1 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,760 This is unleashed can you hear me? 2 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,120 What's going on? Everybody BT unleashed in the 3 00:00:13,120 --> 00:00:15,880 house. So we will have the the news or 4 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,560 we will not have the news about Yanis being dealt today. 5 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,640 It's all the little hoops getting a little something on 6 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,440 Woody Johnson, that meddling, bumbling fool who still sadly 7 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,720 owns The Jets. And of course I got a little 8 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,720 baseball mug for you as well. All right, so I got to speed 9 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,960 through this a little bit, probably a little shorter than 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,000 usual. So they got something you want 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,400 to say something you want to get off your mind here, get the 12 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,320 comments going. J Rods going to pump them in 13 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,840 when they pop up. I've got to get out to St. 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,520 John's even earlier than usual today to tape the TV show. 15 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,920 So I don't want I really don't want to waste a lot of time. 16 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,240 All right, 3:00 today. We know that you know what, 17 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,440 we'll have finality here. And it's been a pretty, pretty 18 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,480 active trade deadline in terms of going on. 19 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:59,560 You know, now Kristaps Porzingis is now out in Golden State here. 20 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,000 Listen, this guy's this comes down to one thing, and I said 21 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,360 this a month ago and I said this two weeks ago and I said it 22 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,120 earlier this week. The Knicks, at least pertaining 23 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,840 to the Knicks. And then bigger broader picture 24 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,800 on Yanis as to whether or not I think he's going to get dealt. 25 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,520 The the easiest thing would have been, you know, if Yanis would 26 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,920 flex and behind closed doors, let me walk. 27 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,280 You know, I'm not happy. I want out. 28 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,520 Get Me Out of here and get me there. 29 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,520 Because one thing we know about the NBA, unlike any other sport, 30 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,320 if one of your stars has a has power play, they generally 31 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,600 acquiesce. Because if you have an unhappy, 32 00:01:35,960 --> 00:01:38,560 not that Giannis is unhappy, but I'm just saying the general 33 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,320 terms, if you have an unhappy NBA superstar, they can make 34 00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:46,240 life miserable for your team. It's not like football, it's not 35 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,320 like baseball. It's just a different dynamic 36 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,520 where, you know, you got the guy who consumes all the energy in 37 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,040 the room and, you know, in terms of taking the most amount of 38 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,440 shots, that guy, you know, whether it's a Harden, who I 39 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,560 mean, James Harden has this thing on rap when he does not 40 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,360 want to be somewhere, James Harden finds a way to get out 41 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,880 and basically tell his team, if you don't move me, we're going 42 00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,639 to have an issue. And that's why I don't think 43 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,240 Giannis is going to get dealt. I, I really don't because I 44 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,440 really thought based on what the Knicks do or, or maybe even more 45 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,000 specifically, do not have to satisfy potential trade with 46 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,440 Milwaukee. It would have been made easier 47 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,920 if Giannis was really pushing behind the scenes. 48 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:28,800 And he's just not that guy. And you got to respect him for 49 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,520 it. You know, he's not somebody who 50 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,200 is, you know, reaching for that juice card. 51 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,560 It's just not that guy. And and if he was, this will be 52 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,320 a whole help a lot easier for the New York Knicks. 53 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,040 It will be a lot easier for the Golden State Warriors. 54 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,200 It will be a lot easier for the Miami Heat, the Minnesota 55 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,480 Timberwolves, even the Cavaliers who thought to have some 56 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120 interest before they made the move that they made. 57 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,720 I mean, the bottom line is this here is I'm looking down at the, 58 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,640 you know, something I saw last night before the Warriors 59 00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:00,480 pivoted to, to KP, the Warriors had offered four and I guess 60 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,080 some other, you know, players now, 4 unprotected draft picks 61 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:09,360 after Steph Curry is done, which obviously is going to represent 62 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,840 a significant downturn in what the Warriors are. 63 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,760 Basically, when Steph Curry's done, the Warriors will be back 64 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,440 to what the Warriors were before Steph Curry, which is not very 65 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,200 relevant, not very good, and they will be finishing in the 66 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,920 top 10 lottery wise a lot. So, you know, I thought they 67 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:28,840 came with a pretty decent offer. I would still look at and the 68 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,200 Bucks weren't interested. I would still look at Miami and 69 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,640 Minnesota as those main teams, even though I don't think that 70 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,400 Giannis is going to be dealt. I don't. 71 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,680 But those are the teams that I think if anything can give, or 72 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,080 if any team could give the Bucks something to really think about 73 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,520 and motivate them to do something that we all know 74 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,560 Milwaukee doesn't want to do, that I think it's going to be 75 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,880 Miami or Minnesota. I have never really thought, I'm 76 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,000 not saying I didn't hope, but I never really thought with any 77 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,320 sort of true, sensible conviction that the Knicks would 78 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,360 be among the last one or two teams at that table in terms of, 79 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,720 you know, trying to put together a deal to satisfy the Bucks's 80 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,600 needs here and their demands. They just don't have it. 81 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,920 So when you don't, when you don't have a boatload of stuff 82 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,160 to give up to motivate somebody to trade their best player to 83 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,200 you, you better have a very disgruntled, publicly unhappy 84 00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:22,840 superstar who lets it be known that if you don't Get Me Out of 85 00:04:22,840 --> 00:04:25,360 here, your life is going to be made miserable. 86 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,640 And you know, that's that's not Giannis's MO and you got to 87 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,840 really respect that here. So he's not flexing. 88 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,800 I think he's going to stay. And I think that what, what this 89 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,000 does, this will open up much more of an appealing window 90 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,400 during the summer where more teams have more assets and you 91 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,120 can have more of a conversation where it's strung out and you're 92 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,360 not rushed under the the guidelines here of the NBA trade 93 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,800 deadline. So I think that the more 94 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,400 suitors, obviously the better deal you get. 95 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,560 I, I do think if Giannis is dealt today before threes and 96 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,720 which again, I don't think he will, but if he is, I think 97 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,320 you're getting $0.85 on the dollar. 98 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,400 I really, I don't think it's some incredible deal where we 99 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,080 sit back and say, wow, wow, what a really good job by the bucks. 100 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,520 Look what they were able to do. Look how they maximize the 101 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,680 return on their investment in Yanis. 102 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,120 They got this, they got that, they got this, this, this and 103 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,280 they got that. So they got three or four first 104 00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:20,920 round picks and they got 2 meaningful ascending young, very 105 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,000 interesting players. I don't think that that happens 106 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,240 today. I really don't. 107 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,280 I think the only way it happens, again, I won't be overly, overly 108 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,560 repetitive here, but the only way it happens is if Giannis has 109 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,440 a change of heart where there's a he knows it, his agents know, 110 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,480 hey, 3:00 PM Eastern. This is it. 111 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,600 There's nothing else to do. You're here the rest of the way. 112 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,280 And if you're here the rest of the way, you're obviously not 113 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:44,280 winning because the Bucks just don't have the horses to win 114 00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:46,040 even with a fully healthy, honest. 115 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,360 And he's got to get that calf right. 116 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,200 So I don't think that he's dealt. 117 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,000 And I never really thought that the Knicks would. 118 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,240 I hope again. I hope, but I just really never 119 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,960 thought the Knicks would have the the firepower to get it 120 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,880 done. So, you know, we got a couple of 121 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,640 hours. You never know teams who are 122 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,600 motivated. You got Pat Riley down there in 123 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,080 South Beach. You've got a Minnesota team that 124 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,040 really looks as if they want to make this happen. 125 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,600 I don't think it happens. And I'll be OK with that. 126 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,800 I'll be OK. What does that say? 127 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,680 Holy shit, BT's on time today. What do you mean BT's on? 128 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,440 When is BT ever late besides, like, more than a minute or two? 129 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:19,960 Huh? What are you talking about? 130 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,280 I mean you you make it seem like I'm waltzing here at ten O 9 and 131 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,520 come on 10 O1, maybe 10 O2. You know you got to make them 132 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,960 wait. You got to make the entrance by 133 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,720 the way, how how much fun was that with Sal yes, that was a 134 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,120 blast. You guys did a great job. 135 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,800 Comments were awesome views were off the charts. 136 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,960 The digital traction was muddy. So that was a lot of fun. 137 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,280 All right, last night's Knick game was awesome. 138 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,800 You know, I I can't I've come to this determination where I've 139 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,120 been all over cat. I'm not going to change my tune, 140 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,200 but I certainly don't want to be that guy who does not adjust or 141 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,520 alter his views when somebody's providing evidence to the 142 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,640 contrary of that view. And currently Anthony Towns is 143 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,840 is playing really well. You know, he really is another 144 00:07:03,840 --> 00:07:05,560 double double. Last night's four straight. 145 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:09,920 He's got 34 double double S leads the NBA, 12 rebound 146 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,520 tonight, leads the NBA. And yeah, I was talking about 147 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,800 this a little bit with Sal yesterday. 148 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,880 Now some of the defensive numbers, I don't want to go 149 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:16,880 nuts. Although last night, you know, 150 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,160 Denver's obviously good and that was a great game. 151 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,560 That was a great game. Brunson superstar Bridges was a 152 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,800 complete zero makes a big shot. Just a fun big game field to 153 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,760 Garden in February, which is great. 154 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,680 And the Knicks continue to continue to win and Knicks are 155 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,880 rolling right now. But what the Knicks have done 156 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,400 here and and I don't know the direct correlation to how this 157 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,640 has helped open up Coral Anthony Towns a little bit, but like the 158 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:42,920 Knicks previous, I'm going to hit you with some numbers in a 159 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,560 minute that you're going to find astounding comparing Tom 160 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,920 Thibodeau to Mike Brown. But what the Knicks were doing 161 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,520 is they were funneling everybody into the middle and it wasn't 162 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,640 really working out as much. They weren't defending the 163 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:54,880 three. They weren't defending the 164 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,440 paint, they weren't defending the rim. 165 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,120 They were getting sliced up. Their defense wasn't nearly as 166 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,520 good as it was with Tom Thibodeau. 167 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,080 So give credit to Mike Brown and obviously the defensive staff 168 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,400 for coming up with something that at least in a smallish, 169 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,040 it's not 2-3 games. It's 10, but in a smallish 170 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,320 sample has worked out very well against teams that are going 171 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,200 nowhere for the most part. But this new philosophy, now 172 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,800 we're going to push you to the baseline. 173 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,600 And I don't think it's an accident, not last night, the 174 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,920 game before that, that Jalen Brunson got the defensive player 175 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,640 of the game. And I love that the Knicks do 176 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:27,480 that. That's part of the Knicks 177 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,520 culture, which has not seemed as great this year as it was with 178 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,280 Tom Thibodeau, admittedly. But you know where they where 179 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,919 they got that. They got Timberland boots, they 180 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:38,640 got the construction hat. And you always see the team 181 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,559 photo after a game. And Jalen Brunson for the first 182 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,640 time all year, again, two games ago, got the defensive player of 183 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:46,080 the game. It's just a it's just a good 184 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,520 look. It shows you that he's just not 185 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,320 a guy who's looking to drop 30 or hunt shots, you know, chose 186 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,520 that. He's got at least some some 187 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,840 willingness to play defense and I think he tries like there's 188 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,440 some guys who are horrid defenders because they either 189 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:04,400 lack the intelligence or or they let they lack the requisite 190 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,200 physical attributes, sides, size and speed ratio, or they've got 191 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,480 the willingness to at least try to grind out to be competent 192 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,840 with Jalen Brunson. He's just not a great athlete 193 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,800 and he's just not very big. He's not very strong. 194 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,400 Now he takes charges and had a couple steals the other night, 195 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,880 Couple of charge. He leads the NBA charges, so 196 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,440 there's a willingness there. They say there's a want there. 197 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:29,440 There's also a recognition there to try to be in the right spot, 198 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,640 to try to do the right thing and not just, you know, play one end 199 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,200 of the floor. He's just not a good defensive 200 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,920 player. But I think it's good for 201 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,960 morale. I think it's good for vibes when 202 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,000 you know a guy who is clearly your best shot maker, your best 203 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,840 by far offensive player, one of the top players in the NBA, when 204 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,800 there's a willingness to, you know, do some gritty stuff, do 205 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,560 some stuff that you know, not all these scorers wanted. 206 00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:55,040 I mean, James Harden doesn't want to do this. 207 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,520 Like, that's a great example. James Harden was just dealt. 208 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:02,440 He's having a big game, 2525 at night, and what else did we 209 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,080 force his way out of a situation? 210 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,880 But James Harden's always been a guy who he's got a diversion to 211 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,920 defense. Nobody's got no interest, he's 212 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,440 got no aptitude and he's not an incredible athlete even when he 213 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,880 was younger. So it's good to see what this 214 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,920 Knicks team is becoming a little bit my issue. 215 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,520 And I don't think they're going to make a trade. 216 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:22,280 I don't think they're going to get Yanis. 217 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,240 I would now getting rid of Yabaselli opens up some things 218 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,080 financially. That's good that they found the 219 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,600 taker. That was obviously something 220 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,000 that was plaguing them and they were trying to work around. 221 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,440 It was a bad signing just didn't work out. 222 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,160 Now I will say this when Leon Rose signed him, I like the 223 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,920 signing. I liked him in Philly. 224 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,480 I liked him on the international circuit with with France could 225 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,480 shoot big body. He just he just never gotten rid 226 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,520 of man He he looked out of shape just didn't have any role on 227 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,040 this team. So I listen, if you make a 228 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,200 mistake, but you're able to correct it and pivot without 229 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,600 being penalized by taking back something that's undesirable, 230 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:01,000 I'm not going to crush you for it. 231 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,040 So Leon Rose has made some mistakes, and I started to 232 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,600 chronicle some of them yesterday. 233 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,280 That was my intention to start the show like the 1st 15 minutes 234 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,600 do that and then The Jets news broke with with Frank Reik is 235 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,760 the OC. So I really had to kind of speed 236 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,520 through it. But when you look at Leon Rose 237 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,240 in totality, restoring the Knicks and getting the brand 238 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,880 back to where it was and you know that I appreciate that. 239 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,840 Thank you, Joe awesome. I'm going to try. 240 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,800 I'm going to certainly try. Keep up, keep up the phenomenal 241 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:29,880 work. BT thank you. 242 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,040 That's the mission. Like one thing you're going to 243 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,840 get on BT Unleashed, one thing you're going to get wherever I 244 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,000 am, St. John's radio booth, St. 245 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,840 John's TV show popping up as a guest on other pods doing this. 246 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,120 Obviously on the you going, you're going to get my best you 247 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,080 going. Now there's going to be times I 248 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,480 I miss. There's going to be times I 249 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,360 swing and miss where I miss. Read something you are listening 250 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,920 and watching and by extension, certainly supporting somebody 251 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,000 who has too much respect for this business to come and fuck 252 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,240 around. I'm not doing it. 253 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,200 I'm just not wasting anybody's time. 254 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,120 I am in. I think you guys know that that 255 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,600 what you hear and what you see, this is a byproduct of being 256 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,560 invested to my craft. So when you say that and that's 257 00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:12,400 recognized, I truly appreciate that. 258 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,840 Thank you very much. I mean that man. 259 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,560 Thank you sincerely. So, you know, back to Leon Rose 260 00:12:17,560 --> 00:12:20,440 and the pivot from Yabasili. I know they'll take one more 261 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,600 swing. It got us what I would like to 262 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,000 see the Knicks do. And the problem I would feel, I 263 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,000 would feel great, as great as you can feel without having 264 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,360 Jordan or Magic or Bird or Kobe and Shaq or one of those other, 265 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,560 you know, Tim Duncan, one of those great luminaries of the 266 00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:41,880 game, Hakeem at his prime. I would feel great about this 267 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,760 Knicks team if they can find one guy. 268 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,120 Problem is, not many guys like that, that I'll identify the 269 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,560 type in a moment. There's not many guys like this. 270 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:55,160 And because there's a shortage and a dearth and a paucity of 271 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,480 those types of players, if you have one, you're not getting rid 272 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,480 of them. I would love, love for the 273 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:06,040 Knicks to find somebody just that I know is going to have 274 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,160 Karl Anthony Towns's back. Like that's the one thing with 275 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,840 the smoke with Draymond recently, nobody came to his 276 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,360 defense when Draymond Green grabbed the shoe and threw him 277 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,520 on the floor. Cat didn't want the smoke. 278 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,440 He's he's not built for that. I know OG kind of walked in 279 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,800 there a little bit. And I do think that I think I 280 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:27,480 think OG would, you know, stand up for himself for sure. 281 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,160 And he tried to stand up for teammate. 282 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,360 But who else is doing that? All right, you want to tell me? 283 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,000 Josh Hart? Yeah. 284 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,840 Josh Hart's the one guy who's going to do it. 285 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,560 Brunson's not billed for that. Bridges isn't billed for that. 286 00:13:36,560 --> 00:13:39,200 I don't even think Mitchell Robinson, who is big and strong, 287 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:40,400 I don't think he's billed for it. 288 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,440 Kollek's not billed for it. Deuce is, is is is not what he's 289 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,520 heard. That's a problem. 290 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:46,680 Deuce, I don't think is really billed for that. 291 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,560 I would feel awesome if I even if it was 1213 minutes a night, 292 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,960 that if the Knicks had somebody like the modern type. 293 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,200 Again, I know this is ridiculous and it's so exhausting. 294 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,840 Always. Oh, remember when the Knicks had 295 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,600 Oakley? But because there's no more 296 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,640 Charles like Draymond Greens, not Charles Oakley like Draymond 297 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,480 Green can think that he's Charles Oakley. 298 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:08,680 He ain't. And I can promise you if there 299 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:11,440 was a Charles Oakley on the court and Draymond was trying to 300 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,120 pull that nonsense that he that he's pulled with other guys as 301 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,720 soon as Oakley stepped to him or soon as Oakley sought him out in 302 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,880 the tunnel or at the club, which by the way, is where Oakley 303 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,440 would go and do his business like Charles Oakley. 304 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,960 And not that he ever had an issue throwing down on the 305 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,840 court. We've seen it Alonzo morning. 306 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,800 I mean, many others, right? Xavier McDaniel had no issue 307 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,960 with it. But if you crossed Oakley, 308 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,920 whether it was with a girl or with money or something dirty 309 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,080 during the game, he's either waiting at the tunnel or he 310 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,440 knows where you hang in post game and he's going to walk in. 311 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:43,800 He's going to handle it like a man. 312 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,600 I mean, imagine a mat now, you know, and I know there's other 313 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:49,960 guys who were big and tough out there, but a mat like Oakley's 314 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,240 different. He's just built different. 315 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,760 Imagine being in a club with your boys and you know, you got 316 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,760 you got the ropes and you got the honeys and you got 317 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,080 everything. You got the whole night set up. 318 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,160 And Oak walks in, you know, with two or three his hench men and 319 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,560 Oak's got the long fur coat. And Oak is not there to just 320 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,320 wolf and talk like, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm going to talk and 321 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,320 hopefully it gets broken up. I mean, Charles Oakley was when 322 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,000 when he was looking for smoke, he found it and then he turned 323 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,480 it into flames. So those guys don't exist 324 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,920 anymore. I understand that. 325 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,320 But whatever the modern version is, and I I guess the modern 326 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,680 version to an extent is somebody like Draymond and the Knicks. 327 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,640 They're not going to trade him and he's not coming to the 328 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,200 Knicks anyway. But if they just had one guy 329 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,760 that was in the rotation that I knew if somebody took a cheap 330 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:38,400 shot at Cat, took a liberty with Brunson, you know, screen elbow, 331 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,280 hard foul to the face, you know, even though that stuff doesn't 332 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,680 happen that much. But what had happened with 333 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,520 Draymond, nobody did a damn thing about it. 334 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,640 And that's the problem. Like, I feel like this Knicks 335 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,040 team is not tough enough. And this is not me trying to 336 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,720 recreate the 90s guys. I know that those those days are 337 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,040 over. But the championship teams, they 338 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,480 got a guy that the league knows you don't mess with even Yokich, 339 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,360 like with Denver, like you mess with Yokich, you mess with 340 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,960 Yokich's boys, his brothers too. You know what I mean? 341 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,240 Like, and I'm not trying to turn this into into a street fight, 342 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,000 but I do think that that's missing from the Knicks. 343 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,320 I mean, Mikhail Bridges is a mouse. 344 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,800 Like he doesn't have an ounce of, you know, physical number 345 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,040 one. He's he's he's just physically 346 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,840 not imposing. Now. 347 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,840 He can run all night and he's an Iron Man and he can play 40 348 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,960 something minutes if he has to, like he did last night. 349 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,680 Few guys did. But if something goes down, I 350 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,800 mean, Mikhail Bridges is the first guy who's getting shoved 351 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,440 out of the way. And I don't think he's going to 352 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,160 be very quick to get back into the picture. 353 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:44,360 So I'd look at this and I look at the trade deadline and I look 354 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,520 at the, yeah, Shamit's playing. Well, I've always been a Shamit 355 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,240 fan. I remember, you know, I guess it 356 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:50,800 was last year. I'm talking about Shamit. 357 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:51,840 Sounds like Shamit. Shamit. 358 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,040 But if it if it revolves around Shamit, Nick's got no, Nick's 359 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,920 got no chance. I have always been a Shamit fan. 360 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,920 I think what he brings to the table is really obvious and 361 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,079 really good. And he has been on a heater 362 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:05,359 since he got back. Big fan. 363 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,520 And he's going to play. So, you know, everybody's 364 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,920 fixated on Giannis. If Leon Rose could find one dude 365 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,680 that's going to be in the rotation 6-7 minutes, 1/2, all 366 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,880 right, and have the back, really, truly have the back of 367 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,960 this of of, of the important guys on this team, the finesse 368 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,319 guys on this team, I would feel great. 369 00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:26,240 I would be telling you right now, I think the Knicks would 370 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,560 win the championship. Like that's really the one thing 371 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:29,960 holding him back. It's not skill. 372 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,960 Knicks can score $1.30. Knicks defense has gotten 373 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,520 better. Knicks have depth. 374 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,080 Knicks are well coached. Like the Knicks have a lot. 375 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,680 Knicks have experience, Knicks have chemistry, the Knicks have 376 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,680 jail, blah, blah, blah, all those other basketball things, 377 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,480 they've got them. The one thing they don't have is 378 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,560 that just that dude, you know that dude, if you take a shot at 379 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,240 Cat, that guy's waiting. And I think they're missing that 380 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,640 now and I don't think he can really find it. 381 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,320 But if Leon Rose did, I'd be pumped. 382 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,280 So it's interesting, the Knicks, and I don't mean the first 383 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,120 couple of games when Cat was trying to figure out his 384 00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:04,320 identity with the team member who's complaining about that, 385 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,400 said they're in training camp. I don't know what my role is. 386 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,400 And then he had a bit of a quad issue to start and the Knicks 387 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,760 kind of, you know, a little sluggish out of the chute. 388 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,800 Then the Knicks really quickly coalesced and became a really 389 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,760 good team. What we thought they would be a 390 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,400 different team from Tom Thibodeau's team and really a 391 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,560 team that you know, and and still obviously based on the 392 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,560 odds, they have a chance to win the championship. 393 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,000 Clearly, even though I don't think that they will, I don't 394 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,440 think they're built for that seven game run, you know, 395 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,000 conference finals, NBA Finals, that I hope I'm wrong. 396 00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:38,600 But now we can start to really truly look at tangibly rather 397 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,320 than just saying because when they were on the uptick, you had 398 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,480 a lot. And I like the Mike Brown 399 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,640 higher. He wasn't my first choice and he 400 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,360 was like #7 choice for the Knicks. 401 00:18:46,360 --> 00:18:50,120 But once they settled on him, I liked it because it was a 402 00:18:50,120 --> 00:18:53,480 contrast to Tom Thibodeau. He had been in in in winning 403 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,400 organizations, an offensive guy. I thought it was the nice just 404 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,760 again, a nice contrast to Tom. I really, and I said that so I 405 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,760 was open to Mike Brown. So, but I mean, I never went 406 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,960 nuts like even when the Knicks were on their on their best run 407 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,600 earliest, you know, but during the cup and all that stuff, I 408 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,720 wasn't getting on the air. And at that point I was still on 409 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,520 the fan saying, oh, Mike Brown is Pat Riley, you know, with 410 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,000 offense. I mean, you know, he he's a good 411 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,680 coach and Tom Thibodeau is a good coach. 412 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,120 He's not a great coach, neither is Mike Brown. 413 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,640 They're both good. And I think what one of the 414 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,360 reasons I was open to certainly moving on from Tom, whether it 415 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:31,800 was Brown or somebody else, I just thought that Tom Thibodeau 416 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,920 had exhausted everything that he could possibly squeeze out of 417 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,600 this Knicks team. I don't think there was another 418 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,600 level I and I wanted to find out because the window with this 419 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,320 group with Brunson's contract, blah, blah, blah, things I've 420 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:45,880 set up before. I don't need to keep going to. 421 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,880 I don't think it's nearly as long as maybe some of you think. 422 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,560 It's not a five year win, though, like the finances of the 423 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,000 Knicks. Eventually Brunson's getting 424 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,600 that massive extension, Max money, rightfully so, and the 425 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,400 team friendly deal he's on now expires and now the finances 426 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,000 change. Do you re sign Mitch? 427 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,640 I mean, there's things at play here that are going to impact 428 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,440 how long the Knicks will be in the meaning for truly, truly in 429 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,960 the meaningful part of the NBA title discussion. 430 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,920 But we are deep. Enough into the season, far, far 431 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,960 enough away from Tom Thibodeau, deep enough into the Mike Brown 432 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,640 run to at least look at some numbers. 433 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,360 And I came across some numbers last night and I took a 434 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:25,040 screenshot of it. Who the hell had it? 435 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,680 Was it? Was it Tommy B? 436 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,120 How do you say be deer or bear? I'm not trying to be 437 00:20:30,120 --> 00:20:31,920 disrespectful. I honestly, I'm I'm not sure the 438 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:33,320 name. He may have had it. 439 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,640 So I'm not trying to steal this and make it seem like it came up 440 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,840 with it on my own. Somebody else had it. 441 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,160 I took a screenshot, jotted down some numbers. 442 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:41,480 Listen to this stuff, guys, right. 443 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:46,240 So last year at this point, the Knicks had a 62% winning 444 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,400 percentage. Obviously right now to take 445 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,840 higher 64%, all right, not going to go nuts. 446 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,320 Slight advantage Mike Brown Boom. 447 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,400 Offensive rating 117 last year, 119.2 this year. 448 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,040 Advantage Mike Brown defensive rating. 449 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,360 All the Tom Thibodeau truthers all Tom Thibodeau. 450 00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:05,440 He's a great defensive coach. He's this, he's that. 451 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,320 And he was like the Knicks played hard and the Knicks 452 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,520 played with purpose and the defensive numbers backed up at 453 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,080 that stance. Well, the defensive rating for 454 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:20,080 Tom Thibodeau was 113.3 and for Mike Brown it's 113.2. 455 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,360 It's literally 110th of a, a point worse. 456 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,600 All right. Net rating, +4 for Tom Pibido, 457 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,920 +6 for Mike Brown. Advantage Mike Brown's. 458 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,000 These weren't these are interesting. 459 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,040 This to me is the is most important. 460 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,160 Not that those numbers don't matter, they just kind of 461 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,280 illuminate a little bit of the difference, but This is why 462 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,880 those numbers are better. Here's here's the context to it. 463 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,200 So the starters minutes, we all know Tom Thibodeau drove them 464 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,720 into the ground 35.8 last year. This year, 31.7. 465 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,280 I mean, that's a that's a sizable drop. 466 00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,600 The bench minutes last year 12 1/2 this year almost 17. 467 00:22:01,360 --> 00:22:05,000 The bench points last year 22, this year 31. 468 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,040 So so far, and I'm not picking and choosing. 469 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,880 I've got, you know, 246. I get about 12 stats here. 470 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,760 Literally everyone favors Mike Brown except the defensive 471 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,160 rating, which is 110th of a point behind Tom Thibodeau, 472 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,680 right? 3 point attempts, 6 more night 473 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,760 for Mike Brown quarter threes, which is we know and the Knicks 474 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,840 have some good shooters like Bridges and and and OG are among 475 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,240 the best and they have been the best rated corner 3 point 476 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,440 shooters in the NBA with over 40% for their career or at least 477 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,800 last couple years. So the amount of threes in terms 478 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,800 of volume has increased by 6A night that's potentially 18 more 479 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,560 points and the quarter threes, which is a higher percentage, 480 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,960 higher make rate is +3 this year advantage Mike Brown. 481 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,040 Now you get to the rebounds plus 4M brown, the free throw 482 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,720 attempts plus 2M brown. And I love this and I I don't 483 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,200 know when I first really realize that they really track this. 484 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,120 I mean, they track everything. How many miles guys run over the 485 00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:07,200 course of the game. All that's a top speed. 486 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,680 That's basically you see that Madden, you know, 21.2 miles an 487 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,640 hour. You see that in the NFLI think 488 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,480 this is a great stat and I feel like it's really started to be 489 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:19,400 illuminated in the last year or so passes per game. 490 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,200 I mean, think about that the old way when I was a kid. 491 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:26,080 I would open up the newspaper and I would look at the next I 492 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,760 would I would read all the box scores, right? 493 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,600 I love doing that. We do it at the breakfast table 494 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,200 at home eating cereal. And I started out reading the 495 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,760 cereal bot like riboflavin, whatever the hell is in cereal. 496 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,440 I don't know why I would I was fixated on the ingredients on 497 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,640 within the on the cereal box, right. 498 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,680 And then as I get older, a little bit older, I just started 499 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,440 grabbing the paper everyday paper, paper, paper, paper and 500 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,520 going outside to get the papers get the papers. 501 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,600 Anybody knows that identified me in the text right there pop you 502 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,840 up going outside to get the papers, get the papers. 503 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,520 So reading the papers, right, like many of you box score kid, 504 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,360 and in the NBA specific to that sport, it was how many points 505 00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:07,600 did Patrick have? How many rebounds did Patrick 506 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,440 have? How many assisted maybe Mark 507 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,280 Jackson have? And that was how many rebounds 508 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,360 did old cab. And that was kind of the extent 509 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:16,880 of it. You know, it wasn't like there 510 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:22,320 was never a deep dive. So to me, when I see passes per 511 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,160 game, I just find that to be an incredibly interesting stat. 512 00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:27,160 Yep. Goodfellas. 513 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,800 That a boy. Get him up there, Charlie. 514 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,840 There you go, Charlie. Goodfellas. 515 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,360 Yeah. Where you going there, Joey? 516 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,520 Going outside to get the papers. Get the papers. 517 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,200 I love it because it just speaks to ball movement. 518 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,120 And, you know, you think about some of the some of the players 519 00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:43,960 in the NBA and this would this is not to shade him. 520 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,840 I've got great respect for him. I love him, profound respect. 521 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,440 But one of the issues with Julius Randle when Julius Randle 522 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:55,600 was here was bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang the ball. 523 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,200 The monopolization of the basketball, which leads to fewer 524 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,160 passes, which leads to fewer open looks, which leads to more 525 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,400 unhappy teammates who aren't getting to eat. 526 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:11,240 So anyway, last year the Knicks to average 281 passes a game. 527 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,000 Think about what we're actually referencing passes per game this 528 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,400 year, 291 1/2. So basically 10 1/2 more passes 529 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,160 per game. What does it equate to? 530 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,880 I don't know, but I do know it's not a bad thing. 531 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,640 All right, so I am starting to feel better about this Knick 532 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,160 team. I am again, the day that I turn 533 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:34,920 into the guy who has an opinion, remains married to it, and then 534 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,160 isn't at least open enough to maybe tweak that and and be fair 535 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:40,480 to people. I'm in the business of being 536 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:41,600 fair. Like I'm not. 537 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,800 I was never here to just shit on Karl Anthony Towns. 538 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,760 I can promise you that. Like, that was never my 539 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:49,800 motivation. But watching every game, you 540 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,400 know, knowing the NBA the way I do, the way we do, it's pretty 541 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,840 obvious his deficiencies and and how that's going to manifest 542 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,000 itself against good teams in May and June who scout out advanced 543 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,840 scouting, game to game adjustments with better players 544 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,120 and better coaching. And you know, the early fouls, 545 00:26:08,120 --> 00:26:10,480 whatever, sloppy getting to the rim, all the things I've hit. 546 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,760 But Coral, Anthony, the Towns are starting to play like a big 547 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,280 boy, start to play like a big boy. 548 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,680 And if that can remain the focus and, you know, he's not hunting 549 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,320 shots and he's not off balance and, you know, just again, 550 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,960 sloppy and it's just the word like just sometimes he looks 551 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,880 sloppy, but he's looked less sloppy lately. 552 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,160 And he is augmented his game. And I think in turn the the 553 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,480 Knicks process of of how they play has been augmented a bit. 554 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,720 Certainly defensively, as I chronicle before, no longer 555 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,640 funneling to the middle. Now we're pushing out to the 556 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,720 baseline. And it's worked out now. 557 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,400 They played a lot of bad teams. Last night was not a bad team. 558 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,040 Denver's very good. And last night was fun, as I 559 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,120 said, but it is very interesting where I was very down on this 560 00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:56,000 team and not just because they had lost a couple games in a 561 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,920 row. Like I never got too high when 562 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,000 they won the NBA Cup, although I I enjoyed it and I didn't 563 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,800 denounce it like I did what it was introduced by Adam Silver. 564 00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:08,560 But, you know, as it got deeper, I'm like, all right, you know, 565 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,120 if I'm going to get some competitive games in December 566 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:17,240 and it's going to maybe kind of replicate to an extent a, a deep 567 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,520 playoff, you know, the playoff run, that kind of intensity. 568 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,040 All right, it's not a bad thing. Now, some of you thought, and I 569 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,760 never really agreed with this. I thought it was a convenient 570 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,360 excuse. Some people thought, well, the 571 00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:31,040 Knicks, they they were exhausted. 572 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,040 You know, they tapped themselves out. 573 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:36,320 They exerted too much energy trying to capture the NBA Cup. 574 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,200 Like, to me, that was just an erroneous foolish take that I 575 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,640 never once subscribed. I laughed at. 576 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,520 And I'm like, dude, you're a pro athlete. 577 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,800 Like, how much harder did you play 6%? 578 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,720 It was like you played 90% harder. 579 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,480 I mean, come on. I mean, because a lot of the 580 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,360 Knicks really, for the most part, for the most part do go 581 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,600 fairly Max exertion anyway, which is why they're one of the 582 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,440 better teams in the NBA. So there's a lot of play here, 583 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:05,520 You know, back to the whole Yanis that will they trade Yanis 584 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,520 at the end of the day? I say no. 585 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,320 If he is dealt, is he coming to the Knicks? 586 00:28:10,360 --> 00:28:14,520 I say no. Do I think the Knicks or trying 587 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,400 to bolster, you know, one bigger athletic body that can just as I 588 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:21,280 said before, just kind of at least know he's got cats back a 589 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,720 little bit. That'd be nice. 590 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,760 Be nice. Not to mention having Jalen 591 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,440 Brunson's back. That would be nice because then 592 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,960 to me it will be a complete team. 593 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,600 They just have too many that you know what it is like. 594 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,080 I do. I do believe sometimes Mikhail 595 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:36,760 Bridges plays too soft. I do. 596 00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:40,040 I do believe sometimes Karl and Anthony Towns plays too, too 597 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,440 soft, although that's starting to change a little bit, which is 598 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,920 nice. But I just feel like the Knicks 599 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,080 part of its physical, part of its presentation, I think the 600 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,240 Knicks have too many benign personalities. 601 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,080 Like you don't have anybody that's really a loose wire 602 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:02,400 that's going to color outside the lines, if you will, you 603 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,800 know, just be a bit of an agitator. 604 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,040 And I know for the most part that's been dissolved. 605 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,160 Like the NBA doesn't want that, that, that element and that 606 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,760 brand of physicality. Not going to fly anymore. 607 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:17,840 Guys are making too much money, 50, sixty, $65 million a year. 608 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,960 You want to keep your best players healthy. 609 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,520 I get it. Whereas back in the day, you 610 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,280 know, when Cora Malone hammers Isaiah and gives them 40 611 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,920 stitches, it's like, well, whatever, you know, you're going 612 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,240 to the land. I I, it's a business decision. 613 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,400 Zeke, Too bad. And that was a nasty gash. 614 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,800 You know, Lane Beer throwing punches at Bird. 615 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:38,760 Yeah, maybe a guy gets kicked out of the game. 616 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,280 Maybe there's a small suspension, but it was not 617 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,640 frowned upon and policed out of the game like it obviously was 618 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,080 many years ago at the end of Stearns and and and clearly 619 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,080 Silver, which is a very different, softer, but much more 620 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,400 highly skilled NBA. That doesn't mean you can't have 621 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,320 one dude if something goes down, or maybe even more specifically 622 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,360 as a deterrent to prevent somebody from doing something to 623 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,200 your guy that might have something go down. 624 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,200 Like those are two very different things. 625 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,600 A guy who's going to throw hands, which doesn't happen 626 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,120 anymore, who's going to throw hands when something happens, 627 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,320 That's the obvious result. But there's also the dude whose 628 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,120 mere presence on the court or in the vicinity of the court if 629 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,320 he's on the bench. The other teams know. 630 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:28,160 I mean, dudes know, you know, game recognize game tough 631 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,920 recognize tough and more importantly, weak or softish 632 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,560 recognizes tough and and and they're not trying to get after 633 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,600 that. So I'm hopeful. 634 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,200 I don't expect anything today, but man, I'd be pumped up 635 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,560 because I am feeling better about the Knicks. 636 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,680 I truly am. I really, really am. 637 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,280 To the point. Yeah. 638 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,440 Avery Summit. What up, buddy? 639 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,200 Hey, BT this team needs to Dylan Brooks. 640 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,440 I take him on this team in a heartbeat. 641 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,600 Maybe we can get a poor man's version of him before the 642 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,280 deadline promises. Not many guys like that. 643 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,520 There's not many guys like that in the NBA. 644 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:58,440 You know what? I know it. 645 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:04,120 Come on. So I I just, it's it's I have 646 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,360 the discussion because I want to present what I think the Knicks 647 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,960 are missing. And they've got I mean, they got 648 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,960 they got skill coming out at the wazoo. 649 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,600 Like it's not a skill thing. It's that little intangible. 650 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,600 Yeah. Bridges was so pathetic last 651 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,400 night. But he did hit the meaningful 652 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,040 shot. He did play a lot of minutes. 653 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,040 He did persevere. You got to respect it. 654 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,840 Yeah. He's had some rough games, no 655 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:23,520 doubt. Charlie. 656 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,400 F6675. What up, Charlie? 657 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,080 To your point, the Joker had a hard foul on Brunson Cat. 658 00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,640 Nowhere to be found. Now, again, this this is like 659 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,080 the and. And thank you for that, Charlie. 660 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,600 You know, where's Oakley? Where's Mace? 661 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,000 We don't have one. Yeah, but that conversation also 662 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,920 gets old after a while. That's why I don't really want 663 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,040 to spend much time on it. And that's why when I bring it 664 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,520 up, I always preface it with there are no more guys like 665 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:46,800 that. It's been coached out. 666 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,520 It's been policed out. Everybody's buddies, everybody's 667 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,040 boys, everybody's popping into the Instagram on the other team 668 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:56,160 liking comments. That's why when you get real 669 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:01,320 smoke and you get real friction and you get real dislike, it's 670 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,160 it's good. And you kind of had that with 671 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,640 Draymond and Cat. The problem was Cat wasn't up to 672 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,800 the challenge and nobody else around them was, you know, 673 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,320 Draymond is because he knows he's in Cat's head. 674 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,880 And let's I mean, listen, as much as I say, you know, Oak and 675 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:22,640 Mason Xavier McDaniel, guys like that Billy Beer, like that was a 676 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,080 different level of getting after it. 677 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,600 But it's I don't think Draymond's like that. 678 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:28,160 I don't think. And you talk to the old heads 679 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,800 who played in the NBA back then. They say the same thing about 680 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:35,320 Draymond, like he's he's he's a police or he's an enforcer or 681 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:36,880 he's a tough guy. Now. 682 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,600 He wouldn't be that guy back then. 683 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:42,240 But if something would really go down with Draymond and Cat, who 684 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,920 you taking? Take a Draymond, you know, and 685 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:50,280 take him every day of the week. So we shall see, man, what else 686 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,480 we got here. Yeah, I'm going to get to Woody 687 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,240 in a second. Got a little something on Beatty 688 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,480 and Vientos as well. What does he say? 689 00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,080 BT's got his pinstripes on today. 690 00:32:58,480 --> 00:32:59,800 Yeah. I don't know what the hell kind 691 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,360 of shirt this is. It's a weird looking shirt. 692 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,440 It's like 1/2. I don't know. 693 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,720 It's like, it's actually a nice. It's kind of like silk. 694 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,880 I don't know. I don't think it really looks 695 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:08,880 good. I haven't worn it in a while. 696 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,920 It's like a little tiny turtleneck, you know? 697 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,600 I love the turtlenecks. Wife hates them. 698 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:13,800 Don't care. I wear them. 699 00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,240 But this is like a little baby, baby mock. 700 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,320 But yeah, we do have the pinstripes on. 701 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,120 What else? Those are pretty interesting 702 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,240 numbers, though, to compare and contrast the Tom Thibodeau, Mike 703 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,960 Brown stuff. And I gave them to you because, 704 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,120 you know, I, I like to be able to quantify stuff. 705 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,640 You know, when you do this and you have a strong opinion, you 706 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,560 got to be able to back it up. You have to, and you've also got 707 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,320 to, as I said before, you also have to be able to, Yep, I 708 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:46,400 messed that up. My bad. 709 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,160 I got it wrong. And you have to be that guy. 710 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,760 Otherwise, I think there's just a lack of credibility. 711 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,320 If you're a hot take artist and there's no substance. 712 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,320 And I don't mean, you know, me getting on the air during the 713 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:02,560 show and hammering you with 9000 Advanced Baseball Analytics. 714 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,120 Again, I like it. I know some of you do. 715 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,640 But it's got to be the right spot. 716 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,400 You got to drop them in where it works and where it's applicable 717 00:34:10,639 --> 00:34:13,280 and you got to move on. Otherwise it becomes a show that 718 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,520 I'm not even sure that I would want to do. 719 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,840 And I love the numbers, let alone you listening to it. 720 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,760 But I, I do think now, you know, this is not, this is no longer 721 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,239 like a small, little teeny, tiny movement, the analytical 722 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,080 movement. I mean, this is pretty much it. 723 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,480 Every general manager in every sport is married to analytics to 724 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,400 an extent. To what degree, I don't know. 725 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,520 I know Booty's pushed back on this a lot. 726 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,320 He's very sensitive to that. And I don't I don't blame him 727 00:34:38,679 --> 00:34:42,920 because he said this with us on the fan. 728 00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:46,360 He said this the other night, BT and Sal or two weeks ago, the BT 729 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,480 and Sal live show. And he said it a few times. 730 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,960 I think he said it the other day on WFNC Mac and and Craig had 731 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,639 him on. And he just, it bothers him like 732 00:34:55,639 --> 00:34:58,120 he pushes back. And I don't blame him this 733 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:02,880 notion that he's just, you know, pecking away, excuse me, pecking 734 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:07,280 away the keyboard looking for something to spit itself out and 735 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,600 then just enter into lineup. Because when you think about 736 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,480 this, if he really was married to the numbers like some of you 737 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,280 think that he is, and I'm not saying he's not they, I mean, 738 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,880 everybody is. But you wouldn't be so bold to 739 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,640 come on the show with us. And he flat out said this, that 740 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,520 the Orioles are more analytically like you're not 741 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,080 dropping names. The Rays, Toronto by far. 742 00:35:32,720 --> 00:35:34,040 He said the Red Sox a little bit. 743 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:38,320 But he basically he did say that in the American League East, the 744 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,200 Yankees are the least analytically driven team in the 745 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,880 division, which is really the exact opposite, really a 746 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,720 contrasting view to what basically a lot of people 747 00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:50,880 espouse. And, and it bothers them because 748 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,760 if I'm Aaron Boone and I'm winning 94 games and I'm winning 749 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,840 99 games and I'm in the playoffs every year and when things go 750 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,280 wrong, people shit on me. When things go right, they're 751 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:02,760 like, well, he's just punching numbers. 752 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,480 I would have an issue with that too. 753 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,040 I would show that energy. And I actually like that he does 754 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:08,800 it. I like that he does it because 755 00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,680 that's I would be sensitive to that. 756 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,560 But, you know, I say that because at this point, like, the 757 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,720 numbers are no longer like some novel, like, wow, somebody 758 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:20,840 referencing the analytics, the numbers. 759 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,640 Oh my God, what a forward thinker. 760 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,440 I mean, it really we're kind of getting to the point where if 761 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,320 you don't incorporate the numbers, you're a dinosaur. 762 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,640 Whether you're AGM, whether you're a manager, whether you're 763 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,600 a player. I mean the players, they want to 764 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,440 know, you know, they want to know you'll you'll see Jalen 765 00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,920 Brunson with an iPad on the bench, which that I kind of 766 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,000 hate. I do kind of hate that, but I 767 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,320 get it. I don't mind as much like Ara 768 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,760 Judge and and others do this. You have it at bat. 769 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,680 You get in, you sit down, maybe you watch the pitch sequence 770 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,240 there. You look at the the iPad. 771 00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:55,240 It is wild to think that they actually have a device. 772 00:36:55,240 --> 00:36:58,040 I mean, wow. But and I'm waiting for the 773 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,040 first time somebody gets shot looking at something that you 774 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,200 know, there's a screenshot of somebody looking at something 775 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:03,160 that they shouldn't be looking at. 776 00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,120 Like there's going to be a, you know, it's coming. 777 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,360 I mean during the game, like A and it's probably not going to 778 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,360 happen in the NBA. It's probably going to happen in 779 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,920 baseball only because in the NBA, because it's wide open. 780 00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,600 These players aren't dumb and they they know what you know, 781 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,120 they know click. Gotcha. 782 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,560 So whereas with baseball, there's just a prevailing 783 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,440 thought because you're shielded by the dugout. 784 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,040 Maybe you can get away with stuff. 785 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,840 It's a matter of time before there's a screenshot somebody 786 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,320 looking at something they shouldn't be looking at. 787 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,080 But it's but it's absolutely wild. 788 00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,560 And and you see, I saw this the other day. 789 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,840 You see now where and I watched this show a lot. 790 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,160 It's called the hey, watch the show a lot. 791 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,640 You're forgetting the name. I just want to make sure I get 792 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,720 the name right. But I do watch it's on yes, the 793 00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:49,240 path to pinstripes. I think it is pinstripe path. 794 00:37:49,240 --> 00:37:52,040 I think it's path to pinstripes and it chronicles the Yankees 795 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,000 minor leagues. I love watching it with my son 796 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,000 because you know, there's not 40,000 people in the stands. 797 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000 It's just it's a lot of grunt work. 798 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,880 It's a lot of on field stuff. It's a lot of guys in the weight 799 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:04,200 room. I I love it and he loves it. 800 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,720 It's a good watch, right? Really good show and you'll see 801 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,480 when somebody doing a bullpen session like a young kid and the 802 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:13,760 pitching coach is out there with them. 803 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,400 They've got the cameras, which is, and, and all the, all the 804 00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,320 radars, which is picking up, you know, RPM's and all the 805 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:21,920 revolutions and all the things. And then they'll, they'll throw 806 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,520 a pitch and they'll actually look at the data and they'll 807 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,360 talk about it. And then they'll try to apply it 808 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,160 to make it better or if it's really good, try to stay there. 809 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,920 So it is what it is. So, you know, looking at numbers 810 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,000 at this point is not like some, you know, wow, this dude's 20 811 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,840 years ahead of the curve. It's, it's really the other way 812 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,080 if you're not all right. Woody Johnson. 813 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,800 So listen, I don't know what the hell the story is. 814 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,800 I'm not here to refute Mirash's report. 815 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,880 I, I don't even know what Craig said about Moray. 816 00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,920 I saw some stuff online. I don't care where I don't, I'm 817 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,720 not there. If I was there full time, you 818 00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:01,600 know, I still really wouldn't care, quite frankly, because I 819 00:39:01,600 --> 00:39:04,120 never really got involved in, in that stuff at the station. 820 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,920 Just wasn't for me. Never will be, you know, but so 821 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,080 Sean had an interesting take and and I really like Sean and I 822 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,360 like Craig too. That's that sad home. 823 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,960 But I I really like Sean and I've seen I've seen him a lot 824 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,160 over the years. You know, him coming in after my 825 00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,240 show. Good dude, hard worker, 826 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,960 talented, you know, nuts, wacky, all that stuff. 827 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:30,480 But a lovable guy like I really do like Sean and Sean has is 828 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,280 probably probably first known early on for just doing wacky 829 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,720 shit like with DA, like eating Donuts, like just crazy stuff. 830 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,160 I think at the Boomerang Geo live show, he was dressed up as 831 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,920 baby New Year in a diaper. He's out of his mind. 832 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,000 And like, you got to like somebody that can laugh at 833 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,280 themselves that way and doesn't take themselves that seriously. 834 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,240 So again, I'm, I'm, I'm a Sean fan, right? 835 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:54,880 And I'm happy he's getting this opportunity. 836 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,600 And I told him that as well. Anyway, he comes out basically 837 00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:02,000 like with the report, which he doesn't really do. 838 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,680 I don't really do because we're not reporters. 839 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,120 You know, I told you once in a while that'll come up. 840 00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,360 Like I told you a couple of years ago, St. 841 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,480 John's going to hire Rick Pitino. 842 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:11,840 Now, obviously I'm connected to St. 843 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,320 John's. I'm going to get my Intel. 844 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:14,520 I'm going to get it from the right person. 845 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,160 I'm going to go with it. And I was right. 846 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,280 Like, I'm not going to mess that up. 847 00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,000 And I'm not just going to project something that I think 848 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,920 could happen or I want to happen if I put it out there like a 849 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,000 report. You got to be right. 850 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:31,280 OK, So for somebody like Sean to do that, it's pretty aggressive 851 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:34,920 and and I'm certainly not here to refute it and do. 852 00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,280 And again, I don't know what Craig said. 853 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:42,160 I really don't care. But I think it was contrary to 854 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,560 what Sean said. I think right, something about, 855 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,760 you know, Mooji wasn't at the combine, but the people that 856 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,040 know Mooji were saying Woody starting to get meddlesome 857 00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:52,720 again, like that story, you know the story. 858 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,080 If this fucking guy can't stay away, It's it's hopeless, dude. 859 00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,200 There's just nothing else to say. 860 00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:01,960 It's it's it's hopeless. If Woody Johnson can't keep his 861 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:07,600 dirty hands off this team and just let Muji do his job, then I 862 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,720 don't know why we're wasting energy on The Jets anymore, 863 00:41:09,720 --> 00:41:11,480 because then it's you. It's it's not it's not 864 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:14,280 salvageable. It's not when you have somebody 865 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:18,000 at the top that's subverts somebody who, if this is true, 866 00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,400 and I tend to believe that it is, you know, it's not my 867 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,560 report, but it's certainly not a stunning or breaking news. 868 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,800 Woody Johnson is still acting like a dope trying to run The 869 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:30,400 Jets, right? So I probably believe it a lot 870 00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:34,680 more than I don't, you know, But jeez, this guy, just when you 871 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:39,160 think all righty, he hires Muji, who showed some good aptitude 872 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:42,960 with some low level trades, A willingness to mix it up, you 873 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,480 know, then some big trades with sauce and queue take a different 874 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,240 kind of a a swing The Jets never take right, rather than trying 875 00:41:50,240 --> 00:41:53,000 to piece it together and add to a cord that was never going to 876 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,240 win. He recognized that quickly. 877 00:41:55,240 --> 00:41:57,000 He said, you know what? By the time I get the 878 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,120 quarterback, by the time I figure this thing out, by the 879 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:00,720 time I fix the rest of the defense. 880 00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,640 Well, is sauce the same player? Is Quinn Williams the same 881 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,360 player? So I think that was very smart 882 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,560 move. I really did. 883 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,760 And I know what happened the rest of the season. 884 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:12,520 The Jets became unwatchable and unspeakably bad. 885 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,880 Like the point differential and disparity in the month of 886 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,120 December was the worst in the history of the NFL. 887 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:19,960 We're not talking about a bad jet stat. 888 00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,920 We're talking about like it's it's it's one thing to have a 889 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,640 stat like, you know, The Jets haven't had a I'm just throwing 890 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,560 something out. I don't know, 30 touchdown 891 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,360 quarterbacks since that Vinny didn't even have 30. 892 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,160 So Fitzpatrick broke the broke the mark, right. 893 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,160 Some ignominious jet stat like that's that's basic stuff. 894 00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:43,400 You know, you go back to the Knicks before this renaissance 895 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,040 here most of the century, Any Knicks stat is going to be a bad 896 00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,240 one. But when you hear about stats 897 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,760 that are the worst in the history of the NFL, like The 898 00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:00,160 Jets point differential in December for any month, you know 899 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,680 what's bad, All right, You know what's bad. 900 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:06,120 So, And I'm OK with that because I'm thinking bigger picture, 901 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,920 there's no quick fix. You're not going to bring in 902 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,720 like they try and I understood why they did this with Devante 903 00:43:11,720 --> 00:43:14,800 Adams and try to make Rodgers comfortable and the thought of 904 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,680 getting Rodgers because they had a good defense. 905 00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,520 And the thing you know, you, you had, you were seven and four at 906 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:21,720 one point with Zach. You know, when I was at the game 907 00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:24,840 in Green Bay when they beat the Packers against Rod, I was at 908 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:26,120 that game on one of my Jets trips. 909 00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:27,920 It was awesome. Absolutely. 910 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,840 Wow. Lambeau was great, even better 911 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,120 than you think. As much good as you hear about 912 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,240 Lambeau Fable Lambeau, oh, what an experience. 913 00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,000 It's a you, you, it's, it's better than you think. 914 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,800 You have to walk in not only the stadium and the people are so 915 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,240 nice and so welcoming and so knowledgeable. 916 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,440 The whole it's, it's just all about the Packers. 917 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:54,840 It's insane and the money that they spend around the like in 918 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,680 the in the area leading up to the stadium, like bars and 919 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,960 restaurants and fire pits. Oh my God, it is phenomenal. 920 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,680 But I was I was at that game and jets blocked the punt ride. 921 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,320 I think breeze had a big run. Pretty sure that a big pick 922 00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,440 there. Like it's not like Zach was 923 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:15,680 playing crazy, but they but they won and you see stuff like that. 924 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,240 And there were other games like that with Zach. 925 00:44:17,240 --> 00:44:19,240 We're like, I just get a quarterback in here. 926 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:22,560 We could piece this together. So that was a sound 927 00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,040 philosophical move. I actually agree with it. 928 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,320 Hey, Rogers wants out. He wants to come to New York. 929 00:44:28,520 --> 00:44:29,760 Why the hell wouldn't we take him? 930 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,120 Like take a chance. He's brilliant. 931 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,680 So even if there's a bit of a decay with his physical traits, 932 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,680 I'm telling pre Achilles and there there really wasn't, but 933 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,400 before the Achilles. But you know, it's it's worth 934 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,920 the risk because if you've got, you know, C minus quarterback 935 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,680 play with that defense and you're in the hunt. 936 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,120 Imagine if you get B quarterback play or B plus or even 937 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,040 occasionally a minus with Rodgers, which you would have 938 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,480 gotten it would have been healthy. 939 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:58,040 So anyway that that route fit where The Jets were. 940 00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,840 Anything else doesn't fit. So this is a long rebuild. 941 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,120 I trust Muji doesn't look like they hired the right coach. 942 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:08,600 Nothing you can do about it now. Give him another run. 943 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,240 You know I wanted Rabel first. There's not a second guess, but 944 00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:14,800 I did want Aaron Glenn. He was on my list. 945 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:19,440 I remember being clearly Rabel one I was interested in Flores, 946 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,640 never had interest in Gruden. Go look it up. 947 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,920 Glenn was always on my list and that list may have been wrong 948 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,840 because it looks like Aaron Glenn's overwhelmed. 949 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,800 Any way you cut it this thing, I don't care how good Muji is at 950 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:36,200 his job potentially and and the small sample so far man boots a 951 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:40,720 study drafted him like it doesn't matter if you're 952 00:45:40,720 --> 00:45:47,720 clueless, pathetic power hungry dope of an owner all right 953 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:53,200 continues to step in the way Woody, would you let the big 954 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,440 boys play. I said this yesterday. 955 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,880 There's like an expression like the old mobsters right, they 956 00:45:57,880 --> 00:45:59,640 would like you know that like think about spider. 957 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,600 You know, Spider getting the guy strings with it before he gets 958 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:05,320 shot in the foot. Like, hey, go, go, go get me 959 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,280 this. Go make yourself small. 960 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,200 Get lost, Take a hike. Go, go, go make yourself small. 961 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,920 That's like, that's mafiosa verbage for get out of here, 962 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,240 dude. We don't need you. 963 00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,240 The men are talking all right, and Woody just can't get this 964 00:46:19,240 --> 00:46:23,040 through his thick head. And the correlation and the 965 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:29,720 connection of The Jets and their miserable Rd. is very simple. 966 00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,520 It's Woody. It's not that they can't find 967 00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,800 the quarterback. That's all part of it, but the 968 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,200 number one reason is because their owner is atrocious. 969 00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,960 This guy's got to bag it. And The thing is, I don't think 970 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,640 he's going to. I really don't think he's going 971 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,160 to. I think Woody Johnson's 972 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,760 incapable of laying out. I really do. 973 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:55,400 I mean, any, any think about think about the the sauce run 974 00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:00,000 DMCLL cool J medallion that this dude was walking around with 975 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:05,720 like he's so desperate to be received the right way that he 976 00:47:05,720 --> 00:47:08,720 can't help himself. And he's a dangerous person in 977 00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:11,120 this regard. He doesn't know what he doesn't 978 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,400 know. And people who don't know what 979 00:47:13,400 --> 00:47:16,400 they don't know, they are a detriment to something good 980 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,040 eventually getting done. They don't know when to lay out. 981 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:20,880 They don't know what to shut up. They don't know what to get 982 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:22,840 lost. They don't know when to let the 983 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:27,440 people that they hire empower them enough to do the job that 984 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,240 you're paying them to do. And this is the irony. 985 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,040 Woody cuts as many checks and that's like one thing you can't 986 00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:35,160 argue. It's like Woody's cheap. 987 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,840 Like it's not like The Jets have this $0.10, you know, nickel 988 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:43,000 fifth rate practice facility. It's phenomenal like I've been 989 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,360 out there and it's not it wasn't built yesterday or last year. 990 00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:50,520 I remember when it first opened. I was at 10:50 ESPN Radio doing 991 00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,120 a couple of shows out there. That's when it opened like it 992 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,720 opened. I'm off the top my J Rod. 993 00:47:56,720 --> 00:47:57,640 Maybe you could double check this. 994 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:02,960 When did went to the floor 2010. I would whatever it was they 995 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,560 they left tops for a long time ago, like Woody built a first 996 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,080 rate platinum building. It blows the giants building 997 00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,920 away. The Giants building is gross 998 00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,680 like, and I've done shows from there as well and I try to 999 00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:17,360 disrespect the Giants. It's it looks like it's 1990. 1000 00:48:17,720 --> 00:48:20,520 I mean, instead of, you know, Jackson Darne, I think Phil 1001 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,480 Simms should be walking out there or Jeff's not Jeff 1002 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,360 Hotstettler. It's just antiquate. 1003 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,240 He's just got a small feel. Just have the opposite. 1004 00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:32,160 The move was 2008. Oh, was earlier, OK, 28 and it's 1005 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,800 2026 and it still looks phenomenal. 1006 00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,680 Thank you for that, J Rod. It's awesome. 1007 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:42,440 So is that a cheap owner? He's just a horrible one because 1008 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,800 he can't get out of his own way. So, you know, whether Sean's 1009 00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:50,480 right, whether Sean's wrong, whatever Craig said, he's right, 1010 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:51,680 he's wrong. I don't know. 1011 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:56,680 But I'm pretty sure every person with a microphone or TV camera, 1012 00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,600 no matter what show you doing, no matter what content you put 1013 00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,120 now, we've all got to go to the same conclusion. 1014 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,280 Like we've all got to meet in the middle of one road. 1015 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:09,280 And that's the road that says Woody is a disaster and it ain't 1016 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,560 going to change. Sadly, that's the problem. 1017 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,560 You know, as much as we have these football discussions and 1018 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:17,000 who should they hire as a coach and you know, all these other 1019 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:21,280 previous years like it's it's just, it's crazy to think that 1020 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,320 it just doesn't matter. And I said the other day, like 1021 00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,600 any success that The Jets have, they're going to stumble upon 1022 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,080 it. Do you really think that they're 1023 00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,520 going to have this amazingly well crafted plan that Muji has 1024 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:37,400 and Woody lays out and A-Z and it actually works and it comes 1025 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,680 to fruition and The Jets are elevated. 1026 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:43,600 They go from moribund to elite and they stay there for a bunch 1027 00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:45,440 of years. And instead of being a punchline 1028 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,320 and a punching bag for every talk show host in the world or 1029 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,640 late night comic, if you even watch that stuff, it's not even 1030 00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,680 funny anymore. But if you do, fine. 1031 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,680 But instead of being that right, they actually become the 1032 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,520 complete antithesis and they become a franchise that's 1033 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,360 respected, that's stable, that's consistent, that's productive, 1034 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,680 that's without noise, that's without leaks. 1035 00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,720 Like it's that. When is that going to happen? 1036 00:50:10,240 --> 00:50:13,000 The connection to The Jets? It all goes to Woody. 1037 00:50:13,280 --> 00:50:17,240 Because even think about this guy's this entire century, like 1038 00:50:17,240 --> 00:50:19,360 I know the last 15 years have been what they've been. 1039 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,440 You know, I know we know no playoffs, right? 1040 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,200 And out of the playoffs by October. 1041 00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:29,440 It's not like they just miss it out as irrelevant and as bad as 1042 00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,440 you can be. But it didn't start that way for 1043 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:35,600 Woody Johnson, if you remember early on her. 1044 00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,880 Now, obviously Belichick wanted no part of that Herm Edwards. 1045 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:45,040 And really, if you think about it, all the coaches had an 1046 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,320 element of success. Even Mangini had his moments 1047 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,960 because that like the culture that was in the building or in 1048 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,200 the franchise, there were enough people that were there, 1049 00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,320 Parcells, you know, good football people, shrewd decision 1050 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:02,480 makers, real football people. And then as Woody's ownership 1051 00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:06,640 tenure became deeper and deeper and deeper, then the residue, 1052 00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:09,560 the good residue started to evaporate. 1053 00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,280 And now basically not the everybody in the building is a 1054 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:17,200 Woody guy and Woody's a clown. And Woody has no clue, which 1055 00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:20,960 means we basically have no hope, which is what it really means. 1056 00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,600 Oh my God almighty, let me pop this guy up there. 1057 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:29,840 What do we got? J KB K 1313 Woody aside, what do 1058 00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:32,560 you decide The Jets really need to focus their resources on 1059 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,760 building an elite defense, an elite old line. 1060 00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,720 They've got a great offensive line quarterbacks important, but 1061 00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:39,480 not as much. See the Eagles there. 1062 00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:42,360 All right, well, fair enough. Listen, I think The Jets off it 1063 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,200 with time we got I got to bounce in a couple of minutes here. 1064 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,120 The Jets old lines phenomenal. Well, let me take that back. 1065 00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:49,960 Calm down. The Jets old line is really 1066 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,400 good. It's their ultimate strength. 1067 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,120 It's really the only thing that they're good at. 1068 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,640 If you think about that, like what do The Jets do? 1069 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:57,560 Well, they run the ball pretty well. 1070 00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,840 How do you run the ball? You have a good old line like 1071 00:51:59,880 --> 00:52:02,440 the 80% of The Jets online is phenomenal. 1072 00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,480 And I'll tell you this and they've got to make a decision 1073 00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,400 to make on Simpson, who I think will be gone and I'll be OK with 1074 00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,080 that. And ABT, who if he's amenable to 1075 00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:13,800 A1 year or even A2 year, A1 year proven with an option, whatever, 1076 00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,800 some guaranteed money, whatever. Jets have a lot of money, they 1077 00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,880 can make it happen. They've got among the top three 1078 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,240 or four most money to spend in free agency. 1079 00:52:20,240 --> 00:52:21,520 So they can do this if they want. 1080 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,400 You just have to trust that for once. 1081 00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,440 I don't know how you do kind of a leap of faith that ABT would 1082 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,920 be physically reliable because if you plug a Nigel Barrett 1083 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:36,040 Tucker where Simpson was right on the left side, now you have 1084 00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:40,240 an absolutely elite young offensive line. 1085 00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,480 Olu membered my like everybody else's tipman. 1086 00:52:44,720 --> 00:52:48,880 Everybody's cheap, you know, So it's it's there like that 1087 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:50,280 components. And that's one of the few 1088 00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:52,920 differences facing this Jets team this year. 1089 00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,680 Every other year. It's like, got to get the 1090 00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:56,680 online, I got to get the quarterback, got to get the 1091 00:52:56,680 --> 00:52:59,040 online, got to find the got to find everything really. 1092 00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,280 But at least they can bypass that. 1093 00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,240 There's no way they're taking alignment in the first round 1094 00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:06,720 with their pick or Indies pick. I don't even think they're doing 1095 00:53:06,720 --> 00:53:08,320 it in the second round. They don't need to. 1096 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,480 You got to get another receiver, got to get a linebacker, got to 1097 00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:12,360 get a safety, got to find a quarterback. 1098 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,000 Eventually, though, I think they do that in free agency. 1099 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,360 Probably Bersett. You hearing that? 1100 00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,640 Whatever, it's fine. You know, he's fine, you know, 1101 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:24,680 transient, but a good pro and good stop gap, you know, 1102 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:26,640 whatever. But at least if you have the 1103 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:29,960 other elements like a defense and like an online, you're going 1104 00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,080 to have some competitive football and you won't be out of 1105 00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,080 it by by Halloween. And and that's got to be the 1106 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:35,880 goal. That's how you start a culture, 1107 00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,880 play meaningful games deeper into the year, then pick it back 1108 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,680 up the next year and this and that take the next step. 1109 00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,720 And if you, if you do it right, which I think Muji will, well, 1110 00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:49,320 then you'll win. The problem is to wrap that up, 1111 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:51,120 Woody, and Woody's never going to change. 1112 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,840 He's just, he is useless. He is horrible. 1113 00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:57,720 He is the worst owner of any team that I have ever rooted for 1114 00:53:57,720 --> 00:54:00,440 in my life. That includes George, who was 1115 00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,480 great ultimately, but George at his absolute worst when he was 1116 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,800 suspended. That includes Dolan, who we 1117 00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,720 couldn't stand. Now we're fairly apathetic. 1118 00:54:08,720 --> 00:54:11,560 Hey, Dolan's doing a good job. Maybe Ranger fans are unhappy 1119 00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:12,920 with Dolan. How about that trade too? 1120 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,840 Maybe Ranger fans are unhappy with Dolan because they're just 1121 00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,240 they're a disaster. I mean, the Rangers are soft. 1122 00:54:19,240 --> 00:54:21,240 I mean, they get punked every night against the Islanders. 1123 00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,040 They just traded a very interesting player. 1124 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,120 The return is awful. They're going nowhere. 1125 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:29,000 Reboot terrible, just terrible. Rangers are a joke. 1126 00:54:29,240 --> 00:54:32,280 So I know Ranger fans, although they're more unhappy with Drury, 1127 00:54:32,560 --> 00:54:34,440 but Nick fans, I got no problem with James Dolan. 1128 00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:37,000 Nicks are good. Nicks, he's cutting the check. 1129 00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:39,800 He's keeping his nose out of it. Woody can't help himself. 1130 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,640 And it's it's just it's the worst. 1131 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,640 It is absolutely the worst. All right, I'm going to get to 1132 00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,680 that stuff more thoroughly. I'm not going to get to the 1133 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:49,920 draft now. I appreciate that, JK, but I 1134 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,960 mean, I will listen. I do like the linebacker, Reese. 1135 00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,360 I mean, how do you not like the defensive end for Miami Baines? 1136 00:54:56,400 --> 00:54:58,280 There's obviously a lot of players, but there's going to be 1137 00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:00,280 a lot of content about that. I'm not doing it now. 1138 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,400 A final thought here. So this started to float around 1139 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:05,640 yesterday. To me, it's very simple. 1140 00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,520 So, you know, we talk a lot about the Yankees trading either 1141 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:15,120 Jones or Dominguez and I believe eventually Jones will be dealt. 1142 00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:16,320 I just don't know where he's going to play. 1143 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,520 I don't even know where Dominguez is going to play, but 1144 00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,560 at least I know Dominguez. At least you know, floor is a 1145 00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,880 functional major leaguer Now. Maybe Jones has more upside. 1146 00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:28,960 Could play center feel better than for sure, 40% strikeout 1147 00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:30,000 rate. I'm just not banking on this 1148 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:31,160 guy. Get it done in the major 1149 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,440 leagues. Either way, the a lot of the 1150 00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:36,960 trades for the young guys like it's that energy is kind of 1151 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,480 toward the Yankees duo right now. 1152 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,960 Yesterday, a lot of traction, the pirates, maybe some other 1153 00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:48,680 teams Beatty or Vientos and the thought is and substantiated to 1154 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:50,360 what degree I want to be responsible. 1155 00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,480 You know, I'm not saying it's I think will Salmon had who's very 1156 00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:55,560 good did some great work. The athletic Will's been 1157 00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:56,720 crushing it. Don't know him. 1158 00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,080 So that's just a respectful pop to him. 1159 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:03,400 He really did he I mean free agency will Salmon crushed it. 1160 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,880 So I trust him, right? And I know he had the report 1161 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:10,040 about the Vientos that Beatty thing and the Pirates, right. 1162 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:12,680 Not that it's going to happen, but there's there's interest. 1163 00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:16,480 If I'm the Mets and and I'm looking at trading one of those 1164 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,800 two guys, there's no way in hell I'm trading Brett Beatty. 1165 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,000 I'm not trading him. You could take Vientos now. 1166 00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:24,800 I believe that there's a world where you really don't have to 1167 00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:28,520 trade either because I think with, you know, first base where 1168 00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:31,480 the Antos will get a little bit of run. 1169 00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,240 He can't play the outfield, he can't play third. 1170 00:56:34,240 --> 00:56:37,320 But between DH and first base against lefties, if he's 1171 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:40,440 hitting, he's an asset. And then obviously with Beatty 1172 00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,320 as a lefty stick, little second, little third, you want to sit 1173 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,920 the shutdown, get him off the speed, DH and whatever, put him 1174 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,280 in the left, put him at first. There's going to be, I think a 1175 00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:52,200 lot of runway for Brett Beatty to get around 500 at bats. 1176 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,160 And I think if he does, I think those who aren't fully sold on 1177 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,360 Beatty yet, and I kind of AM and that is a superstore, but is a 1178 00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:02,040 highly viable Major League player and a very valuable, 1179 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,360 useful tool for the roster in terms of versatility. 1180 00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:07,480 I think you'll see it. And I think those last few will 1181 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,000 be converted. But Vientos to me just has more 1182 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,520 holes in his game, can't run, can't play defense. 1183 00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,920 So again, I'm not saying that that Brett Beatty is is Jose 1184 00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,520 Reyes, but he's a better runner. He's a much, much better 1185 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,120 defender and you can put him in different spots without worrying 1186 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:24,680 about him embarrassing himself. You just can't play Marc 1187 00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,960 Deanthos at third base, not on a team that's trying to win. 1188 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,000 And I can't even put Deanthos in left field. 1189 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,040 You want to experiment with first base a little bit with 1190 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:35,880 Polanco, Fine, go for it. But that report was interesting 1191 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:40,320 and I would I would be up there. So there's three options. 1192 00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:44,440 Trey Beatty trade Vientos or trade neither or trade both, I 1193 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:46,080 guess for they're not going to trade both. 1194 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,680 So put that out of the three options. 1195 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:54,880 I will list these in order of probability slash preference for 1196 00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,160 me. All right, Number one, Number 1197 00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:05,480 one would be trade. Neither #2 would be trade 1198 00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:09,440 Vientos #3 would trade would be trade Beatty. 1199 00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,360 Like that's the last thing I'm looking to do so all right, hey, 1200 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,880 OJ Rod, a little bit of a short 1 today, man, I got to go up. 1201 00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,280 No, I'm not wearing this on the TV show. 1202 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,120 I don't even know why I'm wearing it today, but I just 1203 00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,120 pulled it out. J Rod, I got to get bouncing 1204 00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:21,960 here, buddies. We'll get those, get those clips 1205 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:25,360 out. My man J Rod has been hard at 1206 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,160 work. There he is A little shout out 1207 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,440 to the unleashed fam. Little shout out. 1208 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:33,400 How we doing Unleash Fam? Great showing out yesterday. 1209 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,480 Great showing out today. Yeah. 1210 00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,760 Hammer in those comments also, I just figured out this thing last 1211 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,680 night. Hype points. 1212 00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:45,640 I don't know excuse me knows. So I had no idea what I have 1213 00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:48,920 right. I basically and I want your full 1214 00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:52,280 interpretation before I go. So I've seen that I've gotten 1215 00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,000 some high points. I'm like, I first I had to 1216 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:55,840 figure out the messages. Now the high points, what, what 1217 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,440 am I nine years old? High points, high points. 1218 00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,080 But anyway, if this is the way it goes, then it's a good thing. 1219 00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:06,880 High points basically put you deeper into the algorithm and is 1220 00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,440 a quicker route to gain more digital traction. 1221 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,760 Is that the short version? Yeah, exactly. 1222 00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,640 Like I think so. It's like once your video 1223 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,440 reaches the leaderboards, I think the lowest one on the 1224 00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:20,240 leaderboard right now is like 300,000. 1225 00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,120 It it like gets shown to more people. 1226 00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,680 It's gets put into the YouTube trending tab. 1227 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:28,520 But then. What the hell are we hyping 1228 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:30,120 everything up? Exactly. 1229 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:34,800 So each person who's viewing has 3000 height points that they can 1230 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:38,720 use per week on a video. And so, yeah, So what you're 1231 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:41,880 able to do is just like, it's kind of a hidden component, but 1232 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,800 you just kind of hit the height points and then each person per 1233 00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:46,680 week you have like 3000. Free. 1234 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,760 So wait a SEC. So if I have basically 10,010 1235 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:53,760 people designate listen to this conversation, 10 people 1236 00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:57,440 designate their full allotment of 30,000 hype points, I would 1237 00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,560 get to the 300,000 which would get me on the leaderboard which 1238 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:01,640 would gain me more. Exactly. 1239 01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:06,600 Within like 100, within like 100 or I guess 1000 people have to 1240 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:09,640 do it, 1000 people got to do it and we're there. 1241 01:00:09,960 --> 01:00:13,000 OK, where is the hype button? Just so everybody knows, I have. 1242 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:14,520 No idea where give the big. It's a move. 1243 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:19,880 On it top of the description. OK, so when you look at the can 1244 01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:23,040 you do it while it's live or after it, afterwards, 1245 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,400 afterwards. OK, so when it's posted to BT 1246 01:00:25,400 --> 01:00:28,440 Unleashed on YouTube, you see the video, you know, you see the 1247 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:29,840 hitch, you see the thumb button, all that. 1248 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:31,480 Certainly hit the like button as well. 1249 01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,240 Subscribe all that stuff. And then I guess if you hit the 1250 01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:38,000 description like in today's show, BT dumps on Woody, BT 1251 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,080 talks about the Knicks, then like right in that vicinity is 1252 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,680 where the hype button would be. Yeah, exactly. 1253 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:45,920 Well, what the hell are we waiting for? 1254 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:47,440 That's what I'm saying. Get on it. 1255 01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,320 It's hype. Hype well have. 1256 01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,840 You hyped anything? Yesterday I use all 3000 on on 1257 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,520 the video. So now we we're hopefully this 1258 01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:57,680 show, right? Yeah. 1259 01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,960 No, last night's show. We're go. 1260 01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:02,840 We're broke for today. We gotta wait till Sunday. 1261 01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,160 We gotta wait till Sunday for the reset. 1262 01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,480 Hey, listen, I'm not. I'm not averse to hyping it 1263 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:08,960 myself. Can I hype my own video? 1264 01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:10,240 How the hell do I? Definitely can. 1265 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,040 Yeah, yeah, all. Right Hey, you heard the man you 1266 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,560 heard J rods the brains behind the operation. 1267 01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:16,880 So he's going to get us going on that. 1268 01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,480 You know that these little not not not shortcuts, because I'm 1269 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:22,240 never going to take a shortcut doing the show and it if it's 1270 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,080 there, it's not a shortcut. I look at it as an option. 1271 01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:28,120 So you may as well utilize the option and I do once know I 1272 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:29,480 can't do it today because I got to get rolling. 1273 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:33,280 Really, I do, but sometimes I'll go because as I'm doing the 1274 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,680 show, you know, we'll pop messages on the screen. 1275 01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,720 But what I like to do is sometimes I'll go back when the 1276 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,720 full panels available and I can see the entire stream for the 1277 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,640 entire show. That's my way connecting to you 1278 01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:44,240 guys. Now. 1279 01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,640 I can't respond on that because it's it's kind of dead 1280 01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,320 digitally, if you will. I'll respond on the other stuff 1281 01:01:49,320 --> 01:01:51,040 on the YouTube like comments and whatever. 1282 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,440 But I will look it to get a sense of, you know, what you 1283 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,840 thought, what you think it, what I can incorporate what was 1284 01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:00,320 popping, what was a little dry, whatever I just researched for 1285 01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:05,160 the show. And and if we can do that and I 1286 01:02:05,160 --> 01:02:07,960 do that, well, then, you know, you guys can go and do the other 1287 01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,560 stuff. And I've seen a lot of people, 1288 01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:10,640 not a lot. I shouldn't say a lot. 1289 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,960 I've seen some people in the comments say, Hey, hype it 1290 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,480 certainly like it. Or hey, we've got yesterday 900 1291 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,520 and basically almost 1000 people watching live at once, which is 1292 01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,800 a good number for a channel that's just getting off the 1293 01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:23,680 ground. It's really good. 1294 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,800 Proud of that. And somebody was like, Hey, you 1295 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,720 know, X amount of likes, but X amount of viewers, but X of only 1296 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,440 only this amount of likes. So you want the ratio, I'm going 1297 01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:33,520 to listen. I'm not begging to do what you 1298 01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,640 want to do, but that stuff matters. 1299 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:37,520 It really does. So if you can hype it, if you 1300 01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,120 can like it, if you can sub seriously, I mean sub, That's 1301 01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:43,560 the base of that to me to when you subscribe to the channel, 1302 01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,480 that's like the old school getting in the car, just just 1303 01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:49,440 putting the station on. Like that's the at least coming 1304 01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,680 into the home. Like if you don't subscribe, 1305 01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,440 then you're really not supporting the show. 1306 01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:55,840 And I don't want you to hype something or I don't want you to 1307 01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,880 like something if it's not hype or like worthy. 1308 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,120 If you think it is, do it all right upstairs. 1309 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,560 There's got to change, got to shower, got to hit the road, got 1310 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,480 to get out to St. John's tomorrow by the Super 1311 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,160 Bowl. Obviously we'll see what's going 1312 01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:09,760 on with Giannis. 3:00 PM Eastern today. 1313 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,400 Obviously, if the Knicks get him, which they won't, if they 1314 01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:17,120 did, once I get back from Queens, I'll fire it back up. 1315 01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,280 I'll be in the car coming home. So I'll just come right to my 1316 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:21,200 office. I'll go live from there. 1317 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,600 But I don't anticipate that. But again, spread the word, like 1318 01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,800 it, sub it, get out there, hype it, do all that stuff. 1319 01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:29,280 I appreciate you guys. I know you really enjoyed me and 1320 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,200 Sal chopping it up yesterday, as did I. 1321 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:34,800 And and you know, he and I were talking even more yesterday 1322 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,520 about being able to collaborate on some stuff. 1323 01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:41,240 So I don't know what it is yet. Don't know the frequency, but 1324 01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,520 I'm certainly open to it and, and I believe he is as well. 1325 01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:45,640 So that was that was a blast, man. 1326 01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,320 You got that chemistry. You got to ride it out a little 1327 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:48,680 bit more. That's my opinion. 1328 01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:51,680 But it takes 2 to dance and, and seems like Sal is a little bit 1329 01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:54,040 more willing to do that. Not that he was averse to it, 1330 01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,080 but he wants to get his own thing going, which I fully 1331 01:03:56,080 --> 01:03:59,120 understand and fully respect. So have a great Thursday. 1332 01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,200 I am out tomorrow at 10 or unless Giannis comes to the 1333 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,840 Knicks, which I do not think will happen. 1334 01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:05,720 See you guys tomorrow. Bye, bye. 1335 01:04:05,720 --> 01:04:08,280 This is are you listening? Can you hear me?
