You know, I've talked about 18 00:00:54,800 --> 00:01:00,040 social media and how much I hate it, at least aspects of it. 19 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:06,640 But I got to tell you, it was, it was really, really, it was 20 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,760 really awesome. It was really awesome. 21 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,640 I'm in a great spot today. Friday was tough. 22 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,920 I'm not going to lie to you, by the way, Daddy, are you going to 23 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,440 run down the whole fucking resume here? 24 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,200 I mean, you want to tell everybody how many points I 25 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,440 averaged the CYO?

It's not going to happen. 31 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,360 That's not what I'm about. I love WFNI, got a lot of love 32 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,640 for WFN. Do I think the WFN made a 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,440 mistake? Yeah, I absolutely do. 34 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,840 I have no problem saying that. But it doesn't matter. 35 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,480 I don't own WFENI don't FANI don't get to make those 36 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:55,360 decisions. You know, so I watched, I 37 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,800 watched the the final episode, the final segment right from 38 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,920 Friday. And you know, I I knew going 39 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,760 into that that it was going to be brutal because as all of you 40 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,160 know by now, my mission was to get the WF fan. 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,800 That's it. That was my mission and not that 42 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,480 that's where I would get and then I would just chill. 43 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,120 I, I think you guys know that, that I'm all about energy and 44 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,760 being locked in and being passionate and being up to 45 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,120 speed. And, and that's, that's not 46 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,240 going to change. If anything, I'm on more of a 47 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,800 mission now. I am on more of a mission now to 48 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,000 build this thing out, to build this thing out with you and to 49 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,320 really do it in, in a way that quite frankly, I, I really 50 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,800 didn't know that that I would, that I would ever do. 51 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,760 I was always curious about doing a YouTube show. 52 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,480 I'm like, I don't think now is the time and just before I get 53 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,160 back to Friday and then I'm going to jump into a bunch of 54 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,360 stuff and yes, this will be daily right around 10 and I'll 55 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,240 let you know, you know, each day 10/10/15 Last night, I'm sitting 56 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,760 down here with my son who's 10 years old, right? 57 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,080 And he's like, he's like, you go to the YouTube studio, then you 58 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,040 click content. I got these freaking notes here 59 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,320 to make sure I can even get on the air. 60 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,680 And then and then he made me nervous. 61 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,520 He's like, he's like dad, there's this thing called super 62 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,440 chats. I'm like, what I, I let me just 63 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,200 get on the freaking air, please, buddy. 64 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,880 And he's like, well, you know, if people want to support you, 65 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,680 I, I, I, they've already supported me by showing me the 66 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,080 love, right. So that was funny as I lift up 67 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,480 the curtain to get this thing going. 68 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:28,400 My, my main objective on Friday. And you know, it's, it was hard 69 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,520 to get certain things out, but I, I am very proud of the way, 70 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,840 the way I finished my run at WFANI. 71 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,840 Think the easy thing would have been to tap out. 72 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,840 You know what they're, they're making, which is their right, 73 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,920 That's obviously their right and they're moving on and you know, 74 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,800 off Screw that. And that's, that's not the way 75 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,160 that I'm wired. That's not the way that I'm 76 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,800 built. I'm built to finish the race. 77 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,920 This is the new race and I can't wait. 78 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,280 But when I watched that last segment, I, I, I got to tell you 79 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,640 the total, total transparency here. 80 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:06,120 I have never in my life felt so like so vulnerable, which I'm 81 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:12,840 fine with, but like, I felt like time was moving 1000 times 82 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,560 slower than it usually moves because you got to try to put 83 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,640 yourself in my shoes here, you know, you know that you have all 84 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,680 right, 2, two final weeks and then you have another. 85 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,880 And obviously with Sal. Now I'll say a little bit about 86 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,000 the a Rod party on Friday. On Saturday, it was Sal's suit 87 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,000 looked good by the way, I was clowning, but it looked pretty 88 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:29,600 good. It looked good. 89 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,840 So I do the final week with Sal. Then I got a week by my and you 90 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:36,000 know, each day you, you kind of know all right, closer to the 91 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,880 end and, and there's a lot of emotions that obviously come 92 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,160 with that. And the last segment, Gosh, 93 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,320 shit, this is going to be, this is going to be really hard. 94 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,440 So as I, as I ran through a lot of the things that I've done, 95 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,560 and it was by no means to brag. Oh, look at my resume. 96 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,480 I think you guys, I hope you guys know that I'm not about 97 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,320 that. But as I was, as I was running 98 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,200 through certain things, you know, calling a couple of the 99 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,400 Yankee games, which I never thought my wildest dreams, I'm 100 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,680 going to get to the Yankees in a minute. 101 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,920 I ever thought I would be able to do, you know, called me knit 102 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,200 games, which I certainly never thought that I would do. 103 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,920 You know, all the all the St. John's games at the Garden 104 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,720 Biggies tournaments, you know, shooting a show for Discovery, 105 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,160 being in a movie, working with Stephen, A national show. 106 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,040 I wasn't listening that to brag. Clearly that was my bridge to 107 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,440 get to what I wanted to say is I was signing off and I did. 108 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,640 I don't know how, you know, didn't really come out as as 109 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,600 clean as I want because I was choked up. 110 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,720 I was choked up. And now I'm going to tell you 111 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,920 one thing about this channel that is absolutely going to be, 112 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,320 you know, it woven into the DNA of this show and this channel is 113 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,240 that you're going to get that that real stuff. 114 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,600 Now, if I'm if I'm if I'm tearing up every show, then 115 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,720 something went seriously wrong and it's probably thought to 116 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,000 pull the plug. That's not going to happen. 117 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,600 But I needed to communicate, not even really to me, I needed to 118 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,800 communicate because, you know, that was so I that was, it was a 119 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,440 respect and an affirmation that I was definitely chasing. 120 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,240 There's no doubt. Like when I conjured up this 121 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,440 broadcasting dream after I knew I wasn't good enough to be a 122 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,480 baseball player. I'm like, I, I got to get the WF 123 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,720 fan. I absolutely have to. 124 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,600 That's a mission. And I did and it was awesome and 125 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,960 I really truly enjoyed it. I've got a lot of respect for 126 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,160 everybody in that building. Even though, again, if I ran it, 127 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,560 I wouldn't have made that BT and Sal would still be on the air. 128 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,920 It's for damn sure. Show was phenomenal, but it had 129 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,600 juice, you know, But that's that's not really the point. 130 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,200 I just kind of want to get the FAN stuff out of the way. 131 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,080 And now I start doing my own thing and like, out I was even 132 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,280 when I left the studio, I was, I was choked up. 133 00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:51,600 There were a couple of people. Yeah, Loogie came over, a few of 134 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,240 my bosses, couple of salespeople. 135 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,280 And I was just like, I was almost at a trance, man. 136 00:06:56,280 --> 00:06:59,080 And I didn't really, to be honest, I didn't really want to 137 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,240 leave the building at that moment. 138 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,000 I wanted to soak it in because, and I'll still do some shows on 139 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,480 the fan. I've got a great relationship 140 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,000 with them. But I knew that that part of my 141 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,600 life, that chapter was shut. That was it. 142 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,760 The book was closed. And I remember taking like a bit 143 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,000 of a lap around the floor, just fucking wandering around 144 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,400 aimlessly basically. And I'm like, all right, check, 145 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,560 you did it. Let's go. 146 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,240 And when I walked out of 345, you know, I probably had no job 147 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,960 34500 texts and and I was just like, all right, it's let's get 148 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,520 in the car and let's get home. Let's go get home to the family. 149 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,680 And now let's start plotting out out what's next here. 150 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:47,280 So just to reiterate once more, I really, really felt that love 151 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,560 and it meant the absolute world to me, man. 152 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,840 So with that being said, I am in my basement right now. 153 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,960 If you told me that I'd be in my early 50s working in my 154 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,200 basement, which by the way, this is my poker room, which I 155 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,560 haven't played in a while. This is my so it's, it's and I 156 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,720 say it's the basement, so I could be nice to the rest of the 157 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,880 family. It's it's the man cave. 158 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,040 It's my spot. And, and I've got my poker 159 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,040 alcove here, which is where I'm and then basically out there is 160 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,200 I'll show you at some point, you know, Tees and bats and balls 161 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,920 and weights and heavy balls and all sorts of training stuff that 162 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,480 that I use primarily primarily with my son, a little bit with 163 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,560 my daughter. All right, so that's where I am, 164 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:31,720 but if you told me that I'd be here at this age with, you know, 165 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:38,320 no definable income coming in, I think I'd be scared shit 166 00:08:38,799 --> 00:08:40,559 shitless.

Back to the affirmation thing 177 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,120 that I said before, but I really had two choices. 178 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:16,520 Like, all right, you can, you know, redesign this poker space 179 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,280 and and make it look sleek and make it look modern. 180 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,240 By the way, how about the I'm TD off. 181 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,080 I'm actually I'm I'm really not pissed off. 182 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,840 Actually, I'm actually really excited and galvanized. 183 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:33,720 So to either build this out or to just jump on the air, you 184 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,800 know, open up my laptop, this new world, which is not really 185 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,640 quite that new and a little bit new for me, this aspect, but not 186 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,840 new. Fire it up, go live and, and 187 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,600 just start doing what I do and start talking. 188 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000 And to me, that was the route that I was always going to take. 189 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,440 Like part of me is like, man, how are you going to launch this 190 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,360 show and not really have a cool set and, and, and, and really 191 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,800 things that match my standard, my standard, my personal 192 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,640 standard of expectation that'll come, that'll come. 193 00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,960 I'm not worried about that right now. 194 00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:03,960 OK, What I am worried about and what I'm focused on is us and 195 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,240 you. And now here's the other thing 196 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,440 too. This is this is going to be 197 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,080 yeah, I know you got to invest in a better here come here come 198 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,880 all the producers. I know understood better camera. 199 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,680 I get it guys. That's why I just said what I 200 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:21,280 said. Obviously there's no doubt about 201 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,000 that. It's not going to happen 202 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,400 overnight. It's not going to and I don't 203 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,960 need it to happen overnight. I just got to I just got to bang 204 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,120 around some stuff with you. So I have laid the foundation 205 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400 unleashed now that I won't do. I'm not just going to, you know, 206 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,200 drop F bombs grotubitously. Like to me, that's, that lacks 207 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,360 intelligence. You know, I that's part of my 208 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,920 vernacular, you know, from where I am from, like you just kind of 209 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,760 grow up cursing in the streets, whatever. 210 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,000 But if it fits the mood, you're going to hear some stuff that 211 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,880 you could hear on the radio. But I'm not just going to try to 212 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,440 insert it. I'm going to be me. 213 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:56,160 And when it's natural and it fits, you'll hear it. 214 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,680 All right, now, first of all, let's get to the Yankees. 215 00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:00,760 I want to start with the New York Yankees here and I'll read 216 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,760 some of the questions. Fireman, Trust me, I'm learning 217 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,520 to juggle this stuff. Don't worry about that. 218 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,280 So everybody's ranting and raving about the Yankees, which 219 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,880 which I understand, you know, Hal's telling you all the money 220 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,360 and and I know Boone was was interviewed the other day. 221 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,080 He's like, I really haven't spoken to Bellinger yet. 222 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,080 And I'll talk to him hopefully by the holidays. 223 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,480 Boone pick up the phone. Like that's the one thing I 224 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,600 don't understand. And I know that you want to give 225 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,320 people space, but like, if, if I'm Aaron Boone, I'd be like, 226 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,640 yo, belly, we need you. Yo belly coming back, Belly, 227 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,160 what's the deal? Hey, you know, we love you, man. 228 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,480 Go do your thing. Go go talk to who you have to 229 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,160 talk to. But make sure at the end of the 230 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,880 day, you come back and you give us a chance to, to make sure you 231 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,440 remain a Yankee. And I guess you'll do that 232 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,440 before Christmas myself. I wouldn't wait. 233 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,520 Like I wouldn't fuck around. Like I really wouldn't. 234 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,360 It takes one rogue office 11 rogue golfer to come in and say, 235 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,480 all right, hey, we're going to give you 7 years or eight years, 236 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,200 which for Bellinger is insane, but you guys know what I mean, 237 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,880 Like Baltimore with Pete, Hey, five years bets foreign doing 238 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,960 that. All right, five years, 155. 239 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,840 See ya, I'm out. So, but the one thing that I 240 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:06,200 don't understand from Yankee fans, I mean, I do, but I, I 241 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,840 guess I would just object to it. Can you just relax for a second? 242 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,400 Can you honestly the last couple of years of of New York Yankee 243 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:19,880 talk is it's it's like it's kind of lost its way. 244 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,440 It's the same regurgitated stuff. 245 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:27,400 Cashman sucks fire boon nobody around Judge, which is 246 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,800 absolutely true. That part guys, can I present to 247 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,160 you the very real possibility of a flex that would would really 248 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,640 send shockwaves throughout baseball, which by the way, the 249 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,600 Yankees can still do understand this. 250 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,440 If the Yankees signed Bellinger, if they resigned him back and 251 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,480 they get am I the Japanese stud pitcher? 252 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,160 Which, you know, I did see a story over the weekend, which is 253 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,120 a little disconcerting that they there's no plans to meet with 254 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,040 them. Well, well, that I that I don't 255 00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,240 understand like you, you and I know the Yankees are going to be 256 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,080 buttoned up with this, but how is he not on that? 257 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,000 He's got to sign by January 2nd. Like that's got to be done. 258 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,600 So let's have the meeting. Let's have the dinner, give him 259 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,600 the jersey. Tanaka Matsui, let's go make 260 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,280 this man feel the love. And then the other move. 261 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,040 I was talking about this on the fan the other day. 262 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,840 The other move. That is a massive power move 263 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,200 right now. This is going to take how 264 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,640 getting out of his comfort zone, busting out of his little 265 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,920 financial cocoon, which I hope you'll do. 266 00:13:25,560 --> 00:13:29,000 Sign Bichette. Can somebody just do it? 267 00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:32,800 So if the Yankees get Bellinger, if they get a MY and they get 268 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,880 Bichette, let me tell you what happens #1 when it's all said 269 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,040 and done and the guys come back healthy, Cole Roldan, etcetera, 270 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,680 the Yankees pitching staff will be not the best in baseball. 271 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,640 It will be by far the best in baseball. 272 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,360 And I would submit to you, I think it's got a chance to be 273 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,480 the best this century in all the baseball if you try now again, 274 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,440 I'm not talking April May guys. I'm talking when everybody's 275 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,160 back and their reps are are there and they're healthy and 276 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,800 they're feeling themselves. The the very real potential for 277 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:09,400 the New York Yankees to trot out a rotation of fried Cole 278 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,560 Schlittler, Amai Rodon is right in front of us. 279 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,000 So I understand while the Dodgers are doing this and the 280 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,840 Orioles are doing this and the Red Sox are doing this and every 281 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,000 even the Rays are doing some stuff tweaking, right. 282 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,520 The Yankees are bringing back Rosario, bringing back some who 283 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,120 I didn't really want back. You know that. 284 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,840 And they're really not doing much about. 285 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,600 So it looks like they're going to get ready to roll the same 286 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,640 thing out. But it wouldn't be the same 287 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,000 thing if you do what I just proposed. 288 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,920 And the see, to me it was, it's not about Kyle Tucker being and 289 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,880 they're not, there's no chance they're going to get him, not 290 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,600 about Tucker. And for me, it really maybe a 291 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,560 year ago it was, but it hasn't been for months. 292 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,560 If you've listened to me, the power move from an offensive 293 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,080 perspective is bichette #1 he just smokes the ball. 294 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,360 He he, he just he is a hitter and and the Yankees are very 295 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,760 aware of what of what their, you know, 234 year plan downstream 296 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,280 would be, which I understand because they're trying to avoid 297 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,880 repeats of like the Hicks contract where DJ Lemahieu and 298 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,080 obviously Stanton, where you've got these deals that are just, 299 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,720 you know, players languishing no longer the same guy and you got 300 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,080 to pay them and obviously now creates a log jam at certain 301 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,240 positions. Well, if you sign Bichette, 302 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,560 first of all, you don't have and I know he's not a very good 303 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,400 defensive shortstop. Trust me, I know the numbers. 304 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,240 You know, I love my I love the baseball Samad stuff, I love the 305 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,280 analytics, but you'll get a little bit more of here, by the 306 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,440 way, for the intelligent baseball fan, I'm not going to 307 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,120 smash you over the head with it, but you know, I had to pick and 308 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,720 choose on the fan. You know, you don't want to 309 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,840 bombard people with numbers, but I could do that a little bit 310 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,880 more here and when it's pertinent, I will. 311 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,680 So if you have Bichette at shortstyle as a starter, well, 312 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,040 guess what? You don't have to start 313 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,440 Caballero, all right, who I love coming off the bench as a super 314 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,960 sub. And now when you start to look 315 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,080 more macro and envision the Yankees, you know, blueprint for 316 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,640 a couple of years down the road, while he's still got to prove 317 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,120 that he's really the real deal, talking about Lombard. 318 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,920 Because what could happen if the Yankees were to be so bold to do 319 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,080 this and get him in here? Opening Day shortstop, you got 320 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,240 the shit. And then when Ryan McMahon's 321 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,880 contract is up in two years at $16,000,000 per year, well, 322 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,200 guess what? Now you can kick Michette to 323 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,200 third base. And then you could have Lombard 324 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,960 play shortstop. And then obviously by now, 325 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,520 Yankees should and will move on from Jazz. 326 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:32,840 Chisholm will not be here long term. 327 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,400 You could book that. They're not giving him that 328 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,000 contract. And then if Volpe earns it now, 329 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,320 Volpe, who based on a weak arm, is better equipped to play 330 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,760 second base. Think about that infield you got 331 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,320 now. All right. 332 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,600 I mean, ideally you have a great fielding first baseman like they 333 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,400 did with Tashara and with Tino, who could pick it. 334 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,720 Obviously Mattingly, who was the best before that, but they 335 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,600 didn't win with Donnie in terms of the championship. 336 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,120 Like that to me is something that is incredibly doable. 337 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,400 He's just got to have the guts and he got to have the financial 338 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,800 appetite to do it. Just do it. 339 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:03,800 Because right now what we're looking at, you're looking at 340 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,280 Rice at first, Jazz at 2nd, Caballero Volpe Short when he's 341 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,160 right, McMahon at third, obviously a platoon with 342 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,160 Dominguez and Jones and Grisham and center and Aaron Judge and 343 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,599 right. And you're going to have Austin 344 00:17:14,599 --> 00:17:18,400 Wells behind the plate and you can have Giancarlo Stanton DH. 345 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:23,119 And like right now the rotation would be Fried Schlittler 346 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:29,120 Warren, I'm saying to start the year Yarborough like you've got 347 00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:31,600 some work to do as Gerard Cole and Rodon heel. 348 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,800 So I I understand the trepidation and the reluctance 349 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,440 to buy into what the Yankees are trying to do because quite 350 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,960 frankly, they haven't done a damn thing. 351 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:46,920 I understand that right. But I'm going to use the word 352 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,720 lane. But the lane is there. 353 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,520 The ability to do that is right in front of you. 354 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,800 And now all of a sudden, and and you know, on this, on this 355 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,880 coldish, that's not that bad, but December day, Christmas 356 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,400 coming up the holidays, it's it's a little difficult to an 357 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,840 extent to put your mind into forget about April to May, June, 358 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,880 July, August Pennant stretch, October. 359 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,200 But I just presented you a blueprint where the Yankees 360 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,960 would have a banger at shortstop, they'd have a sick 361 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,160 lockdown staff. And if they bring back 362 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:24,360 Bellinger, I mean, now, I mean, now you can even do more stuff 363 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,840 and trade either Dominguez or Jones, get some bullpen help, 364 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,440 get another starter, whatever it might be. 365 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,760 So, you know, I, I, I do, I think that this is going to 366 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,880 happen or no, Now it's the reality. 367 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,880 The now it's the reality part of the conversation. 368 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,320 I don't, but I'm telling you what I would do if I was the 369 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,720 Yankees. Obviously, bring back Bellinger, 370 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,560 go get Bichette, stop messing around with a my. 371 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,120 He wants to be here. Get him here. 372 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,000 All right? And the other thing with a my 373 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,080 and it's not going to be cheap, but when you sign a Japanese 374 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,440 player, you know, not all of it, but the ability to monetize him 375 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,200 differently than American players. 376 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,760 I mean, the branding opportunities is there. 377 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,360 So that's going to offset some of the some of the some of the, 378 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,960 you know, contract that you give him. 379 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,920 It just really is. So all these comments are moving 380 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:10,560 fast. Wow. 381 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,440 All right, So I guess that's what my son was talking about. 382 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,000 What you're saying. Maybe don't have it on 30 383 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,320 seconds. Maybe get it on a minute. 384 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,800 That's that's some Yankee stuff here. 385 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,560 You know, Lombard down the Pike, Bichette little stop gap and 386 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,760 shortstop. McMahon's contract is up. 387 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,760 Boom, Bichette the third, Volpe the second, and now you got 388 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,840 yourself you got yourself a collection of of mashers and a 389 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,800 rotation that now I know there's some variables with with Garrett 390 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,320 Cole. Is he going to be Garrett Cole? 391 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,200 Let me ask you a question. Why wouldn't he be Garrett Cole? 392 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:44,800 Like I don't understand that. Why not? 393 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,040 You know, you know, he, he Tommy John surgery, big deal. 394 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,640 I mean, how many pitchers have Tommy John surgery and come 395 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,880 back? See, if anything, I think at 396 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,040 this point in somebody like Garrett Cole's career, with all 397 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,480 the miles, all the reps, all the taxing on his body, not just the 398 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,080 shoulder, but all the joints, the torque, the, the legs, the 399 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,040 hips. I mean, to deliver a baseball 400 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,560 consistently 9798, I mean, you're putting your body through 401 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,240 a meat grinder. So as long as the elbow. 402 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,000 Is fully healed, which clearly it will be. 403 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,520 I mean, I had Tommy John surgery. 404 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,240 I throw batting practice basically every day. 405 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,480 I'm a broken down never was baseball player. 406 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:28,160 He'll be fine. So I, I, I think that the the 407 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,440 freed coal and then you throw in the wild card, not even really a 408 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,520 wild card, but I guess I'd stick with wild card that that that 409 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:41,880 that Schlittner variable. You know, let's see what he 410 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,000 comes out and who he is to start now. 411 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,480 He's not going to give you 32 starts like he gave you against 412 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,880 the Red Sox in the playoffs. Otherwise he'd be freaking. 413 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,560 He'd be Roger Clemens, Pedro, you know, Warren Spahn, Tom 414 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,360 Sieve or any other great you want to mention wrapped up in 415 00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:58,320 one, you know. So let's temper the expectations 416 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,280 a bit. But you can then slot him with 417 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,040 the with the with the two horses up top. 418 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:07,200 You can slot him in a spot whether it's three, you know, or 419 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,560 4 if you get a my or you want to keep rode on three put splitter 420 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:14,080 4 or a my 4:00 and then slither 5, whatever the machination 421 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,240 might be. You then will have him going 422 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,400 against other teams back of the rotation. 423 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,760 And if the Yankees do you know what I said they should do with 424 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,640 these bats here, know you're going to score 6-7 runs on most 425 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,320 nights against shitty teams, but you're going to have locked down 426 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:28,520 arms. You're going to it's going to be 427 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,680 really, really interesting. Now that's the that's the good 428 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,240 possibilities. Let me give you the alternate 429 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,400 universe where the Yankees do nothing. 430 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:45,080 Now, that simply can't happen, you know, under my watch, if I'm 431 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,880 running the Yankees for, for if that happens, that is beyond 432 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,440 embarrassment. It's beyond unacceptable. 433 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,240 Like you, you, you got to you got to try something different, 434 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,240 guys, you have to. But let's just say that the 435 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,560 Bellinger contract offers get toward the irresponsible side 436 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,480 and they don't want to acquiesce to that, which honestly, for a 437 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,880 lot of baseball reasons, I would understand and I would cosign if 438 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,320 it was like 7 and then irresponsible AAV or 8. 439 00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:13,560 If it's eight, just keep them. You're not getting that. 440 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,040 But I'm just saying, and he's not here, let's say that. 441 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:23,800 Well, now you got a situation where you are once again relying 442 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,800 and you do Bichette, which I don't think that they will. 443 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,160 I mean, now you're trotting out a lineup with some strikeouts 444 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,120 and McMahon and guys starting the season who are really good 445 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:34,400 bench players, but not, you know, the more utility types of 446 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,080 super Subs like Caballero. You know, Austin Wells has to 447 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,080 show growth, which I think he can, but until he does, he, you 448 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,720 know, he hasn't shown it. You know what, I've been on 449 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,440 Grisham banging 34 home runs again. 450 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,720 I probably would not, you know, and here's the scariest aspect 451 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,440 of it all. I mean, you know, last year, 452 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,800 Aaron, I know, I know the the elbow issue, but Aaron Judge the 453 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,800 last couple years, knock on wood, has gotten a lot of it. 454 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,560 Bats, man. God forbid, you know, wherever 455 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,120 with with without him for a month or so, or, God forbid, 456 00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:04,640 worse. Well, you know, and there's no 457 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,240 Bellinger and there's no Bouchette. 458 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,440 Then the Yankees are cooked. Then that's not a playoff team. 459 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,920 I don't give a shit how good the rotation is. 460 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,560 They're just not going to be a playoff team. 461 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,480 And that just can't happen. Not with seven wall, not with 462 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,640 seven playoff teams. The additional wild card, it's 463 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:17,920 embarrassing. So you can't have it. 464 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,120 All right, That's some of the Yankee stuff. 465 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,600 The the Mets stuff. It's it's different. 466 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,160 Oh, before I get there, one of the things that I'm working on 467 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,480 and it's not going to happen overnight again, is to be able 468 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,240 to take calls here. That is something that I am. 469 00:23:36,360 --> 00:23:39,680 We're obviously beyond the exploratory phase when, when is 470 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,560 it going to be trotted out? I'm not sure there's going to be 471 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,360 some, you know, behind the scenes technical stuff that that 472 00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:47,560 I'm going to have to really focus on that I'm already 473 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,040 locking in on that. A lot of you have asked me, are 474 00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:51,560 we going to be able to take calls? 475 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,000 And that's absolutely one of the main objectives here because 476 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000 that's one of my favorite things. 477 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,120 You know, what are what are you got when getting into it with a 478 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:02,320 caller is absolutely phenomenal and being able to have that, 479 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,080 that back and forth. And I've always said, you know, 480 00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,920 just just have something to say, back it up. 481 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,760 Let's go. I'll listen to you. 482 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,520 You know, we'll exchange some points. 483 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:12,880 We'll get loud. We'll yell at the end of the 484 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:14,520 day, we'll DAP it up. We'll keep it moving. 485 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,160 I mean, that's it's not the essence of sports radio. 486 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:19,080 So I'm working on that. All right. 487 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,600 Now the Mets, the Mets is it's a different energy here. 488 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,720 It it really is a different energy, which it which I get the 489 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,480 Mets fan right now is sitting there saying, what the fuck is 490 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,920 going on with us? Like, what are we doing? 491 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,520 All right, well, I'm telling you, I'm going to tell you. 492 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,240 You just don't want to accept it. 493 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:41,680 Maybe by now you have but the initial Nimmo Diaz Pete wave of 494 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,800 hurt, which I understand that. I've always said that. 495 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,360 I've always got that from a sentimental point of view. 496 00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:48,360 Not to mention they're they're really good players. 497 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,800 Certainly Pete and and Diaz Nimmo's fine, but I think you'll 498 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,400 miss him the least of the three anyway. 499 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,440 The the energy for the Mets is more 1 of confusion, where when 500 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,200 I try to parallel that to the Yankees, it's more it's more 501 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:07,000 like not I don't want certainly some anger, but almost a bit of 502 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,280 apathy in the sense that I don't think that Yankee fans in large 503 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,040 part expect a massive offseason. And why would you? 504 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,960 There's no real sign now. I just gave you what I would do. 505 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,200 Where is the Mets fan going back to when Cohen bought the team 506 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,200 and getting away from Wilpon and their cheap ways? 507 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,040 You know, new day, new Dawn, you know, the Mets fans thinking, 508 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,880 hi, we got Soto. This is just the start. 509 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,200 And then it's a complete flip. It's a complete reversal, but I 510 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,000 don't think it's like sleight of hand like suckers. 511 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,880 You know, you guys, can you set a city attendance record, City 512 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,360 field attendance record last year? 513 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,400 And I made some bank and I got me, I'm talking from Cohen's 514 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,400 perspective, and I got Metropolitan Park and I'm good. 515 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:47,320 Screw you. Whatever. 516 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,600 Hey, I gave you soda there, $750 million, whatever. 517 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,520 Now, now go away, you know, fly away. 518 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,680 No, no, I think this is a part of a greater plan, which by the 519 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,200 way is one that you should be embracing because I think it's 520 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,760 the only plan that's going to give the Mets. 521 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,400 Here's the operative word, a chance to win a World Series. 522 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:12,720 See what happened with the Mets fan is that there was this 523 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:17,400 massive transformation from, you know, the almost the jet 524 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,440 mentality, which I understand because you haven't won since 525 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,080 1986 to almost like, oh, we're the big bad ass Mets and we're 526 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,720 going to get whatever we want. Well, I mean, no, it doesn't 527 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,760 work that way because the man that you brought in and the man 528 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,960 that Cohen brought in to fix this train wreck of a franchise 529 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,560 once and for all and give it multiple year, basically a 530 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:45,040 decade of health. Not the fleeting year, not the 531 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,160 occasional wow, yay. That was So what a fun year for 532 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,400 the Mets. Oh my God. 533 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:53,440 And then you go right back to, you know, being a middling non 534 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:55,280 entity. Nobody really wants that. 535 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,880 You know, don't you want this something that Sal always said? 536 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,400 You want sustained success. You want to know that every year 537 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,320 you've got a chance when you go down to Port Saint Lucie. 538 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,200 You want to be least on paper, barring injury, whatever. 539 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,480 What are the 5-6 best teams in all the baseball? 540 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,280 You don't have to be built like the Dodgers, but you know, the 541 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,400 Dodgers and the Yankees and the Phillies, you know, and the 542 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,520 Brave, now that they're healthy, maybe one or two other teams in 543 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,200 the American League if they get their act together. 544 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,000 That's the list that you got to be on. 545 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,040 And right now you're on the exact opposite list. 546 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,240 You're on the list really right now with the roster. 547 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,320 You're on the list with the Pirates. 548 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,360 I mean, I can't even say the Reds, because the Reds are 549 00:27:34,360 --> 00:27:36,400 better than you guys. You're on the list with. 550 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,720 You're not quite the Rockies, Jeez. 551 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,560 But you're on a different list that you don't want to be on. 552 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,560 But to be on that list is is fine for now. 553 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,440 Because I think it's going to take you to the list that you 554 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,800 crave, that you covet, that you just desperately have called us 555 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:55,200 about and ranted and raved and hoped for that this is this is 556 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,680 the step to get there. It just happens to be a very 557 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:05,280 painful 1. So Pete, your boy now, it's 558 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,240 funny. I'm looking at this. 559 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,160 You can't see it because it's to my left. 560 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:14,560 So let me see, he's 10. I guess when he was 5, Santa 561 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,040 brought this. It's like cardboard, but it kind 562 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,560 of looks like pseudo wood, fake wood, right? 563 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:27,360 So it looks like a locker and, and I remember, you know, I had 564 00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:28,880 to, I had to help Santa put it together. 565 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,160 Obviously things Santa's very busy on Christmas Eve. 566 00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:32,920 So I said I got you Santa, I'll help you. 567 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,960 I'll help build it and I'll, you know, I'll leave it, you know, 568 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,880 we'll connect and then you can put it under the tree when you 569 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,720 come and do what you got to do. Anyway, it's a locker, right? 570 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:45,240 And it's a New York Yankee locker with like, this metal 571 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,440 bar. And when he was when he was five 572 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,280 and six and not, not, not, not not really 7, but those first 573 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,560 two years, like, he would hang his T-ball jersey on it, his 574 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,720 hats and his little glove and his wristbands and all that 575 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,000 stuff, right? And then eventually just morphed 576 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,320 into, you know, collecting other workout equipment. 577 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,880 And now it's broken because balls have smashed against it. 578 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,880 Actually, it's honestly, I look at it, actually get sad. 579 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,840 It's probably got to get rid of it pretty soon anyway. 580 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,520 I say that about Pete because I understand what it's like to 581 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,880 have a child. And I was one of these myself. 582 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:21,640 When you, when one of your kids loves a player so much, like so 583 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,880 many of you and your kids love Pete, Diaz is different. 584 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,480 Diaz is better at his job than Pete is at his. 585 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,120 But Diaz has been here a couple of years, not threatened by the 586 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,240 net Mets. It's different when that 587 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:37,160 player's no longer here it is. That is a tough talk to have 588 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,920 with your child. Like when you break the news to 589 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,840 your 6789 year old son or daughter that's a devout Mets 590 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,280 fan who loves the polar bear and you like, hey, you know, Pete's 591 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,560 gone. Pete went to the Orioles. 592 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,680 Who the hell wants to have that conversation? 593 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,280 So I get it, you know that I get it because you, you've heard me, 594 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,720 you know, you know how I value that, those childhood memories. 595 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,560 And that's a big part of, of who I am. 596 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,720 Like that's a, a very meaningful part of, of how I'm built. 597 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,760 So I'm always respectful of that. 598 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,440 But what do you think would be more enjoyable for that 789 year 599 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,960 old son or daughter? You know, going to Citi Field 600 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,880 and watching the Mets win 8889 games, you know, maybe being a 601 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,240 playoff team, getting bounced, you know, maybe winning a series 602 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,200 and then getting bounced, whatever it might be, and never 603 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,600 winning the World Series. But hey, they got Pete. 604 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,800 Or eventually that remorse and that sadness and that, that, 605 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,040 that tinge in the in the baseball soul dissipates. 606 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,160 And you're at a parade with your 789 year old son or daughter and 607 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,800 you're watching cars go by like older Met fans did with Gary and 608 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,880 Keith and Doc and those boys. You tell me, you know, now 609 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,160 there's no guarantee. There's also, I guess the 610 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,280 trapdoor would be, well, Pete's gone and you never get the World 611 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,800 Series parade. And it's just that it's equal 612 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,800 part suckiness, which I get. But this team was not going to 613 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,560 win anything. They just weren't going to win 614 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,600 anything, man. I think deep down, many of you 615 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,200 know, you know, when you know something, you just know 616 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,880 something deep down. But like, you almost don't want 617 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,840 to. Like, I'll get to that. 618 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:12,320 Whatever, I'll get to that tomorrow. 619 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,480 Like whatever it might be, something that you might wrestle 620 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,040 with, it doesn't even have to be like a really bad thing, but 621 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,840 just something that you know, needs to be inwardly addressed 622 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,280 and just kind of kick it down the road. 623 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,880 Well, I think the Mets have kicked it down the road long 624 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,400 enough and I, and I've given them credit. 625 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:27,840 I applaud them. Hell, I think they did an 626 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:33,000 absolutely great, great job of pivoting because they knew that 627 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,400 you would hate this and that you would, you know, you would 628 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,600 revolt. I mean, you, you, you would just 629 00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,320 pushed back with an energy that was felt, that was palpable. 630 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,200 And you have for now. And that's you're right. 631 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,160 That's what you do as a fan. But where was this team going 632 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,320 with Nemo in left field? Can somebody please tell me? 633 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,520 I mean, how could you be a World Series team? 634 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:58,840 And I'm going to throw out a few specific situations, but but 635 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,480 this matters. This is how you become a 636 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,080 champion, all right? You know, man on first base 637 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,440 going with the pitch, you know, rocket down the left field line, 638 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,480 Nimbo gets it, throws a lollipop to Lindor with a cut. 639 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,800 Or if it's third baseman Beatty, whomever better not be the 640 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,200 Anthos at third base. He's awful there. 641 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:22,880 And it's play to play. Here's the relay safe and he's 642 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,480 safe by a tick. Whereas if you had somebody out 643 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,760 there who could actually throw the ball on a dime on a rope, 644 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,080 guess what? He's out. 645 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,720 That's what Nuggets specific, but champions have those 646 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,120 elements. You know, teams that 647 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,320 consistently buy for championships have those 648 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,920 elements. Same thing. 649 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,400 You know, let's say man on 3rd, 8th inning, you know, 7th 650 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,960 inning, 8th inning, 9th inning, either high leverage spot, less 651 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,280 than two out. It's contact play. 652 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,920 You know, you're playing the Dodgers, playing the Phillies, 653 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,160 playing the Braves, playing one of those teams, Padres maybe 654 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,160 whatever it might be and there's a bullet at Pete. 655 00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,880 Now Pete might catch it, but it's and it's a contact play. 656 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,000 So you going on on contact, obviously a third base, you 657 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,800 really trust Pete to throw a bullet to the catcher on A tag 658 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,800 plate, not a force. So it's got to be in the right 659 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,080 spot. Caught bang, tag out. 660 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,840 I don't because I've seen it, I've seen it hit the backstop. 661 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,360 I've seen him throw, you know, almost like he's throwing darts 662 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:17,960 instead of, you know, flipping it. 663 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,120 Confident confidently to a pitcher covering first base or, 664 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,280 you know, first and second one out, same spot late in the game, 665 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,520 big game, good opponent, meaningful spot. 666 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,600 And, you know, bullet to him. 363 double play. 667 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,760 And he pulls Lindor off the bag. And Lindor, who's, you know, a 668 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,720 great enough athlete to and he's got the dexterity to catch it, 669 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,840 you know, still dot the bag with his foot. 670 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,760 But because it takes a 10th of a second to, you know, gather 671 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,920 himself because it's a bad throw, guess what? 672 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,960 Throw to first base, safe, buy a tick. 673 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,960 Those things matter. They matter. 674 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,360 Not to mention that Pete's not really scoring from first base 675 00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:57,880 on a big on one of those double s in the gap. 676 00:33:57,920 --> 00:33:59,880 For the most part. He's a smart baserunner. 677 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,040 I'm not trying to, you know, cut down Pete here. 678 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,280 But see, these are the things you got to look at. 679 00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,920 And I and, and, and I, I don't think many of you have because 680 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,040 you've been wrapped up in the emotions, which I understand. 681 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,199 But it's time to get off the emotional train. 682 00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,840 And now it's let's get on the pragmatic train. 683 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,199 And Stearns was brought here for a reason. 684 00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:19,239 If the Mets organization was healthy, you think Stearns will 685 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,199 be here? Honestly, if you think he'd be 686 00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:25,320 here, the answer is no. He's here because the Mets 687 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:29,480 needed a fundamental, fundamental organizational 688 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,320 overhaul. Because for too many years they 689 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,159 were shoddily built. Either the farm system was 690 00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:39,080 ravaged, or they overpaid for players who weren't worth what 691 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,480 they gave them. Or, you know, the guys who came 692 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,639 up and were expected, You know, from their system to, you know, 693 00:34:45,639 --> 00:34:48,760 fill the role and be that guy. They just weren't, you know, 694 00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,000 even go back to generation Ki mean you want to go back to 695 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,320 those guys, those pictures, right, even with Harvey and 696 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,199 those boys like boom flame out fast for a multitude of reasons. 697 00:34:56,199 --> 00:35:01,040 Like the way you become a stable, consistent winner is to 698 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,640 have everything kind of gel like everything's on the same path 699 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,640 here. And that's why when Poland 700 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,120 basically bought himself a minor league system, I, I, I thought 701 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:13,000 that was very admirable because it was smart, it was ahead of 702 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,720 the AI got money to burn. Our system sucks. 703 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:17,200 Hey, you all right? You want these bitches? 704 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,360 I'm going to eat some of the money. 705 00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:20,400 I need some prospects back. Let's go. 706 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,440 And then that, that inches it forward a bit, you know, and now 707 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,360 you've got a little bit of a different philosophy because 708 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,080 you've got a new general manager with I'm going back a couple of 709 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,880 years ago with an emphasis on catching the ball and stuff like 710 00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:36,600 that, speed on the bases. So where the Mets are now, I 711 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,600 mean, what have they, what have they really done? 712 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,360 Well, they haven't done anything, I mean, except lose 713 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,160 players. All right. 714 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,920 Simeon's good at second. He'll catch it. 715 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:45,240 Devin Williams. We'll see. 716 00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:49,360 I think it's OK. I like Polanco was a stick and 717 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:50,880 he's got good hands. I just don't know if it's going 718 00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:52,080 to, you know, translate to first base. 719 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,680 I think it probably will. And you got Luke Weaver. 720 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:58,400 But #1 like going back to the Yankee conversation, It's not 721 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,160 over yet. I mean, you could trade 722 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,120 Peterson, you could trade Sanga. You know, you can do a lot. 723 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,400 You could trade Vientos. You should trade McNeil. 724 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,120 You could go get school ball Alcantara. 725 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,400 Like there's so many ways to go. The only thing that I wouldn't 726 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,320 do, and I think many of you know, this is just don't want to 727 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,040 give up McClain. You're not giving up McClain for 728 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,080 rental. You know, you can't do that. 729 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,200 And by the way, if you guys are just tuning in, I appreciate it. 730 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,400 I got to get used to all. I mean, this is a very one. 731 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,360 I'm sitting in my radio studio. It just got it's less busy kind 732 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,960 of like this here. Let's go all right, let's see 733 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,720 here 1000 watching on day one. I don't know is that good? 734 00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:38,000 I mean, I honestly don't know. I'm I'm learning the metrics 735 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,760 like you. I am learning about oh, you got 736 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,880 to get to 1000 subscribers to do this and 4000 billion, you know, 737 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,640 viewing hours to do that and whatever it might be. 738 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,160 And boy, you know, I, I remember when I put the link out, Oh my 739 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,080 God, I'd love to have 1000 by Monday. 740 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,400 Get, get a new world for me here. 741 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,480 And you know, we started today right around 4500. 742 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,480 Like it went from, you know, because I hadn't posted 743 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:07,240 anything, a couple of 100 to, to 1000 to 15 to 2 to 25 to 3 to 35 744 00:37:07,240 --> 00:37:10,400 to 4 to 45 and, and probably more now. 745 00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,920 And, and I just, I really, really do appreciate that man. 746 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,760 And the other thing too, I want to tell you guys just tuned in. 747 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,320 I'm not going to reset this long because I don't want those of 748 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,160 you who heard this to be bored. But I would say, yeah, I don't 749 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,920 even want to put a time frame on it. 750 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,320 I want to hold myself to this because I don't really know the 751 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,880 work it's going to entail. But I've got a vision for what 752 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,640 this space is going to look like, OK? 753 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,240 And yeah, obviously I'm going to upgrade cameras. 754 00:37:32,240 --> 00:37:34,400 And obviously I've got my microphone upstairs that I've 755 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:35,960 got to have somebody come and connect. 756 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,640 And I want to make this like, yeah, I've got to get some 757 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,000 soundproof walling. This is going to be my studio. 758 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,240 This is where we're going to rock. 759 00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:46,680 And yes, I will have guests and yes, I am working on being able 760 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,600 to take phone calls. That's going to be a little bit. 761 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,640 Again, different hurdles, different obstacles, and that's 762 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,800 that. OK, let me get to let me get to 763 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,120 the Giants a little bit. Well, yeah. 764 00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,880 Well, let me just get the jet thing out of the way for a 765 00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,120 second. So there was a report on 766 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:07,080 Saturday and I'm in the car and I hear this. 767 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,440 And this is not to disparage the report. 768 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,880 Diana Rusini had this who I love, we've had on the show, was 769 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,680 a big fan of our show, grew up on the fan like all of us love. 770 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,640 This is not about her at all. I promise. 771 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,640 And I hear, you know, I'm going back and forth between both 772 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,360 stations, kind of listen to what's going on. 773 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,520 And I hear, I forget who it was talking about. 774 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:32,480 Basically just regurgitating her report that The Jets will not, 775 00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,640 you know, the Arie Glenn will not be 1 and done. 776 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,200 And I'm and I'm sitting there, I'm saying no fucking shit. 777 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:40,240 He's not going to get fired after one year. 778 00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:43,360 I mean, isn't that the problem with The Jets all these years 779 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,760 fired after We need a report to confirm that Eric Glenn is going 780 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,200 to get a chance to come back for year 2 with one of the worst 781 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,680 defensive rosters in all the football. 782 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:55,480 I mean they weren't even good when they had QN sauce. 783 00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,120 You take them off, which I love that trade and I loved it then 784 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,360 and we got receipts on that with the old social stuff. 785 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,120 I loved it. I absolutely loved it because 786 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,640 Gardner was getting soft. I felt like he was getting a 787 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,040 little bit too comfortable. And now obviously, The Jets with 788 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:12,840 a tremendous, tremendous amount of draft capital, the three 789 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:15,160 first round versus next year or the two this year or boatload of 790 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:20,320 twos, like The Jets not only control what they can do in this 791 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,200 really basically well, next year, they definitely run the 792 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,280 draft. And this year, depending upon 793 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,600 who gets that first spot, like if it's the Raiders or the 794 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:30,200 Browns, I mean, they're going to need quarterbacks. 795 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,640 That's why I was kind of hoping that that the Giants would 796 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,600 continue to lose. And it's funny, I was seen 797 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:38,400 yesterday like rooting people rooting for the Giants to win. 798 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,000 So then that The Jets could jump. 799 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,960 No, no, you want the Giants to have the 1st overall pick 800 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,160 because the Giants aren't going to draft the quarterback. 801 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,440 I mean, to me, that was common sense and I thought a lot of 802 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,280 people were missing that. But anyway, the, the thought 803 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:55,920 that Aaron Glenn will not get a chance to finish this is is 804 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,840 really, it's laughable. And well, it's really a 805 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,720 commentary of where we are in this microwavable, nonsensical, 806 00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:07,120 stupid sports world for some, for some where if you don't win 807 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,840 right away, you know he's only 7. 808 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:11,680 Fire him. Holy God. 809 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,480 I mean, can you give the guy a chance to root some culture? 810 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,280 See, I I think. I think. 811 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,840 That the toughest thing to do in sports. 812 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,680 This applied to the Knicks when they brought in Leon Rose and 813 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,640 got Julius Randle and they went from a doormat to respectable. 814 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,120 See, to me, there's a couple of different paths here, right? 815 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,760 You can and I'm I'm just off the top of my head. 816 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:37,680 Let's go with moribund, which is where both of our football teams 817 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:43,760 reside, unfortunately, moribund to competitive. 818 00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:49,880 I'll go with that word there and then moribund competitive to 819 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:57,480 playoff worthy. I'll use a phrase and then the 820 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,640 next phase will be title contender. 821 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,280 All right, think about those four steps, guys. 822 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,520 And really, you can take this with any sport and apply this 823 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:12,920 moribund, competitive, playoff worthy title contender. 824 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:17,160 To me, the hardest thing to do is to go from moribund to 825 00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,600 competitive. It's not to go from competitive 826 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,120 to playoff ready. And to me, it's not even 827 00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,680 necessarily going from playoff ready to championship viable. 828 00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:30,280 The hardest thing to do is to walk into a building and look 829 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:37,600 around at 15 years of absolute shit, absolute wreckage, failed 830 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,960 draft picks, you know, despondent players who are 831 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,040 mentally beaten up. And, you know, and and I, I 832 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,040 think that some of you think, well, you're pro athletes, you 833 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,440 get paid a lot of money. Suck it up, go DJ, Obviously 834 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:49,400 play hard. Suck it up. 835 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:54,720 Yeah. But they are not immune to being 836 00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:57,960 affected by years and years and years of losses. 837 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,160 I mean, their, their families see the tweet, their families 838 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,560 see over the debates and the calls and, you know, their, 839 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,920 their, their husbands or brothers or sons getting land 840 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,600 based on social media. It's not a fun world when when 841 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,880 everybody's throwing darts at you, they feel that they're 842 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:14,760 humans. You know, they got to rise above 843 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,360 it. That's part of your job, you 844 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:22,120 know, But Aaron Glenn, he really, I think he made two 845 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:30,160 mistakes this year. 1 is mostly his because I can't delineate 846 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,960 how much Muji like what was Muji's influence with Justin 847 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:38,600 Fields like that decision, which to be fair, I was OK with, you 848 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,160 know, I knew they'd be a run heavy team. 849 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:44,240 I thought he would try to run 8-9 times a game designs and 850 00:42:44,240 --> 00:42:46,160 roll outs. And then with the three running 851 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,040 backs before Allen got hurt and a good old line, obviously 852 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,040 Garrett Wilson. I thought that that would be the 853 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,200 recipe to kind of just make him competitive, you know, not not 854 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,480 really win a ton, but go basically go for more bun to 855 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,440 competitive didn't work out. So he's got to obviously take a 856 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,520 take a dart for that. The other thing that he's got to 857 00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:09,560 take a dent for would be hiring. I mean, is Wilkes was the day 858 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:10,800 that he was hired. We're all like, what are you 859 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,760 doing that that we saw that coming a mile away. 860 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,600 That was a bad football decision. 861 00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:20,160 Now rectified quickly by firing somebody that he respects, 862 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,080 firing somebody that he's friends with. 863 00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:27,920 Wow, that can't be very easy. But those were a few mistakes 864 00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,880 that, you know, a guy who's in charge for the first time is 865 00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:34,320 going to make the other one. And I understood it and he's 866 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,160 gotten better at this for sure, which I think is a great thing. 867 00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:44,720 I love this is that he came out almost and and tried to set like 868 00:43:44,720 --> 00:43:48,040 a combative tone early on with the media. 869 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,240 And I thought it was unnecessary. 870 00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:52,840 Like when when you're picking on poor Rich Simini. 871 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,600 I love Rich. I mean, how that guy has 872 00:43:57,720 --> 00:44:00,640 anything, I mean, obviously much more important things than 873 00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,640 covering football, but like family and health and stuff. 874 00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,800 But imagine being on The Jets beat for as long as he's been on 875 00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,640 the Jet beat. I mean, can you get the guy 234 876 00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:10,960 years in a row where they're good? 877 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,240 Oh my God, it's always it's chaos with the New York Jets, 878 00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:17,920 but hasn't really been chaos necessarily this year, which I 879 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,200 like. That's a good sign that I think 880 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:20,880 that that that Glenn stabilized it a bit. 881 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:25,000 But early on, like you have reporters asking the most 882 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,560 innocuous question, like, Hey, Aaron, who's who's going to 883 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,360 start this week? I'll tell you what I'm going to 884 00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,000 tell you. Like she wants to fight him. 885 00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:36,200 And and I remember talking about this a lot with Sal and with you 886 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:38,840 first. I'm like, dude, you got chill, 887 00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,280 man. You got to relax. 888 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:41,680 You're coming across with a pompous ass. 889 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:43,720 You dunk shit. Nobody wants to hear it. 890 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,120 Dial it back, relax. But then as I thought about it 891 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,800 and I let me just put myself in, that was my first reaction. 892 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,960 Let me put myself in his shoes. What is he? 893 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,360 What is he real there? There's obviously an end game 894 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,400 here with this man because he's smart and he's a football lifer. 895 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,560 What is the end game? Let me examine that. 896 00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,560 What is it? It's not just to be a Dick. 897 00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:04,160 I mean, I, I hope that that's not it. 898 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,520 And I know that I know that that's not it. 899 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:14,920 The end game was for him to create control and mute the 900 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,920 noise. Now let me give you an example. 901 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:21,320 It I mean a, a coach, you know who's going to start out of 902 00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,280 Dallas game Tyrod or Justin Fields, who who's going to be 903 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,160 the quarterback. And he got kind of goes and he 904 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,600 launches into what he launches into. 905 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,720 Well, that might not mean much this year because The Jets are 906 00:45:31,720 --> 00:45:34,440 are awful. Like good God, they're atrocious 907 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:39,400 on the wow, they're bad. But what it does do is it 908 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,800 creates a template. All right, It creates a template 909 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:47,320 so that when they are good, all those questions, hey, you 910 00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:48,600 already know you're not getting anything. 911 00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:52,440 Don't waste my time. And he's creating a tone, excuse 912 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:59,400 me, a almost like an insulation around his building like a 913 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:01,520 foxhole. Hey, we're not going to get he's 914 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,040 not saying this, but this is his mindset. 915 00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,160 This is the psychology behind what Aaron Glenn was doing. 916 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,440 I'm going to build walls around that are impenetrable. 917 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,000 You're not getting in, you know, too many years for The Jets. 918 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,520 There were leagues I had somebody in The Jets building 919 00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,440 texting me while I'm on the air for the last couple of years. 920 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,480 Hey, this guy's here getting a workout or, hey, they're looking 921 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,000 at this guy. You know, like, that's good for 922 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,040 me because I was able to, you know, take a few things and 923 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,760 present it on air. And, you know, it was good 924 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:32,000 because I had some inside stuff. And I'm not a reporter, but, you 925 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,360 know, I had some access that I think helped the show and 926 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,920 provided some context. But that's not good for them, 927 00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,840 you know what I mean? Like, you got to protect that, 928 00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,160 You know, what's the old Under Armour commercial? 929 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,880 I haven't seen it. Well, our hosts, you know, got 930 00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,000 to protect your house. You have to protect the house. 931 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,760 And you know when this window slightly open and this door is 932 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,200 slightly ajar and there's a little crack over here in the 933 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,640 like the the garage door is not shut and this window is open as 934 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,760 well. People start flying in and they 935 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,760 start to poison the building. So now what he's done is sealed, 936 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,000 sealed, sealed, sealed, locked shut. 937 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,560 And it was an unpopular way to go about it. 938 00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,160 It was a bit of an unconventional approach for a 939 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,280 guy who has what a damn thing here. 940 00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,400 But I really do think at the end it's going to pay off because 941 00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,400 now the expectation is, hey, guys, you can ask me all you 942 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,280 want. You can waste. 943 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,240 And it's already softened, which which which is good. 944 00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:33,800 And you know why it's softened because by being combative. 945 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,200 Early message was sent, received. 946 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:41,440 And now the, the interaction between the media and Aaron has 947 00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,920 gotten to like a little bit of a different direction. 948 00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:49,360 And that was by design. I think Aaron Glenn is an 949 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:54,360 incredibly decent human being. I know he's a family man. 950 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,960 I, I, I believe he's an inherent winner. 951 00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,480 I believe he's smart. I know he's tough. 952 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:00,880 He's got enough old school in him. 953 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:05,280 Like, there's so much there that's appealing and, and I was 954 00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:07,920 worried for a second, I'm like, man, is this guy going to derail 955 00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:09,880 and just basically get himself run out of town? 956 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,000 Because what happens, this is just the way it goes. 957 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:18,520 When people feel attacked in the media or fans feel ostracized, 958 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,320 pushed back at arm's length, right? 959 00:48:20,720 --> 00:48:23,960 They begin to, what happens is they begin to resent that. 960 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:29,240 And the the only recourse for them really is to now push back 961 00:48:29,240 --> 00:48:32,880 negatively toward the source that's giving them that emotion, 962 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,040 that feeling. And now that that's dissipated a 963 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,680 bit, now it's on to the business of just trying to build up a 964 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,160 roster that is absolutely shit. It's horrible. 965 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,040 The one thing The Jets have going for him is that as they 966 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:47,680 try to build this thing out, you know, the offensive line for the 967 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,560 first time that it sucked yesterday. 968 00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,880 Now that was also Brady Cook kind of holding on to the ball 969 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:54,840 too much. But the old line pass protection 970 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,080 was not good yesterday. Very, very. 971 00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,320 That bothered me. Not much bothered me from 972 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,040 yesterday because you watch it almost emotionlessly, but that 973 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,760 bothered me because that's supposed to be a strength. 974 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,200 But some of those run cook as well. 975 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,440 And they can now attack this offseason and build it the right 976 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,520 way because the inner guts of the team are for the most part, 977 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,000 built up. So. 978 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,320 So that's definitely a good thing. 979 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,320 All right, before I get to the Giants, I got a little something 980 00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:18,920 on the Knicks, got a little something on Saint John, A 981 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,080 little worried about St. John's. 982 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:27,240 All right, let's see here. Yeah. 983 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,600 I mean, that's no no news, no drama coming out of One Jets 984 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:31,560 drive. That's refreshing. 985 00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:32,560 Absolutely. Is. 986 00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,640 How about Brunson? I'll get to the Knicks. 987 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,200 Is Sal just kind of going back and we're Sal going to jump on 988 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:38,600 one day? I hope so, yeah. 989 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,120 Oh, by the way, Speaking of Sal, so the A Rod party was awesome. 990 00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:43,520 I'll tell you about that in a minute. 991 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:45,720 We've got I checked this morning. 992 00:49:45,720 --> 00:49:48,040 I believe there's only 31 seats left. 993 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,640 This thing's going to be sold out. 994 00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,960 I mean, it's going to it's obviously going to be sold out 995 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,960 very soon. So that is January 22nd at the 996 00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,880 Vogel Theatre in Red Bank. It's myself, it's BT and Sal 997 00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,440 live. Aaron Boone is going to be 998 00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,200 there. We're going to have an awesome 999 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:04,720 night. There's some VIP stuff where you 1000 00:50:04,720 --> 00:50:07,840 get to meet Boone and I'm sure he'll sign stuff for you. 1001 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,960 Meet Sal, meet myself. And then there's and those are 1002 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:12,920 obviously a little price here. If you can't, if you can't do 1003 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:16,120 it, trust me, I get it. But the other seeds just to get 1004 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,880 you in the house and we're going to do, you know, basically do a 1005 00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,320 a show on stage, you know, bang around a few topics. 1006 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,840 We're definitely going to do a baseball card game with Boone. 1007 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:29,080 I've got the absolute best Frank Sinatra impersonator in the 1008 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:30,960 world. Opening things up with New York, 1009 00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,600 NY. It's going to be an absolute 1010 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,840 blast. So that's coming up January 1011 00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:39,920 22nd. myconcerts.net. OK, if you guys want to check 1012 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,880 that out.

Will the show be live? 1015 00:50:48,720 --> 00:50:49,880 Yeah. I mean, I'm, I'm going to 1016 00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:51,160 always. I'm going to go live here. 1017 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,280 I'm going to do this basically 10:00 every morning. 1018 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,280 I'll take a few days off for Christmas, obviously. 1019 00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,680 All right, we got Thomas.

And and start the route probably 1025 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,560 about do about an hour now. Listen, I got to flush through 1026 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,240 this and see how I'm going to actually push forward with this. 1027 00:51:15,240 --> 00:51:17,920 But yeah, it's going to be daily and it's going to be live. 1028 00:51:18,240 --> 00:51:22,040 They might be some things that are recorded, but you know, and 1029 00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,840 like, listen, if Bellinger signs and I'm not, you know, and 1030 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,600 coaching a game literally on the bench or on the field or 1031 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,680 whatever it might be, and I'm going to fire this up. 1032 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,360 This is going to be more access live reaction, big games, 1033 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,760 jumping on half the big Knick games, Yanks, Mets, stuff like 1034 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,440 that. So it'll be a dual purpose, like 1035 00:51:38,720 --> 00:51:41,800 my Daily Show, like you heard on the fan for years. 1036 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,160 And then obviously the ability to jump in, fire this up and 1037 00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:49,080 connect whenever I want to connect, which which is which is 1038 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,680 exciting. But when you do, I'm going to 1039 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,000 try to take you behind the curtain that it's hard to do 1040 00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:58,000 this right because being a broadcaster, not to put it on on 1041 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:05,160 this mountain of, of you know what, it is an amazing job. 1042 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,480 I don't want to say the wrong thing. 1043 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,480 It's an amazing profession, incredibly rewarding, sometimes 1044 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:12,880 unfair, but that's all right. But it's also very 1045 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,040 unconventional, all right. So basically what you have to do 1046 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:22,200 is you have to learn how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. 1047 00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,520 And it's kind of unnatural at the end of the day to speak into 1048 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:30,560 a microphone and and real and, and really have a conversation 1049 00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:34,440 and in your mind, not feel as if you're talking to hundreds of 1050 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:37,200 thousands of people. All right, You just kind of 1051 00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,480 conversing. And I think that's one of the 1052 00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:40,440 things you guys really loved about the show and certainly, 1053 00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:44,160 you know, about how I present my work over the years is that, you 1054 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,480 know, I've gotten this as a common theme with, with a lot of 1055 00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,120 the feedback. And it means the world to me 1056 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,800 that, you know, I just a lot of you say you kind of, you know, I 1057 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,440 sound like somebody that you grew up with where, you know, 1058 00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,920 whether you're sitting at a game, having a beer, sitting at 1059 00:52:56,920 --> 00:52:59,720 a bar, having a beer, just sitting around shooting the shit 1060 00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,920 that it's relatable, you know, and having said that, it's 1061 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:12,360 still, it's I think it's almost impossible to to not be detached 1062 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:16,240 to an extent of, of how many people you impact because you 1063 00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:18,200 just don't see them. You know, I come in, I drive 1064 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,760 into the city, used to park my car. 1065 00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,680 Thank God I don't have to waste money on that nonsense. 1066 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:23,880 Good. I will not miss driving to the 1067 00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:27,440 city at all at all. God, what a pain in the ass that 1068 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,120 was. But when you do this, like you 1069 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,560 just you have your routine, like you guys have your routine. 1070 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:35,800 Get up, you know, drive from Jersey, park the car, walk a 1071 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:39,600 couple blocks, go to 345 Hudson, go up to the 10th floor, walk in 1072 00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,640 the studio, see who I see, get ready for the show and do the 1073 00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:44,960 show. Walk out, walk couple of blocks, 1074 00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,560 get my car at the garage, come home and go back to being dad 1075 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:48,800 and husband and coach and all that stuff. 1076 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,520 And when you do that every day, and obviously the ten years 1077 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,680 before that would take you when I was doing the national stuff 1078 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,440 and really the 2526 years I've been doing this for a living. 1079 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:01,160 You don't always touch people. That's why I love seeing you at 1080 00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,920 the garden for St. John's or at a restaurant when 1081 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:05,440 somebody comes up. I, I value that. 1082 00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:10,880 But I, but I say that because what I was able to feel from you 1083 00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,880 guys on Friday and, and really the weeks leading up since the 1084 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,040 announcement, since then, since Marshawn broke the news and then 1085 00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:19,840 the station made the official announcement. 1086 00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,320 Like it was an emotional whirlwind for me, this for my 1087 00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:24,760 family. There's no question like I'm not 1088 00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:27,400 going to front on that. That was there was a lot going 1089 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,240 on, man. And when you see these tweets 1090 00:54:31,240 --> 00:54:33,600 come in, when you see this interaction, when you see the 1091 00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:36,560 support and I, I read the comments now, I'm not one of 1092 00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:40,600 these people who gets like self worth from having people prop me 1093 00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,520 up. Because if I did do that, then 1094 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,080 the converse would be I'm going to lose some self worth when 1095 00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,480 people invariably try to tear me down, which is part of the game. 1096 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,040 You don't think I get that? Of course, man, I know not 1097 00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:56,120 everybody likes my style or they might even like me, but they 1098 00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:57,920 hate something I said about Pete two years ago. 1099 00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,760 They're like, fuck that guy, He sucks. 1100 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,080 You know, I can't stand that. I got loudmouth. 1101 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:07,480 That's fine, you know, But you guys, I really felt it. 1102 00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:12,280 I really felt the love and it was as meaningful a moment for 1103 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:16,200 me on the radio was I signed off, especially when my dad 1104 00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,680 called and I almost now my wife set that up. 1105 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,040 I didn't know he was calling in. I did not know he was. 1106 00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,480 I thought about having him on myself, didn't say anything. 1107 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:28,680 I'm like, I don't know the audience want to really hear 1108 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,000 that. I think I didn't have him. 1109 00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,200 I didn't plan on him going through the whole resume, you 1110 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,640 know, down he went into high school baseball. 1111 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,080 Dad, let's go. You know, I got 3 minutes to say 1112 00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:38,960 goodbye. Hurry up. 1113 00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,240 But he's a talker like me. It's where I get it from. 1114 00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:42,560 I told you my first radio partner. 1115 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:46,160 So I wasn't really sure how I was going to do it. 1116 00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,520 And then when I did it, I I, I, I know that I did it right, 1117 00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:54,600 because I could tell like man, you guys, you guys connected to 1118 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,800 you, really, you connected to my heart. 1119 00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,240 And listen, not every single this is it in terms unless it 1120 00:56:00,240 --> 00:56:03,480 comes up and a question down the road, like I'm not going to re 1121 00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,840 litigate.

You roll your sleeves up, 1170 00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,360 literally they are rolled up and you just, you start cranking out 1171 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,080 content. Now to me, it's an easy choice. 1172 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,000 So I get it. I know that I've got to get 1173 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:21,960 this. You don't think that this thing 1174 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,200 is going to look sick. Trust me, when this thing is 1175 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:25,640 built up, it's going to look sick. 1176 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:28,720 It's just not sat there yet. Let's see. 1177 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,000 Yeah. It's always better to start now. 1178 00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,240 I agree with that. Yeah. 1179 00:58:32,240 --> 00:58:33,360 Some Nick jerseys. Yeah. 1180 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,840 I mean, I've got, I'm looking around and and there's a million 1181 00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:37,800 things I could grab. I've got my Mattingly jersey. 1182 00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,280 I've got my name of jersey framed. 1183 00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,760 I've got my Bernard King jersey. I've got my signed Guns and 1184 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:43,720 Roses. I got to get that in the 1185 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:44,920 picture. You know, I love my music. 1186 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:49,000 I've got my signed Guns and Roses poster from the Not in 1187 00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:51,000 This Lifetime tour that I saw at the Garden. 1188 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,120 I guess that was about, I don't know, five years, but more than 1189 00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:56,120 that, maybe 18. I think it may have been, that 1190 00:58:56,120 --> 00:58:58,760 was a sick concert. You know, I've got my Ewing 1191 00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:00,760 frame jersey. I've got my college jersey 1192 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:02,080 framed. Of course, I've got a lot of 1193 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,960 stuff that I want to that I want to to incorporate and I 1194 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,840 certainly will. What else we got? 1195 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,480 All right, let me get you a little something on Jackson 1196 00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,520 Dart. So see, here's what I don't get. 1197 00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,880 There's two schools of thought of thought here, right? 1198 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:18,680 Either let Jackson Dart play or sit well. 1199 00:59:19,040 --> 00:59:21,000 See, the problem that I have with what the Giants did 1200 00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:22,360 yesterday is that they didn't either. 1201 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,680 They didn't sit them and the thought and I think I don't 1202 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:28,040 believe in that. I don't subscribe in that you're 1203 00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:30,200 a football player. I mean, sit them. 1204 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,920 Sit them for what? Like I like that actually drives 1205 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:36,600 me nuts when I the more I think, oh, let's sit them and just punt 1206 00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:39,600 for next year. I mean, what the why? 1207 00:59:40,680 --> 00:59:43,920 It's a football player, you know what I mean. 1208 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,480 The reps that he can get the rest of the way to me are very 1209 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,240 meaningful. Now, maybe you limit some of the 1210 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:50,960 design runs. Maybe there's a way to strike 1211 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:54,000 some middle bounds here, which I think that they done well, they 1212 00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:55,400 did up until yesterday to an extent. 1213 00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,200 But the choice was you play them or you don't. 1214 00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:01,000 Well, yesterday the Giants did. The one thing that I that I 1215 01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,360 think is really even Dumber than not playing him. 1216 01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:07,000 They did neither because he didn't play football yesterday. 1217 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,960 He didn't play football. He was on the field. 1218 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:11,760 I mean he looks tight in his uniform. 1219 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,440 He does he looks he looks like doesn't he just look like a 1220 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,600 stud, though, in the uniform, Like there's and that's what I 1221 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,720 want my eventual jets quarterback, like give me some 1222 01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,360 swag, you know, give me like the one eye black thing. 1223 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,760 Give me the chain, you know, give me the give me the wrap 1224 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,880 around things around the cleats. Give me an arm band. 1225 01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,600 Let's go be a little tatted up. Just give me somebody who's got 1226 01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,960 a little presents. Jackson Dart looks like he's he 1227 01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:34,360 looks he looks awesome in uniform. 1228 01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,800 But yesterday he was on the field. 1229 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,760 He was actually saying Hut, but he wasn't playing football, so 1230 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,920 they didn't do anything and Giants didn't do anything right 1231 01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,200 yesterday. If he's going to be on the 1232 01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:49,480 field, let him play football. And there's not a soul around 1233 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,360 that can tell me that that's what he did when the 1st 15 1234 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,920 freaking plays of the game were runs. 1235 01:00:55,560 --> 01:01:01,600 Hey, come on, 15 runs in a row. It's embarrassing, you know? 1236 01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:09,000 So Jax, here's what Jax has done the last I saw these on. 1237 01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:11,200 So I like to give proper attribution. 1238 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:12,160 I don't know if it was next year. 1239 01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:14,480 I don't even know who had it. I'm not trying to lift. 1240 01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:16,440 This is my own. I just shouted some stuff down, 1241 01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:19,600 right. But in the three games before 1242 01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:23,640 Brian Dabel was fired, he had almost 650 passing yards. 1243 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:27,360 He ran for $1.47 total touchdowns, no picks, 1244 01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,600 quarterback rating, 99, playing good football. 1245 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:33,280 Dabel, Dabel's gone and I understand you how to move on 1246 01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,120 from them. But since the firing of the 1247 01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,440 three games, instead of 640 passing yards, it's down to a 1248 01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,640 little bit more than 400. Massive drop or precipitous. 1249 01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,040 We got to drop a good vocab word there. 1250 01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,920 You know that we love doing that precipitous drop, right? 1251 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,000 And then he went from 140 rushing yards to 75. 1252 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:54,560 He went from no picks to two. He went from 7 total touchdowns 1253 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,880 to three. And his quarterback rating went 1254 01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,200 from 99 to 70. So, like, what the hell are we 1255 01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:01,680 doing? I mean, he had 33 passing yards 1256 01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:02,840 yesterday. You'd think that the Giants 1257 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:07,720 played in nine inches of snow or that it was raining sideways or 1258 01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,160 like it was an electrical storm that and there was a 2 hour 1259 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,520 delay and then the rains came. The fight. 1260 01:02:12,520 --> 01:02:18,720 I don't know what that was. That was that was very odd, 1261 01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:23,600 very, very odd. So I'm just not of the mindset 1262 01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,840 to sit him. I think that that is a loser 1263 01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:33,280 mentality and I wouldn't do it. And by the way, if you play 1264 01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,920 Jameis Winston, you probably have a better chance to win 1265 01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,880 right now. So you've got to reconcile from 1266 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,480 within what you want to do, you know, as a fan. 1267 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:43,200 I mean, if they're going to have their vision of what they want 1268 01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:47,040 to do, do you want to, you know, I mean, it's a couple ways to 1269 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,920 go. You can have Jameis play and get 1270 01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:51,800 the kid out of harm's way, which again, I wouldn't do. 1271 01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,680 Try to crank out a win. You know, if you Kafka, not that 1272 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:56,360 it's going to save his job. There's no way he's coaching 1273 01:02:56,360 --> 01:02:58,760 this team next year. But like, that's one Ave. the 1274 01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:02,880 other thing that you could do is you could start dart and I don't 1275 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:04,920 know, you could actually play football and you could let him 1276 01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,880 throw a little bit. And I don't mean 9 designed RP 1277 01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:10,480 OS into the teeth of the defense, some roll outs and 1278 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,400 misdirections. You know, creative stuff, 1279 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:13,960 football stuff. You can do that as well. 1280 01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:17,680 I I, I don't know what their plans going to be, but I know 1281 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:21,600 what the giants did yesterday was real, was borderline 1282 01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:27,880 disgraceful. Like my son plays football. 1283 01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:32,480 He's 10. You know, it's, you know, 1284 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,520 offensive line, it's hard and you know, you throw picks. 1285 01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:39,480 I mean, it's you 10. They've never started 15 game 1286 01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:42,680 with with 15 runs in a row to start a game, any game. 1287 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:45,280 That was just I thought that was incredibly weak. 1288 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,240 I thought the messaging was weak. 1289 01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:49,560 It reflects very poorly on Kappa. 1290 01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:52,400 He's atrocious. I really just don't like it. 1291 01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,120 I really don't have P TS out here giving stats and English 1292 01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,240 lessons. Yeah, yeah. 1293 01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:00,760 I mean, listen, The funny thing about the GO, he used to clown 1294 01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,480 me on this, you know, using the words that like I it's not like 1295 01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:10,160 I'd sit here and like, let me insert a smart word so people 1296 01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:15,360 think that I'm smart. No, I just, you know, I've got a 1297 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,880 good vocabulary, I guess fairly extensive. 1298 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,920 I'm not going to apologize for that, nor am I going to, nor am 1299 01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,360 I going to run from it. Let me just let me use one 1300 01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,040 syllable words, you know? No, not going to happen. 1301 01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,320 No commercials. Hey, listen, I'm just busting 1302 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:33,040 out getting this thing going. Of course, one of the big things 1303 01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:36,720 that I'm already in the process of doing is selling, you know, 1304 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:38,800 trying to get some big advertisers on the show. 1305 01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,840 There's no doubt about it. There's no doubt. 1306 01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:44,400 Yep. Let's keep the train moving. 1307 01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,640 No question. A rod should pay for the studio. 1308 01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,160 Stop the Jesuit education. That is absolutely true. 1309 01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:54,720 The so Alex's party, right? Let me tell you, we myself, my 1310 01:04:54,720 --> 01:05:00,720 wife and Sal took an Uber from from our home. 1311 01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:03,400 Sal doesn't live too far. So he came here and then we took 1312 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,440 an Uber. The three of us now the party 1313 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:09,400 said like 7 to 10. And really it wasn't even like 1314 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,840 there was no forethought like whoa, let's get there at 7:20 so 1315 01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:14,160 we don't look like we're the first ones there. 1316 01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,680 No, he was just we're going to have to navigate a mess of 1317 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,000 traffic. And I remember typing in his his 1318 01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:24,360 apartment address in my ways on my phone, I think the earlier 1319 01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,360 that day and it said like an hour and 30 minutes. 1320 01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,120 I'm like, oh God, an hour and 30. 1321 01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:30,280 I'm going to have to pour a drink for this override maybe. 1322 01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,480 And it took about an hour and 30 minutes. 1323 01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:39,200 So we walk in there and I mean, it was, it was just absolutely 1324 01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,480 awesome, man.

You know, it's funny, when Sal 1368 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,160 was telling us about the corduroy suit, I'm like, oh boy, 1369 01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:38,400 when he first dropped that on the on the air a couple of weeks 1370 01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:43,400 ago, my corduroy suit and it's, it's definitely fashion forward. 1371 01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,880 It wasn't a knock on that. I'm like, is it a little too 1372 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:47,680 dressy? It looked awesome. 1373 01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:50,720 Like as soon as he rolled into my home to, to get, you know, to 1374 01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,160 go and get in the Uber to go to to Alex's place, I'm like, dude, 1375 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:55,960 you look sharp, man. Money move. 1376 01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:58,600 Matter of fact, there was a picture and I thought I'd look 1377 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:00,640 pretty good too. And there was a picture of 1378 01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:02,040 myself. It's on my Instagram. 1379 01:08:02,520 --> 01:08:06,120 Yeah, it's on my Instagram of myself and Alex and Sal. 1380 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:10,320 And I'm like, wait, am I the third best dressed person in 1381 01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,240 this picture? It was great. 1382 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:14,000 Who else did I see that was there? 1383 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,279 Not the name drop, but Joel Sherman was there. 1384 01:08:17,359 --> 01:08:19,160 I'm like, hey, man, you're one of those last hard hitting 1385 01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:20,120 reporters. Keep it up. 1386 01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,600 Who we getting like Yanks gonna fucking do anything. 1387 01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:24,200 Who we getting here? What's going on? 1388 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:29,279 So it was really, really an awesome night and I oh, I'm I'll 1389 01:08:29,279 --> 01:08:31,319 tell you who I did meet. This was great. 1390 01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,840 Like I'm always curious about, you know, when you're that great 1391 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:38,439 at something as, as he so clearly was in baseball, such a 1392 01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,240 passion for the game, right? Like, wow. 1393 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,359 And I know everybody's different because everybody develops at 1394 01:08:44,359 --> 01:08:46,080 different stages. It's not always linear. 1395 01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:50,240 You know, you hear stories about basketball players who are 610 1396 01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,439 who were guards up until they were 13. 1397 01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:56,120 They shot up 77 inches. So they're now 69610 with 1398 01:08:56,120 --> 01:08:57,560 handles. I mean, that's, that's a 1399 01:08:57,560 --> 01:08:59,479 different, that's a different basketball player. 1400 01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:03,399 Anyway, I, I was told for a while with his, one of his 1401 01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:06,920 cousins, right? And what a great dude. 1402 01:09:07,399 --> 01:09:11,080 And he went to all hollows, CHS, AA shout out to them. 1403 01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,640 And I went to Xavier. So we used to play all hollows. 1404 01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:15,040 I'm like, man, we used to crush you guys. 1405 01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:16,680 He goes now he's younger than me. 1406 01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:17,960 He was not not when I was playing. 1407 01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:19,399 I'm like, hey, listen, that's fine. 1408 01:09:19,399 --> 01:09:22,279 But but when I was playing all hollow, we'd have to worry about 1409 01:09:22,279 --> 01:09:23,800 all hollows. That was not the threat. 1410 01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,560 But it was so much awesome and it was so awesome talking about 1411 01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:31,240 the old school baseball and you know what it's like now. 1412 01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:34,560 And I got to meet the Sun Rocco, great, great, great young man. 1413 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:39,560 And then he was tell me stories about Alex because he would hang 1414 01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,720 out. Alex, Alex's cousin was was 1415 01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,640 obviously very good friends with Alex's brother and who's a very 1416 01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,319 good basketball player. And Alex was like a little guy. 1417 01:09:47,319 --> 01:09:49,880 He's like, man, I was ringing the up in Washington Heights. 1418 01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:53,000 I was ringing the bell and Alice is like 3-4 years old. 1419 01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,760 He's got a full uniform on. I'm like, that's, that's 1420 01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,800 amazing. That's why I've always said I 1421 01:09:57,800 --> 01:09:59,280 don't. That's why I was important. 1422 01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,160 I want to have Alex. And I had Rick on the last show 1423 01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,320 on The Fan. I wanted to have somebody. 1424 01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:06,440 I don't think there's anybody who loves baseball or knows 1425 01:10:06,440 --> 01:10:08,640 baseball more than Alex Rodriguez even. 1426 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:11,600 No, please. This is not a transition. 1427 01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:13,640 This is an abrupt end to a new point. 1428 01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:15,920 Not me lumping myself in with Alex at all. 1429 01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,400 But I mean, I, I love baseball as much as anybody. 1430 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,400 I mean, I'm holding. I have I have a ball right here. 1431 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:22,800 I love it. I love it. 1432 01:10:23,240 --> 01:10:28,320 But like, I'm at the point in my life you can't pay me to, you 1433 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,040 know, on a Saturday night and Yanks Mets done whatever might 1434 01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:34,280 be nothing going on. And unless it's like Altani 1435 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:38,200 pitching what to like watch the Red Sox and the Tiger. 1436 01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,120 Well, I guess if school bulls pitch and I'll put it on or 1437 01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:43,720 crochet. But like I'm not watching a game 1438 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:45,840 if it's not the Yanks or the Mets and it's not a big game. 1439 01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,360 Like I'm going to Netflix. I'm going to catch up on some 1440 01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,320 new shows I'm going to I'm going to do whatever I'm going to do. 1441 01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,400 He does like he watches every game. 1442 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,360 He's an absolute baseball junkie. 1443 01:10:55,360 --> 01:10:58,320 So we had a great night. You know, it sucked. 1444 01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:03,400 I don't want to leave because I would say that the party started 1445 01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,680 at 7:00. We probably got there about 1446 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:12,200 maybe 7:40-ish. And then we left with, you know, 1447 01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:13,960 the babysitter. We had to get back for that. 1448 01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,200 And you know, traffic not as bad going home. 1449 01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,840 But obviously, you know, we got to get from, you know, the Upper 1450 01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,560 West Side to, to where we are in Jersey. 1451 01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:24,480 I'm like, this sucks. I want to stay because now 1452 01:11:24,480 --> 01:11:27,160 people are starting to dwindle and now, you know, there's 1453 01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:31,560 probably like maybe 15 people or so when we left So we had an 1454 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,880 absolute blast. And yes, many of you have asked 1455 01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:35,760 how was Sal's suit was really good. 1456 01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:37,280 Look look, money. He look good. 1457 01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:40,400 Yeah. 4:30 is early, no doubt. Glad to have you back. 1458 01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:42,480 Let's do it. You don't think Dart's the 1459 01:11:42,480 --> 01:11:44,600 answer. Somebody just says that what's 1460 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:46,600 the handle there? Add Greg 2036. 1461 01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,920 You know I was I was thinking about this and this would be an 1462 01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,080 incredibly unconventional move and I would not necessarily. 1463 01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:54,800 I'm not here yet. I'm not. 1464 01:11:55,320 --> 01:11:57,840 But the one thing about dart, because I just talked a lot 1465 01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,440 about darts, I can wrap it up with that here. 1466 01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,320 If you're not going to let Jackson Dart run around and be 1467 01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:05,560 Jackson Dart, well, then you don't have a good quarterback. 1468 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,920 Not that he's not that he has no pocket awareness, he does not 1469 01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:12,560 that he has no accuracy or or true passing instincts. 1470 01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:17,880 He does, but it's not elite like he's not going to drop back, you 1471 01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,920 know, 3035 times a game against a really good defense down the 1472 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:23,560 road. I don't I don't think when the 1473 01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:26,720 Giants further build out their team and be, you know, one of 1474 01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:28,160 the he's not going to be Joe Burrow. 1475 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,840 He's not going to be, you know, Mahomes necessarily when he's 1476 01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:32,560 healthy. You know, Patrick, a couple of 1477 01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:35,120 years ago more when he was putting up these sick numbers. 1478 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,200 I don't, I don't think he's going to be that guy's going to 1479 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,320 be more of a hybrid. I think he's going to be. 1480 01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:40,840 I think he's got a chance to be great. 1481 01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:44,320 But if they're not going to let him play that way out of fear of 1482 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,280 him getting hurt again, which is a real thing with the 1483 01:12:46,280 --> 01:12:49,840 concussion, I get it, I do. But if he's not going to be that 1484 01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:56,160 dual threat snap to snap, you know, is it worth considering 1485 01:12:56,600 --> 01:13:00,360 the Giants taking a quarterback at #1 if they finish number one 1486 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:03,040 or taking a quarterback at number two or three? 1487 01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:04,920 I don't know. I don't know yet. 1488 01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:09,640 Now, if this was year 2 of Jackson Dart, you'd have so much 1489 01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:11,400 more Intel. I think it will be an easier 1490 01:13:11,480 --> 01:13:16,320 answer, but I don't know if, if you can make that determination 1491 01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:18,240 now. There's just not enough on film, 1492 01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:21,120 which is why why I'm saying, you know, I'm playing them. 1493 01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,680 I mean, you got a couple more games to go, you know, if I 1494 01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:27,760 could get, you know, 40-50 more past attempts with, with knowing 1495 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,120 them the way they ran it the other day. 1496 01:13:29,480 --> 01:13:31,000 I mean, that number is incredibly ambitious. 1497 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,280 You won't see that. But if I could get some more on 1498 01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,320 film and really look at him, get a sense of what he might be when 1499 01:13:36,320 --> 01:13:39,480 we're not doing some of the running, maybe that gives me a 1500 01:13:39,480 --> 01:13:42,280 better answer, some more context to to maybe it would be 1501 01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:44,280 unconventional. I think a lot of people would 1502 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,400 hate it. Some would understand it, some 1503 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,720 would like it. But I don't know, maybe The 1504 01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:55,600 Jets, maybe the Giants are pondering the the possibility of 1505 01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,360 drafting the quarterback. Number one, you know, especially 1506 01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,680 if Joe Shane is not the general manager. 1507 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,000 I mean, let's face it, I mean, is he? 1508 01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,800 I mean, how how is he possibly going to be the general manager? 1509 01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,800 There is no way in hell that Joe Shane could be the general 1510 01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,120 manager of this football team next year. 1511 01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,840 It just doesn't matter. I mean, there's really nothing 1512 01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:15,680 to discuss. I don't care if they win the 1513 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,040 next two games by the scores 60 to 3 combined. 1514 01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,360 You know that it is what it is. The resumes there. 1515 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,960 You got to move on. And if you move on, see, this is 1516 01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:29,880 one thing that worries me, I'll say when they move on, are the 1517 01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:34,080 Giants predisposed to, no matter what as they interview other GM 1518 01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:37,400 candidates, that they've already got their plan for Dart and the 1519 01:14:37,400 --> 01:14:40,680 future already mapped out? They don't want to hear anything 1520 01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:43,640 to the contrary. And somebody who could be the 1521 01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,520 general manager that gets the Giants back to being the Giants 1522 01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,800 presents them with a plan. Hey, I like Dart, but never 1523 01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:52,000 going to stay healthy. Little deficient here, whatever 1524 01:14:52,000 --> 01:14:54,800 it might be. I want to take a quarterback. 1525 01:14:54,800 --> 01:14:57,720 Dante Moore's coming out more. I want him or Mendoza or 1526 01:14:57,720 --> 01:14:59,080 whatever Tyson, whatever it might be. 1527 01:14:59,080 --> 01:15:00,680 You know the names, right? I got to see who's coming out. 1528 01:15:00,680 --> 01:15:02,960 But those are the main the big three so far. 1529 01:15:03,480 --> 01:15:06,440 And if they hear that and they don't like that, well, they're 1530 01:15:06,440 --> 01:15:09,040 not going to hire that person. Like the last thing you want is 1531 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,080 an echo chamber. You want independent thought. 1532 01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:16,480 You want unique perspectives. So I I don't know. 1533 01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:19,920 And, and this I say with, with complete softness and 1534 01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:23,000 understanding of the situation, but you know, where the giants 1535 01:15:23,000 --> 01:15:26,280 are, where Mr. Mara is with his health situation. 1536 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:30,320 And I wish him the absolute best and, and God bless him and 1537 01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:32,640 perform and absolutely rooting for him. 1538 01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:34,920 And then God, I hope he's, I hope he's going to be good. 1539 01:15:35,440 --> 01:15:38,920 But when you have a situation like that, maybe the easier 1540 01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:42,800 thing would be just to kind of kick it down the road and, and 1541 01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:46,160 then worry about the general manager and, you know, in a year 1542 01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:49,960 or so when, when Mr. Mayor is healthy and, and better state of 1543 01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:51,240 mind, you know, whatever it might be. 1544 01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:53,200 I, I don't, I don't, I just don't know what they're 1545 01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:54,600 thinking. That's what I'm thinking. 1546 01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:56,960 I think at this point, everything should be on the 1547 01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:59,280 table. You know, you know, if the 1548 01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:03,880 giants finish one or two or three, like what they could get 1549 01:16:05,240 --> 01:16:09,160 by trading out is, is absolutely organizational. 1550 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:11,560 It's transformative. It could be a transformative 1551 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,040 day. And if they don't, they could 1552 01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,680 get a quarterback who could be better than Jackson Dart. 1553 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:20,000 And then listen, I'm not saying you don't have Jackson Dart 1554 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,760 start next year. You would have him start. 1555 01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:25,480 And if you went this unconventional path and draft 1556 01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:29,720 somebody else, well, you know, we you can now have a 2 1557 01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:33,520 quarterbacks that the league loves and you could either trade 1558 01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,160 the newly drafted one at some point or you can trade Jackson 1559 01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,040 Dart. Like there's a lot of different 1560 01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:41,240 ways to do modern business in the NFL, and that's just one of 1561 01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:42,600 them. All right, let me see a couple 1562 01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,680 of more here. Glad that I can still listen to 1563 01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:46,640 you. Appreciate that, guys. 1564 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,200 There's no doubt. I need a theme song. 1565 01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:52,720 Yeah, somebody made an awesome theme song. 1566 01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:56,880 Unbelievable theme song. But I, you know, just it's it's 1567 01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:58,680 a great rap song will be phenomenal. 1568 01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:02,160 But I I'm not going to bust up because they take some shots at 1569 01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:03,960 the fan and and I'm I'm not here to do that. 1570 01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,840 That's not what I'm doing. You know, again, if you just 1571 01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:10,400 tuned in, Yeah. I mean, I think certainly I I am 1572 01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:12,440 the type of person who should be on the fan. 1573 01:17:12,440 --> 01:17:14,800 Isn't that kind of what WF fans built on? 1574 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:17,840 Passion sports? They went a different direction. 1575 01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:19,720 That's OK. You know, it's not my company. 1576 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:21,480 I don't own it. I own this. 1577 01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:24,760 And now I get to do whatever I want to do whenever I want to do 1578 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,440 it with you. And it's been been an 1579 01:17:27,440 --> 01:17:29,680 interesting couple of days trying to get this thing set up. 1580 01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,640 Yeah, the Super chats and all these other things I got to 1581 01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:39,040 figure out and, and, and I will BT today Rod give Sal shit for 1582 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:43,200 the suit He did because I told him when I, when I told him on 1583 01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,080 the air the other day, I'm like you just you just got to give a 1584 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:46,240 little thing. Come on, you got to play the 1585 01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:48,400 game. And, and he he did. 1586 01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,320 He was in the middle of a conversation that he came over 1587 01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,440 and greeted us at the door. I wanted to obviously introduce 1588 01:17:53,440 --> 01:17:55,120 him to my wife. Sal had never met him. 1589 01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,680 So we get that out of the way and then they were bullshitting 1590 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,000 for about a minute. We all were and then he's like, 1591 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,120 hey, he's like by the way, BT said I got a mock you for your 1592 01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:03,040 suit. He's like it actually looks 1593 01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:05,120 pretty good. So he brought it up, but he he 1594 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:09,080 didn't he didn't go too too bad there all right, guys, and he 1595 01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:10,200 didn't have to because he looked tight. 1596 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,760 All right now the other thing too, as we wrap it up, episode 1 1597 01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,240 here we go. I mean, this is the one in the 1598 01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:20,840 books already, right? So one thing on, and I mean real 1599 01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:22,680 quick on the Knicks, I'm not going to get, you know, I love 1600 01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,080 my Knicks, but today's not necessarily the day for it. 1601 01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,720 So the Knicks scored what They scored 130. 1602 01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:29,520 How many points? They scored like 132, whatever 1603 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,200 the hell it was. The Knicks scored 132 points 1604 01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:33,760 last night. Carl Anthony Towns had two 1605 01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:37,800 points. I mean, good God, the way they 1606 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:41,960 are able to get up and down the court and score whatever they 1607 01:18:41,960 --> 01:18:46,360 want, it's amazing. It's absolutely amazing and I 1608 01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:48,640 like the Mike Brown hiring. I'm not sitting there saying 1609 01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:51,960 it's Pat Riley, but when he was brought in and I knew he was not 1610 01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,120 their first choice. All right, I liked it because I 1611 01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:58,280 I, I liked what he did. You know, certainly around some 1612 01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:01,680 big situations, some some marquee franchise, the Lakers 1613 01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,840 and assistant with the with the Warriors, being around those 1614 01:19:04,840 --> 01:19:07,360 great players, rebuilding the Kings and then obviously getting 1615 01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:09,760 the raw end of the stick, being around LeBron, getting to a 1616 01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:12,360 conference finals with him pretty extensive resume. 1617 01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:16,760 And I had no doubt that the offense will look better. 1618 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,840 And I had no doubt that the rotation would be tweaked here. 1619 01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,480 I knew it. You just knew what happened. 1620 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,480 So, you know, the fact that Kolek's been let out of the, you 1621 01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:28,240 know, let out of the room a little bit and see what he can 1622 01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,440 do, There's just no way he's playing. 1623 01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:32,040 Tyler Kolek is not getting minutes here. 1624 01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:33,200 He's not getting any sort of run. 1625 01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,280 If Tom Pibodo's still the coach, and this is, I'm not going to 1626 01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,280 turn this into let's take shots of Tom Pibodo. 1627 01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:41,400 There's no need to. Tom Pibodo is a basketball lifer 1628 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:45,280 and somebody I have immense profound respect for. 1629 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:47,320 But that was kind of the end of the road. 1630 01:19:47,320 --> 01:19:50,120 Like, I think he they, they, they maxed out who they were, 1631 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:53,880 you know, rotations different. And and this one thing that Tom 1632 01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:57,160 Thibodeau did always, he would do this and it drove me nuts, 1633 01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,760 like many of you, when he did tap into the deeper part of the 1634 01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:03,280 bench. When they were flowing, he would 1635 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,560 just take them out and he would go back to the starters. 1636 01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:09,040 He was two pre programmed where Mike Brown's like Clarkson, 1637 01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:10,440 you're eating now, you stay out there. 1638 01:20:10,440 --> 01:20:11,440 Call it. Go get him in. 1639 01:20:11,440 --> 01:20:13,240 I'm going to give you 25 minutes tonight. 1640 01:20:13,240 --> 01:20:14,680 Go. Do you think, you know, I'm not 1641 01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:20,160 just going to go, you know, like rotely OK, Brunson, Hart, OG, 1642 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:23,840 Bridges, Cat, Like if I've got a group on the court that's doing 1643 01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:26,880 some damage, even if it's an unconventional group, I'm going 1644 01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:28,600 to let him go. And that is massive. 1645 01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,400 I love it. So I'm very excited about the 1646 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:32,040 Knicks. They're the best team in the 1647 01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:34,000 Eastern Conference. I don't even think it's close. 1648 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:36,400 I don't know what they're going to do with the trade deadline. 1649 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:38,360 I don't think they're going to get Giannis. 1650 01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:40,520 I don't even know if right now is the time to do it. 1651 01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:43,120 If they trade Kolek, that's going to piss me off. 1652 01:20:43,120 --> 01:20:45,680 Like if they trade Kolek throughout the point guard, that 1653 01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:47,480 is. That would be an Old Nick move. 1654 01:20:47,480 --> 01:20:50,800 There's no way you trade him. He's good and he's cheap and he 1655 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:53,560 fits in seamlessly. So I think he's carving out that 1656 01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:54,720 role. I think he's here to stay. 1657 01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:59,080 Last thing, Saint John's. I'm worried I am. 1658 01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,280 Saint John's does not look the way that I thought that they 1659 01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:03,920 would. They started the season #5 now 1660 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:06,000 again, listen, pre season rankings, what does that mean? 1661 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,560 Nothing. Johnny's win 31 and five a year 1662 01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:10,800 ago. Awesome season, ended a bit too 1663 01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:13,320 early in the second round of the NCAA tournament. 1664 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:17,720 They just beat a longer, faster, more athletic Arkansas team, 1665 01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:20,840 which is why Rich scheduled a lot of SEC teams in a in a 1666 01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:22,960 harder schedule here. Saint John's going to win a lot 1667 01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:24,400 of games. Big East is down. 1668 01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:27,280 I never thought that they would go 31 and five again. 1669 01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,800 So I thought that the record would not would, would be, would 1670 01:21:29,800 --> 01:21:32,640 just be different. But to go from ranked #5 1671 01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,520 preseason to what time is it? No, it hasn't dropped out. 1672 01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,240 It hasn't dropped yet. Ticket drops around 1. 1673 01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:41,520 They're not going to be ranked. They went from like 5 to 12 to 1674 01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:44,040 18 to 22. They have just plummeted from 1675 01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,680 the rankings. And right now they don't deserve 1676 01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:47,880 to be ranked. They don't. 1677 01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:52,080 My biggest concerns with Saint John's and Rick talked about 1678 01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:54,960 this the other day, They don't have a pure point guard and 1679 01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:56,840 that's a problem like last year's team. 1680 01:21:56,840 --> 01:22:01,680 They got easy buckets. They did like, I feel like you 1681 01:22:01,680 --> 01:22:07,040 watch Zooby, who is not having the season yet, that I thought 1682 01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:09,440 that he would. But I also think he's trying to, 1683 01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,520 you know, get Cop Hopkins involved and some other guys, 1684 01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:14,760 let them get in the flow, which is what leaders do. 1685 01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,280 But there's still a time to go get yours. 1686 01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,800 And he hasn't really been able to do that yet. 1687 01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:22,080 And the guy that I'm most disappointed with his Bryce 1688 01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,560 Hopkins, he has not played well at all. 1689 01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,000 Like the St. John's front court is getting 1690 01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:31,080 pushed around. I did not expect that, No. 1691 01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:35,520 So the bad news is they got a long way to go. 1692 01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:39,760 And well, I think Ian Jackson's an incredible talent and I think 1693 01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,560 he's going to, you know, he's going to show more and more as 1694 01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:45,040 the year goes on. They don't have a pure point 1695 01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:46,840 guard. So the ability to get easy 1696 01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,440 baskets is not going to be there the way it was a year ago. 1697 01:22:49,480 --> 01:22:53,680 And that's that's an issue. And then the front court not 1698 01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:59,200 flexing like the ferocity, just the the ability to, I thought 1699 01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:00,920 they were going to manhandle people. 1700 01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:05,040 I thought like, you know, +1213 on the boards, you know, just 1701 01:23:05,040 --> 01:23:08,480 destroy people in the paint. You watch them Against Kentucky. 1702 01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:11,720 I mean, it was hard to get shots up at certain points against 1703 01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:14,400 their length and having the ball knocked away and getting pushed 1704 01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:17,960 off the post. So, you know, really the team to 1705 01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,560 beat in the Big East clearly as U Conn, there's no doubt about 1706 01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,680 that right now. Seton Hall is a good story. 1707 01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:26,280 I see you Pirates. You know, a lot of a lot of my 1708 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:29,040 buddies in town who my son plays ball with their sons. 1709 01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:30,680 Big Pirates fans like, oh, pretty good. 1710 01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:33,440 I'm like, I know, I know. And I'll admit I wasn't really 1711 01:23:33,440 --> 01:23:37,200 taking them for real. They've had some good wins. 1712 01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:41,560 So, you know, respect to them. Villanova may be a little more 1713 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:43,680 interesting than we thought, but St. 1714 01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:46,000 John's needs to recalibrate and St. 1715 01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:49,480 John's needs to get better. So I hope they do. 1716 01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:53,120 I I know they're going to be a tournament team, but like that, 1717 01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,480 a two seed, I mean, that's off the table. 1718 01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:57,720 I don't think their resume is just not going to be impressive 1719 01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:00,360 enough to do that. You know, the net, the RP is the 1720 01:24:00,360 --> 01:24:02,520 measurables, the analytics, all those things matter. 1721 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:06,360 So they played a tough schedule. They've lost too many of the 1722 01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:10,600 games that that they should have won or had a chance to win, or 1723 01:24:10,600 --> 01:24:13,120 if they did win, would have sent a bit of a message to the 1724 01:24:13,120 --> 01:24:16,040 committee to the country. Right now, Saint John's is 1725 01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:19,520 absolutely behind where they were a year ago, clearly. 1726 01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:22,920 And for me, they were behind where I thought they would be 1727 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,440 with this unit. They definitely have to get 1728 01:24:25,440 --> 01:24:27,440 something straight. That's the bad news again. 1729 01:24:27,440 --> 01:24:30,720 Good news is they got Rick Pitino and they really do have 9 1730 01:24:30,720 --> 01:24:34,040 or 10 talented players. You just, you just got to figure 1731 01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:35,640 it out. Otherwise, this season's going 1732 01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:39,240 to be a disappointment. All right, maybe a couple of 1733 01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,080 more hits here. So usually I have a producer. 1734 01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,160 Now I've got to actually, I've got to do all this stuff and I 1735 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:46,200 will, but now I've got to do all this stuff myself. 1736 01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:47,560 My God, I got to figure this stuff out. 1737 01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:50,400 Everybody better like and subscribe. 1738 01:24:50,480 --> 01:24:52,880 Absolutely. I listen, of course we need you 1739 01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:54,600 to subscribe. How many times I watch videos 1740 01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:57,080 and I say, hey, subscribe. Well, now I need you to 1741 01:24:57,080 --> 01:25:00,360 subscribe. It has been a, it has been a lot 1742 01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,640 of fun getting this thing going again. 1743 01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:06,760 This is just, this is the first step down the down a new road 1744 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:11,240 for me, you know, whether it's guests, whether it's being able 1745 01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:14,640 to take calls, whether it's obviously a studio that I want 1746 01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,040 the world to see, but I didn't want to wait. 1747 01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:21,120 You know, when you when you get back knocked down a little bit, 1748 01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:22,800 you get up, you fight, fuck that. 1749 01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:25,800 You get right back up and you get right back in the trenches 1750 01:25:25,800 --> 01:25:28,600 and you get on the air and you do your thing and you figure it 1751 01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:31,760 out like that unkillable rant, you know, might have the best 1752 01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:33,880 cornerback in football, figure it out. 1753 01:25:34,040 --> 01:25:36,320 Might have the best running back and figure it might have the 1754 01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:39,360 best receiver this couple years ago, figure it out. 1755 01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:42,800 All right, WFN made a move, figure it out. 1756 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,960 And that's what I'm in the process of doing and I have felt 1757 01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:50,200 the love I and I really truly, I probably needed it at that 1758 01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:51,840 point. Like, you know, a little bit of 1759 01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:54,160 a validation. I think anybody in this business 1760 01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:02,240 strives, at least those of us who really love it and and care 1761 01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:05,680 about putting meaningful stuff out there. 1762 01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:10,240 I think that you do care what people think about you. 1763 01:26:10,440 --> 01:26:12,880 You do. I think it's natural and 1764 01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:14,160 something else. You going to get on the show, 1765 01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,960 you're going to get you're going to get a human being. 1766 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,200 You know what I mean? I'm going to talk about 1767 01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:22,440 fatherhood. You know, if there's something 1768 01:26:22,440 --> 01:26:25,280 about the world that hits me, I'm going to get into it. 1769 01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:28,640 You know, I'm going to get my dad on at some point. 1770 01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:31,440 My God, he was phenomenal. Wasn't my pops Awesome man. 1771 01:26:31,480 --> 01:26:33,080 Oh man. He is a great guy. 1772 01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:35,040 Great guy. That's where I really didn't 1773 01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,280 think I was going to be able to speak when I was trying. 1774 01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,280 I was saying, you know, I had all my partners and my first 1775 01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:42,200 partner and then I couldn't, I couldn't speak. 1776 01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:43,680 I just couldn't get anything out. 1777 01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:48,000 So it means so much that that he came on and it means so much 1778 01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,720 that you guys gave him love. I ask, hey, this is again the 1779 01:26:51,720 --> 01:26:53,800 early stages. Let's pump this out. 1780 01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:57,520 Unleashed, what you see now, I'll never change, all right? 1781 01:26:57,520 --> 01:27:01,200 But what you see around the, the, the branding of unleashed, 1782 01:27:01,440 --> 01:27:04,480 that's going to change for sure. So if you were here today, 1783 01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:09,240 literally the first step of what is an exciting and new and 1784 01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:13,000 galvanizing journey, man, I really, really thank you for the 1785 01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,800 bottom of my heart.
