I'm not even sure how you describe that.
I I it's just last night was absolutely it was it was
bonkers. It was historically insane.
That is the definition. The really, and I tweeted this
the other day during game. I guess that would have been
game 4. I'm like, take their souls, take
their like, don't take your foot off there.
Last night was the absolute sporting definition of reaching
into your opponent's chest and ripping out their heart and then
stomping on their soul. You know, it's just, it's
really, really challenging to describe what we saw last night,
and you just don't see that in professional sports.
Like that's the kind of thing that, so when I was younger, I
used to always get the USA TODAY, right?
So I would take, I'd have to take two trains to high school.
I've said that a few times, right?
So I, I would have a fairly long ride and I would always have the
New York Post and I would always grab the USA TODAY to get the
national stuff right. And you would see at various
points, like some school in California, I think Reggie
Miller's sister did this, but she was older than me.
So, and you would see, you know, some school, they score 137
points and they went 137 to 9. And then you would have the
discussion, you know, was it too much or, you know, why was this
player still playing like it? It was it was like, it was
almost like such a lopsided AAU game or lower level game.
It did not look like an NBA playoff game.
I mean, what the Knicks pulled off was, I mean, historic.
Just that that that that describes everything, Jay.
I was, I was looking at some of these numbers and I know that
everybody's been inundated with these by now, but maybe a couple
of ones that you haven't seen. There have been 27,964 games,
right, Since 19, since 9697 in the regular season and the
playoffs. And it's the first time ever in
all of those games where the road team got to 100 points
before the home team got to 50. There have been 4550 playoff
games and what the Knicks have done, nobody else has done.
I mean, it was, it was, it was, it was almost boring.
It was almost so good that it was boring.
Yeah, I mean, I can imagine it's probably not a a great game like
did they? So I, I didn't get a chance to
see it. Were they running like Kolek and
those guys to start the second-half?
No, no, the Knick starters played matter of fact.
I what like, you know, 5 or 6 minutes in third quarter I'm
like, why are these guys still playing?
Let's not mess around here. No, but Cole like and and and
all those guys got in Mitch, Mitch Robinson.
This might be one of the most amazing NBA stats as well.
Mitch played 9 minutes a little little scrap last night and I I
do have to say the Knicks have to do a better job of getting
it, like intervening and making like Mitch Robinson seemed
pretty in control. But if that thing escalates an
inch further, I wouldn't surprise if he Mitchell Robinson
throws a punch. And at that point, do you?
Do you follow him on Instagram? I see a lot of his stuff.
I saw what he put out this morning.
Yeah, but I mean, God. But, you know, it's yeah, yeah,
reps on the on the floor. I mean, some of the coaches were
trying, but I mean, the Knick players need to get in there and
and I think deescalate that a little bit better.
Knicks led by as many as 61 and they win by 51 points.
Just imagine if we were getting on the air today and the Knicks
lost by 51. Like just rap maybe, maybe
that's probably the best way to put it.
As good as you feel now, I almost feel like for what I do
for a living, and I've always felt this way.
It's almost always harder to, to truly express what I saw when
it's really, really good versus when it's really, really bad.
Like when it's really, really bad.
That's easy. And in a lot of ways it's fun.
You know, you just get up and everybody's, everybody's
incensed and absolutely bonkers and out of their mind.
And the callers are crazy. And the open to shows is just,
you know, it's a, it's a 7 or 8 minute hit piece.
The monologue is just, you know, you did.
There's dead bodies everywhere. Yeah, I mean it.
This is just platitude after platitude.
It really, really was. It was the most stunning thing
that I've ever seen in my life. Now, it doesn't mean the Knicks
are going to win the championship.
It doesn't mean whether it's the Celtics or the Sixers.
And my boy Jay Rod's got some issues of his own because
suddenly the Celtics can't beat the Sixers.
And now you've got an issue with Jayson Tatum.
And I really hope that he's like Nick, Celtics to Nick.
Potential Nick Celtic stuff aside, I hope Tatum's OK.
I really do what it looks like he's going to be OK.
It's the other calf. But you know, as, as players
have weighed in on this and I've seen a lot of this stuff here,
when you have an injury of the magnitude that he had with his
Achilles and come back as quickly as you do, you know, the
body works in a very funny way. You know, you, you, you
compensate without compensating, without even knowing that you're
compensating. So I, it looks like he's going
to be OK. Nobody's telling.
I, I saw Sham say something this morning that he's telling his
teammates that he's fine. Maybe it's just a cram.
Maybe it's OK. Hopefully it's not a precursor
to anything else. But now the Knicks get back to
they they, Knicks get to chill. Knicks get to sit back, Knicks
get to watch. And the Sixers and the Celtics
get to beat the shit out of each other for another night.
And I don't know who's going to win this game and I'll worry
about that tomorrow. Like I saw my buddy Jerry
Ferrara, right. Many of you know him more as
Turtle from entourage. Yes, Sir, we did about 1520
minutes ago. All right, let's get down to
business. You know, let's let's stop and
and and and he's one of these guys who's probably and I love
him. He's usually more optimistic,
not Ben Stiller level of optimistic, which is at times
delusional, but he's he's one of these guys where he's definitely
more positive than than a lot of big fans and definitely more
positive than than me. But I I totally disagree.
Jerry tweeted out earlier. He's like, hey, that's it,
game's over. Let's no, no, you you can still
enjoy this too today. Today.
We don't have to just automatically, you know, make a
right turn and get into serious mode.
All right, let's get ready for the Celtics of the no, no, that
destruction, that all time epic, colossal ass kicking beat down
that the Knicks administer last night.
Oh, I'm going to revel a little bit.
I'm going to enjoy this year. And as I started, I'm going to I
want to get to Mike Brown. I want to get to cat.
I want to get to OG. Like I'm not going to sit here
for an hour and just wax poetic about the win, although many of
you can do that on the calls on the chats.
But I do want to point out a few things, right.
So as we kind of play all the numbers, I'm I'm sure this has
happened at some point, but I didn't see it.
Nobody really had any info on this.
I'm sure that there's just so many numbers and stats to dig
through. Somebody will get to this today.
Mitch Robinson played 9 minutes, right?
He had a plus minus of plus 29 in 9 minutes.
Just let that resonate for a moment.
Let that marinate. The guy was on the court for
less than 10 minutes and his team outscored the Hawks by
basically 30 points in 9 minutes.
I mean, 3/5 of the start, 60% of the Knicks starters had a plus
minus of over 40 just all time incredible stuff.
Now here's the best part about this, right?
So you look at what's transpired after the game three loss and it
was a lot of it was all right. And I tweeted this too.
Hey, MM Brown, let's see what you got.
Now, I wasn't as critical of the Mike Brown hiring as some all
right, but I also understand he's not Pat Riley.
I mean, you know, I I thought he got screwed by the Kings.
I thought he did some good things as an NBA coach, by the
way, two time coach of the year. And I also like the fact that he
worked in bigger markets. He was in LA.
You know, he was on the bench when the Warriors were winning
through the dynasty. You know, obviously coming to
New York, I didn't think that he would be overwhelmed by the
spotlight or the, you know, that the specter that the Knicks
really are. I like the fact that he was
involved with LeBron early. You know, really at the as
LeBron was taking off. I didn't think that he would be
overwhelmed by New York. But you know, I also wasn't sure
if he was the right guy for this team and I'm still not.
I'm not going nuts here and saying, all right, you know,
couple of games in because I never really had to chain
myself. I never put myself in a position
where I thought the Mike Brown hire was so bad that I, that I
just I, I, I, I didn't like it and I didn't believe I was like,
OK, not my first choice. I would have moved on from Tom
Pivotal. Mike Brown was certainly not my
first choice, but the guy's got a pretty decent resume.
Let's see where this goes. And then, you know, you had some
issues in training camp where Cat was trying to figure out his
role and then, you know, while he hadn't fully figured out his
role, that happened in the last month or so.
And he has been phenomenal, man. The guy took five or six shots
last night and he had a triple double.
I mean, he's along with Wilt. Think about this.
Wilt Chamberlain, aside from Cat, is the only 7 footer or
more in NBA playoff history with a triple double.
Nobody else has done it and Carl Anthony Towns has.
So I do think that after the Knicks won the, the Cup and then
there was that downspill in, in, in performance and then, you
know, really at the end of the year, they, they beat the teams
they were supposed to. They lost some games.
I'm like, I, I didn't know what the Knicks were coming into the
playoffs here. And I don't know that they knew
who they really were, which was terrifying because it's not like
a team put together for the first time.
Hart's been here, Brunson's been here.
Mitch has been here. You 2 year 2 for Cat.
Obviously Deuce has been here, Bridges has been here, OG who
has OG Anobi has been phenomenal and OG he's been here a couple
of years. So when when you see these
setbacks or when you see these, these long periods of, of, of
confused play, guys not really knowing roles, the rotation not
fully set, stars not really knowing what's asked to them.
It's worrisome because the window for the Knicks is now and
the pressure is still here. Like if the Knicks get whacked
by the Celtics or if the Knicks get whacked by the Sixers,
despite what's happened the last couple of games here, Mike
Brown's got to go. And then we will have the
conversation about Goddess. Now, it might not be as one
sided as it would have been if Cat didn't start playing
incredibly well and distinguishing himself as a very
different type of asset for the Knicks moving forward.
I mean I was at the point I couldn't wait for him to leave.
But I have always tried to comport myself this way doing
what I do when there is evidence like I could have.
I can eviscerate somebody, I can have a scolding hot take when I
am presented this just the way I operate.
It's not a flip flop. It's a re evaluation.
When I am given evidence to the contrary of my previous thought,
well then I'm going and it can't just be a one off.
It can't be one game because that's a flip flop.
But when there's sustained evidence and mounting evidence
that something is changing or someone is changing the inner of
a team or the way a player embraces his role or does not
embrace his role and or perform well, then I've got the freedom
to kind of change my take a little bit here.
So things have changed in a big way, at least for now.
But understand guys like, you know, the Knicks lost
back-to-back games to the Hawks and they put themselves in a
position where, all right, you know, you really shouldn't be in
this position in round one. You know, you shouldn't be here
like that. The Knicks were supposed to be
one of the main players in the league and now they finally look
like they are Denver. Denver's done.
Like Denver's out. The Celtics very well might be
out. And by the way, I don't the more
I think about this and I'm not going to get too deeply into
this now because I do want to enjoy the win.
I got some baseball stuff for you as well.
But the like the I don't even know if I'd rather face the
Celtics or the Sixers. I, I don't know, you know, And
again, I'm, I'm not. Yeah.
I got a good answer, I got a easy answer for you.
You'd rather play the Celtics as you'll beat the shit out of us.
Yeah, you might be right. It's funny, I I hear you like
Embiid, when he's right, presents all sorts of different
problems. Maxi's a handful, Edgecomb is
really good and the Celtics are incredibly reliable on the
three-point shot. Either way, this is just one of
those all time phenomenal days as a Knick fan.
If you can't enjoy today, like if you can't let this kind of
linger and not get too wrapped up and maybe some previous takes
that you had, I don't know what to tell you because I am I'm
we're having a party on this show today.
All right, welcome to unleashed year.
Today's show was always brought to you by my friends at Sullivan
prepaid. Of course, find them on a lot of
trollo1.com. That's trollo1.com.
Remember the name Sullivan Propane and by preview sausage
premium all the way sausage should be find them at
premiumfoods.com or in your local grocery store.
Now understand what's happened here right.
So when they lost game 3, this is this is one of the more
impressive things I've seen from a nick playoff run in a while.
OK, you lose Game 2. All right, you know a little
circumstantial Hulks got hot whatever they didn't play a
great game. They played a good quarter kind
of the same deal in game three since then, all right, The
Knicks had a 16 point Rd. win, they had a 29 point home blowout
win, and they had a historic 51 point Rd. knockout.
I mean, if that's not answering the bell, if that's not
responding to adversity, I don't know what is.
They had a 41 to 5 run, they had a 63 to 11 run, and they scored
sixty points before the Hawks scored 20.
Just incredible stuff, absolutely mind bending stuff
and it's awesome. So Knick fans, yeah, you bet
your ass we're feeling good today.
Everybody's pumped up and this is what you want.
And this is really what I was worried about when the Knicks
lost that early game in Game 2 with the Garden.
I'm like, alright, I was never worried about beating the Hawks
initially, and you guys know this.
Initially I said Atlanta in five and then I said, yeah, right
before the series started, I said I'm feeling more Knicks in
six. We happen to nail that.
So if you guys listen to that and put a little future bet on
that, you're welcome. But what when they lost that
second game? I'm like, you know, all right, I
know they're going to store. I strongly believe that they're
going to win the series. But you know, what is the
residual impact downstream? Nick's going to have to play a
deep, probably play a deeper series then you want to play.
And then, you know, based on the way the Celtics played in game
one, sitting there saying, all right, you know, are the Celtics
going to handle business here? Like, what's going to happen?
Early on, I didn't see the Sixers coming out and presenting
this sort of resistance and, you know, making like the Celtics
right now. I mean, they're scrambling.
They are in scramble mode. So the Knicks get a leg up #1
whether it's Josh Hart's back, whether it's, you know, Jalen
Brunson's ankle, which always seems to be jacked up.
You know, OG has had some soft tissue issues over the years,
the hamstring, you know, going back to that Pacer series, which
they would have won a couple of years back.
If he doesn't, you know, if his if his hamstring doesn't shred,
you get a chance to chill, relax, feel good about yourself,
advance scout and really be locked in for that game one.
We'll see if it's Philly Knicks hosted.
If it's Celtics, they're on the road.
So it is really, really good. It is really, really fun And
here we are. But yet you can't help but
notice the difference in this screen.
And that was I pop my Guy J Rod back in that screen, look at
that face. I know he's.
I know. He's I'm.
I. Mean I'm honestly trying to
smile like I'm actually pissed I mean they're the Celtics are
we'll get more wait read this chat first it's from our guy
let. Me, let me take care of the
chat. What do we got?
A little super chat. Obviously super chats always
take priority at Mitch. under score.
I under score and appreciate that Mitch, thank you very much.
BT look at the head gets interesting.
Still believe Boston's better compared to Philly, but Knicks
are built to match up better with Boston.
I do agree with that aspect. So who do you want Hannah?
It's my boy Mitch. Yeah, that's what I was saying
there. You go, Hannah wants to pass the
sugar. That is my guy Mitch, who we had
on the show last week. That is our girl Hannah, who's
become the number one fan in the world.
Their story is amazing. Mitch, I, I, I, I know, I, I saw
your your highlights last night. I mean, you should be calling
some of these games, man, you really should be.
And I saw Hannah. She was enjoying this just man,
I mean, it's just it's beautiful thing.
So make sure you got you follow them on Instagram for those very
quickly. For those of you who don't know
the story, Hannah was involved in an an incredibly serious car
crash where she was T boned on the drive on the passenger side,
had traumatic brain injury and didn't know if she was going to
make it altered her life, unfortunately forever.
Mitch and his older sister Haley.
Mitch, if I if I had that name wrong, I'm sorry.
I believe it's Haley. I've just got so many names in
my head right. I believe it's Haley and Haley
wound the passing away from cancer and as a as a tandem,
they made the decision because the doctors presented Mitch with
one of two options. You know, we, we, we can keep
her alive. I mean, this is real stuff here,
man. We can, we can keep her alive
and her her life will will never be remotely what it was, but she
will be alive. Or you know, the the other
option is, is you know, you know what the other option is.
And Mitch, along with his sister, made the amazing
selfless sibling decision to do whatever it takes to care for
her and keep her alive. So what Mitch started and he
didn't even know that this was going to happen.
He just, you know, he he studied journalism in college.
He's got a great voice. He calls a great game.
And he basically just kind of noticed that when he was messing
around watching the Knicks and then kind of calling some games,
having some fun, that it would spark something and Hannah, it
would spark a reaction. And from that, this was born.
And every single game, all 82 regular season games on
Instagram, every playoff game, obviously on Instagram, Mitch
sits there with a microphone and calls the game for his younger
sister, who was right next to him.
And, and it, you know, in, in a, in a state that is just
heartbreaking. I, when I had Mitch on on the
show last week, I, I, I started choking up.
I mean, it's, it's that kind of a story.
So Mitch, you did not have to, I mean, super chat.
Stop, dude. You get you come on the show
whenever you want and I will have you back on to actually
talk about the Knicks when we know who the round two opponent
is and all that stuff. But that's, that's the origin of
the, of the Mitch and or should say the Hannah and the Mitch
story. And, you know, I've read a lot
of things and I believe what I believe.
Listen, I've I've made mistakes. I'm I'm certainly far from
perfect, but I am definitely a man of faith.
But that's the kind of stuff that test you, you know, like
the depth of the character and the depth of the of the
selflessness. I mean Mitch has basically put
his entire world on on hold because it had a requires 24
hours a daycare. So it's just amazing, Mitch, I
really hope you're enjoying this man.
You, you deserve this more day and we and we all deserve this.
You know, as Nick fans here, we absolutely deserve this.
All right, so, so Jay, let's just again, here I am smiling.
I know Jay's trying to force a little rise smile, but you know,
because he said deep down he's terrified.
No, he's Celtics. I don't know.
I mean, he's Celtics. So here's the thing, and
honestly, I'm going to bring some commenters into this, some
comments I've seen on Unleash because all right, first,
yesterday I see a comment. It goes, J Rod, what are you
upset about? The Celtics won a championship
two seasons ago. Wrong answer.
Keep. Going, dude, are you kidding me?
Like what? I'm a even if your team won a
championship the day before, you should still be just as riled
up. If you've watched any of this
show, you know, that's a big, you know, a big a big, what's
the word commandment BT stands on?
So that's one obviously going to be fired up about the Celtics,
especially when for how many years.
And it's kind of it's it's tapered down a little bit as
time has gone on. But 3-4 seasons ago, Jaylen
Brown, Jayson Tatum future dynasty.
It's not a dynasty and it never will be it.
Never. Will be, you know, great.
We got that one chip. The weakest championship since
2018. A championship run that does not
feel good. Great.
We won it. You know, we beat the Dallas
Mavericks in six. They were horrible.
And and this year you finally get a chance to see some
adversity. Jason Tatum comes back.
It's time to make a great story out of this season.
Oh my God, the comeback. Joe Missoula, likely the coach
of the year, Brad Stevens, executive of the year.
It's time to make a real run. Done, done.
The life is out of them. The the needle has been put into
the basketball. We do not have a center.
We, I mean, first, we don't have a center who can handle and
beat. Hold on a second.
I I let me cut to the chat.
Are you pronouncing the Celtics dead?
Oh, I I think we're losing Game 7, which is a black, which may
be a blasphemous thing for a fan of a team to say no.
It's realistic. I OK.
Realistically, I do not take us in game seven.
I think, I think the tires been popped.
I really do. I think Game 7 maxi's going to
come out juiced up. And see that.
Like, you know, he's, he's biting the Celtics for the past
10 years, we've done nothing but smack Philly in the playoffs.
And now you've got your chance. You've got your team to take us
down. It's it's happening.
It's going to happen. It's.
By the way, Jay, I love what you say because I do.
There's a commandment of the show here.
I don't care how much you won, whether you're a Yankee fan or,
you know, a Cowboy fan back in the day or a Steeler fan back in
the day, or a Patriots fan this century, or the Warriors with
their most recent dynasty, like to me, it doesn't matter.
Now I will say this some the wins like the first one is
always different, like prom night, first one's different,
you know what I mean? So the first one's going to
always resonate and it's going to be like when the Yankees won
it in 96 and I was there for that.
And that was the first one that I that I saw.
It wasn't what I told you. I wasn't.
I was too young and 77 and 78. So when they won and that final
out and I was in the upper deck right behind home plate.
And when Charlie Hayes caught that ball by the dugout, by the
Braves dugout, my my like my road map to whether or not it
was caught or not wasn't if I saw him catch it because I
couldn't because of where I was in the old stadium.
I was up and he was kind of pinched in.
It was the reaction right? And I will I do unless, you
know, when The Jets win and when the Knicks win, that'll that'll
be different. And if St.
John's ever wins the championship tour.
But the then then winning in 98. It was amazing and it was
awesome. And then winning in like awesome
2000 Mets different energy, awesome for different reasons.
But now it's back-to-back to back nine.
OK, But the first one, I I do think that the first one's
always going to feel different. But that doesn't mean that the
ensuing losses at the highest level shouldn't hurt and that
you shouldn't process it in a very deep way.
Because when the Yankees lost in 2001 on that broken bad base hit
up the middle against the Diamondbacks off MO, I was
crushed. I was, I remember being, and now
a lot of that was with 911 and it was a different, yeah,
different emotions. But I sat there and I on my
couch and I, I don't think I moved for 5 minutes.
I was just, I had my hands like I was just, I just, I couldn't
unpack that one. And I did definitely 911 was a
big reason for that. But yeah, I think that when
people say and I I can't stand this, oh, come on, you guys have
won so much. Yeah, certain teams have won a
lot, but the emotional and the financial commitment by the true
fans of that fan base that does win a lot doesn't make it easier
when they lose. Maybe from your purview on the
outside, look it in, but when you're on the front lines, it's
not. That's just not the way it goes.
So I do agree with what you just said there.
I get it. Yeah, no, I mean, I guess All in
all though, Game 7 not predicting a a victory.
I think Embiid and Maxi are going to tear into US.
I think I don't even want to say it.
I don't even want to say it like I think the cat Embiid matchup
will be great next round and screw out Horford.
He jumps ship at the at the slightest sight of adverse.
It it's amazing though, I mean, really, and again, the numbers
are what the numbers are. But my biggest take away from
this series aside from the historic takedown and it's just
what you'll just never forget this.
I mean, you really, you don't forget many playoff big wins or
losses if you're a real fan. But I mean, this is different.
This one will be referenced forever.
I mean, your kids and my kids, kids, kids, kids.
I mean, there's a really good chance that they will never see
this again. I ever because it never happened
like this before. But my big take away is the
response by the New York Knicks. They lose Game 2, all right.
And then you you don't look good in Game 3.
And now all of a sudden it's like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa. The ice is getting a little
thin. The noise is getting a little
louder. The pressure is getting ramped
up. And now you're starting to
envision because we talked about it on the show.
So I mean, if they don't get their act together and if they
don't win three games, this is going back obviously a week or
so ago and leading up to to last night.
If they don't handle business, new coach cat gun wrecking Bolta
team not good enough. This course is never going to
win a championship. Like, it's one thing to lose in
five or six in the NBA Finals and be overmatched or even lose
in like, say, 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals.
But when if the Knicks would have lost in Round 1?
And I never thought that they would, even when they were down
in the series. But just because I feel one way
doesn't mean that they're going to necessarily respond and
mirror what I was thinking that they would do.
And they did 16 point Rd. win, 29 point home win, 51 point Rd.
win back-to-back to back. So if there's any doubts about
the character of the Knicks or the connectivity of the Knicks
or what the ceiling of the Knicks could look like, that is
now over. We have seen it and that's good.
Now, when you flip the coin over, this is now the standard
that we will hold you to and that's the way it's supposed to
be for a team that is trying to win a championship.
You know what I mean? Like the Yankee state, Think
about the Yankee standard all these years, like the Yankees
have pumped out under Boone, you know, 99 wins, 99 wins, 9594.
Like they're always going to win night and they're going to do it
again this year. But the standard is a
championship. And you know, there's varying
degrees of of belief in some of these recent Yankee teams.
There's AI think a higher level of belief in this particular
Yankee team really based on the starting pitching and some other
stuff. But the the evaluation of of the
Yankees is is is one thing. OK, but I even think this is
going to sound counterintuitive. I think that the evaluation of
this Knicks team should even be more harsh.
I'm going to tell you why, because when we talk about the
Yankees in in totality, the Cashman, you know, the Cashman
angle, the boot angle, the narrative around Judge, can you
be an old time Yankee? Can you be a Ruth?
Can you be a Garrett? Can you be a Damaggio?
Can he be a Jeter? Can he be one of those guys?
Can he be an A rod at 09 without a championship?
And I've got my thoughts and and you have yours and, and it is
what it is, right? But the Yankees, the last X
amount of years have been very imperfectly built.
This Knicks team has everything that you need.
The only thing that we don't know, and we're getting, be
beginning to get some more answers to the positive here.
Do they have the right coach? And I'm not about to say that
they absolutely do. I'm not saying that, but I'm
certainly not saying that they don't.
And then, of course, the evolution of Carl Anthony Towns.
Massive props to that guy because I don't know, outside of
Carmelo Anthony, who I've hammered right, there has not
been a nick that I've been as critical of as Carl Anthony
Towns. And you know, this and this goes
back to my days on the fan where I just, you know, I thought he
was a little soft or a little sloppy or a little slow.
You know, we have now seen aggressive cat.
We have now seen confident cat. We have now seen incredibly what
we usually see a fishing cat. Even with the issues I've had
with him, even go back to Minnesota, he was always
efficient. You know, 40% from the from
downtown, 80% from the strike, 50% from the field, All Stars,
all NBA. See that the micro analysis of
somebody like Karl Anthony Towns is only there because of his
immense skill set. You know, when you're 7 feet and
you could just flick it like a nerf ball from 25 feet away.
You know, not like you Steph Curry, but you know, pretty damn
good and you're you shoot free throws basically like Larry Bird
or somebody like or Mark Price, somebody like that where Mullen
who basically never misses. We want more, we demand more and
the the growth. It's almost like it's funny.
He's from here, right? He grew up here in the tri-state
area, goes to Kentucky, goes to Minnesota, but it's almost like
it took him being kicked around to dig down deep and and and and
and rediscover or pull out a deeper level of that.
New York, New Jersey. Excuse me?
New York, New Jersey. Great.
You know what I mean? And he has responded the way you
want somebody to respond. There were two choices.
Put your head in the sand and just slink around.
Or you know what? All right, my coach is not using
me properly. So I'm going to do what I can do
to impact winning. And currently, I watched this
press conference last night, so I went right over to MSG as I
often do during the playoffs. And it was Pete Owen and of
course Alan Hahn and wildly Zerbiak.
And those guys are great. I've known I've known Alan
forever and I know Wally a little bit.
They're great, right? And they rolled into the press
conferences. Mike Brown spoke and and Brunson
spoke on the court with with with Monica was it who's really
good? I like Monica too.
And Cat was like, you know, I'm just all about winning.
Like his answers were so perfect it but you know, I, I, I thought
and I think that I'm mistaken here.
I've thought, and I've always thought that once you get to a
certain point as a pro that the development kind of stops.
Like after a while, it kind of are what you are, whether it's
physically or mentally, right. But this dude's hit a new level.
He has hit a new level and he's done it amidst some of the most
scathing criticism that any Nick has ever had in my lifetime,
really. So, I mean, just massive ups to
him. Massive props to the Knicks.
Absolute demolition, destruction, soul snatching,
beat down, ass kicking. All right, there's a little Ric
Flair for you. Whoa.
All right, let's get to the calls here.
What do we got there, J Rod, let's go.
We've got Benji from Upper East Side.
Oh, he's got to be feeling nice, Benji.
What's going on, brother? What's up?
BT could not wait to call in today.
That was just a remarkable, epic performance.
My young kids who were 7:00 and 9:00, my boys, they were
watching the game last night in amazement, not so much of the
game, but just looking at the score and seeing 60 to 19.
And they said we cannot believe what is happening at this
moment. So that was.
Just epic stuff. Well, well, Benji.
So last time my daughter had a softball game which I coached.
So we ended in time and then my son had a pitching lesson about
15 minutes away. So my wife took him to, I
usually take him there. My wife took him last night
because, you know, I wanted to get back and #1 I had to finish
coaching the game, but she knew it was Nick's time, right?
So I actually missed the 1st 7 or 8 minutes of the game.
And I re and you know, I put it on, I rewind it.
I'm like, holy shit, is this actually really happening?
And then my son text me from the, from the car.
He's like, is there something wrong with the score on the CBS
Sports app? I'm like, Nope, this is real.
And he walked in the house. He's like, wow.
I mean, so your kids are basically my kids age.
And I mean, they're not going to see this one again.
I mean, I know I'm certainly not going to see this again and
they're not going to see this against the kind of night it
was. It was incredibly special.
So we got to soak in these three days of nonstop praise that our
heroes are going to get. Just a quick, couple quick notes
on the game. So First off, on March 6th, the
Knicks won by 39 in Denver. It was at that moment and I and
you can check my timeline at this moment into I posted on
Twitter. This was the vision.
This was a game where the Knicks destroyed a good tempered team
without that I thought was overrated all season.
Now we're seeing that they're heading to Cancun.
Good riddance. OG had 34 in that game.
It showed when everybody fulfills their role and plays it
to a tee. This team ceiling is to win a
title and I saw that on March 6th and A and a seemingly
harmless Friday night game that we could do that.
A couple quick notes on the opponent here.
I mean, obviously OG and Kat were were out of this world in
this series. I thought Alvarado.
Yep. In the limited minutes last
night, this guy's getting a steal, falling out of bounds,
and he's diving with a guy who. This guy is one of the most
fearless athletes at his size that I've ever seen.
He's a. Warrior man, love him.
He's I know you. You've always loved him.
So it's great to see Kat getting all the historic praise and
stuff like that for next round. Philly, OK, we get we get the we
get the pleasure of being able to sit back and roll and enjoy
these games with without the pressure of it mattering to us.
OK, we're just sitting back as spectators here.
So Boston presents issues, but I think they're not as good A-Team
as they were last season. Last season they had Cornet and
from a defensive standpoint he gave Cat issues.
If you recall, he had one of his probably the best game of his
career in that series, Cornett. Exactly.
So with Philly, couple quick things here.
What worries me, I'm not worried, right, because I think
we can beat anybody. What worries me is.
You've. Talked about this before.
Cat doesn't have a great ability to control his body.
So we all know Embiid flops around like a fish on the floor
and and Cat just given his size and just how he contorts his
body, that creates an issue from a foul trouble standpoint.
So that's the biggest worry for me.
I would put OG on him and we've OG have success.
In fact, swat one of his shots early in the season aimed down
in Philly. So I really think that is the
move 'cause we cannot have any foul tribute trouble issues with
Cat. Well, I will say with Embiid,
Embiid obviously is is he's a tremendous issue for any team,
but he's not shooting the three nearly as well as he has
historically. He was 2 for 16 from three in
this so far in this series. And Edgecomb as well is having a
major issue shooting the three ball in this series.
Quentin Grimes, I don't know your feelings on him.
I think he is absolute garbaggio.
I think this guy is and I liked him for.
A minute with the Knicks, I'm like, oh, when they got when
they moved on, I'm like, I thought he was a three and like,
I like Grimes and I'm sure a lot of Knick fans were with me, but
no, I'm not worried about Quentin Grimes.
That's for sure. Right.
So that that's the that's. Really the extent of their
bench. So from that standpoint, Philly
is very thin off the bench. Boston has a little bit more
because Pritchard can come out and he can give you 30.
He's shown that in a big playoff game and he's a major matchup
issue. So I think I think there's
there's two sides of it. I think Philly, the thing that
would make them a tougher match up for us is the fact that Max,
he doesn't seem to be able to be guarded at all.
And we've seen that he gets right by Bronson.
There's no issue. He gets he terrifies me.
Yep. He's good.
He's very good. Well, listen, I mean, those are
a lot of things there, Benj. I got you, man.
I got you, brother. So.
All right, thanks. All right, Thanks, man.
Let's. Let's let's try to make this,
this old rendezvous happen and let's let's get down to it.
We're getting close. Let's go.
That a boy. Benji, appreciate you.
I mean, the other thing too. Thanks for the call.
The other thing too is like if it is Philly, you know, Nick
fans are taking the building over again because it's happened
before. So that would be a lot of fun to
see. Yeah.
I mean, Maxi is is tricky for sure.
I mean, he's I think he's awesome, but you know, we could
get into the matchups when we know exactly who the Knicks are
going to play. I mean, the one thing that I
will say, obviously with this, this issue with with Tatum, with
with the calf, the non surgically repaired leg from the
ruptured Achilles, you know, that that could be an issue.
And I'm not rooting for that because I've got I've got great.
I I want to yeah, I just don't root for injury.
I just, I think that's ridiculous.
Some of you do when I just I think you're tempting fate.
I never root for injury. Somebody's down.
I want to see him get up, even if it's going to complicate my
team. That's just the way I I wasn't
always like that, to be fair, but I think I've grown that way
as I've gotten older. But we talk about physical
reliability. Let's say it is Philly, all
right? I mean, can you really bank on
and beat? I know we would have a couple of
games where he'd go bonkers and he's not hitting the three the
way he usually does. You're right.
I would think that that would change, but I mean, I I wouldn't
have much of an issue rolling the dice on indeed being healthy
for two weeks straight and playing high level, high energy,
intense playoff basketball without some sort of physical
malfunction. I mean, it really doesn't happen
with him, you know, plus you get the whole Mitch and and indeed,
you know, that little dynamic there as well.
Stay off the bandwagon. What, what is this guy talking
about? Stay off the bandwagon after
game three. I wanted Brown fired.
Brunt keep this up. I'm going to attack this point
by point. Brunson slander now the Knicks
or finals bounce. Stay off the bandwagon.
The first of all Tony, you don't.
You don't tell me what to do. I memo to Tony.
I don't know how old you are and I respect your passion.
Tap the brakes buddy. I've been rooting for the Knicks
since the early 80s. Relax #1 #2 pointing out
deficiency maybe in your overly optimistic, you know, fanboy
world, pointing out, you know, deficiencies for certain players
is not slanderous. It's called #1 doing my job and
#2 being real, calling it the way it is.
So yes, if if you interpret what I said about Jaylen Brunson
being too ball dominant, monopolizing the ball, settling
for some bad shots, not getting everybody involved, if that's
what you hear when I say that, well, then that's a youth thing.
That's Brett. I can promise it's not a beef
thing. Because the real Knick fans, the
and I'm not saying you're not rooting for the Knicks.
I don't. I'm not trying to go nuts on you
here, but like the Knick fans who are able to balance fandom
with practicality and like realism.
That's been an issue kind of all year for Jaylen Brunson.
He just gets shot happy and he goes shot hunting.
And there's a reason why outside of Isaiah Thomas, there's been
exactly 1 player at his position and his size that has been able
to lead his team to a championship.
It just doesn't happen much, you know?
And as much as I love Jaylen Brunson and I love him, Jaylen
Brunson is not Isaiah Thomas. So tap them.
All right #1 what else do we say here?
I never once said fire Brown. I didn't say that after game
three. Listen, I do appreciate you
pushing back and I appreciate the Super chat as well, but you
can't mince my words. What I have always said is if
the, and I've said this during the year, I said this going into
the season, if the Knicks don't at least get to the conference
finals, then Mike Brown will be fired and Cat will be shipped
out. Now, if you got an issue with
that, I'm sorry. That's the way I feel.
Then I still feel that way. Like if the Knicks play like ass
in round two and they lose in five or six, and there's this
regression, which I don't expect by the way, because I do think
that they discovered a new, like a new DNAI think the Knicks have
clearly evolved and grown and they are absolutely more
connected. And the head coach deserves
credit on that. And I'm going to give Mike Brown
the credit for that. But if Round 2 is the complete
antithesis of what we just watched, well, then I'll say the
same thing. And then you can send in a super
chat. Maybe you could double the price
and you can say what with what you're saying today, the
difference will be I will be right.
It will happen. Mike Brown will be fired.
And depending upon how Jaylen Brunson plays, Jaylen Brunson
will be hit hard. That's called expectations,
dude. So there is to it.
Come on. Hey, he doubled it.
He doubled it. Oh.
He's coming at me here. How about this tone, Tony?
How about you call me? Let's.
Let's get after it. Let's go get him up first.
Now, maybe Tony's at work. Maybe Tony can't call.
And if you can't, Tony, I respect it.
And I'll let you talk. I'm not going to shout you down.
Let me listen. If you want to keep sending me
money, we could do that whole day as well.
I won't take another chat here. It's a youth thing.
Panicking after three games, and now you look dumb.
Brunson's the best Nick playoff performer since Clyde.
OK, You're a little younger, so you're leaning on the history.
I didn't see Clyde play. Based on that chat, that
comment, I don't think that you saw Bernard King play.
And that's OK because you're you're, you know, you're a
product of when you were born and you were victim of when you
were born to an extent with certain things.
I remember watching Bernard King average 42 1/2 points against
the Pistons with the flu. OK.
And with multiple broken fingers.
Go to YouTube after BT Unleashed, of course, and type
in Bernard King Pistons 83. You will see on both hands
multiple fingers taped together because they were busted.
You will see Louis or you know before the before the MJ flu
game. You will see Louis or rest in
peace, good guy. You will see Louis Orr and like
Rory Sparrow and Hubie Brown and Bill Cartwright and Trent Tucker
and Darryl Walker basically helping Bernard King to the
bench because Bernard King had 103 fever and he still dropped
43 points on the Pistons and won.
And then the next series against one of the greatest teams in the
history of the NBA, the Celtics, with Byrd, with Mikhail, with
Parrish, Right. You saw Cornbread Maxwell say
that that Bernard King would not score 30 again in that series.
Anthony went off in one of the games early and Bernard King, he
was right. He didn't go for 30.
He dropped the 40 spot down their throat and the Celtics won
by in in in seven games and the Knicks.
Just think about some of the names I mentioned, Rory Sparrow,
Trent Tucker, Darryl Walker. Think about the Bernard King,
Louis Orr. Again, not this, not to
disrespect those guys, but yet nobody and nobody.
And he went toe to toe with Bird.
Even Larry Bird at that point said this guy's, this dude's
this is the best player I've ever seen.
It's unstoppable. Now we wound up saying the same
thing about Jordan a couple of years later.
So, you know, just call in, cut the nonsense, call in, stop with
the chats, call in. Yeah, no, I mean I've.
Sent I've now sent the link a bunch of times.
Go come on man. This please.
Don't you guys know by now that this is my favorite part of
doing this? I love this.
And we're going to be respectful, unless of course,
you're not, which I think you will be.
We're going to get after it because what you're saying is
not, it's not accurate. That's not what I said.
And I've got mountains of videos and shorts and clips to prove
it. So I will just drop the mic
there a little bit. Very soft at least.
I'm not looking to drop the mic, but I will.
I will place the microphone down and I will move on to the next
issue here, the next item. And if Tony calls in, and I hope
he does, we'll see what happens. All right, You know what I'm
saying, Jay. Yes, Sir.
Yeah. Come.
On man come. On I do have let me at least
we're going to get a lot of Nick calls here.
Obviously I do have a few other things that I want to get into.
Can you slap the the full screen tweet that I sent you this
morning that I sent out yesterday?
This is just can you look at that, Look at that, the 1962
Mets, the lovable, amazing Mets, right?
And they were an expansion team. Nobody's trying to dog him here.
Casey Stengel, you know those guys, right?
That was among the most wretched teams in the history of
baseball, going well over 100 years.
The 62 Mets started 12 and 19 the 2026 Mets.
Or worse. Now, to be fair to the 2026
Mets, not that they deserve it, the 1962 Mets did lose their
next 17 after that, and they went 40 and won 20.
And they were one of the three worst teams literally of all
time in the history of baseball. But that just illuminates right
there. You can take it off there, Jay,
where the Mets are another blown lead, another loss.
Like, I mean, I'm just, I'm, I'm running out of things to say
here, man. You know, 9 days ago where 10
days ago I was saying, all right, you're getting a gift
here for the schedule gods, right?
So I knew the Mets were scuffling, but I, I didn't think
that I didn't think it would morph into this, you know, when
they've got the worst, they're the worst team in baseball.
And I said, gift, you've got to receive this from the baseball
gods. The Twins, the Rockies and the
Nationals all coming into Queens. 9 games, a chance to
stabilize your season. Go seven and two, All right, If
you're not up for that, 9, go six and three.
Hell, go five and four. They would just end the noise
here. No, they go 3:00 and 6:00 and
they have lost 17 of 20. And I just really don't know
what to tell you because what I'm not going to do, I'm not
going to get on this show every day and just hit the low hanging
fruit there. There comes a point where the
target is so easy. And it, it, it's, it's no longer
fun because now it becomes now it goes to a spot that I'm not
trying to go to. So I am not trying to humiliate
Carlos Mendoza. I, I mean, I'm not trying to
humiliate anybody really. Yet that's never been my thing.
But if I'm Carlos Mendoza, I mean, I'm, I'm basically saying
just Get Me Out of here. Please put me out of my misery.
I can't do this anymore. Now, I understand that the
roster is horrendous. We all know that, right?
But can somebody explain to me why last night or yesterday?
All right, Soto has a lead off double.
It's the 8th inning. You pull Melendez, who had, who
was batting third, who's hitting 345 since the Mets pulled them
up from the minors, right, man, I'm not saying he's Keith
Hernandez in the three hole, but he's outside of Soto.
He's the only regular that is currently he's, he's actually,
he's the only other player besides Soto on the roster right
now with an OPS over 7, not over 8 / 700 hits, a three run bomb.
You're like, all right, here we go.
Mets will find a way to win this, right?
And then he as a single has a couple of hits and he let him
hit earlier in the game against a lefty and he pinch hits Austin
Slater for him, who just got here and who stinks.
And people tell me it's not. It's not Carlos Mendoza's fault,
and I know it's not all his fault.
You could only hit the levers that you are given the
opportunity to to hit or the buttons that you're given a
chance to push. It's obviously sterns his fault
for this wreck of a roster, but Mendoza doesn't make it better.
He just doesn't. Don't give me the lefty left.
It just don't give me that. Let him swing the stick.
Nobody's hitting you willingly. Not because of injury.
You know, it's not like they're bringing Mariano in.
You know, you willingly sat down to do who had a three run Homer
and is playing very well for somebody that will not be here
in a month. That's what you did.
So I mean, the defensive Carlos Mendoza at this point to be is
comical. But again, I'm going to stop
there because it's too easy and I don't want to be that guy.
And I'm not trying to rub it in. This is one of the saddest
seasons of any New York team that I have seen in any sport.
It's that bad. I mean, are they going to win
some games eventually? I I mean, everybody does in
baseball. Even the shittiest teams win two
in a row or three in a row. And we talked about this
yesterday. It's it's got to be the hope.
And he's trying. I mean, every game he's banging
out some hits, you know, but it's not basketball where MJ
could go and get 50 and will, you know, those early Bulls
teams before they became championship teams to some wins
or or the eight spot in the playoffs and drop 60 something
against Byrd Celtics. You know, there's only so much
Juan Soto could do. He's hitting now, now that the
rust is gone. And as we talked about
yesterday, he's even taking a position to leadership, whether
it's about Lendor, you know, the friction with Lendor, the
perceived friction. You know, they don't get along.
Whatever. Opening day didn't really shake
hands. Everybody made a big deal of
that. At least Soto is saying the
right things about where the after the win the other night,
where they're going to be, where they're going to be in the end.
At least. I I appreciate that he's trying
to exert, you know, his his powers and his leadership.
So the Mets situation, it's just it's heinous.
Like that's the word that it's heinous.
You know, I got to get one more thing on the Mets in a second.
I'll read that in a moment. You know, let me get to this
here because I don't want to spend a lot of time on the Mets
here. 17 of 20. Wow, 28th and batting average
dead lasted on base percentage, dead last and slugging 29th and
runs it. I mean, it's just bad.
So Luke Weaver, right? I'm not going to clown.
I know some people like having fun with this.
Like, you know, the Mets take the Yankees trash.
Like it's just as I've always said, that stuff doesn't
interest me to me. It's it for me, it's juvenile.
Like I'm not going to lean into that.
I'm not saying I won't take a little Barb at the Mets here and
there when some of the Mets fans get a little overly rambunctious
because, you know, it just gets annoying after a while.
But like, I don't look to play that game with great frequency.
I really don't, you know, but Luke Weaver, former Yankee,
obviously Clay Holmes has been pretty good and and some other
former Yankees brought in. So Luke Weaver had a very long
press conference after the game, very introspective, very smart
guy talking about how I paraphrase here.
It's just way too long to play it.
It was long and he was very honest and I appreciate that.
He's like, listen, I really thought about what I was going
to even say to you guys. Try to anticipate the questions
that you were going to. He gave up a home run, of
course, and he's been horrible this year, but he owns it,
right? He does own it and I appreciate
that. But he he also said, you know,
it was mostly about the team, but pertaining to himself.
I thought he went in a direction that is just not consistent with
who he's been as a major leaguer like you would.
And he was very I want to be cool.
He was humble, he was raw, he was honest, he was thoughtful,
he was introspective, all those things.
So I'm not looking to clown him. But I also thought he missed the
mark a little bit here when he was talking about himself.
I mean, Luke Weaver has been in baseball for 11 years.
He's been on seven teams, all right.
The Diamondbacks, his ERA was 4.72.
The Cardinals, it was 4.79. The Reds, it was 6.87.
The Royals, it was 5.59. Seattle, it was 6 point O 8.
The Mets so far, it's a flat 6. And with the Yankees, otherwise
his career ERA would be well over 5.
Was a very serviceable 3.22. And at certain points he was
outstanding. Took the closest role as we
know, you know, but he was saying some things.
I'm like, does this guy realize that he's he's barely a Major
League pitcher? Like, look at your stats, dude.
It's not one or two years. It's your entire career.
So world of issues for the Mets, world of issues.
I want to get some Yankee stuff in a minute.
Let's get back to the calls, Jay.
What do we got? Got our boy.
John from Fort Hood, OK has my. Has my adversary called in yet,
Tony? No, he is not all.
Right, Tony, the the. The invites out there, buddy.
John, is he he? He's ready to roll.
What's going on there? John?
How are you? Hey, what's going on?
BT how are you doing today? I'm good, man.
What's happening? Not much.
I just wanted. To follow up on my call from
last week on the whole Malik Neighbors thing with him
criticizing the draft picks. Yeah, so.
Even though I'm still not happy about what he did, I got to say
the way John Harbaugh handled that in the media, I thought was
like masterful. And, and it is silence, the
media silence fans like myself, I'm just like, I was blown away
at how like he handled that situation.
And I guess just after years of not having competent leadership
at that head coaching position, like it's just really refreshing
to see. I thought he was.
Really good. I I do agree with that, John, I
thought, listen, there's two aspects, especially here that's
a little different in football. Like Aaron Boone meets the media
twice every single day. Mendoza meets the media twice
every single day. Mike Brown, you know, the NBA
coaches 82 games. You meet the media a lot.
Football, it's a little different.
Obviously going to talk after a game, you're going to do the
midweek press conference and that's kind of it unless unless
you do like a coaches show, which kind of got away.
Like if you remember, like, you know, Eli was always on Mike
Francesa or Parcells or Coughlin, you know, I know Rex
was on ESPN for years, Herm as well.
So that's kind of gone away because those guys would get big
money. They'd get like $100,000 to come
on and talk basically, you know, 10 minutes a week, which at this
point is a waste of money anyway.
The best ones, forget about like the tactics and the schematics
and the resume. The most effective New York
leaders. There's two aspects to it,
because there's a lot of noise here, as you know #1 can you
avoid creating a story? That's one aspect.
And then #2 are you able to quickly and effectively defuse a
story? And I think I'm going to get
back to Boone for a minute. I think one of Aaron Boone's
greatest characteristics is being able to defuse stories.
I think he's great at that. Anytime there's just a little
tiny window, a little door slightly ajar for a little story
to become a big one. I think Boone handles it
amazingly. And I think that's one of the
reasons why the Yankees love him.
All right. And so I'm with you.
Just a big picture. I wanted to give you a little
bit backdrop there. I thought what Harbaugh said was
awesome. It shows control.
It shows an understanding of the modern athlete.
He's not obtuse. Great leadership.
He nailed it. Money.
That's why the Giants are going to be good again.
Absolutely so. Speaking on that, so my question
is when you look at the division, you see how the
Cowboys, I think most people would say they're, you know,
trending downward. The Eagles look like they're a
little bit in chaos right now. So when you add up the free
agency moves, what the Giants did in the draft, I'm not
expecting you to say Super Bowl, but Are you ready to say
playoffs with? Jacks, my man, look at them,
look at them. I mean, now, now we're talking
my language there. I was reading a text there
because I was trying to finalize when Joe B's coming on the show.
But I heard you. Absolutely.
Thank you very much there, John. Shout out to you and and all the
women, all the men and women over in Fort Hood.
Thank you very much for that. Joe B will be on the show on
Wednesday. All right.
And to be totally honest with you, you know, I, I, I, I want
the Mets malaise to continue because I want vintage Joe.
Like imagine if like the Mets sweep over the weekend and
they've got this new energy. Like I want unhinged Joe.
That's what I want. So Joe B is coming up on
Wednesday. There you go.
That would be a lot of fun. What else?
OK, let me let me do this here. We'll get back to the calls in a
minute. So I had Michael Kay on the show
yesterday, right? I want to play back two things
for you. And and then react to him a
little bit. And by the way, if you missed
the entire spot, Mike was on, what about 3540 minutes
yesterday there, Jay? Yeah, it was like 37.
I think OK, I split. Exactly.
So I split the difference. I said 354037.
Boom, right, right between. So if you missed it, go check it
out. It's on the channel.
It was great. We had a lot of different stuff.
Like the last time I had Michael on it was basically two hours of
of his life. And you know, this was just pure
early state of the Yankees, right.
So the first thing was on how he believes and what he believes
the Yankees will do with Volpe. Wait until.
They a couple of games and Caballero gives you an O for 15
because, you know, Yankee fans, a lot of them are just waiting.
They're lying in wait for Volpe to mess up and he does not need
that pressure. And I'm not one of those people,
and I don't know if you are. I don't buy into that nonsense.
You don't lose your job because of injury.
Because if that was the case, you know, Drew Bledsoe would
have been the quarterback of the Patriots.
You do lose jobs because of injury if somebody plays better
than you. I think that the thing that has
really stunned the Yankees is how good Caballero has been
defensively. He's +6 plus 6 defensive run
save. You know where that is in
baseball. That's best of all shortstops in
baseball. He overtook Bobby with Junior,
who's a reigning Gold Glove winner.
He's got a very good arm. He's got extraordinary range and
he's got he's got a quick twitch motor.
So what I would do, I would wait and have Anthony wait until
something goes awry. Not that you're rooting for it
to go awry. And if it never goes awry, well,
then they got a tough decision. I don't know what the Yankees
are thinking. Brian had said at the beginning
of the year the last time he spoke was that when when Volpe
comes up, he's going to be the starting shorts.
All right, good stuff right there.
So again, if you guys missed. It that's just one of the issues
that we, one of the items we had with Michael.
Listen, I obviously understand what Michael saying.
I don't, I don't agree. I don't really see it that way.
The Bledsoe. That's that's certainly a great
example, You know, and, and we, we, we from Lou Gehrig, of
course, and we know how, how, how Lou took over.
But I I kind of see it a little differently here because here's
the risk of and I think the Yankees will call him up rather
than not, but we'll see. But right now Volpe is swinging
the bat pretty well, all right. He's bringing the bat pretty
well down the minor. So if you wait and you ride out
this Caballero hot streak and I didn't even realize that this
defensive run save was that high.
I know he's the eye test has told me he's played very well,
but I did not even know that's a good stat there by Michael.
And it does validate what you know, what, what some people
like Michael are thinking. I just happen to have a
different thought because if you keep Volpe in the minors, and
there's also an expiration on that based on Major League
tenure and like an X amount of window, eventually he's got to
he's got to get called up, right?
But if you don't do it now, well, you know, what happens if
Volpe goes in and it's going to happen, you know, one for 12 in
the minors and you know, he gets a little cold, he strikes out a
little bit, has a bad week and Caballero cools off a little
bit. Would you then call up Volpe at
that point when he's not hitting?
See, to me, I think the move is this.
I think you call them up whether it's today or even if you want
to give it the weekend, that's fine.
You call them up within the next.
And this is what I think will actually happen.
You call them up within the next couple of days.
You run them out there right away.
But the first game that Caballero plays you apart me.
The first game that Volpe plays back, you also play Caballero.
You reward him whether you sit down McMahon, you know, whether
you you want to give Judge maybe another DH day, throw him out
there in right field. I don't think he would play
second base for Jazz, who's starting to hit a little bit
here. But I think that there's a way
to navigate that where you ease Volpe in and reward him for #1
being healthy and being the starting shortstop before he got
hurt last year. You know, going into the
offseason with the shoulder surgery, but also acknowledging
that he's swinging the bat pretty well in the minors.
And you're also doing right by by a player who's riding a hot
streak at this point in Caballero.
But I also think that the Yankees ceiling, like their
optimal, whatever that version is going to be this year, is
going to come not with Caballero playing every single day.
It's Caballero bouncing around and being a super sub.
That's just my opinion. But I wanted to play that from
yesterday's show with Michael. All right #2 and to me, this is
of even greater significance. And you're beginning to.
There was some evidence beginning to mount, I'd say
about two weeks ago. I just started to notice this
year and big picture, like big picture.
We talked about how much is house spent cash been building
the team, Boone's run as manager.
But organizationally, I think that there's been too much
acceptance of either mediocre play or straight up bad play.
And as Michael tells us here, the urgency, it's different this
year. I just think there's a
ruthlessness to. The way they are running this
team and I think that's good. I think that's positive because
they look at this team that's good, they think this team is
good enough to win the World Series, and they're not letting
feelings or emotions get in the way of it.
They're just not. I think it's really good.
I also think it's long. Overdue.
I mean, it's what the Yankees always used to do, which is what
has really, you know, led to a lot of resentment or animosity
or or negative energy toward the Yankees have been built these
last X amount of years. Like the one thing when people
say Howell doesn't want to win, that's bullshit.
It's unfair, it's ridiculous. He spends a lot of money.
He also was only worth about 1.6 billion.
Some of these other guys are worth 20.
Bill all right, so there you go. If you missed it, it was great.
Kay brought the goods. He was phenomenal.
So go check it on the channel. Numbers are good.
It's it's it's a well viewed video.
So I really appreciate Mike hopping on and as I told you the
other day, like I was trying to get Michael on the show and I
and I knew he would come on. I just had a you know, figure
when and I mean the guy they get to Texas the first game when
lighter pitched. So the Ming is his first game
back to the minors. And so that was that.
Tuesday. Let me see, Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday. They were, they were.
No, I guess it was Monday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.
They were off yesterday. Yeah, today's Friday.
So he's like, hey, I could come on Monday night when I get back
to the hotel after the game and we we could record it.
I'm like, dude, you did your radio show.
You called it a Yankee game. The last thing you need to do is
get race back to the hotel to come and chat with me.
And then we wound up figuring out that yesterday worked better
for him. So it was great.
I love having him on. I'll have him on a few more
times during the summer for sure.
A lot of fun with that. All right, let me get back to
the the chats here. We'll get back to the calls.
Yeah, it if you had to create. Oh, wow, this is an interesting
one. It is in the rules Friday, so
you guys could ask me anything. Now when I say anything, I kind
of mean anything, although you know, it's going to be a little
bit of a limit just so I don't get in trouble with certain
things. But no rules Friday.
Let's have fun major under score league.
We always have fun under score 99.
If you had to create an NBA team of all of all time players from
the city, who would be on that team?
And for no rules Friday, what do you think happens to Tony at the
end of The Sopranos? All right, my all time.
I'm going to have to give that a little bit of thought now.
I think Tony was killed. That's number one.
Let me just get that out of the way.
I think Tony was killed and they've talked about, there's
been so many theories about this.
Chase has talked about it a little bit.
I think that Tony was whacked, unfortunately, right in front of
his family, right in the diner with Journey playing, you know,
because there was such a a deep connection.
He was such a flawed human being and he was like Tony was like, I
mean, he was psychopath really, but he had so much good in him
too. There was such a connection from
the audience. David Chase didn't want to show
you him taking a bullet to the skull, which I which I
appreciate it, right. So that's how I believe it ended
my all time New York City team. All right, Jeez.
I mean, obviously little Alcindor is first.
He's at the five. I'm going to put Connie Hawkins
on that team. I'm going to put Chris Mullen on
that team. God, I'm going to miss so many
names. This is hard.
My point guard, I mean, Mark Jackson's my all time favorite.
Rod Strickland was a beast. I mean, Pearl Washington Chase.
I'm going to go Nate Archibald. I'm going to go a little Nate.
I'm going to a little Nate dog here.
And then at the 2, I could even put Mullen at the 2.
Shit, I think I've got to get Lenny Wilkins on this team.
I think if I don't, my dad's going to get pissed like Lenny
Wilkins. Marbury was.
I mean, Marbury in high school was insane, insane.
So I'll go with that. I'll go.
I'll go with Nate. And then I gave you Lou
Alcindor, Molly, Connie Hawkins. If I did this in a week, I'm
sure I'd have some. I didn't, I didn't prepare for
this. I mean, I don't really need to
because this is kind of top of mind stuff, which I love.
I'll go with that. I'll go.
You know, it's funny too. I tweeted this last night during
the Knick game and it just just hit me.
So in the 4th grade, my CYO team, right, We played this
team, St. Thomas More from Breezy Point,
right? And they came in and they, they
basically pulled the Knicks Hawks on us where they pressed
us and they trapped us and we could not, and we were pretty
good. We could not even advance the
ball past half court. Like it was the first.
If you play basketball, there's always that first time where
you're like, whoa, I, I, I can't do this.
And I wasn't the point guard, thank God.
But I mean, I wasn't guard forward.
So I'm kind of responsible for helping out.
No, no chance. None of us.
My daddy told me later on he's and they beat us and we were
friendly with them. Like I, I, I played baseball a
lot of I played on their team. I played with like great guys,
great guys and great players. But at that point, my dad's like
this will never happen again. He goes out and he gets another
point guard. I think we lost.
I think it was 70 to 20, something like that.
And there were No 3 point shots back then.
So when I when you score 70 ish points in the CYO game, it's
literally all right, Maybe we make a bucket, pick it up full
courts, steal layup. You know, all right, we get it
to steal layup. I mean, it's just a layup line.
And my dad never happened it again.
And I just mentioned Marbury and it triggered this, right,
because that's kind of what the Knicks looked like last night
with the Hawks. I mean, I felt like I was
watching my 4th grade, you know, beat down against St.
Thomas More. He's like, I got to get a point
guard. He, the kid who wound up, who
wound up playing point guard for us for the next, I don't know, 5
or 6 years, was actually Stephon Marbury's backup at Lincoln.
Yeah, it was wild. Little Jewish kid Dennis
Edelman. Dennis, if you're out there,
man, I haven't seen you in forever.
Just phenomenal man. Knew the game like I mean, next
level brilliant, could shoot calm under pressure, can handle
and then the entire dynamics of our team change.
But he didn't get much run because Marbury was the was the
guy. He was on that Lincoln team with
Marbury. How about that?
That's so funny, yeah. Yeah.
And I felt like that's. That's what last night felt like
watching the Knicks here. No rules Friday.
Matthew Fanador. Matthew Fanador, There you go.
All right, no rules Friday top five.
Wrestlers. His Hulk Warrior.
I was not a Warrior fan at all. Sting did nothing for me.
Legion of Dome was pretty muddy right there.
What am I see? It's funny.
I look at my wrestlers and I was always more about the
microphone. I mean, first let me just put
Hulk number one. I mean, come on.
When Hulk comes out, I told you I used to take my dad's T-shirts
and put a little hole in them and RIP the T-shirt off coming
down my hallway playing the old WWE record.
I am a real American, like an absolute lunatic.
And so Hulk one. But most of the other guys were
based on what they would do with the mic.
I'll be on the with the microphone.
Piper loved right, which is interesting because those you
know, Hulk and Piper had that big feud.
But I loved Piper, man. He was just he was vicious.
I love the macho man. You know, Miss Elizabeth showing
up on the scene certainly didn't hurt with the sequin dresses and
the heels. Oh, Elizabeth God, Macho man was
he was a great wrestler and he was great on the mic.
Those are non negotiable top three.
I was a big Jake the snake Roberts guy.
I love Jake, so I'm going to put Jake up there.
You can see that I'm obviously skewed old school.
You know, I'm trying to think from other affiliations, whether
it's a flair. I did like the the road
Warriors. You know, they were great coming
into the ring to to Iron Maiden, but no to Black Sabbath.
But no, not not them. The fifth one.
Jeez, I'm having a rough time with Hulk, Piper, Macho, Jake
the Snake. I mean, it's not Andre.
I mean, Andre was actually incredibly boring to watch
wrestle, but he used to skip maybe you know, one of my early
favorites. And then I kind of cooled on him
once, once Jimmy Snook, once Roddy Piper took his soul.
Maybe Jimmy Snuka. Like that's when I first started
watching wrestling with my grandma.
Maybe Jimmy Snuka. I mean, Superfly.
He was always bloodied. He was absolutely yoked.
That was promos were terrible, but I mean him climbing to the
top. I guess I'll give Snuka some
love there. I'm going to go with that.
All right, What else we got there?
Let's get back to the phones here.
Jay Rod, who's up next? We've got our friend Frank in.
Monroe, Frankie. Frankie, What's going on, man?
What's? Up BT We're all over the board
this morning. Brother, it's a no rules Friday
man Got you. So so like in the.
In the first quarter last night, my daughter text me.
She says, dad, the Knicks are up 41.
So So I texted her back. I said I know I'm watching.
I said I've never seen anything like this.
So then I come downstairs and. My stepson.
Is watching the game in the kitchen and he goes, I've never
seen anything like this. I said, dude, I got 40 years on
you, bro, and I've never seen anything like this.
You know, it was like amazing, amazing to watch.
But now, now let me go back to what you were saying.
Like you forgot Bernard King, dude, by the way, you know,
dude, geez, that he, he's my number one guy.
I'm dead and you left him out of your top five.
I'm like what? Happened.
You know what time frame, hold on.
I got to at least defend. Myself, hold on first I got a
framed and signed Bernard King jersey in my man cave and I'm
looking at a framed and signed, you know, little, you know, 2 BT
Bernard King, you know, in my off.
So I mean he I, he was my first favorite thing that is that's
horrendous out of me. He's all forgiven.
It was a tough call 'cause he put, he put.
You on the spot, like right away, yeah, yeah, that's a bad
job by me. He's my.
He's my main guy, you know, and and and.
I'm I'm a, I'm a, I'm a Mark Jackson point guard guy and
Chris Mullen, like I'm 65 years old.
So I go back a little bit, you know, So yeah, yeah, I've seen
and. Bernard King.
Against Detroit, dude. Oh, you know what I'm saying?
The broken fingers. The 43 points a game on public
Celtics, too. Yeah, he he, he, he was great.
Now. Now I want to go back to what
you said before. You were talking a little bit
about the Yankees and watching that the 01 World Series and I'm
going to tell you a quick story. I was standing in front of my I
watch games by myself and I got two brothers and 1Y fans.
I can't watch Yankee game playoff games with other people.
I got to go by. Myself, I got you.
I respect that I'm. Standing in front of the.
TV with with the remote, the ball hits the bat.
I didn't even see it hit the dirt and the TV was off.
That was the most heartbreaking like ending to a game.
And I was at the Mr. November game.
I was at that. I was I was at that World
Series. I at the other hit the home run.
You know, 12. O1, you know, and I was at
Mattingly's first playoff game. I've seen so many big.
Games in that stadium. And and I just, you know, last
night, it's just so so it all takes takes me back to last
night's Knick game. I've never seen anything like
it, bro. And I want to I want to kind.
Of take. A step back a little bit.
I don't want to get too excited. Let's take two days off, let's
rest a little bit. We ain't going to, we ain't
going to go up 41 on the next opponent like you don't have to
as long as you're up by 1 when it's.
All said, who cares? And by the way, Frank, no.
Today is still the day to. Enjoy it and and thank you for
the call Frank. I appreciate you reaching out.
Enjoy it. Have a great weekend, man.
No, you can absolutely let this linger.
I mean, this feeling you'll never have that I don't think
that kind of a feeling again. I mean now, like if you win by
35 in a closeout game in the next round.
OK, but just the historical context.
It's just it's historical stuff. So but no, today's the day.
Let's go. I mean be be drunk on
excitement. Why the be drunk on the
possibilities of this next season?
Anthony OU B12 what up And hey, BT what's your take on what
would count as a non failure season record wise for The Jets
and the Giants? Yeah, this is the usually,
listen, if this was Monday through Thursday, we'd be more
on content, more on point. But the point of a no rules
Friday is for you guys to get some stuff out that you want to
get out. So listen, I can I can attach a
win total to it, or I could just give you like the context.
I always have to see the schedule.
You know, I've got to see that I know who both teams are playing.
But I mean, just in terms of how it lines up, you know, it
doesn't matter who you play. It matters when you play them.
If their quarterbacks hurt, there's so many variables.
So it's very hard to do this. But for The Jets, I'm not going
to give you a record. I'm going to give you I I want
to see the offense. I want to see the offense be I
don't want to go nuts here, man. Speed of being, you know, drunk
unhappiness is still drunk unhappiness for The Jets draft
here. I want to see The Jets be a top
top. I want to see The Jets.
I just, I almost can't say it because it'll sound so
outlandish after what we've watched.
Screw it. I want to see The Jets be a top
twelve offense next year in points per game.
If I'm going to sit here and evaluate the draft and pump up
The Jets offensive line and tell you guys why.
I thought many of you were missing the mark with Geno Smith
dumping on him just for one year.
I'm not saying he's the big picture long term.
He's not going to be Darnold with the Super Bowl.
I'm not saying that. But like Geno is a highly
competent quarterback with weapons who is going to hit open
targets. And when you got Garrett Wilson
and he got Breece Hall and you got Sadiq and you got Cooper and
you've got AD Mitchell for those five guys, by the way, run 4 sub
4 or 40s, you know, and you got a running game in addition to
Brees, you got Braylon Allen and Isaiah Davis and you got Frank
Reich. Like I'm not sitting here saying
top five, but you know, I mean, Kent, top twelve offense now.
I'm still worried about the defense.
So even though I think it's going to be better because
they're going to stop the run better, they address that
interiorly. Really in terms of what kind of
season The Jets have, the two keys very well might be Bailey
and Fitzpatrick. You know, if Bailey and and I
understand the pick, I wanted The Jets to trade out.
You got to have somebody to trade with before you could do
it. I didn't want Reese.
I wasn't, you know, overly enabled with the prospects of
drafting Bailey before the draft, even though I thought
that they would draft Bailey. But if you know, if he gives you
3 1/2 sacks versus 8 1/2 or 9, like if he has if he's the real
deal and Fitzpatrick still has juice, which I think he does.
I mean, you tell me The Jets can't squeeze out at 8-9 wins.
I mean, I I would think that they could.
And then from a giant perspective, you know, I I
really do need to see neighbors healthy.
I know he'll eventually be healthy, but at what point is he
back to being a league neighbors?
I want to see Cam scataboo Giants online will be better.
You know, I love Jackson Dart. You you picked up the tight end
likely. You know, the tight end room is
pretty good. You know, you're going to miss
Dex, but I love the trade there. Yeah, my trade came on
Thibodeau. I would You're not going to
you're not going to extend him. I mean, let me put it this way.
Is there a chance that both The Jets and the Giants win at least
eight games and maybe one of the two have a winning record?
Yeah, I believe that there is. So maybe that's not a direct
tangible, you know, this that number.
But I for the first time, I can promise you this when my kids
are getting ready to go and because I don't walk with them
anymore, they were a little bit too old for that.
But when the kids start walking for, you know, Halloween trick
or treating, The Jets season won't be over and I don't think
the Giants season will be over either.
Speaking of trick or treat, you know, it's funny how fast things
change. The first four.
We have pictures, Jay. Let me see if I can pull this.
Can I find this? We have pictures.
A lot of families do this right Where, where you, you it's going
to take forever to find, but maybe I can find it where you
you get dressed up as a family like you kind of do, like my my
dad didn't get my dad didn't even walk with me once trick or
treating. It's just dad's didn't do that
back then. The the new trend here, you
know, X amount of years is that you kind of do like a family
theme, right? I got to find this one picture.
Hold on. And we did it for the first four
years and we did some crazy stuff, man.
We absolutely crushed it. I'm just trying to go through my
phone going back to the the previous Halloweens here.
Give me a second. I can't find it.
I won't. I won't give it a ton of time
here. If you want to pop, pop up
another chat, go for it. I got to show you this, man.
This stuff is incredible. Yeah.
All right. From Major League. 99 You
thought of doing polls like you see on social Med?
I guess that's another channel. So yeah.
What was your thought on that poll yesterday?
BT Oh, on the polls. On the polls.
Well, can you help me out? I need some information.
How many, how many people did we, how many people actually
answered the answer the poll? I think it was probably a good
30 to 40. Something that's it.
Yeah. I mean, that sucks.
Can't be having that found it polls.
Found it all. Right, all right.
So this is amazing. All right, So the first year,
this is incredible. So my daughter wasn't born yet.
This is just myself, my wife and my little guy who was probably
10 months old at this point. Wait, pull it.
No way. Look at the Star Wars theme.
That's legit. Oh, yeah, no, we don't mess
around sick. That's why.
That's the only reason I'm pulling this out.
How sick is that? He was little Yoda, right?
That is so sick. That's number one.
Then the next year, now my wait till you see what I got pulled
into this year. I'm like man, if I didn't have a
little girl, I don't think I'm doing this.
The next year I get sucked into the Wizard of Oz theme.
I mean. I commend it because they're
really good. Costume Oh, you know, we didn't
mess around dude. That's the.
That's the second year now we go to Yeah, this was adorable.
It's one of my favorite. Just get there.
So now we do the Sesame Street theme, right?
I love how they're. Holding on to us, man.
Big Bird, right? And my, my wife looks great
there and then the last time we did this as a group.
Hold on, this is more my speed. A little superhero stuff.
My wife and my daughter did Frozen and Elsa and my son and I
did Batman and Robin. Oh, that's too sick, dude.
Are those? Money or what?
Dude? Dude.
Straight money. I mean, they're all.
Incredibly high quality costumes.
I appreciate that. You know what I love about the
Robin? Get up.
Look at the ABS man, look how tight that is looking Red.
That's a jacked Robin. The mask is.
Not the corny. Robin from the old days here.
No. What else do we got going?
All right, let's get another call here.
What do you got? Jay, hook it up.
We've got a new caller, too. Mask tonight.
From Washington Heights. OK, what's his first name again?
I'm sorry, Mack. Tonight is Mack.
Tonight when the clock. Strikes Mack What's going on,
buddy? BT What's going on, man?
How are you back? In the crib All good on a
Friday. What's happening?
All right, been listening to you since.
The ESPN days glad to see everything's going on and you
know, always proud and and you know, happy to call in today.
Thank you, man. I appreciate that.
No. Problem.
Just want to mention something I mean.
What we saw from Bridges last night and that's what we've been
praying to see since he got here last year, but I do want to
point out that a lot of times people get on him, but he's sort
of neutralized Nikhil Alexander Walker in the series.
That dude was scoring 30 something, 40 something.
That's why he got most improved player.
So he was following him around everywhere.
He does that a lot on defense sometimes doesn't it goes
unrecognized. But seeing him flying around
with the mid range, laying it up, going to the free throw line
as opposed to just standing around standing in the corner,
that is what we need if we're going to get to the top.
It's almost like when he does that, it's like we become
Voltron. You know what I mean?
Like everything is connected, things like, and, and you're
seeing it guys, it seems like guys are finding out about
themselves, whether it's OG cat, Jalen Brunson, even Jordan
Clarkson off the bench, what he's doing like these guys are
are starting to discover, wait a minute, I can be I need to be
this guy in order for us to really get to the top.
So hopefully that's the start of a great story and hopefully we
get to that point, no doubt. Let me ask you this.
Hold on, So so. Let's go after the NBA Cup,
right? And then, you know, when the
Knicks kind of lost their way, did you think that they were
still potential to grow into a a possible championship type of
team? Yes, because we know by now.
Because the playoffs is different and that's how just
the NBA is nowadays. I mean, look at Philly, look at
Philly now. Like we know that once the these
guys are just trying to get through, it's like those dog,
it's like almost every day is a dog day.
And we saw it in March. And you know, now that we're in
April, guys kicking into that next gear and they start to
realize certain things. And I think we have answers,
whether it's Boston, whether it's Philly, it's a different
strategy. We're not a team that just only
plays one way like a Boston does.
Like we have answers all the way around.
And we even matched up. And I don't want to get too
ahead of myself and talk about Western Conference, but in the
two matchups and even since last year when we match up against
San Antonio, Yep. Like it's not it's not, you
know, we're not talking about a blowout or no chance.
No, no, I agree. I.
Agree. Yeah, the and again, that's down
the road and I appreciate you parsing it with.
You don't want to get too deep into that, neither do I.
But there was a thought. Think about this like the schism
between the East and the West was unapproachably wide.
I don't feel that way anymore. I don't think anybody really
does. Exactly, exactly.
And this. Next team and and even whether
it's Mike Brown, just everybody where I'm hoping that this is
only the start of something where we've been bonding them to
assert their dominance. Like you said from the NBA Cup.
We were like, hey, is this it right now from now on, from from
November on or December, whenever that was, we're going
to start asserting our dominance in the Eastern Conference.
That didn't exactly happen. You know, we had injuries,
whatever the case may be, but now is the time and hopefully
this is just a start where they see that adversity, everybody
starting to come together and find out, like I said, find out
about themselves individually and as how to come together as a
team. And it's beautiful.
And I'm not expecting A50 point win every single time or a
blowout, even in the playoffs especially.
But we know that once you get it, once they start playing
defense, they start flying around.
It's almost like body punches in a boxing match.
You know, you start getting them to the body early in the rounds.
You know you're breaking them down little by little.
By the time they get into the 9th, 10th round, it's over.
That's a good analogy. I love the way you.
Lay that out. So by the way, I know you're up
in the Heights now. Did you grow up there?
Where'd you grow up? Yeah, Yeah.
I'm from from the Heights, Harlem.
Bronx grew up actually went all the way down to Murray Bertram
High School in downtown by by the Brooklyn Bridge.
So it took a long ride every day.
Ended up in Brooklyn a few times falling asleep on the train
helping me too. Man going into Xavier in
Manhattan. Many times there.
So Murray, Bertram, don't they have that nice?
I don't know if it's theirs or it's publicly owned now, like
the city, I should say. Did they have that really nice
baseball field underneath the bridge?
They did. They did.
That's right. That's right.
Yeah. Did you play ball?
No, no, I didn't. I didn't play.
On the teams, you know. Rec teams been playing all the
different rec sports, but never on the actual team.
But definitely, yeah, it was it was cool, you know, getting to
go down there, meeting so many people from Brooklyn from all
over Lower East Side. So going down there, it was a
long trip, but it was worth, you know, taught me a lot about the
train system as well, of course. So Oh yeah, it was all good.
That's awesome, man. Hey, I appreciate.
Making that first call, man, don't be a stranger.
Thanks, buddy. There you go.
Yeah, I mean, the the trains like you want to talk about and
it's so different now. No cameras.
Like the stuff that we would do on the trains was ridiculous.
So Jay, imagine this, right? The every once in a while.
So I would get the Q train. I mean, you would you could get
the D train, but the D train was local every, every single stop,
right? The queue was like boom buzz,
right to like Newkirk and church and prospect and like, you know,
bypass, like Beverly and Cortel you and Avenue H.
Like the queue was when you got the queue, you were pumped,
especially if you got a seat, right.
So the Q train was the money move, but sometimes you don't
have a choice anyway, when you would get that train and we
would never do it in the morning because, you know, it's still
rush hour, but coming back off hours after practice, after
detention, whatever it might be. We used to, when I say we, this
was usually me and my buddy Brian, We would sneak into where
the conductor was, right? If it was an empty conductor,
you know, and sometimes the buttons were still operational.
So we would talk on the entire PhD.
That's that's so funny, I swear to God.
What? Would you say?
Next stop. Yeah, like I would, I wouldn't
like curse or anything like, you know, but I'm sure we set some
up. Would you like?
Would you take it seriously? Would you be like next stop the
Cal bat like yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I would.
I that's exactly. What the Cal day we would always
hit the Cal that was always part of the queue lot to DeKalb Ave.
but yeah, I would like I again, I wouldn't curse whatever, but
you know sometimes you might even I mean again, I'm not proud
of this now maybe you maybe like hey, we're going to bypass we're
going to bypass this stop. I mean, I'm sure.
Oh, and throw some people off. What an.
Asshole now like that's. Just somebody getting off dude
that I mean no looking. At it that that would be some
funny stuff. It was hysterical.
Me and my buddy Brian. Before he got kicked out of
Xavier and then he wound up going to LaSalle.
He was. He was out of his mind in a good
way. He was a handful.
So funny. Absolute handful.
I used to do that, although with time on the one train and and
play music off my phone. There you go, dude.
You're giving me bad ideas. Sound loud.
I don't know how possible it is in 20. 26 It's not.
It's impossible. It's impossible, you know, And
The thing is too, he's he's so he's basically, you know,
Bluetooth in it onto the train or I guess whatever he's doing
there and the music. And I would always, always been
a big music guy. I would have a cassette tape.
I'd be listening to a cassette tape.
I really would be too fun. I mean, one day it might be LL
Cool J one day. I used to love R.E.M.
Back then, like when some of that music started coming out,
obviously beasties like, yeah. I mean, oh, my God, some corny
stuff that I probably won't admit to, but yeah, I mean,
tape. And you have to rewind the tape.
You get back to the song, and then you, you become like a
ninja. You'd be so good.
Like, you want to get it right to the start of the song.
You got a couple on me. There you go.
Yeah. Nice, There you go.
And you'd actually get to that. You get to a point, you get so
good, like the timing mechanism in your own mind where you were
in a song, you'd rewind it up more and right to the start.
It is so wild to me dude. Oh my God, no, it's the old dad.
But you know but think. About like when that stuff came
out to my parents into the parents of my generation, they
were looking at it like some of the parents look at the stuff
today. Like that was high tech shit.
That's so you had those little circular.
You had those little. Circular foam headphones, but
then they. Yeah, but then.
I mean, I'm not, I'm old. I'm not that old, But then they
came with this like metal thing, almost like a telemarketer would
wear. And they then they would just
kind of insert. It was like a little Halo and
then like kind of slipping like, and then wrapped around, yeah.
Because then you can work out with those.
And then they came out with the with the because then eventually
we were able to to listen to the CDs going to school.
And then when you got ACD because a lot of like you're
trying to work out or whatever, like the CD would jump, the CD
would skip. So there was just like non shake
or non skip or non whatever CD type where and when you got
that, like you with a pimp. Oh, we, you can, you can work
out with it's not going to skip. Jesus, think about how long ago
that was, Jay. Long time, buddy.
Just 90s. Oh well.
Well, what's funny? Is so in college, like because,
you know, vinyls with kids my age are like really in right?
Not, not right now, but they've been in for probably the past
10-15 years, you know, buying a record player and doing that
thing. So like, I thought I would take
it a step further and I bought a Walkman with the CD and I would
walk around campus with it. But then like you were saying, I
would run into issues where you're walking with it and then
it would just start grinding the CD up because it's sad.
Yes, yes. And I was like, dude, like,
because, you know, for me these it's like, it's not like I've
accumulated CDs over my lifetime.
Like I would go out to a store specifically and buy, you know,
a certain CD of like, I guess people have been doing that
forever, but. Like, I guess it's a little
different now that. Since now you've got to be more,
what's the word intentional when you're buying ACD?
Like it's not just building up your music repertoire.
It's like, but I guess they're also probably cheaper now.
They're cheaper, but yeah, they just grind.
The Walkman would just grind my stuff.
Yeah. What was the?
Company, God, I'm forgetting we, every one of us did this scam.
This was, I mean a million years ago where you would get
something in the mail and you would, and I'm talking about
when I was, I didn't have any credit cards.
I'm young. I'm like freshman high school
and then suddenly I'd get like 8 CDs to my house and it was like
for a penny. I swear to God, those of you who
are old enough, somebody dropping the chat, not clearing
house for not the NCAA clearing house.
The hell was that something this guy said?
15 CDs. For one cent, something like
that, and that's where I started.
My day. But then the problem is, and
this is where they get you, they're obviously not in the
business of musical charity. I mean, but I'm like, oh shit, I
got 15 free CDs and in my mind I had nothing else to worry about.
But what would happen was you would then have to each month
alert them that you do not want the the next CD that was not
your choice to come to the home. And but I just never did it.
I'm like, whatever, I just get it and I RIP it up.
I get my free CDs and I'm good to go.
And then what would happen? You know, Columbia House.
Columbia House. There you go.
I clearing out.
I knew it was like that. Good, good job.
And this was the scam of all scams, dude.
And then you would you would get because you would just forget
about the paperwork, right? There was no website.
You would have to like check. No, I don't want the next one
mailed it in. I don't even think you had to
put a stamp on it. I was just too lazy to do.
I just didn't care. And then you would get this new
CD at the house. I'm like, what the hell is this?
I never even heard of this band. And then that's how they get
you. And then you start racking up
and then again, I would the next month.
I wouldn't do it in the next month.
I would never do it. So eventually my dad would have
to like, pay off Columbia House because I want to get like 9C
DS, but I didn't even know who they were.
Like classical music, this stuff I had no interest in.
And he's like, what are you doing?
Like, what are you doing? And I had a friend.
I was not this devious #1 this was my checkpoint.
Like I, I did some really stupid shit, you know, like whether
it's graffiti or whatever, you're driving cars when I
shouldn't drive before I got my license.
But I was not a thief. I just wasn't like, I was not a
lot of my friends would steal stuff.
Some of my friends had a scam where like if they lived in
apartments or near an apartment, they would do the Columbia House
thing and and they wouldn't attach their name to it.
I don't even know how they did it.
And then, yeah. And then when the like, they
would hunt out and wait for the CDs to come at somebody else's
apartment that they didn't know they did the CDs and and they
didn't. Have to deal with the
repercussions. They just got to the right, that
is why and I guess because it's like.
They were sort of cheap. It's like you're not doing a
horrible thing. No, no, you're not stealing a
$700. You know, gold chain from, you
know, the mall or whatever it might be, or $125.00 Air
Jordans, whatever. All right, next call.
What do we got? Jay?
Hook it up. We've got our friend Blind
Beard. Blind beard, what's up?
There b ^2 how you doing? You hear us going on, dude?
I feel like I'm listening to Steve Summers over here.
You know, you like I was talking about the olden days.
Not always, no. I'm just messing up.
Not always, not always. I I love it.
No, it's it's awesome and. You bring that, you bring that
love to the to the show. And I, I was, I was thinking
about it. Maybe you should do like an
unleashed golf outing one day too.
I think that would be a lot of fun, yeah.
There's something I don't think I'd do without EI would do.
It, even though I love Nassau County, I used to spend a lot of
time out there playing ball. Mitchell Park and Eisenhower.
That's really that's, I think that's the first place I ever
really played golf. Was that like Sunken Meadow and
a few of those courses. But I was out there almost every
summer in college a lot. But I'm in Jersey now.
So if we did something, if I do something like that, I'll do it
in Jersey. Listen, there's things that
that's a good idea. Yeah.
I told you guys that We'll start.
I'd rather go ahead. Sorry, man.
I'd I'd rather I'd rather bring up.
Something else besides Mets stuff?
Yeah, go, go. Go.
I was just going to say that. I, I was just going to say
there's other things we're going to do.
You know, like I told you, we'll get guests done now we get
guests done regularly. I told you we'll incorporate the
phone calls Now we're, I'm talking to you on the phone
right now. I told you merchandise, which is
slower than I thought that will come.
And you know, the golf outing that is, that is a little bit
more ambitious in terms of from a revenue generation sponsorship
point of view, but we'll make it happen.
I don't know what's going to happen this summer, but it will
happen at some point. Yeah, exactly.
I mean, we could have. Someone caddy for me, you know,
I mean, I'm the blind guy, so I need, I need I.
Need someone to find my. Ball, for me at least, you know,
Well, that's a four caddy. I mean, yeah.
That would be nice to have somebody a couple of 100 yards
down the fairway so that it when it goes in the weeds, he can
pluck it out for us. That would be now that's next
level. The channels really got to be
doing well to have 4-4 caddies. You know, let's let's get there
first. What?
What's going on, man? No, that's it.
I was I was thinking. About that.
I I I left my Red Sox hat at home today.
I just decided, you know, I'm, I'm going to embrace it and just
wear my Mets gear like, like I normally do, you know?
And and, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm a fan of a losing team.
That that's all it is, man. That's all it is.
Yeah, I know. And I get it.
And, and I empathize with you a little bit as a Jets fan, I get
it. There's just certain teams.
Oh, jeez. So sorry.
Met The Jets, Nets. Come on, man.
Who's your hockey team? Do you have one?
Yeah. Rangers.
You know. All right, all right.
All right. I don't, I don't know what to
tell you. I mean, it's, it's pretty lean.
I, I, you know, I, I have. No, I have no luck here.
Who introduced? You to these teams, did you find
them on your own? Was it your pops?
A Big Brother? What?
Yeah, yeah.
My, my, my, you know. My, my dad, you know, we used to
watch all these teams before he, before he was killed.
And I just watch I, you know, I just continued with it.
And then my, my brother's a different, my brother, my, my
brother's a fan of a different, of different teams.
And I'm like, because he followed my mom and he became a
Yankee fan and Giants and I'm that's Jets advantage brother I
got to be honest with. You.
Yeah. Yeah.
But you know what? Listen, I get it and thanks for
the. Call man, appreciate you
checking in. Thank you.
The sounds contrived. The reward is going to be so
amazing, but you got to get the rewards.
You got to get there. And I, I don't know what to tell
you. I mean, just thank God I'm a
Yankee fan. Oh my God, thank God you know,
and even that's getting a little bit lean in terms of the
championships here based on the Yankees standard.
But thank God I, I am. I could have gone either way.
Like I'm, I'm actually surprised I'm not a Mets fan.
You guys know the story. My dad, Dodger fan used to go to
the Mets dream camps. The Mets went on first before
the Yankees went on in our house.
When I was really, really young, you know, I think I used to
watch every single Connor's corner.
And I love watching Connor's corner.
That's why it's funny, like a lot of Yankee fans really hate
the Mets. I really don't.
I, I, you know what I hate? I hate what the Yankee Met
dynamic has become that it wasn't, I mean, like, yeah, it
was like that a little bit when I was growing up.
Like obviously I'm a Mattingly guy.
Some of my buddies were, were obviously Hernandez guys.
You know, you'd go, you'd play wiffle ball and you would
emulate the entire line up. Like, you know, batting first
for me, I'm Ricky, then I'm Willie, then I'm Mattingly, then
I'm Winfield, then I'm Jack Clark or Mike Pagliarullo, so on
and so forth. And you know, my buddy would be
Mookie and and Backman and Keith and Gary and Darryl and so on
and so forth. But I don't know, it just social
media is really added to so much of A nonsense.
It just really has it's, it's really ridiculous, man.
The Martian is again looking overwhelmed.
When do you get the hook? Meaning I, I think when does he
get the hook? I don't know.
I don't know the answer to that. I mean, I, I got to see how his
elbow is. First of all, was there any news
on that since we came on the air?
Let's see Jason there might. Be I know he was going to get
some more. Testing when he got he got
drilled. I'm not sure let's see nothing
nothing yet Nothing yet nothing yet.
All right again listen, dude, I text Joe this was on a
Wednesday. Joe B let's get you on the let's
get you on the podcast BT he goes when are you looking to do
this bro? I said well, I'm on every day at
10. I don't assume that he knows
that. How about Tuesday next week
might be playing golf, bro. When do you know when?
When do you need to know? By bro?
I go. You can tell me by Friday.
All good. He goes.
OK, bro, that's so funny. And then?
And then I'm like, I don't want to be up.
His ass. He'll get back to me whenever
you know it's not going to make or break the show.
We'll get Joe on eventually. And he writes back this morning.
Tuesday at Tuesday at 10. Looks good bro.
OK bro. I'm at 11:30 and he goes playing
golf at noon, bro. Then Wednesday's better let go.
All right, let's do Wednesday, Joe.
You. Got it, bro.
Let's go mix. Yeah, that's too funny.
He's Oh man, it's going. To be a lot of fun, especially
if the Mets keep losing. All right, do we have one more
call? Let's get one more call.
We're not going to line anybody else up if there's any more
super chats hanging out there, anything you guys want to jump
in for? No rules Friday get them in now
because we're going to start wrapping things up like it
subscribe and obviously check out the rest of the content
played some of the snippets from Michael yesterday about 37
minutes myself and and Kay state of the Yankees he was
phenomenal. You guys going to want to dig
into that a lot of other content as well.
All right who's on the phones here?
What do we have Jay? We have got Marciano from.
Beverly and then I can't read the rest Beverly Rd.
Beverly Hills. Beverly Hillbillies I mean,
Marciano that's that's a new one.
Marciano what's going on? Not much BT long time.
Listener from when you was on 10:50 with Stephen A, There's a
lot of you man. There's.
A lot of you OG 1050 fans. That's great.
Oh yeah, long time fan. I like listening to all your
takes and everything, like when you get a little crazy, you have
a little bit. But that one guy that was
chatting, he was a. Little nuts.
That's all good. We're all nuts now where's
Beverly Rd. What is that?
I don't understand. I'm.
I live in Beverly, MA. Oh, OK, there you go.
Yeah, I'm from Jersey. City, New Jersey.
Jersey City. Do you go to Saint Anthony's?
No, no, my cousin played baseball with.
Willie Banks. Oh, Willie Banks, the pitcher,
Yeah. Oh he, I remember watching.
Like Willie Banks through. Gas man Willie Banks.
Well, yeah, he did. Yeah.
No, no, I didn't. Thank God I didn't have to face.
I played Saint Anthony's once in baseball and we beat him like 20
to 5. But thank God, you know, Banks
is older. I never had to see him.
I wouldn't have touched him. He was he was a beast.
Yeah. Twins.
Yeah, Twins primarily, right. Yeah.
Yeah, he Twins. Yankees.
That I know, Yankee and. But yeah, big.
Fan. But how good did that feel last
night, watching the Knicks close out a game that way?
Yeah, yeah. When we're usually on the
opposite. End.
Of that, well, not like that. I mean, nobody's been on the.
Opposite end like that ever. That's the reason we always get
crushed like not. By score but our hearts, you
know what I mean? But, you know, I live in
Massachusetts and watching the Celtics going to Game 7 feels
good. Hopefully fully can close it
out. But I think that match up will
be a little tougher with, you know, and be.
But I kind of want to see that match up and be in Towns.
The way that Towns is playing now, the Knicks need him to to
go to the finals. I've been saying that all year
to my wife, like, hey, if the Knicks won the win, they need to
go through Cat. Yes, yes.
And that's why Mike? Brown deserves some credit for
the adjustment and that's why Cat deserves a lot of credit for
being ready to flourish with the adjustment.
No question about it. He's been phenomenal.
Yeah. And and what do you think about
my my question? Is this, what do you think about
that matchup between Towns and and B?
Well, we're not there yet. Yeah, we're not there.
Yet that's what I think about it.
I don't want to put the car before.
It's one thing to have fun and be a little giddy today, but I'm
not going to break down those matchups till I know who's
playing. I will give you and Marciano
thanks for the call man. I appreciate you rolling with me
for as long as you have. No thank you.
Don't be a stranger. Call back anytime.
Thank you, brother. Thank you, bro.
I think that I mean, the Celtics championship pedigree you got to
respect. They are overly reliant on the
three. You know, Tatum's a little
jacked up with the calf for the hamstring.
You know, Nick fans will take over Philly like they have
before and beads a problem when he's right.
Maxie's a problem. You know, I don't really know
who I want. I I don't know.
I just want these two teams to beat the shit out of each other
over the weekend. You know, I bet a triple
overtime absolute gas tank is empty and then we'll see a game
one heavy legs, Knicks by 17 playing downhill.
I don't know if that's going to happen, but I don't know.
I you know, part of me wants I'm going back and forth.
Part of me wants Boston. It feels a little more
prestigious, you know, give it the Celtics recent championship
pedigree. Some of me wants the Sixers, but
that match up, I think the Sixers match up worries me a
little bit more. Either way, that's as deep as
I'm going into that pool. We will get to that when we get
to that. J Rod, what do you got on the
agenda this weekend, buddy? Anything good?
Let's see. No, I mean last.
Like last night was like that was that was it.
That was enough for the entire weekend.
But tonight, try to get after it somewhere, I guess.
Friday or Friday. Saturday.
Have some fun. Wait, hold on.
What? Forgot what?
Sunday. I'm going to the Yankee game.
You are. Yes, Sir.
Yes Sir, I'm going with my. Brother and some of my.
Friends, we're going to the Yankee game sitting in the
outfield. My brother really wanted to
catch a Homer. So dude, I can't wait.
I mean, honestly, like this is this is the first baseball game
I've ever gone to, not bottom line, this is the first baseball
game I've ever gone to where I'm really going to be watching with
the true eye, with the true really breakdown the Oh, of
course, dude, first one. So have you been to Fenway?
Yeah, many times. Yeah, I've been to Fenway a
bunch. Of times Yankee Stadium a few
times. Like I mean, I've been to Yankee
Stadium more than Citi Field One time I I went to a Mets game
last. I like Citi.
Citi feels pretty good. Fun time.
There that I mean it's just a parking.
Lot, that's my only issue. It's just like the area
surrounding it. But yeah, no, I mean, this is
the first game I've been to where I'm like, super excited to
just get in, watch the game, you know, see Pete Alonzo riff it.
Come on you, you better bring that debit card 'cause it ain't
cheap, buddy. Oh dude no not at all.
Also. Dude this quick side my.
Friend we went to. Like this party bar, whatever
thing. Last night the drinks were $35.
Fuck out of here. It was 70 bucks.
For two drinks. Granted, they were it.
It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.
What kind of drink was it? Like a vodka.
Potik, this is sad. It was a potka.
Red Bull bro what for 35? Dollars all right now.
Hold on a SEC. Where was it in Manhattan?
I'm assuming right. Bushwick, Brooklyn.
Bushwick, Brooklyn 35. So.
Did you clarify Because they usually ask you what type of
baca you want. Did the bartender did?
Did he or she ask you what you want?
Just singular double? That was it.
Did you say double for 35? All right.
Well, thank you. Got to give me all the
information. Was it like, was it Belvedere?
Was it a lower level? Was you know, cuz there's some
pretty some pretty good quality. It was pretty.
Quality tasting. I love Belvedere's good.
I used to that was. Really, when I graduated, like
in college, right, it was beer. It was like Rumblemints.
Couple of shots of Rumblemints, couple of shots of Jägermeister.
And then when I got out of college, it was some vodka, like
I was on a vodka kick for a couple of years.
Not, not with great frequency, but like when I would drink, I
would go like I thought I was fancy, like a Belvedere or
something like that. I remember when Sky Vodka came
out, like those blue bottles. I kind of like that.
Obviously you would drink a little absolute in college, but
then, yeah, I was probably on that vodka for about five years
or so, and then I morphed into Scotch.
And ironically, do you know how I got into Scotch?
This is a great story. This is a great little.
I'll try to keep it tight. I know that's impossible for me,
but I'll try. So, you know, back when I was at
10:50, Yeah. Play that harp.
Let everybody know it's gonna be longer than I back when I was at
10. 50 So this is. Probably we were living in, I
always look at where was I living to get the year.
So we were in Hoboken. We were just married.
So it was 2010 at that point. Johnny Walker, who I was doing
some work. They were owned by Diageo.
I was doing some work with them and they had just become a
sponsor for the Yankees. OK.
Well, Michael. They invited they.
Well, they Michael was the main recipient of the invitation.
They said, hey, bring like 10 friends, bring like 10 people
that you want to bring. And we're going to have the
whiskey master come in from, you know, from, from Scotland.
Yeah. And it's.
I forget the hotel. Somewhere in Manhattan, I'm
forgetting the name of the hotel, and it was like a nice
dinner hors d'oeuvres, right? And it was really a high level.
I think I wore a suit and tile. It was nice, right?
And it was like myself, Michael, Donnie Ligreca was there.
John Flaherty was there from the Yes Network.
I think Coney was there, you know, maybe a few like maybe
Sherman, maybe maybe some of other Michael's other friends.
Either way, the whiskey master went through.
If you know, like Johnny Walker back in the day, it was like
red. It's changed now.
They have so many like was red, black, green, gold, blue.
Obviously blue is the higher, but then they had some other
ones like double platinum, barrel oak, whatever.
And red is generally like for ginger ale, you kind of mix it.
It's a little cheap, but the whiskey master went through and
he had one of those little science, what are those things
called? The droplet dropper to clean the
pallet. And you would have.
Samples of each of the and yeah, green and which is very hard to
get and gold and, and, and blue as well.
And you would, you would take a sip and then he would tell you
what you should taste and like, what flavors vanilla, oak like
what it what it is. And then when we left and he
went through all five of them. And then, you know, you rinse
the pallet, you try the next one.
They gave each one of us a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue
that was inscribed with something that was unique for
everybody. And I still have the bottle.
It's down in my man cave, but it says, it says my name and it
says the voice of New York sports.
That's sick, dude. Yeah.
And then I went on my my. My, my, you know, my, my Johnny
Walker kick. And to the point where I
developed a great relationship with the myself and I did a lot
of appearances. I remember interviewing Jim
Furyk at A at a big Johnny Walker event right before the US
Open. Did a lot of stuff.
But but I also for my groomsmen, 'cause we got married down in
Florida, I had Johnny Walker ship a, a bottle of Johnny Blue
to everybody in my wedding party.
My dad, my father-in-law, my future father-in-law with, with
'cause we got, we got married 10/10/10 and their names
inscribed in it. It's awesome if Michael got me
into it. Like if Michael doesn't invite
me to that, I probably. And I was, when I tell you I was
on a little kick for a year. Like I was like, anytime I'm
going to the bar, I'm like, hey, Johnny Black one cube, Johnny
Green one. Like it was, it was on for a
while, but that's how it started.
So there you go. All right.
Wasn't too long of a story. No, no, no.
Nothing. Crazy bounce.
Dude, good show, really good week.
Did you get paid everything good?
Did it come through? Yeah.
We're all set. We're all set.
We. Got our little routine.
It's scheduled. Right.
So it just comes right to yourself.
Yeah, I, I think it's, I think it's at like 1. 27 AM on is that
is that what? Is that what the it's like It's
sometime between 12:00. To two AMI love it.
It's funny. All right, man.
Well, listen have. A great time for the Yankee
game. Go Yanks.
Enjoy it. Good luck to you Celtics.
I know you're nervous, but good luck to the seas there.
Knick fans rebel now. Let's not get dopey and nuts and
just start putting the craziest stuff out there, you know?
You know how Knick fans get, I mean, just, you know, try to
straddle the line of being incredibly pumped up, but also,
you know, navigating all the other emotions that come like,
just don't embarrass us on social media.
You guys have a pretty good way of doing that.
What is this here? What am I reading here?
J Rod for the J True. Yeah, Shout out to him.
I told it's about time he did it.
Give me some drops, man. And we got the little harp when
B TS get ready to tell a short story that somehow turns into a
long 1. So have an awesome weekend.
I can't wait to to get back on Monday.
Anything pops over the weekend that's of a big magnitude, I'll
fire up the live show. Otherwise I'll catch you Monday
at 10, but then go on Wednesday. Good chance we'll have Aaron
Boone next week. I don't know what day we've got
to settle that. Maybe I'm going to reach out to
Susan Waltman as well. Maybe get a maybe do something
with the Knicks to guess why. So have an awesome day, have an
awesome weekend like it subscribe it, go check it out.
More you guys do the more it will grow, the more it will get
shared, the more it will bounce around the algorithm and the
more we will be able to do so. I appreciate the calls.
