The Jets 

1498
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:09,920
and the Giants? 
Yeah, this is the usually, 

1499
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,600
listen, if this was Monday 
through Thursday, we'd be more 

1500
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,160
on content, more on point. 
But the point of a no rules 

1501
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,800
Friday is for you guys to get 
some stuff out that you want to 

1502
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:22,480
get out. 
So listen, I can I can attach a 

1503
01:15:22,480 --> 01:15:26,160
win total to it, or I could just
give you like the context. 

1504
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:29,240
I always have to see the 
schedule. 

1505
01:15:29,280 --> 01:15:31,960
You know, I've got to see that I
know who both teams are playing.

1506
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:35,000
But I mean, just in terms of how
it lines up, you know, it 

1507
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,080
doesn't matter who you play. 
It matters when you play them. 

1508
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:38,920
If their quarterbacks hurt, 
there's so many variables. 

1509
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:42,680
So it's very hard to do this. 
But for The Jets, I'm not going 

1510
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:46,280
to give you a record. 
I'm going to give you I I want 

1511
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:51,680
to see the offense. 
I want to see the offense be I 

1512
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,120
don't want to go nuts here, man.
Speed of being, you know, drunk 

1513
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:57,480
unhappiness is still drunk 
unhappiness for The Jets draft 

1514
01:15:57,480 --> 01:16:00,200
here. 
I want to see The Jets be a top 

1515
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:07,280
top. 
I want to see The Jets. 

1516
01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:10,840
I just, I almost can't say it 
because it'll sound so 

1517
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:12,560
outlandish after what we've 
watched. 

1518
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:15,080
Screw it. 
I want to see The Jets be a top 

1519
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,040
twelve offense next year in 
points per game. 

1520
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,640
If I'm going to sit here and 
evaluate the draft and pump up 

1521
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,360
The Jets offensive line and tell
you guys why. 

1522
01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:26,000
I thought many of you were 
missing the mark with Geno Smith

1523
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:27,880
dumping on him just for one 
year. 

1524
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:29,400
I'm not saying he's the big 
picture long term. 

1525
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,040
He's not going to be Darnold 
with the Super Bowl. 

1526
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,720
I'm not saying that. 
But like Geno is a highly 

1527
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,840
competent quarterback with 
weapons who is going to hit open

1528
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,080
targets. 
And when you got Garrett Wilson 

1529
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:43,480
and he got Breece Hall and you 
got Sadiq and you got Cooper and

1530
01:16:43,480 --> 01:16:47,160
you've got AD Mitchell for those
five guys, by the way, run 4 sub

1531
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:50,600
4 or 40s, you know, and you got 
a running game in addition to 

1532
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,880
Brees, you got Braylon Allen and
Isaiah Davis and you got Frank 

1533
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:55,480
Reich. 
Like I'm not sitting here saying

1534
01:16:55,480 --> 01:16:59,480
top five, but you know, I mean, 
Kent, top twelve offense now. 

1535
01:16:59,480 --> 01:17:01,120
I'm still worried about the 
defense. 

1536
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:03,520
So even though I think it's 
going to be better because 

1537
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,560
they're going to stop the run 
better, they address that 

1538
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:09,320
interiorly. 
Really in terms of what kind of 

1539
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:12,880
season The Jets have, the two 
keys very well might be Bailey 

1540
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:15,520
and Fitzpatrick. 
You know, if Bailey and and I 

1541
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,160
understand the pick, I wanted 
The Jets to trade out. 

1542
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:20,200
You got to have somebody to 
trade with before you could do 

1543
01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,360
it. 
I didn't want Reese. 

1544
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:25,280
I wasn't, you know, overly 
enabled with the prospects of 

1545
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:27,480
drafting Bailey before the 
draft, even though I thought 

1546
01:17:27,480 --> 01:17:30,520
that they would draft Bailey. 
But if you know, if he gives you

1547
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:35,600
3 1/2 sacks versus 8 1/2 or 9, 
like if he has if he's the real 

1548
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:38,960
deal and Fitzpatrick still has 
juice, which I think he does. 

1549
01:17:40,440 --> 01:17:43,040
I mean, you tell me The Jets 
can't squeeze out at 8-9 wins. 

1550
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:44,800
I mean, I I would think that 
they could. 

1551
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:49,160
And then from a giant 
perspective, you know, I I 

1552
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:50,800
really do need to see neighbors 
healthy. 

1553
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:53,480
I know he'll eventually be 
healthy, but at what point is he

1554
01:17:53,480 --> 01:17:54,920
back to being a league 
neighbors? 

1555
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:58,040
I want to see Cam scataboo 
Giants online will be better. 

1556
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,720
You know, I love Jackson Dart. 
You you picked up the tight end 

1557
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:02,720
likely. 
You know, the tight end room is 

1558
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:06,000
pretty good. 
You know, you're going to miss 

1559
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,040
Dex, but I love the trade there.
Yeah, my trade came on 

1560
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,320
Thibodeau. 
I would You're not going to 

1561
01:18:11,320 --> 01:18:15,280
you're not going to extend him. 
I mean, let me put it this way. 

1562
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:21,600
Is there a chance that both The 
Jets and the Giants win at least

1563
01:18:21,640 --> 01:18:24,960
eight games and maybe one of the
two have a winning record? 

1564
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,840
Yeah, I believe that there is. 
So maybe that's not a direct 

1565
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,040
tangible, you know, this that 
number. 

1566
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:34,640
But I for the first time, I can 
promise you this when my kids 

1567
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:36,440
are getting ready to go and 
because I don't walk with them 

1568
01:18:36,440 --> 01:18:37,760
anymore, they were a little bit 
too old for that. 

1569
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:41,440
But when the kids start walking 
for, you know, Halloween trick 

1570
01:18:41,440 --> 01:18:44,840
or treating, The Jets season 
won't be over and I don't think 

1571
01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:46,280
the Giants season will be over 
either. 

1572
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaking of trick or treat, you 
know, it's funny how fast things

1573
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:51,120
change. 
The first four. 

1574
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:54,080
We have pictures, Jay. 
Let me see if I can pull this. 

1575
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,320
Can I find this? 
We have pictures. 

1576
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:02,040
A lot of families do this right 
Where, where you, you it's going

1577
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:05,080
to take forever to find, but 
maybe I can find it where you 

1578
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,720
you get dressed up as a family 
like you kind of do, like my my 

1579
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,200
dad didn't get my dad didn't 
even walk with me once trick or 

1580
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:11,520
treating. 
It's just dad's didn't do that 

1581
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:16,280
back then. 
The the new trend here, you 

1582
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,640
know, X amount of years is that 
you kind of do like a family 

1583
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,200
theme, right? 
I got to find this one picture. 

1584
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,760
Hold on. 
And we did it for the first four

1585
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:27,040
years and we did some crazy 
stuff, man. 

1586
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:30,000
We absolutely crushed it. 
I'm just trying to go through my

1587
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,720
phone going back to the the 
previous Halloweens here. 

1588
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:33,840
Give me a second. 
I can't find it. 

1589
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:35,760
I won't. 
I won't give it a ton of time 

1590
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:37,880
here. 
If you want to pop, pop up 

1591
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,520
another chat, go for it. 
I got to show you this, man. 

1592
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:42,520
This stuff is incredible. 
Yeah. 

1593
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,640
All right. 
From Major League. 99 You 

1594
01:19:45,720 --> 01:19:50,360
thought of doing polls like you 
see on social Med? 

1595
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:52,400
I guess that's another channel. 
So yeah. 

1596
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:54,840
What was your thought on that 
poll yesterday? 

1597
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,040
BT Oh, on the polls. 
On the polls. 

1598
01:19:57,560 --> 01:19:59,720
Well, can you help me out? 
I need some information. 

1599
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:04,840
How many, how many people did 
we, how many people actually 

1600
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:07,800
answered the answer the poll? 
I think it was probably a good 

1601
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,160
30 to 40. 
Something that's it. 

1602
01:20:10,440 --> 01:20:11,880
Yeah. 
I mean, that sucks. 

1603
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:14,880
Can't be having that found it 
polls. 

1604
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:17,280
Found it all. 
Right, all right. 

1605
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:21,040
So this is amazing. 
All right, So the first year, 

1606
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:24,040
this is incredible. 
So my daughter wasn't born yet. 

1607
01:20:24,040 --> 01:20:28,960
This is just myself, my wife and
my little guy who was probably 

1608
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:32,080
10 months old at this point. 
Wait, pull it. 

1609
01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:34,520
No way. 
Look at the Star Wars theme. 

1610
01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:36,880
That's legit. 
Oh, yeah, no, we don't mess 

1611
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:38,640
around sick. 
That's why. 

1612
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:40,080
That's the only reason I'm 
pulling this out. 

1613
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,040
How sick is that? 
He was little Yoda, right? 

1614
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,720
That is so sick. 
That's number one. 

1615
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:50,080
Then the next year, now my wait 
till you see what I got pulled 

1616
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:52,440
into this year. 
I'm like man, if I didn't have a

1617
01:20:52,440 --> 01:20:54,120
little girl, I don't think I'm 
doing this. 

1618
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,440
The next year I get sucked into 
the Wizard of Oz theme. 

1619
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:02,160
I mean. 
I commend it because they're 

1620
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:04,240
really good. 
Costume Oh, you know, we didn't 

1621
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:05,800
mess around dude. 
That's the. 

1622
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:11,120
That's the second year now we go
to Yeah, this was adorable. 

1623
01:21:11,120 --> 01:21:12,360
It's one of my favorite. 
Just get there. 

1624
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:17,000
So now we do the Sesame Street 
theme, right? 

1625
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,000
I love how they're. 
Holding on to us, man. 

1626
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:21,280
Big Bird, right? 
And my, my wife looks great 

1627
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:25,240
there and then the last time we 
did this as a group. 

1628
01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:29,400
Hold on, this is more my speed. 
A little superhero stuff. 

1629
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:34,720
My wife and my daughter did 
Frozen and Elsa and my son and I

1630
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,400
did Batman and Robin. 
Oh, that's too sick, dude. 

1631
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:39,480
Are those? 
Money or what? 

1632
01:21:39,480 --> 01:21:39,800
Dude? 
Dude. 

1633
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:41,800
Straight money. 
I mean, they're all. 

1634
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:44,760
Incredibly high quality 
costumes. 

1635
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:46,160
I appreciate that. 
You know what I love about the 

1636
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:46,880
Robin? 
Get up. 

1637
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:49,280
Look at the ABS man, look how 
tight that is looking Red. 

1638
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:50,920
That's a jacked Robin. 
The mask is. 

1639
01:21:51,160 --> 01:21:53,080
Not the corny. 
Robin from the old days here. 

1640
01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:54,960
No. 
What else do we got going? 

1641
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:56,000
All right, let's get another 
call here. 

1642
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:56,880
What do you got? 
Jay, hook it up. 

1643
01:21:56,880 --> 01:21:59,720
We've got a new caller, too. 
Mask tonight. 

1644
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,600
From Washington Heights. 
OK, what's his first name again?

1645
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:05,480
I'm sorry, Mack. 
Tonight is Mack. 

1646
01:22:05,480 --> 01:22:08,960
Tonight when the clock. 
Strikes Mack What's going on, 

1647
01:22:08,960 --> 01:22:11,120
buddy? 
BT What's going on, man? 

1648
01:22:11,120 --> 01:22:13,200
How are you back? 
In the crib All good on a 

1649
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:14,080
Friday. 
What's happening? 

1650
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:16,320
All right, been listening to you
since. 

1651
01:22:16,320 --> 01:22:19,040
The ESPN days glad to see 
everything's going on and you 

1652
01:22:19,040 --> 01:22:21,840
know, always proud and and you 
know, happy to call in today. 

1653
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:23,320
Thank you, man. 
I appreciate that. 

1654
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:24,440
No. 
Problem. 

1655
01:22:24,440 --> 01:22:25,960
Just want to mention something I
mean. 

1656
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,040
What we saw from Bridges last 
night and that's what we've been

1657
01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:33,360
praying to see since he got here
last year, but I do want to 

1658
01:22:33,360 --> 01:22:35,880
point out that a lot of times 
people get on him, but he's sort

1659
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,960
of neutralized Nikhil Alexander 
Walker in the series. 

1660
01:22:39,440 --> 01:22:41,320
That dude was scoring 30 
something, 40 something. 

1661
01:22:41,320 --> 01:22:42,680
That's why he got most improved 
player. 

1662
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:44,320
So he was following him around 
everywhere. 

1663
01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:46,960
He does that a lot on defense 
sometimes doesn't it goes 

1664
01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:50,240
unrecognized. 
But seeing him flying around 

1665
01:22:50,240 --> 01:22:53,000
with the mid range, laying it 
up, going to the free throw line

1666
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:55,440
as opposed to just standing 
around standing in the corner, 

1667
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,160
that is what we need if we're 
going to get to the top. 

1668
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:00,640
It's almost like when he does 
that, it's like we become 

1669
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:01,760
Voltron. 
You know what I mean? 

1670
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,360
Like everything is connected, 
things like, and, and you're 

1671
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:07,080
seeing it guys, it seems like 
guys are finding out about 

1672
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:11,560
themselves, whether it's OG cat,
Jalen Brunson, even Jordan 

1673
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:14,800
Clarkson off the bench, what 
he's doing like these guys are 

1674
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:17,920
are starting to discover, wait a
minute, I can be I need to be 

1675
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:20,960
this guy in order for us to 
really get to the top. 

1676
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:24,240
So hopefully that's the start of
a great story and hopefully we 

1677
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,640
get to that point, no doubt. 
Let me ask you this. 

1678
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:30,440
Hold on, So so. 
Let's go after the NBA Cup, 

1679
01:23:30,600 --> 01:23:32,480
right? 
And then, you know, when the 

1680
01:23:32,480 --> 01:23:35,920
Knicks kind of lost their way, 
did you think that they were 

1681
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:40,640
still potential to grow into a a
possible championship type of 

1682
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:43,440
team? 
Yes, because we know by now. 

1683
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,600
Because the playoffs is 
different and that's how just 

1684
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:49,080
the NBA is nowadays. 
I mean, look at Philly, look at 

1685
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:50,960
Philly now. 
Like we know that once the these

1686
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:52,600
guys are just trying to get 
through, it's like those dog, 

1687
01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:54,280
it's like almost every day is a 
dog day. 

1688
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,320
And we saw it in March. 
And you know, now that we're in 

1689
01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:00,000
April, guys kicking into that 
next gear and they start to 

1690
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:02,160
realize certain things. 
And I think we have answers, 

1691
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,320
whether it's Boston, whether 
it's Philly, it's a different 

1692
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,840
strategy. 
We're not a team that just only 

1693
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:08,520
plays one way like a Boston 
does. 

1694
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:10,400
Like we have answers all the way
around. 

1695
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:12,320
And we even matched up. 
And I don't want to get too 

1696
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:14,280
ahead of myself and talk about 
Western Conference, but in the 

1697
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,520
two matchups and even since last
year when we match up against 

1698
01:24:16,520 --> 01:24:19,800
San Antonio, Yep. 
Like it's not it's not, you 

1699
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:21,920
know, we're not talking about a 
blowout or no chance. 

1700
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:24,000
No, no, I agree. 
I. 

1701
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,160
Agree. 
Yeah, the and again, that's down

1702
01:24:26,160 --> 01:24:29,000
the road and I appreciate you 
parsing it with. 

1703
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:30,960
You don't want to get too deep 
into that, neither do I. 

1704
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:34,120
But there was a thought. 
Think about this like the schism

1705
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:37,920
between the East and the West 
was unapproachably wide. 

1706
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,240
I don't feel that way anymore. 
I don't think anybody really 

1707
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,400
does. 
Exactly, exactly. 

1708
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:44,800
And this. 
Next team and and even whether 

1709
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:47,360
it's Mike Brown, just everybody 
where I'm hoping that this is 

1710
01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:50,760
only the start of something 
where we've been bonding them to

1711
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,000
assert their dominance. 
Like you said from the NBA Cup. 

1712
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:55,680
We were like, hey, is this it 
right now from now on, from from

1713
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,080
November on or December, 
whenever that was, we're going 

1714
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,080
to start asserting our dominance
in the Eastern Conference. 

1715
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:02,440
That didn't exactly happen. 
You know, we had injuries, 

1716
01:25:02,440 --> 01:25:06,240
whatever the case may be, but 
now is the time and hopefully 

1717
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:09,720
this is just a start where they 
see that adversity, everybody 

1718
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:12,000
starting to come together and 
find out, like I said, find out 

1719
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,600
about themselves individually 
and as how to come together as a

1720
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,040
team. 
And it's beautiful. 

1721
01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,040
And I'm not expecting A50 point 
win every single time or a 

1722
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:21,000
blowout, even in the playoffs 
especially. 

1723
01:25:21,320 --> 01:25:23,200
But we know that once you get 
it, once they start playing 

1724
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:24,680
defense, they start flying 
around. 

1725
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,360
It's almost like body punches in
a boxing match. 

1726
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:29,640
You know, you start getting them
to the body early in the rounds.

1727
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:31,600
You know you're breaking them 
down little by little. 

1728
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:33,520
By the time they get into the 
9th, 10th round, it's over. 

1729
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:35,720
That's a good analogy. 
I love the way you. 

1730
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:37,120
Lay that out. 
So by the way, I know you're up 

1731
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:38,360
in the Heights now. 
Did you grow up there? 

1732
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:39,960
Where'd you grow up? 
Yeah, Yeah. 

1733
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:41,440
I'm from from the Heights, 
Harlem. 

1734
01:25:41,440 --> 01:25:45,800
Bronx grew up actually went all 
the way down to Murray Bertram 

1735
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:48,120
High School in downtown by by 
the Brooklyn Bridge. 

1736
01:25:48,120 --> 01:25:49,920
So it took a long ride every 
day. 

1737
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,120
Ended up in Brooklyn a few times
falling asleep on the train 

1738
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:54,000
helping me too. 
Man going into Xavier in 

1739
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:55,080
Manhattan. 
Many times there. 

1740
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:57,720
So Murray, Bertram, don't they 
have that nice? 

1741
01:25:57,720 --> 01:26:00,200
I don't know if it's theirs or 
it's publicly owned now, like 

1742
01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:02,320
the city, I should say. 
Did they have that really nice 

1743
01:26:02,320 --> 01:26:03,920
baseball field underneath the 
bridge? 

1744
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:05,200
They did. 
They did. 

1745
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:06,520
That's right. 
That's right. 

1746
01:26:06,600 --> 01:26:07,800
Yeah. 
Did you play ball? 

1747
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:09,400
No, no, I didn't. 
I didn't play. 

1748
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,360
On the teams, you know. 
Rec teams been playing all the 

1749
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:13,400
different rec sports, but never 
on the actual team. 

1750
01:26:13,480 --> 01:26:16,080
But definitely, yeah, it was it 
was cool, you know, getting to 

1751
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:18,640
go down there, meeting so many 
people from Brooklyn from all 

1752
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:21,560
over Lower East Side. 
So going down there, it was a 

1753
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:23,680
long trip, but it was worth, you
know, taught me a lot about the 

1754
01:26:23,680 --> 01:26:26,200
train system as well, of course.
So Oh yeah, it was all good. 

1755
01:26:26,440 --> 01:26:27,960
That's awesome, man. 
Hey, I appreciate. 

1756
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:29,680
Making that first call, man, 
don't be a stranger. 

1757
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,280
Thanks, buddy. 
There you go. 

1758
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:36,280
Yeah, I mean, the the trains 
like you want to talk about and 

1759
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:39,600
it's so different now. 
No cameras. 

1760
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,440
Like the stuff that we would do 
on the trains was ridiculous. 

1761
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:49,240
So Jay, imagine this, right? 
The every once in a while. 

1762
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,480
So I would get the Q train. 
I mean, you would you could get 

1763
01:26:52,480 --> 01:26:56,280
the D train, but the D train was
local every, every single stop, 

1764
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:58,360
right? 
The queue was like boom buzz, 

1765
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:02,000
right to like Newkirk and church
and prospect and like, you know,

1766
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:05,000
bypass, like Beverly and Cortel 
you and Avenue H. 

1767
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,320
Like the queue was when you got 
the queue, you were pumped, 

1768
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:08,600
especially if you got a seat, 
right. 

1769
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:11,640
So the Q train was the money 
move, but sometimes you don't 

1770
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:15,160
have a choice anyway, when you 
would get that train and we 

1771
01:27:15,160 --> 01:27:16,920
would never do it in the morning
because, you know, it's still 

1772
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:20,880
rush hour, but coming back off 
hours after practice, after 

1773
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:24,800
detention, whatever it might be.
We used to, when I say we, this 

1774
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:30,920
was usually me and my buddy 
Brian, We would sneak into where

1775
01:27:30,920 --> 01:27:33,480
the conductor was, right? 
If it was an empty conductor, 

1776
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:38,360
you know, and sometimes the 
buttons were still operational. 

1777
01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:42,000
So we would talk on the entire 
PhD. 

1778
01:27:42,720 --> 01:27:45,640
That's that's so funny, I swear 
to God. 

1779
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:46,680
What? 
Would you say? 

1780
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,040
Next stop. 
Yeah, like I would, I wouldn't 

1781
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:52,080
like curse or anything like, you
know, but I'm sure we set some 

1782
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:52,800
up. 
Would you like? 

1783
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:55,760
Would you take it seriously? 
Would you be like next stop the 

1784
01:27:55,800 --> 01:27:58,240
Cal bat like yeah, yeah, yeah, 
no, I would. 

1785
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:00,320
I that's exactly. 
What the Cal day we would always

1786
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:02,800
hit the Cal that was always part
of the queue lot to DeKalb Ave. 

1787
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:07,680
but yeah, I would like I again, 
I wouldn't curse whatever, but 

1788
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:10,280
you know sometimes you might 
even I mean again, I'm not proud

1789
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:12,720
of this now maybe you maybe like
hey, we're going to bypass we're

1790
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,160
going to bypass this stop. 
I mean, I'm sure. 

1791
01:28:15,160 --> 01:28:17,480
Oh, and throw some people off. 
What an. 

1792
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:21,160
Asshole now like that's. 
Just somebody getting off dude 

1793
01:28:21,160 --> 01:28:24,240
that I mean no looking. 
At it that that would be some 

1794
01:28:24,440 --> 01:28:26,400
funny stuff. 
It was hysterical. 

1795
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,840
Me and my buddy Brian. 
Before he got kicked out of 

1796
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:30,960
Xavier and then he wound up 
going to LaSalle. 

1797
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:33,680
He was. 
He was out of his mind in a good

1798
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:34,640
way. 
He was a handful. 

1799
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:36,480
So funny. 
Absolute handful. 

1800
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:40,160
I used to do that, although with
time on the one train and and 

1801
01:28:40,160 --> 01:28:44,640
play music off my phone. 
There you go, dude. 

1802
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:46,960
You're giving me bad ideas. 
Sound loud. 

1803
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,800
I don't know how possible it is 
in 20. 26 It's not. 

1804
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:54,000
It's impossible. 
It's impossible, you know, And 

1805
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,040
The thing is too, he's he's so 
he's basically, you know, 

1806
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,880
Bluetooth in it onto the train 
or I guess whatever he's doing 

1807
01:28:59,880 --> 01:29:02,320
there and the music. 
And I would always, always been 

1808
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:04,800
a big music guy. 
I would have a cassette tape. 

1809
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:06,360
I'd be listening to a cassette 
tape. 

1810
01:29:06,440 --> 01:29:09,080
I really would be too fun. 
I mean, one day it might be LL 

1811
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,280
Cool J one day. 
I used to love R.E.M. 

1812
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:14,040
Back then, like when some of 
that music started coming out, 

1813
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:18,400
obviously beasties like, yeah. 
I mean, oh, my God, some corny 

1814
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:21,120
stuff that I probably won't 
admit to, but yeah, I mean, 

1815
01:29:21,120 --> 01:29:22,760
tape. 
And you have to rewind the tape.

1816
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:25,280
You get back to the song, and 
then you, you become like a 

1817
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,040
ninja. 
You'd be so good. 

1818
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:29,400
Like, you want to get it right 
to the start of the song. 

1819
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:31,360
You got a couple on me. 
There you go. 

1820
01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:32,840
Yeah. 
Nice, There you go. 

1821
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:36,800
And you'd actually get to that. 
You get to a point, you get so 

1822
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:39,680
good, like the timing mechanism 
in your own mind where you were 

1823
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:43,720
in a song, you'd rewind it up 
more and right to the start. 

1824
01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:47,720
It is so wild to me dude. 
Oh my God, no, it's the old dad.

1825
01:29:47,760 --> 01:29:50,040
But you know but think. 
About like when that stuff came 

1826
01:29:50,040 --> 01:29:53,400
out to my parents into the 
parents of my generation, they 

1827
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:56,120
were looking at it like some of 
the parents look at the stuff 

1828
01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,160
today. 
Like that was high tech shit. 

1829
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:01,120
That's so you had those little 
circular. 

1830
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:05,520
You had those little. 
Circular foam headphones, but 

1831
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:07,400
then they. 
Yeah, but then. 

1832
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:10,440
I mean, I'm not, I'm old. 
I'm not that old, But then they 

1833
01:30:10,440 --> 01:30:14,160
came with this like metal thing,
almost like a telemarketer would

1834
01:30:14,160 --> 01:30:15,840
wear. 
And they then they would just 

1835
01:30:15,840 --> 01:30:17,760
kind of insert. 
It was like a little Halo and 

1836
01:30:17,760 --> 01:30:21,200
then like kind of slipping like,
and then wrapped around, yeah. 

1837
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:23,200
Because then you can work out 
with those. 

1838
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:27,000
And then they came out with the 
with the because then eventually

1839
01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,480
we were able to to listen to the
CDs going to school. 

1840
01:30:29,680 --> 01:30:32,720
And then when you got ACD 
because a lot of like you're 

1841
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:36,000
trying to work out or whatever, 
like the CD would jump, the CD 

1842
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:37,840
would skip. 
So there was just like non shake

1843
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:41,520
or non skip or non whatever CD 
type where and when you got 

1844
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:44,040
that, like you with a pimp. 
Oh, we, you can, you can work 

1845
01:30:44,040 --> 01:30:47,920
out with it's not going to skip.
Jesus, think about how long ago 

1846
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:49,960
that was, Jay. 
Long time, buddy. 

1847
01:30:50,680 --> 01:30:53,560
Just 90s. 
Oh well. 

1848
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:56,280
Well, what's funny? 
Is so in college, like because, 

1849
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:59,320
you know, vinyls with kids my 
age are like really in right? 

1850
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:02,000
Not, not right now, but they've 
been in for probably the past 

1851
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:05,120
10-15 years, you know, buying a 
record player and doing that 

1852
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:06,960
thing. 
So like, I thought I would take 

1853
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:11,160
it a step further and I bought a
Walkman with the CD and I would 

1854
01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:14,760
walk around campus with it. 
But then like you were saying, I

1855
01:31:14,760 --> 01:31:17,560
would run into issues where 
you're walking with it and then 

1856
01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:20,360
it would just start grinding the
CD up because it's sad. 

1857
01:31:20,640 --> 01:31:23,520
Yes, yes. 
And I was like, dude, like, 

1858
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:26,880
because, you know, for me these 
it's like, it's not like I've 

1859
01:31:26,880 --> 01:31:29,200
accumulated CDs over my 
lifetime. 

1860
01:31:29,200 --> 01:31:32,800
Like I would go out to a store 
specifically and buy, you know, 

1861
01:31:32,800 --> 01:31:36,440
a certain CD of like, I guess 
people have been doing that 

1862
01:31:36,440 --> 01:31:40,320
forever, but. 
Like, I guess it's a little 

1863
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:43,160
different now that. 
Since now you've got to be more,

1864
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:45,720
what's the word intentional when
you're buying ACD? 

1865
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:48,400
Like it's not just building up 
your music repertoire. 

1866
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:50,840
It's like, but I guess they're 
also probably cheaper now. 

1867
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:54,240
They're cheaper, but yeah, they 
just grind. 

1868
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:56,360
The Walkman would just grind my 
stuff. 

1869
01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:57,400
Yeah. 
What was the? 

1870
01:31:57,440 --> 01:32:00,880
Company, God, I'm forgetting we,
every one of us did this scam. 

1871
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:05,600
This was, I mean a million years
ago where you would get 

1872
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:09,640
something in the mail and you 
would, and I'm talking about 

1873
01:32:09,640 --> 01:32:11,000
when I was, I didn't have any 
credit cards. 

1874
01:32:11,040 --> 01:32:12,600
I'm young. 
I'm like freshman high school 

1875
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:16,120
and then suddenly I'd get like 8
CDs to my house and it was like 

1876
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:18,520
for a penny. 
I swear to God, those of you who

1877
01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:21,600
are old enough, somebody 
dropping the chat, not clearing 

1878
01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:23,720
house for not the NCAA clearing 
house. 

1879
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:27,160
The hell was that something this
guy said? 

1880
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:30,480
15 CDs. 
For one cent, something like 

1881
01:32:30,480 --> 01:32:32,040
that, and that's where I 
started. 

1882
01:32:32,040 --> 01:32:34,360
My day. 
But then the problem is, and 

1883
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,120
this is where they get you, 
they're obviously not in the 

1884
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,760
business of musical charity. 
I mean, but I'm like, oh shit, I

1885
01:32:38,760 --> 01:32:42,040
got 15 free CDs and in my mind I
had nothing else to worry about.

1886
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:45,840
But what would happen was you 
would then have to each month 

1887
01:32:45,840 --> 01:32:50,640
alert them that you do not want 
the the next CD that was not 

1888
01:32:50,640 --> 01:32:54,480
your choice to come to the home.
And but I just never did it. 

1889
01:32:54,480 --> 01:32:56,360
I'm like, whatever, I just get 
it and I RIP it up. 

1890
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:58,040
I get my free CDs and I'm good 
to go. 

1891
01:32:58,320 --> 01:33:01,240
And then what would happen? 
You know, Columbia House. 

1892
01:33:01,400 --> 01:33:03,040
Columbia House. 
There you go. 

1893
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:04,280
There you go. 
I clearing out. 

1894
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:05,960
I knew it was like that. 
Good, good job. 

1895
01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:08,600
And this was the scam of all 
scams, dude. 

1896
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:12,640
And then you would you would get
because you would just forget 

1897
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:15,000
about the paperwork, right? 
There was no website. 

1898
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:17,240
You would have to like check. 
No, I don't want the next one 

1899
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:18,760
mailed it in. 
I don't even think you had to 

1900
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:20,600
put a stamp on it. 
I was just too lazy to do. 

1901
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:22,960
I just didn't care. 
And then you would get this new 

1902
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:24,760
CD at the house. 
I'm like, what the hell is this?

1903
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:27,360
I never even heard of this band.
And then that's how they get 

1904
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:29,080
you. 
And then you start racking up 

1905
01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:30,360
and then again, I would the next
month. 

1906
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:31,440
I wouldn't do it in the next 
month. 

1907
01:33:31,440 --> 01:33:34,240
I would never do it. 
So eventually my dad would have 

1908
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,160
to like, pay off Columbia House 
because I want to get like 9C 

1909
01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:39,320
DS, but I didn't even know who 
they were. 

1910
01:33:39,320 --> 01:33:42,440
Like classical music, this stuff
I had no interest in. 

1911
01:33:42,440 --> 01:33:43,840
And he's like, what are you 
doing? 

1912
01:33:43,840 --> 01:33:46,680
Like, what are you doing? 
And I had a friend. 

1913
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:51,400
I was not this devious #1 this 
was my checkpoint. 

1914
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:54,800
Like I, I did some really stupid
shit, you know, like whether 

1915
01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:57,200
it's graffiti or whatever, 
you're driving cars when I 

1916
01:33:57,200 --> 01:33:58,920
shouldn't drive before I got my 
license. 

1917
01:33:59,360 --> 01:34:02,440
But I was not a thief. 
I just wasn't like, I was not a 

1918
01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:03,880
lot of my friends would steal 
stuff. 

1919
01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:07,720
Some of my friends had a scam 
where like if they lived in 

1920
01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:11,000
apartments or near an apartment,
they would do the Columbia House

1921
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:14,520
thing and and they wouldn't 
attach their name to it. 

1922
01:34:14,520 --> 01:34:15,560
I don't even know how they did 
it. 

1923
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:17,760
And then, yeah. 
And then when the like, they 

1924
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:21,080
would hunt out and wait for the 
CDs to come at somebody else's 

1925
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:24,440
apartment that they didn't know 
they did the CDs and and they 

1926
01:34:24,440 --> 01:34:25,200
didn't. 
Have to deal with the 

1927
01:34:25,200 --> 01:34:28,680
repercussions. 
They just got to the right, that

1928
01:34:28,680 --> 01:34:30,520
is why and I guess because it's 
like. 

1929
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:33,320
They were sort of cheap. 
It's like you're not doing a 

1930
01:34:33,320 --> 01:34:35,560
horrible thing. 
No, no, you're not stealing a 

1931
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:38,720
$700. 
You know, gold chain from, you 

1932
01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:41,520
know, the mall or whatever it 
might be, or $125.00 Air 

1933
01:34:41,520 --> 01:34:43,280
Jordans, whatever. 
All right, next call. 

1934
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:44,000
What do we got? 
Jay? 

1935
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,600
Hook it up. 
We've got our friend Blind 

1936
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:49,480
Beard. 
Blind beard, what's up? 

1937
01:34:49,480 --> 01:34:54,680
There b ^2 how you doing? 
You hear us going on, dude? 

1938
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:58,000
I feel like I'm listening to 
Steve Summers over here. 

1939
01:34:58,000 --> 01:35:00,680
You know, you like I was talking
about the olden days. 

1940
01:35:00,680 --> 01:35:05,320
Not always, no. 
I'm just messing up. 

1941
01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:09,200
Not always, not always. 
I I love it. 

1942
01:35:09,200 --> 01:35:12,480
No, it's it's awesome and. 
You bring that, you bring that 

1943
01:35:12,480 --> 01:35:16,720
love to the to the show. 
And I, I was, I was thinking 

1944
01:35:16,720 --> 01:35:18,320
about it. 
Maybe you should do like an 

1945
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:20,520
unleashed golf outing one day 
too. 

1946
01:35:21,360 --> 01:35:24,240
I think that would be a lot of 
fun, yeah. 

1947
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:27,800
There's something I don't think 
I'd do without EI would do. 

1948
01:35:27,800 --> 01:35:29,920
It, even though I love Nassau 
County, I used to spend a lot of

1949
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:33,560
time out there playing ball. 
Mitchell Park and Eisenhower. 

1950
01:35:33,560 --> 01:35:35,520
That's really that's, I think 
that's the first place I ever 

1951
01:35:35,520 --> 01:35:38,680
really played golf. 
Was that like Sunken Meadow and 

1952
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:41,720
a few of those courses. 
But I was out there almost every

1953
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:45,760
summer in college a lot. 
But I'm in Jersey now. 

1954
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:47,840
So if we did something, if I do 
something like that, I'll do it 

1955
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:49,320
in Jersey. 
Listen, there's things that 

1956
01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:50,680
that's a good idea. 
Yeah. 

1957
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:53,160
I told you guys that We'll 
start. 

1958
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:56,080
I'd rather go ahead. 
Sorry, man. 

1959
01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:57,800
I'd I'd rather I'd rather bring 
up. 

1960
01:35:57,800 --> 01:35:59,520
Something else besides Mets 
stuff? 

1961
01:36:01,400 --> 01:36:02,520
Yeah, go, go. 
Go. 

1962
01:36:02,520 --> 01:36:04,840
I was just going to say that. 
I, I was just going to say 

1963
01:36:04,840 --> 01:36:06,480
there's other things we're going
to do. 

1964
01:36:06,920 --> 01:36:08,720
You know, like I told you, we'll
get guests done now we get 

1965
01:36:08,720 --> 01:36:10,920
guests done regularly. 
I told you we'll incorporate the

1966
01:36:10,920 --> 01:36:12,920
phone calls Now we're, I'm 
talking to you on the phone 

1967
01:36:12,920 --> 01:36:15,320
right now. 
I told you merchandise, which is

1968
01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:18,200
slower than I thought that will 
come. 

1969
01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:20,560
And you know, the golf outing 
that is, that is a little bit 

1970
01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:24,040
more ambitious in terms of from 
a revenue generation sponsorship

1971
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:25,640
point of view, but we'll make it
happen. 

1972
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:27,520
I don't know what's going to 
happen this summer, but it will 

1973
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:30,360
happen at some point. 
Yeah, exactly. 

1974
01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:33,680
I mean, we could have. 
Someone caddy for me, you know, 

1975
01:36:33,680 --> 01:36:36,520
I mean, I'm the blind guy, so I 
need, I need I. 

1976
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:38,760
Need someone to find my. 
Ball, for me at least, you know,

1977
01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:40,640
Well, that's a four caddy. 
I mean, yeah. 

1978
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:42,720
That would be nice to have 
somebody a couple of 100 yards 

1979
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,360
down the fairway so that it when
it goes in the weeds, he can 

1980
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:47,480
pluck it out for us. 
That would be now that's next 

1981
01:36:47,480 --> 01:36:49,080
level. 
The channels really got to be 

1982
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:53,080
doing well to have 4-4 caddies. 
You know, let's let's get there 

1983
01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:53,600
first. 
What? 

1984
01:36:53,600 --> 01:36:57,080
What's going on, man? 
No, that's it. 

1985
01:36:57,080 --> 01:36:58,280
I was I was thinking. 
About that. 

1986
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:01,160
I I I left my Red Sox hat at 
home today. 

1987
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:04,040
I just decided, you know, I'm, 
I'm going to embrace it and just

1988
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:06,920
wear my Mets gear like, like I 
normally do, you know? 

1989
01:37:06,960 --> 01:37:11,160
And and, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm
a fan of a losing team. 

1990
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,640
That that's all it is, man. 
That's all it is. 

1991
01:37:14,040 --> 01:37:17,560
Yeah, I know. 
And I get it. 

1992
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,440
And, and I empathize with you a 
little bit as a Jets fan, I get 

1993
01:37:20,440 --> 01:37:22,080
it. 
There's just certain teams. 

1994
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:25,000
Oh, jeez. 
So sorry. 

1995
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,000
Met The Jets, Nets. 
Come on, man. 

1996
01:37:27,880 --> 01:37:29,480
Who's your hockey team? 
Do you have one? 

1997
01:37:30,480 --> 01:37:31,160
Yeah. 
Rangers. 

1998
01:37:31,160 --> 01:37:32,360
You know. 
All right, all right. 

1999
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:34,840
All right. 
I don't, I don't know what to 

2000
01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:36,400
tell you. 
I mean, it's, it's pretty lean. 

2001
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:40,040
I, I, you know, I, I have. 
No, I have no luck here. 

2002
01:37:41,680 --> 01:37:43,480
Who introduced? 
You to these teams, did you find

2003
01:37:43,480 --> 01:37:44,720
them on your own? 
Was it your pops? 

2004
01:37:44,720 --> 01:37:45,520
A Big Brother? 
What? 

2005
01:37:45,560 --> 01:37:46,600
What? 
Yeah, yeah. 

2006
01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:50,480
My, my, my, you know. 
My, my dad, you know, we used to

2007
01:37:50,480 --> 01:37:53,160
watch all these teams before he,
before he was killed. 

2008
01:37:53,160 --> 01:37:56,840
And I just watch I, you know, I 
just continued with it. 

2009
01:37:56,840 --> 01:38:01,000
And then my, my brother's a 
different, my brother, my, my 

2010
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:03,480
brother's a fan of a different, 
of different teams. 

2011
01:38:03,480 --> 01:38:07,720
And I'm like, because he 
followed my mom and he became a 

2012
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:14,080
Yankee fan and Giants and I'm 
that's Jets advantage brother I 

2013
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:15,480
got to be honest with. 
You. 

2014
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:16,080
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

2015
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:18,080
But you know what? 
Listen, I get it and thanks for 

2016
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:19,000
the. 
Call man, appreciate you 

2017
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:21,000
checking in. 
Thank you. 

2018
01:38:21,080 --> 01:38:26,720
The sounds contrived. 
The reward is going to be so 

2019
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,680
amazing, but you got to get the 
rewards. 

2020
01:38:29,680 --> 01:38:33,040
You got to get there. 
And I, I don't know what to tell

2021
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:34,600
you. 
I mean, just thank God I'm a 

2022
01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:38,760
Yankee fan. 
Oh my God, thank God you know, 

2023
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:40,560
and even that's getting a little
bit lean in terms of the 

2024
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:42,520
championships here based on the 
Yankees standard. 

2025
01:38:42,520 --> 01:38:46,200
But thank God I, I am. 
I could have gone either way. 

2026
01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:48,680
Like I'm, I'm actually surprised
I'm not a Mets fan. 

2027
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:52,440
You guys know the story. 
My dad, Dodger fan used to go to

2028
01:38:52,440 --> 01:38:56,560
the Mets dream camps. 
The Mets went on first before 

2029
01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:58,000
the Yankees went on in our 
house. 

2030
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:01,000
When I was really, really young,
you know, I think I used to 

2031
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:02,360
watch every single Connor's 
corner. 

2032
01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:03,800
And I love watching Connor's 
corner. 

2033
01:39:03,800 --> 01:39:06,720
That's why it's funny, like a 
lot of Yankee fans really hate 

2034
01:39:06,720 --> 01:39:07,920
the Mets. 
I really don't. 

2035
01:39:08,280 --> 01:39:11,840
I, I, you know what I hate? 
I hate what the Yankee Met 

2036
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:16,720
dynamic has become that it 
wasn't, I mean, like, yeah, it 

2037
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:18,160
was like that a little bit when 
I was growing up. 

2038
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:19,800
Like obviously I'm a Mattingly 
guy. 

2039
01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:23,320
Some of my buddies were, were 
obviously Hernandez guys. 

2040
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,440
You know, you'd go, you'd play 
wiffle ball and you would 

2041
01:39:26,480 --> 01:39:29,040
emulate the entire line up. 
Like, you know, batting first 

2042
01:39:29,040 --> 01:39:31,440
for me, I'm Ricky, then I'm 
Willie, then I'm Mattingly, then

2043
01:39:31,440 --> 01:39:34,960
I'm Winfield, then I'm Jack 
Clark or Mike Pagliarullo, so on

2044
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:38,320
and so forth. 
And you know, my buddy would be 

2045
01:39:38,800 --> 01:39:42,600
Mookie and and Backman and Keith
and Gary and Darryl and so on 

2046
01:39:42,600 --> 01:39:46,000
and so forth. 
But I don't know, it just social

2047
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,640
media is really added to so much
of A nonsense. 

2048
01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:51,800
It just really has it's, it's 
really ridiculous, man. 

2049
01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:56,080
The Martian is again looking 
overwhelmed. 

2050
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,640
When do you get the hook? 
Meaning I, I think when does he 

2051
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:00,720
get the hook? 
I don't know. 

2052
01:40:01,280 --> 01:40:03,360
I don't know the answer to that.
I mean, I, I got to see how his 

2053
01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:05,560
elbow is. 
First of all, was there any news

2054
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:06,920
on that since we came on the 
air? 

2055
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:11,520
Let's see Jason there might. 
Be I know he was going to get 

2056
01:40:11,520 --> 01:40:12,680
some more. 
Testing when he got he got 

2057
01:40:12,680 --> 01:40:16,000
drilled. 
I'm not sure let's see nothing 

2058
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:18,160
nothing yet Nothing yet nothing 
yet. 

2059
01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:23,920
All right again listen, dude, I 
text Joe this was on a 

2060
01:40:23,920 --> 01:40:26,440
Wednesday. 
Joe B let's get you on the let's

2061
01:40:26,440 --> 01:40:29,120
get you on the podcast BT he 
goes when are you looking to do 

2062
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:31,520
this bro? 
I said well, I'm on every day at

2063
01:40:31,520 --> 01:40:32,800
10. 
I don't assume that he knows 

2064
01:40:32,800 --> 01:40:35,480
that. 
How about Tuesday next week 

2065
01:40:35,480 --> 01:40:37,920
might be playing golf, bro. 
When do you know when? 

2066
01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:39,480
When do you need to know? 
By bro? 

2067
01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:41,240
I go. 
You can tell me by Friday. 

2068
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:42,320
All good. 
He goes. 

2069
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:46,040
OK, bro, that's so funny. 
And then? 

2070
01:40:46,480 --> 01:40:47,600
And then I'm like, I don't want 
to be up. 

2071
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:48,960
His ass. 
He'll get back to me whenever 

2072
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:50,440
you know it's not going to make 
or break the show. 

2073
01:40:50,440 --> 01:40:53,760
We'll get Joe on eventually. 
And he writes back this morning.

2074
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:56,240
Tuesday at Tuesday at 10. 
Looks good bro. 

2075
01:40:56,440 --> 01:41:00,560
OK bro. 
I'm at 11:30 and he goes playing

2076
01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:04,080
golf at noon, bro. 
Then Wednesday's better let go. 

2077
01:41:04,440 --> 01:41:05,960
All right, let's do Wednesday, 
Joe. 

2078
01:41:06,040 --> 01:41:06,920
You. 
Got it, bro. 

2079
01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:09,880
Let's go mix. 
Yeah, that's too funny. 

2080
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:13,440
He's Oh man, it's going. 
To be a lot of fun, especially 

2081
01:41:13,440 --> 01:41:15,600
if the Mets keep losing. 
All right, do we have one more 

2082
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:18,400
call? 
Let's get one more call. 

2083
01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:20,640
We're not going to line anybody 
else up if there's any more

super chats hanging out there,

Marciano what's going on? 
Not much BT long time. 

2098
01:41:58,160 --> 01:42:03,440
Listener from when you was on 
10:50 with Stephen A, There's a 

2099
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:05,400
lot of you man. 
There's. 

2100
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:08,000
A lot of you OG 1050 fans. 
That's great. 

2101
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:11,720
Oh yeah, long time fan. 
I like listening to all your 

2102
01:42:11,880 --> 01:42:14,680
takes and everything, like when 
you get a little crazy, you have

2103
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:16,480
a little bit. 
But that one guy that was 

2104
01:42:16,480 --> 01:42:18,000
chatting, he was a. 
Little nuts. 

2105
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:19,760
That's all good. 
We're all nuts now where's 

2106
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:20,800
Beverly Rd. 
What is that? 

2107
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:21,640
I don't understand. 
I'm. 

2108
01:42:22,120 --> 01:42:25,000
I live in Beverly, MA. 
Oh, OK, there you go. 

2109
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,160
Yeah, I'm from Jersey. 
City, New Jersey. 

2110
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:29,440
Jersey City. 
Do you go to Saint Anthony's? 

2111
01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:32,240
No, no, my cousin played 
baseball with. 

2112
01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:34,880
Willie Banks. 
Oh, Willie Banks, the pitcher, 

2113
01:42:35,240 --> 01:42:37,160
Yeah. 
Oh he, I remember watching. 

2114
01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:39,480
Like Willie Banks through. 
Gas man Willie Banks. 

2115
01:42:39,480 --> 01:42:40,920
Well, yeah, he did. 
Yeah. 

2116
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:42,480
No, no, I didn't. 
Thank God I didn't have to face.

2117
01:42:42,480 --> 01:42:46,240
I played Saint Anthony's once in
baseball and we beat him like 20

2118
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:48,680
to 5. 
But thank God, you know, Banks 

2119
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:49,880
is older. 
I never had to see him. 

2120
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:51,600
I wouldn't have touched him. 
He was he was a beast. 

2121
01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:52,600
Yeah. 
Twins. 

2122
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:54,960
Yeah, Twins primarily, right. 
Yeah. 

2123
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:56,960
Yeah, he Twins. 
Yankees. 

2124
01:42:56,960 --> 01:43:00,200
That I know, Yankee and. 
But yeah, big. 

2125
01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:03,240
Fan. 
But how good did that feel last 

2126
01:43:03,240 --> 01:43:06,720
night, watching the Knicks close
out a game that way? 

2127
01:43:06,760 --> 01:43:09,000
Yeah, yeah. 
When we're usually on the 

2128
01:43:09,000 --> 01:43:09,840
opposite. 
End. 

2129
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:12,480
Of that, well, not like that. 
I mean, nobody's been on the. 

2130
01:43:12,480 --> 01:43:15,840
Opposite end like that ever. 
That's the reason we always get 

2131
01:43:15,840 --> 01:43:19,000
crushed like not. 
By score but our hearts, you 

2132
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:24,120
know what I mean? 
But, you know, I live in 

2133
01:43:24,120 --> 01:43:29,440
Massachusetts and watching the 
Celtics going to Game 7 feels 

2134
01:43:29,440 --> 01:43:32,040
good. 
Hopefully fully can close it 

2135
01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:34,160
out. 
But I think that match up will 

2136
01:43:34,160 --> 01:43:37,760
be a little tougher with, you 
know, and be. 

2137
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:40,640
But I kind of want to see that 
match up and be in Towns. 

2138
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:44,960
The way that Towns is playing 
now, the Knicks need him to to 

2139
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:48,200
go to the finals. 
I've been saying that all year 

2140
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:51,360
to my wife, like, hey, if the 
Knicks won the win, they need to

2141
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:53,920
go through Cat. 
Yes, yes. 

2142
01:43:53,920 --> 01:43:56,280
And that's why Mike? 
Brown deserves some credit for 

2143
01:43:56,280 --> 01:43:59,240
the adjustment and that's why 
Cat deserves a lot of credit for

2144
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:00,840
being ready to flourish with the
adjustment. 

2145
01:44:00,840 --> 01:44:03,000
No question about it. 
He's been phenomenal. 

2146
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:05,480
Yeah. 
And and what do you think about 

2147
01:44:05,520 --> 01:44:07,520
my my question? 
Is this, what do you think about

2148
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:10,600
that matchup between Towns and 
and B? 

2149
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:14,320
Well, we're not there yet. 
Yeah, we're not there. 

2150
01:44:14,360 --> 01:44:15,360
Yet that's what I think about 
it. 

2151
01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:16,440
I don't want to put the car 
before. 

2152
01:44:16,440 --> 01:44:18,560
It's one thing to have fun and 
be a little giddy today, but I'm

2153
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:20,400
not going to break down those 
matchups till I know who's 

2154
01:44:20,400 --> 01:44:23,200
playing. 
I will give you and Marciano 

2155
01:44:23,200 --> 01:44:25,280
thanks for the call man. 
I appreciate you rolling with me

2156
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:26,520
for as long as you have. 
No thank you. 

2157
01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:28,560
Don't be a stranger. 
Call back anytime. 

2158
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:30,800
Thank you, brother. 
Thank you, bro. 

2159
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:36,920
I think that I mean, the Celtics
championship pedigree you got to

2160
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:40,280
respect. 
They are overly reliant on the 

2161
01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:42,480
three. 
You know, Tatum's a little 

2162
01:44:42,480 --> 01:44:44,760
jacked up with the calf for the 
hamstring. 

2163
01:44:45,240 --> 01:44:49,880
You know, Nick fans will take 
over Philly like they have 

2164
01:44:49,880 --> 01:44:52,840
before and beads a problem when 
he's right. 

2165
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:57,560
Maxie's a problem. 
You know, I don't really know 

2166
01:44:57,560 --> 01:44:59,320
who I want. 
I I don't know. 

2167
01:44:59,840 --> 01:45:02,560
I just want these two teams to 
beat the shit out of each other 

2168
01:45:02,560 --> 01:45:04,840
over the weekend. 
You know, I bet a triple 

2169
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:10,320
overtime absolute gas tank is 
empty and then we'll see a game 

2170
01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:13,800
one heavy legs, Knicks by 17 
playing downhill. 

2171
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:16,200
I don't know if that's going to 
happen, but I don't know. 

2172
01:45:16,360 --> 01:45:19,520
I you know, part of me wants I'm
going back and forth. 

2173
01:45:19,520 --> 01:45:23,400
Part of me wants Boston. 
It feels a little more 

2174
01:45:23,400 --> 01:45:26,480
prestigious, you know, give it 
the Celtics recent championship 

2175
01:45:26,480 --> 01:45:29,720
pedigree. 
Some of me wants the Sixers, but

2176
01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:32,720
that match up, I think the 
Sixers match up worries me a 

2177
01:45:32,720 --> 01:45:35,240
little bit more. 
Either way, that's as deep as 

2178
01:45:35,240 --> 01:45:38,680
I'm going into that pool. 
We will get to that when we get 

2179
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:41,160
to that. 
J Rod, what do you got on the 

2180
01:45:41,160 --> 01:45:42,920
agenda this weekend, buddy? 
Anything good? 

2181
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:45,280
Let's see. 
No, I mean last. 

2182
01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:49,240
Like last night was like that 
was that was it. 

2183
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:51,920
That was enough for the entire 
weekend. 

2184
01:45:52,480 --> 01:45:56,000
But tonight, try to get after it
somewhere, I guess. 

2185
01:45:56,000 --> 01:45:57,600
Friday or Friday. 
Saturday. 

2186
01:45:57,600 --> 01:45:59,120
Have some fun. 
Wait, hold on. 

2187
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:00,600
What? 
Forgot what? 

2188
01:46:00,600 --> 01:46:02,360
Sunday. 
I'm going to the Yankee game. 

2189
01:46:02,480 --> 01:46:03,960
You are. 
Yes, Sir. 

2190
01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:10,640
Yes Sir, I'm going with my. 
Brother and some of my. 

2191
01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:13,800
Friends, we're going to the 
Yankee game sitting in the 

2192
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:16,160
outfield. 
My brother really wanted to 

2193
01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:20,400
catch a Homer. 
So dude, I can't wait. 

2194
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:24,080
I mean, honestly, like this is 
this is the first baseball game 

2195
01:46:24,080 --> 01:46:27,600
I've ever gone to, not bottom 
line, this is the first baseball

2196
01:46:27,600 --> 01:46:30,520
game I've ever gone to where I'm
really going to be watching with

2197
01:46:30,520 --> 01:46:33,920
the true eye, with the true 
really breakdown the Oh, of 

2198
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,640
course, dude, first one. 
So have you been to Fenway? 

2199
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:38,720
Yeah, many times. 
Yeah, I've been to Fenway a 

2200
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:40,600
bunch. 
Of times Yankee Stadium a few 

2201
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:42,400
times. 
Like I mean, I've been to Yankee

2202
01:46:42,400 --> 01:46:46,080
Stadium more than Citi Field One
time I I went to a Mets game 

2203
01:46:46,080 --> 01:46:46,920
last. 
I like Citi. 

2204
01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:48,560
Citi feels pretty good. 
Fun time. 

2205
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:50,280
There that I mean it's just a 
parking. 

2206
01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:53,280
Lot, that's my only issue. 
It's just like the area 

2207
01:46:53,280 --> 01:46:56,480
surrounding it. 
But yeah, no, I mean, this is 

2208
01:46:56,480 --> 01:46:59,400
the first game I've been to 
where I'm like, super excited to

2209
01:46:59,400 --> 01:47:03,360
just get in, watch the game, you
know, see Pete Alonzo riff it. 

2210
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:06,360
Come on you, you better bring 
that debit card 'cause it ain't 

2211
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:08,600
cheap, buddy. 
Oh dude no not at all. 

2212
01:47:08,600 --> 01:47:11,960
Also. 
Dude this quick side my. 

2213
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:15,040
Friend we went to. 
Like this party bar, whatever 

2214
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:19,000
thing. 
Last night the drinks were $35. 

2215
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:21,480
Fuck out of here. 
It was 70 bucks. 

2216
01:47:21,480 --> 01:47:23,920
For two drinks. 
Granted, they were it. 

2217
01:47:24,280 --> 01:47:26,600
It was the most ridiculous thing
I've ever seen. 

2218
01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:28,280
What kind of drink was it? 
Like a vodka. 

2219
01:47:28,440 --> 01:47:31,680
Potik, this is sad. 
It was a potka. 

2220
01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:36,400
Red Bull bro what for 35? 
Dollars all right now. 

2221
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,320
Hold on a SEC. 
Where was it in Manhattan? 

2222
01:47:39,320 --> 01:47:41,520
I'm assuming right. 
Bushwick, Brooklyn. 

2223
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:43,880
Bushwick, Brooklyn 35. 
So. 

2224
01:47:43,880 --> 01:47:46,880
Did you clarify Because they 
usually ask you what type of 

2225
01:47:46,880 --> 01:47:49,120
baca you want. 
Did the bartender did? 

2226
01:47:49,120 --> 01:47:50,520
Did he or she ask you what you 
want? 

2227
01:47:50,920 --> 01:47:52,960
Just singular double? 
That was it. 

2228
01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:55,240
Did you say double for 35? 
All right. 

2229
01:47:55,440 --> 01:47:56,400
Well, thank you. 
Got to give me all the 

2230
01:47:56,400 --> 01:48:00,560
information. 
Was it like, was it Belvedere? 

2231
01:48:00,560 --> 01:48:03,120
Was it a lower level? 
Was you know, cuz there's some 

2232
01:48:03,120 --> 01:48:05,360
pretty some pretty good quality.
It was pretty. 

2233
01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:08,120
Quality tasting. 
I love Belvedere's good. 

2234
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:11,000
I used to that was. 
Really, when I graduated, like 

2235
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:16,200
in college, right, it was beer. 
It was like Rumblemints. 

2236
01:48:16,200 --> 01:48:19,520
Couple of shots of Rumblemints, 
couple of shots of Jägermeister.

2237
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:24,800
And then when I got out of 
college, it was some vodka, like

2238
01:48:24,920 --> 01:48:26,680
I was on a vodka kick for a 
couple of years. 

2239
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:29,360
Not, not with great frequency, 
but like when I would drink, I 

2240
01:48:29,360 --> 01:48:31,440
would go like I thought I was 
fancy, like a Belvedere or 

2241
01:48:31,440 --> 01:48:33,960
something like that. 
I remember when Sky Vodka came 

2242
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:36,040
out, like those blue bottles. 
I kind of like that. 

2243
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:40,120
Obviously you would drink a 
little absolute in college, but 

2244
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:44,080
then, yeah, I was probably on 
that vodka for about five years 

2245
01:48:44,080 --> 01:48:47,400
or so, and then I morphed into 
Scotch. 

2246
01:48:47,440 --> 01:48:50,800
And ironically, do you know how 
I got into Scotch? 

2247
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:52,840
This is a great story. 
This is a great little. 

2248
01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:55,480
I'll try to keep it tight. 
I know that's impossible for me,

2249
01:48:55,480 --> 01:48:59,120
but I'll try. 
So, you know, back when I was at

2250
01:48:59,120 --> 01:49:03,120
10:50, Yeah. 
Play that harp. 

2251
01:49:03,120 --> 01:49:07,720
Let everybody know it's gonna be
longer than I back when I was at

2252
01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:11,280
10. 50 So this is. 
Probably we were living in, I 

2253
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:13,440
always look at where was I 
living to get the year. 

2254
01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:16,520
So we were in Hoboken. 
We were just married. 

2255
01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:21,320
So it was 2010 at that point. 
Johnny Walker, who I was doing 

2256
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:22,640
some work. 
They were owned by Diageo. 

2257
01:49:22,640 --> 01:49:25,520
I was doing some work with them 
and they had just become a 

2258
01:49:25,520 --> 01:49:28,640
sponsor for the Yankees. 
OK. 

2259
01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:30,480
Well, Michael. 
They invited they. 

2260
01:49:30,640 --> 01:49:33,840
Well, they Michael was the main 
recipient of the invitation. 

2261
01:49:33,840 --> 01:49:36,840
They said, hey, bring like 10 
friends, bring like 10 people 

2262
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:38,680
that you want to bring. 
And we're going to have the 

2263
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:42,680
whiskey master come in from, you
know, from, from Scotland. 

2264
01:49:43,880 --> 01:49:44,880
Yeah. 
And it's. 

2265
01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:46,680
I forget the hotel. 
Somewhere in Manhattan, I'm 

2266
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:48,640
forgetting the name of the 
hotel, and it was like a nice 

2267
01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:51,880
dinner hors d'oeuvres, right? 
And it was really a high level. 

2268
01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:53,720
I think I wore a suit and tile. 
It was nice, right? 

2269
01:49:54,080 --> 01:49:57,640
And it was like myself, Michael,
Donnie Ligreca was there. 

2270
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:02,640
John Flaherty was there from the
Yes Network. 

2271
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:07,320
I think Coney was there, you 
know, maybe a few like maybe 

2272
01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:10,280
Sherman, maybe maybe some of 
other Michael's other friends. 

2273
01:50:10,360 --> 01:50:14,720
Either way, the whiskey master 
went through. 

2274
01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:17,040
If you know, like Johnny Walker 
back in the day, it was like 

2275
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:19,440
red. 
It's changed now. 

2276
01:50:19,440 --> 01:50:23,520
They have so many like was red, 
black, green, gold, blue. 

2277
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:25,480
Obviously blue is the higher, 
but then they had some other 

2278
01:50:25,480 --> 01:50:27,440
ones like double platinum, 
barrel oak, whatever. 

2279
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:31,280
And red is generally like for 
ginger ale, you kind of mix it. 

2280
01:50:31,280 --> 01:50:34,720
It's a little cheap, but the 
whiskey master went through and 

2281
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:37,080
he had one of those little 
science, what are those things 

2282
01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:39,760
called? 
The droplet dropper to clean the

2283
01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:41,120
pallet. 
And you would have. 

2284
01:50:41,120 --> 01:50:46,000
Samples of each of the and yeah,
green and which is very hard to 

2285
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,080
get and gold and, and, and blue 
as well. 

2286
01:50:48,320 --> 01:50:51,560
And you would, you would take a 
sip and then he would tell you 

2287
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:54,880
what you should taste and like, 
what flavors vanilla, oak like 

2288
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:57,920
what it what it is. 
And then when we left and he 

2289
01:50:57,920 --> 01:50:59,920
went through all five of them. 
And then, you know, you rinse 

2290
01:50:59,920 --> 01:51:01,240
the pallet, you try the next 
one. 

2291
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:05,240
They gave each one of us a 
bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue 

2292
01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:08,720
that was inscribed with 
something that was unique for 

2293
01:51:08,720 --> 01:51:10,320
everybody. 
And I still have the bottle. 

2294
01:51:10,600 --> 01:51:13,520
It's down in my man cave, but it
says, it says my name and it 

2295
01:51:13,520 --> 01:51:15,400
says the voice of New York 
sports. 

2296
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:18,400
That's sick, dude. 
Yeah. 

2297
01:51:19,440 --> 01:51:22,360
And then I went on my my. 
My, my, you know, my, my Johnny 

2298
01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:25,440
Walker kick. 
And to the point where I 

2299
01:51:25,440 --> 01:51:27,760
developed a great relationship 
with the myself and I did a lot 

2300
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:30,120
of appearances. 
I remember interviewing Jim 

2301
01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:33,520
Furyk at A at a big Johnny 
Walker event right before the US

2302
01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:34,960
Open. 
Did a lot of stuff. 

2303
01:51:34,960 --> 01:51:38,120
But but I also for my groomsmen,
'cause we got married down in 

2304
01:51:38,120 --> 01:51:42,680
Florida, I had Johnny Walker 
ship a, a bottle of Johnny Blue 

2305
01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:44,520
to everybody in my wedding 
party. 

2306
01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:48,360
My dad, my father-in-law, my 
future father-in-law with, with 

2307
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,840
'cause we got, we got married 
10/10/10 and their names 

2308
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:54,680
inscribed in it. 
It's awesome if Michael got me 

2309
01:51:54,680 --> 01:51:56,240
into it. 
Like if Michael doesn't invite 

2310
01:51:56,240 --> 01:51:59,760
me to that, I probably. 
And I was, when I tell you I was

2311
01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:01,800
on a little kick for a year. 
Like I was like, anytime I'm 

2312
01:52:01,800 --> 01:52:04,600
going to the bar, I'm like, hey,
Johnny Black one cube, Johnny 

2313
01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:06,560
Green one. 
Like it was, it was on for a 

2314
01:52:06,560 --> 01:52:08,280
while, but that's how it 
started. 

2315
01:52:08,280 --> 01:52:10,240
So there you go. 
All right. 

2316
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:12,360
Wasn't too long of a story. 
No, no, no. 

2317
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:13,880
Nothing. 
Crazy bounce. 

2318
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:15,680
Dude, good show, really good 
week. 

2319
01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:16,920
Did you get paid everything 
good? 

2320
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:18,280
Did it come through? 
Yeah. 

2321
01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:19,560
We're all set. 
We're all set. 

2322
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:21,160
We. 
Got our little routine. 

2323
01:52:21,480 --> 01:52:22,360
It's scheduled. 
Right. 

2324
01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:23,680
So it just comes right to 
yourself. 

2325
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:28,280
Yeah, I, I think it's, I think 
it's at like 1. 27 AM on is that

2326
01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:30,040
is that what? 
Is that what the it's like It's 

2327
01:52:30,040 --> 01:52:33,440
sometime between 12:00. 
To two AMI love it. 

2328
01:52:33,440 --> 01:52:35,040
It's funny. 
All right, man. 

2329
01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:36,560
Well, listen have. 
A great time for the Yankee 

2330
01:52:36,560 --> 01:52:37,360
game. 
Go Yanks. 

2331
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:38,760
Enjoy it. 
Good luck to you Celtics. 

2332
01:52:38,760 --> 01:52:41,640
I know you're nervous, but good 
luck to the seas there. 

2333
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:45,240
Knick fans rebel now. 
Let's not get dopey and nuts and

2334
01:52:45,240 --> 01:52:48,280
just start putting the craziest 
stuff out there, you know? 

2335
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:52,320
You know how Knick fans get, I 
mean, just, you know, try to 

2336
01:52:52,320 --> 01:52:55,400
straddle the line of being 
incredibly pumped up, but also, 

2337
01:52:55,480 --> 01:52:58,240
you know, navigating all the 
other emotions that come like, 

2338
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:00,400
just don't embarrass us on 
social media. 

2339
01:53:00,400 --> 01:53:02,480
You guys have a pretty good way 
of doing that. 

2340
01:53:02,960 --> 01:53:04,560
What is this here? 
What am I reading here? 

2341
01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:08,520
J Rod for the J True. 
Yeah, Shout out to him. 

2342
01:53:08,560 --> 01:53:10,000
I told it's about time he did 
it. 

2343
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:12,960
Give me some drops, man. 
And we got the little harp when 

2344
01:53:12,960 --> 01:53:15,760
B TS get ready to tell a short 
story that somehow turns into a 

2345
01:53:15,760 --> 01:53:18,160
long 1. 
So have an awesome weekend. 

2346
01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:20,080
I can't wait to to get back on 
Monday. 

2347
01:53:20,080 --> 01:53:23,200
Anything pops over the weekend 
that's of a big magnitude, I'll 

2348
01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:25,920
fire up the live show. 
Otherwise I'll catch you Monday 

2349
01:53:25,920 --> 01:53:29,520
at 10, but then go on Wednesday.
Good chance we'll have Aaron 

2350
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,040
Boone next week. 
I don't know what day we've got 

2351
01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:34,200
to settle that. 
Maybe I'm going to reach out to 

2352
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:36,960
Susan Waltman as well. 
Maybe get a maybe do something 

2353
01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:39,600
with the Knicks to guess why. 
So have an awesome day, have an 

2354
01:53:39,600 --> 01:53:42,520
awesome weekend like it 
subscribe it, go check it out. 

2355
01:53:42,520 --> 01:53:45,640
More you guys do the more it 
will grow, the more it will get 

2356
01:53:45,640 --> 01:53:48,320
shared, the more it will bounce 
around the algorithm and the 

2357
01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:51,240
more we will be able to do so. 
I appreciate the calls. 

2358
01:53:51,240 --> 01:53:53,120
I appreciate the chats. 
J Rob be good. 

2359
01:53:53,280 --> 01:53:54,720
I'll catch you guys on Monday. 
Peace.
