I don't know why I keep saying 12 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,120 that, but it is a no rules Friday. 13 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,080 What's going on? Little Subway series action, a 14 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,160 little Jets and Giants schedule, a little cabs and Pistons. 15 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,960 We got it all. Sorry for being a couple of 16 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:46,840 minutes late. So let's jump into today's show. 17 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,800 Sports you buy.

I saw a chat already. 26 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,120 Mets going to sweep. That's going to sweep nothing, 27 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,800 although you know that there's so many aspects to this series 28 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,960 that are are really interesting teams going a little bit the 29 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:22,240 opposite direction. The Mets find it a little juicy 30 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,160 with these young guns with, with Benjamin in Soto, you know, 31 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,680 avoiding injury the other night, hit the bomb yesterday, the big 32 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,680 single. I don't know, maybe the tide is 33 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,320 turning a little bit. Maybe these Metsies are getting 34 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,280 ready to make a little bit of a season out of it. 35 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,600 You know, the Yankees offense has been a flat out disaster in 36 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,240 terms of those 5 automatic outs they roll out every single 37 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,080 night. So we'll dive into the Subway 38 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,840 Series in a moment. This is going to be fun. 39 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,960 Now, you know, I'm boys with Jerry. 40 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,560 We had Jerry on the show the other day. 41 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,280 My guy, Jerry Ferrara, awesome dude, known him for about 20 42 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,320 years at this point. And and unbeknownst to me, you 43 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,720 know, I just kind of heard and then I started to investigate 44 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,000 And, you know, we, we know about this, this blossoming beef, this 45 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,199 friction with Jerry and Dave Rothenberg over to ESPN Radio, 46 00:02:09,199 --> 00:02:11,640 who does a great job with DPH Row, great morning show. 47 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,720 And I don't I don't know Dave. Like, I know, I know almost 48 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,200 everybody at, at ESPXI worked with a lot of those guys. 49 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,240 I worked with Kay, I worked with La Greca. 50 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,240 I've I've been, you know, tight with Alan Hahn for a long time. 51 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,440 He's awesome. But I don't know Dave. 52 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,960 I I don't even know if I've ever been in the same room as Dave, 53 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,760 right. So, but I always like this 54 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,800 passion. You know, I would listen to them 55 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,640 coming in once a while after Jerry's update. 56 00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:39,120 Those guys do a good job. And I guess they were talking 57 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,320 about it on the show a little bit yesterday and and the need 58 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,160 the podcast came up. My name came up. 59 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,360 It was obviously about Jerry and they reference they played some 60 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,320 clips from when Jerry was on the show. 61 00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:51,120 So get it up there. Let's go. 62 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,680 Next guest. Here we go. 63 00:02:52,960 --> 00:03:00,360 Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan Little Rothenberg and Jerry Little Roth 64 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,920 and Turtle. We're going to flush through 65 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:06,240 this on Monday. All right, so I got I got Dave's 66 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,240 number, didn't even have his number, got his phone number 67 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,880 from John Winthrop, who used to be my producer, one of my 68 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,560 producers and is now the PD over to ESPN Radio and he got me his 69 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,920 number. I reached out and he got back to 70 00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:22,960 me and then we were going back and forth a little bit 71 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,360 Yesterday. I said I got to get you on the 72 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,200 show, have a little fun, you know, just to figure out what's 73 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,120 going on with you, you and Jerry, see if we can't resolve 74 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,000 this here. So that'll be that'll be on 75 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,280 Monday. I don't know if it's going to be 76 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,800 1030 or at 11. He's obviously got his show that 77 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,120 that he's got a tend to that's first and foremost. 78 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,200 But this, I think will be like a like, I mean, not different in 79 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,080 the sense of of how I do the interview, though. 80 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,920 Of course, we're going to get, you know, the the Rothenberg and 81 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,160 Ferrara stuff out of the chute here trying to squash it. 82 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,520 Or maybe it hits another level and maybe we're in the middle of 83 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,720 some real radio beef there, some real content beef. 84 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,960 But because I don't know Dave, you know, and all the other 85 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,400 guests that I've had on on the show, you know, K Le Greg, 86 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,880 obviously Stephen A Jerry, these, these are guys I've known 87 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,800 for a very long time, Pitino and Aaron Boone. 88 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,160 I don't know Dave. So I'm looking forward to 89 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,480 getting to know a little bit more about, you know, how we got 90 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,320 into the business And, and just I don't, you know, outside of 91 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,760 his, his crazy fandom, which is what drew me into Dave. 92 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,120 I remember, God, this had to be, I don't know how long he's been 93 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,840 at ESPN Radio, but I left in 2011. 94 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,480 We never crossed paths. Obviously we didn't work at the 95 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,600 at the station at the same time. And I remember hearing him, I 96 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,320 don't know when, maybe 20-15, maybe maybe in the neighborhood 97 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,120 of 2015, something like that. When I was doing the national 98 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,960 show with Tiki when we, when we started that. 99 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,840 And I remember hearing Dave maybe on a weekend because I 100 00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:51,240 don't think he had his own show yet, maybe doing some filling 101 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,240 stuff. And I texted my guy Tim 102 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,040 McCarthy, who, you know, who ran ESPN Radio forever, and Timmy 103 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,160 hired me back in the day. And I'm like, Tim, this guy's 104 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,840 pretty good, man. You got to get him a slot. 105 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,960 And, you know, here, Dave's doing his thing, doing it really 106 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,880 well with Rick. And they got a good thing in the 107 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,080 morning. So that's going to be great. 108 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,520 So you excited about that, J Rod? 109 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,360 That'll be a lot of fun, man. Time, man. 110 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,520 I mean, I'm, I'm really excited to see if, you know, like you 111 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,000 said, if he's really going to get into the weeds and if this 112 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,760 beef is going to be fur, then if the fuel is going to be added to 113 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,320 the flame, it'll be interesting. Yeah. 114 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,360 I listen, I don't know Jerry to ever back down from a battle, 115 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,760 but he's also, I think mature and I and I, I think that I, you 116 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,760 know, I don't, I don't know that I don't know that I don't want 117 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,960 to speak for either one. I, I would imagine that we will 118 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,600 walk away with some, you know, mediation. 119 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,960 I think that we'll get to the bottom of this, you know, 120 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,560 because, you know, unless Geo pulls me into something, I don't 121 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,840 know, I don't get involved in these radio, you know, that I am 122 00:05:47,840 --> 00:05:50,000 a man of peace. I am a man of calm. 123 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,880 Yeah, I may. I am one calm person. 124 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,720 J Rod. But that's going to be Monday, 125 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,280 so either 10:30 or 11. Let you guys know. 126 00:05:57,280 --> 00:05:59,560 Exactly. I told Dave I would hit him up 127 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,320 on Sunday and kind of confirm the time. 128 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,480 So somewhere in that window, I would imagine. 129 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,400 I'll start the show, obviously do a lot of Subway Series and 130 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,040 then, you know, with Dave, who's a great sports guy, you know, 131 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,760 once we figure out what's going on with him and Jerry, we'll do 132 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,560 next, we'll do Subway Series. He's he's probably the biggest 133 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,680 Giants fan that I know and we'll run through the giants schedule, 134 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,680 which is something I'll do a little bit later as well with 135 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,200 The Jets. All right, subways, I'll do jets 136 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,280 and giants today subway series. I've always been a fan. 137 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,520 I've always liked it. You know, now there's some years 138 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,440 where you got to kind of manufacture some of that 139 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,960 enthusiasm where the Mets are down and the Yankees are are are 140 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,600 usually up. Now the up is relative. 141 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,880 I mean, the Yankees haven't won since O 9, as we know, but the 142 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,960 Yankees are are never floundering to a point where 143 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,400 their season is on the brink when they meet the Mets in the 144 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,480 Subway Series. And that is where we are with 145 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,600 the Mets. Although I got to tell you, you 146 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,840 know, and, and maybe it's an early read, the Mets have been 147 00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,520 playing a certainly better baseball for a while. 148 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,160 The the Diamondbacks series didn't go great. 149 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,760 But if you go back to the Angels series where they won two out of 150 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,240 three and then right after that they beat the Rockies. 151 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,280 I mean, you better beat the Rocket. 152 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,240 They didn't beat him in Queens, so you better take care of him 153 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,400 out in Colorado. So they won two out of three 154 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,480 against the Angels, two or three against the Rockies. 155 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,560 Diamondbacks could have gone either way, lost some ugly ones. 156 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,480 They lost two out of three. But you know, when you sweep 157 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,920 A-Team and it's still May and listen, the Braves going to run 158 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,880 away with this division. So I'm not talking about the 159 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,480 Mets ever regenerating to the point where they make this 160 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,080 unexpected move and start battling the Braves for NLE 161 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,880 supremacy. I don't expect that at all. 162 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,000 And I also think that there's a really good chance that this 163 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,720 little flicker of hope that the Mets have dropped on their fan 164 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,080 base, which is good for the fans. 165 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,120 I, I don't know how long it it's going to last. 166 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,800 I, I really don't now. I'm not prepared to say that 167 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,800 it's it's that it's his unsalvageable as it was a while 168 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,720 ago. I mean, if you say that, then I 169 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,480 think you're being a little bit unfair to the Mets. 170 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,600 I think the one thing that is absolutely true is that you got 171 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,080 the Yankees kind of inching in the wrong direction and you got 172 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,400 the Mets inching in the right direction, which is what's going 173 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,120 to make this weekend a whole hell of a lot of fun. 174 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,480 You know, if this I don't know, is this the start of Juan Soto 175 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,440 going on a little heater? I don't know. 176 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,920 I mean, a big base hit yesterday, home run straightaway 177 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,160 center. We, we could be think about this 178 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,800 Met fans, we could pee in a very, very different place right 179 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,520 now. Like, even though the Yankees 180 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,559 and I don't like the way they look all the sudden and I'll get 181 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:37,159 more into the Yankees in a moment. 182 00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:42,080 But like the Mets, if, if that's 1/8 of an inch, maybe lower on 183 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,240 the leg or in the wrong spot. I mean, Juan Soto might be gone 184 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,640 for two months with a, with a fractured fib or a tib or 185 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,680 whatever. Like, you know, that thing was 186 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:54,240 perilously close to, you know, I, I really compromising Juan 187 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,400 Soto sees him and the fact that he's already missed games with 188 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,200 the calf injury, missed 15 games. 189 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,960 You know, Juan Soto's numbers right now are obviously very low 190 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,800 for Juan Soto. And because he missed, you know, 191 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,960 a couple of weeks of time, you know, he's not going to really 192 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:15,240 be afforded many months where he doesn't produce otherwise one 193 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,600 Soto's numbers at the end of this year are going to look 194 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,560 pretty freaking poultry. Not that I expect that, but he 195 00:09:21,560 --> 00:09:24,120 just doesn't have a lot of wiggle room at this point. 196 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,240 So, you know, it's crazy too. I don't listen. 197 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,040 I mean, to drop a prediction on this weekend is is really the 198 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,960 the height of of idiocy. I do who the hell knows? 199 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,160 I mean, I don't know. I mean, I do think Cam 200 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:39,200 Schlettler will pitch really well tonight. 201 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,040 And I am looking forward to watching Cam digging against 202 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,920 Soto or Soto digging against Cam. 203 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:45,520 I mean, that's going to be good stuff. 204 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,920 And you got a couple of fun pitching matchups here. 205 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,800 But I'm not going to all the Mets will sweep the Yankees. 206 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,920 I don't know. I mean, if I had to put money on 207 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,880 something, one of the two teams is going to win two out of 208 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,320 three. I don't think there's a sweep 209 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,400 either way. But imagine, see, this is the 210 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,600 the fragility of a baseball season. 211 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,360 And I've always told you, right, even though, you know, I, I lead 212 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,040 the charge as much as anybody because I turn into an emotional 213 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,720 mess during the high points and the, and the low points for 214 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,160 these teams. You guys know that about me. 215 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,440 I don't run from that. But like, you know, a week ago, 216 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,400 the Yanks are flying high, almost projected that 1998 217 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,600 energy where they just refused to lose. 218 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,800 And I, you know, I described and I still believe this. 219 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,360 Well, they got to get it going again. 220 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,640 I described this Yankee team as a team that's got a real 221 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,640 aversion, like a real distaste to losing. 222 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,560 They hate losing. And I think that that's a great 223 00:10:37,560 --> 00:10:40,240 characteristic that even some of these Yankee teams that have won 224 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,360 90 plus games over the last X amount of years haven't always 225 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,360 shown. I like the grit with this team. 226 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,560 I do not like, you know, four or five automatic outs trotting out 227 00:10:50,560 --> 00:10:53,160 there every single night and the Yankees got to get their act 228 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,360 together. But contrast where the Yankees 229 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,080 were, you know, a week ago and now bring it back to where the 230 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,760 Mets were a week ago. If the Mets, this is a massive 231 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,040 if. But I just want to paint an 232 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,480 image here. If the Mets were to sweep the 233 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,560 Yankees this weekend, and the Mets have won seven of 10, the 234 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,800 Yankees have lost six of 10. If that were to happen, we're 235 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,120 going to reconvene on Monday and the Mets will be 21 and 25. 236 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,760 And in the grand context, like, not, not incredibly impressive, 237 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,800 but given the nuance of the season, I mean, that would 238 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,240 represent a massive win. So the Mets win three games. 239 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,680 They're 21 and 25. And then the Yankees, 240 00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:34,200 conversely, will be 27 and 20. And all of a sudden, now a bad 241 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,920 week becomes a bad ten days, a bad 1213 days. 242 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,360 And then you got to see what it morphs into. 243 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,720 We got to see what's going on with Max Freed. 244 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,800 We got to see when Garrett Cole's coming back. 245 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,360 We've got to see some of these stiffs who just cannot hit and 246 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,760 are automatic outs wake up. And it it is amazing where and 247 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,880 by the way, the answer is probably somewhere between the 248 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,320 Yankees probably were never quite as good as they looked at 249 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,920 their apex this year, beating some bad teams. 250 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,600 They're definitely not this team that has lost six of 10 and kind 251 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,400 of just stumbling all over themselves. 252 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,840 And you know, I, I don't expect the Mets to go on some 60 253 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,920 something winning percentage clip where they're going to, you 254 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,960 know, defy the odds and find a way to win 90 plus games. 255 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,320 I think best case right now, best case scenario for the best 256 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:28,560 case, they are a wild card team with, you know, 80, you know, 257 00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:31,920 8788 wins and that's best case, all right. 258 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,320 And then Yankees, best case, Yankees win the division. 259 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,800 I know Tampa's playing very good ball and Yankees are two back 260 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,920 right now. Best case for the Yankees, they 261 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:44,920 win 9798. Freed's fine rotations on lock 262 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,720 when everybody gets back. Bullpen gets better when some 263 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,520 starters move there. But there's a lot of unresolved 264 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,360 issues right now with both of these teams. 265 00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:57,760 And the one thing, and this is always fun in baseball and you, 266 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,840 you don't really get this. It doesn't feel this way with 267 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,200 football. It doesn't even really always 268 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,840 feel this way in the NBA. But when you've got a team like 269 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,640 the Mets that have looked very stale and are not built the 270 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,600 right way, like we know that, OK, it doesn't mean they can't 271 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,160 make something of their season, but they're not built well. 272 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,440 Stearns has been a disaster. He's the target #1 for every Met 273 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,960 fan right now. But something about baseball, 274 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,080 when you bring up kids, especially when you bring up 275 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,440 kids who can run and you know who got a little athletic juice, 276 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,360 it starts to feel different quick whether or not that's 277 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,600 going to sustain itself. And I told you, you know, I 278 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,040 watching, watching Binge in the spring, I'm like, I like him. 279 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,040 I don't care if he comes out and hits 170 in April and he 280 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,760 scuffles with which he has his points. 281 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,920 I like him. He's a ball player and he's the 282 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,120 kind of guys kind of young player that can impact you 283 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,480 favorably positively, even when he's old for four, you know, 284 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,680 score from first on a double, you know, beat out a double 285 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:03,880 play, swipe a bag. You know, score on a a hard hit 286 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,480 ball to the outfield from second, you know, beats the 287 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,440 throw slides in safe. That like that youthful energy. 288 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,640 The met #1 the Mets needed it And and I do think that it's 289 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,000 it's re instilled some belief within the Mets fan base, which 290 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,280 is a good, good thing. Now let me do this here, right? 291 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,600 I used to do this with Sal a lot. 292 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,600 Let me just go. I've got a got a database going 293 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,400 to pop this up. I'm curious. 294 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,920 I've not checked this all year because it's it's it's too 295 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,920 early. I just want to see something 296 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,960 here. So provided this pops up, but it 297 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,360 doesn't take all day to get there. 298 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,200 Come on. All right, here we go. 299 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,160 So I want to see right now, and it's early, but it's worth the 300 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,000 read. Subway Series almost Memorial 301 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,720 Day when we start kind of taking stock of where everybody is. 302 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,840 So I go to the standings on this database and they've got some 303 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,640 advanced analytics like, you know, post season probability, 304 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,000 divisional supremacy probability, projected win total 305 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,040 right now. And I'll play the game with you 306 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,880 right now. Start with the Yankees. 307 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:08,040 The Yankees are projected to win 95.3 games, I would say. 308 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,760 I mean, there was a point where I'm like, I think they might win 309 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,120 100 slightly over, not mine. I think that that's a pretty 310 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:22,320 good number. 95969495.3 is the number I'm looking at, 62% 311 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,880 chance. And by the way, what they do is 312 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,880 already, they factor in who you've played, strength, the 313 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,440 schedule, and there's a lot of schedule that remains obviously. 314 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,200 But just to let you know what goes into the analytics behind 315 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,960 these projections. All right, so Yankees are a 62% 316 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,000 chance to win the division and the Yankees a very robot. 317 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,680 I mean, the Yankees are playing, making the playoffs no matter 318 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,720 what. They always do 98.5% chance to 319 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,560 make the playoffs. Now, those are numbers. 320 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,240 Like if you ask me blindly, I matter of fact, I'll do the Mets 321 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,160 blindly as well. I'm not looking at it. 322 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,880 I actually stopped the page before I got to the NL. 323 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,120 If you asked me to do this before I actually looked at the 324 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,400 American League and the Yankees, I probably would have been in 325 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,240 that vicinity. I think maybe, I think the win 326 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:04,800 total probably would have been spot on. 327 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,560 I probably would have said 95. I think I would have got a 328 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,880 little higher for the divisional, maybe, maybe low 329 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,800 70s. And then, you know, in terms of 330 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,840 playoff possibility, basically 100 percent, 9899%. 331 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,800 The Mets. I'm going to give this a blind 332 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:20,680 read. The Mets. 333 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,960 I'm going to say my projection, see how it marries with theirs. 334 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,320 I'm still not fully buying it. I do like what I've seen the 335 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,040 last week and 1/2 or so, seeing some signs, seeing a little 336 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,680 spunk, seeing a little fight, seeing a little conviction 337 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,400 without Lindor, who eventually will be back. 338 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,400 Alvarez gone. Not that he's really good, but 339 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,920 you got to factor that in a little bit. 340 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,920 I'm going to say the Mets. I'm going to say 81 wins and I'm 341 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,000 almost inclined to go with tick lower. 342 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,640 You know, I almost want I'm going to I'm going to go 80 wins 343 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,720 for the Mets. I'm going to say less than 5% 344 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,240 probability for the division and I'm going to give the Mets about 345 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:12,920 a wild card 6 pack 35% for the play offs. 346 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:18,200 All right, let's see. So eighty wins, 5% division, 35% 347 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,640 play offs. The Mets are, jeez, the Mets are 348 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,560 74.2%. They've got literally 0, which 349 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,280 to me makes no sense. I mean, that's something Sal 350 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,040 would always bang onto it and he wasn't wrong. 351 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,200 Like, so I'm looking at this now, 0% chance to win the 352 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,640 division. It's May. 353 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,080 I mean, I, I get it. I'm not saying that they're 354 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,720 going to come anywhere near it, but at least leave the door 355 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,800 slightly ajar. 1%, half, you know, slightly less than 1% 356 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,560 something. I mean, throw a couple of the 357 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,960 zeros in there with a decimal, but zero, no. 358 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:57,520 And OK, this is that move and a wolf and a 3.7% chance to win 359 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,880 the division. So, you know, listen, all the 360 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:04,800 Subway Series stuff and it's, you know, largely manufactured. 361 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,440 Some people are a little tired of it. 362 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,560 I still enjoy it. Listen, there's just more energy 363 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,840 when the Yankees and the Mets play then when the Yankees play 364 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,800 the Orioles or the Mets play the Marlins or whatever. 365 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,480 Yeah, outside of Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Phillies, Mets, 366 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,160 Braves, you know, Yankees, Dodgers, Inter league, whatever 367 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,440 it might be. I, I, I still think that there's 368 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,920 a lot of juice. The fans still like it. 369 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,800 Really, that's all that matters as long as the fans are into it 370 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,080 and they're enjoying this. And the stadium's going to be 371 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,800 sold, sold out this weekend. Obviously, you know, Yankee 372 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,160 Stadium is pretty much always sold out no matter who's coming 373 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,840 in, especially on the weekend. But when the Mets roll in later 374 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,080 in the season, that will be sold out no matter what's happening. 375 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,600 And, you know, I mean it what what felt like it was going to 376 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,880 be an absolute bronze takeover for the next three days when the 377 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,000 Mets were languishing. You know, I mean, there'll be a 378 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,840 little bit more Mets energy in there today and and and over the 379 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,000 weekend and there should be. I don't know if they sustain it, 380 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:06,520 but at least the the intrigue now is if at at least the Mets 381 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,320 have shown a spark. I mean, God, otherwise they were 382 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,440 showing up with a toe tag already, you know, for this 383 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,360 series. And you know, if you would have 384 00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:18,640 had think about it, really it going back a week or so ago, I 385 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,840 would have thought that it would be the complete antithesis of 386 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,680 what it's actually right now. I thought the Yankees would be 387 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,440 rolling. I thought the Mets would be 388 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,000 dead. And here we are. 389 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,960 The Mets are rolling and the Yankees are tripping all over 390 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,520 themselves because their lineup stinks and their bullpen has 391 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,200 thrown up all over themselves too many times when they've 392 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,000 tried to protect lead. So I'm into it. 393 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,520 I would say somebody's going to win two out of three. 394 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,760 I think it's going to be the Yankees really only because I 395 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,560 really like the pitching matchup tonight, even though I've got a 396 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,120 lot of respect for Clay Holmes. And who knows, you know, maybe 397 00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:54,560 the Yankees bang that sinker into the ground and they hit 398 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,080 into a couple of double plays and the Yankees just don't hit, 399 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,600 which they haven't really been hitting. 400 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,960 Who knows? And it's hard to elevate that 401 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,400 sinker. So I wouldn't expect a ton of 402 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,320 home runs. From the Yankees tonight. 403 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,960 But it does feel different. One, that I thought it would 404 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,760 feel and two, you know, subsequently it it, it's got a 405 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,560 layer of interest and intrigue that that I'm ready for. 406 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,160 I'm excited for tonight. I'm excited for the weekend. 407 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,280 And if the Yankees sweep them now, the Mets go back in their 408 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,400 hole and the Yankee fans, you know, thump the chest and the 409 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,320 Yankee fans feel really good about how there there's been a 410 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:31,000 little bit of over recalibration after this sloppy play. 411 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,200 If the Mets sweep and even if the Mets win two or three, I 412 00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:40,400 think there's a chance that, you know, but almost I want to say 413 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,440 the entire tone of the Mets season changes. 414 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,200 But like, I don't want to go nuts here. 415 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,960 But I did have conviction in the Mets coming into the season. 416 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,960 So it would be more consistent with what I thought the Mets 417 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,200 would be. You know, I, I didn't think that 418 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,600 they'd be wretched. I liked what they did this 419 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,800 offseason. Crazy thing is Polanco's not 420 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,040 playing tonight, Luis Roberts not playing tonight. 421 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,440 But the one thing that I liked about the Mets, and I obviously 422 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,520 thought Lindor would be healthy and Soda would have better 423 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,800 numbers, whatever, he wouldn't have missed 15 games. 424 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,240 But like the the reason I thought the Mets could be 425 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,400 interesting this year and I had him at 91 wins is because when 426 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,160 you start with a rotation of Peralta and McClain, I mean that 427 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,240 that's giving you a chance to be really good. 428 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,720 And then you throw in somebody like Soda was a great hitter. 429 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,960 And the other pieces that I like, don't love. 430 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,720 But like some of the other pieces, I didn't think the Mets 431 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,480 would look like this to start the year, you know, So it is on 432 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,840 J Rod, I am excited for the Subway Series. 433 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,440 Now this is the game that you've got. 434 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,800 You've got this. You've got to go to one of these 435 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:39,280 games. You went to the Yankee game. 436 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,760 I know I'm thinking about some definitely thinking about 437 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,840 Sunday. I got my cousin's bat mitzvah 438 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,120 this weekend. So I'm thinking this Sunday. 439 00:21:46,120 --> 00:21:49,200 Oh, yeah, I'm going to try to go to Citi Field now. 440 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,840 What is the theme of the bat mitzvah here? 441 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,880 What do we have going on? Specific theme? 442 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:54,920 I don't think so. I think it's just kind of like a 443 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,400 daytime function sort of deal. I mean, no, no big theme. 444 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,680 No, I don't. I honestly, I don't think so. 445 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,840 You guys raking the money, don't you, with the bat mitzvahs in 446 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:04,880 the bar now, don't you? You know, it really like the 447 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,760 Jewish wedding. Here come the envelopes. 448 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:07,760 Let's go. Come on. 449 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,400 You got that and then you got the Jewish. 450 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,880 You got the bat mitzvah and then you got the Jewish wedding later 451 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,240 on. You got the double whammy. 452 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,240 Yes, you do. But lucky. 453 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,520 But yeah, no, I mean, depending on your part, party size. 454 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,920 But when you're that kid, you never it. 455 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,040 It depends. But I feel like you never see 456 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,600 the dough. Like I've never seen the money I 457 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,560 had for my bar mitzvah. I think maybe I used it on a 458 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,400 couple vacations, like, oh, your parents took it. 459 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:32,600 Yeah. Yeah, big time. 460 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:34,440 Put it away. Come on now. 461 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,240 Hold on. They put it away for you or they 462 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,560 put away for you. OK. 463 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,560 That's the right move. That's the way. 464 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,440 I mean, I although I do think I used a good amount of it on like 465 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,120 going to like I went to Europe my junior a year. 466 00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:49,720 So like, I think maybe some of that. 467 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,160 But yeah, for the most part, I feel like most of the time you 468 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,320 just keep that packet away. Yes, you do. 469 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:56,160 Yes, you do. Now when you went to here, did 470 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,360 you hit Amsterdam? I know you, you were on. 471 00:22:58,360 --> 00:23:00,800 Now, of course, I don't know if we've ever spoken that. 472 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,600 Yeah, dude, no, we haven't talked about that. 473 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,960 I mean, London is like my old time. 474 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:09,720 I love that city. But Amsterdam, great #2 dude, 475 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:11,720 now they've so they've got the I've heard somebody. 476 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,440 Now listen, I'm at the point now #1 to me, not that I wouldn't do 477 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,200 it, but, and, and maybe I'm off base with this, but if you're 478 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,400 going to Amsterdam, right to me now. 479 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,120 I almost went to Greece for our honeymoon. 480 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:24,760 We wound up going to Costa Rica instead. 481 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,040 But and I and I want and we're looking at a family trip, either 482 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,880 Scotland or Ireland, play some golf right down. 483 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,960 Not, not this summer, probably next summer. 484 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,840 But I think that like to go to Amsterdam with your wife. 485 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,080 I don't know. Wouldn't you rather go with the 486 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,640 boys? Yeah. 487 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,600 I don't know. Amsterdam with your wife would 488 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,720 be kind of funny. Like, it is a scenic place. 489 00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,480 Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not. But like, you don't want to not 490 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,680 to get too crazy. You don't want to walk around 491 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,040 the red light district with your wife unless she's into it. 492 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,400 Hey, maybe you shouldn't be looking through the glass just 493 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,800 going. Oh, my gosh, I know. 494 00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,960 Like, I know it is it is a kind of it's it's it's a very 495 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,520 beautiful city. So I understand that in that 496 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,720 sense where the river is gorgeous, the buildings are 497 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,680 gorgeous. If you leave the city, Oh my, 498 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,560 like the the landscapes and stuff, but it is a very 499 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,800 degenerate place at heart. Like, but it's it's like it's 500 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,120 like Europe's Vegas without the gambling to an extent. 501 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,480 Whatever you want, you go get as you say, like it's the only 502 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,040 place I think I've seen where you could bang back heaters, as 503 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:32,520 you say, in an indoor space. Like it is just the IT is a wild 504 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,880 city bar. Literally a bar is every spot. 505 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,600 Don't even get me started on the greenery. 506 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,600 The weed bars are just regular everything because the bars will 507 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,880 be both an alcohol bar, but it'll be a bar with weed inside. 508 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,800 Like they just smell terrible, dude. 509 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,040 Well, they like smell terrible, but you're going to have a great 510 00:24:53,120 --> 00:24:54,080 time. Oh yeah, they give you at the 511 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,120 end of the night. You're literally like stumbling 512 00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:00,800 around, like just lying on the streets there. 513 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,680 It's probably good that I never went when I was younger. 514 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,520 But when you go, they give you a menu, right? 515 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:05,680 And you just get to pick the different. 516 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,160 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's kind of like that. 517 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,240 I mean, it's similar to like some of them are more similar to 518 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,840 like a New York based shop, but a lot of them are kind of a 519 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,760 communal space where you're just sitting. 520 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,240 They've got like crazy ventilation. 521 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520 It's a it's a fun city. It's a fun city. 522 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,400 All right, all right, let me read this here. 523 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,840 Let me see Yanks four and six in their last ten out. 524 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,560 They get swept and Freed's out for weeks and they've got 525 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,080 Toronto and Tampa next. Oh boy, get ready. 526 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,240 That is a that is a very good, that's a good, that's a good 527 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,760 message. Hopefully it's not a prescient, 528 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,920 prescient 1 here. Like I don't want that to happen 529 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,280 because that just imagine that like that's it's not worst case 530 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,920 because you word it weeks with freed and not months. 531 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,240 And I don't think it's going to be months. 532 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,000 I wouldn't like an update. Jeez. 533 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:57,600 You know, But if the Yankees get swept now #1 instead of losing 6 534 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,560 of 10, now it's, they have lost. Well, whatever. 535 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,080 I don't know why my brains not firing today. 536 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:04,160 But you know, the math. It's not. 537 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,440 It's worse than losing 6 of 10. God, that's such basic stuff. 538 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,440 But it's not coming to be #1 Right. 539 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:11,160 And then you got to deal with the nonsense. 540 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,960 And I don't really care about this, but you know, the Mets 541 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:14,400 fans going to be strutting around then. 542 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,720 And listen, if the Mets fans sweep the Yankees, that you got 543 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,240 to do that. If you don't do that, what 544 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,280 happened? And if the Yank now the Yankee, 545 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,360 I believe if the Mets sweep the Yankees, the Mets fan, like 546 00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:27,960 they've always, they're always going to act a little more giddy 547 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,400 because they don't, they don't know how to win as much. 548 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,560 I mean, you know, no disrespect to the Met fan, I love you. 549 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,840 But, you know, when you haven't won since Run DMC was pumping 550 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,880 out, you know, Peter Piper in 1986, Yeah. 551 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,160 You don't really know how to act sometimes when you win. 552 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,960 Where's the Yankee fan? Yeah. 553 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,240 And of course, some of these younger Yankee fans, they'll be 554 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,040 over the top and they'll be, you know, impossible to be around. 555 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,000 But, you know, I think the Yankee fan kind of expects to 556 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,520 sweep even though they're not playing well. 557 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,840 Where's the Mets fan? I don't think that they expect 558 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,160 to sweep. So you'd have a little different 559 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:00,320 energy there. But the then you throw in the 560 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,880 freed stuff, even if it is weeks, he's not pitching for a 561 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,640 while if that's the case. So you're not playing well. 562 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,360 You come with all three more losses and then you got freed 563 00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:10,560 out for a couple of more weeks based on that chat. 564 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,560 And then you've got to deal with Toronto and Tampa and Yankees 565 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,200 haven't played a whole lot of good teams yet. 566 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,200 And when they have, they have not played well and we all what 567 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,560 are they 1:00 and 9:00 or 1:00 and 8:00 against good teams? 568 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,040 I mean, they've beaten up on some shitty teams here. 569 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,840 Now, that's also part of being a good team and, you know, pumping 570 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:32,600 out, you know, 949596 wins the the amount that you need. 571 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,080 So, you know, make sure you secure a division and and 572 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,880 certainly make sure you're a top wild card. 573 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,760 But and the Yankees are always good at that. 574 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,800 They always beat the bad teams. Like, you never have to really 575 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,800 worry about the Yankees not showing up and not obliterating 576 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,520 bad teams. So they're going to get to that 577 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,640 requisite win total no matter what. 578 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,080 I mean, I'm not. I'm not worried about that. 579 00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:54,320 That's why I really do think that the intrigue here lies more 580 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,440 with the Mets. It just lies with the Mets. 581 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:02,640 You just never know, you know, from humble beginnings where you 582 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:03,240 know. All right, yeah. 583 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,960 Win a couple of games on the road during that last road trip. 584 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,320 OK, I am. Get a little payback on the 585 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,920 Rockies, man. Didn't play well against the 586 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,160 Diamondbacks, and then, boom, you respond nicely right away. 587 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,640 Win, win, win against the Tigers. 588 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,240 And the Mets fans feel pretty good about themselves right now. 589 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,320 So you got Schlittler Holmes. I think you got Rodan. 590 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,160 I don't think the Mets have announced their starter 591 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,120 tomorrow. Check this morning. 592 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:28,120 I don't think they have yet. And then weather's Peralta is 593 00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:31,200 going to be a lot of fun on Sunday and I cannot wait till I 594 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,080 got it. You know, I'm not saying he's 595 00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:36,160 Randy Johnson here, but it's a lot of fun watching Weathers 596 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,120 who's got, you know, the ability to bring no hit stuff out of the 597 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,160 pen every time he pitches because he's flat out filthy 598 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,040 man. And he almost threw on the other 599 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,200 night against Baltimore. So it is lined up for the 600 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:52,160 Yankees to either stifle that momentum, give him the Heisman. 601 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,040 All right, Matt, you had fun for seven 8-9 days. 602 00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,520 Get back in your hold. You going nowhere. 603 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,720 You know it's it's going to be a 747576 win season. 604 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,280 Get out of here or the Mets do that. 605 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,440 The Yankees and now the Yankee fears become amplified. 606 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,600 The noise around the Yankees gets louder and louder and 607 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,720 louder. The Mets continue to play good 608 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,200 solid Chris baseball. And you know, you just you, you 609 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,320 just don't know where things are going to go. 610 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,720 You don't know when the like. There's a lot of variables too. 611 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,920 You don't know when the doors coming back. 612 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,720 You don't know when Max Freeze coming back, as much as I've sat 613 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,520 here and I believe it, but it's still got to come to fruition. 614 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,960 You know, until I see Gerard Cole on a Major League mound 615 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,040 looking something like Gerard Cole, you know, you can't say 616 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,120 it's a given, even though I presented it as a given. 617 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,560 I mean, I know he's going to come back, but you know, is he 618 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,880 going to be Gerard Cole? Is he going to be 50% of Gerard 619 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,440 Cole, which to me wouldn't be good enough? 620 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,400 Is he going to be 8085%, which would be good enough in my 621 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,840 opinion. I don't know. 622 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,680 I don't have those answers yet, but it's going to be fun and I 623 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,720 cannot wait. Subway Series weather's going to 624 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:01,760 be good tonight. Let's go. 625 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:03,520 All right, we'll get the calls fired up. 626 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,800 We'll get into the chats. I'll get into The Jets and the 627 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,760 Giants schedule. I got a little something on the 628 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,880 Cavs and the Pistons tonight. First up, who do we have today? 629 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,400 J Rod. Let's got our got our buddy 630 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,120 Frankie in Monroe. Frankie, Frankie, Frankie. 631 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,280 What up there, Frank? Good morning, Brandon. 632 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:24,560 What's happening? Hey, listen, I don't, I don't, I 633 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,360 don't want to get too excited, right? 634 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,960 I'm I'm I'm a 65 year old Yankee fan, but I I've seen many 635 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,680 iterations. Of of this. 636 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,200 Team. Dude, we have four or five guys 637 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:42,360 in the lineup every night that are at 200 or under 200. 638 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,520 When did that become OK? It's not. 639 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:50,280 Like what are we? Doing like, are we going to 640 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,320 start making some? Let's package these kids. 641 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,560 Let's get some ball players here. 642 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:56,880 I don't. I don't. 643 00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,480 Care what? We got to win now. 644 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,440 We got to win now. By the way, just Frank, Frank, 645 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,280 hold on. Just for clarity purposes, when 646 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,080 you say win now, you mean win this year. 647 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,480 I know you want to. You don't mean this weekend even 648 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:09,920 though you want to win this weekend, but. 649 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,760 No, Yeah, forget about that. This year. 650 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:18,080 We're not going to have, we might not have baseball next 651 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,560 year, right? Judge is running out of time. 652 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,960 Listen, we got four guys in the lineup that are good. 653 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:30,640 Chisholm is is a little is OK. Yeah, I'm not. 654 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,560 Chisholm Caballero, OH. Oh yeah, yeah, I like Cabbie. 655 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,520 Yeah. Everybody else stinks. 656 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,280 They do. They stink. 657 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,080 Yep. I don't I don't know what the 658 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,200 answer is, but there's got to be 1. 659 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,280 Well, I'm going to give you what the answer is and before I do 660 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,000 that and and thank you for the call there, Frank. 661 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,520 Enjoy the games. Let's go, Yanks from our point 662 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,600 of view, Met fans, let's go where you at? 663 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,840 Come on, let's let's represent a little here Met fan. 664 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:57,240 I mean Grisham, even though you know, it's just you know, it is 665 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,720 what it is. I've said everything I need to 666 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,400 say about Grisham. You know, I mean, I don't think 667 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,960 he's going to hit 175 this year, which is where he's at now. 668 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,560 Jazz is AT2O3 and Jazz is on my last nerve. 669 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,960 I would either trade him. I would and I asked Boone the 670 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,440 other day straight up. I said, hey, if this thing 671 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,640 doesn't improve with with him, with Jazz, with Jazz Chisholm, 672 00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,240 you know, is there a chance he's going to be a platoon player? 673 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,280 And he did not run from that. Like everything's on the table 674 00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,040 for the Yankees this year. I really believe that when 675 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,640 Caballero comes back, you know, Lombard, the average is low in 676 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,520 the minors, right? But he's hit the ball hard. 677 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,000 You're not going to call him up, hit 180. 678 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,760 I I get that. And you're not going to hit call 679 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,440 him up. Even if he was hitting 3/30 680 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,760 after a week, you're going to let him marinate down there a 681 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,040 little bit. But I asked Boone about Lombard. 682 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,760 I fully believe George Lombard will be in pinstripes this year. 683 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,640 He will be on the Yankees this year. 684 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,720 And if that's the case, and if Jazz doesn't get his act 685 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,640 together, Caballero comes back. He's healthy. 686 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,120 Gabby and short. You got a little you want to 687 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:58,120 throw a Lombard at second or probably, you know, more 688 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,320 logically, you put Lombard at short, you put Caballero at 689 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,040 second or Volpe's actually doing something and poor Volpe's just 690 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,040 thrust into that. Hey, welcome back, buddy. 691 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,160 You know every you boot a routine ground to your first 692 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,160 game back, everybody's all over you. 693 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:15,680 Nobody want and and I'm not saying me, but most of you want 694 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,720 you gone. Nobody really believes in you. 695 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,680 You make an error of your first game back. 696 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,200 You strike out and here we go. Did you thrust right into the 697 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,400 energy of the subway series? Go get them, buddy. 698 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,120 Like that's you know, that's tough. 699 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:28,640 That's going to testament to resolve. 700 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,240 But if Volpe can actually piece something together, well, you do 701 00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,520 have a lot of options. And that's how I address 702 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,840 Frankie's call. Like how does it get better? 703 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,640 Where does it get better? Well, you know, if Ryan McMahon 704 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,440 still hitting, I know he's been a little bit better lately, but 705 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,480 Ryan McMahon's hitting $1.96. For all the progress that Ryan 706 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,760 McMahon had for those three weeks, he's not even hitting 707 00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,480 200. So you got Grisham at $1.75, 708 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:56,240 Jazz AT2O3, McMahon at 196, both beats one game, zero. 709 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,440 But yeah, it's not like he's a 290 hitter. 710 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,600 He's a 220 hitter for his career. 711 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,120 So you have to think he's probably going to be in that 712 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,840 neighborhood again, because I have seen no mechanical fixes in 713 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,000 the small samples swinging the same exact way, which means he's 714 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,760 susceptible to the same exact stuff, which which means he's 715 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,800 going to be an easy out again until proven otherwise. 716 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,159 Low average. And then Austin Wells, who you 717 00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:21,520 know, I mean, I was, I was right and I was wrong on Austin Wells 718 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,120 because I remember saying that two years ago. 719 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,520 Austin Wells going to be a 2025 home run guy. 720 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:30,360 And he is, I mean, now he's got, he's got 5 harpy eyes and it's 721 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,520 the middle of May, he's got three home runs, five ribbies. 722 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,960 I mean, good God. And that's, that's, that's all 723 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,120 that's almost hard to do when you basically play every day. 724 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:42,440 How can you play this amount of games and have 5 freaking harpy 725 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,639 eyes, dude? It's just, it's, it's 726 00:34:44,639 --> 00:34:48,040 inconceivable to think that your production could be that bad. 727 00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,600 But he's a low average guy. Now he's on base a little bit 728 00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:54,960 more than Volpe. You know, he does draw some 729 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,679 walks. Not that I'm hanging my hat on 730 00:34:56,679 --> 00:35:00,200 that, but there are a lot of automatic outs in this Yankee 731 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,920 lineup. And the only way it changes is 732 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,640 for Lombard to earn a promotion at some point, and whatever that 733 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,000 could be in July, whatever. At some point he's going to be 734 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,640 here. And then you're going to have to 735 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,520 piece together and make some tough decisions, whether you 736 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,120 trade Jazz, whether you send Volpe back down to the minors, 737 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,680 you know, whether it's Lombard short or Caballero at short or, 738 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,240 you know, Cobby, Let's say, let's say, let's say Volpe. 739 00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,280 Let's say Volpe's showing something and Lombard gets the 740 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,040 elevation and Caballero. Somebody want to play every day. 741 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:34,800 I mean, I don't know. Is it completely off the table 742 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,040 that at some point this year, whenever that is, you see, you 743 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,360 know, Caballero with third base or Rosario against the lefties 744 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:45,000 and then, you know, Lombard at shortstop and were, you know, 745 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,520 Cal again, Cabby at third, Lombard at short and Volpe at 746 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,160 second. I mean, I don't know if the 747 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:53,960 Yankees are really willing to now have Volpe learn a new 748 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,160 position in the middle of a season when he's trying to 749 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,080 figure out his, you know, how to hit at this level. 750 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,920 That's probably not an easy thing to do that. 751 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,720 So, but but those are some internal options and the 752 00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:10,520 external options, either you make a trade for Mike Trout or 753 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:12,760 you know, and I don't wish this for my boy Donnie Baseball. 754 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,080 You know, the Phillies who have really played well from 755 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,440 Mattingly, they reverse course and they fall apart and you try 756 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,280 to trade for Bryce Harper or something like you just, you 757 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,040 know, this line up is going to be addressed. 758 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,720 There's no way it's not going to be addressed. 759 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,200 It's got to be addressed. So, you know, just a lot of dead 760 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,200 weight there, man. It is some ugly stuff. 761 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,840 You know, really, some of the advanced numbers on the Yankees 762 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,080 are are painfully bad. I mean, whether it's batting 763 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,280 average with two strikes or, you know, how they play against 764 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:47,040 teams over 500, some situational stats are not incredibly kind to 765 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,800 them. You listen, you've seen this. 766 00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,720 You saw it against Baltimore the other night and you saw it over 767 00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:55,560 the weekend in Milwaukee where the Yankees had a chance to tack 768 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,520 on a run. You know, think about the at bat 769 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,720 judge double. You got a little ground ball 770 00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:02,720 right side textbook baseball belly pulls it, get something he 771 00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:04,720 can pull. Boom, Judge the third Jazz 772 00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:07,920 swinger, like he's a skinny Babe Ruth punch out and you leave a 773 00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,400 run on the table and it cost you. 774 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,840 And you know, that's not just an isolated example. 775 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,080 Like it's not like the Yankees are so good at that. 776 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,120 So buttoned up at that where I'm like at, you know, that's a long 777 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:21,160 season, you know, and you're not going to do it every time they 778 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,720 there's too many issues or too many nights where they do do 779 00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:26,720 that rather than doing it effectively, you know? 780 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,880 I mean, yeah, they're rolling out three good hitters right 781 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,520 now. You got Judge, you got Rice, you 782 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,720 got Bellinger. That's it, that's it. 783 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:34,920 You know, and I know that everybody's selling me on all 784 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:36,120 Grisham's. There's Grisham. 785 00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,760 That's it 175 like don't waste my time when you're hitting one. 786 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:45,320 Listen, it's one thing if you're hitting 2/22/26 2:31 and you 787 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,920 lift up the hood and you see, you know, expected on base, 788 00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:52,360 expected slugging, barrel raid walk rate, K Ray, favorable hard 789 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:56,000 hit rate. Don't even and I love that, but 790 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,280 I don't want to hear it when you're hitting $1.75 not 791 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,520 interested. I'm just not, you know, I know 792 00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,680 my guy Boone says it, you know, but he knows I'm not interested 793 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,560 in hearing about Grisham. I don't want to hear about 794 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,840 Booney. What do we got here? 795 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:11,400 Mets are going to take a couple of games here. 796 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,320 The blonde bear 52 O six. Well, I mean, they might. 797 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,200 I mean, I'm not going to sit here and say the Mets can't win. 798 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,640 They very well might. I would say for the Mets to win, 799 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,680 too, you better win tonight. And I don't think you're beating 800 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:22,480 Schlittler. And I'm not saying this with 801 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,920 incredible company, even, like, even if Schlittler wins. 802 00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,640 Yeah, I can see the Yankees losing, you know, the next two. 803 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,880 I mean, obviously I can see Rodon having a rough outing. 804 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,960 You know, the weather's Peralta would probably be more of a 805 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,880 battle of the bullpen because Peralta's not going to give you 806 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,840 great length. You know, weather has shown the 807 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,280 ability to do that. But if if you don't get that, 808 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,200 you know, Yankees are being and the Mets as well. 809 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,760 But the Yankees going to be called upon to give the baseball 810 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:52,600 to whether it's a Duval, Duval or Bednar who always makes you 811 00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,560 sweat, who's better than Duval, but still. 812 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,440 And he's he's not Mariano. He's not Goose. 813 00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,560 You know, it's going to be an interesting weekend of 814 00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,080 evaluation of the baseball diamond. 815 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,000 Can't wait for it. I really am ready for it. 816 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,240 I'm ready for it. I'm going to get into The Jets 817 00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:07,520 and the Giants schedule in a bit. 818 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,440 Dominguez, when he comes back, needs to lead off. 819 00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,320 Yeah, I would actually like that. 820 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:12,880 I don't think it'll really happen with any sort of 821 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,520 frequency. I asked Aaron Boone the other 822 00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,760 day, like why would you just not even against lefties. 823 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,600 I don't care. I want to hear about splits and 824 00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,360 stuff because he's shown enough he can hit lefties. 825 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,800 So like, I would just literally bat Ben Rice 1st every single 826 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,120 game. Every single game. 827 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,520 You know he's he's not going to run. 828 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:32,800 But what I mean, when the hell does? 829 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,640 When does Grisham steal the base? 830 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,840 Christian, he's at for a center fielder. 831 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,560 I don't think he runs well at all. 832 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,440 I know he tracks most of the balls, but on the bases I don't. 833 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:43,960 I don't think he does anything on the bases. 834 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,680 He doesn't try to run and, you know, doubling the gap from 835 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,080 first base like he's flying around like Jazz or Volpe or or 836 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,920 Dominguez. Those guys can run. 837 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,000 So yeah, I'm done with him as a lead off man. 838 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,960 You know that, You know, Rice 1 judge 2. 839 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,200 So you got a lefty, then you go judge 2, then you go and and I 840 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:03,880 just want to write this out. I want to make sure I don't miss 841 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,920 anything because I did bring this up to Aaron and I I 842 00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,760 understand his answer and he could only. 843 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,720 Jot down the names, but the Yankees are very lefty laden. 844 00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:16,360 Too much so. It's funny they went years ago 845 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,000 when they had no lefties like Brett Gartner and Gardner. 846 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,800 That was about it. They had all righties, which 847 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,520 makes no sense for a team that plays 81 games at the stadium 848 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,160 with a fence that's 314 feet away. 849 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,120 I mean, listen, there's been basically 2 constants in the 850 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,360 Yankee universe forever #1 you better have some left-handed 851 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,640 pitching to neutralize the opponent's lefty sticks with the 852 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,320 short porch, whether it's a padded, whether it's a guidry, 853 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,840 whether it's Whitey Ford, all those lefties, right? 854 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,960 And the other thing that you always better have is lefty 855 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,640 thumb, right? And they didn't have lefty thumb 856 00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,320 and now they've almost got, you know, not maybe not enough 857 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,960 thump, but too many lefties. So they need a little bit more 858 00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,520 balance in this lineup. And and obviously, if Dominguez 859 00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,200 and I know a smaller sample look better from the right side in 860 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:07,000 the minors and before he got hurt, but they they don't, I can 861 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,880 promise you Boone's not going to run them out there first ever. 862 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,800 He didn't trust him enough. So with that, I've got to 863 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,480 operate with what I would do and then also weigh in and factor in 864 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,440 what I believe and what I know he's inclined to do and not to 865 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,720 do. So again, this is not a perfect 866 00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:25,800 lineup I'm going to construct here, but let me see 3456789 and 867 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,320 I'm going to work it now with with the current lineup. 868 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,240 And I'm going to put I mean, Caballero is going to be back 869 00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:34,840 real soon. So why the hell you hit him? 870 00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,400 I'd rather him first then then Grisham, but I would go rice 871 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,040 one. And I've said that and I said to 872 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:46,160 Aaron, I'm like, if Otani can hit first, come on, I mean, Ben 873 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,760 Rice could hit first, right? So I would go Rice one lefty, 874 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,360 obviously judge 2 righty. I'm going belly free lefty, you 875 00:41:55,360 --> 00:41:57,160 know, and that's speed too. When he beat out that double 876 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,720 play the other night, like that's that's one of the things 877 00:41:59,720 --> 00:42:01,480 about bell injury. It's just a baseball player. 878 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,960 That's one of the reasons I'm so happy he stayed Rice judge 879 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:08,120 belly. And I got to start thinking here 880 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:12,560 like, you know, if Stanton was healthy and Stanton was here and 881 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,040 easy pencil him in righty not healthy and he never is. 882 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,840 So he's not even running yet. So you can't do it with you 883 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:24,360 can't do that with him. I mean, I guess, I guess you can 884 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:30,240 do I mean, I can play this game all day, but I I just know that 885 00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:31,760 they're not going to do certain things. 886 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,160 I was going to, you know, try to construct a line up here with 887 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,520 cabbie first or I'm not a good do it. 888 00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,920 Like they just they need to make a move at some point. 889 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:44,200 I think we all know this and the Mets are going to have to make a 890 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,200 move. And it's crazy too, because 891 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,160 talking about the moves that the Yankees are going to need to 892 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,560 make at some point, high leverage bullpen arm or righty 893 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,480 stick at some point. That's why Mike Trout will be 894 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,480 great. I don't care how much is left on 895 00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,800 his contract. I don't care. 896 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:00,880 And I know he's revitalized this year. 897 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,760 You throw Mike Trout in a Pennant race, you know, with 898 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,400 40,000 there every night with Judge, are you? 899 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,080 And they're boys too. Are you kidding me? 900 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,440 I mean that he's a righty. He can run, you know, I mean, it 901 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,480 solves everything. So I've talked about what I 902 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,640 think the Yankees are going to need to do and you know, it's 903 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:19,240 funny. I mean, up until this this 904 00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:22,440 recent search here, we were beginning to talk about on a 905 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:26,040 very cursory level, because I wanted to be fair, because it is 906 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,480 early. We were beginning to talk about, 907 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,720 all right, I mean, are the Mets going to trade Peralta? 908 00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:34,640 Are they going to have a fire sale and get rid of Bichette? 909 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,400 I mean, it was looking that way. I mean, really, I mean, Mendy 910 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,600 was hanging by a thread. Everybody can't stand Stearns. 911 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,720 You know, Cohen is getting knocked around a little bit in 912 00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:46,320 the court of public opinion right now. 913 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,000 Soda was hurt. You know, Lindor is hurt and 914 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,160 here we go, you know, but it's it's we have learned here, J 915 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:58,160 Rod, we have learned, or at least I have learned and many of 916 00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:03,680 you should learn to not be as definitive, not to not to dig in 917 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:08,040 quite to the point in in May or even in June with a baseball 918 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,760 team like we usually do. Can we at least learn that 919 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,640 lesson Little just a little prudence, a little caution, a 920 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:18,560 little understanding. It's a long race. 921 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:20,680 Doesn't mean we can't talk about holes. 922 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,520 Doesn't mean we can't get worked up. 923 00:44:22,720 --> 00:44:25,800 But to have that that finality attached to it, that definitive 924 00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,480 take like like, you know, like no way can they make the 925 00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,880 playoffs have to sell everybody like the Mets or the Yankees 926 00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:36,080 cannot win with this. Like everybody relax and just 927 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,600 enjoy baseball for what it is. It's a nightly of beauty when 928 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,720 they're playing well and it's a nightly cause source of 929 00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:47,040 consternation when they're not. That's what baseball is in this 930 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,000 town, you know what I mean? No, I mean, and it's interesting 931 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,600 to just to see how quickly the, you know, the fire, Mendoza, all 932 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,880 these, you know, obviously you're still hearing fire. 933 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,760 David Stearns here and there, no doubt about that. 934 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,600 And they can't stand them. But like the Mendoza talks have 935 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,960 really quieted since they've gotten, you know, gotten a 936 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,360 little better and obviously that makes sense. 937 00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,680 So now so it's like, you know, and I think for him now that 938 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,600 they've had this little stretch, he's likely safe for the rest of 939 00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,680 the season. You don't think so unless you 940 00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,360 easy young buck. Let's not go nuts here. 941 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,320 You think if it if it really goes way back down it it could 942 00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,320 it gets turbulent. Yes, absolutely. 943 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,280 I do. I mean, David Stearns has 944 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,520 already been asked twice when he does his press conference every 945 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,480 couple of weeks about the managers job security. 946 00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,840 And you know, like that's something else I learned. 947 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,760 Like just because it's good now doesn't mean it's going to 948 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,080 remain that way. And I really do. 949 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:45,320 I hope not because I like Mandy. I don't think he's a great man. 950 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,560 I think he's OK. He's got some flaws and I don't 951 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,280 think this Mets roster is going anywhere the way they're the way 952 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,560 they're built now. But no, I I think that that is 953 00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,120 naive. With all due respect to you, to 954 00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,160 my Guy J Rod like to think that just because they've kind of 955 00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,960 salvage and stabilized things now that if it, if the 956 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,120 turbulence comes back, and I don't mean like if they lose 2 957 00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,160 out of three this weekend and then lose 2 more the next 958 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,720 series, that he's going to get fired at me. 959 00:46:11,720 --> 00:46:14,960 I'm not saying that, but there's a lot of baseball to go. 960 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:18,160 And one thing about baseball, the beauty of baseball, it's 961 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,600 there every night. It's a companion, and that's 962 00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,960 good when things are good. When things are bad, that 963 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,560 becomes a massive issue for whomever's job is on the line, 964 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,080 whatever it might be. So I wouldn't agree with that. 965 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,480 I don't know that to be true. I don't. 966 00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,040 Maybe Stearns, his arrogance will prevent him from doing 967 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,320 something because he, he brought him in. 968 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:41,000 He's his guy. And if he, if he fires Stearns, 969 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,920 there's no body to put up. Pardon me, if he fires Mendy, 970 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,360 there's no body literally to put in front of him to take the heat 971 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,280 from the Mets fans. Because once Mendoza's gone, I 972 00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:51,600 mean, it's already towards Stearns. 973 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,000 But if Mendy's gone, you know, now you got nowhere to hide, 974 00:46:55,120 --> 00:47:00,480 nobody to shield them, you know? Good talk there, Jay. 975 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:03,600 Good talk. What else? 976 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:08,680 Oh, and by the way, the thing about Mendoza, like I, I listen 977 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:13,000 there, there are times when things come up that I think are 978 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:19,640 premature, unfair, unfounded, and we've just got to give 979 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,120 somebody a little time to, to establish themselves. 980 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,680 I, I just think that like that, that happens in New York, It 981 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,800 happens in certain cities nationally, Philly, Boston, 982 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:30,720 Chicago. Sometimes we know the cities 983 00:47:30,720 --> 00:47:34,800 right that are just a little bit of a different speed or laced 984 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,960 with either negativity or just wrongness, whatever it might be. 985 00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:42,640 What I was saying about Mendoza, To be fair, I was saying this at 986 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,960 the end of last year. I remember saying on the fans 987 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,880 several times, I'm like, hey, he had a really good first year. 988 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:51,000 He had an awful second year and I documented a lot of things. 989 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,840 He whether it's pinch running or bullpen mismanagement or playing 990 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,600 Vientos at third base too much over Beatty, who can pick it 991 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:00,960 much better. Like I I, I don't need to again 992 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,800 go through it all, but I gave you tangible reasons why Mendoza 993 00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,600 had an awful year last year. Now other people have for 994 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:09,960 opinions. I don't agree with that. 995 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,200 I mean, I just thought he was bad, all right. 996 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,600 But having said that, to be fair to Carlos Mendoza, who I do 997 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,440 think is a good baseball man, because year 1 was so 998 00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,480 unexpectedly good and the vibes were good and the young players 999 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,360 were showing progress, vientos, etcetera. 1000 00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:29,440 To me, year 3 would be the ultimate evaluation. 1001 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:35,120 So while, but, but I did clearly establish if it's not good in 1002 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,640 year 3, I don't care how early it is, I would fire him. 1003 00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:40,800 I, I have said that and I stand by that. 1004 00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:44,280 So I do think that that will resurface at some point because 1005 00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,800 as much as I'm hopeful, because I want to see both teams do 1006 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,200 well, not this weekend. You know, it's better for, for 1007 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,240 business. It's more enjoyable when both 1008 00:48:52,240 --> 00:48:55,080 teams are good and viable. And it also keeps the 1009 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,280 possibility of a Subway Series alive, which as a Yankee fan, I 1010 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,760 say bring on. A lot of Mets fans don't want 1011 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,280 the smoke, which I don't understand. 1012 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:07,080 I remember, Evan, what? When was it? 1013 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,720 I guess it would have been a couple of years ago when, let's 1014 00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:15,560 say 20 in 24, right when the Yankees made the World Series 1015 00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,520 and the Mets had this really good run. 1016 00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,120 And like a lot of Mets fans who were great Met fans, they didn't 1017 00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,600 want to play the Yankees in the World Series. 1018 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:27,480 Now I of course I hear that. I take that as, oh, what are you 1019 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:28,920 scared, you know, kind of messing around. 1020 00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:31,560 Oh, you don't want that that Yankee smoke and you know, all 1021 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,320 the Yankees own you. Hey, up, up, up. 1022 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:36,880 Let's go 2000 last time it happened advantage Yankees. 1023 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,000 And I just think it would so it would be so off the charts 1024 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,720 insane that I'm all for it. Like I think that would be great 1025 00:49:43,720 --> 00:49:46,960 for the city revenue, energy, focus, attention. 1026 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,800 We would just own it like New York would own MLB. 1027 00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:56,720 But if I recollect correctly here, it wasn't so much that 1028 00:49:56,720 --> 00:50:00,640 Evan didn't want to play the Yankees because he thought that, 1029 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,120 you know, we, we can't beat the Yankees. 1030 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:06,280 Wasn't that it was more about not wanting to share the stage 1031 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,600 with the Yankees. And, and I guess I get that to 1032 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:14,080 an extent, but put myself in, in Evan's shoes and, you know, all 1033 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,240 the Mets fans, you know, whether it's Loogie Sal, all, all, all 1034 00:50:17,240 --> 00:50:20,640 the Mets fans, I would, if, if I'm subscribing to that, like, 1035 00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,400 hey, I want, I want the Yankees out so that I'm playing, you 1036 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,600 know, the Red Sox or whomever in the American League and all the 1037 00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:29,160 juice in New York is about the Mets. 1038 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,640 I, I do understand that. Like that's a rational thought. 1039 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,520 But then why I would still want to face the Yankees in the World 1040 00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,640 Series if I'm the Mets, if I'm a Met fan, is because now I get 1041 00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,880 the chance for the ultimate trump card. 1042 00:50:42,240 --> 00:50:44,480 Here's my chance. Here's my dagger. 1043 00:50:44,720 --> 00:50:46,160 Because I got news for everybody. 1044 00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:50,120 All the bullshit about owning the city, and here come the Mets 1045 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,520 and little brother and Big Brother my ass. 1046 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:57,000 All that stuff that everybody was throwing out there, which I 1047 00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,960 never got into, but it's funny. Whatever. 1048 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:03,520 It doesn't mean a damn thing until #1 you win a World Series, 1049 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:08,000 OK #1 you could get one Soto. Hell, you could convince ERA 1050 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:12,520 Judge to demand a trade to go to Queens and you know, Freed, if 1051 00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,600 he's healthy and Schlittler. And if they go there and don't 1052 00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,440 win, what does it mean? Which is part of the reason why 1053 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,600 some of these Mets takes. I think I've been really 1054 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:25,680 misguided, you know. But with that being said, if I 1055 00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:32,680 do get there and now I beat the Yankees, the equity and what I 1056 00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:37,720 have and the ability to hold that over your head, honestly, 1057 00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:40,480 depending upon how old you are, it really could be for the rest 1058 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:45,960 of your life because you know, 2000s, almost 3 decades ago, you 1059 00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,640 know what I mean? And just all the different 1060 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,600 variables. And before you know, a Judge 1061 00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,880 won't be Judge and Judge will be retired. 1062 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,440 And who knows what the next phase of the Yankees looks like, 1063 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,640 if they're even good enough to be penciled in for, you know, 1064 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:03,560 939495 wins every year. I mean, at some point the gravy 1065 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,080 trade is going to end and things are going to get lean. 1066 00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,320 It got lean after Mantle. You know, it got lean after, 1067 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,000 obviously it didn't get lean right after the 70s because they 1068 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,320 were good in the early 80s. But then and as great as 1069 00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,920 Mattingly was and as great as Ricky was for the five years and 1070 00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:21,680 Winfield, you know, I mean 77 and 78 and then 81 losing to in 1071 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,360 the World Series, I mean, they, they didn't get back there till 1072 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,320 96. So I don't take things for 1073 00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,920 granted. But I just for the life of me, I 1074 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,560 don't understand if I am a Met fan, why I would not want to 1075 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,920 face the Yankees in the World Series. 1076 00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:41,160 I mean, now understand, if you are a Met fan and you do want 1077 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:47,760 that, well now, now the potential to, you know, just 1078 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,320 shove it down a Yankee fans throat forever. 1079 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,120 And let's face it, you guys, some of you say that you're not 1080 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:56,120 motivated by that. That actually drives many Mets 1081 00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:57,920 fans. Like, I'm not saying that they 1082 00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,240 want to beat the Yankees more than they want the Mets to win, 1083 00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,120 but it's pretty close. Like I can promise you that that 1084 00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:08,680 relationship is a whole hell of a lot closer than the Yankee 1085 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:12,120 fans desire to win and the Yankee fans desire to beat the 1086 00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,520 Mets. I, I mean, I just like it 'cause 1087 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:19,040 it would be fun and, and I think it would be all time insane, but 1088 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:21,520 you know, beating the Mets doesn't do a damn thing for me 1089 00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,320 outside of 2000 would have really meant something. 1090 00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:28,040 So I I don't know, I mean, it's almost like if you don't face 1091 00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:31,520 the Yankees again for a championship, you know, you can 1092 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:34,600 still kind of hold on to that possibility where as if you do 1093 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,160 and you lose, well, now it's just confirmed you really are a 1094 00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,440 little brother when and and so you're not little brother, you 1095 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,200 are. You got to win something. 1096 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,520 So I'm ready for the I'm getting jacked up as the show's going 1097 00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:46,480 on. J Ron, I'm ready. 1098 00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,880 I'm ready for it, man. Yeah, I can't. 1099 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,800 I mean, I can't wait for this weekend, but dude, that would 1100 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,840 just be bonkers. A Yankees, Mets, World Series 1101 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:59,320 would be absolutely. And here's the thing too. 1102 00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:05,520 So in 96, when they won it, I was, I was just out of school 1103 00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,440 and I told you I was at game 6C Hayes. 1104 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,960 I couldn't see him catch it because I was in the upper deck 1105 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,560 all the way back behind the plate. 1106 00:54:11,720 --> 00:54:13,560 I just had to wait for the crowd reaction. 1107 00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:16,160 So I was obviously, you know, living at my parents, just 1108 00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:22,080 graduated in 98. I was working on Wall Street and 1109 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,640 I was trying to break into the business. 1110 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,760 I was tending bar. I was just, you know, just 1111 00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,120 hustling, trying to break the break into the business and I 1112 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,080 was obviously here and I remember when they won, I was in 1113 00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:35,840 Bay Ridge and like just celebrated. 1114 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:38,520 Went absolutely bonkers on 3rd Ave. with with all my buddies 1115 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:43,040 right 99. I was still here as well because 1116 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:45,520 and then I, well, I, I was here for most of it. 1117 00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,960 And then I started my career and I was in Allentown, PA, which is 1118 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:51,520 not far. So I was going to about an hour 1119 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:54,080 and a half away, whatever, an hour, 40 minutes away from from 1120 00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:55,560 New York. So I was going back and forth to 1121 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:56,840 games. I went to a couple of World 1122 00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:58,920 Series games. So I was able to at least 1123 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:04,000 residually enjoy it, even though I was living in PA in 2000 when 1124 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,400 we beat the Mets. I was working in Las Vegas. 1125 00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:11,200 I wasn't even in New York for it, man. 1126 00:55:11,720 --> 00:55:13,880 I want, you know, Nah. I mean, I wish I was a little 1127 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:14,880 younger. I could really, yeah. 1128 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:16,920 I'd be out there every, you know, not even. 1129 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:18,920 I mean, if they do it this year, if they do it next year, I mean, 1130 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:20,480 it comes to a point. I'm not going to be on 3rd Ave. 1131 00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:22,720 and Bay Ridge. Now, I can promise you that I'll 1132 00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:25,360 be, you know, Fireplace will be on and I'll be watching the game 1133 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:28,640 with my family, probably go to a game, but it'll be a totally 1134 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,760 different viewing experience. I want it. 1135 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,280 I absolutely want it. So I think that I'm pretty clear 1136 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,440 about that. But it does confuse me. 1137 00:55:35,720 --> 00:55:39,160 I have always said that and I am willing see, maybe this is the 1138 00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:40,000 difference. I am. 1139 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,400 Maybe it's it's not arrogance. I don't think I'm an arrogant 1140 00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,480 Yankee fan. Some of you might think that I 1141 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,240 am, but that's fine. But if you really listen to me, 1142 00:55:46,240 --> 00:55:50,960 you know that I'm not. I am willing to take the chance 1143 00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:56,240 and run the risk of, of the Mets fan having that last laugh 1144 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,680 because I'm, I'm number one, I'm confident that the Yankees would 1145 00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:00,680 win. And think about that. 1146 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,880 I don't even know who's going to be in the lineups at this point 1147 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,800 in this fictitious 2026 Subway series in October. 1148 00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:11,320 But you know, to, to maintain that leverage over the Met fan, 1149 00:56:11,720 --> 00:56:13,360 you've got to be willing to lose. 1150 00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:17,680 And I am I, I, I am so. But it doesn't seem like the 1151 00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,560 majority of Met fans are. Either way, it's going to be fun 1152 00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,040 this weekend. I'm excited. 1153 00:56:22,240 --> 00:56:24,960 Yankees look awful. Met showing a little pulse 1154 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,240 Schlittler tonight against Holmes and I'm looking forward 1155 00:56:28,240 --> 00:56:29,720 to it. I want to get into The Jets and 1156 00:56:29,720 --> 00:56:32,160 the Giants schedule a little hoops over the weekend as well. 1157 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,320 More favorable match up for the Knicks. 1158 00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:35,920 Cavs are pissed. I'm going back and forth on 1159 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:36,800 this. I really am. 1160 00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,080 Let me see and oh, that's right, no rules Friday. 1161 00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,720 What's my favorite 80s comedy flick? 1162 00:56:42,720 --> 00:56:45,440 Wow.

I don't think it was 81 or I 1202 00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,800 felt like that was late 70s. That was really like escape from 1203 00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:55,800 New York and though there was a lot of gritty the late 70s New 1204 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:59,240 York City movies that that I love, but that's not that's not, 1205 00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:01,800 you know, comedy genre to answer his questions. 1206 00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:05,560 Anyway, it is a no rules Friday.

So Dave's going to join me on 1230 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:04,080 Monday. All right? 1231 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,160 Can you get the jet schedule up there for me? 1232 01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:11,480 17 and O baby, look at those wins, all right? 1233 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,960 Now, I mean, obviously you guys have pretty much digested this 1234 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:20,720 if you're a Jets fan by now, but you know, I mean, Jake was 1235 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:23,040 saying last night and he was saying on the show, Jake Aspen, 1236 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,120 part of The Jets collected myself and and Rich Simini do it 1237 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,440 once a week. We did it last night as soon as 1238 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,240 the schedule dropped, even though we had a lot of the 1239 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:32,960 schedule with the leaks, we'll do it twice a week during the 1240 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,640 season. Go check it out. 1241 01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:35,840 It's on YouTube. It's awesome. 1242 01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,360 It's just a really fun good show and it's growing. 1243 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,040 It's going to be the number one jet show out there. 1244 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:42,840 That is that's my mission. That's our mission. 1245 01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,960 So Jake was saying it's a must win. 1246 01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:49,480 I mean, I, I thought I was the one with those, you know, those 1247 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:53,560 bot drop, you know, drop dead bottom line, you know, non 1248 01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:56,360 negotiable declarations. I mean, Jake is doing it as 1249 01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:57,800 well. It's not a must win. 1250 01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,200 I mean, you like to win it. Now I understand why he's saying 1251 01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,360 that because, and Robert Sala would I, I mean, I really 1252 01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,280 couldn't care less about that. I, I know what the NFL tries to 1253 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,960 do, former coaches, this quarterback's playing his old 1254 01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:12,040 team. But whatever. 1255 01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,320 I mean, Robert Sala stunk as a coach for the New York Jets. 1256 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,520 And really, if you asked me to play any team to start the year, 1257 01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,880 based on the teams I knew The Jets would be playing, I'd have 1258 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:24,560 to say Tennessee. I mean, I wouldn't mind being at 1259 01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,640 MetLife, although I am going to run another Jets trip in 1260 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,240 Tennessee, so that's going to be a blast. 1261 01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,680 Awesome city. I'll give you guys details as we 1262 01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,520 get a little bit closer here. I mean, Tennessee stinks, dude. 1263 01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:38,120 They're terrible. And I don't think Roberts Hollow 1264 01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:39,960 is a good coat. Now the problem is The Jets 1265 01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,280 stink until further notice. The Jets are terrible and Aaron 1266 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,080 Glenn stinks as well. So it's probably like a battle 1267 01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,800 of like light, light, light, light, light weights here. 1268 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:52,880 But you do have a chance to bag your first win now, and they're 1269 01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,600 1 1/2 point dogs already. How about that? 1270 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,040 Jets aren't even favored in Tennessee. 1271 01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,280 My goodness. Not a single primetime game. 1272 01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:01,360 I don't care about that. See, to me, as The Jets are 1273 01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:03,000 trying to build this culture, I'm not going to. 1274 01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:04,160 Literally. Well, maybe I'll run through 1275 01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,400 every game real fast. I'll do the same for the G men. 1276 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,880 Real fast, right? But bigger picture, keep that up 1277 01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:13,600 JV, like for the first, it's only 5 teams with no primetime 1278 01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:14,960 games. Remember they changed the rule 1279 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:17,160 where everybody had to have at least a Thursday game, whatever 1280 01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:18,120 it might be. I don't care. 1281 01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,320 Like basically every games at 1:00. 1282 01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,440 Don't give me Nance and Romo, you know, no disrespect, but 1283 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:27,280 give me like the D or the the 4th or the 5th string broadcast 1284 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,240 team. Let The Jets figure things out 1285 01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,640 in relative anonymity. I don't need the entire country 1286 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:37,000 popping in. Let's watch the circus Jets. 1287 01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:40,360 Let's get a butt fumble. You know, let's see Ghost with 1288 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:44,240 like against the Pats years ago, like just let them build a 1289 01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:49,160 culture and go about their work with very few people except Jet 1290 01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:52,800 fans watching. So The thing is like, and I do 1291 01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:54,240 think The Jets will be better this year. 1292 01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,240 You know, it's a tough start here. 1293 01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,640 Like let's say they beat the Titans 5050 and then there's 1294 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:02,280 some good fun energy with the Packers. 1295 01:03:02,320 --> 01:03:05,000 All right, home opener. What will I mean Packers are 1296 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:09,040 good, but whatever if they lose that Tennessee game, I mean it 1297 01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:12,440 it really just sets a tone for at Detroit. 1298 01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:15,760 I know anything can happen, but they're probably not winning 1299 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:19,160 that game at the bears, probably not winning that game. 1300 01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,720 Patriots probably not winning that game. 1301 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,640 See, I really wish like, why could it be at Titans home to 1302 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:29,400 the Dolphins, home to the Raiders to start and then maybe 1303 01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,960 take the Vikings who are week 17 and throw them somewhere in the 1304 01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:35,200 in the first two months of the season, right? 1305 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,320 And then the Cardinals as well. Like this is a tough start. 1306 01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,320 It really is. But one thing I've learned about 1307 01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,560 these schedules, what you think is going to happen very rarely 1308 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,480 does happen. So I'm not going to go nuts. 1309 01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,440 And, you know, it's just a basic observation. 1310 01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,160 I don't care that they're not on prime time. 1311 01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,200 I like that they're at 1:00, although, you know, to watch The 1312 01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,480 Jets and the Giants will be problematic because the G men 1313 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,000 have a lot of 1:00 games as well. 1314 01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:01,800 And, you know, I think if you win 10, the Tennessee game, that 1315 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:05,200 sets you up to, you know, at least have a meaningful start to 1316 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,960 the season. And even if you're 1 and 4, you 1317 01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:10,200 know, it's not inconceivable that you can RIP off 1318 01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,360 back-to-back wins in Week 7 and Week 8. 1319 01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:15,520 You know, whether it's Kirk Cousins or Mendoza, you know, 1320 01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:18,400 Dolphins have stripped down entirely new coaches and all 1321 01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:20,880 that stuff. Obviously Chiefs, Bill's tough, 1322 01:04:20,880 --> 01:04:23,960 Chargers tough. But then the Dolphins again, the 1323 01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,880 week 13 by is as late as it's ever been for The Jets. 1324 01:04:27,200 --> 01:04:30,120 I think that that's it's a real disadvantage if you stink. 1325 01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,400 I think it's a real good advantage if you're really good. 1326 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,920 So it's probably going to be a disadvantage because if you're a 1327 01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,920 good team, even though it's really late, there would be real 1328 01:04:39,920 --> 01:04:43,520 value for getting a chance that late in the season to kind of 1329 01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:47,680 all right, let's really ice up. Let's really collect ourselves 1330 01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:51,880 here for a long run, you know, but you know, is what it is. 1331 01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,520 I'm not going to cry too much about that. 1332 01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:56,640 And then listen, if The Jets say if they do beat the Titans and 1333 01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,280 they beat the Dolphins and they beat the Raiders and they steal 1334 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,400 one game against one of these teams that nobody thinks they're 1335 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,000 going to beat, well, then all of a sudden you're like, all right, 1336 01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,120 at Arizona, I got a chance there. 1337 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:08,960 That Vikings game. Vikings aren't going to be that 1338 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,280 good, I don't think. But yeah, you want to win total 1339 01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:13,360 here. I don't know. 1340 01:05:13,360 --> 01:05:15,680 Can The Jets go? I remember before I saw the 1341 01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,880 schedule, I'm like, I think they can win 7 or 8. 1342 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:22,000 I would not bet on 8 Now that seems ridiculous. 7 seems a 1343 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,560 little high as well. You want to tell me The Jets are 1344 01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:26,520 6:00 and 11:00? You want to tell me The Jets are 1345 01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,960 7 and 10 in that neighborhood? Anything less than that, Glenn 1346 01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,680 is gone. So that's my take on The Jets on 1347 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:34,520 The Jets schedule. Let's get the Giants up there, 1348 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:40,400 the G men, the G men. All right, now the Giants out of 1349 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,280 the shoot here. And obviously that's what 1350 01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,240 happens when you have a coach that's got some respect. 1351 01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:46,600 You know, you're going to have the the primetime game, the 1352 01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:49,080 primetime game, then you get a little, a little bit of a hanger 1353 01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,480 there with Tennessee day ball, obviously on the staff. 1354 01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,920 I mean, to me, just contrasting it to The Jets, the Giants have 1355 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,840 a very favorable schedule here. I think Mirage put this tweet 1356 01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:04,840 out, Sean, where the when when they some of the games or I 1357 01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:08,520 think 3 of the games that they play this year, the team that 1358 01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:12,080 they're playing is is in London before that, which, you know, 1359 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,360 logistically is a disadvantage for their opponent and a little 1360 01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:16,920 bit of an advantage for the Giants. 1361 01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:19,600 You would think. I mean, listen, you can't can 1362 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:20,880 you beat the commander? Sure. 1363 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:22,480 I mean, should you beat Tennessee? 1364 01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,560 Yeah, I mean, should you beat the Cardinals? 1365 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:26,400 Why not? I mean, the Saints aren't going 1366 01:06:26,400 --> 01:06:28,400 to be that good to get a chance for a little revenge there. 1367 01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:31,400 Texans will be tough. But you know, I, I think that 1368 01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:37,960 the Giants to me or, or a team where I, I, even if it's a false 1369 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:43,200 belief, I think that going into October, like Halloween, the 1370 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:45,920 Giants will be right in the middle of things here. 1371 01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,280 You know, 500 maybe a game above. 1372 01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,680 And I'll tell you what, if they beat Dallas week 1, I think it's 1373 01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,200 unrealistic to think you're going to beat the Rams 1374 01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,000 necessarily. But if they beat Dallas, the 1375 01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,640 Giants will be over 500 going into October. 1376 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,960 They're going to win those two games with the Titans and the 1377 01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:03,120 Cardinals. They're they're going to win. 1378 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:06,840 And then if you get that, and I know we're really connecting a 1379 01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:08,120 lot of dots and who the hell knows? 1380 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:12,040 But now all of a sudden, all right, commanders, Saints, like 1381 01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:18,560 it's not inconceivable that the giants are, you know, four and 1382 01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:23,160 four and five and two. You know it's not and they've 1383 01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,520 got a well placed by. So that is the giants schedule 1384 01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:29,800 right there. J Rod, have you have you? 1385 01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:31,440 I'm going to say you have not done this yet. 1386 01:07:31,440 --> 01:07:33,960 But if you looked at the patriots schedule yet, No, I've 1387 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,320 not I've not checked it yet. How do you not look at the 1388 01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:37,000 schedule? Come out. 1389 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,800 It's your team, dude. I'm locked in on The Jets now, 1390 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,560 bruh. All right. 1391 01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:44,440 Yeah. We're going to run a couple of 1392 01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:45,880 the trips here. You don't even know anything 1393 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:47,920 about this. I mean, I saw, I saw the 1394 01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:49,640 Instagram post. It looked nice. 1395 01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,480 I looked. It looked like a nice resort. 1396 01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:53,320 Oh, no, no, that's different. That is something. 1397 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,440 Yeah. By the way, do you have that up? 1398 01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:56,960 Can we? I don't think I sent you that. 1399 01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,880 I don't have. I don't have an unleashed 1400 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:00,160 graphic. It's OK. 1401 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:02,680 We'll get that up on Monday. So what you're talking about 1402 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:07,840 July 11th at in Atlantic City is a massive jet content. 1403 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,920 Basically it's like Comic Con for jet fans, I guess, or you 1404 01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:15,120 know, one of those with the superheroes and and and Star 1405 01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:18,439 Wars stuff and the Star Trek and all those other cons, right. 1406 01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:21,200 It's going to be off the hook. It's just a it's a big pool 1407 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:22,960 party. It's going to be sick and we'll 1408 01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:24,359 be out there at The Jets collective. 1409 01:08:24,359 --> 01:08:28,359 So me, Rich and Jake and I know Connor Hughes will be out there. 1410 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,600 Basically everybody who covers The Jets. 1411 01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:32,960 It's going to be really good. No, I'm not talking about that. 1412 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:36,439 What I've done and we, we didn't do it last year, just to be 1413 01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:39,600 totally honest with everybody there, there was just no demand. 1414 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:42,840 I mean, Rogers was gone and you know, I'm not going to run a 1415 01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:47,080 trip to lose money, but we've done a lot of trips already. 1416 01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:50,200 My, my guy Mike Martucci, who runs the Giants, the Big Blue 1417 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,359 travel great with that. I know he was hanging out with 1418 01:08:52,359 --> 01:08:55,560 Joe Shane last night and Cashman and Booney. 1419 01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,680 They had dinner over at the rails over there in the in the 1420 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,399 up in the Bronx. So anyway, Martucci does that 1421 01:09:02,240 --> 01:09:08,359 and we did it a couple of years ago and we went to Lambeau and 1422 01:09:08,359 --> 01:09:11,840 we sold it out and it was phenomenal, right? 1423 01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:14,840 And then and Jets won that game. Jets were off to a good start. 1424 01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,040 It was, it really was just Lambo's amazing. 1425 01:09:17,359 --> 01:09:20,680 And then the next year we went to Dallas, which was an amazing 1426 01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:24,520 trip. We went to Las Vegas, which the 1427 01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:27,880 Raiders, which they lost the game on Sunday night. 1428 01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,319 Yeah. And what we do is like, it's not 1429 01:09:30,319 --> 01:09:31,760 like we just get tickets to the game. 1430 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,240 It's an entire weekend built around where. 1431 01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,399 So the games on Sunday, we host a big dinner. 1432 01:09:37,399 --> 01:09:39,680 And then we went to Tennessee a couple of years ago, Week 1, 1433 01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:41,359 where? And we went somewhere else. 1434 01:09:41,359 --> 01:09:44,800 Oh, we went to the Hall of Fame game in Cleveland when Revis and 1435 01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,439 Kleco got enshrined. We've done 5 or 6 of these 1436 01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:50,200 trips. And because he's so hooked up 1437 01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,520 with, with all the giant stuff and he, he knows everybody #1 1438 01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:57,440 the seats are great and his venue selection is off the 1439 01:09:57,440 --> 01:10:00,520 charts phenomenal. We were at a rooftop in 1440 01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:02,760 Tennessee. We were at a rooftop restaurant 1441 01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,920 we're overlooking, you know, the main strip in Tennessee. 1442 01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,000 And it was just it, it was, it was phenomenal. 1443 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:12,480 And I hosted dinner on Saturday night before the game. 1444 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,720 And I'll, and then I'll always get a Jet alum, whether it's, 1445 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:19,160 you know, Marty Lyons or Wesley Walker, some of these get they 1446 01:10:19,160 --> 01:10:21,800 will roll into the tailgate and hang out with us. 1447 01:10:22,440 --> 01:10:24,400 And when I tell you, Jay, no bullshit. 1448 01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,120 If you guys have you been to any of these trips, by all means 1449 01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,320 jumping on the chats there because they are, they are five 1450 01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,280 star. I mean, Jets might not be 5 1451 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,920 star, but these trips are, if you've been on the, we're not 1452 01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:35,520 just giving you a hot dog and a hamburger. 1453 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:41,640 I mean, it is a tented catered, whether it's lobster and shrimp. 1454 01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:44,320 I mean, usually the delicacies will reflect where we are. 1455 01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:46,800 So a lot of barbecue in Tennessee, stuff like that. 1456 01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:50,600 So this year we're going to go to Tennessee, we're going to go 1457 01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:54,760 to Arrowhead and we're going to try to go to Chicago. 1458 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,960 We want to go to historic venues to watch the Bears. 1459 01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,360 Yeah. And what we were doing, we were 1460 01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,720 trying to do a wrap around. Unfortunately it didn't work out 1461 01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,640 where if Notre Dame was home that weekend, we were going to 1462 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,280 do Notre Dame and then Jets Bears on Sunday. 1463 01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:13,280 Yeah, it's so much fun. It really is. 1464 01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,000 And then you'll get like a tour of the city with like a double 1465 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,160 Decker bus. And the other thing that that 1466 01:11:18,160 --> 01:11:21,800 touché gets and I and I've got if you go on my Instagram page, 1467 01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:24,280 then you're gonna have to Scroll down far 'cause it wasn't last 1468 01:11:24,280 --> 01:11:26,440 year was the year before, but you'll find it. 1469 01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:31,040 We get, I get you guys, we get you access where you come on the 1470 01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:34,400 field, you get a stadium tour. So we got a tour of Lambeau. 1471 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,840 And then when we when we did Dallas, I actually had a 1472 01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:41,560 football and we were throwing the ball around on the field. 1473 01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,080 Awesome, man. And you're coming this year. 1474 01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:46,880 Let's go. Some of these trips, dude. 1475 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,320 Let's go.

We will and we'll take care of 1479 01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:56,120 that. It's going to be on the arm. 1480 01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:58,840 It's not going to cost you dime, not a dime. 1481 01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:02,560 There we go. Nice hotels, nice hotels, the 1482 01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:04,760 transportation pick you up at the airport. 1483 01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:09,240 No take you, you know, to the airport transfers, really nice 1484 01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,320 buses. It's just phenomenal, dude. 1485 01:12:11,480 --> 01:12:12,440 Well run. That's great. 1486 01:12:12,440 --> 01:12:15,080 I'm I'm I'm so excited. Yep, it's coming up. 1487 01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:20,280 Let me see, girl, what else do we got? 1488 01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:24,800 We were wrong the other night. We both had the Pistons get in 1489 01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,800 that game. Yeah, that was that was tough. 1490 01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,520 I mean, you know, in my heart of hearts, maybe I want to say I 1491 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,320 had the Cavs deep down, but no, I didn't. 1492 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,480 I mean, I took the Pistons. I thought they would have gotten 1493 01:12:36,480 --> 01:12:41,560 it done at home. And now it it is really, it's 1494 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:46,120 really shaping up to look like the the Cavs might be playing 1495 01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:49,080 the Knicks here. And I think that bodes very well 1496 01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,720 for the New York Knicks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1497 01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:54,840 I mean, just keep going here. And what's the spread? 1498 01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:58,280 The spread Cavaliers are are laying 3 1/2 tonight. 1499 01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:00,080 I was a little surprised they were favored by that much. 1500 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:01,600 They are. They're, I mean, I'm not 1501 01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,080 surprised they're favored maybe even 4 1/2. 1502 01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:07,800 I mean, the Pistons, you know, and, and, and one of the chats I 1503 01:13:07,800 --> 01:13:11,480 asked earlier, I never really answered it like, hey, what's 1504 01:13:11,480 --> 01:13:13,880 the better match up? Well, number one, I wanted to 1505 01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:15,720 get to 7. That's for obvious reasons, 1506 01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:18,400 right? Cavaliers, Knicks obviously are 1507 01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,080 hosting. You get homecourt advantage. 1508 01:13:20,080 --> 01:13:21,600 That would be great. Game one or two with the guard. 1509 01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,640 It'd be phenomenal. If it's the Pistons, it's the 1510 01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:25,960 other way around. Whatever, even though they 1511 01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:27,800 wanted Detroit last year. So I'm not too worried about 1512 01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,840 that. But I mean, the Pistons really 1513 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:37,280 are a one man show and and we know that and you know, outside 1514 01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:38,560 of Kate Cunningham, you don't really. 1515 01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:41,000 And Tobias Harris's I've got and I've got respect for their 1516 01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:42,200 players. I'm not taking anything for 1517 01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:45,800 granted, but as much as I get on Harden, I mean, Harden could 1518 01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,960 still have a night where he pops in 30 something. 1519 01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,200 And and obviously, you know, we've seen Donovan Mitchell did 1520 01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,600 it on Christmas Day, not let alone the other night when he 1521 01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:57,520 dropped 43 in this series. You know, Mobley and some of 1522 01:13:57,520 --> 01:14:01,000 these got like, you know, like that's I don't know Mobley 1523 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,760 because he's he's a guy who I always thought, I mean, when he 1524 01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:06,600 was originally drafted. Now this is an UN. 1525 01:14:06,800 --> 01:14:10,840 This is an UN imaginable comparison, but I remember 1526 01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:14,880 hearing the Tim Duncan thing with him, you know, flashes of 1527 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,600 Tim Duncan in his game. And I just think, you know, I 1528 01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:21,160 was watching some stuff on Mobley last night like, and 1529 01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,800 granted, this doesn't matter in this playoff series, but he's 1530 01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:27,640 the kind of guy who hasn't gotten better like really much 1531 01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:30,560 over his entire career. He's very similar to he was as a 1532 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,960 rookie player. And I don't see him as a dynamic 1533 01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,360 scorer who's going to take over the Knicks. 1534 01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,000 Not that he's needed to be that at all. 1535 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:41,200 You got James Harden, Donovan Mitchell, I don't know, and 1536 01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:45,160 Jared Allen has always come up very soft in the playoffs. 1537 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:49,280 I know he's very weak for for an All Star caliber player, All 1538 01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:54,120 Star caliber center. I just think I and I think Cade 1539 01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:58,120 being the most dynamic player out of either of those teams 1540 01:14:58,440 --> 01:15:02,280 maybe for in my head makes the Pistons a little tougher of a 1541 01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,800 match up for the Knicks if it were to go down that way. 1542 01:15:05,440 --> 01:15:14,320 OK OK what is this here Woogie Dash Z9Z9Z since the Geo dust up 1543 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:18,800 Sal's been MIL Mia on on unleashed and you and you want 1544 01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:23,080 his BT and Sal live mysteriously disintegrated under guise of 1545 01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,680 logistics the day after. What's the story? 1546 01:15:27,800 --> 01:15:29,680 As a matter of fact, Sal just text me yesterday about playing 1547 01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:30,280 golf. No. 1548 01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:32,680 Yeah, I'd listen. I'll be totally honest with you 1549 01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:34,080 here. So trying to stir it up. 1550 01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,600 No, this is nothing to stir up. Whatever happened with me and 1551 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,400 Geo happened, then it's over in my book until it's not. 1552 01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:41,360 I mean, I'm not going to keep going back to that. 1553 01:15:41,360 --> 01:15:43,600 Well, I said what he said, what he said. 1554 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,120 I said what I said, and it's over. 1555 01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:48,160 Right. But with Sal, Right. 1556 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:49,560 So Sal didn't want to get involved in it. 1557 01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:53,160 And I understand this. He's friends with Greg and he's 1558 01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:58,200 friends with me and you know, he, he just so I remember we 1559 01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:00,760 were actually, because I was on his, he was on unleashed and 1560 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:04,480 then I was on his show. And I remember, I think the last 1561 01:16:04,480 --> 01:16:06,840 time I was, I was on a show was Ash Wednesday because I remember 1562 01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,680 I, I came home from church, I ran home and I had the ashes. 1563 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:12,160 I if you guys remember that. And we had a great time. 1564 01:16:13,440 --> 01:16:17,640 I remember after that stuff with with Geo went down, I texted him 1565 01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,160 and it wasn't like immediately, but it was like, hey, let's get 1566 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:21,720 you back up. So we were planning the next 1567 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:24,480 show and he's like, listen, I'm and he was honest and I 1568 01:16:24,480 --> 01:16:26,800 respected this. Now I made what I have done it 1569 01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,160 differently. I might have like, if it was him 1570 01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:33,280 and Greg or him and somebody, I would have put that, that shit, 1571 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,240 I would have put it aside. And if he asked me to come on, I 1572 01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:37,120 would have come on. But I'm not looking to put the 1573 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:39,360 guy in the bad spot. He loved he he he lived with 1574 01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:43,360 Greg like they lived together when they were at WFAN early in 1575 01:16:43,360 --> 01:16:46,080 their careers. So I get the dynamics, you know, 1576 01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:47,960 and he's like, I just don't want to get in the middle. 1577 01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:49,360 And I said, I get it. I said do your thing, man. 1578 01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:52,160 So and listen, the other thing too is he's busy doing his thing 1579 01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,160 and I'm busy doing my thing. I mean, I fall asleep to sports 1580 01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:57,080 night and I love it's great show. 1581 01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:59,720 I tell you that. I really I really like sports. 1582 01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:01,800 I like sports night better when Sal's not on it. 1583 01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,280 Not just kidding, I'm getting, but I like the show. 1584 01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:08,160 I love JJ and I know a lot of those guys I played golf with 1585 01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,760 with JJ. He was next to me when Francesa 1586 01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:14,440 almost killed me with the golf ball when we played with me and 1587 01:17:14,440 --> 01:17:16,400 JJ and Sal and and Mike last year. 1588 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,200 And I just think it's the kind of thing. 1589 01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:23,640 But listen, when, when this, when it went down at the fan and 1590 01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:26,280 I jumped into the show right away and I'm thrilled that I did 1591 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,440 that right. And I'm, I'm, I love the growth 1592 01:17:28,440 --> 01:17:31,000 and I love what we're doing. I love the calls and I love the 1593 01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:33,320 sponsorship and there's more stuff coming. 1594 01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:34,560 Really proud of what we're doing. 1595 01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,200 And it's because of you guys, you guys supporting me and we're 1596 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:39,560 building this thing out, the interviews, the guest, 1597 01:17:39,560 --> 01:17:41,320 everything loving where we're at right now. 1598 01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:45,040 I, I, I thought, I thought that I would probably have Sal on a 1599 01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,080 little bit more and, and I, and I, he did as well. 1600 01:17:47,440 --> 01:17:50,520 I can promise you if it didn't happen, what happened with, you 1601 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:53,640 know, with me and Gio, I, I do think we'd probably go on once 1602 01:17:53,640 --> 01:17:57,600 in a while, you know, but I think that the, and I, we still 1603 01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:00,640 will, by the way, But I think that the, the thought of a 1604 01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:05,160 collaboration, while it was enticing to each of us on some 1605 01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:08,640 level, like a, you know, BT and Sal, let's do something once a 1606 01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:12,160 week because the dynamics too good and the chemistry is too 1607 01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:15,280 strong and the energy is too palpable. 1608 01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:19,520 And the demand, by the way, was, was too strong not to do it. 1609 01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:24,200 But then it sounds good and it, and, and it was good like as a 1610 01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:26,360 concept. But then when you actually get 1611 01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:30,560 into the, the logistics of doing a show, like I'm, I'm literally 1612 01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,400 working more now than I worked when I was actually doing the 1613 01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,520 show with the fan. I mean, because everything is 1614 01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:39,280 literally my wife is selling and I'm doing the content and J Rod 1615 01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:41,880 is producing. And you know when I would end 1616 01:18:41,880 --> 01:18:45,840 the show at WFAN, get off the air at 2:00, you know, I'm out 1617 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,680 the door. 2O2, I'm in my car. Yeah, of course I'm watching the 1618 01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:50,960 games and getting ready for the show. 1619 01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:55,800 But I'm not like doing like I am in my office basically all day. 1620 01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:57,440 And I love it. Like it's a grind. 1621 01:18:57,440 --> 01:19:01,360 It's rolling up the sleeves. And it's, it's a, you know, it's 1622 01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:07,160 it's a grit that is new and I welcome with open arms and it 1623 01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:09,120 has galvanized me. And there's no doubt in my mind 1624 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:12,240 I've made the right decision. But I, you know, he just didn't 1625 01:19:12,240 --> 01:19:14,280 want, he didn't want to get in the middle of it. 1626 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:16,880 And I respected and I wasn't going to pull him in the middle 1627 01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:18,360 of it. Like I was going to bring him on 1628 01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:21,040 under the pretense of, hey, let's just talk Yankees and Mets 1629 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,280 and then be like, dude, you hear what Gio said like that? 1630 01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,840 That's not my style. I'm not trying to complicate his 1631 01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:26,800 life. I like Sal. 1632 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:30,480 I've always liked Sal, you know, and I think he likes me. 1633 01:19:30,480 --> 01:19:32,840 I mean, of course, we're very strong personalities. 1634 01:19:32,840 --> 01:19:37,080 So to think that that there wasn't a flare up or two over 1635 01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,320 the two years we worked together is unrealistic. 1636 01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:43,720 But I, I, I think he and I both know and have both said many 1637 01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:46,680 times in, in all the interviews after we wrapped up at the fan 1638 01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:50,160 that once we figured our shit out and once we got past, you 1639 01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,680 know, that never any big problems, but just understood 1640 01:19:53,680 --> 01:19:57,080 each other and trust each other and how to work with each other. 1641 01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:01,840 Well, you know, it's, that was the show that was awesome. 1642 01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,080 Like that was the show that really was, was great, you know, 1643 01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:06,440 and that's what we're really proud of there. 1644 01:20:06,440 --> 01:20:09,440 So no, he just texted me yesterday about playing golf 1645 01:20:09,440 --> 01:20:12,600 because when we were on the Fan, I forget the gentleman's name, 1646 01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,640 he he invited me and Sal to go play at some beautiful Country 1647 01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:20,040 Club in New Jersey. And he texted me literally 1648 01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:22,200 yesterday, hey, I forget the guy's name. 1649 01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,560 So and so from so and so Country Club reached out. 1650 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,800 Do you still want to play? I'm like, yeah, of course I want 1651 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:28,160 to play. And I'll go out there and shoot 1652 01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,760 104. I'll leave divots everywhere. 1653 01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:33,680 And you know, but you bring the surf sides and I'll bring, I'll 1654 01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,320 bring my bag of clubs. And yeah, of course we'll play, 1655 01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:37,440 man. No. 1656 01:20:37,440 --> 01:20:40,080 And the thing to be totally honest with, with the Carl Bank 1657 01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:43,120 stuff, it didn't sell out. I was surprised at that. 1658 01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,240 I really thought Long Island was going to sell out. 1659 01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:48,320 I was disappointed in that. But there was so much going on 1660 01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:50,320 and we kind of threw it in there last minute. 1661 01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,400 You know, Long Island is is more jets country. 1662 01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:58,800 So maybe it wasn't as, as I look back and it was my idea to reach 1663 01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:02,080 out to Carl and, and get them on, you know, and then we were 1664 01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:03,800 able to do it. He he said, yeah, which is 1665 01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:05,600 great. I mean, rock solid move by Carl, 1666 01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:08,320 who's a stand up dude, despite what happened on our show. 1667 01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:10,600 Love Sal, love Sal, love, love Carl. 1668 01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,120 But it just didn't sell out. And we, you know, we're not in 1669 01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,560 the business of losing money. We, we obviously sold tickets, 1670 01:21:15,560 --> 01:21:18,840 but it was a bigger venue. And we're like, does it really 1671 01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:20,520 logistically, does it make sense? 1672 01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:23,480 That's the only reason the plug was pulled on that. 1673 01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:26,560 Like, I want to be totally, totally sincere with that. 1674 01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:29,240 You know, I can lie and say, Oh yeah, it was sold out and 1675 01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:31,400 everybody wanted to come watch, but me and Sal didn't want to do 1676 01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:33,120 the show. Like that would almost, almost 1677 01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:34,760 probably make us look better like that. 1678 01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:35,760 We just didn't want to do the show. 1679 01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,840 But it sold out, didn't sell out, you know, like the Booney 1680 01:21:38,840 --> 01:21:40,960 Show sold out and BT and Sal would Boone. 1681 01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:43,520 So it's all good, man. I mean, there's, there's really 1682 01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,640 nothing else to dig or to dive into. 1683 01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:49,200 And you know, he's also, he's also working 2 jobs. 1684 01:21:49,200 --> 01:21:53,600 So when he's going to S&Y every day, I'm going to the field 1685 01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:56,840 every night to either coach my daughter, watch my daughter, 1686 01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:00,480 coach my son, or watch my son. And it's, it's the most 1687 01:22:00,480 --> 01:22:03,800 beautiful part of my life. So every night, every night. 1688 01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:05,320 He's also playing basketball now too. 1689 01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:09,200 In the spring, every night is busy and every day is consumed 1690 01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,680 with getting this show to be an absolute monster. 1691 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:14,800 And I know that Sal's doing the same thing on his end. 1692 01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,360 So that's it. I cannot be more transparent 1693 01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:19,440 than that. So Jay, have you been wondering 1694 01:22:19,440 --> 01:22:22,720 about that as well? No, I mean, I, I kind of figured 1695 01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,680 it was exactly what you said. You know, I, I, I respect you 1696 01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:29,320 for, for being a literally 100% honest. 1697 01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:32,120 That's the answer. Caps off caps that. 1698 01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:34,080 I mean, because that's what I mean, there wasn't, you know, I 1699 01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:37,000 haven't been wondering much because that's just kind of I, I 1700 01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:39,960 didn't know about Sal's relationship with, with Greg, 1701 01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:43,280 but they kind of what I figured was just like, listen, he's got 1702 01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,600 his own things he's doing, you're doing your own thing. 1703 01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,800 Listen, there's not always a a time overlap, but it's also like 1704 01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:52,600 building out each of your own individual things rather than 1705 01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:57,080 trying to, you know, rely on, you know, an an old dynamic sort 1706 01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:58,080 of deal. Yeah, yeah. 1707 01:22:58,360 --> 01:22:59,440 Well, listen, don't get me wrong. 1708 01:22:59,440 --> 01:23:02,320 I I see some of his clips. I'm like, you know, let's get 1709 01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:05,120 him on, you know, yeah, dude, absolutely. 1710 01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:07,600 I'm sure he's doing his. Oh, dude, if we were in the same 1711 01:23:07,600 --> 01:23:09,120 studio together, I'd be all over him. 1712 01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:11,240 I'm saying the same thing. I'm not saying it's not going to 1713 01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:13,040 happen ever again. I'm definitely not saying that. 1714 01:23:13,040 --> 01:23:16,160 More than welcome to go more than open to go on his and and 1715 01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:18,640 the invite at some point will be back to come on mine, no doubt 1716 01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:20,520 about it. We're going to play golf, play 1717 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:22,800 golf together. He just didn't want to get in 1718 01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:25,240 the middle of it and out of respect to his relationship with 1719 01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:28,000 him and and our guys, OK, ain't going to push it. 1720 01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,040 I'm not I'm not going to beg. I'm not going to push it so 1721 01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:33,800 good, so good. Speaking of, of, of the fan real 1722 01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:37,840 quick, I did reach out to Evan to come on the show. 1723 01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:41,240 I did. And you know, obviously the tiki 1724 01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:43,640 thing, Tiki's, that's a layup. That's it's just a matter of 1725 01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:45,880 what I mean, obviously Tiki's going to come out and take care 1726 01:23:45,880 --> 01:23:47,720 of it, right? And we'll, we'll, I want to do 1727 01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:50,000 tiki at night where he can pour Scotch because we're both Scotch 1728 01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:52,360 guys. He can pour Scotch, I can pour 1729 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,200 Scotch. And we could just shoot the shit 1730 01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,000 for an hour and a half and really do one of those deep 1731 01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:59,560 dives about all the stuff that me and tik went through as 1732 01:23:59,560 --> 01:24:05,720 partners for over a decade now. Evan, if you remember, Evan is 1733 01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:09,360 the one who started this issue. Of course, of course he was the 1734 01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:10,480 one. I was getting ready to hang up 1735 01:24:10,480 --> 01:24:12,720 the phone. I'm sitting in my hotel in San 1736 01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:16,120 Diego and it was, you know, get ready to do the the Johnnies in 1737 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,320 the NCAA tournament. And he's got to ask me the 1738 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,800 question about about Gio. And I just answered it honestly 1739 01:24:21,200 --> 01:24:24,840 and so and but I've I've got a good relationship with Evan. 1740 01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,720 I've always liked him right, And I texted him the other day and 1741 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:30,320 I'm like, hey, I'm like any interest in coming on unleashed. 1742 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:32,760 I'd love to have me on. He's like absolutely. 1743 01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:36,800 He's like, but but he did say I just got to make sure it's OK 1744 01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:39,040 after the last his word was kerfuffle. 1745 01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,440 I can't stand that word. It's such AI don't know. 1746 01:24:41,440 --> 01:24:44,520 I just don't like that. It's like the word silly. 1747 01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:48,000 Like I think that hits me weird. Yeah. 1748 01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:49,800 Like I yeah. Oh, big time. 1749 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:52,040 Like it hits you even. It's a soft word. 1750 01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:53,480 Soft word. Kerfuffle. 1751 01:24:53,480 --> 01:24:56,640 Who the hell says kerfuffle? I mean, if I would have said 1752 01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:58,840 kerfuffle when I was growing up, somebody would have popped me in 1753 01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,280 the face of like a. It's like a fight that occurs in 1754 01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,680 Candy Land. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1755 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:06,040 But he did write that back. He's like, I love you, man. 1756 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:07,680 He's like, I would absolutely like, he's like, I just want to 1757 01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:11,360 make sure it's cool. So if it's cool and after the 1758 01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:13,360 little kerfuffle, we'll get Evan on. 1759 01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:15,600 So I like his clips a lot. Like he's he's good. 1760 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:19,000 He's the dude who who I like usually find the funniest. 1761 01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:21,520 You find that I don't you find Evan the funniest dude. 1762 01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:23,280 I don't know something about his clips. 1763 01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:25,320 Just like I always see. I go like that was pretty funny. 1764 01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:29,000 Like like maybe it's the way he goes off like something about 1765 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,160 like the Nets stuff the other day, just thinking absolutely 1766 01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:33,440 the Nets. No, exactly. 1767 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,200 That was what was kind of funny was they put up a clip. 1768 01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,360 It's like it's like Brooklyn Nets. 1769 01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:41,440 It's got like 10 likes on it. I'm just like, oh, OK, but I 1770 01:25:41,440 --> 01:25:44,400 could probably do this. Like if it does work out and and 1771 01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:47,720 Evan does come on and he and he even brings up the Nets, he's 1772 01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:50,400 off like show's over. At least this point of the show. 1773 01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:53,760 Waste of time. I've got a no rules Friday 1774 01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:56,080 question. My dad always pushes this to me. 1775 01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:57,920 He'll love that. I'm asking you this right now. 1776 01:25:57,920 --> 01:26:00,920 Yeah, go ahead. Do you watch WNBA at all? 1777 01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:04,880 Slash have any? OK, OK, because he's always 1778 01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,760 like, yo, J, you got to talk WNBA, man. 1779 01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:11,520 You'll get 20,000 Subs in a day. I'm like, I fuck the bank. 1780 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:14,760 I'm not here disrespected. I mean, they're phenomenal, but 1781 01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:16,640 no, I'm, I'm not watching the WNBA. 1782 01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:19,560 I'll tell you what I tell you, I I did watch Caitlin Clark couple 1783 01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:21,440 times when she was in Iowa for sure. 1784 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:25,040 You know, like and and and Reese, obviously. 1785 01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:26,080 I mean, I know some of the players. 1786 01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:30,480 My favorite part honestly, of the WNBA is Sophie Cunningham's 1787 01:26:30,480 --> 01:26:32,000 Instagram. That's the let's let's be 1788 01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:34,680 honest, that is by far the best content. 1789 01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:38,360 Anything that the WNT is gorgeous, dude, I'm a fan. 1790 01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:40,800 They listen, they are amazing players. 1791 01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:45,520 I just don't have the, the like the bandwidth, the interest or 1792 01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:47,760 the time. I mean, that's fair. 1793 01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,360 You're locked into so many things. 1794 01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:52,640 It's like, and it's, it's the and The thing is, I don't think 1795 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,120 it's a discredit to the league itself because like, dude, I 1796 01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:56,960 went to a Liberty last game last year. 1797 01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:00,160 It was packed. It was much more dynamic than 1798 01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,640 any Brooklyn Nets game I ever went to. 1799 01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:04,840 I believe that it was so much fun. 1800 01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:09,120 I just think it's hard when you grow up loving certain teams. 1801 01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,920 It's hard to add on another thing that you're now supposed 1802 01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,960 to be locked in on when you've spent your entire life kind of 1803 01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:19,120 not not following that. It's tough to add another sport 1804 01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:20,400 to that repertoire. Yeah. 1805 01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:22,360 Just wondering. I had to, I had to put that out 1806 01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:23,640 there. Listen. 1807 01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:25,240 And and they deserve. I know that, you know, they've 1808 01:27:25,440 --> 01:27:27,360 been battling for the for their CBA. 1809 01:27:27,800 --> 01:27:29,960 I mean, they deserve much more money now. 1810 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:31,720 It is it is all supply and demand. 1811 01:27:31,720 --> 01:27:33,760 I mean, they want to get paid like NBA players, which is 1812 01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:35,360 ridiculous. Well, then you got it. 1813 01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:38,320 You got to you could have that thought and you can hire to 1814 01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,600 that, but you've got to pump out the money the way the NBA does. 1815 01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,480 But it's grown tremendously. Yeah. 1816 01:27:43,480 --> 01:27:45,600 The minimum track now is so much better. 1817 01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:47,120 I know it is. I know for sure. 1818 01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:49,360 And they were getting hoes for a lot of years and and the the 1819 01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:51,600 style of play, like they're just incredibly talented. 1820 01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,640 It just, I just don't, I'm not going to watch it. 1821 01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:56,320 Like I just, I, I don't have any interest in watching it. 1822 01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:58,680 I really don't. And it's not, if any really, 1823 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:02,040 hopefully nobody construes that as a sexist statement or I've 1824 01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:03,920 got no interest in watching the women play. 1825 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:07,600 I just have no time. And if like I've got to be 1826 01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:09,920 emotionally connected to something to care. 1827 01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:14,400 And that is why I really do. That is why I just can't get 1828 01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,720 into hockey. Doesn't mean I don't appreciate 1829 01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:18,240 it. Doesn't mean I don't respect it. 1830 01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:19,520 And I grew up playing in the street. 1831 01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:21,360 I was terrible. God, I was an awful street 1832 01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:23,520 hockey player. I mean, I was terrible, but I, 1833 01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:25,600 there was a point where I liked hockey a little bit. 1834 01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:27,880 You know what? I had the, the Islanders jersey 1835 01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:29,880 and we would, you know, we get into fights in the street. 1836 01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:32,200 Me and my buddy Tommy. Yeah, we would, we would drop 1837 01:28:32,200 --> 01:28:34,760 the gloves and he'd usually wait because he was a year older, a 1838 01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:37,400 little bit bigger. But no, we, we would play all 1839 01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:40,200 the time with the garbage pails and the roll, the black tape and 1840 01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:43,280 we had the cohost sticks. And I just wasn't a good skater 1841 01:28:43,800 --> 01:28:48,200 so but even now, so it's not like anti WNBA, it's anti 1842 01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:52,040 anything that I don't connect to intensely and intimately. 1843 01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:55,000 And that doesn't mean that I can't appreciate the speed and 1844 01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:59,120 the dexterity, which is amazing of the NHL and just what these 1845 01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:02,520 guys do and how they sacrifice their bodies, you know, dive 1846 01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:05,960 into the ice and blocking shots that are coming 95 plus miles an 1847 01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:09,760 hour with a hard cold piece of rubber like you are. 1848 01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,720 They are nuts, man. And, and they are low 1849 01:29:12,720 --> 01:29:16,560 maintenance athletes, which I, which I like the team concept, 1850 01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:19,320 you know what I mean? Like the, the team concept in 1851 01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:22,040 hockey is as strong as as any other sport out there. 1852 01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:24,640 So, so many great things to say about the sport. 1853 01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:26,120 It's just, it's just not my sport. 1854 01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:30,120 And while I love basketball, the WNBA is just not my thing. 1855 01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:32,240 But I mean, we're not talking Euro League. 1856 01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:34,720 No, I I don't talk. No, I don't watch. 1857 01:29:35,120 --> 01:29:38,400 I watch a little, the only time I really watch now the Euro 1858 01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:40,040 League. Well, I think I've been watching 1859 01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:42,960 a lot of Euro League stuff the last two weeks because the 1860 01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:45,760 entire St. John's roster is suddenly from 1861 01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:49,040 Europe here, you know, So I'm watching these clips with these 1862 01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:52,080 wacky courts and these different ads on the jerseys and five 1863 01:29:52,080 --> 01:29:55,160 different colored basketballs. I'm like, all right, he looks 1864 01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:56,120 good. He's called the St. 1865 01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:57,560 John's.

Don't want to say, man, don't 1916 01:32:03,760 --> 01:32:05,520 get personal. No, no, no. 1917 01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,560 I was going to say he's a Brownie James, but I don't know. 1918 01:32:08,560 --> 01:32:13,280 He might he Cayenne Anthonys projects to be a better player 1919 01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:15,080 than Brawny James will be. Yep. 1920 01:32:15,080 --> 01:32:17,880 I just think he I don't know if you'll get that NBA chance. 1921 01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:19,320 I just I mean, yeah, he might not. 1922 01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:22,320 He might not like, you know, listen, I Syracuse to me. 1923 01:32:22,320 --> 01:32:24,560 I I miss Syracuse. I missed that dynamic. 1924 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:29,240 I really do now it for most of my I got LED astray. 1925 01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:32,520 I got LED astray going to the a basketball school. 1926 01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:36,200 And then I went and it wasn't it wasn't a sports school at all. 1927 01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:41,080 And I know, I know I got to tell you like the deterioration of of 1928 01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:42,480 Syracuse. Now, I do think it's going to be 1929 01:32:42,480 --> 01:32:44,840 restored with J Mac in the house and that's going to be is 1930 01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:48,480 Stephen Dorf an assistant? That I think so that I imagine 1931 01:32:48,480 --> 01:32:51,440 that would bring some juice too. I thought I read that somewhere 1932 01:32:51,440 --> 01:32:53,920 that Eric Dievendorf is going to be an assistant. 1933 01:32:53,920 --> 01:32:57,320 Either way, J Mac is the coach and that will reignite the 1934 01:32:57,320 --> 01:32:59,960 passion. I love doing games there. 1935 01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:03,640 Obviously, this would mean that if it's I don't know if it's 1936 01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:05,880 quite a home at home, but if it turns into a home at home, I'd 1937 01:33:05,880 --> 01:33:08,880 love to go back to the Dome. It's it's that is a special 1938 01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:10,960 place to call the game, to watch a game. 1939 01:33:11,320 --> 01:33:14,440 But the disintegration of the Syracuse basketball program has 1940 01:33:14,440 --> 01:33:18,360 been said and I mean that like sincerely, it's been said to 1941 01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:20,760 witness they're they're in the wrong conference. 1942 01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:24,560 They've lost their way and they it's just but I do think they'll 1943 01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:27,040 start creeping back with J Mac people now. 1944 01:33:27,040 --> 01:33:28,600 The money's going to come back. All right. 1945 01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,480 He wasn't working out with Autry, You know, now you got 1946 01:33:31,480 --> 01:33:33,600 Jerry McNamara. Here's the NIL. 1947 01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:38,120 Here's the interest pretty soon, you know, you know, 2225 1948 01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:40,840 thousand a night again. I I think it's going to come 1949 01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:44,800 back, but it's down and and and a lot of it was due to, you 1950 01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:48,520 know, blackballing the guy Adam Weitzman, who is tossing a lot 1951 01:33:48,520 --> 01:33:50,960 of that and I do you know, are you familiar with him? 1952 01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:52,920 I don't know and I don't know that I want to get 2 in the 1953 01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:56,280 weedsie on Adam Weissman's NIL the like, give me the short 1954 01:33:56,280 --> 01:33:56,960 version. Go ahead. 1955 01:33:57,040 --> 01:34:01,400 No, basically, he was the guy who would he would he would 1956 01:34:01,400 --> 01:34:03,680 bring Giannis to the Syracuse games. 1957 01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:07,320 He brought Jalen Hurts the weekend before the Super Bowl to 1958 01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:12,840 the Dome, and he was the one who was primarily funding a lot of 1959 01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:18,240 the NIL deals for Syracuse's players, Jim Beheim and even the 1960 01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:20,840 chancellor of Syracuse University said. 1961 01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:23,000 We will not take any more money from this guy. 1962 01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:27,360 I'm not sure I've got to now. I've got to look into how he 1963 01:34:27,360 --> 01:34:29,400 earned that, that chunk of change. 1964 01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:31,520 You know, maybe there's a reason why they didn't take it. 1965 01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:34,400 Does it even matter? Somebody takes it and they can 1966 01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:36,320 put 20 points up on the board a night, whatever. 1967 01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:40,400 But yeah, I think a lot, you know, not having that funding 1968 01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:44,440 for the past couple years also kind of led to a lackluster 1969 01:34:44,440 --> 01:34:48,640 roster. 100% I would. No, it's all correlated to the 1970 01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:50,000 amount of money that you spend now. 1971 01:34:50,240 --> 01:34:53,480 Kentucky spent like $22 million last year and they fell way 1972 01:34:53,840 --> 01:34:57,120 short, like spending. And now everybody's over $10 1973 01:34:57,120 --> 01:34:59,000 million and there's a lot of teams now. 1974 01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:01,880 Really last year was kind of that that barrier, like if you 1975 01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:04,080 were 10 and St. John's was 10. 1976 01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:07,320 Is that threshold of all right, You're really all in kind of now 1977 01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:10,040 it's been bumped up to 15 and others are going to have more. 1978 01:35:10,040 --> 01:35:11,640 Like, it's really, it's ridiculous. 1979 01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,080 That's a deeper conversation for a different day. 1980 01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:17,920 But until they change the rules and as long as Mike Rippoli, my 1981 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,880 guy, Mikey by the water, you know, doing his thing for St. 1982 01:35:20,880 --> 01:35:23,400 John's, all the horses, the Derby, keep cutting those 1983 01:35:23,400 --> 01:35:26,280 checks, Mikey, you know. All right, let's get back to the 1984 01:35:26,280 --> 01:35:27,040 calls here. Who is up? 1985 01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:28,120 Who do I have? Who do I have? 1986 01:35:28,480 --> 01:35:31,200 Who do we got? We've got our buddy St. from 1987 01:35:31,200 --> 01:35:33,320 London St. What up? 1988 01:35:34,200 --> 01:35:36,520 What's up guys? How Are you ready T? 1989 01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:38,640 I'm good man, I'm good. How you doing? 1990 01:35:39,280 --> 01:35:40,120 Excellent. Happy Friday. 1991 01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:42,120 I'm doing good man. Doing real good. 1992 01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:47,880 Waiting for waiting for the Subway series, you know, so 1993 01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:50,640 that's going to be great. Cam Schlitter's going to be 1994 01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:56,600 great. And you know, I wanted to ask 1995 01:35:56,600 --> 01:35:58,720 you 2 questions. OK. 1996 01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:03,840 When was the last time you've come to London? 1997 01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:08,680 I've never been. I know, I know. 1998 01:36:09,320 --> 01:36:10,960 You've teed me up nicely, my friend. 1999 01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:12,720 OK, and Kim, let me tell you why. 2000 01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:14,760 So I had a jet. I was telling you guys about 2001 01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:18,160 those Jets trips. We had one on the books. 2002 01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:26,320 It was two years ago and it was obviously October and I was at 2003 01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:30,880 WFAM and you know, my old boss was kind of and I would have 2004 01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:32,160 made a lot of money that weekend, man. 2005 01:36:32,160 --> 01:36:34,320 But I got it. I got their perspective. 2006 01:36:34,320 --> 01:36:39,280 Like, dude, it's it's football season and it's the Yankees are 2007 01:36:39,280 --> 01:36:43,040 in the playoffs and and the Mets and we had, we had a whole 2008 01:36:43,040 --> 01:36:45,840 studio set up at BBC where I was going to be able to do my radio 2009 01:36:45,840 --> 01:36:48,800 show with Sal and just connect from London. 2010 01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,160 Like logistically we had it done. 2011 01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:54,720 But they, they, they didn't flat out say you can't go. 2012 01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:58,600 But what I was feeling, what I was receiving was because I 2013 01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:00,840 would have had a then miss a show to get back, given the six 2014 01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:03,840 hour time difference, I would have had to have missed either 2015 01:37:03,840 --> 01:37:07,360 Tuesday or Wednesday show. And there was too much going on. 2016 01:37:07,680 --> 01:37:09,840 And I thought I had to make the now they wound up getting rid of 2017 01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:11,160 me. So I sort of freaking went. 2018 01:37:11,440 --> 01:37:13,360 It didn't matter. I'm sure like, screw you, I'm 2019 01:37:13,440 --> 01:37:16,080 going and I'm making a boatload of cash and I'm going to be in 2020 01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:18,720 London anyway. But I made the decision and I'm 2021 01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:22,360 proud of it, that I thought that they really kind of wanted me to 2022 01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:24,880 make and that I think professionally I knew that I had 2023 01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:26,080 to make. So it's all good. 2024 01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:28,600 Excellent. Well, thanks for the 2025 01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:31,960 explanation. I'll tell you the reason why I'm 2026 01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:35,880 asking. Of course, then we've had a lot 2027 01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:39,520 of frequent conversations, which I completely and utterly enjoy. 2028 01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:43,800 Obviously listen to you for a very long time, even on ESPN 2029 01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:47,160 Radio when you had Stephen A and, you know, so yeah, we're 2030 01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:48,800 going back. Yeah. 2031 01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:53,080 What I wanted to propose, and this is twofold because you 2032 01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:58,280 mentioned that, you know, when J Rod asked you about WNBAI, 2033 01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:01,680 wanted to say even though you're doing your own thing now, BT 2034 01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:04,400 Unleashed, you do it every day. You're hitting the pavement 2035 01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:07,160 hard. But if you do give yourself a 2036 01:38:07,160 --> 01:38:14,160 holiday, you are I would love to invite you as my guest, My my 2037 01:38:14,200 --> 01:38:18,280 Casa SU Casa. You can, you can stay and I 2038 01:38:18,280 --> 01:38:20,400 would like to take you to a rugby match. 2039 01:38:21,480 --> 01:38:25,520 Oh, rugby, yeah. Or or Test cricket to try to get 2040 01:38:25,520 --> 01:38:28,720 you to understand and embrace a new game I've. 2041 01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:30,600 Watched a by the way, don't sell me short. 2042 01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,400 I've watched a little cricket, usually more from India, like 2043 01:38:33,400 --> 01:38:37,320 whenever I stumble upon cricket, IPL, yeah, I keep it on and and 2044 01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:39,560 and by the way, first of all, very, very generous. 2045 01:38:39,680 --> 01:38:43,120 Now that's deeper than you know, my guy inviting me Benji to the 2046 01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:46,000 Knick game, which is right here. I'm not saying, I'm not saying. 2047 01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:49,560 No, no, no. I got you rugby. 2048 01:38:50,440 --> 01:38:51,680 I got you now. It's awesome, dude. 2049 01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:53,440 The rugby. So my high school, I didn't play 2050 01:38:53,440 --> 01:38:55,240 rugby because it's during baseball season. 2051 01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:57,000 I don't think I would have been that good at it anyway because 2052 01:38:57,000 --> 01:39:00,520 I'm not very fast at all. But my, my rugby team at Xavier 2053 01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:04,640 in Manhattan is really one of the top rugby. 2054 01:39:04,640 --> 01:39:08,440 It's a private school that has a rugby program, one of the best 2055 01:39:08,440 --> 01:39:11,520 in the entire country. And they every year they either 2056 01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:15,000 they've gone to Australia to play, they've gone to London. 2057 01:39:15,240 --> 01:39:18,240 So I as a total Rugby, I just never played. 2058 01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:20,120 I've never been to an event, that would be awesome. 2059 01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:23,120 Yeah. I mean, yeah, it'd be great. 2060 01:39:23,160 --> 01:39:26,080 I mean, I don't know your schedule, but how it usually 2061 01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:30,480 works is we have our autumn internationals right now, as I 2062 01:39:30,480 --> 01:39:33,800 mentioned yesterday when we were talking about the schedule the 2063 01:39:33,800 --> 01:39:35,600 Gallagher Premiership is on right now. 2064 01:39:35,600 --> 01:39:37,240 So that's more club. Yep. 2065 01:39:37,240 --> 01:39:40,880 And then and then in March of every year, which is great, we 2066 01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:44,920 have the Six Nations, which is England, Wales, Scotland, 2067 01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:47,880 Ireland, oh France. Oh, that's got to be, that's got 2068 01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:50,520 to be a death match. Oh, oh, it's oh, it's amazing. 2069 01:39:50,600 --> 01:39:53,160 It's and that's Test and that's Test rugby, right? 2070 01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:55,400 So yeah, yeah, yeah, it is it is incredible. 2071 01:39:56,160 --> 01:40:01,000 And also cricket, you know, I, you know, baseball derives from 2072 01:40:01,000 --> 01:40:03,960 it. So for me, I could, I could chew 2073 01:40:03,960 --> 01:40:07,480 your ear off about cricket and the rules and everything. 2074 01:40:07,480 --> 01:40:11,920 I, and I think a baseball savant as yourself, would find it 2075 01:40:12,040 --> 01:40:14,400 absolutely fascinating. I do. 2076 01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:17,680 When I watch it, it's I think I would have been good at cricket 2077 01:40:17,680 --> 01:40:19,000 too. I think I would have hammered 2078 01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:20,960 the ball. I think you would have as well 2079 01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:24,240 to be fair. But like, you're watching IPL, 2080 01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:24,680 right? Right. 2081 01:40:24,680 --> 01:40:27,760 That's T20, The same thing that they're doing in the States that 2082 01:40:27,760 --> 01:40:31,000 they've released. So that's 20 overs, right? 2083 01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:34,960 But Test cricket, and This is why baseball has series, right? 2084 01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:38,880 Because Test cricket is 1 match but played over 5 days. 2085 01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:41,080 You understand? I got you. 2086 01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:42,680 Yeah. So that's why. 2087 01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:46,960 And the reason why it's called Test is because it is a Test 2088 01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:51,040 mentally and physically. So imagine you're a batsman, 2089 01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:53,680 right? You're there in the hot sun 2090 01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:59,640 facing over 100 bowls and like forever, like you're sweating, 2091 01:40:59,640 --> 01:41:03,120 you're hot, you're frustrated and you're trying to play shots 2092 01:41:03,120 --> 01:41:06,520 and score runs. So it's not like you know, oh, 2093 01:41:06,520 --> 01:41:09,240 I, I Shuck out. You only get out once your 2094 01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:12,320 stumps go, right. So the fact that is Test cricket 2095 01:41:12,320 --> 01:41:15,400 is that you're there and even on even the attack side, which is 2096 01:41:15,400 --> 01:41:17,440 the bowling. So you're there. 2097 01:41:17,440 --> 01:41:21,320 You can't get these guys out. You're bowling and over is 6 2098 01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:24,920 bowls and over, so you're bowling all day like I I'm 2099 01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:26,560 getting really excited. Just even talk to you. 2100 01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:29,680 I don't want to tell. But but I'm but I just, I swear 2101 01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:34,520 to you, man, if you ever, ever like one thing I think is like, 2102 01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:36,840 you know, we've lost humanity with all the technology and all 2103 01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:39,240 the stuff that's fake and nonsense. 2104 01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:43,360 One thing you cannot kill is the human spirit and connectivity, 2105 01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:47,520 especially when it comes to men in sports, women and men in 2106 01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:49,280 sports, women and women in sports. 2107 01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:55,760 So as one human being to another, I do open my doors to 2108 01:41:55,760 --> 01:41:57,680 you.

If you look at the US Open and 2143 01:43:21,120 --> 01:43:23,480 you look at obviously the Masters before that to get the 2144 01:43:23,480 --> 01:43:28,120 majors going or even TPC, like the fifth major before, and of 2145 01:43:28,120 --> 01:43:30,280 course, the Open Championship every year. 2146 01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:32,800 It's it's just, I don't know, man. 2147 01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:35,240 It just, it never has the IT just doesn't have any juice. 2148 01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,200 It's weird.

Hey, my boy Mike Quinn just 2150 01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:43,200 texted me yesterday about doing something at Borelli's for a 2151 01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:45,320 little Nick's stuff. So we got some good things 2152 01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:46,840 coming there. Shout out to those guys. 2153 01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:49,920 I was stuck in traffic on the Van Wyck Stunning going to the 2154 01:43:49,920 --> 01:43:52,600 Mets game the other day. Kids were playing cricket in the 2155 01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:54,360 park like we would play Wiffle ball. 2156 01:43:54,720 --> 01:43:57,880 Yeah. I mean, listen, it's funny, I, I 2157 01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:02,280 don't know their, their descent because I just, I never, I, I 2158 01:44:02,280 --> 01:44:05,240 don't know, I, I think it was, I think it was an Indian league. 2159 01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:06,840 I think it could have been Jamaican. 2160 01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:09,920 I don't know for sure. But even when I was young, when 2161 01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:12,360 I was growing up, playing baseball at Marine Park in the 2162 01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:16,280 80s on, if you know, like where Kings Plaza is in Flatbush Ave. 2163 01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:19,040 like on the other side, on the side of the park closest to 2164 01:44:19,040 --> 01:44:21,920 Kings Plaza, right by the Creek, whatever, like that, that if you 2165 01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:23,080 know the Creek, you know the Creek. 2166 01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:27,160 They were playing cricket there in the 80s, in the 80s. 2167 01:44:27,160 --> 01:44:30,160 J Rod. So yeah, yeah, no doubt. 2168 01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:32,800 I the only thing I don't know and I don't well, I mean, I 2169 01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:35,960 don't profess to know all the rules at all, but is the is the 2170 01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:38,640 ball like heavy like say a lacrosse ball? 2171 01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:40,240 That's what I wondered too, right. 2172 01:44:40,280 --> 01:44:42,640 I think it's like hard though, because it's snaps, right? 2173 01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:44,960 It's definitely hard. It's got yeah, but I think it's 2174 01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,720 is it rubberized? It's not leather and I know that 2175 01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:49,720 I don't think, I don't think they're stitching on it. 2176 01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:53,800 I think it's more heavy rubber rather than, you know, a 2177 01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:55,520 baseball is about 5 and a quarter oz. 2178 01:44:55,520 --> 01:44:57,320 Matter of fact, it's got to be 5.25. 2179 01:44:57,560 --> 01:44:59,560 I don't know what it weighs. It looks heavier and it 2180 01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:01,560 obviously doesn't go as far as it's got to be heavier. 2181 01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:05,440 But the one thing that I don't know, I mean, outside of like 2182 01:45:05,440 --> 01:45:08,600 guys pulling hamstrings and ruptured Achilles and torn ACLS, 2183 01:45:08,600 --> 01:45:12,080 when you're running, does anybody get hurt in cricket? 2184 01:45:12,080 --> 01:45:14,520 Like maybe like pulling shoulder? 2185 01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:18,000 Yeah, No, I don't mean like, I don't mean an injury from like 2186 01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:20,680 throwing it and how they do like they it's a very violent release 2187 01:45:20,680 --> 01:45:24,440 of the ball. But like in baseball, guys get 2188 01:45:24,440 --> 01:45:27,160 hit and they they break a handmade bone or they whatever 2189 01:45:27,160 --> 01:45:29,360 it might be, they break their wrist or fracture their, you 2190 01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:32,040 know, something in their, in their elbow or their forearm. 2191 01:45:32,480 --> 01:45:33,600 I don't really see many injuries. 2192 01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:34,800 I meant, listen, maybe there are. 2193 01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:37,640 I just I'm not Privy to them.

Got it. 2261 01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:46,000 Jordan's, you got the, you got Jordan's lobster duck. 2262 01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:47,560 Maybe that maybe that name even changed. 2263 01:48:47,560 --> 01:48:50,120 But my dad's going to tell me right after the show. 2264 01:48:50,880 --> 01:48:54,200 It's it's awesome and it's on the water and it's just like 2265 01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:55,720 it's no frills. It's not like you're walking in 2266 01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:57,200 some. But the food is great. 2267 01:48:57,440 --> 01:48:59,280 You're right on like, you know, like the water. 2268 01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,640 You got the little channel. And then obviously, when you go 2269 01:49:01,920 --> 01:49:04,800 to Sheepshead Bay, if you go fishing, which is where I used 2270 01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:06,520 to go fishing. Yeah. 2271 01:49:07,480 --> 01:49:10,320 I, I haven't gone yet here, but I've really been meaning to. 2272 01:49:10,320 --> 01:49:13,320 Like, my roommate went boat fishing last year, but I haven't 2273 01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:15,520 gone fishing here yet. Did he go out of Sheepshead Bay? 2274 01:49:15,680 --> 01:49:18,040 Yes, he went out of Sheepshead Bay. 2275 01:49:18,280 --> 01:49:19,160 Do you like to fish? Yeah. 2276 01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:21,560 Yeah, Yeah, Dude, you got to go. All right. 2277 01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:22,320 Done. Done. 2278 01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:24,400 Now, the problem is you're probably going to catch sea 2279 01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:28,520 Robins and you're probably going to catch, you know, those little 2280 01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:30,520 doormat, like the little dormy shark. 2281 01:49:30,520 --> 01:49:31,840 They look like a little baby shark. 2282 01:49:31,840 --> 01:49:33,800 Yeah. Like the nurse shark things like 2283 01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:35,520 the little, like brown ones. Yeah. 2284 01:49:35,920 --> 01:49:37,720 No, these, these are like more grey. 2285 01:49:37,720 --> 01:49:39,080 The sea rods are obviously brown. 2286 01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:42,400 But like when I would go, I started going in high school, 2287 01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:46,320 you would get weak fish. You would and like, it's just 2288 01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:50,160 overfished the waters and the regulations like the fluke and 2289 01:49:50,160 --> 01:49:53,000 the flounders get more and more. It's tough to, it's tough to 2290 01:49:53,000 --> 01:49:55,560 catch a keeper. But back when I was going, you 2291 01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:57,760 know, you get a lot of blue fish, right? 2292 01:49:57,760 --> 01:50:02,160 And I don't like blue fish too Bony, Not my, I would never 2293 01:50:02,160 --> 01:50:03,840 order blue fish in a restaurant ever. 2294 01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:05,760 But I love flounder and I love fluke, right? 2295 01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:07,120 You stuff it with crab meat, whatever. 2296 01:50:07,360 --> 01:50:09,160 But back then we would catch a lot of it. 2297 01:50:10,040 --> 01:50:11,240 Either way, you'll have a great experience. 2298 01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:14,400 You go by the Verrazano Bridge and you know, it's, it's very 2299 01:50:14,400 --> 01:50:15,640 scenic. It's very nice. 2300 01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:17,560 I don't know what they're charging these days, but I used 2301 01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:19,080 to go on. I think Captain Jack was the 2302 01:50:19,080 --> 01:50:22,000 name of it, or Captain Jack Four, one of those party 2303 01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:24,240 vessels. There was a rush. 2304 01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:27,200 I think my dad told me that they closed a while ago. 2305 01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:32,720 There was an Italian joint more fancy like Ren Dazzos is kind of 2306 01:50:32,720 --> 01:50:34,240 like you just get in. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2307 01:50:34,240 --> 01:50:35,920 You could be wearing shorts and flip flops. 2308 01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:37,600 You get the and you just in and out. 2309 01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:39,080 You get a beer and you have some good food. 2310 01:50:39,560 --> 01:50:42,680 This Maria's was more of a formal restaurant. 2311 01:50:42,680 --> 01:50:46,120 I, I'm, I'm positive it's gone, but it was also really good. 2312 01:50:46,120 --> 01:50:49,160 Not as good as Michael's. If you're going to if you want 2313 01:50:49,160 --> 01:50:53,880 real Flatbush ish area food and you want Italian food, which is 2314 01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:55,840 what you should want, you got to go to Michael's. 2315 01:50:55,840 --> 01:50:57,480 Michael's is the best. Boom, I'll check it out. 2316 01:50:57,960 --> 01:50:59,280 Dude. I I appreciate it. 2317 01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:01,800 Also, like a lot of comments have hooked it up too. 2318 01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:03,880 They've given some really good advice. 2319 01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:05,400 What are they saying? Let me see what are they? 2320 01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:09,840 I've seen bar Mario and Red Hook taste the tropics ice cream and 2321 01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:11,680 Flatbush. I don't know you've never tried 2322 01:51:11,680 --> 01:51:14,760 that Defanti's in Red Hook. I've heard of that spot before. 2323 01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:18,560 Which one Defanti's in Red Hook. It's a it's a it's like one of 2324 01:51:18,560 --> 01:51:20,800 those like pretty famous sandwich shops. 2325 01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:24,720 Well, I got one for Bamonte's. Bamonte's. 2326 01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:27,720 OK, like Williamsburg, like green dude. 2327 01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:29,640 I mean, that's right next to me is great. 2328 01:51:29,800 --> 01:51:32,280 I'm going then I might go after this done. 2329 01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:35,680 So you Oh, you that's yeah. You've never been to Bamonte's. 2330 01:51:35,680 --> 01:51:39,120 No, but Williamsburg Greenpoint is literally a 5 minute bike 2331 01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:41,240 ride from my place. So it is so good. 2332 01:51:42,160 --> 01:51:46,440 I had where we had my grandparents, my mom's parents 2333 01:51:46,440 --> 01:51:49,520 on the Italian side. We had their 50th wedding 2334 01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:52,520 anniversary at Bamante's. No way. 2335 01:51:52,520 --> 01:51:54,560 Like Piazza used to go there all the time when he was with the 2336 01:51:54,560 --> 01:51:56,800 Mets. It's one of those joints where 2337 01:51:56,800 --> 01:51:59,280 and if you want to go out to Queens, go to Lenny's and and 2338 01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:01,520 tell them that I sent you. Like Lenny's is one of my 2339 01:52:01,520 --> 01:52:05,240 favorite places of all time. But like when you when you walk 2340 01:52:05,240 --> 01:52:07,200 into Bamante's, I love spots like this. 2341 01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:10,120 Lenny has it as well, although I think a lot of the pictures got 2342 01:52:10,120 --> 01:52:12,520 damaged in a flood. Like you'd walk in, like, 2343 01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:15,200 there's a picture of, like, Andre the Giant sign with the 2344 01:52:15,240 --> 01:52:19,520 owners and like, you know, all the wrestlers and Reggie Jackson 2345 01:52:19,520 --> 01:52:22,080 and like, yeah, yeah, old Sieberg and Mazzilli. 2346 01:52:22,600 --> 01:52:25,400 And Bamonte's has that nice little bar scene, but it's more 2347 01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:27,600 about the food. The last time I was at 2348 01:52:27,600 --> 01:52:32,120 Bamonte's, I took my wife and there I'll never forget, there 2349 01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:34,560 were two or three nuns that were there. 2350 01:52:34,800 --> 01:52:36,720 We went for lunch and we wound up. 2351 01:52:37,520 --> 01:52:40,080 I was talking to the nuns and took a took a picture with them. 2352 01:52:40,240 --> 01:52:42,520 It it's been a while, but Monty's is great as well. 2353 01:52:42,760 --> 01:52:44,320 I'm still going to put Michael's at the top. 2354 01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:48,000 All right, I got that at #1 it's, it's, you know, if we're 2355 01:52:48,000 --> 01:52:51,600 talking to horse race, I'll give Michaels a nose, but it's, it's 2356 01:52:51,600 --> 01:52:53,920 kind of a photo finish, like Bamante's is not getting. 2357 01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:55,520 So it's close. All right, dude, I'm, I'm 2358 01:52:55,520 --> 01:52:57,600 definitely going to. And it's a place where you can 2359 01:52:57,600 --> 01:52:59,960 like take out a sandwich, like a deli sandwich. 2360 01:52:59,960 --> 01:53:02,120 Or is it more of a restaurant? It's a restaurant. 2361 01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:05,040 I I believe, I'm sure they have to do take out. 2362 01:53:05,040 --> 01:53:06,720 It's a restaurant. You know, you have, you don't 2363 01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:08,040 have to wear a suit. But you know what? 2364 01:53:08,080 --> 01:53:10,520 Yeah, maybe a collared shirt, Kathy's, whatever, maybe even 2365 01:53:10,520 --> 01:53:14,440 jeans with a nice sports jacket. I don't know anybody. 2366 01:53:15,240 --> 01:53:16,880 I mean, they they they might. They might. 2367 01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:18,760 I mean, they might know my name. From what? 2368 01:53:18,760 --> 01:53:20,760 Whatever. But I don't know anybody at 2369 01:53:20,760 --> 01:53:22,360 Bamante's. We actually know people at 2370 01:53:22,360 --> 01:53:24,200 Michaels. So depending upon what you're 2371 01:53:24,200 --> 01:53:27,360 looking for, little personalization, that's up to 2372 01:53:27,400 --> 01:53:28,160 you.

We yeah, yes, Lou. 2387 01:54:00,280 --> 01:54:03,440 And you came up on the stage and we were talking up on the stage. 2388 01:54:03,440 --> 01:54:04,240 Right. That's right. 2389 01:54:04,240 --> 01:54:04,840 That's right. If you. 2390 01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,000 Remember you coming in from? How good? 2391 01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:09,920 Was that night. It was a fantastic night. 2392 01:54:09,920 --> 01:54:11,520 I was hoping you guys get to do it again. 2393 01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:14,160 But you know, my schedule as an airline pilot, it's kind of 2394 01:54:14,160 --> 01:54:18,160 tough to, you know, get tickets ahead of time for your event 2395 01:54:18,160 --> 01:54:19,280 with Carl Banks. Wait, wait, wait, wait, I would 2396 01:54:19,280 --> 01:54:20,560 think. It would be easier. 2397 01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:22,480 You're a pilot, you fly whatever you want. 2398 01:54:23,080 --> 01:54:24,760 Yeah, it is. But you know, with the airline 2399 01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:27,400 schedules and everything, you know, and you just never know 2400 01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:30,360 when you're going to get cold. So it's kind of tough to make 2401 01:54:30,480 --> 01:54:32,640 plans in advance. But I was glad I was able to go 2402 01:54:32,640 --> 01:54:35,840 up there and then spend time with Bartuche later on over at 2403 01:54:35,840 --> 01:54:39,680 the bar next door. Is is that guy a trip or what? 2404 01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:42,000 Yeah, he's nuts. He's out of his mind. 2405 01:54:44,480 --> 01:54:45,560 He's absolutely nuts. I. 2406 01:54:45,600 --> 01:54:46,440 Love him nuts he's. Crazy. 2407 01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:48,120 He's like an absolute wild. Man, he is. 2408 01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:50,720 He absolutely is. BT anyway, the reason I'm 2409 01:54:50,720 --> 01:54:53,880 calling, I know you talked about this stylistic change for the 2410 01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:56,720 Knicks that's happened that you've noticed over the last 2411 01:54:56,720 --> 01:55:00,120 month. I really don't know if I wanted 2412 01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:03,560 to see him. Get your thoughts on what you 2413 01:55:03,560 --> 01:55:06,720 thought on this. I think it's more like the first 2414 01:55:06,720 --> 01:55:11,000 three games of the of the playoffs against the Hawks when 2415 01:55:11,000 --> 01:55:14,720 they went down 2 to one. They kind of look similar to the 2416 01:55:14,720 --> 01:55:17,960 regular season. And I think, and I don't know 2417 01:55:17,960 --> 01:55:20,880 what was said and I wanted to get your thoughts on this, that 2418 01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:23,520 interaction between Rick Brunson and Jalen Brunson on the 2419 01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:26,200 sideline towards the end of game three. 2420 01:55:26,800 --> 01:55:29,320 I think that flipped the switch in this team. 2421 01:55:29,320 --> 01:55:32,520 It saw, I think the other players on the team witnessed 2422 01:55:32,520 --> 01:55:36,200 that, you know, witnessed, you know, Rick getting in Jalen's, 2423 01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:39,600 you know, rear end. And maybe, you know, they're, 2424 01:55:39,720 --> 01:55:40,800 you know, they're thinking to themselves. 2425 01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:43,560 Maybe there's it, maybe it's not a daddy ball situation. 2426 01:55:43,560 --> 01:55:47,360 And I did something, I, I, I don't know what was said, but it 2427 01:55:47,360 --> 01:55:50,480 just says something happened with this team from that point 2428 01:55:50,480 --> 01:55:54,080 forward where they've ripped off 7 straight games now. 2429 01:55:54,880 --> 01:55:57,160 And I just wanted to get your thoughts on that. 2430 01:55:57,160 --> 01:55:59,520 I think that's and it hasn't been talked about. 2431 01:55:59,960 --> 01:56:01,640 Well, I, if you're talking about, remember there was a 2432 01:56:01,640 --> 01:56:04,400 situation too, where Brunson said something, the dad said 2433 01:56:04,400 --> 01:56:07,280 something to Jalen and cat wound up taking the the free throw. 2434 01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:12,720 Remember that technical member and and cat was really quiet at 2435 01:56:12,720 --> 01:56:15,160 that point and we brought that up. 2436 01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:17,400 Either way, I didn't know if you meant that in but the other the 2437 01:56:17,400 --> 01:56:20,040 other conversation, which I, I know now I know exactly what 2438 01:56:20,040 --> 01:56:23,360 you're alluding to. Listen, Daddy bald is a real 2439 01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:28,080 thing in Little League. Anything that Jalen Brunson 2440 01:56:28,080 --> 01:56:32,360 gets, he's earned. Now I do think that there had to 2441 01:56:32,360 --> 01:56:37,120 be a a shift in philosophy and usage rates had to change and 2442 01:56:37,480 --> 01:56:40,480 running the offense were funneling through cat. 2443 01:56:40,480 --> 01:56:42,760 I think it's obviously opened up so many whether it's backdoor 2444 01:56:42,760 --> 01:56:46,440 cuts and OG dunks or bridges dunks or guys in the corner. 2445 01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:49,000 I mean, he is just a great passer who could see over 2446 01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:52,840 everybody cuz he's 7 feet. So I, I, I think that's a little 2447 01:56:52,840 --> 01:56:55,440 convenient myself, Lou. It's not a bad thought. 2448 01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:58,040 I'm not shooting it down. I can't prove it and, and I 2449 01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:01,720 could be wrong. I think that on some level Mike 2450 01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:05,680 Brown kind of always knew that he was going to eventually start 2451 01:57:05,680 --> 01:57:09,240 to play that way because they were doing it the last month and 2452 01:57:09,240 --> 01:57:11,040 1/2 or so on the in the, in the season. 2453 01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:13,280 So they were kind of working toward that. 2454 01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:16,080 But bottom line, it says I don't care how the hell they got there 2455 01:57:16,080 --> 01:57:18,040 as long as they got there. That's all that matters to me, 2456 01:57:18,040 --> 01:57:20,040 Lou. I don't care about what yelling 2457 01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:21,480 at each other. Brunson Daddy. 2458 01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:24,880 Hey, run it through cat. And now understand that you're a 2459 01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:27,880 much more diverse team and a much more dangerous team and a 2460 01:57:27,880 --> 01:57:31,400 team that for the first time, you know, all year, I, I now 2461 01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:34,240 believe is championship worthy as I've had for the last week or 2462 01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:38,080 so, which I, as you all know, I did not think during the season. 2463 01:57:40,600 --> 01:57:44,880 Absolutely. And also, even though my Mets 2464 01:57:44,960 --> 01:57:48,080 the last three games have been looked pretty, pretty promising, 2465 01:57:48,080 --> 01:57:51,080 I don't see them beating the Yankees much and they may take 2466 01:57:51,080 --> 01:57:53,480 one out of three this week. And I'm a realistic Mets fan 2467 01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:55,040 like you're a realistic Yankees fan. 2468 01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:58,360 Yeah, I mean, listen, I'd have to think that you guys will get 2469 01:57:58,360 --> 01:58:02,960 a little medicine this weekend, hopefully in your own crib, and 2470 01:58:03,120 --> 01:58:05,800 you will have to swallow hard and and not enjoy the taste as 2471 01:58:05,800 --> 01:58:07,280 it goes down. Hopefully we're going to serve 2472 01:58:07,280 --> 01:58:10,400 you a couple of L's and the Yankees will reverse the way 2473 01:58:10,400 --> 01:58:12,760 they've been playing and the Metsis will go back to, you 2474 01:58:12,760 --> 01:58:15,520 know, being. Largely non existent, yeah. 2475 01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:17,240 I don't see them being Schlitter tonight. 2476 01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:19,520 And then we don't even have a Game 2 starter. 2477 01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:22,320 So it's probably going to be a bullpen, A bullpen game for game 2478 01:58:22,320 --> 01:58:23,360 two. I know. 2479 01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:26,280 So I think our best chances maybe Freddy Peralta against 2480 01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:29,640 Weathers on Sunday, but other than that it's not looking too 2481 01:58:29,640 --> 01:58:31,000 good. Well, I mean, listen, you can 2482 01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:33,520 win a low scoring game tonight. I, I don't think that the, why 2483 01:58:33,520 --> 01:58:35,640 would I think that the Yankees are dropping six or seven on 2484 01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:37,000 Clay Holmes. I mean, the Yankees aren't 2485 01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:38,960 dropping six or seven on anybody. 2486 01:58:38,960 --> 01:58:41,600 They got 5 automatic outs, basically 5 dudes hitting under 2487 01:58:41,600 --> 01:58:44,320 200. So I think if the Yankees win 2488 01:58:44,320 --> 01:58:47,720 tonight, and I think that they probably will, I think it's a 2489 01:58:47,720 --> 01:58:50,400 low scoring game. And then, you know, you probably 2490 01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:53,360 see a little, I would think some Peterson tomorrow is a lefty 2491 01:58:53,360 --> 01:58:56,240 kind of piece things together. I I don't know what they're 2492 01:58:56,240 --> 01:58:58,440 going. To do tomorrow, but yeah, I mean 2493 01:58:58,560 --> 01:59:01,960 it I'm I'm looking forward to seeing Schlittler and Soto like 2494 01:59:01,960 --> 01:59:06,520 that's going to be fun that's going to be fun all right, man. 2495 01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:10,640 Thanks for the call, Lou have a great weekend, buddy there you 2496 01:59:10,640 --> 01:59:13,600 go sweet go sweet Lou.

But it becomes so normal today. 2504 01:59:34,120 --> 01:59:36,440 Yeah. And and it is like, and you 2505 01:59:36,440 --> 01:59:39,080 know, when you think, when you really break it down, it is the 2506 01:59:39,080 --> 01:59:44,640 safest form of transportation. Literally like like like in 2507 01:59:44,640 --> 01:59:48,840 terms of, I know least amount of actual accidents have occurred 2508 01:59:48,840 --> 01:59:53,320 in like, like planes are the safest for, but it's just like, 2509 01:59:53,360 --> 01:59:56,080 dude, something about like the stakes are high, bro. 2510 01:59:56,240 --> 01:59:58,920 When you're like when you're when you're behind that, when 2511 01:59:58,920 --> 02:00:01,080 you're behind that wheel. Or is it a wheel? 2512 02:00:01,080 --> 02:00:03,840 Is it like, no, it's, it's, it's, it's not the steering 2513 02:00:03,840 --> 02:00:05,560 wheel. It's what is. 2514 02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:07,520 Yeah, I'm forgetting. There must be a word for it. 2515 02:00:07,520 --> 02:00:09,280 Circle. I don't know. 2516 02:00:09,280 --> 02:00:12,440 I'm forgetting steering mechanism, mechanism behind that 2517 02:00:12,440 --> 02:00:15,000 mechanism. But it's all you, you, you know, 2518 02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:18,000 it's basically all. You know, it's all like 2519 02:00:18,000 --> 02:00:20,400 digitalized, like you just punch in where you're going and like 2520 02:00:20,400 --> 02:00:23,320 it's not like you're like, oh, is anybody coming left side? 2521 02:00:23,520 --> 02:00:25,800 Like God forbid, you know, like you just you kind of chill and 2522 02:00:25,800 --> 02:00:27,480 you kind of once you know what's going on. 2523 02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:30,080 Yeah, it's probably pretty.

I appreciate, you know, the 2525 02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:37,160 safety aspect and and what the men and women do for us, but it 2526 02:00:37,160 --> 02:00:40,040 is it's a good job and you got to live wherever you want to, 2527 02:00:40,160 --> 02:00:42,320 you know, like my father, my father-in-law is a retired 2528 02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:44,280 pilot. No way Commercial. 2529 02:00:44,280 --> 02:00:45,160 Yeah. Oh yeah. 2530 02:00:45,240 --> 02:00:47,880 So he's and it's cool because it's like you've probably seen 2531 02:00:47,880 --> 02:00:50,960 pretty, you've seen every continent probably pretty much 2532 02:00:50,960 --> 02:00:54,280 like yeah, he used to go to. I remember like towards the end. 2533 02:00:54,320 --> 02:00:57,680 Well, not not right at the end, but he would go to Germany quite 2534 02:00:57,680 --> 02:01:01,000 a bit. He would go to Belgium, he would 2535 02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:02,760 go to Japan. They'd go everywhere. 2536 02:01:02,760 --> 02:01:03,600 Too cool. Yeah. 2537 02:01:03,800 --> 02:01:04,200 Yeah. Very. 2538 02:01:04,240 --> 02:01:06,800 That's that's the one country I've got to make it out to. 2539 02:01:06,800 --> 02:01:09,600 Japan is like the one place I really want to see, man. 2540 02:01:10,120 --> 02:01:11,880 Yeah. Do you like Japanese food? 2541 02:01:12,160 --> 02:01:13,120 Yeah. Oh, love it, bro. 2542 02:01:13,120 --> 02:01:14,360 I love it.

It's just no, I like, I just 2545 02:01:21,800 --> 02:01:24,400 love sushi. I mean, OK, so there was a point 2546 02:01:24,400 --> 02:01:26,400 where I thought, I mean, I could still do it, but it's not very 2547 02:01:26,400 --> 02:01:28,240 healthy for you. I could eat Italian every single 2548 02:01:28,240 --> 02:01:29,720 day. I'm convinced now. 2549 02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:31,360 The last 10 years, I could eat sushi every day. 2550 02:01:31,360 --> 02:01:34,640 Like we just ordered sushi. My, my 9 and 11 year old kids, 2551 02:01:34,640 --> 02:01:36,400 like, they eat sushi. They're into it. 2552 02:01:36,560 --> 02:01:40,240 That's good. Oh, yeah, and we we go, we go 2553 02:01:40,240 --> 02:01:43,560 more sushi than sashimi. You know, the rice isn't. 2554 02:01:43,560 --> 02:01:44,680 Yeah, not that it's bad for kids. 2555 02:01:44,680 --> 02:01:46,760 Yeah, I don't, I don't need to just suck down a ton of rice, 2556 02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:48,920 you know, empty calories, whatever. 2557 02:01:49,240 --> 02:01:52,520 But yeah, the the tuna, salmon, I mean sushi. 2558 02:01:52,720 --> 02:01:54,840 Oh yeah. Big staple once a week in the 2559 02:01:54,840 --> 02:01:55,600 home. In our home. 2560 02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:56,120 We order it. Yeah. 2561 02:01:56,160 --> 02:02:00,040 And I and it's so are your kids aren't like picky eaters or 2562 02:02:00,040 --> 02:02:01,840 anything like that. They're pain in the ass eaters. 2563 02:02:01,880 --> 02:02:05,160 I mean, really they are like, you know, I guess that must be 2564 02:02:05,160 --> 02:02:09,080 every literally every kid then. Yeah, most kids, I hear this 2565 02:02:09,080 --> 02:02:12,040 from a lot of parents like, you know, like sometimes they just 2566 02:02:12,040 --> 02:02:16,320 nibble like they, they like he does this more than her, like 2567 02:02:16,760 --> 02:02:19,240 cereal and sometimes obviously eggs in the morning and you 2568 02:02:19,240 --> 02:02:21,120 know, piece of fruit. You slip him some milk and all 2569 02:02:21,120 --> 02:02:23,760 that stuff. But like he'll, he'll, he'll eat 2570 02:02:23,760 --> 02:02:27,480 his cereal in like dribs and drabs, like 2 spoonfuls. 2571 02:02:27,480 --> 02:02:30,040 Then he'll go and he'll grab a bat, then two. 2572 02:02:30,240 --> 02:02:33,520 Then I'll hear the ball bouncing and the then two spoonfuls and 2573 02:02:33,520 --> 02:02:36,160 I'll hear the 3D printer going. He's making something for his 2574 02:02:36,160 --> 02:02:38,080 business. I'm like, just keep, just sit 2575 02:02:38,080 --> 02:02:39,760 down and eat. Do it after. 2576 02:02:39,960 --> 02:02:44,000 Then the cereal gets soggy. No, I think every kid at the end 2577 02:02:44,000 --> 02:02:48,080 of the day is I was really bad. I was really bad when I was a 2578 02:02:48,080 --> 02:02:49,640 good kid. Not me really. 2579 02:02:50,000 --> 02:02:52,680 See, but that's that. I feel like that's, you know, 2580 02:02:52,680 --> 02:02:55,840 from your Gen. or my parent generation, your generation, 2581 02:02:55,840 --> 02:02:59,120 like they always talk about like they had to eat everything that 2582 02:02:59,120 --> 02:03:00,880 was on the plate. So you just didn't have an 2583 02:03:00,920 --> 02:03:04,960 option of being a picky eater. Yeah, I mean, I, I guess, I 2584 02:03:04,960 --> 02:03:07,640 guess first of all, like, you know #1 my mom is the best cook 2585 02:03:07,640 --> 02:03:10,160 in the world. So the best, the best. 2586 02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:13,880 So I mean, every Sunday meal, I mean, it's, you know, and she 2587 02:03:13,880 --> 02:03:15,200 would make some of that stuff during the week too. 2588 02:03:15,200 --> 02:03:17,520 Like even like chicken cacciatore, which is a real old 2589 02:03:17,520 --> 02:03:19,640 school Italian dish. Nobody really makes that 2590 02:03:19,640 --> 02:03:21,320 anymore. But with the puree, oh, it's 2591 02:03:21,320 --> 02:03:24,000 good. I'm like eggs, sausage and 2592 02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:26,280 Peppers, eggs and Peppers, you know. 2593 02:03:26,280 --> 02:03:27,880 Then obviously some more conventional stuff. 2594 02:03:27,880 --> 02:03:32,640 My dad would work the grill, but we, they were never like, no, 2595 02:03:32,640 --> 02:03:35,480 you, you eat every, you know, I mean, you know, I ate because I 2596 02:03:35,480 --> 02:03:37,760 just had a good appetite and it came naturally. 2597 02:03:37,760 --> 02:03:40,120 But I, I, I tell you that I got, I got to get moving. 2598 02:03:40,120 --> 02:03:41,360 I'll, I'll read maybe that chat too. 2599 02:03:41,360 --> 02:03:45,120 And then I got to bounce. But they during the summer, we'd 2600 02:03:45,120 --> 02:03:47,040 always hear the ice cream bells, right? 2601 02:03:47,560 --> 02:03:49,680 And a lot of the time they would come with me and my buddies were 2602 02:03:49,680 --> 02:03:51,680 still playing like wiffle ball on the street. 2603 02:03:52,120 --> 02:03:57,640 But I remember this one time we heard it and and we and Brussels 2604 02:03:57,640 --> 02:04:00,320 sprouts are absolutely repulsively gross. 2605 02:04:00,560 --> 02:04:02,280 You couldn't pay. I can't stand them right. 2606 02:04:02,680 --> 02:04:04,840 And thankfully she didn't make them very often, but I've never 2607 02:04:05,120 --> 02:04:08,720 that's like a take. You and I are are so opposite of 2608 02:04:08,720 --> 02:04:11,000 you. Like how I love Brussels 2609 02:04:11,000 --> 02:04:15,240 sprouts, dude, any day of the week, fried, roasted, salted, 2610 02:04:15,280 --> 02:04:18,880 really give it to me. OK, Those are my favorite. 2611 02:04:19,200 --> 02:04:21,600 Listen, I like broccoli with mushrooms. 2612 02:04:21,600 --> 02:04:24,880 I like, I don't like spinach that much, but cream, cream 2613 02:04:24,880 --> 02:04:26,280 spinach at a steak house is good. 2614 02:04:27,080 --> 02:04:28,480 I do. I love edamame. 2615 02:04:28,520 --> 02:04:29,720 Speaking of Japanese food, right. 2616 02:04:29,720 --> 02:04:31,560 Love that. Good salt, good edamame. 2617 02:04:31,960 --> 02:04:33,480 But no, I Brussels sprouts. Gross. 2618 02:04:33,480 --> 02:04:36,560 And I remember my sister and I actually, because we weren't 2619 02:04:36,560 --> 02:04:39,560 getting ice cream until we had some of the Brussels sprouts, we 2620 02:04:39,560 --> 02:04:43,480 actually froze our taste buds with ice cubes to eat them. 2621 02:04:43,640 --> 02:04:45,280 Eat the Brussels sprouts. So we couldn't. 2622 02:04:46,240 --> 02:04:48,720 Yeah, that is funny. All right, let me read this. 2623 02:04:48,720 --> 02:04:49,880 And then I absolutely have to go. 2624 02:04:49,880 --> 02:04:52,240 What do we got? BT Where did you meet? 2625 02:04:52,320 --> 02:04:54,760 And what it's a long? Story man. 2626 02:04:54,960 --> 02:04:57,600 Until now it's 12. 12 Do me a favor. 2627 02:04:57,600 --> 02:05:01,880 Say that the short version is at a Kentucky Derby party in 2628 02:05:01,880 --> 02:05:03,640 Manhattan. That's the short version. 2629 02:05:05,040 --> 02:05:07,520 I don't want to leave them short change there cuz you know, nice 2630 02:05:07,520 --> 02:05:10,800 and generous little super chat, but it's 12/12 as one of the 2631 02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:13,000 longest shows we've done. I got a lot to do today. 2632 02:05:13,480 --> 02:05:15,640 I want to let you guys know. So I appreciate that Matt, but 2633 02:05:15,640 --> 02:05:18,440 I'll give you guys the a fun story, some of the details at 2634 02:05:18,440 --> 02:05:20,080 some point. What else? 2635 02:05:20,080 --> 02:05:22,600 All right, Monday, Rothenberg, get it up there for me. 2636 02:05:22,600 --> 02:05:24,880 Jay, let's go. I've got Dave coming on. 2637 02:05:24,880 --> 02:05:27,760 I'm looking forward to get to know Dave a little bit either 2638 02:05:27,760 --> 02:05:30,920 10:30 or 11. Try to try to squash this beef 2639 02:05:30,920 --> 02:05:34,880 here, this blossoming issue, this rift, this, you know, I 2640 02:05:35,280 --> 02:05:37,600 don't know what's going on with these two guys, but they are 2641 02:05:37,600 --> 02:05:39,920 both good guys. I mean, I know Jerry and I just, 2642 02:05:40,040 --> 02:05:42,840 I know of Dave. So I'll get to know Dave, but he 2643 02:05:42,840 --> 02:05:45,320 strikes me as a good guy. His son's playing college 2644 02:05:45,320 --> 02:05:47,280 baseball too. So we definitely have that love 2645 02:05:47,280 --> 02:05:50,000 for, you know, youth sports and we'll have a little fun with 2646 02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:51,400 that. But I got to make sure there's 2647 02:05:51,400 --> 02:05:53,920 no negative Nick energy going into the conference finals. 2648 02:05:53,920 --> 02:05:56,080 And these two guys, like I can't let them. 2649 02:05:56,360 --> 02:05:58,600 I can't let their little riff sabotage it. 2650 02:05:58,600 --> 02:06:01,640 So I'll flush through it. Had Jerry on the other day. 2651 02:06:01,840 --> 02:06:03,960 It's Dave's turn on Monday. It's going to be great time, 2652 02:06:04,720 --> 02:06:06,280 Yanks and Mets, obviously over the weekend. 2653 02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:07,960 Subway Series, we'll get into that a lot. 2654 02:06:08,200 --> 02:06:11,560 Obviously keep an eye on the Pistons and the Cavaliers 2655 02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:13,400 tonight. Let's hope we get a Game 7 next 2656 02:06:13,400 --> 02:06:15,520 week. A ton of Knicks content, 2657 02:06:15,800 --> 02:06:17,680 obviously.

So anything you wanted to catch 2665 02:06:36,720 --> 02:06:39,400 up on, even if it's like the old thing when you two months ago 2666 02:06:39,400 --> 02:06:43,160 with Stephen A or Michael K La Greca, Jerry Ferrara was on last 2667 02:06:43,160 --> 02:06:46,040 week more and more and Pitino's in there somewhere. 2668 02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:48,320 So that's it.
