00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,840
Everybody beats you unleashed 
back on this. 

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,680
What do we got Thursday? 
What's going on, everybody? 

13
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,000
Hopefully everybody's doing 
well. 

14
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,360
All right, So Jay, I got to get 
my jet, my guy Jay involved 

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,360
right away. 
So when we launched the channel,

16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,160
you weren't a part of it the 
first couple of weeks. 

17
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:45,760
You came in shortly thereafter. 
It was all about, you know, 

18
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,240
trying to lay a foundation and 
letting everybody know where I 

19
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,160
was post WFAN. 
And then obviously a little 

20
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,800
studio redesign and we've had a 
couple of different iterations 

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,400
with that. 
We had to get rid of the glare. 

22
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,840
I was initially in my basement. 
Obviously sponsorship was a 

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,400
massive, massive part of the 
deal for us to to further 

24
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,400
monetize this to be able to do 
some stuff. 

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,600
And I've always said click by 
click and brick by brick. 

26
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:14,080
And you know, for all the shows 
that we've done and, and we've 

27
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,080
had some bangers, we've had some
great guests. 

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,920
We've had great, great 
interaction. 

29
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,240
I think the, the BT Elites 
family has been strong and loud 

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,960
and consistent and just awesome,
as I fully expected. 

31
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,320
But the one thing, and I was 
asked this, you know, and I'm 

32
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:33,760
still asking from time to time, 
hey, what do you miss most about

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,160
WFAN, right? 
And the thing to me that really 

34
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,760
jumps out, sure, some back and 
forth with sound, some other 

35
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,480
stuff. 
But to me it's really being able

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,480
to connect and in a non digital 
way, in an audible way. 

37
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,920
You know, that back and forth 
with the fans where somebody 

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,360
calls up and I say something 
they disagree with, they get on 

39
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,320
me, I get back at them, we go 
back and forth. 

40
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:02,520
It's an energy and it's a it's a
palpable presence for, for that,

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,160
that, that I, that I kind of 
need, that I, that I missed, 

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,720
that I love, that I've always 
enjoyed. 

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,520
And we are very happy to 
announce that beginning 

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,080
tomorrow. 
And this is where J Rod comes 

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,200
in. 
You will be able to call and if 

46
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,520
you want to try to undress me or
if you want to cosign something,

47
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,440
it is go time. 
J Rod, take it away. 

48
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,240
What do you got there? 
Buddy. 

49
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,640
Yes, Sir. 
So yeah, super excited to 

50
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:26,000
announce this. 
You know, last night I felt like

51
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,800
I was like Frankenstein, like 
like the ideas were just coming.

52
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,680
I felt like I was creating a 
monster. 

53
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,600
So yeah, let me just like try to
break this through as quickly as

54
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,840
possible. 
So we're going to use the 

55
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,080
platform that BT and I currently
use, Stream Yard for this. 

56
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,040
So how it's going to work, I'm 
going to pin in the chat and 

57
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,640
it's also going to be in the 
description of every video we do

58
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:51,560
the callers for. 
It's going to have the link to a

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,200
Stream Yard side studio, almost 
like a backstage. 

60
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,680
In that studio, you're going to 
tell me your name, where you're 

61
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,000
calling from, and your question.
Once you're approved with your 

62
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,120
question, I'm going to send you 
personally in a private message,

63
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:11,000
which is within the stream yard,
a link to this studio in which 

64
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,160
we'll announce you. 
And then here's just like a 

65
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,000
little example. 
I kind of cooked this up. 

66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:15,520
Oh. 
Look at you. 

67
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,320
Oh, look at SO. 
We'll have that. 

68
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,640
So we'll have like the name, 
we'll have the little location 

69
00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:21,920
right there. 
We'll throw it up. 

70
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,720
So yeah, the way we'll do it, 
there'll be a link in the in the

71
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,320
chat, in the description, you'll
click that, give me your name, 

72
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,000
location, question, we'll send 
you on to the call. 

73
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,400
By the way, put that up again. 
I love seeing that. 

74
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:35,480
Let's get so we got we got some 
calls here. 

75
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,080
Joe's up first Joe and long out 
the Joe. 

76
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,640
What's going on buddy? 
Welcome to unleashed. 

77
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,440
Wow, that sounds natural. 
That feels great. 

78
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,320
So I mean, you and I obviously 
do this every day for the if it 

79
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,880
seems a little convoluted, it's 
really not. 

80
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,640
And just to reiterate, Jay, you 
tell me if I got this right. 

81
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,280
Basically, we start the show 
every day. 

82
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,760
We've got the chat message, Jay 
Rod's going to put a little link

83
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,440
in there. 
You're going to pop in, you're 

84
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,320
going to click on that link, 
you're going to basically 

85
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,320
connect with Jay Rod, all that 
stuff, but he's going to put you

86
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,920
backstage, digitally backstage. 
And then when they're on with 

87
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,400
me, you'll see the name, you'll 
see where they're calling from, 

88
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,480
but you won't see them. 
You'll just hear their voice. 

89
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Right, exactly. 
So we're gonna do it audio only.

90
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:13,600
So audio only, That's the way 
we're gonna. 

91
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,880
Do it. 
You can shut your camera off. 

92
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,079
Or we could just do it where I 
just kind of have BT selected 

93
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:21,160
like that. 
So it's great. 

94
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,480
It'll be super easy. 
Super pumped. 

95
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,000
I mean, it's super pumped. 
That's gonna be fun. 

96
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,200
It's really just 22 clicks of a 
link and you're there. 

97
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,200
Bing boom all right at 2 clicks 
in the year 2026 should not be 

98
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,320
too hard. 
So I know that you guys going to

99
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,880
represent. 
I know that you guys going to 

100
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,120
bring it. 
Let's get into the show here. 

101
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,280
Of course, BT Unleashed as 
always brought to you by my

finds Sullivan online.

Find them at Premium Foods dot 
com or in your local grocery 

110
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,200
store. 
Now before we get into the show 

111
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,320
last night we had The Jets 
collective episode #4 which was 

112
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,040
phenomenal. 
Rich was dropping some really 

113
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,280
good Nuggets. 
Rich of course, long time the 

114
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:22,280
the longest tenured beat man for
anybody in the NFL and rich as 

115
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:23,360
it was, we talked about 
everything. 

116
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,600
So you guys going to want to go 
check it out. 

117
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,080
Myself and Rich Jake Asman like 
it, subscribe it. 

118
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,200
Give that the love that you've 
shown to unleash here. 

119
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,920
But what Rich reported is that 
The Jets interest in the and 

120
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,800
this was also earlier in the day
as well with Jeremiah had this 

121
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:40,400
and I think somebody else did, 
but definitely Jeremiah about 

122
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,040
Carnell Tate, maybe The Jets 
scooting into the top 10 to get 

123
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,040
him. 
Also, according to Rich, they 

124
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,520
love Jordan Tyson. 
They're looking for not exactly 

125
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,120
breaking news. 
This is fairly, you know, basic 

126
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,400
stuff, but when you hear the 
names it, it does add a little 

127
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,560
clarity here. 
Looking for an opposite, a wide 

128
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,560
receiver opposite Garrett Wilson
that's bigger, stronger, you 

129
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,200
know, just a, a just a, a 
different profile receiver. 

130
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,920
And that they may prefer this is
a little surprising to me. 

131
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,880
They may actually surprise they 
might they might favor Omar 

132
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,400
Cooper from Indiana over Makai 
Lemon and even potentially 

133
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:18,720
Cooper over Tyson. 
So that is coming 7 seven days 

134
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,880
away from the NFL draft and it's
going to be great. 

135
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,560
And I can see you guys are fired
up. 

136
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,600
I'm just checking this out here.
You guys have been asking for 

137
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,400
this with the call. 
So get the chats going J ride to

138
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,800
get something good. 
Pop it in. 

139
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:33,120
All right, Dexter Lawrence. 
So you know, I spent some time 

140
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,640
on this when it first first 
broke that he's obviously not 

141
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,880
happy with this contract now. 
Now, I get it. 

142
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,200
This is the name of the game and
I will never begrudge a player 

143
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,600
for chasing every punny petty, 
especially when you talking 

144
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,760
about the NFL, where they've got
the hammer and when you show an 

145
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,160
ounce of attrition or when a 
team's finances are out of whack

146
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,120
because they didn't do a good 
job of keeping the finances in 

147
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,680
order. 
Well, what do they do? 

148
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,080
Invariably they go to, you know,
6-7 guys in offseason. 

149
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,800
Hey, we've got to restructure. 
Hey, we've got to do this. 

150
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,680
So I got no problem with Dexter 
Lawrence wanting more money. 

151
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,240
Now, when he signed this 
contract, he was the 3rd highest

152
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,960
paid defensive interior 
defensive lineman. 

153
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,840
Now I believe he is 9. 
No, he's 11th. 

154
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,840
Yeah, he's now 11th. 
And by the way, that's probably 

155
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,520
commensurate with his play. 
So I think what's problematic 

156
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,840
here from Dexter's point of 
view, obviously being the 11th 

157
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,040
paid, the 11th highest paid 
defensive lineman is not good. 

158
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,920
That's not what he wants. 
But he doesn't have a whole lot 

159
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,400
of leverage. 
He was awful last year. 

160
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,160
He did nothing. 
I thought he was really out of 

161
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,760
shape. 
I didn't see a very motivated 

162
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,160
player. 
Now that does happen when you're

163
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,520
part of a losing culture for a 
while, you would have to think 

164
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,560
that John Harbaugh's arrival 
will energize guys like Dexter. 

165
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,400
But apparently you know it it I 
mean, it hasn't because he he 

166
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,120
asked for that trade going back 
to April 6th. 

167
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,880
What do I think is going to 
happen? 

168
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,040
There was a point where when 
this first broke, I said that I 

169
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,560
would trade Dexter Lawrence. 
I would myself, but I didn't 

170
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,680
think that that's the route that
the Giants would go. 

171
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:05,400
I'm going to stick with half of 
that scenario. 

172
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,000
I would still trade Dexter 
Lawrence, but now I think that 

173
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,120
they're actually going to and 
that's the right move. 

174
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,920
Now, obviously, you talk about 
trading partners. 

175
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,120
We've done this a lot with The 
Jets. 

176
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,240
I've been saying forever, hey, 
Jets, trade out of two, collect 

177
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,120
more capital, get a comparable 
player, you know, at 7:00 with 

178
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,400
the Commanders or the Saints at 
8 or Miami or Kansas City in 

179
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,440
that vicinity. 
But to make a trade, you got to 

180
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,480
have a willing dance partner. 
We obviously know that. 

181
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,360
So, you know, to me, there's a 
couple of the teams that could 

182
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,960
really use Dexter Lawrence, 
provided he's motivated and 

183
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,960
provided they've got the money 
and the appetite to grant him 

184
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,120
that, that extension that is 
obviously chasing. 

185
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,640
So I think the first call you 
make is the Ravens with the 

186
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,240
Costa, you start there. 
The Vikings need some help. 

187
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:47,880
The Bears. 
I think the Bears will be a 

188
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,640
great fit when you look at what 
they've run out there, where 

189
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,040
they are as a team, what they 
need, if Dexter is locked in, 

190
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,000
what he can do to change their 
bottom line. 

191
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,600
I think you call Robert Solomon 
the Tennessee Titans. 

192
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,280
I think you certainly call 
Kansas City. 

193
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,440
I think you call the Panthers. 
And I even think that you 

194
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,880
absolutely call the Packers. 
I wouldn't be surprised if the 

195
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,720
Packers call them because you 
think about where they are and 

196
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,240
you know, the the, the move that
they made for Parsons. 

197
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,080
Like to me, if you're going all 
in, go all in. 

198
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,000
Like don't half ass it. 
Don't go 70% of the way and go 

199
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,040
all the way in. 
And if you know, if you have 

200
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,960
back-to-back years, I know 
Parsons got hurt. 

201
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,640
But if you have back-to-back 
years where you're bringing in 

202
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,120
at different levels, even though
obviously Parsons could get 

203
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,840
after the quarterback, 
obviously, you know, but like in

204
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,480
theory and interior upfront 
guys, second level ish hybrid, 

205
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,520
first and second level Parsons, 
you know, with with their 

206
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,240
quarterback with the other 
weapons. 

207
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,640
Like if I'm the Green Bay 
Packers, that's one thing that 

208
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,520
I'm looking at here. 
So I don't, I don't know, I just

209
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,520
get the sense that, you know, 
Dexter Lawrence to me, man, I 

210
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,720
there's some guys who have a 
down season where I'm like, all 

211
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,640
right, there's no doubt there's 
circumstances. 

212
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,680
And I know we had the lingering 
injury from the year before. 

213
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:59,560
I want to be fair to Lawrence. 
He's been a terrific player. 

214
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,840
He's been a great giant. 
He's been a good leader, you 

215
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,960
know, But when you start to get 
to your late 20s and I start to 

216
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,080
see some visible, you know, 
warning signs that I don't like,

217
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,600
I'm not giving you an extension.
I'm just not. 

218
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,720
And I thought that what Joe 
Shane said basically told you 

219
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,280
everything that you needed to 
know about what the Giants line 

220
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,360
of thinking is right now. 
He's like, hey, you know, we 

221
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,200
love Dex. 
We like Dex, but he's got two 

222
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,960
years to go on his contract. 
So it is what it is pretty much.

223
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,440
And that's the way that it 
should be. 

224
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,120
Because to me, and I know it's a
little bit different in football

225
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,040
because there's so many moving 
pieces. 

226
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,040
I get it. 
But you know, if, if, if I can 

227
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,240
stink with you, well, then I 
could certainly stink without 

228
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,680
you while resetting my finances.
And also there's the possibility

229
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:45,120
that I can maybe not stink as 
much without you while also 

230
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,120
resetting my finances. 
So this isn't a commentary on 

231
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,160
Dexter Lawrence the player. 
You know, I believe it. 

232
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,160
I'm going into last year. 
Dexter Lawrence wasn't good. 

233
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,040
Dexter Lawrence was great. 
He was a game record. 

234
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,200
You know, he was it was 
everything that you want for a 

235
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,360
guy in the middle of the 
defensive line could push back, 

236
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,920
command the double stop the run,
crush the quarterback, just a 

237
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,960
massive space eater who was kind
of was quick twitch. 

238
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,640
You know, but things happen and 
you know, I'm sorry this this is

239
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,640
not the time to be squawking 
about a contract that, you know,

240
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,600
longer satisfied with. 
Now again, you could do it and 

241
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,280
I'm not even like again, I 
really like Dexter Lawrence. 

242
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,160
This is nothing you know, 
there's certain guys that we 

243
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,200
talk about and I don't mean on a
personal level, but like, but 

244
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,880
I'll give you the jazz Chism, 
right, I'll get to the Yankees. 

245
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:34,280
I mean what a lucky win last 
night. 

246
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,080
My God, the Mets look, the Mets 
look worse by the night, which 

247
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,120
is almost hard to do. 
So I'll get to some baseball, I 

248
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,160
promise you. 
But a guy like Jazz Chism, 

249
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,160
right? 
So to me, Jazz, it's, I'll 

250
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,560
actually like his personality. 
I think he's very affable. 

251
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:52,160
I think he's fun. 
I think he brings a little juice

252
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,200
to a usually corporate locker 
room, you know, a very 

253
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,640
corporate, very pinstripe suit, 
Brooks Brothers organization. 

254
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,240
And I think you need guys like 
that. 

255
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,080
But I think he's so broken 
fundamentally, I don't like him 

256
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,320
as a baseball player. 
So there's nothing that he can 

257
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,440
say that's going to change my 
opinion. 

258
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,120
And really there's nothing he 
could do because to me, he's 

259
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,480
already the player that he is 
and that he's going to be moving

260
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,600
forward. 
I want no porta jazz Chism 

261
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,920
moving forward. 
All right, So that that like 

262
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,000
that's one analysis. 
You know, you look at a guy like

263
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,200
Karl Anthony Towns, where I for 
most of the year, certainly 

264
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,720
going into the year and early in
the year, the bulk of the 

265
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,480
pressure that I was applying to 
the Knicks was directed at CAT. 

266
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,720
And then I step back and I'm 
like, am I really being fair 

267
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,920
about this? 
Because it's per, you know, per 

268
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,920
36 per 48 numbers were good and 
there was enough statistical 

269
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,480
evidence where whether it was 
top 10 defensive efficiency for 

270
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,400
the Knicks and obviously a team 
that could score. 

271
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,560
I'm like, maybe I got to lay out
a little bit on CAT here. 

272
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,560
And then I started looking at 
the coach and then I started 

273
00:12:54,560 --> 00:12:56,360
looking at Jalen Brunson a 
little bit. 

274
00:12:56,560 --> 00:12:59,640
And the rotation point is 
there's, there's different 

275
00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:05,200
evaluations and different 
reservations and energies and 

276
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,640
pushbacks for each player. 
My, the thing about Dexter is 

277
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,440
that I really do worry that he's
on the precipice of kind of 

278
00:13:15,560 --> 00:13:19,000
checking out a little bit, You 
know, even if he gets the new 

279
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,880
deal. 
I mean, think about this last 

280
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:22,800
year, he just didn't look 
motivated, did not look 

281
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,440
motivated. 
So if you're not motivated and 

282
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,160
you're not productive and you're
not in shape and you have a bad 

283
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,480
season. 
And by all statistical accounts,

284
00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:34,160
he had a miserable season. 
Carl Banks that a lot of, you 

285
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,120
know, a lot of history with 
Carl. 

286
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,880
I love Carl, but Carl Banks 
said, I don't know if it was on 

287
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:40,080
the pod, I think it was on. 
I think it was on. 

288
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,240
He wouldn't have said this 
during the game. 

289
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,400
It was on the podcast, I 
believe, right with Papa and he 

290
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,520
basically said nobody respects 
you anymore, Dex and not on a, 

291
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:50,040
you know, man to man level. 
But we don't really need to 

292
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,120
double team you that much 
because you're just not the game

293
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,360
record that you once were 
because you're huffing and 

294
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,120
puffing. 
You're probably 15 lbs 

295
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,520
overweight. 
You're out of shape and you're 

296
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,440
easier to play against and and 
easier to defend. 

297
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,400
And we can now work around you, 
not have to scheme against you. 

298
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,200
So you tell me, was that an 
outlier? 

299
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,160
Was that a one off? 
You know what, we've seen this a

300
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,600
lot in the NFL with a big body 
dudes, offensive lineman, 

301
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:20,920
interior defensive lineman. 
It's usually a a bad sign when 

302
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,880
they start to get to the late 
20s and they pat and they pack 

303
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,400
on that weight and the 
production drops massively, 

304
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,160
which it undeniably did. 
So the only way I wouldn't trade

305
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,600
him, and again, this is 
consistent with what I said back

306
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,600
on April 6th when we first 
learned that he was demanding a 

307
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,040
trade or requested a trade, 
right? 

308
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,880
I said I would trade him. 
I said I didn't think that the 

309
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,600
Giants would. 
Now, I would still trade him. 

310
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,600
I think that the Giants are 
going to proactively pursue to 

311
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,600
try to find the partner to do 
that. 

312
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,560
The only way I don't do it is if
John Horribaugh and I don't know

313
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,640
what he's thinking right now 
about Dexter Lawrence, all these

314
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,200
guys, I'm sure he's already put 
on the film. 

315
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,760
And if you put on the film, you 
can't be impressed with what you

316
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,200
saw a year ago. 
But John Horbaugh is also a 

317
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,520
great football mind and a hell 
of a coach. 

318
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,520
So he could probably separate. 
All right, Bad year, bad 

319
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,440
situation. 
Got a little lazy in the weight 

320
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,160
room, got a little sloppy with 
his technique, blah, blah, blah.

321
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,040
You know, I'll whip him into 
shape. 

322
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,960
He'll be ready to roll. 
He's going to be the ass that he

323
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,640
was back in 2024 and before that
very well might be what he's 

324
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,000
thinking. 
And if he is thinking that, then

325
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,120
I acquiesce to John Horribaugh. 
If John Horbaugh is on the 

326
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,040
fence, let me let me take take 
that back. 

327
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,640
If John Horbaugh is not standing
on a table or pounding a table 

328
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,680
with his first, I need this guy.
I believe in this guy. 

329
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,880
I want this guy. 
I don't want to move forward 

330
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,000
without this guy. 
If he is not saying that behind 

331
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,520
closed doors, I don't know if 
he's going to really say. 

332
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,440
It's a shame because what kind 
of juice does Shane have at this

333
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,720
point? 
But to like Mara or whomever 

334
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,240
he's got to say it to, if that's
not the very clear and direct 

335
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,880
message, then I'm trading him. 
The only way I'm keeping him is 

336
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,520
if horrible was like, I want him
and I need him. 

337
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,840
He stays cuz he's got the final 
say. 

338
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,880
That's why you bring him in. 
My gut tells me that he's not 

339
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,360
thinking that. 
My gut tells me that he's not 

340
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,600
feeling that. 
Because if he was thinking that 

341
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,600
and he was feeling that, I don't
think that Joe Shane would have 

342
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:22,080
said what he said the other day.
Nothing inflammatory, not a not 

343
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,720
a shot across the bow 
necessarily, not a diss, but 

344
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,040
just a very business 
presentation. 

345
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,920
Hey, he's got two years to we 
go, he's under contract, we're 

346
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,840
good. 
And when a GM says that, even if

347
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,400
it's a GM that's been stripped 
of a little juice, a little 

348
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,400
power, that's all I need to 
know. 

349
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,160
Like it doesn't have to be some 
hit piece because that would be 

350
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,960
counterproductive. 
But when you when you frame it 

351
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,240
the way that he did, I believe 
Dexter Lawrence will be traded 

352
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,880
and I believe he will be traded 
by draft night, either on draft 

353
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:55,120
night, the night before the 
draft, 7 days away, two days 

354
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,360
before the draft, whatever. 
I don't think that he would be 

355
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,800
dealt after the draft because at
that point, you know, you want 

356
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,680
to have the ability to obviously
try to fill the void if you 

357
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,920
trade him or in my mind when 
they trade him. 

358
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,720
So, you know, that's the skinny 
on decks, that's the skinny on 

359
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,079
Dexter, not Lawrence Taylor, You
know what I mean? 

360
00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:16,079
Not one of these guys that you 
can't, you can't live without. 

361
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,160
He has been a, he has been a 
disruptor. 

362
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,119
He has been a terrific giant who
just happens to have been, you 

363
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:28,119
know, the, the unlucky recipient
of, of being, you know, drafted 

364
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,600
and developed by the Giants when
they're at their lowest point 

365
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,040
since the 70s. 
Bad timing. 

366
00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:35,560
Not his fault. 
Last year was his fault. 

367
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:41,600
And to me, that's enough of a 
visible cautionary warning sign.

368
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,120
I'm not rolling the dice. 
I'm not going to double down and

369
00:17:46,120 --> 00:17:49,840
say, you know what? 
And again, at some point, 

370
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,800
Harbaugh might do that before 
it's before a trade is 

371
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,200
consummated. 
The Giants could be thinking 

372
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,720
what I just said. 
Harbaugh could be thinking what 

373
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,400
I just said. 
And then they could get, here's 

374
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,520
the other aspect to it. 
They could get trade offers and 

375
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:07,120
it's just 65 to $0.70 on the 
dollar and they're not doing it.

376
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:10,840
See, the problem is it's the 
timing is not good for anybody, 

377
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,640
all right, because the Giants 
are, even though I think they'll

378
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,360
be markedly improved this year 
and you know, eventually with 

379
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:19,080
horrible, you would think that 
they'll be in the upper echelon 

380
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,400
of the NFC. 
I love Jackson Dart, you know 

381
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,360
that you get Malik neighbors 
back to being Malik neighbors. 

382
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:27,960
You know, maybe you get somebody
like Caleb Bounds or Sunny 

383
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,400
Styles throw a little more 
defense out there. 

384
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,480
The old lines at least becoming 
competent, like the framework 

385
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,160
for the Giants no longer being a
doormat where every team just, 

386
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,680
you know, wipes their feet in 
the mud and the dirt and the 

387
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,880
grass and the hay right on the 
Giants face, which is what 

388
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,960
they've done forever. 
That's over. 

389
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,800
Like that's ending. 
The sun is coming out. 

390
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,760
It's peering through the clouds 
and the Giants are moving in the

391
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,240
right direction because they 
made a big bold move by getting 

392
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,200
horrible step one. 
All right. 

393
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:03,400
But you know, the, the, the 
prospects of doing anything big 

394
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,560
this year are nominal. 
They they're just they're not 

395
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,920
ready. 
I'm not saying they can't 

396
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,760
surprise and do like mess 
around, get a wild card like 

397
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,840
they did a couple of years ago. 
Brian Davis first year. 

398
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,320
But then when they got to the 
matchup with the Eagles right in

399
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,640
the divisional championship 
after they won in Minnesota, 

400
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,400
which was incredibly impressive.
That feels like five years ago. 

401
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,360
Actually, that feels like 10 
years ago at this point going in

402
00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:27,600
there, Daniel Jones running 
wild, beating the Vikings on the

403
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,760
road in a really tough venue. 
But it's, it's been a minute, 

404
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,880
you know, and the Giants, that 
was that was the outlier. 

405
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,720
And I remember saying a couple 
of times and actually 

406
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,840
documenting it on WFAN, because 
when I was growing up, you know,

407
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,160
the Giants were phenomenal. 
I mean, you had really the first

408
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:50,760
year I started watching football
a little bit after I started 

409
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,600
watching big baseball is the 
first thing I watched. 

410
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,200
You know, Yanks on Pix with 
Scooter Mets on Channel 9 with 

411
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,640
Ralph Kiner, you know, this week
in baseball game of the week, 

412
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,640
all that stuff, right? 
Baseball cards, baseball 

413
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,200
stickers, playing baseball for 
me. 

414
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,840
Because I didn't really 
understand football. 

415
00:20:07,120 --> 00:20:10,240
I'm watching, I'm like, you 
know, the rules, the offense, 

416
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,120
the defense, all the penalties. 
I'm like, is a little harder 

417
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:15,680
than seeing ball hitting, ball, 
running, catching ball, throwing

418
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,760
ball, You know, maybe I'm just 
not that smart. 

419
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,920
But for me and I, I think that 
that's fairly common, unless 

420
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,040
you're like from a football 
football family, your dad 

421
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:27,240
played, your dad coaches, 
whatever football's confusing. 

422
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,360
So you know, in my, in my mind 
as a, as a 6-7 year old, I don't

423
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:33,040
know what the hell was going on 
in football. 

424
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,680
So when I really start to 
process it and watch it, 

425
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,400
Parcells was the coach and the 
best defensive player of all 

426
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,240
time in Lawrence Taylor. 
To me, it's, it's irrefutable. 

427
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:44,720
It's Lt. 
You had the great Phil Simms and

428
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,040
Hostetler won the second one. 
You had terrific old line. 

429
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,040
You had, you know, Carson Banks 
and he had all these stunts and 

430
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,600
the Giants were a platinum 
organization, much like the 

431
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,240
Yankees were before Brian 
Cashman forgot how to build the 

432
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,560
team, which is now going on. 
Oh, yeah, 1515 years or 

433
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,440
something like that. 
Whatever the heck it is. 

434
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,800
So the point is, like the 
Giants, when I was watching 

435
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,120
them, I had heard, you know, 
whether it's older people 

436
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:14,200
talking, oh, God, the Giants of 
the 70s. 

437
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,440
Oh my God, the Giants of the 
Yeah, of course, Passarchick, 

438
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,200
the fumble, you know, trying to 
end the game, Herm Edwards 

439
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:23,360
scooping it up like that's a 
snapshot of the 1970s New York 

440
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:26,600
Giants ineptitude. 
But the crazy thing is, and, and

441
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,240
again, I actually went through 
this several times the outside 

442
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,840
of couple of years ago, that 
wild card win, really the most 

443
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,360
recent run of, of 12/13/14 years
of Giants football is actually 

444
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:43,000
worse than the 1970s, if you 
could believe that. 

445
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,800
Now, if you're old enough to 
have lived it, you're probably 

446
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,840
saying, wow, I never thought of 
it that way, but now it's making

447
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:50,920
sense. 
And if you were too young and 

448
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,760
all you heard about was how 
wretched the 70s were, well, 

449
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,840
trust me, it was, it was on par,
if not a little bit worse. 

450
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,000
So the point is they have been 
in a dark space. 

451
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,480
You can lose with Dexter. 
You can win with the without 

452
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,760
Dexter. 
Like this notion that the Giants

453
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,080
can't exist without Dexter 
Lawrence is a fallacy. 

454
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,720
I, I I just don't want to hear 
it. 

455
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,000
I don't think it makes any 
sense. 

456
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,520
So I think it's going to be 
dealt. 

457
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,240
That is my take. 
That is my opinion, and that's 

458
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,280
it. 
I mean, yeah, he's a little bit 

459
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,800
underpaid. 
If he actually had a really good

460
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,240
season last year, what is he at 
22 and a half, $1,000,000? 

461
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,000
As I said, he's now 11th in the 
NFL. 

462
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,720
And again, he's got no leverage 
coming off a bad season at when 

463
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:33,240
you're out of shape and you have
a bad season, it now takes a 

464
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,840
complete leap of faith because 
there's fewer tangible things to

465
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,480
point to. 
It's a leap of faith where, All 

466
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,360
right, I've been around this guy
for, you know, 5-6 years. 

467
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,720
I know what his motor is. 
I know what his passion is for 

468
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:48,440
the game. 
I know what his intellect is. 

469
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,080
I know how he wants to be great.
Last year got away from us, last

470
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,720
year got away from him. 
But I've won with him. 

471
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,720
He's a trench guy, he's a 
Lieutenant, he's a guy, and he's

472
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,880
a dude in the locker room. 
I'm going to look the other way 

473
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,240
and we're going to keep them and
we're going to extend them. 

474
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,000
Like if Parcells was still here 
or if Tom Conflin was still here

475
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,000
and he was one of those guys, 
guys, if you will. 

476
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,880
Well, now you got some built in 
equity. 

477
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:16,320
He's got zero equity with 
Horrible who's not used to being

478
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,360
around a franchise with guys who
don't work hard and who got with

479
00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:24,200
guys who are not in shape. 
So if that's the case, you know,

480
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,400
I think it's a very simple 
decision for Horrible. 

481
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,560
Think about this, if you're 
horrible, you don't have 

482
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,040
pressure to win right away. 
It's not like Aaron Glenn this 

483
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,160
year who has no resume as a head
coach, unlike horrible who's a 

484
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,200
champion and wins 12 or 13 games
every year. 

485
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,800
So like Aaron Glenn, not that he
would have the final say, say on

486
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,280
draft night or free agent move. 
Hopefully they're working in 

487
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,800
concert, but I'm I'm not really 
sure. 

488
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,840
He and Muji, I think that they 
are, but I'm I can't prove that.

489
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,360
But if I'm Aaron Glenn, I'm 
doing whatever it takes to get 

490
00:23:55,360 --> 00:23:58,560
dudes in now that can squeeze me
out a couple of wins that could 

491
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,440
get me to Year 3. 
John Harbaugh certainly doesn't 

492
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,240
want to go 5 and 12, and he 
won't. 

493
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,960
But if he did, there would be no
repercussion because what you 

494
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,720
would be doing is you would be 
evaluating, cleaning out some of

495
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,520
the dead weight. 
And I'm not saying Dexter's dead

496
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,040
weight like some of the other 
guys. 

497
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,600
But when you're making over $22 
million and you're looking for 

498
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,880
2728 mil and I'm looking at the 
entire macro snapshot of a 

499
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,520
franchise that has been, you 
know, lost in the wilderness for

500
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,720
well over a decade, I'm not 
messing around and I'm not 

501
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,240
taking any chances. 
And I'm not granting you, you 

502
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,680
know, really the even the 
latitude to prove to me that 

503
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,840
last year was an anomaly. 
You could go prove it to 

504
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,320
somebody else. 
Like if the Titans or the Bears 

505
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,920
or the Packers or the Chiefs or 
the Ravens or the Vikings, they 

506
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,520
could use some inside help as 
well. 

507
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,600
They want to take it. 
They want to roll dice on go for

508
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,920
it, give them that 20, seven, 
$28 million deal. 

509
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,920
Make it commensurate with the 
the other two D tackles who are 

510
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,520
now in that neighborhood 
monetarily. 

511
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,240
And even though I think Dexter 
at his upside is better than 

512
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,000
the, I think Wilkins says, well,
who's the other one? 

513
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,360
And there's two guys making like
2728. 

514
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,520
That's where he wants to get to.
He's not getting up to north of 

515
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,240
30. 
So he's looking to get back into

516
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,240
really when he signed this 
contract, he was the third 

517
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,600
highest paid and that's where he
wants to get back to. 

518
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,720
I wouldn't do it. 
I would not do it, Jay. 

519
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,720
People pumped up about the calls
here. 

520
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,400
What do we got, everybody? 
Time. 

521
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,760
Yeah, I mean, absolutely. 
Let's see. 

522
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,120
I mean on the calls. 
Let's see what we've got. 

523
00:25:29,360 --> 00:25:32,320
Well, here's a good question 
from our our main man Avery 

524
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,880
Summit at J Rod. 
Will it be only calls and no 

525
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,760
more chat posts on the screen 
about what's the plan? 

526
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,600
I said, I mean I responded to 
him. 

527
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,000
I said absolutely not. 
We're doing it all. 

528
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,200
Yeah, of course, man. 
I mean, think about it this like

529
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,360
I remember hearing. 
I don't know if this is still 

530
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:54,000
true, but there was an old adage
in radio because I think 

531
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,120
sometimes maybe not so much 
anymore, but I think there was a

532
00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:59,840
point where a lot of hosts, and 
I was guilty of this as well, 

533
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:07,280
where I think too many hosts 
overstated the the callers 

534
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,600
meaning, you know, generally the
thought is that the callers 

535
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,680
represent about 1% of the 
listening audience. 

536
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:14,800
Yeah. 
I mean, think about how many 

537
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:18,000
times you've listened to sports 
radio and think about how many 

538
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,960
times you've actually called, 
right? 

539
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:21,640
Never. 
Not once. 

540
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,400
You're literally none, OK? 
They didn't not even once. 

541
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,480
So you couldn't even. 
Dude, I'm. 

542
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,080
I'm a little I'm a young man, 
like I feel like that's just not

543
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,800
listen, I'd have to ask some of 
my more like New York, you know,

544
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:36,640
raised friends if they ever 
called into the fan. 

545
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,320
I'm sure a couple of them have, 
but I don't know if it's as 

546
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,840
popular with my. 
Gen. 

547
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:43,680
And I think you're. 
Right. 

548
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,160
I think with the YouTube thing 
though, like it is, you know, 

549
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,240
it's probably a little more 
popular in terms of trying to 

550
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,200
get into like a chat sort of 
deal. 

551
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,920
But I think that that's true. 
I think it is for the most part 

552
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:54,800
age specific. 
Yeah. 

553
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Because if you are older, you 
know, your first default, if you

554
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,760
want to communicate with 
somebody had to write him a 

555
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,760
letter, sent up a telegram back 
in the day or pick up the phone 

556
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,760
and call him, you know, and you 
know, now it's like Bing, text 

557
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,840
Bing to Jeff, you know, whatever
you're going to send, whatever 

558
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,480
you do, you got, you know, the 
WhatsApp, I've got that as well.

559
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,560
So, yeah, you are predisposed to
communicate in that matter. 

560
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,640
So I, I would agree, you know, 
it's, it's obviously a bit of a 

561
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,880
stereotype, but I think it's an 
accurate one where the older 

562
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:25,000
generation would call. 
But even me, and I was a fan 

563
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,280
listener literally from day one 
in 87. 

564
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,480
I called the station twice. 
I called the station once in 

565
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,520
college up at Marist when I 
could barely get it along the 

566
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,160
Hudson. 
Although the reach is great, 

567
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,200
especially on 66. 
You could get that along on a 

568
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,960
clear night, almost the entire 
Eastern Seaboard, like Virginia,

569
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,600
Like you could really, I mean, 
oh, yeah, it's it's it's a 

570
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,960
blowtorch. 
But nobody wants to really hear 

571
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,280
the static of AM anymore. 
But the point is, I called up 

572
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,520
and Richard Near was talking 
about the Knicks. 

573
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,120
And I'm like, we, we got to, we 
got to get Chris Mullen. 

574
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,080
To the Knicks. 
We got to get Chris Mullen to 

575
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,040
the Knicks year and he's like, 
yeah, and he he basically just 

576
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,160
dismissed me immediately. 
I'm like, he's like, yeah, yeah,

577
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,800
Golden State's just going to get
the Knicks Chris Mullen, OK. 

578
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,720
And and then I hear click, I'm 
like, what? 

579
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,080
He didn't get to say anything. 
And then the other time I forgot

580
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,840
what I called about and it was 
Richard Near too. 

581
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,600
And I wasn't even a big Richard 
Near fan. 

582
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,480
I'm not dissing them. 
I don't want anybody to take 

583
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,880
that the wrong way. 
You know, rocking your radio 

584
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,320
legend and all that stuff. 
Not necessarily my style on the 

585
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,280
radio, but I did actually. 
I did. 

586
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,120
You know what I did like 
listening to Richard? 

587
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:35,280
This is when I was younger, 
single, pre kids, all that 

588
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:36,960
stuff. 
I told you when I lived in the 

589
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,040
city, I would go up and I would 
play at this golf course called 

590
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,120
New York Country Club quite a 
bit, which is right off the 

591
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,280
Palisades in New City. 
I think it's exit 11. 

592
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,920
And my old station, yeah, it's 
up there a little bit going 

593
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,280
towards like Bear Mountain, but 
not quite that north in that. 

594
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,640
Yeah, beautiful part of the of 
of the state, I think. 

595
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:59,360
And my old station, 1050 ESPN 
Radio had like a relationship 

596
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:00,720
with the course. 
I told you I'd bring all my 

597
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:02,040
buddies. 
I would just sign my name for 

598
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,080
like 700 bucks. 
And I said, you know, but I 

599
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,640
wouldn't pay a dime and I don't.
I just need friends, not even 

600
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,400
clients like my boys. 
And you know, with Dan, Rob, 

601
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,560
Maddie, Oh my God, Frank a 
couple of times and I remember 

602
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,520
finding one of the sales 
executives comes up and he's 

603
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,240
like, dude, how much golf are 
you playing? 

604
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,560
He's like, we had, we had 
$50,000 worth of, of, of trade. 

605
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,760
It's all gone. 
I'm like, you know, I'm so I 

606
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,200
don't, you know, it wasn't all 
me, right? 

607
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,720
But but the point is like I, it 
was a nice drive and I always 

608
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,360
enjoyed that drive where I'd 
have a cup of coffee. 

609
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,040
It would be early. 
I Upper West Side boom boom, 

610
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,920
right over the GW Bridge work my
way to the Palisades. 

611
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,520
And it was about a 2530 minute 
drive actually on the Palisades.

612
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,920
And I would and it was always on
Saturday mornings early. 

613
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,760
And I would enjoy listening to 
Richard on a Saturday morning, 

614
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,280
you know, because he's always, 
he's talking, he's talking music

615
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,240
too. 
But you know, Yankees, Mets, 

616
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,880
Yankees, Mets recap boom. 
And I wanted to hear that. 

617
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,440
But no, the, the two times I 
called it was him. 

618
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,640
I told you about the first time 
with Mulley and he hung up on 

619
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,640
me. 
The first time I was much 

620
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,040
younger. 
I was at my parents house and I 

621
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,080
remember I, I tried to like set 
up the, the tape recorder 

622
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,480
because I was so desperately 
trying to record my, my I. 

623
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,960
Don't even. 
Know if it worked I forget but 

624
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,160
he was talking about Nancy 
Lieberman. 

625
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,920
I think it this guy this who 
knows what year this was but 

626
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,400
late 80s maybe Nancy Lieberman 
either was trying to play 

627
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,320
professional basket. 
I actually, I think she did in a

628
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,080
men's league like the USBL or 
one of these defunct, long 

629
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,600
defunct minor league. 
So maybe the CBA, one of these 

630
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,240
minor league, like way before 
the G league and the D league 

631
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:44,400
and all that stuff. 
It was highly viable. 

632
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,200
And he was talking about that. 
I don't know if I called to talk

633
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,920
about that, but again, a fairly 
short conversation. 

634
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,240
So yeah. 
But I, I, I and I consumed it 

635
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,640
forever and I only called twice.
So I, and I also think that some

636
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,680
people just don't want to talk 
like they don't have that. 

637
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,400
I don't want to say personality,
but you know, that proclivity 

638
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,320
to, to communicate in that 
manner. 

639
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,480
They want to express themselves,
but it's, it's easier digitally 

640
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,200
or they text the show or 
whatever might be. 

641
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,760
So of course the chat is going 
to be you kidding me? 

642
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,800
I'm not going to get my super 
chats. 

643
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:20,600
Exactly, we need that shoot wait
till we figure out we how to do 

644
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,080
the Super chats with the calls. 
Is it going to be a way to do 

645
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,400
that or what? 
Definitely, there certainly is. 

646
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,880
How about ending all free for 
free? 

647
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,560
That's a long hack. 
Free. 

648
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:37,880
For frenetic Friday, yeah, with 
calls where we could ask BTA 

649
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,080
they hey, BT they could pick any
three people play round of 18. 

650
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,560
Who would they be? 
Yeah, well, I mean, listen, it's

651
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,560
it's a no rules Friday. 
So I mean, you guys could you 

652
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:46,840
guys could ask me anything you 
want. 

653
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,440
I mean, I'm not going to 
necessarily answer, I mean 

654
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,520
everything, but I'm pretty much 
an open book. 

655
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,840
You know, we're not we're not 
like dodging stuff. 

656
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,200
We're not, you know, you know, 
we're talking. 

657
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,320
We're going to have a 
conversation. 

658
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,480
Let's go. 
What do I think the Giants would

659
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,680
get for him? 
Brad Kaufman, 3582. 

660
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:03,960
Back to the Dexter Lawrence 
stuff. 

661
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,960
Well, that's why the timing is 
awful now. 

662
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,240
Going into last year, it wasn't 
as urgent for Dexter because, 

663
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,160
you know, there was guaranteed 
money. 

664
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,120
Now there's no guaranteed money.
Now he's dropped to the 11th 

665
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:18,960
highest paid interior defensive 
lineman. 

666
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,320
Like those things stack up. 
So I understand why he why he's 

667
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,880
doing what he's doing here. 
What would they get for him? 

668
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,320
Yeah, I mean, the window is it's
just not congruent with with him

669
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,080
playing well and being dominant.
Like if he was dominant like he 

670
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,960
was in 2024 and he dropped this 
Get Me Out of here trade 

671
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,760
request. 
Well, then you getting back 

672
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,680
what? 
You know what The Jets got back 

673
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,440
for Q? 
You getting the first from 

674
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:45,320
Dallas, you get the second. 
I know it seems like the Giants 

675
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:51,160
are are pretty much hell bent on
getting A1 and if they do get a 

676
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,360
one, it would obviously be I 
would think from 20 on, I I 

677
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,680
can't see anybody giving up 
anything before 20. 

678
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,080
And if they did, I would I would
think that that would be a bad 

679
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:04,720
move on that team's part, unless
it's a team like the Packers or 

680
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,520
like the bills, like a team 
that's truly on the precipice of

681
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,240
the championship and it's the 
final one that's different. 

682
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,760
But if it's like the Titans, 
they're not going to do that or 

683
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,200
even the Vikings. 
They wouldn't do that. 

684
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,440
To my point, because I threw 
them on the list as well. 

685
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,400
I think that they'll get, you 
know, latest first, maybe 2 

686
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,120
twos. 
I mean, I don't know what's more

687
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,800
valuable, one late one or two 
twos in, in successive years. 

688
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,040
I listen, I'll let them figure 
out the actual capital, but it's

689
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,680
not going to look like what The 
Jets got and it's certainly not 

690
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,120
going to look like what the the 
Dallas Cowboys got for for 

691
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,000
Parsons because he's not, he's 
not Parsons. 

692
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,440
You know what I mean? 
How about Marciano 1320? 

693
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,960
All right, going back, way back 
to when BT was on with Stephen A

694
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:53,280
on 10:50, I called in and I won 
courtside seats to the Knicks 

695
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,880
back when they had Crawford, 
Kurt Thomas, Timmy Thomas and 

696
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,960
Marbury. 
Was it on our show? 

697
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,880
I'm I'm guessing that it was. 
That would be my fault. 

698
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,160
Yeah, I think so. 
Awesome. 

699
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:03,160
Yeah, that was that was a rough 
year. 

700
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,040
That had to be the year when it 
was the whole Fugazi thing and 

701
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,920
the Nets absolutely smacked the 
Knicks in the playoffs. 

702
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,159
I think it was a three-game 
series. 

703
00:34:13,199 --> 00:34:20,280
Oh yeah, back in the day. 
O3O four, yeah, that was that 

704
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,120
was the squad, and it would. 
Have been it. 

705
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,880
That would have been the last in
May. 

706
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,560
I mean, I don't know if it's the
only time the Knicks and the 

707
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,840
Nets played each other in the 
playoffs, but it had to have 

708
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,080
been the last time, right? 
It's the last time, yeah. 

709
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,760
They're what I remember when I 
was in college and I was a 

710
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,800
little worried about this 
matchup. 90 Maybe you could look

711
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,800
this up. 
I don't think it was the 94 

712
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,400
season when they went to the 
finals and lost to the Rockets 

713
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:49,440
Hakeem in seven. 
I think it was 93 could have 

714
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:53,040
been 92. 
I'm going to say 92 or 93 And 

715
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:57,040
they had, you know, they I mean,
they they had Derek Coleman, 

716
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,680
that Kenny Anderson, they had 
some player, they had Drozen 

717
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:02,280
Petrovich. 
Like that was a team that word 

718
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,680
me a little bit. 
They had those funky tie dye 

719
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,280
Grateful Dead unis 1994. 
It was 94. 

720
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,640
It was 94. 
You're right. 

721
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:16,000
Let's. 
Wait 93949495. 9394 first the 

722
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,800
first round Knicks. 
It was definitely first. 

723
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:19,840
Round Yeah, Nick smacked them 
31. 

724
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,240
I know they beat Amici. 
Who's Charlotte? 

725
00:35:22,240 --> 00:35:26,000
Who'd they play after that? 
ABS, I think it was Charlotte. 

726
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,120
It doesn't. 
Let's see Knick's 94 playoff 

727
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,920
round. 
I think it was Charlotte and 

728
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,320
then. 
Remember 9394? 

729
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:35,520
Not 94. 
Yeah, yeah. 

730
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:41,320
Oh. 
Nets, Bulls, Pacers in 9394. 

731
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,360
What about go back to 90? 
Can you go 9293? 

732
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,440
Yeah, the early round, I think 
they played the Cavs, one of 

733
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,480
those the early it was always 
like the Heat, you know, a 

734
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,680
little later that the Pacers, 
the Bulls, but they matched up 

735
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,160
with the Cavs with like ELO and 
and Rod Harper. 

736
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:01,520
So I went to one of those games,
Brad Doherty, 91, whatever, it 

737
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,640
was out. 
Playoff finish. 

738
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,160
They lost in the Eastern 
Conference finals to the Bulls. 

739
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:12,760
Yeah, they played before that 
first round, Pacers, and the 

740
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:17,320
second round was the Hornets. 
It was the oh, that was. 

741
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:22,760
The 19293 It was against Larry 
Johnson, Grandma Yep, rookie 

742
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,080
Alonzo Mourning and Hugsie 
Boggs. 

743
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,560
Oh, man, that was that was I 
think, I think Dale Curry was on

744
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,840
that team too. 
Steph Curry's pops, not sure he 

745
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,440
was one of their snipers. 
I'll tell you the Hornets when 

746
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,360
the the just a little side when 
the Hornets were born. 

747
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:38,320
It's funny, certain teams 
especially like the starter 

748
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:42,000
jackets and like the hats like 
the Hornets. 

749
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:46,840
For whatever reason, people love
those turquoise satin jackets 

750
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,440
like they had the the Hornets. 
I even remember I had a pair of 

751
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,960
Hornet shorts because I love the
Rex Chapman, you know, a guy who

752
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:57,320
could jump, a guy who could 
shoot. 

753
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,440
And like the Hornet skier was 
way before your time was off the

754
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,320
charts. 
Like there was a point of view 

755
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,320
go even like the early rap 
videos. 

756
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,520
Obviously going to have West 
Coast, a lot of Raider stuff 

757
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,320
obviously, but you know, there 
was a lot of Hornet stuff. 

758
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,040
Oh yeah. 
Oh, big time. 

759
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,800
Because I, I feel like it had 
like a certain fresh flair to 

760
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,520
it. 
I don't know something about it.

761
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,440
Well, the other thing too, Jay 
Fresh flair for sure, but it was

762
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:25,600
also one of those first like 
lightish colors that popped. 

763
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,160
Like if you think Knicks like 
blue and orange, like Bulls red,

764
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,840
white, black, you know, you 
know, I don't know. 

765
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,120
It's just like the Spurs, black 
and Gray, the Lakers purple and 

766
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,840
Go Celtics, the the Hornets it 
was definitely and then some of 

767
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,200
the other expansion teams sort 
of messed around with those like

768
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,960
the Grizzlies. 
That's the weird colors, like 

769
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:48,000
the off colors, kind of like the
teals, the turquoise jerseys. 

770
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:49,040
What did I say? 
Turquoise. 

771
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,480
That that's what I meant. 
I meant teal. 

772
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,480
Absolutely like that there. 
You go, what do we got here? 

773
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,360
How about we got tree squirrel 
now? 

774
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:57,680
Let's be honest guys. 
Giants. 

775
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:01,400
Had the Giants D Had terrible 
coaching. 

776
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,120
Had terrible coaching Dex had 
three out of five years the best

777
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,040
player in that field. 
That position stopped letting 1 

778
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,880
semi decent year take away from 
who Dex is. 

779
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,240
You know what, that's fair. 
I can respect that. 

780
00:38:10,240 --> 00:38:12,400
I would expect more of you to 
stand up for Dexter Lawrence. 

781
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,200
I mean, he has been a great 
player, but that doesn't mean 

782
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,760
that where he is contractually 
where he aims to get 28 young 

783
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:25,120
but body tight. 
Some early signs now, some 

784
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,120
warning signs, some worrisome 
signs. 

785
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,640
While he could still be great 
and maybe he winds up being 

786
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,840
great elsewhere again, I think 
he's he's going to be dealt. 

787
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,880
It doesn't mean that his 
timeline matches up with where 

788
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:40,360
the Giants are. 
Like if you think the Giants are

789
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,840
going to win a Super Bowl this 
year or or be in the mix for 

790
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,360
one, you bring them back. 
If you think that next year's 

791
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,440
the massive, massive leap and 
maybe that's a little bit more 

792
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,160
plausible. 
All right, You know, we've seen 

793
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,160
quick turns in the NFL, 
especially if you have the 

794
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,720
quarterback. 
And you know, I love dart. 

795
00:38:54,720 --> 00:38:57,480
All right, Well, maybe that's 
more viable and and maybe that's

796
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,080
more ammunition, more reasoning 
to bring back Dexter Lawrence. 

797
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,760
But I would trade him. 
I would I would not run that 

798
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,280
risk. 
I would not roll that dice 

799
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,080
because if I'm wrong on that, 
it's it's a little bit too 

800
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:13,280
punitive for my blood. 
Omar under Score Yousef F92 

801
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,120
Can't wait to throw some 
tomatoes in some stores in the 

802
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,880
chat to rate calls. 
What is this? 

803
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,680
We can rate calls here, no? 
I mean, he doesn't say no. 

804
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,160
I think he's just saying once we
get callers on, you know, he 

805
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,600
can't, he he can't wait to start
throwing some emoji to to give 

806
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,440
his, his thoughts on him. 
OK. 

807
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,840
So I didn't know if that was 
like an official YouTube rating,

808
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,960
you know? 
No no needles stores. 

809
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,360
Funny for calls. 
Oh my God, we. 

810
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,320
You know, we totally could 
because now, so this is just a 

811
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,280
little call back to a previous 
this chat from a couple episodes

812
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,200
ago Stream Yard just added 
poles. 

813
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,160
To. 
Their site. 

814
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,760
So we're, you know, we're able 
to do that now. 

815
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,760
OK, I love it. 
Let me get the legend. 

816
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,120
Bobby Midnight BT Brandon think 
you're awesome. 

817
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,320
Thank you very much Appreciate 
that. 

818
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,720
Used to call on the fan when you
were when you were on there Bob 

819
00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:02,240
from Vermont. 
I do remember you, Bobby. 

820
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:04,200
Yeah, I remember you called 
quite a bit. 

821
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:08,080
I think one time it was about 
for some reason, Bob and you 

822
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,560
could, you know, parachute back 
in on, on the chat here. 

823
00:40:11,720 --> 00:40:14,200
I feel like you called me from a
baseball field once. 

824
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:18,760
I I oops, it's him calls. 
Let me shut that off. 

825
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,920
I don't know if you were, I 
think you were working outside. 

826
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,360
You were, you know, outdoorsman 
and you were either doing some 

827
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,920
work on the farm or a baseball, 
but I definitely remember you 

828
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:29,440
calling. 
We didn't get a ton of calls 

829
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:31,320
from Vermont, but I definitely 
remember that too. 

830
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,360
I appreciate that. 
Very nice. 

831
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,760
I want to get in a little 
baseball here as well. 

832
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,920
What else we got anything? 
I definitely. 

833
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,080
See a baseball chat right here. 
Hey, let me get this real quick.

834
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,320
It's funny. 
Trade them to The Jets. 

835
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:45,480
That'll show them. 
Bob Gable 2691 It's funny I 

836
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,000
brought that up and listen, we 
were doing The Jets collected 

837
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,200
that. 
I think this was episode #2 So 

838
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,880
yeah, last night was 4. 
Next week is obviously 5. 

839
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,200
We're doing it on Tuesday at 8. 
All right? 

840
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,280
So it's not going to be at 7:00 
on Tuesday. 

841
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:02,120
It's going to be at 8. 
And the second show, I remember 

842
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:05,080
throwing it out there, you know,
and, and not to be one of these 

843
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,560
guys that just throws nonsense 
out there, but more of a due 

844
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,000
diligence perspective. 
I'm like, hey, listen, because 

845
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,320
this was, I think it was the day
that Dexter Lawrence basically 

846
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,440
came out and said, I want to get
dealt. 

847
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,360
I'm like, hey, if you're The 
Jets, you make the call. 

848
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,200
Like, why don't you at least 
make a call? 

849
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:20,520
And you know, I didn't really 
think that they necessarily 

850
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:22,760
should or that they would, but, 
you know, just have a little 

851
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,440
conversation. 
We didn't give it a lot of time 

852
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,120
there. 
But no, I mean, what he's saying

853
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,600
is you trade them to The Jets to
show them how you know you want 

854
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,280
to get back at them, I guess for
wanting more money, which 

855
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,920
doesn't seem incredibly fair. 
Seems a little petty. 

856
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:35,800
You trade them to where you're 
going to get the best deal. 

857
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:41,360
BT seriously, why does but this 
is DVDJ BB2026. 

858
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:43,840
Why does Boone bench his best 
players? 

859
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,440
I I honestly, I have no idea. 
It's driving me nuts. 

860
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,600
It is like he's throwing some 
games away. 

861
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,360
How do you expect to win without
the best players? 

862
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:56,200
I'm not even sure right now that
they can win with their best 

863
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,520
players. 
That's the problem. 

864
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,240
I mean, really thinking on the 
night to night basis, how many 

865
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:04,360
above average hitters do the 
Yankees roll out? 

866
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,760
Judge, who's heating up another 
home run, Rice collar last night

867
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,400
but hitting 330, whatever he is 
and awesome. 

868
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,360
And you know, half the time 
Bellinger, that's it. 

869
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,880
I mean, you're rolling out 
basically 4 to 5 automatic outs.

870
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,480
Now I want to give Caballero 
some love. 

871
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,960
He's shown some some grits and 
stones, but and and it's going 

872
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,120
to be nice when he gets back to 
that super sub roll, you know. 

873
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,240
But the other night Rosario was 
batting third, Ben. 

874
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:31,440
And then the explanation by 
Boone is just something I don't 

875
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,840
get, you know, and I get behind 
a lot of the things that Boone 

876
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:38,480
does because I tend to I agree. 
I agree with a lot of things he 

877
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:43,320
does because I look at it from 
the big picture, you know, you 

878
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,640
know, from 30,000 miles above 
the land. 

879
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,760
And I'm like, all right, what? 
What else do you really want him

880
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,440
to do? 
There's just a dearth of 

881
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,560
options. 
But sit and Ben Rice should 

882
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,640
never be considered. 
I mean, it's ridiculous unless 

883
00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:00,280
he's in an over 29 funk with 17 
strikeouts and he just looks 

884
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,880
absolutely lost and you're going
up against school bull or 

885
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,600
Garrett Crochet or some other 
sick, nasty lefty. 

886
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:08,600
All right, hey, catch your 
breath, young man. 

887
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:11,320
We'll get you back out there 
tomorrow against the righty. 

888
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,120
I I don't have an answer for 
you. 

889
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,200
It's madding. 
I do think that, and this is not

890
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,240
an excuse, it's just to 
contextualize it. 

891
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,880
And again, I don't agree with 
it, but I think one of the 

892
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:27,160
things that the Yankees do do 
pretty well is that they have 

893
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:32,320
learned over the course of 162 
what they need to prioritize and

894
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,640
when they need to prioritize. 
It doesn't mean I like what they

895
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,520
do in the offseason. 
It's not, you know, doubling 

896
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,960
down and Co signing how they 
operate. 

897
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,760
It's the exact opposite. 
I don't like what they do in the

898
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:47,440
offseason and I don't like the 
way Cashman operates. 

899
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:50,640
So Brian Cashman has not earned 
the right to rebuild the Yankees

900
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:52,560
the way the Yankees need to be 
rebuilt. 

901
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:54,840
I got to put that on T-shirts. 
Maybe it's going to actually 

902
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,680
stick at some point. 
You know, you know how I feel 

903
00:43:57,680 --> 00:43:59,040
about Cashman in that regard, 
right? 

904
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,840
But when I say prioritize what's
really important and get a sense

905
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,360
what you have, and I'm talking 
about this yesterday I think it 

906
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,240
came up Jay. 
But the Yankees tend to do this 

907
00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:09,640
more than other teams the 1st 40
games. 

908
00:44:09,720 --> 00:44:13,440
All right, see what you have the
next 40 games kind of adjust and

909
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,840
then make the yeah, I mean 40 
games and again, you want to 

910
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,120
even say 50 we can go 50505050 
and then you split the 

911
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,960
difference on the final 12. 
So 1st 50 games, see what you 

912
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,720
got coming out of Tampa spring 
training next 50 understand what

913
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:29,520
you don't have, go out there and
get it and make the proper 

914
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,200
adjustment before the deadline 
and then those final two months 

915
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,400
after the deadline ish, go out 
there and you know go and take 

916
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,920
your big swing at winning a 
championship, which they haven't

917
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,440
done since 2009. 
I mean, they brought him what, 6

918
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:44,440
or seven guys at the deadline 
last year. 

919
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:46,840
They brought in Dovall, they 
brought in Bednar, they brought 

920
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,600
in Rosario, they brought in 
Caballero. 

921
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,720
I mean, and I know I'm missing 
one or two people picture from 

922
00:44:51,720 --> 00:44:55,080
the Rockies who got sent down 
like they made at least 6 

923
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,160
editions. 
And I got to be honest with you 

924
00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,880
because I was, that was the day 
that I was having run lunch with

925
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:04,080
Alex Rodriguez and these moves 
are happening and I was liking 

926
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,560
the moves and obviously Ryan 
McMahon was brought in and and 

927
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,320
so was he. 
I'm more so with the bullpen. 

928
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:13,080
And even though I did, I got 
admit I did want Ryan McMahon. 

929
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,120
I did want Ryan McMahon because,
you know, I knew he was a great 

930
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:18,840
fielder. 
I watched him a lot against the 

931
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,480
Mets, particularly early when he
was a better hitter than he is. 

932
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:22,800
I don't know what what he's 
become. 

933
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,520
That was terrible. 
You got a wait I got a question 

934
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,920
correct me if I'm wrong. 
Last night did he go for a bunt 

935
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,280
just so he could record like get
a hit? 

936
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,760
Was that two nights ago? 
When did he go for the bunt? 

937
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,000
I think it was two nights ago. 
I just saw that. 

938
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,360
I know Wells, Wells, Wells did 
that last night. 

939
00:45:39,240 --> 00:45:41,000
I thought it was 2 game two 
games ago. 

940
00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:46,160
When when Yeah, he absolutely. 
Well, to me, See, I think that 

941
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,200
that's unfair. 
Like if you're in, I mean, 

942
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,640
listen, I mean to just to pile 
on, to pile on. 

943
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,400
I I get it. 
I mean, you're a lefty with a 

944
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,240
314 fence, foot fence. 
Oh yeah. 

945
00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:58,640
I mean hit what over the fence? 
You know, 315. 

946
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,720
I mean, like, like some 12 year 
olds could do, 13 year olds 

947
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:04,440
could do. 
But when you are that lost and 

948
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:06,920
all you're doing is striking out
and they're inviting you to drop

949
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,400
down a bunt and it's there, all 
you got to do is just push it 

950
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,280
down the third baseline. 
I don't have a problem with 

951
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,040
that. 
I really don't just you know, 

952
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,480
because sometimes think about 
the old adage like a little 

953
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,240
bloop, a little base hit those 
sometimes it could be the most 

954
00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:23,160
innocuous base hit. 
It could be A5 hopper through 

955
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,400
the hole, right. 
It could be a broken bad 

956
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:26,640
bleeder. 
The other way. 

957
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,440
It could be doesn't have to be 
115 off the bat. 

958
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:33,080
It could be a little cheapy 
little swinging bunt and for 

959
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,600
whatever reason you get on base 
and things kind of click. 

960
00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:39,640
Much like I, I've said this a 
lot with mink doing the games, 

961
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,960
Saint John's where you know, 
whether it's like Zooby or one 

962
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,320
of their better players over the
years. 

963
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,000
Like if someone if somebody's 
having a rough night and they're

964
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,680
quiet in the first half and they
maybe they're old for five from 

965
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,360
the field and they get fouled 
right and they go to the strike,

966
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,640
there's that like the 
positivity. 

967
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:58,560
There's something real to be 
said. 

968
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,440
I can't quantify it, but I 
believe it. 

969
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,320
When you see a ball go through 
the net, even if it's on a foul 

970
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,760
shot, a lot of times there's 
carry over to a jump shot. 

971
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,280
You know, it just kind of clicks
you in a little. 

972
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:10,760
Bit so you just feel good. 
You do, you do. 

973
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,760
So I think it's a similar 
concept. 

974
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:13,880
I'm not going to go nuts on 
that. 

975
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,360
But yeah, I mean, he's pretty 
soon he's going to be he's going

976
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,720
to try to hit right-handed like 
I try to play golf Friday. 

977
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:21,400
That's the next step for Ryan 
McMahon. 

978
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,440
What up, MO Cage? 
How you doing, buddy? 

979
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,720
I appreciate that MO with the 
Super, super chat. 

980
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,880
MO is a consistent super chat 
guy. 

981
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,040
Thank you. 
Appreciate it man. 

982
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,800
And most of men here, some of 
the other guys going to jump in 

983
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,920
with that. 
I love him, but I would trade 

984
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,320
Dexter just so we can have a 
better chance of winning a ring.

985
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,760
Giants aren't there yet, not 
even in the next couple of 

986
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,880
years. 
All right, well, it's a it's a 

987
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,680
very nice sentiment. 
You can leave that up a little. 

988
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:44,840
Let his handle get some love 
there. 

989
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,000
That's an interesting take here.
I'd like to know how old you 

990
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,800
are. 
Like, do you, were you old 

991
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,640
enough to really enjoy the the 
last Giants Super Bowl? 

992
00:47:56,720 --> 00:48:00,080
That matters a little bit. 
How I process this it it's it's 

993
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,240
a nice thought. 
It's a bit of a strange 1 

994
00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:05,120
though. 
Like imagine, I don't know if 

995
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:08,040
it's quite akin to this, but 
imagine if me saying now the 

996
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,640
Yankees are they don't look good
this year, but the Yankees will 

997
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,480
be good. 
Like the Yankees are good. 

998
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,320
The Giants are not until proven 
otherwise. 

999
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:15,800
So it's not apples to apples, I 
get that. 

1000
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,960
But it would be like me saying, 
you know what? 

1001
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:20,480
I'll see Aaron Judge win a ring,
trade him to the Dodgers. 

1002
00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,080
Like I again, I know it's not 
it's not nearly the same, but 

1003
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,040
it's a loosely interpreted 
concept. 

1004
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,160
You know, that's one the other 
thing too, But that's that's 

1005
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:31,280
your opinion. 
I respect it. 

1006
00:48:31,720 --> 00:48:34,200
The only thing that I would 
really vehemently disagree with.

1007
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:37,800
I think you're putting too much 
of a timestamp on where two 

1008
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,720
definitively saying giants can't
win in a couple of years. 

1009
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:43,920
I mean, if Jackson Dart becomes 
what I I believe he's going to 

1010
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:48,320
become, you know, and then you 
look at the rest of the NFC. 

1011
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,920
Now this is I'll do it for I'll 
have a little fun with this. 

1012
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,760
All right, let's stretch things 
out in a couple of years, all 

1013
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,280
right? 
And first of all, he doesn't win

1014
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,120
now, and I think he's very good.
But what is DAC in two or three 

1015
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:03,120
years like, You don't really 
have to worry much about the 

1016
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:04,720
Cowboys. 
The Cowboys can't get out of 

1017
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:05,960
their own way. 
All right. 

1018
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,080
Is Jalen Hurts still an Eagle in
a couple of years? 

1019
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:12,520
And if he is, you tell me the 
Jackson Dark can't be a much 

1020
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,240
better throw over the football 
than Jalen Hurts. 

1021
00:49:14,240 --> 00:49:17,640
I think he is now already. 
You know, obviously the 

1022
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,240
Commanders, they got a young 
talented quarterback, but 

1023
00:49:20,240 --> 00:49:23,040
they've got they don't have a 
lot of draft picks. 

1024
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:25,320
I think their finances a little 
bit like they're trying to reset

1025
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,720
some stuff here. 
But the Commanders are 

1026
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,840
interesting, you know, do I 
think that like Sam Darnold, 

1027
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,200
even though he's a champion now,
do I think that Darnold has a 

1028
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,200
stranglehold on the NFC with the
seal? 

1029
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,880
No. 
You always got to respect the 

1030
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:40,920
Niners. 
But McCaffrey, Kittle, dudes 

1031
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,360
getting older. 
Brock Purdy's good, not 

1032
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,720
unbeatable. 
I'm just cherry picking. 

1033
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,960
Obviously, Lions are good. 
Lions are a good team. 

1034
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:52,080
You know, they took a step back 
last year. 

1035
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:53,920
Packers, I've got a lot of 
respect for them. 

1036
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,040
Yeah. 
I mean, but are you basically, 

1037
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:59,560
can you envision a situation 
where and if the answer is yes, 

1038
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:01,120
then that would contradict what 
you wrote, MO. 

1039
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:02,360
That's why I'm playing it out 
like this. 

1040
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:06,600
Can you envision a situation 
because I can in two to three 

1041
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,400
years where the Giants are among
the best teams in the NFCI. 

1042
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,200
Could I could. 
Now, I would still trade Dexter 

1043
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,400
Lawrence, but that does 
contradict what you said because

1044
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,320
you you basically don't think 
that that's possible. 

1045
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,960
And and I do because I think 
that, you know, you got to have 

1046
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:23,640
a really good draft or two for 
sure. 

1047
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,320
One more really awesome 
offensive lineman. 

1048
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:28,320
You got to shore up the third 
level defense. 

1049
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,240
I mean you have things you have 
to do clearly, but I don't know,

1050
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:34,560
close your eyes and just 
envision, you know, Jackson 

1051
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:38,920
Dart, he stays healthy, You 
know, knock on wood, Dart in two

1052
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,040
years, 7-8 more pounds of 
functional weight understands 

1053
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,520
the league better coaching, 
obviously the elite neighbors 

1054
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,880
fully back torn ACLA beast, a 
matchup nightmare. 

1055
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,920
I mean, you could start to see 
the giants ascending. 

1056
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:54,880
So I don't agree with that part,
but I got you. 

1057
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,080
I got you on the other stuff 
here. 

1058
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:58,840
How far do I think? 
What do I think the Knicks hawk 

1059
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,400
series going to go Anthony OU 
812. 

1060
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:03,320
Thank you. 
And we're going to do a lot of 

1061
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,800
NBA tomorrow. 
But I listen, I'll I'll give you

1062
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,920
the the answer there because I 
did address this the other day. 

1063
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,040
I think the Knicks lose 1 game 
in the series and I think the 

1064
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,080
Knicks win. 
When I say fairly easily, I 

1065
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:16,000
don't mean that every score is 
like 117 to 92. 

1066
00:51:16,240 --> 00:51:17,880
I don't. 
I don't mean that I think the 

1067
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:23,520
Knicks lose a game and I think 
that they've got 1 buzzer beater

1068
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,080
ish type game at the Garden that
they win. 

1069
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,000
Unlike Halliburton when that 
ball hits the moon and drops 

1070
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,200
down. 
I think it might be the opposite

1071
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,600
this year, but I I think the 
Knicks are winning 5. 

1072
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,200
I feel pretty good about that. 
I do like the new pick and roll 

1073
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:40,840
with Catton and Brunson OG or at
least the new dedication to 

1074
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:42,480
that. 
So it seems like they're tapping

1075
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,480
into a deeper level of offense 
here and we'll see. 

1076
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,880
And like now that you talk about
pressure points, this is it. 

1077
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,480
You know it Mike Brown that 
think about that. 

1078
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,160
I was reading something this 
morning and I got to do this 

1079
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,360
more tomorrow. 
But Tom Thibodeau was really 

1080
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,520
good, not great, really good and
a lot of respect for Tom 

1081
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:00,720
Thibodeau. 
All right, really good. 

1082
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:03,160
Well, principled coach who won, 
fired. 

1083
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,560
And I thought that it was time 
to move on, to be fair. 

1084
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:10,200
But good coach fired. 
The Knicks won, what, 53 games 

1085
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:11,600
this year? 
Yeah, because they could have 

1086
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,720
won 54 if they didn't sit guys 
against the Hornets. 

1087
00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:17,520
And that would have matched the 
record with Woodson, with Melo 

1088
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:21,400
and and Amore and and all those 
cats back in the the early 2010.

1089
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:25,760
So if they don't go far this 
year, Mike Brown's going to be 

1090
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:28,360
fired. 
Now, the only thing that I would

1091
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:32,320
worry about, and this is a 
deeper conversation for if and 

1092
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:33,880
when they lose. 
I don't want to just keep 

1093
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:36,360
putting this out there, but it's
an interesting thought and it's 

1094
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:40,360
it's a reality that worries me. 
If you go think of the Knicks, 

1095
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,040
even if they're not a 
championship team right now, the

1096
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,640
Knicks are bare minimum. 
They're a healthy team. 

1097
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,720
They're a healthy franchise. 
There's chemistry, even though 

1098
00:52:49,720 --> 00:52:53,600
that's been a little talk about 
this year, like maybe guys, 

1099
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,320
whatever, But in terms of 
organizational cohesion is a 

1100
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,040
better way to put it. 
Like, you know, I think that 

1101
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,400
Leon Rose has done a really good
job then Nick scouts seem to be 

1102
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,240
aligned. 
Dolan's been quiet. 

1103
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,320
All the other people in upper 
management, you know, no loose 

1104
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:13,840
lips, you know, no league 
stories, no drama, no nonsense, 

1105
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:18,880
Just 50 plus wins again, right? 
But if you now go back-to-back 

1106
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:23,640
years with 50 plus win coach for
a franchise that only did that a

1107
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:27,280
couple of times this entire 
century, and you whack not one 

1108
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:31,360
but two of those guys in 
back-to-back years, is it a fair

1109
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:36,640
fear all right, that the health 
of the organization would be 

1110
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:40,760
shifting back in the direction 
that none of us want any part 

1111
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:42,480
of? 
I don't know the answer to it. 

1112
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,960
I'm just throwing it out there. 
Interesting. 

1113
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:50,320
Let me get Sean B50D. 
Sean, what's up, buddy? 

1114
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:53,280
How you doing, man? 
Always felt the hordest jersey 

1115
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:54,720
embrace the 90s. 
Yeah, no doubt. 

1116
00:53:54,720 --> 00:53:55,640
Flair. 
Remember? 

1117
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,360
They look like the 90s. 
Jazz paper cup colors. 

1118
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:01,400
Purple, turquoise, white. 
Look. 

1119
00:54:01,400 --> 00:54:03,480
No, I remember them. 
I told you I had a pair of Rex 

1120
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,160
chat. 
Well, I didn't have Rex Chapman 

1121
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,040
shorts. 
I had a pair of Charlotte Hornet

1122
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,200
shorts because I loved Rex 
Chapman. 

1123
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,680
Love them. 
Speaking of shorts, J Rod, 

1124
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:14,240
you're gonna love this as a 
basketball guy. 

1125
00:54:14,240 --> 00:54:16,400
What an idiot. 
Classic. 

1126
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,000
I know. 
That's dope. 

1127
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:20,680
That's. 
Cups of all time. 

1128
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:22,280
Man, yeah. 
And then you had, you know, 

1129
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,800
Larry, Grandma, Mom with the 
converse and the commercial and 

1130
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,360
he and Zoe just couldn't figure 
it out, man. 

1131
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:28,840
They just, they just could not 
get along. 

1132
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:31,960
They were both they were young 
bucks fighting for the the power

1133
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,680
seat, you know, and the money, 
and once Alonzo got all that 

1134
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:38,360
money, obviously that was that 
was a big story out there, but 

1135
00:54:38,720 --> 00:54:41,720
they were fun to watch. 
Curry step's dad, as I 

1136
00:54:41,720 --> 00:54:48,560
mentioned, mugsy a good team. 
Speaking of shorts, right, so I 

1137
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,160
can't imagine. 
I can't imagine what I would say

1138
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:52,960
if my son did this. 
I'd be like, are you an idiot? 

1139
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,360
What's wrong with you? 
That's what I would and then I 

1140
00:54:55,360 --> 00:55:00,560
wouldn't let him wear them. 
So I I so quick Side Story. 

1141
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,000
I think you know this to an 
extent. 

1142
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,520
Go to Xavier, make the 
basketball team as a freshman, 

1143
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:10,360
Good player, not great, right? 
But always in detention, always 

1144
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,080
miss practice. 
Didn't get to play that much 

1145
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,480
because I'd never was in 
practice. 

1146
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,280
And then next year they're like,
you got to figure it out, You're

1147
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,160
not on the team. 
And I'm like, and I was 

1148
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,880
heartbroken. 
So JVI was not on the team and I

1149
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,640
should have been. 
Again, not a star. 

1150
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,640
Absolutely should have been a 
four year basketball player and 

1151
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,240
it's one of my greatest regrets 
even to this day. 

1152
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:31,680
I talked to my dad about it. 
I'm like, man, it it it kills me

1153
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,040
that I messed up, but you got to
you got to own it right? 

1154
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:40,200
So, but I still wanted to play 
and I wound up playing in AI. 

1155
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:44,000
Forget the name of the league, 
you know, along Flatbush Ave. 

1156
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,600
right. 
I tell you, we were we were the 

1157
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,040
only white team in the league. 
We were the only white team in 

1158
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:52,320
the league and it was awesome. 
We go to, if you know, Brooklyn,

1159
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:56,400
we go to like, and we'd take the
buses or the trains as a, as a, 

1160
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,400
as a team, like we, I didn't 
have a car. 

1161
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,960
We would go, we'd play like 
Beverly Rd. 

1162
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,040
Newkirk Ave. 
Cortel you Rd. like along the Q 

1163
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:06,360
train. 
OK. 

1164
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,000
We, we, we, you know, Well, 
you're in Brooklyn now, so you 

1165
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,360
know what I'm talking. 
About, I know the Q train line, 

1166
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:12,440
yeah. 
Yeah, Yep, Yep, yeah. 

1167
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:16,640
Church Ave. right, Some of the 
Parkside Ave. and we'd roll into

1168
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,040
these gyms, you know, all white 
team and we didn't win the 

1169
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:20,840
league, but we were good. 
We were pretty competitive. 

1170
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:23,880
And this is around the time of 
the Fab 5. 

1171
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:29,040
Can you believe that? 
I had because our uniform was 

1172
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:31,320
blue. 
So I had AI, but I didn't like 

1173
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:32,640
the shorts. 
So I got a pair of Michigan 

1174
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,080
shorts and it's like Michigan 
basketball on the on the thigh. 

1175
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,680
And they were a little baggy. 
I had to have the baggy shorts. 

1176
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,320
Can you believe that? 
I actually took it to a sporting

1177
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:44,440
goods store and you know what I 
put on the back of the shorts 

1178
00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:49,720
basically No, no, like, you 
know, with the, with the iron 

1179
00:56:49,720 --> 00:56:51,440
like. 
That Oh yeah, the iron press. 

1180
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,840
Professionally, somebody did it 
for me. 

1181
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,200
Do you know what I put on the 
back of my shorts? 

1182
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:57,080
No. 
What? 

1183
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:01,040
Swish. 
I swear to God. 

1184
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:02,360
Do you? 
What the hell am I? 

1185
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:03,120
What was it? 
You. 

1186
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,600
Still have this by any chance? 
No, probably not dude, that 

1187
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:11,480
would be iconic. 
Who the hell do you think you 

1188
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,240
are? 
Was it on the waistband or the? 

1189
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:15,960
No, it was. 
It was on my ass. 

1190
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,280
You can see it because my jersey
was tucked in and I wanted 

1191
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,840
everybody to see something. 
Dude, that is what in the world 

1192
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:25,080
are you doing, bro? 
And, and, and now to a little 

1193
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:28,920
context there. 
The only reason I even thought 

1194
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:34,200
about doing that at that point, 
a lot of the college teams on 

1195
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,560
their practice shorts had 
defense or others. 

1196
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,440
Like it was a little thing for a
minute. 

1197
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,840
I didn't just out of nowhere 
say, you know, I I could shoot, 

1198
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:47,800
let me put swish on on my 
behind, you know, with A2 guard 

1199
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:49,040
on this team. 
What? 

1200
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:52,440
Dude, that is because I mean, to
me now, I think about it like 

1201
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:56,360
you would see something like 
that in like the women's section

1202
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,080
at like forever, you know? 
Oh. 

1203
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,800
Yeah, they have like juicy or 
the juicy stuff, right? 

1204
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,040
Exactly like they'd. 
Have some shorts this that is 

1205
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:04,120
too. 
Funny. 

1206
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,880
And it wasn't small letters, it 
was big gold. 

1207
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:10,800
Amazing gold. 
I bet I have a feeling shorts 

1208
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,400
like that go for a lot of money 
now because. 

1209
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,760
I wish I had what's. 
Very popular now are the old 

1210
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:21,640
school and one T-shirts where 
it's like really where it'll be 

1211
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:24,760
like the kind of stick figures 
and it'll be like your ankles 

1212
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,680
are going to prison or something
like that, like. 

1213
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,360
The N1 slogan. 
Yeah, with like the N1 slogan. 

1214
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,280
Those shirts go for like 7080. 
Are you serious now? 

1215
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:37,400
Yeah. 
I, I had, I remember, I remember

1216
00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:42,280
a couple times like early when 
N1 was becoming popular, one of 

1217
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,320
the coaches is when I was at 
ESPN Radio, 1 of the coaches 

1218
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:47,520
came in and we were just 
chatting whatever. 

1219
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,880
And he brought us and I think 
they had to deal with N1 and he 

1220
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:52,640
brought us like sneakers and 
some N1 gear got hooked up. 

1221
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:54,640
I was never a big N one guy, 
were you? 

1222
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,240
I mean no. 
No, no, because I feel like for 

1223
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:02,000
me at least growing up, N1 is 
more so listen not to say like 

1224
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,960
this, but like it was definitely
more. 

1225
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:06,840
It was definitely more, not even
necessarily cheaper, just more 

1226
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:10,280
so so like all right, it's at 
Walmart like in that one section

1227
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:12,280
with like the shacks and all 
that stuff. 

1228
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,640
Like I don't know if I was 
necessarily gravitating towards 

1229
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:16,920
that. 
I was not and like the 

1230
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:19,440
strawberries and all that stuff.
Exactly, Yeah. 

1231
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:21,680
Yeah, Didn't. 
I don't know if you'll remember 

1232
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:23,440
this. 
Didn't Othello Harrington come 

1233
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,040
out with a pair of sneakers back
in the day? 

1234
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:26,280
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

1235
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:28,760
And they were like 999. 
Can you check that out real 

1236
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:29,920
quick? 
I remember for a minute. 

1237
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:31,960
Not, No. 
Not Othello Harrington. 

1238
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,560
Hold on. 
Not Othello Harrington from 

1239
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:38,040
Georgetown. 
Joe McKee Noah had a pair with a

1240
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:43,280
man called Lecox Portif. 
Oh no, he those were old tennis 

1241
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:50,880
sneakers and his dad as a tennis
player, Yannick no, Lecox Portif

1242
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:55,160
was was a big deal. 
It was like he the Stan Smith's,

1243
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,600
you know, Oh no, that was a big 
deal in in tennis back in the 

1244
00:59:58,600 --> 01:00:02,600
like he on board, but like that 
Jimmy Connor's. 

1245
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:07,920
That whole McEnroe era. 
Oh yeah, Izod, who the hell was 

1246
01:00:07,960 --> 01:00:10,200
it? 
Who was the Harrington? 

1247
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:13,400
Wait, wait. 
Al Harrington. 

1248
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:16,160
Who Othello Harrington went to 
Georgetown? 

1249
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,320
No, Al. 
Al Harrington. 

1250
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,800
Can you check if Al Harrington 
had a pair of sneakers when he 

1251
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,360
was with the Knicks? 
I'm almost positive. 

1252
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:25,440
Protege. 
We did? 

1253
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:26,920
Yep. 
How much? 

1254
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:30,320
Al Harrington, 6 1/2. 
I mean, now they're only on 

1255
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:31,160
eBay. 
Yeah. 

1256
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:35,320
Wow they were cheap bucks. 84 
bucks on eBay for a pair? 

1257
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,160
That's not even a bad deal 
considering how like potentially

1258
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,800
rare they could be. 
I got a sneaker for you and 

1259
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,120
we're going to do A and J Rod, 
you're going to be a part of 

1260
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:46,200
this. 
I'm going to do some separate 

1261
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,800
content and yeah, I've done like
the Yankees all time lineup, the

1262
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,080
Mets all time lineup, the all 
time Biggies team. 

1263
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,400
So I haven't done that in a 
little bit. 

1264
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,800
I've been so busy with the show.
We're going to do some other 

1265
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,880
content, whether youth sports 
and you know, favorite wrestlers

1266
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:01,680
and and favorite bands. 
We'll have a little fun with 

1267
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,840
that. 
Not hour long presentations like

1268
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:05,400
10 little snippets, 10 minute 
snippets. 

1269
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:08,920
And I want you to to join him 
when I do the sneaker one. 

1270
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:12,560
I will give you a hint. 
I I know I brought it up a while

1271
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,880
ago. 
The Kangaroos The Kangaroos 

1272
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:19,120
Walter Payton used to wear 
kangaroo cleats because I 

1273
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:22,840
remember seeing a Walter Payton 
kangaroo poster at sneaker 

1274
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:25,920
corner on on a no on Avenue H 
Ave. 

1275
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,680
Y whatever it was right in 
Brooklyn back in the day and I'm

1276
01:01:29,680 --> 01:01:31,840
not I didn't have the cleat, but
then they came out with a 

1277
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:33,320
kangaroo basketball. 
They're so. 

1278
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,280
Cool dude. 
Wow, these are so cool. 

1279
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,280
No, but they are. 
I've never seen these before. 

1280
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:41,400
Dang, never. 
Not once. 

1281
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,360
I've never heard of Kangaroos. 
These what? 

1282
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,120
Color. 
Are you looking at the high 

1283
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:45,600
tops? 
What? 

1284
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,040
Color OK, I'm looking at the 
high top blue and red ones right

1285
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,200
now, but there's also like a 
cool like high Oh no, these are 

1286
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:53,400
like football cleats. 
Never. 

1287
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:55,320
Mind no, I didn't have. 
Those, yeah, I'm looking at like

1288
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,560
a blue and red one, but there's 
also like, it's almost like 

1289
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,440
denim. 
It's like a dark blue denim. 

1290
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:02,680
Oh, I don't remember. 
Those. 

1291
01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,640
That's interesting. 
Yeah, it's a little weird, but. 

1292
01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:08,560
The best part about those, the 
Kangaroos and I had the me and 

1293
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,520
my buddy Timmy were the only 
ones who really had the 

1294
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,480
Kangaroos. 
I remember this is that, you 

1295
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,000
know, you think about a 
kangaroo, you put the little 

1296
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,320
baby in the pouch, right? 
Obviously that's what the Mama 

1297
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:21,480
kangaroo does, right? 
So the kangaroo concept was the 

1298
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:26,440
tongue, like it was an elongated
tongue for the sneaker and on 

1299
01:02:26,440 --> 01:02:29,560
the of the side of the tongue 
that's basically facing the top 

1300
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,920
of your foot so people can't see
it was a little zipper so you 

1301
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,880
can put your key to get back 
into your house. 

1302
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:39,160
Yeah. 
And that's that's what I'm 

1303
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:39,840
thinking. 
Of. 

1304
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:42,120
Yeah. 
That's what I'm thinking of. 

1305
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:45,760
And you could put a dollar bill 
or some quarters and when the 

1306
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,560
ice cream guy comes, you can get
get a couple drinks. 

1307
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,080
That that's what we did. 
You laughing? 

1308
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:52,560
All right, now let me ask like 
that. 

1309
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:56,080
Did people use that they put a 
little Roach in it or a little 

1310
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:57,800
like? 
No like. 

1311
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,440
That's all I can think of, I 
mean. 

1312
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:04,960
A little paraphernalia. 
Similar concept where it was a 

1313
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:08,760
South Park collaboration. 
OK, the shoe was basically 

1314
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:13,280
designed as like the towel 
character from South Park, and 

1315
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:16,480
it had a pocket similarly in the
back of the tongue. 

1316
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,680
Are you serious? 
But they marketed it as like, 

1317
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:24,560
yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, 
exactly like the 420 sneaker. 

1318
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,520
The 420 happy 4 it's almost a 
almost happy 420 day. 

1319
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,200
Happy 4 day. 
No, that first of all, I was too

1320
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:34,480
young to even think about that 
#1 #2 it would have to be 1 tiny

1321
01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,040
ass little Roach because there 
was, I remember there not being 

1322
01:03:37,040 --> 01:03:38,600
although there was enough to fit
a key. 

1323
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,600
So. 
But as I remember the depth, the

1324
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:44,280
depth of the zipper wasn't in. 
But I was young. 

1325
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:45,640
I wouldn't you know, I wouldn't 
be messing around. 

1326
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:49,680
I think I had those when I was 
like 11 or 10 or maybe maybe 10.

1327
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:50,720
They were cool. 
They're. 

1328
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,480
Cool, no I'm I'm definitely 
going to check them out after 

1329
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,320
your couch. 
I tried to bring them back in O 

1330
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,000
5 and got clowned in the. 
Hood. 

1331
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:01,320
But I tried it. 
Yeah, yeah, we would get clowned

1332
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,480
a little bit because, you know, 
again, I I don't think anybody 

1333
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,800
else had them. 
Like me and Timmy had them and, 

1334
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,760
and I loved them. 
And like my buddy Dandy had like

1335
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,920
the Adidas forums, which were 
hot, you know, I, I never had 

1336
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:15,960
those. 
My buddy Pat had the Converse 

1337
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:20,040
star techs. 
Chad had like spot builds or 

1338
01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:23,040
Brooks. 
Yeah, it was all pretty diverse.

1339
01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:25,680
Now that I think I don't know 
what Jo, who's no longer with 

1340
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,120
us. 
Jonathan, rest in peace, man. 

1341
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,520
Jonathan was a big Adidas guy 
with the fat laces and the shell

1342
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,800
top, which I used to have the 
fat laces too, which my dad 

1343
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,720
hated. 
But I, you know, I rocked the 

1344
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,240
fat laces. 
Yeah, I don't know that any. 

1345
01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:41,600
I don't even know how popular 
the Kangaroos were. 

1346
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:45,440
I'm not saying it was like a, a 
nationwide phenomenon. 

1347
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:48,160
I, I, I don't even know if they 
were in every single store for 

1348
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:50,800
whatever reason. 
I like them and they were cool 

1349
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:52,880
And they, it's not like they 
were 20, Like it's not like they

1350
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:56,080
were 15 bucks, no. 
I'm finding a lot of cool used 

1351
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:59,680
ones though in still pretty good
condition, so honestly I might 

1352
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:00,920
pull. 
I might pull. 

1353
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:04,480
All right, here we go. 
Clr 8810. 

1354
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:05,960
What's going on? 
Appreciate that. 

1355
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,120
Thank you very much. 
My mom took me to Payless as a 

1356
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:11,720
kid and she bought me a pair of 
strawberries for 15 bucks. 

1357
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:16,400
Got cooked so bad at school, 
never wore them again. 

1358
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:18,840
Peer pressure. 
You let it get to you, man. 

1359
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:20,680
Here's the problem though. 
Hold on a SEC. 

1360
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,560
Now here's the oh, that's an 
interesting question. 

1361
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:23,760
I know. 
Leave that out. 

1362
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,520
Here's the problem with the with
getting cooked with the with the

1363
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,680
strawberries like it. 
I don't think it was so much 

1364
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:34,120
about the sneaker. 
It was really about like where 

1365
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:37,760
the Knicks were at that point 
and that Moreberry, rightfully, 

1366
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:44,800
rightly or wrongly, was kind of 
the source of the consternation 

1367
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:48,760
along with Isaiah for basically 
every Knick fan, you know. 

1368
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:52,720
So if Moreberry was dealing and 
he was a very talented player, 

1369
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,800
as we know, my God. 
But if he was like putting up 22

1370
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,520
and 8, like he generally did, 
but the Knicks were winning and 

1371
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,760
he had maybe he used to sulk a 
lot. 

1372
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,120
And then it got really bad at 
the end where they made him sit 

1373
01:06:03,120 --> 01:06:05,760
at the end of the bench and 
Larry and he, him and Larry 

1374
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,200
Brown. 
My God, it was awful. 

1375
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:09,680
But yeah, I, I never had the 
store. 

1376
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,200
I was way too old. 
I was certainly not buying 

1377
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:12,920
strawberries when I was 30 
something years. 

1378
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:19,240
Old. 
OK, at Notorious Ghido Dole 

1379
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:20,720
Dole. 
There you go. 

1380
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,520
At Notorious Dole 3. 
Thank you, Jay. 

1381
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:26,920
Rod, any advice for a 44 year 
old? 

1382
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,360
Look at his. 
Look at his avatar, too. 

1383
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,360
Michael Myers. 
So sick. 

1384
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:32,400
That guy used to scare the shit 
out of me. 

1385
01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:33,880
My. 
Yeah, that's a, that's a scare. 

1386
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,200
That's one of the, that's the 
one of the ones that like as a 

1387
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:39,240
kid, you go, oh, man, yeah, you 
get away from the TV. 

1388
01:06:39,320 --> 01:06:42,160
Yeah, like for whatever reason, 
you know, I know that Freddy 

1389
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,480
Krueger, when he would pop up 
and he'd give you that ominous, 

1390
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,280
like with the with the blades. 
Like, that was pretty freaky 

1391
01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:51,240
too. 
I always found that. 

1392
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:56,280
I'll answer this in a moment. 
For me, I always found that that

1393
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:59,800
like the the horror characters, 
that could be real. 

1394
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,600
Yeah, the scariest. 
Oh, but I mean, it must. 

1395
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,200
Well, I don't know. 
The ring definitely scared me 

1396
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:07,280
the most as a kid. 
But yeah, that was freaking 

1397
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:09,200
that. 
Other than that, you're 

1398
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,000
definitely right. 
Like the guys where it's like, 

1399
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,840
hey, it could happen. 
Yeah, like, let's, let's just 

1400
01:07:13,840 --> 01:07:16,480
call for what it is. 
I mean, Freddy Krueger being 

1401
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,760
burned to a crisp and coming out
with Razor Blitz. 

1402
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,760
It's not happening. 
You know, God forbid if you get 

1403
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:23,080
burned that that badly, you're 
not going to be walking around, 

1404
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,680
you know, obviously. 
But like, all right. 

1405
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,200
You're telling me that you can't
see somebody putting on that 

1406
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,560
mask and walking around town and
doing something? 

1407
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,160
Of course you can. 
And I was in. 

1408
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:37,480
What is that town up in? 
Oh, God, why am I forgetting the

1409
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:41,160
name of this town? 
The witches, the witches up 

1410
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:41,720
Salem. 
Salem. 

1411
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:43,160
Salem. 
Thank you. 

1412
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:47,520
Thank you. 
We went to Salem and it wasn't 

1413
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:50,360
even Halloween because we had 
gone to the Red Sox game that 

1414
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:54,040
weekend and it was, I think we 
had just gotten married or we 

1415
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,240
were engaged and no kids yet. 
It was myself and, and, and my 

1416
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:01,160
wife or my, my fiance, my in 
laws or future in laws, my 

1417
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:02,840
brother-in-law, future 
brother-in-law, whatever. 

1418
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:04,440
What? 
And we're walking around, you 

1419
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,560
know, go to lunch, have a nice 
time, go look at some stuff. 

1420
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,880
Go to the Red Sox game, middle 
of the day, we're in Salem. 

1421
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:13,080
And again, it's not Halloween. 
I matter of fact, I'll tell you 

1422
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:18,200
when it was. 
It was in April because I, that 

1423
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,640
just happened to coincide my 
last day at 10:50. 

1424
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,720
This trip was planned. 
So I was in a bad mood. 

1425
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:26,000
You know, my, of course, my, my 
wife was mad. 

1426
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:29,040
Like, well, let's go wake up. 
We're on vacation. 

1427
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,680
So and my last day at 10:50 
after about 10 years was in 

1428
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:34,399
April. 
So it was in April and we're 

1429
01:08:34,399 --> 01:08:43,160
walking around Salem and some 
dude wearing a Jason Boris mask 

1430
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:48,680
holding a machete is walking the
streets of Salem. 

1431
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,960
Wow. 
Yeah, that is freaky. 

1432
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,520
And I feel like we had bikes for
some reason. 

1433
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:59,040
We had or we maybe, maybe my, 
no, my nephew, the actor 

1434
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,800
Stranger Things Carson, great 
kid, great young man. 

1435
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,880
He I'm going to get him on the 
show at some point and talk 

1436
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,080
about stranger things and, and, 
and the dust and stuff. 

1437
01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:09,600
It's just, it's just I have to 
find when we're going to do it. 

1438
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,920
And he was, he starred in a 
movie that I had a little tiny 

1439
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:17,439
role in which great actor and A 
and a better young man, right. 

1440
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,000
So anyway, good ball player too 
and great family. 

1441
01:09:20,359 --> 01:09:22,240
So I think he was just born 
because I remember I thought it 

1442
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:23,359
was a bike. 
It was a stroller. 

1443
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:28,520
And I, I see this guy, we're 
sitting inside eating, and I see

1444
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:34,479
this dude pacing across the 
street with the Jason Boris mask

1445
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:39,399
and a machete. 
Fuck, is this guy doing, man? 

1446
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,880
And I'm just like, I look, I 
tell my father-in-law, I'm like,

1447
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,840
look at this guy. 
So we go outside and then we 

1448
01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,600
forgot about it. 
You know, it was broad daylight.

1449
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:49,920
I was like noon, we're having 
brunch. 

1450
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:55,760
And then two hours later, we, we
see him again at a different 

1451
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,400
location. 
And like we're walking this way 

1452
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:03,480
to the camera and he's walking 
toward us on the same side of 

1453
01:10:03,480 --> 01:10:06,480
the street. 
And I just this is an old school

1454
01:10:06,480 --> 01:10:07,920
thing. 
Not not that I ever had to do 

1455
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:09,680
this like really. 
But you know, God forbid, if you

1456
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,840
thought you might have to, you, 
you would take your keys and you

1457
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,560
would put your keys like it was.
It would almost be like. 

1458
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:18,120
A brass knuckle sort of thing, 
but it like, yeah, kind of like 

1459
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,080
a knife. 
Like, you know, Jesus. 

1460
01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:21,520
Talk about. 
Old school, like God forbid if 

1461
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:23,600
something's happening on the 
train and like there's real like

1462
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:26,600
back in the day, nobody has keys
like that anymore anyway, So but

1463
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:31,120
I spiked, I had a key in each in
each finger and, and I just 

1464
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:34,080
remember like we all kind of 
gravitated to the side and I 

1465
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,640
just, I just remember I had my 
hand like this. 

1466
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,560
And I will tell you as much as 
it sounds like, oh, you know, 

1467
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:41,640
Timmy, tough guy getting ready 
to throw down. 

1468
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:47,200
I was terrified, like my heart 
was beating so fast because I 

1469
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,760
know where we are and I 
understand, you know, the 

1470
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:50,800
traditions. 
I get it. 

1471
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,840
But you know, it's like a Comic 
Con or like it's a, you know, 

1472
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:55,960
you dress up superhero. 
I get it. 

1473
01:10:56,440 --> 01:11:00,160
But it was the freakiest 
encounter that I've ever had. 

1474
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,280
So anyway, I just saw that 
avatar and I just remember even 

1475
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:07,320
though speaking. 
Not Speaking of, but we got, I 

1476
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:10,200
don't know if it's that, I don't
know, intense it's. 

1477
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,480
All right. 
Richard Lovelady to the 

1478
01:11:13,480 --> 01:11:15,960
Nationals for cash 
consideration. 

1479
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:19,280
Richard Lovelady. 
He's, I mean, yeah. 

1480
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:21,840
He's sorry, but. 
Yeah, no, I listen. 

1481
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:22,720
All right? 
Listen. 

1482
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:24,120
Something happens, you drop it 
in. 

1483
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:27,200
He just can't be on the team. 
The jokes right themselves. 

1484
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,280
Number 1, he stinks. 
That the name is ridiculous. 

1485
01:11:29,280 --> 01:11:34,560
No, he's just all right. 
Did the Mets pay the Nationals 

1486
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:40,680
too or did the Nats pay him? 
So literally just a cash. 

1487
01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:41,920
I got you. 
Good job on that. 

1488
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:43,480
Jay at the sirens scared me 
actually. 

1489
01:11:43,480 --> 01:11:45,360
I hadn't heard it in a while and
I thought and then when I heard 

1490
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:46,720
I'm like who did Dexter Lawrence
get down? 

1491
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:49,640
All right. 
So any advice for a 44 year old 

1492
01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:51,000
lefty that wants to get into 
golf here? 

1493
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:55,320
Should I start at the range, 
switch to righty or lessons 

1494
01:11:55,320 --> 01:12:01,240
mandatory? 
Live in central New Jersey golf,

1495
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:03,000
the absolute bane of my 
existence. 

1496
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:07,760
I would say I'd like to know, 
are you athletic? 

1497
01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:09,680
You know, like that? 
Not that that really matters. 

1498
01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,840
You could be a slob and be a 
three handicap. 

1499
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:14,800
But just curious like any 
baseball background, any hockey 

1500
01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:16,440
background that's similar swing 
there. 

1501
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:20,320
And if I ask because if you if 
you played baseball and you were

1502
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:23,000
a lefty hitter like me, which is
the only reason I started 

1503
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:26,080
playing golf lefty, which has 
been a ridiculously sad journey,

1504
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:32,200
I would say, and without knowing
those specific answers, I would 

1505
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:37,520
say start around the green. 
And you know, this is actually 

1506
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:39,120
pretty common, but nobody does 
it. 

1507
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:41,560
And you've heard pros talk about
this. 

1508
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,640
Start even on the green. 
Learn how to roll the putt. 

1509
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:48,200
Get in the vicinity, right? 
You know, get to a point where 

1510
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:52,200
you know, on I don't mean a 
slope of 147 where you know, 

1511
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,560
where you just get your brains 
kicked in all day. 

1512
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:56,560
You know, a fairly benign 
course. 

1513
01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:01,240
And that's what you should start
at 1:18 one 15117, you know, 

1514
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:05,160
flat 360 yard par fours. 
Don't, don't kill yourself. 

1515
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:08,320
You know, 137 yard par threes, 
right? 

1516
01:13:09,440 --> 01:13:13,760
And by starting on the green and
it's going to seem boring. 

1517
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:14,800
I want, you want to hit the 
ball. 

1518
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:16,400
I get it. 
You want to feel that sensation 

1519
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:17,720
and you don't get that with 
putting. 

1520
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:22,240
But then you gradually work 
closer to the tee box and now 

1521
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:24,880
you have a little wedge in your 
hand and I mean literally a 

1522
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:27,640
little 5 foot chip. 
I'm not saying you're going to 

1523
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,200
open the club face and do a flop
shot like Phil Mickelson, but 

1524
01:13:30,440 --> 01:13:35,120
just learn how to get the ball 
in the vicinity of the hole with

1525
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,000
confidence where you're not 
sculling it and you're not 

1526
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,080
dribbling it or you're not 
whistling 1 sideways, which is 

1527
01:13:41,080 --> 01:13:42,640
going to happen to you anyway at
some point. 

1528
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:44,200
I promise you that. 
OK, how good you are. 

1529
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:48,400
But I, I think that that's, that
really is the biggest thing 

1530
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,360
like, and I'll tell you, you 
know, I don't want to talk about

1531
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,160
my golf game too much because 
it's not much to say. 

1532
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:56,600
But I really think at this 
point, if I was in A and it's 

1533
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,960
relative, a good putter and a 
good chipper, I don't know that 

1534
01:13:59,960 --> 01:14:02,840
I'd ever play like that's my 
salvation because I can go on 

1535
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:07,480
the tee and you know, I can hit 
one wherever the heck I'm going 

1536
01:14:07,480 --> 01:14:09,040
to hit 1. 
You pick a spot. 

1537
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,280
It could be that spot and then 
Lord knows what happens with the

1538
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:14,040
hybrid or the five iron, 
whatever. 

1539
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:17,400
But as I get in the vicinity, 
when I when I get even now with 

1540
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:20,600
righty with a, with a, you know,
like a gap wedge, I noticed I'm 

1541
01:14:20,600 --> 01:14:22,320
getting pretty good height and I
feel pretty good on that from 

1542
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,960
like those 7080 yard shots and 
those chips, you know, bump and 

1543
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:29,400
runs 30-40 yards in and then 
like 30 feet in, 40 feet in 

1544
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,360
terrible in the sand. 
That's a different game. 

1545
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:35,440
Leave the sand for a pro. 
But that's where you really lose

1546
01:14:35,440 --> 01:14:38,760
a lot of shots. 
You know, the hard thing is to 

1547
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:42,560
score. 
And yes, it's very challenging 

1548
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:45,040
for me to hit the ball the way I
want to hit regularly. 

1549
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:46,960
I've been frequently I just 
don't do it enough, right. 

1550
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:52,320
But the more challenging thing I
think for the average golfer is 

1551
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:55,760
to when you're around the green 
to get up and down and not going

1552
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,360
to get up and down right away. 
But like think about this, say 

1553
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:02,040
if you hit, say if you bomb, 
like a lot of golfers that just 

1554
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:04,920
are forget about the dribbles 
and the little whatever else you

1555
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:10,240
do, the worm burners say if you 
a lot of golfers have a tendency

1556
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:12,600
to slice, they don't finish 
whatever. 

1557
01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,280
They don't turn things over and 
they just kind of push it out 

1558
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:16,560
there. 
Maybe their alignment's a bit 

1559
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:18,280
off. 
So if you're a righty, you know,

1560
01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:20,640
maybe you put one in the trees 
or the other fairway, right, 

1561
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:24,360
kick it around under a tree, 
whistle it out all right now. 

1562
01:15:24,480 --> 01:15:26,480
But you can still hit the ball 
pretty far even if you're not a 

1563
01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:29,000
good golfer, right? 
And even if it's in the wrong 

1564
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,400
direction. 
But now if you're like 2530 

1565
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:34,920
yards away from the pin, that's 
where you waste all the shots. 

1566
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:38,680
And if you can get instead of 
taking, you know, two or three 

1567
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:41,520
chips to get on and then 3 or 4 
putts, think about how many 

1568
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,360
shots that is. 
If you could save a putt and a 

1569
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:48,280
chip, a a, a putt and a chip 
each hole. 

1570
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:50,280
I know that that's very 
ambitious. 

1571
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:53,480
But if you could think like 
that, and I mean you look at the

1572
01:15:53,480 --> 01:15:55,880
36, you know, 18 holes times 2 
is 36. 

1573
01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:59,560
That's 36 shots that are not 
going on your scorecard and 

1574
01:15:59,560 --> 01:16:03,440
snowman's and nines or dashes if
you pick up whatever it might 

1575
01:16:03,440 --> 01:16:05,480
be. 
So I would say to start with 

1576
01:16:05,480 --> 01:16:08,360
that you, you want to learn how 
to grip the club properly. 

1577
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:10,040
Yeah. 
And I would go to a pro. 

1578
01:16:10,120 --> 01:16:12,560
I would go to a pro. 
I, I, why not? 

1579
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:17,280
And and, you know, ask him, I 
mean, ask him if he agrees with 

1580
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,480
what I just said. 
But having played a lot of golf 

1581
01:16:20,480 --> 01:16:22,400
and a lot of bad golf, and 
having played with a lot of 

1582
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:26,400
players good and bad, I feel 
like around the green, I can't 

1583
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:29,120
tell you how many times I've 
played with guys, you know who, 

1584
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,960
who smash it and then like they 
chunk a chip and I got to hit 

1585
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:34,720
another one. 
Then they skull it. 

1586
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:37,600
Now they're off the green. 
Now they're short on their putt.

1587
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:40,960
Then they're long on their putt.
Like it's just it really, that's

1588
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:45,520
where you lose shots. 
Should have on Jazz as a kest on

1589
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:48,880
4/20 as an ode to his state of 
mind during the games. 

1590
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:50,560
I don't think Jazz is playing 
stoned. 

1591
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,040
I don't think he's playing 
stoned. 

1592
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:54,920
I mean, although who knows? 
I mean, you know, I don't even 

1593
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:56,480
want to. 
I take that back. 

1594
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:00,360
I think that like, forget about 
jazz. 

1595
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:05,960
Do I think that there are some 
some I know basketball players 

1596
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:09,280
do because. 
There's literally Lamello Ball. 

1597
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:11,520
He didn't even get in trouble. 
There was like a couple years 

1598
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,040
ago. 
There's a little controversy. 

1599
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,120
Oh yeah. 
Before the game, he posted on 

1600
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,360
his Instagram Story. 
Literally, I didn't see that. 

1601
01:17:18,360 --> 01:17:21,680
It was on his Instagram story, 
him smoking a blunt before the 

1602
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,880
playoff game. 
They won, they won the game. 

1603
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,760
It was crazy. 
Pathetic to see that joke. 

1604
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,440
It was crazy. 
The hell out. 

1605
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:31,440
I mean, that's just stupid stuff
right there, man. 

1606
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:33,000
Yeah, I don't know. 
I mean, I wouldn't. 

1607
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:34,800
I wouldn't be. 
You have to function at all. 

1608
01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:36,280
I don't know how you'd hit a 
baseball high. 

1609
01:17:36,840 --> 01:17:39,720
I don't know, I mean. 
Well, there's that famous game 

1610
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,600
that you know, I mean, there's 
10 million videos on it, like 

1611
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:44,720
the one where the guy pitched 
the pert. 

1612
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,120
What is a dove, Ella? 
What's? 

1613
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:51,040
Doc Elvis what is on Ellis Acid?
Doc Ellis, Yeah, when he's on 

1614
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:52,760
acid, he pitches the perfect 
game. 

1615
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:56,680
Yes, there's like that story. 
That was and I had heard that 

1616
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:58,360
story trickle down over the 
years. 

1617
01:17:58,680 --> 01:18:01,120
There was a documentary a while,
I think it was one of the 

1618
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,160
earlier Netflix docs. 
I really do. 

1619
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:07,400
It was great. 
And I guess he was at his, I 

1620
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:09,160
think he was married, but I 
think he was at his girlfriend's

1621
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:11,120
house, whatever the hell it was,
and he was on the Pirates. 

1622
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:14,640
And was he was he on the Pirates
when he threw it? 

1623
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:17,240
I think he was. 
Either way, he didn't know that 

1624
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,160
he was pitching. 
I guess he was on an all night 

1625
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:21,960
Bender on Yeah for the Pirates. 
Pirates, Right. 

1626
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:26,200
And he's reading the paper, 
somehow, reading the paper on 

1627
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:29,480
acid in the morning, and he's 
like, oh shit, I'm pitching 

1628
01:18:29,480 --> 01:18:32,240
today. 
So he gets to the stadium and he

1629
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:34,600
threw a no hitter on acid. 
Yeah. 

1630
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:36,600
God Almighty, that is. 
Just fun. 

1631
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:39,240
It's such a funny story. 
Wait, I want to see we have a 

1632
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:41,320
comment. 
I want to see if this is true. 

1633
01:18:43,440 --> 01:18:48,080
No, it is true. 
Well, I think I believe Tyron 

1634
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,200
Lue got fired. 
I'm not too sure. 

1635
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:53,360
OK. 
It looks like OK, it looks like 

1636
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,480
it's, it's like imminent. 
It's about to happen. 

1637
01:18:55,480 --> 01:18:56,400
Gotcha. 
All right. 

1638
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,320
Not a surprise. 
Yeah, definitely not a surprise.

1639
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,640
Let me get you a couple things 
from the baseball last night 

1640
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:07,760
here. 
So, I mean, one more loss and 

1641
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,800
the Mets have their longest 
streak since 2004. 

1642
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:13,400
The Mets have lost eight 
straight games. 

1643
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:17,160
They've got the second or third 
W worst record in baseball. 

1644
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:21,160
And they are, they just look 
impotent. 

1645
01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:24,400
They look lifeless. 
I thought last night Mendy was, 

1646
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:28,640
you know, transparently raw and 
like, oh, we got to start 

1647
01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,360
playing better this, you know, 
no excuses, No, well, did 

1648
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:33,240
nothing. 
We don't look good. 

1649
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,480
Another play by Lindor where 
you're like, dude, what are you 

1650
01:19:36,480 --> 01:19:39,000
thinking? 
It's a 3 hopper that's not hit 

1651
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:41,360
hard. 
You got to attack the baseball. 

1652
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:45,280
And you could tell that he knew 
that he messed up based on how 

1653
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:48,560
quickly he got rid of the ball. 
It wasn't like he mistimed it. 

1654
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:51,280
He misread it. 
And then he's like, oh shit, let

1655
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:53,240
me speed up. 
And Eddie and you know, I think 

1656
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:54,880
it was Hernandez beat him by 1/2
a step. 

1657
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,520
Another base running gaffe. 
Now, this was a little harder, 

1658
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:03,160
and this was Francisco Alvarez. 
Where Beatty hit a liner to left

1659
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,320
field and it was trapped and it 
was. 

1660
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,720
It was a tough play. 
See, here's the problem, though.

1661
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:09,800
That's why Alvarez's head wasn't
in the game. 

1662
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:13,760
If Alvarez. 
Here's the way that ball should 

1663
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:18,480
be played, all right, because 
you all you don't see him like 

1664
01:20:18,480 --> 01:20:20,360
off the Bay, at least the camera
angles that I saw. 

1665
01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:21,960
You don't see him like in 
between. 

1666
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:25,320
You just see the playing left 
field, the sprawling catch off 

1667
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:27,800
the hop. 
So obviously, you know, not not 

1668
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:31,440
caught cleanly throw to second 
base out because it's a force 

1669
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,920
right, because it was trapped. 
What you should see. 

1670
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:36,960
I don't have a that's a tough 
read. 

1671
01:20:37,040 --> 01:20:40,400
I'm going to be fair. 
But if your heads in the game, 

1672
01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,920
all right, what you should do is
be at least halfway to second 

1673
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,920
base. 
So if he does trap it, you can 

1674
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:50,240
jog to second base. 
And guess what, you're going to 

1675
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:54,880
be safe if he catches it, unless
Bellinger, you know, pulls like 

1676
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,040
we did, like he did a year ago 
when he banged out soda with 

1677
01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:00,800
first base, right, that play 
Yanks and Mets in the Subway 

1678
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:02,520
Series. 
That 6th row from left field, 

1679
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:04,720
you know, you're going to be 
able to retreat. 

1680
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:07,560
Even if you're not a, you know, 
a fast runner, you're going to 

1681
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:11,480
get back to first base. 
What you can't do is what he 

1682
01:21:11,480 --> 01:21:14,200
did. 
You can't be on the base looking

1683
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,400
around like what happened, what 
happened? 

1684
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:18,760
I don't know. 
You got a first base coach, 

1685
01:21:19,080 --> 01:21:22,080
you've got a third base coach, 
you've got multiple, multiple 

1686
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:23,600
umpires. 
Figure it out. 

1687
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:27,800
Open your eyes, open your ears 
and play the game with some 

1688
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:30,560
urgency. 
So, you know, will they scratch 

1689
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:34,320
out four or five hits again? 
I mean, it is, it is utterly 

1690
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,560
ridiculous. 
And then I, you know what, 

1691
01:21:36,560 --> 01:21:38,560
somebody who hasn't really 
gotten a lot of heat this year 

1692
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,960
and you know, why should he? 
He's a young player. 

1693
01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:43,560
Before last night, I think he 
was hitting third last or 

1694
01:21:43,560 --> 01:21:46,080
whatever it was. 
But he's not going to get 

1695
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:48,360
crushed. 
Brett Beatty, because he's not 

1696
01:21:48,480 --> 01:21:50,560
your Olindor profile or somebody
like that. 

1697
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:53,320
Brett Beatty doesn't have a walk
yet on the season. 

1698
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,120
He's the only player in Major 
League Baseball with the 

1699
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:59,360
requisite amount of bats yet to 
draw a walk. 

1700
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:03,080
I mean, you're talking about 
basic shit here with the Mets. 

1701
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:07,640
I mean, anytime there is a three
hopper now, it's a one hop 

1702
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:09,520
rocket. 
You don't have to move it all, 

1703
01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:11,960
all right? 
If it's obviously a little teeny

1704
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:15,160
tiny 7 or 8 hop, you know, 
dribbler, you got to come in, 

1705
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:18,640
attack it one hand bare handed 
and make the throw off off your 

1706
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,480
right foot. 
You know, going with your 

1707
01:22:20,480 --> 01:22:22,720
momentum towards the mound. 
The catcher, if you're a 

1708
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,680
shortstop, if there's a 2 
hopper, you can lay back. 

1709
01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:30,560
It's going to get to you if it's
a 3 hopper like I, I was 

1710
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:34,080
actually looking for this and I 
could not find it so that you 

1711
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:36,520
can't find everything because I 
was unless one of you watch one 

1712
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:38,280
of you guys will find it here 
before the end of the show. 

1713
01:22:38,600 --> 01:22:41,120
I did a pretty deep dive this 
morning because I know the 

1714
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,600
answer, but I just wanted to see
if there was a percentage or 

1715
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:48,880
some sort of, you know, 
quantifiable stat on the, the 

1716
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:53,840
amount of like the times or the 
percentage that shortstops don't

1717
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:57,640
attack 3 hoppers like I was. 
I was genuinely that curious 

1718
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:00,240
because I want to be fair. 
I want to be fair to all these 

1719
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:03,040
guys. 
But again, asleep at the wheel, 

1720
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:07,160
absolutely asleep. 
And then Lindor strikes out. 

1721
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:10,080
He smiles. 
Like, you know, I, it's just I, 

1722
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:13,560
I don't, I don't know, you know,
it's, it's, it's, it's getting 

1723
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,720
bad. 
And I'm not going to change my 

1724
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,680
tune from yesterday. 
Mets will not, I shouldn't say 

1725
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:20,520
they will not. 
They should make a managerial 

1726
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,040
move until you get Soto back, 
who's I guess going to start 

1727
01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:25,600
running soon. 
And you know, he's already been 

1728
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:28,640
out, but 8-9 it got, I think it 
was retroactive to April 4th. 

1729
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:31,240
So today's the 16th. 
You're talking 12 days. 

1730
01:23:31,480 --> 01:23:33,800
And he hasn't really started his
running progression yet. 

1731
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:37,120
So I don't think we see Soto for
another two weeks. 

1732
01:23:37,120 --> 01:23:40,560
And if it's anything more than 
that, even though he's won Soto,

1733
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,120
he's probably going to require a
game or two of the miners, like 

1734
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:45,040
a little rehab. 
Don't maybe, maybe you could 

1735
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:46,880
simulate stuff. 
I don't know, maybe he's so 

1736
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:47,800
good, maybe he doesn't need 
that. 

1737
01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:52,560
But I would like to see Mendoza 
have a chance to rectify this 

1738
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:56,760
with Juan Soto back in, in his 
customary, you know, 2-3 slot. 

1739
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,080
If you want to mix things up a 
little bit, put them three. 

1740
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:01,800
I, I, But this is just, this is 
unacceptable. 

1741
01:24:01,800 --> 01:24:05,280
I mean, this is, it is sloppy. 
It is uninspiring, and it's 

1742
01:24:05,280 --> 01:24:08,480
consistently sloppy and 
consistently uninspired. 

1743
01:24:08,480 --> 01:24:12,080
There's not a damn thing good 
about the Mets right now outside

1744
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:13,960
of starting pitching. 
Like, McClain was great. 

1745
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,280
Holmes was solid. 
He didn't even know if he'd make

1746
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:18,320
the start because he hurt his 
hamstring last game, remember, 

1747
01:24:18,440 --> 01:24:21,040
he had to come out. 
But I mean, whether it's 

1748
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:24,000
defense, Roberts been playing 
really good defense in center 

1749
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,480
field as well, but you know, his
average is plummeted. 

1750
01:24:26,480 --> 01:24:28,120
Bichette hasn't really done a 
damn thing. 

1751
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,840
Lindor's got one RBI. 
Bailey's been quiet. 

1752
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,920
Alvarez started out hot, Now 
he's cold against Simeon. 

1753
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:36,320
Looks washed. 
I don't know what to tell you 

1754
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:40,400
here, man, except that I think 
that I think that Mets fans 

1755
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:45,120
right now, I think that Mets 
fans absolutely hate this 

1756
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:47,920
version of the Mets. 
I think they can't in in Lord, 

1757
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:49,680
I'm talking majority, I mean all
of you. 

1758
01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:53,360
I think the majority of you 
can't stand David Stearns. 

1759
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,000
I believe that the majority of 
you no longer believe in 

1760
01:24:57,000 --> 01:24:59,240
Mendoza. 
And I believe maybe not the 

1761
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:01,680
majority of you, but I believe a
decent amount of you are. 

1762
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:05,040
And I don't even know if this is
fair, but I do believe a decent 

1763
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:06,960
amount of you are souring on the
owner. 

1764
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,640
I believe many of you, if not I,
I think an overwhelming 

1765
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:14,760
percentage of you are absolutely
done with Francisco Lindor. 

1766
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:19,560
And I said a year or two ago, go
Google it, go find it. 

1767
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:22,760
There's receipts. 
I said that Lindor is going to 

1768
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:28,640
eventually become the absolute 
lightning rod of frustration for

1769
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:30,680
the Mets. 
Ain't going to be Sodo. 

1770
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:34,200
He's bulletproof for now. 
Mendy will be long gone by that 

1771
01:25:34,200 --> 01:25:36,080
time. 
And if things keep going awry, 

1772
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:40,080
Sterns will be gone and, you 
know, all these Simeon will be 

1773
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,280
gone and Robert will be gone and
all these other dudes will be 

1774
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:45,280
gone. 
And there'll be one guy, unless 

1775
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,440
he's dealt or unless he wakes 
up. 

1776
01:25:47,440 --> 01:25:49,480
And the Mets, in turn, wake up 
and start playing better 

1777
01:25:49,480 --> 01:25:51,720
baseball. 
I mean, many of you already 

1778
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:54,240
turned on Lindor. 
You already have for a lot of 

1779
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:56,880
reasons. 
So the Mets are a train wreck. 

1780
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:00,240
There's no other way to put it. 
They look the Mets. 

1781
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:01,760
And I know that this is not the 
case. 

1782
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:04,760
I'm not trying to like, you 
know, I'm not trying to be that 

1783
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:07,040
guy. 
But I say this for effect, even 

1784
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:11,640
though I know it's not true. 
Like if you told me that the 

1785
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:14,360
Mets didn't go to Port Saint 
Lucie for a day. 

1786
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,520
They just showed up opening 
weekend and they started the 

1787
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,840
season. 
No BP, no infield outfield, no 

1788
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:23,320
base running drills. 
Maybe the pitchers got their 

1789
01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:25,320
side sessions in and their 
bullpens in, right? 

1790
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,160
Because they look pretty good. 
But from a positional 

1791
01:26:28,160 --> 01:26:35,240
perspective, the Mets, they're, 
I mean, they are, they're 

1792
01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:37,120
drowning. 
They are drowning. 

1793
01:26:37,720 --> 01:26:39,320
So that's the story with the 
Mets. 

1794
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:43,080
Oh, and one other thing, too. 
You know, I was excited. 

1795
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:46,320
I watched most of the game last 
night, fell asleep toward the 

1796
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:50,200
end. 
But I, you know, I didn't love 

1797
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:52,400
the broadcast last night. 
Odd. 

1798
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,880
Joe Buck, who I do like. 
And as a Yankee fan, I always 

1799
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:57,920
thought it was nuts. 
Like I thought it was 

1800
01:26:57,920 --> 01:26:59,760
ridiculous. 
Many of you got on like McCarver

1801
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:01,120
and Buck. 
Oh, they hate the Yankees. 

1802
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:03,760
I never felt that. 
Like I don't really lean into 

1803
01:27:03,760 --> 01:27:05,680
that stuff. 
The only thing that I'll react 

1804
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,120
to is is a bad broadcast. 
All right. 

1805
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:11,560
Not so much like they're they're
one sided or favoritism. 

1806
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:13,840
You think these guys give a shit
who wins? 

1807
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:17,920
I mean Bucks making millions 
upon millions upon millions, Ron

1808
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:21,840
Darling's incredibly well 
compensated SNY national level 

1809
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:25,120
or Hershiser and money coming up
the wazoo. 

1810
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:27,640
They don't. 
I mean, obviously Darling played

1811
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:30,160
for the Mets and Hershiser 
Dodgers, so you had that little 

1812
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:31,960
component there. 
Of course Ronnie wanted the Mets

1813
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:33,640
to win and or wanted the Dodgers
to win. 

1814
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,440
I don't have a problem with 
that, but I don't, I don't 

1815
01:27:36,440 --> 01:27:39,760
really lean into bias in 
broadcast, but I do acknowledge 

1816
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:41,440
what a broadcast stinks. 
I don't. 

1817
01:27:41,440 --> 01:27:43,080
Last night's broadcast was 
terrible. 

1818
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:46,720
I didn't think Buck was really 
good and I'm a big Darling fan. 

1819
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:48,800
Ronnie was the best of the 
three. 

1820
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:51,000
Or Hershiser. 
And it's funny because I 

1821
01:27:51,080 --> 01:27:57,000
interviewed Oral Hershiser at 
Fanatics Fest 2 years ago. 

1822
01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:59,840
We had him on set. 
Maybe he was even last year, I 

1823
01:27:59,840 --> 01:28:03,080
don't even know. 
But me and Sal, and he was 

1824
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:05,040
awesome, man. 
He was cool. 

1825
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:09,120
Obviously a great fertile mind. 
He's just too monotone. 

1826
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:10,440
Like I thought his voice was 
weak. 

1827
01:28:10,440 --> 01:28:13,160
I had an issue with the lack of 
projection. 

1828
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:15,480
I don't, I don't know. 
I think Ronnie's great. 

1829
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:17,680
And I think Buck is usually 
really good. 

1830
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:20,200
I don't need to hear that 
broadcast Team Eddie ever again.

1831
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:21,680
I did not think it was very good
at all. 

1832
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:23,720
Did not enjoy it. 
Put me to sleep. 

1833
01:28:23,840 --> 01:28:25,480
Actually. 
The legend. 

1834
01:28:25,480 --> 01:28:28,440
Bobby Midnight. 
What up there, Bobby Brandon. 

1835
01:28:28,440 --> 01:28:30,480
I called in waiting for my 
brother Mike. 

1836
01:28:30,480 --> 01:28:32,680
He was getting pizza Frost at 
Domino's. 

1837
01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:36,760
This is the dude talking about 
when you when he was he called 

1838
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:39,280
in. 
He was the guy from Vt and you 

1839
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,200
were asking if when he called 
was he at the baseball field? 

1840
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:43,920
OK, gotcha. 
Yeah, buddy, up in Vermont. 

1841
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:45,080
OK, there you go. 
I appreciate that. 

1842
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:47,000
Thank you for the confirmation 
there. 

1843
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:48,080
Thank you very much. 
Now. 

1844
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:49,840
Getting some pizza. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1845
01:28:50,160 --> 01:28:52,680
Go outside to get the papers. 
Get the papers, going outside to

1846
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:54,000
get the pizza. 
Get the pizza. 

1847
01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:58,400
Now the Yankees were obviously 
lucky last night because you had

1848
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:02,560
two, you know, 2 ball players at
the Major League level who did 

1849
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:05,920
not did not communicate properly
on a pop up and did not react 

1850
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:08,120
properly that was. 
Ridiculous, that thing just. 

1851
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:14,040
Wow, All right, So first of all,
you got a little lucky there, 

1852
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:21,840
there's no question. 
But I did I, I do think while 

1853
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:26,080
Rojas, that was a very 
aggressive send on Austin Wells.

1854
01:29:26,080 --> 01:29:30,240
And if Wells takes just a a 
little bit less of a of a direct

1855
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,760
route or maybe more not even 
maybe more specifically if that 

1856
01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,040
ball is not cut off and there's 
no way that ball should have 

1857
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:38,680
been cut off. 
That ball was in short left 

1858
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,000
center field. 
I mean, Mike Trout's got to put 

1859
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:42,640
that on A1 hop, not even one 
hop. 

1860
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:45,560
You got to throw that a dime to 
the catcher's belt, bang, boom 

1861
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:49,560
out out by 6 feet. 
I mean, that is a that's like to

1862
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:55,760
me, the equivalent would be like
a 6-7 or a six, eight NBA player

1863
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:59,040
trying to dunk a ball. 
It went when nobody's really, I 

1864
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:03,200
don't mean dunk on somebody, 
just dunk like that's simple. 

1865
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:07,200
I mean, it really was in short 
left center field and you came 

1866
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:10,360
up for why the hell are you 
relaying that the extra second 

1867
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:13,000
or two on the exchange, the 
catch, even though he's turned 

1868
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:17,200
proper to catch the throw safe. 
I mean, you got to throw that 

1869
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:18,360
straight through. 
Weird. 

1870
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:22,880
So they got a little lucky here,
but they also created some luck 

1871
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:25,480
and they capitalized on on the 
good fortune. 

1872
01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:28,680
Now listen, maybe the Yankees 
win a walk off on a three run 

1873
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:31,320
bomb, even if that pop up by 
Jazz is caught, I don't know. 

1874
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:33,160
Maybe the Yankees lose, I don't 
know. 

1875
01:30:33,160 --> 01:30:34,640
Yankees bullpens been pretty 
bad. 

1876
01:30:34,640 --> 01:30:37,040
So even though you're at home, 
you get the last, you know, 

1877
01:30:37,480 --> 01:30:39,920
ghost runner. 
All that stuff probably works 

1878
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,240
out favorably. 
Although last year the Yankees 

1879
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,120
numbers in extra innings was 
horrendous. 

1880
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,120
So I shouldn't really grant them
anything. 

1881
01:30:47,120 --> 01:30:49,240
They don't know what would 
happen, but they won the game. 

1882
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:53,200
And I'm very curious where this 
goes now because it's the kind 

1883
01:30:53,200 --> 01:30:58,280
of win, you know, whether it's 
the wild pitch earlier in the 

1884
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:01,480
series or, you know, with 
McMahon and, and, you know, 

1885
01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:05,320
Caballero coming home to to 
score or last night Caballero 

1886
01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:06,520
getting it. 
You're starting to at least see 

1887
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,560
a little bit of enthusiasm, a 
little bit of connectivity with 

1888
01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:11,520
the Yankees here. 
Judge now another home run. 

1889
01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:13,960
He's got 7. 
You need guys to start waking 

1890
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:15,520
up. 
Nothing they do over the next 

1891
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:16,720
month. 
I don't care what they do. 

1892
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:21,840
McMahon, Jazz, you know, I got 
to show Caballero respect. 

1893
01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:23,040
He's he's doing some good things
here. 

1894
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:26,240
But, you know, even Austin 
Wells, who had walked a couple 

1895
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:28,320
times, All right, great on base 
two or three times. 

1896
01:31:28,320 --> 01:31:29,800
Good start. 
It's about time. 

1897
01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:32,000
Like, I think that the Yankee 
issues at the bottom of the 

1898
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:34,200
order, they're not going to 
resolve themselves here. 

1899
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:36,920
Yankees have to get better. 
Yankees need to make changes. 

1900
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:41,000
Yankees got a hope that Volpe 
gets his act together, comes and

1901
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:44,200
plays short, caballeros a sub, 
figure out their base. 

1902
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:46,240
You know, Dominguez may be in 
left field. 

1903
01:31:46,440 --> 01:31:48,440
You want to catch Ben Wright. 
You want to put Bellinger at 

1904
01:31:48,440 --> 01:31:49,360
first base. 
You want to. 

1905
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:50,720
There's a lot of things you 
could do. 

1906
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:54,520
And even maybe down, down, down 
the road this year if he 

1907
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:58,160
continued, if he continues to 
crush AA and then he gets to 

1908
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:00,520
look at AAA. 
And you say organizationally, 

1909
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:03,640
all right, we're not viewing 
Lombard as a savior because 

1910
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:06,400
we're desperate. 
He's earned an elevation to the 

1911
01:32:06,400 --> 01:32:08,880
big league team there. 
There are several different 

1912
01:32:08,880 --> 01:32:11,520
iterations, not to mention the 
trade market, where the Yankees 

1913
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:13,280
could get better and they're 
going to have to get better. 

1914
01:32:13,560 --> 01:32:15,240
But at least you got to have a 
starting point. 

1915
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:17,160
You know, like, think about 
this. 

1916
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:19,760
The Yankees had lost five in a 
row, then they beat the Angels, 

1917
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:20,920
then they lost and they won the 
games. 

1918
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:24,440
They won two out of three. 
Like you get to a point in a 

1919
01:32:24,440 --> 01:32:27,720
season where I'm not looking for
style points on wins. 

1920
01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:29,920
You don't think the Mets fan 
will be pumped up right now if 

1921
01:32:29,920 --> 01:32:32,800
the Dodgers miscommunity 
miscommunity came in a pop up 

1922
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:37,080
and they had a double steal and 
and it worked out favorably and 

1923
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:38,720
they won the game. 
But you'd be like, all right, 

1924
01:32:38,800 --> 01:32:41,120
ugly stuff. 
But maybe this is going to be 

1925
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:43,320
the the launch point here. 
I don't know because there's 

1926
01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,800
still a lot of things about the 
Yankees that that worry me. 

1927
01:32:46,400 --> 01:32:51,320
But, you know, I the send by 
Rojas, I am a believer in 

1928
01:32:51,320 --> 01:32:54,800
putting stress on defenses. 
That's the kind of play if 

1929
01:32:54,800 --> 01:32:56,240
Wells. 
Now, if the Angels run that 

1930
01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:59,960
properly and there's no relay, 
if Wells, Wells is out by 5 feet

1931
01:32:59,960 --> 01:33:03,040
and Rojas is getting crushed, 
especially, you know, if the 

1932
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:06,880
Yankees lose the game crushed, 
but they won the game. 

1933
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:09,600
And you know, it's one of those 
things and it's a fine line. 

1934
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:13,600
It's like sometimes the wrong 
move can work out, but it's 

1935
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:17,440
still the wrong move. 
Sometimes the wrong move can 

1936
01:33:17,440 --> 01:33:21,560
work out and even though it's 
the wrong move, it could kind of

1937
01:33:21,560 --> 01:33:23,880
change the energy or the 
dynamics of the team. 

1938
01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:28,280
So it was clearly based on how 
many outs there were, where the 

1939
01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:31,280
ball was hit, who was, who's the
base runner in, in terms of 

1940
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:35,880
Wells on the go from first base,
all those things wrong, wrong, 

1941
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:37,800
wrong. 
What was right about it was that

1942
01:33:37,840 --> 01:33:41,400
he was safe and the Angels 
messed up and you put stress and

1943
01:33:41,400 --> 01:33:44,120
maybe that's a situation. 
Remember when Lindor got thrown 

1944
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:47,280
out at the plate against the 
Pirates on that Soto 11 thing 

1945
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:49,840
meant early in the year. 
One thing Mendoza said was that 

1946
01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:53,360
they knew going into that series
that it was their conviction as 

1947
01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:54,960
a team. 
Hey, we got to make them throw 

1948
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:57,400
the ball because if if they do, 
they're going to kick it around.

1949
01:33:57,600 --> 01:34:00,120
They're a little sloppy. 
And we've got to make them play 

1950
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:02,960
urgently because when they speed
up, that's when we're going to 

1951
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:04,520
capitalize. 
And maybe that's what the 

1952
01:34:04,520 --> 01:34:05,920
Yankees got. 
I mean, I'm not going to sit 

1953
01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:07,640
here and say I know the 
defensive metrics for the 

1954
01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:09,280
Angels. 
I don't. 

1955
01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:13,640
But if that was part of their 
scouting report and or or Boon 

1956
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:17,400
before the game said to his 
coaches, hey, we're we're 

1957
01:34:17,400 --> 01:34:19,160
aggressive tonight. 
Enough of this nonsense. 

1958
01:34:19,160 --> 01:34:22,280
We're going on everything. 
Let's go, let's wake up and 

1959
01:34:22,280 --> 01:34:23,760
let's try to jump start this 
thing. 

1960
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,920
I don't know what was said, but 
if that was said, kudos. 

1961
01:34:26,960 --> 01:34:29,400
There you go. 
Like you, you don't snap out of 

1962
01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:32,920
something by being passive. 
And there's no guarantee that 

1963
01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:36,760
this is, you know, I get a 
launch point to winning seven of

1964
01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:38,480
eight and the Yankees looking 
healthy. 

1965
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:41,480
And even if they do, I still 
think, as I said, there's things

1966
01:34:41,480 --> 01:34:44,840
that they got to fix. 
But I would much rather I'd much

1967
01:34:44,840 --> 01:34:47,000
rather be aggressive. 
I mean, I really would. 

1968
01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:50,160
I mean, my God, there's nothing 
worse than being conservative 

1969
01:34:50,160 --> 01:34:52,600
and losing. 
At least if I'm going to lose, I

1970
01:34:52,600 --> 01:34:55,160
got to go down swinging. 
You know, now if it's the 

1971
01:34:55,160 --> 01:35:00,320
playoffs, you know, if it's late
September, if it all right, it's

1972
01:35:00,360 --> 01:35:05,200
April run, go try to make a try 
to. 

1973
01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:07,280
Every team's different, even 
though a lot of these players 

1974
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:09,320
are the same from last year. 
I mean, basically the running 

1975
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:14,200
back Yankees, literally. 
But the identity of each team is

1976
01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:16,400
not always the same. 
And think about this like 

1977
01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:19,760
Caballero came in late in the 
season and you know, I've talked

1978
01:35:19,760 --> 01:35:21,000
to Boone about this like he 
loves him. 

1979
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:23,800
Like in the clubhouse, he's 
always like bouncing around and 

1980
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:26,600
he's a real gamer. 
The guys love him and and I'm 

1981
01:35:26,600 --> 01:35:29,000
sure that he was that way the 
moment he went into the Yankee 

1982
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:30,920
clubhouse. 
But you know when he was traded.

1983
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:33,840
But if you're Caballero, you 
know, you were on the team last 

1984
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:35,160
year. 
Now you kind of feel like you're

1985
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:39,080
one of the guys now you feel a 
little bit more accepted or a 

1986
01:35:39,080 --> 01:35:42,880
little bit more free to be you. 
You know, the Yankees generally 

1987
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:45,120
conservative. 
Maybe he's like, you know, and, 

1988
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:48,720
and guys like that, you want to 
let him eat, you want to let him

1989
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:50,560
run. 
Yeah, obviously Jazz is running 

1990
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:52,960
even though he's never on base. 
He's got 7 or 8 steals already. 

1991
01:35:53,280 --> 01:35:56,760
And Austin Wells is actually a 
good base runner and and decent,

1992
01:35:56,760 --> 01:36:00,480
decent quicks for for a catcher.
So you push the envelope. 

1993
01:36:00,480 --> 01:36:03,360
You got a little lucky here. 
But New York baseball still 

1994
01:36:03,360 --> 01:36:07,800
still very far from healthy. 
While this batting average still

1995
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:10,040
leaves Roof from improvement, 
Wells is doing really well with 

1996
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:11,560
taking walks and getting on 
base. 

1997
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:14,360
He's only got two more KS than 
walks. 

1998
01:36:14,360 --> 01:36:16,440
Yeah. 
I mean, listen, Austin Wells, 

1999
01:36:16,440 --> 01:36:21,400
thank you at Mestro Cards. 
Austin Wells, if I wrote down 

2000
01:36:21,400 --> 01:36:23,320
before the start of the season, 
hey, what do you think Austin 

2001
01:36:23,320 --> 01:36:25,760
Wells is going to do this year? 
I would write Now. 

2002
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:26,760
I'll tell you what I'd write 
down. 

2003
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:32,440
I would write down. 
I'm actually literally writing 

2004
01:36:32,440 --> 01:36:38,480
this down. 
I would write down and I would 

2005
01:36:38,480 --> 01:36:44,720
write down about, all right, I 
would write down 23 to 25 home 

2006
01:36:44,720 --> 01:36:48,320
runs. 
I would write down to 31 batting

2007
01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:50,440
average. 
And I would write down an OPS of

2008
01:36:50,440 --> 01:36:52,840
778. 
Like that's the neighborhood 

2009
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:55,000
that he's going to be in. 
And until there's visual 

2010
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:57,280
evidence that, you know, he's 
got better command at the strike

2011
01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:00,640
zone and he doesn't swing 
through fast balls or whatever, 

2012
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:03,800
like he has a pension to do, you
know, I'm not going to elevate 

2013
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:06,520
him off. 230-1231 is a little 
generous because he didn't hit 

2014
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:09,120
231 last year. 
But he's got power. 

2015
01:37:09,200 --> 01:37:11,880
And, you know, they do like 
pitching to him and that man, 

2016
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:13,280
even though with ABS it's 
different. 

2017
01:37:13,440 --> 01:37:15,480
Like the framing just doesn't 
matter as much. 

2018
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:18,680
You can frame all you want. 
If it's a challenge, it doesn't 

2019
01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:20,280
matter. 
But he's got pop. 

2020
01:37:20,320 --> 01:37:22,360
He's got life in his bats, in 
his bat. 

2021
01:37:22,360 --> 01:37:25,960
And, you know, he might just be 
one of these guys who like there

2022
01:37:25,960 --> 01:37:30,160
was a point I thought Austin 
Wells could be maybe, you know, 

2023
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:33,240
A5 or A6. 
You know, I, I don't see that, 

2024
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:36,000
you know, it's probably more 7 
hitter when it's all said and 

2025
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:38,360
done. 
Low batting average, good OPS, 

2026
01:37:38,360 --> 01:37:41,560
pretty good pop, you know, 
decent amount of walks there on 

2027
01:37:41,560 --> 01:37:44,640
base percentage. 
OK, not like low like Volpe, but

2028
01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:47,120
not incredibly high where you're
like, this guy's an on base 

2029
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:47,840
machine. 
He's OK. 

2030
01:37:47,840 --> 01:37:51,640
I mean, what do you he's OK. 
He's he's he's he's slightly 

2031
01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:53,400
above average Major League 
catcher. 

2032
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:56,720
You know, I mean, what that's 
that's the way I see him. 

2033
01:37:56,800 --> 01:37:59,160
What else, Jay, before we wrap 
it up there, buddy, Why? 

2034
01:37:59,160 --> 01:38:01,160
Hey, why don't you? 
All right, How about this BT 

2035
01:38:01,160 --> 01:38:03,880
Mike Trout is on fire. 
I'd love my son was asking me 

2036
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:05,920
about that again last night. 
Suddenly he's on this Mike Trout

2037
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:09,680
kick because we were in Melville
and and yeah, on Mike Trout's 

2038
01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:11,040
field where he hit a couple of 
home runs. 

2039
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:12,720
He was pumped. 
He's like, he's like, how many 

2040
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:14,080
home runs you think Trout hit 
here? 

2041
01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:16,440
I'm like, I don't know, probably
772. 

2042
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:19,680
I'm like, you got 770 to go Take
it easy. 

2043
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:22,880
But he's he's all on a on a 
Trout kick and he was watching 

2044
01:38:22,880 --> 01:38:26,200
him last night with me and he's 
like, he really, he really is 

2045
01:38:26,200 --> 01:38:28,720
still pretty good. 
I'm like, yeah, I'm like he just

2046
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:31,800
he's been banged up. 
I'm like the guys like a 235 LB 

2047
01:38:31,800 --> 01:38:33,680
running back. 
You know who could do it all? 

2048
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:37,400
You're seeing the the 
depreciated version of Mike 

2049
01:38:37,400 --> 01:38:39,920
Trout. 
But anyway, yeah, if they fall 

2050
01:38:39,920 --> 01:38:43,760
apart, which they usually do 
well, then I think it would be 

2051
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:46,640
in play to an extent. 
I like Mike Trout. 

2052
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:48,640
I've always respected Mike 
Trout. 

2053
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:50,800
He is a gamer. 
He's a low maintenance guy. 

2054
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:53,120
He's a great teammate. 
I remember Tori Hunter talking 

2055
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:55,960
about that pool hole. 
So massive respect for the young

2056
01:38:55,960 --> 01:38:58,040
man from Millville. 
All right, give us a quick 

2057
01:38:58,040 --> 01:38:59,440
update on the calls and then 
we're out. 

2058
01:38:59,440 --> 01:39:00,040
Go ahead. 
Yeah. 

2059
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:02,280
Let me just give you a quick run
through again. 

2060
01:39:02,440 --> 01:39:04,800
So tomorrow we're starting 
calls. 

2061
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:07,360
So excited, so pumped, cannot 
wait. 

2062
01:39:07,440 --> 01:39:10,920
Gonna be so much fun. 
And so the way we're going to do

2063
01:39:10,920 --> 01:39:15,160
it, just to reiterate, I'm going
to put a link in both the chat. 

2064
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:17,200
I'm going to have it pinned in 
the chat, so it's going to stay 

2065
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:20,360
at the top there and then I'm 
going to have it in the chat in 

2066
01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:23,280
the description as well. 
You'll click that link, you'll 

2067
01:39:23,280 --> 01:39:25,760
be in a backstage, then you're 
going to give me. 

2068
01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:28,600
So it's just going to be you and
me, whoever else is back there. 

2069
01:39:28,760 --> 01:39:31,440
All right? 
It's your name, your location, 

2070
01:39:31,480 --> 01:39:34,640
your question. 
Then I'm going to privately 

2071
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:36,520
message. 
So there's a private message 

2072
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:38,800
thing in Stream Yard. 
You'll see it. 

2073
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:42,040
It'll pop up like the message 
will pop up. 

2074
01:39:42,200 --> 01:39:44,680
We'll send. 
You the link to the next studio.

2075
01:39:44,720 --> 01:39:46,840
That's it. 
You'll come in here and then, 

2076
01:39:47,080 --> 01:39:49,720
you know, we'll say your name, 
we'll toss you into the call and

2077
01:39:49,760 --> 01:39:51,800
we'll do it. 
And then we start getting after 

2078
01:39:51,800 --> 01:39:55,320
AJ Rod. 
Now we store a little verbal 

2079
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:56,440
jousted Let's go, I. 
Can't wait. 

2080
01:39:56,680 --> 01:39:58,360
Cannot wait. 
All right man, I got to run. 

2081
01:39:58,360 --> 01:39:59,440
I got a couple of things to do 
today. 

2082
01:39:59,440 --> 01:40:01,120
Great job today, Jared. 
Awesome. 

2083
01:40:01,480 --> 01:40:02,960
Been working on that and trying 
to stream. 

2084
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:06,760
Line that process to get the 
calls in and I told you you know

2085
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:09,720
every day or every week or every
month we add a little bit more, 

2086
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:11,480
we refine things a little bit 
more. 

2087
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:13,680
We do a little bit more. 
This is going to be an Ave. 

2088
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:15,000
that's going to be great for the
show. 

2089
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:17,320
I can't wait. 
I'm so excited for this. 

2090
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:20,920
So awesome job J Rod appreciate

NFL draft, who knows what 

2094
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:32,720
happens with decks. 
Who knows if The Jets make a 

2095
01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:34,720
trade, but it is going to be 
awesome. 

2096
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:35,720
So I will catch you guys 
tomorrow. 

2097
01:40:35,720 --> 01:40:36,240
