We've got a lot of March 5 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,480 Madness. Joe Beningo said. 6 00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:41,120 Some really interesting things about WFAN. 7 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,360 I'm going to get into that as well. 8 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,040 J Rod, what's going on there, buddy? 9 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,280 How was my guy? Jake? 10 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,560 Look at him, look at James. What's up? 11 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,720 How we doing? French fan. 12 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,080 Great weekend of sports, great games. 13 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,360 Yeah. Yeah, always good. 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,000 We've got a little, we've got a little news to share and let's, 15 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,800 this is good. This is a little benchmark here. 16 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:04,360 Let look at this. We got a million views there so 17 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,400 that I wanted to get that out of the out of the gate here. 18 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,520 I'll keep it up a little longer now, but let's celebrate the 19 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,120 moment a little bit. I mean, Chase, you know, we 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,600 started with, well, you know, when you start with no 21 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,840 subscribers and no watched hours and you know, nothing. 22 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,360 And basically you got to figure out how to do this thing and 23 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,560 have my son produce the first week of the show because he was 24 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,600 home for Christmas break. And I had no producer And the 25 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,760 first show was in my basement with Wi-Fi and the mic with the, 26 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,400 with bad Wi-Fi and no microphone. 27 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,440 And it was wow, to, to this. And we're not, we're obviously 28 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,600 still building this thing out. But really, guys, I don't want 29 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,480 to belabor this, but this is, I mean, it's, it's not because of 30 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,000 me, it's because of you. All right? 31 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,760 You guys have followed me. It gets stronger, it gets 32 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,520 bigger, it grows, it becomes more and more, I think immersed 33 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,280 within all of the other platforms out there. 34 00:01:55,280 --> 00:02:00,640 We made national news twice last week, the interview with K where 35 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,360 Michael talked about the politics and and how we thought 36 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,200 it really hurt his show. And then we made national news 37 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,120 with with Noddy pucks. Don the Greco came out and said 38 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,920 that he should have been more aggressive try to get his name 39 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:13,440 on the show. So we're off and running. 40 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,520 That means the world to me. It's just it's just a little 41 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,920 thing that I can get that off there. 42 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,080 As I look at the, you know, I'm I'm, I'm definitely more of a a 43 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,120 windshield guy than a rearview mirror guy, but I wanted to 44 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:26,960 acknowledge that. Thank you very much, man. 45 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,200 And again, I think down the road I'll look back and I'll say, 46 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,120 wow, 1 million views. You made a big deal out of that 47 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,960 big damn deal. But right now for me and right 48 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,280 now for the channel and right now for us, you better believe 49 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,600 it's a big deal. So awesome. 50 00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,120 All right, it's going to be a very unique week here. 51 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,280 So first of all, I know that St. John's got hoes. 52 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,160 Then we're going to do a lot of March Madness coming up in a 53 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,680 bit. I want to start with the WBC. 54 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,920 We'll get to the Beningo stuff. J Rod, I got to figure this out 55 00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:53,360 because we are I I got the word from St. 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,880 John's over the weekend that if they did fly out West, if they 57 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,720 were going to get that, you know, that that W seat out 58 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,760 there, or at least playing the West, that they were going to 59 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,480 leave on Tuesday. Even if they were. 60 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,920 So no matter when they were playing, I'm like, OK, that's, 61 00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:09,400 that's that's that's fine. It's San Diego. 62 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,040 I'm going to have a good time. But we got to figure stuff out 63 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,800 here because I, you know, I, I actually now I got to do the 64 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,760 show on the road. You might you might just have to 65 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,600 put the laptop up when the game's. 66 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,520 Going down and just have like a little shot of you reacting to 67 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,880 the game. That would be money. 68 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,000 That would be phenomenal. We get the most hits ever on 69 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:26,920 that. But I'm worried about some 70 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:30,000 copyright infringement. I know you're kidding, but I 71 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,560 mean, I can't pack this microphone because it's drilled 72 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,840 to my Home Office desk. I, I got to figure this out and 73 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,560 I will, we'll do a lot of content from the road, maybe 74 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,360 shorter variety. Obviously catch up with Minko, 75 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,200 I'm going to be out there with and you know, we'll do, we'll do 76 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,640 a lot of fun stuff, but I, I do have to figure some stuff out. 77 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,280 That's something J&J Rod and I will have to do. 78 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,400 All right, let's get to the WBC right now. 79 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,320 I'd be lied if I said I always loved it like it was there and I 80 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,280 parachute in. I would parachute out a little 81 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,280 bit. The more that it's meant to the 82 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,320 United States, the more I've enjoyed this. 83 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,960 It's it's always meant the world to the Dominican Republic in 84 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,480 Puerto Rico and Japan. You know, it's it's it's a, it's 85 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,160 turned into a really good event. And I got to tell you, sitting 86 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,360 down last night to watch that game. 87 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,079 No, no hyperbole, no bullshit. I was at, I was that was the 88 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:22,400 most excited that I ever was to watch a non Yankee game. 89 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,480 I swear to God, Like I was so jacked to watch to start the 90 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,920 game. You know, you got skeins on the 91 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:30,880 bump. You've got the energy of the 92 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,320 Dominican Republic, who very early in the game broke a WBC 93 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,200 record with with their 15th home run. 94 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,240 And the crazy thing, I'm first of all, hats off to the Team 95 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,200 USA. Awesome. 96 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,840 And Derosa, who you know, was under fire last week, managed a 97 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:46,680 pretty good game. And you know, I very rarely take 98 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,400 you through the mechanics of the game like, well, in the first 99 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,760 inning this happened. I'm, I'm not, I, I really don't 100 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,680 even want to do that, but I almost have to for a second 101 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,960 because last night there was basically something awesome, 102 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,760 like if you love baseball, there was something awesome in every 103 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,160 single inning. Just about first of all, again, 104 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,280 you got skeins on the bump, you got Severino. 105 00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:09,280 Well, you know, Severino's not skeins, but I mean, he was, he 106 00:05:09,280 --> 00:05:12,160 was taking 99 right away. And, and they had the stats up 107 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,200 there with this below from a year ago. 108 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,360 He was a good 2-3 MPH faster than last year on his average. 109 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,040 So you know that he was hopped up. 110 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,560 You know, that Dominicans, they, they, they just did the pure joy 111 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,760 and the celebrations and the energy and the bounce and the 112 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,280 swag. Little more of an understated 113 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,240 presentation by Team USA. And then Caminiero hits that 114 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,080 home run and not a cheapie there, but oh, skins got touched 115 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:35,720 up. Not great. 116 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,520 And and this is what's interesting, right? 117 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,240 So you have theater right there. Then you go to the top of the 118 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,120 third and Team USA is down 1 zip. 119 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,440 You got a couple of guys on second and third. 120 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,560 You have Aaron Judge up and Schwarber, you know, ground ball 121 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,960 to the right side, SAC fly, get a run, squeeze. 122 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,280 You don't think they're gonna get many more off the skins? 123 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,400 And and they didn't, but Judge didn't come through and 124 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,000 Schwarber didn't come through. They both whipped. 125 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,320 So but high drama, right? Then you get to the bottom of 126 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,840 the third and Tatis has gunned down to third base by by Aaron 127 00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:06,720 Judge. Boom, nice baseball play. 128 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,800 Then you get to Gunnar Henderson going deep. 129 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,160 You get to I wrote, how good is Roman Anthony going to be? 130 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,680 My God almighty, Roman Anthony goes yard. 131 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,720 And the crazy thing about that. And again, Deroza took a lot of 132 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,360 heat. He sat down Bregman, which I and 133 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,400 not that Bregman's been playing great in the WBC, but you know, 134 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,880 great fielder veteran, you know, champion in clutch guy. 135 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,240 You trust him up there late. He sat him down. 136 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,880 He put gunner at 3rd as you know, and he did that because 137 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,520 his numbers against Severino were money. 138 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,160 I think he was 7 for 11 with a couple of bombs. 139 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,040 So, you know, he played the hunch and he also, you know, 140 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,480 also played the numbers there too. 141 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,000 But he did something that I'm I'm not sure that every manager 142 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,360 would have done bank. It's automatically rewarded 143 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,240 phenomenal. Now you get to the bottom of the 144 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,600 fourth. Team USA is up to 1 Austin Wells 145 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,640 bases, Juice flies out to left field drama. 146 00:06:52,840 --> 00:06:54,360 Then he gets to the top of the fifth. 147 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800 I thought he got it. We all thought he got it. 148 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,200 Judge robbed by Julio Rodriguez and what a call, what a call. 149 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,400 But when when you hear, you know, spider man robbing 150 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,280 Superman, just phenomenal stuff. And that ball was going to go 151 00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:11,560 over Now, I mean, listen, there's been better plays, 152 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,360 robbing home runs, Griffey, some Craig, Devon White, some sick 153 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,440 stuff, right? But that would have got over the 154 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,960 fence and given the tie, given judge, given, you know, the 155 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,920 backdrop, the energy in the stadium, phenomenal play, right? 156 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,840 Then you go to bottom five, first and 2nd Skeins is pulled. 157 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,600 You're bringing Tyler Rogers who's throwing totally different 158 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,600 stuff, right? Keep that up there. 159 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,440 I'll get to Jay. Totally different stuff then 160 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,880 what skeens is pumping up who's got like 6 or 7 pitches throwing 161 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,960 99 Tyler Rogers comes in throws an 81 mile per hour sinker. 162 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,920 Soto taps into a double play after Skeens is pulled drama. 163 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,000 Then you go to the bottom of the 7th, 2nd and 3rd 2:00 to 1:00 164 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,600 USA Bednar's and you know Bednar walking that tightrope Tatis 165 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,800 with then you have Morte with and Bednar was pumped up and 166 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,320 then obviously to wrap it up you got bottom 9 tying right on 167 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,200 third base 2 to one USA boom punch out. 168 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,200 So now you've, you got Venezuela and Italy on that side and then 169 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,000 you got Team USA trying to bring this home. 170 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,320 And listen, one thing that I don't do, like if you're not 171 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:13,880 into something, I'm not gonna try to shove it down your 172 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,880 throat. Like if you're not into the Big 173 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,360 East tournament, which if you're not a, and you're from the 174 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,200 Northeast, I don't know how you're not into the Big East 175 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,000 tournament. But if you're not into the Big 176 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,920 East tournament, hey, I think you're missing out if you're not 177 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,600 into say the Masters or the US Open. 178 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,760 I think you're missing out if you're not into elements of 179 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,240 March Madness. All the expansion, all the 1st 180 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,400 for whatever. It's not the same as it used to 181 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,360 be when I was young because of the transfer portal in the NI. 182 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,600 Fine that that's your opinion. I respect it. 183 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,280 So I'm not going to shove the WBC down your throat. 184 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,280 I'm just telling you how I've evolved. 185 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,320 It's become more and more viable. 186 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,520 It's become more and more drama filled. 187 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,680 The players take it seriously. And what else could you ask for? 188 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,600 I mean, really from a baseball point and I I've checked in on 189 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,520 the Yankees and I've checked in on the Mets, right, Just to see 190 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,120 what's going on at Tampa in Port Saint Louis, some of the store 191 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,000 and and Saint Lucie, some of the stories like Ben's trying to win 192 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,320 the, you know, the the right field spot and some other 193 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,280 things, right? But you talk about a high level, 194 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,640 high stakes, you know, drama that is all rooted in pride and 195 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:15,960 energy. You've had players. 196 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,960 Now, I know that this bothers people and this isn't the first 197 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,000 year it's been said you've had players. 198 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,760 I don't know if an American has said this. 199 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,280 And if they have, I'm, I'm not trying to gloss over and I just 200 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,440 don't think I've ever heard it. But I've heard some of the 201 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,080 international players say that they view the WBC as more 202 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,600 championship, more meaningful than winning the World Series. 203 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,520 Now you don't really want to hear that, but I'm not going to 204 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,560 push back because I can't relate to their pride in their country. 205 00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:43,440 I've got a lot of pride in our country, but it's it's it's, 206 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,920 it's different with some of the Latin countries and the Latin 207 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,080 countries really just spice this up, man. 208 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,520 So if you don't like it, great. There was a point, admittedly, 209 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,240 where I'm like, it's a little contrived, like a lot of things 210 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,400 that just start even the even the NBA Cup, whatever, that 211 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,480 that's never going to have this kind of energy because it's just 212 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,200 it's just different. But I thoroughly enjoyed it so 213 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,920 far. And let's win the freaking 214 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,000 thing. Let's go, let's go red, white 215 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,880 and blue. I'd love to play Italy. 216 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,080 Do I think Italy's going to win? I mean, at this point, I'm not 217 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,360 going to say no. They're on this magic ride. 218 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,960 But it was a lot of fun. And just to reiterate, and I, 219 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,880 and I mean this, outside of Yankee games and even met 220 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,720 playoff games, like when I'm watching for work, whatever, I 221 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,400 have never sat down with the anticipation that I had for last 222 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,480 night's baseball game. This is going to sound crazy. 223 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,160 It was on par with with me getting like wanting to know 224 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,160 where I'm travelling with St. John's. 225 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,920 And by the way, St. John's got host. 226 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,160 They got host. We'll get to that a little bit. 227 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,280 What a weekend, man. What an absolutely awesome 228 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,160 weekend. That was not a strike. 229 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,040 It was a pick off attempt at China. 230 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,120 No, I'm not. I don't know what's going on 231 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:56,840 with that. I mean, do we have to that by 232 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,480 saying do we have to keep that up that long, get it off? 233 00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:01,160 I don't even know. J Rod, did you at least check in 234 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,640 a little bit, bud? Yes, Sir. 235 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,440 Yeah, I caught AI, caught a couple innings. 236 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,480 I caught when like I think it was Skeens he he struck out 237 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,520 Tatis or no. Tatis got the single the first 238 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:15,960 base. They were like man on 1st and 239 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,000 2nd and then they got the outs. So yeah. 240 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,320 What you not told about the you not talk about the bottom of the 241 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,560 7th when there was 2 on USA? No, it was bottom of the fourth 242 00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:27,280 into top of the fifth, I think. Yes, that's when Schemes was 243 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,160 pulled. That's when Rogers came in and 244 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,080 got sold to tap out. Yeah, No, it's, listen, 245 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,600 everything about it's been phenomenal. 246 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,520 I it just translates to TV. There's energy. 247 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,920 Listen, I I had a chance. I told you, I think I mentioned 248 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,000 this once I went to Santo Domingo. 249 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,160 All right, now, I'll never forget this. 250 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:46,960 I was in college. It was like a group of us, not 251 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,160 with my university, but a group of players. 252 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,480 And we went to the Dominican Republic for about, I think we 253 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,960 were there a good week or so, right? 254 00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:01,120 And it, it was by far the most amazing baseball experience I've 255 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,680 ever had. And I was so amazing for a lot 256 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:05,080 of reasons. Number of the competition was 257 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,120 phenomenal. We did well, but nobody cares 258 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,320 about that. The stadiums were just so 259 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,120 unique. I remember actually getting off 260 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,400 the team bus True story. And this young Dominican boy, 261 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:22,120 God, J Rod, he had to be 8, didn't have sneakers. 262 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,160 It was like milk cartoons and shoes. 263 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,880 True story. Yeah. 264 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,080 And he was actually offering and he didn't. 265 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,560 He didn't. I didn't understand what he was 266 00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:32,960 saying, but he wound up pointing and, like, almost like feigning, 267 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,360 like how you would Polish something. 268 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,000 He was basically asking us if he could Polish our cleats to make 269 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,120 money. I mean, I only had a few bucks 270 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,400 on me, but I'm like, absolutely. And it was just awesome. 271 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,560 Like, just the the stands are so unique, man. 272 00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:48,880 Like the cowbells and the Dominican flags. 273 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,600 It's like they, I love what they do. 274 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,480 I, I, I love it, man. They turn it into almost like a 275 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,960 football, soccer, basketball environment. 276 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,480 And all you had to do, and I'm talking about the first inning. 277 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,840 All you had to do is when, when they when they panned the crowd 278 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,000 and you saw those Dominican fans with their, with their Dr. 279 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,480 jerseys and their hats like first inning reacting to a 280 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,400 strikeout or or a base hit, whatever it was, the home run, 281 00:13:13,680 --> 00:13:17,720 the look in their eyes, ma'am, the intensity, it matters. 282 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,160 And again, I'm not going to try to sell anybody on it. 283 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,600 It is really turned into for me, an awesome event that I now 284 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,880 really enjoy. I love it. 285 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,920 There we go. Yeah, I mean, it's cool, you 286 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,040 know, it gives a bit of an Olympic feel to the game of 287 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,400 baseball, say. Yeah, I think the difference 288 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,160 fair. I think it's better than the 289 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,520 Olympics. I really do. 290 00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:42,920 I do not that I tuned in really much for the Olympics this year 291 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,760 at all. I don't care about the Olympics. 292 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,000 I, I just, I don't, I don't like some of the events I do. 293 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,400 I watch some of the golf. I started to watch that when 294 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,040 they implemented that a couple of years ago. 295 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,360 Obviously, although he's watched the basketball, you know, the 296 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,800 gymnastics is amazing because those, those young ladies are 297 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,520 phenomenal. Like what they do, some of the 298 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,600 stuff they do is crazy, you know, like you start to get some 299 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,280 of the summer activities, like the pole vault, like just, it's 300 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,000 so hard. Like how could you not watch 301 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,800 with intrigue? But I don't know, I, I think I 302 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,040 know all these players. It's really, it's really like, 303 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,040 you know, see one of the thing, think about this, Jay. 304 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,480 To me, it's really like an All Star game on steroids, right, 305 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,520 Because if you look at all the All Star games, you know, 306 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,840 football, I, I don't even know what it is anymore. 307 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,200 Like it went from, you know, playing real football, then 308 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:30,400 hitting. I remember, you know, Tiki 309 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,720 telling me that he was telling who who was it was it right? 310 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,680 It was somebody where he was getting tackled in the Pro Bowl 311 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,360 and he was like, hey, just lay me down gently as he was getting 312 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,960 tackled, right. And and but even a couple of 313 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,720 years before Tiki and way before that, like they would play with 314 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,480 Frosty, they would play with purpose, right? 315 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,880 And then it like was like flag a beach football and and the kid 316 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,000 Edwards from the Pats, remember he shredded his knee. 317 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,120 I had to stop that. There's like, I don't even know 318 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,800 what it is. It's like a glorified flag 319 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,120 football fest. So it's terrible. 320 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,920 I don't even know what they do or where it is. 321 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,840 Don't care. The NBA for a while it was still 322 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,640 really enjoyable, but it's, it's become an absolute joke. 323 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,280 I don't know the exact scores of hockey, but I remember for years 324 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:17,120 it was like 11897. To me at least, the baseball All 325 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,800 Star game really truly does represent, I think it represents 326 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,760 like the the closest approximation to what it's 327 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,760 really like when you play the actual game because guys, you 328 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,960 know, guys are still throwing 95, guys are still swinging 329 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,160 hard, guys are still chasing balls and pursuing balls with 330 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,840 vigor trying to make plays. They're still throwing peas 331 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,720 across the diamond like it. It looks like baseball. 332 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,840 So this to me is the ultimate All Star game that includes the 333 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,800 world. And it's it's so good for the 334 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,160 growth of the game. You know, there's some people 335 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,480 who don't love it. That's fine. 336 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,360 You know, process it how you will. 337 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,240 I'm into it man. Officially. 338 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,560 Quick side swipe. So do you think that those 339 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,240 players, you know, comparatively from like baseball to football 340 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:04,080 All Star games, do you think it's because there's like less 341 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,880 of a tendency for like a crazy career debilitating injury 342 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:13,240 within baseball that players kind of keep up a similar play 343 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,880 style in their All Star game or WBC Classic compared to like the 344 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,080 other All Stars I. Don't you know? 345 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,400 I don't, I don't know. I listen, I'm telling you how I 346 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:25,120 feel from my point of view, if I was a general manager, you know, 347 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,360 and I'm, I'm running the Pirates. 348 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,520 Do I really need to see both skins out there before Saint 349 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,520 Patty's Day dialing things up against probably the best lineup 350 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,200 in the history of baseball anywhere? 351 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,800 Certainly one through 7 or so. I mean to navigate that 352 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:44,400 Dominican lineup. Wow, it's just dog, dog, dog 353 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,080 studs. It's it's insane. 354 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:52,600 So I, I don't, I don't know, maybe baseball players are are I 355 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,160 don't want to say wired a little differently, but I can't explain 356 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,200 it. I, I don't know. 357 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,360 I, I think I do think a lot of it is rooted in pride. 358 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:01,200 I do. Definitely. 359 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,920 I do like when you grow up in Japan and you're a baseball 360 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:10,240 player, your process is very different than, say, in America. 361 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,319 That doesn't mean that, like, a lot of Americans don't work 362 00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:15,520 hard, but like in Japan, they practice a lot more than they 363 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,400 actually play games. And in the Dominican Republican, 364 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,720 you know, Puerto Rico and other Latin areas, like they really 365 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,480 are, are fighting to get off the island. 366 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,440 Like there's an old expression, hey, you walk. 367 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,120 You don't get off the island by walking. 368 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,640 You get off the island by raking you off the island by putting 369 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,720 balls in the seat and Havron pulls all the screws in the gap. 370 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,000 So it's like in a lot of ways, they're fighting for their for 371 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,280 their lives. And even when they get those 372 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,920 exorbitant contracts, that doesn't fade so they don't lose 373 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,440 their connection to their homeland, which which which I 374 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,360 think what has happened now is that's kind of pushed us a 375 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:57,320 little bit to view it a little bit more seriously and through a 376 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,480 more competitive prism. Like we might not celebrate as 377 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,080 much. We might process things a little 378 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,440 bit. It's a little bit more of a 379 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,320 business approach, at least what they put out. 380 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,320 I don't know that that's like a broad brush in the stereotype, 381 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,960 but it is. I mean, the Dominican team 382 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,400 celebrates, you know, everything and their presence, I mean, it's 383 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,240 palpable. Team USA little different. 384 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,840 And that's how we do business and that's how they do business. 385 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,840 And it's a great, it's a great contrast, but the pride that is 386 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,320 burning, you know, within Harper and Judge and Schwarber and 387 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,280 schemes and wit who has made some sick plays and shortstop, 388 00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,280 it's been a lot of fun. So hopefully you guys enjoyed 389 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,560 it. I certainly enjoyed it. 390 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:40,280 That's only one thing on the table. 391 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,960 We got a lot to do today until I get into the stuff about what 392 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,040 Joe B said about the fan. You saw that? 393 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,120 It's going to be spicy. Yes, Sir. 394 00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:50,480 Yeah, First saw the tweet and then you sent over the quote. 395 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,920 Man, I've got a lot of opinions on that. 396 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,640 I'm sure you do. I've got a lot of opinions on 397 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,040 that, which I will obviously get to. 398 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,920 All right, so let's get to the Johnnies now. 399 00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:01,960 First of all, and I said this on the air the other night with 400 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,440 Mink. I don't know what it sounded 401 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,760 like, you know, because I wasn't there when Hulk Hogan in the 402 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,880 Iron Cheek to win the championship, you know, and 403 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,400 Hulkamania was born. And then obviously us 404 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,360 WrestleMania and all that stuff at the Garden. 405 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,680 I wasn't there. But I don't know that it could 406 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,800 have sounded much better and louder and different. 407 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,560 And it's that perfect combination of like energy and 408 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,640 anger and anticipation and territoriality, you name it. 409 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,640 That place was on fire on Saturday night. 410 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:41,880 And St. John's just kicked the crap out 411 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:47,400 of Yukon, just destroyed them. So I was surprised when it, when 412 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,520 the seating came out. I was surprised and I was 413 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,560 disappointed all right, but I'm also of the mindset. 414 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,840 Quit crying now. Saint John's isn't crying about 415 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,000 it. A lot of fans are. 416 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,200 I get it. You want to know like. 417 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,040 That. I, I also should probably say 418 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,520 that I don't, I don't mean the diehards, but there's a lot of 419 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,360 people at this time of the year who kind of jump in now and 420 00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:11,400 their first reaction is, and, and it's a fair one. 421 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,280 I'm not saying it's off base. Like, wait a second. 422 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,840 So Saint John's won the Big East tournament, Saint John's won the 423 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,120 regular season championship, Saint John's had a net ranking, 424 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,320 which is a, which is an important thing, of 17 inside 425 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,360 the top 20. They had a Ken Palm ranking of 426 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,600 17. They won 19 of 20 games to 427 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,120 finish the year. They were ranked 13th in the 428 00:20:35,120 --> 00:20:39,080 country going into the weekend. And they played UConn, who's a 429 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,880 two seed, and it's been top five and top 10 all year and they 430 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:47,280 beat him two out of three times. So why is Saint John's A5 seed? 431 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,320 Well, I mean, there's a couple of things at play here. 432 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,960 Number one, the Big East is really down. 433 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,040 And when you when you look at UCONN's resume, they have more 434 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,480 Quad 1 success. And there's a reason why the 435 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,200 quad one matters. Now, I'm not the ultimate 436 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:06,920 arbiter here. I don't I do think it's a little 437 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,400 unfair that there are five seed. I do what I think is patently 438 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,400 offensive is that they're shipping them out to California. 439 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,640 That doesn't make any sense. Like, in my mind, I'm saying 440 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,800 when when they beat UConn and the matter in which they beat 441 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,960 them, right? Not to mention St. 442 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,640 John's didn't trail in the entire Big East tournament. 443 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,920 They went in and they whacked Providence. 444 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,840 They went in and they whacked Seton Hall. 445 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,480 They went in and they dismantled Yukon, Boom, boom, boom. 446 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,920 So I thought that they would be more justly rewarded, but they 447 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,640 weren't. So, you know, it is what it is. 448 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,520 I think the thing that's a little bit unfair is really the 449 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,880 location again. And I was just trying to plot 450 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,800 this out in my own mind as I was getting ready for. 451 00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,560 All right, So what do I think is going to happen with travel? 452 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,160 Where are we going to go? When do you think we'll leave? 453 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,960 And I was told that we were going to leave early, like if 454 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,480 they did get shipped out West and they played Friday, we were 455 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,360 leaving Tuesday, which we are, as I said before, leave tomorrow 456 00:22:10,360 --> 00:22:13,240 night. So not that I'm complaining and 457 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,680 not that you guys really care. You just want the content. 458 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,880 I get it. I get to go on a charter plane 459 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,680 to San Diego. I'm not going to complain much. 460 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,120 J Rod. I mean, if I'm complaining, 461 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,800 let's just hold on. Let's just get a little reality. 462 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,120 Thank God I've remained completely grounded because I've 463 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:33,640 gotten older. Like I haven't changed at all 464 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:34,680 with that. I never will. 465 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:40,160 If I was complaining today, I mean really complaining, we got 466 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,400 to go to San Diego, 83° and sunny. 467 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,640 You got a thermostat over the entire city. 468 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,360 And I haven't been to San Diego in a minute. 469 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,240 It's been a while. It's been like 20 years. 470 00:22:50,120 --> 00:22:51,760 I get to go. It's like I got to take a 471 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:57,160 connecting flight out of JFKI, drive my car to a private 472 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,560 airport, and I walk on a charter plane and have food waiting for 473 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:06,560 me, and I have two big seats and I could sleep, I could read, I 474 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,800 could do music, I could do work, which I'll do all four of those 475 00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:12,320 and then go to a beautiful hotel for a couple nights. 476 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,840 If I complain about and get a chance to call NCAA tournament 477 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,920 games again, if I'm complaining about that, it is time to leave 478 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,280 the business because that is a phenomenal few days. 479 00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:26,800 Yeah. No, I mean, that's a, you know, 480 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,800 obviously not a vacation, but that's a nice trip. 481 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,720 A vacation, that's a nice trip. There we go. 482 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,160 Hey, I don't have to go and practice. 483 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,640 I just got to go and do the games. 484 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,560 True, You know what I mean? Now I'll go to the shoot arounds 485 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,280 and I'll go to the walkthroughs and you know, I might sit. 486 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,200 Rick's a little different. See, when Mullen was the coach 487 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:50,440 and, and others as well, they would let Mink and I sit in like 488 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,480 the way it goes when you're on the road with a college team, 489 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,560 you'll, they have like a big spread for, for all the meals, 490 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,320 right? And it's usually in a, in a 491 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,280 conference room. And I mean all the, for the 492 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,640 eggs, the pancakes, the bacon, the sausage, then the apple 493 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,320 juice. I mean the protein shakes, I 494 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,840 mean the granola, it's full spread everything. 495 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,400 And when you're eating, that's when they, they roll in the big 496 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,040 TV and they just have it on loop and they've already done their 497 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:19,080 scouting and the players are eating and watching and they 498 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,160 splice it up. So it's literally play, play, 499 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,640 play, play, play. The video coordinators do that 500 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,280 and they're just watching who they're playing and they're just 501 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,960 getting a better sense of what's coming their way. 502 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,480 Rick doesn't, Rick doesn't let us do that. 503 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,320 We can, we can eat, but we've got to, we've got to be, you 504 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,200 know, a little bit after the team and doesn't want us to 505 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,840 watch film, which is fine. Every coach has their process. 506 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,280 I have no problem with that. But really, outside of calling 507 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,360 the actual games, we'll be having a Margarita. 508 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,120 So there we go. Am I going to be doing nothing? 509 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,280 Explore in San Diego? How about? 510 00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:55,200 I got to get now I got to see Mink with a Margarita in them. 511 00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:58,640 That's my God, that would be. That would be incredible man. 512 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:00,600 Yeah, man. Listen, it it it is horseshit. 513 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,480 It really is. When you look at this again, 514 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,480 just listen to the resume. Biggie's regular season champs. 515 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,760 Biggie's tournament champs. I said 17. 516 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,080 I'm sorry. Net of 1617, Ken Palm beat UConn 517 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,960 2 out of three times. They won 19 to 20 and he's 518 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,280 shipping them out West now. Because I was starting, I said 519 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,560 this before as I was starting to structure my my week here. 520 00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:22,960 Part of me was like, wow, it would be easier if they're 521 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,600 placed in Philly because then I don't have to go down a day 522 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,320 early. I could do an extra show from my 523 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,040 office and then figure things out on the road. 524 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,720 I could drive down to Philly, like I drove up to Providence 525 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,240 last year and WFAN wound up getting me a radio station like 526 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:37,640 the sports station up in Providence. 527 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,320 And I did that Thursday and Friday show with Sal. 528 00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:44,240 I was on location in Providence.

I think it was 2001. 567 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,480 Long story short. That's by the way, that's going 568 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,800 to be a new segment. Long story short because I said, 569 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,400 oh, real. Although it should really be 570 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,200 short story long. That's really what we can. 571 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:42,920 Who are we kidding, Jay? Ron. 572 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,840 It's got to be short story. Long there is a comment last 573 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,880 episode I was dying it was like this dude just loves like the 574 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,640 soliloquies. I can't help it. 575 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,400 I know, I know Short story long with BT Anyway, short story 576 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,280 long. So in in Las Vegas, I rented a 577 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,440 house with three of the guys that I worked with, the radio 578 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,080 station. And I mean, that's, that was the 579 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:03,720 story. I'm one of those. 580 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,280 I was going to tell you one of the stories, but I'm not. 581 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,560 So we're like me, I'm like, I have to see Tony Gwynn hit in 582 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,120 person before he retires. And he had announced his 583 00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:16,080 retirement. So we're in Nevada and I'm like, 584 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,160 no, let's, let's go to let's drive to San Diego. 585 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,280 Let's go. So we go to sit, we get in my 586 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:24,760 truck, we drive me, my buddy Chad Ray and Steve and myself go 587 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,760 to San Diego having a sick time listening to music. 588 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,000 We get a little fleabag motel. Wouldn't none of us have any 589 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,440 money and we get the cheapest. So they're playing the Atlanta 590 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,280 Braves, right? So got it. 591 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,680 It was a maybe say like a Wednesday night and we get there 592 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,960 was and we get 5. This is where the Chargers used 593 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,920 to play football at Qualcomm. All right, so we again, we have 594 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,640 the money. We get $5 seats behind home 595 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,000 plate of like in the second level, like the football, maybe 596 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,160 even 3rd, 5 bucks and just banging back beers, going nuts, 597 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,600 whatever. And then Lord knows what we did 598 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,360 that night. The next day they're playing a 599 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,560 double header against against the Braves and Maddox is 600 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,480 pitching and I think, I think I haven't got the second start. 601 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,760 I actually got a baseball from Greg Maddox, but that's not the 602 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,600 story. So the first night. 603 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,240 Now the whole purpose of the trip is to go to San Diego to 604 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:14,280 see Tony Gwynn swing a bat in person because aside from Ted 605 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,800 Williams, he's the most gifted, skilled tech like technician and 606 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,560 surgeon to ever touch a piece of wood and try to hit a spherical 607 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,600 object. Me, I got to see Tony hit. 608 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,640 So we got a little delayed. We were doing whatever we were 609 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,240 doing, and we're in the parking lot of Qualcomm and we're 610 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,240 getting ready to walk into the stadium and I hear, oh, God, I'm 611 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,360 here now batting for the Padres right fielder Tony Gwynn. 612 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,240 Oh, my gosh, this is first step back. 613 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,160 Come on. Right. 614 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,560 So I'm like, shit. I was like a little bit annoyed, 615 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,520 but not a big deal right now. We settle in, we get another 616 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:47,720 beer. We go up to the upper deck 617 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,880 behind a plate again. Short story long, somebody hits 618 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,200 a ball down the right field line. 619 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,040 He's chasing it, pulls his hamstring. 620 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,480 He's out for a month and a half. I never get to see him hit. 621 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,000 I never. Got Oh my gosh. 622 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,680 Yes, the one at bat. When I went, I was in the 623 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,360 parking lot walking into the stadium and then when we get in 624 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,040 there, I see him make a defensive play. 625 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,880 He comes up limping and he's gone. 626 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,240 I think he missed like a month or two. 627 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:11,600 Like it was, it was kind of a serious. 628 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,120 That is insane dude. That's the last time I was in 629 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,440 San Diego. That's the last time. 630 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,320 Well, let's hope for some better luck this time, alright? 631 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:20,960 Yeah, yeah. Listen, I'll do this more a 632 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,160 little bit tomorrow. But, you know, you look at the 633 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:29,040 match up here, Northern Northern Iowa is a is an interesting one. 634 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,560 You know, I mean, listen, St. John's, St. 635 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,040 John's obviously supposed to win this. 636 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,960 I saw their 10 1/2 point favorites. 637 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,280 I don't get too wrapped up in that number one, because I call 638 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,280 the games and I would never touch that stuff doing games 639 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,560 that I call. But you know, spreads in the 640 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,720 NCAA tournament don't mean a whole lot to me, all right, 641 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,280 Because I've seen St. John's offense in the half court 642 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,000 struggle enough to know that, you know, if it's the wrong 643 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,480 night and the other teams banging in triples and you know, 644 00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:55,920 and it's a bad match up in terms of style. 645 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,440 I'm not even saying that it is, but you take nothing for 646 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,080 granted. So it's going to be a tough 647 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,440 battle and they're a buttoned up defensive team and they're going 648 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:06,240 to talk about Northern, Northern Iowa and they're going to look 649 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,600 to take the air out of the ball and St. 650 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,480 John's wants to get up and down and play at a good pace. 651 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,360 So it is an interesting contrast. 652 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,640 That's the first thing that I see. 653 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,160 The next thing that I see would be if St. 654 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,400 John's is able to win that first game, and they should. 655 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,640 Now you got to go through Kansas and that's where Zooby was. 656 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,480 So and, and they always do this stuff, like they always try to 657 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,320 look for stories and try to make it like cute and like, oh, 658 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,400 remember this coach, this rivalry here and hey, if this 659 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,200 team advances and that team advances, oh, remember when this 660 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,520 happened back in the day? I actually kind of like that 661 00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:37,440 they do that. And I think Kansas is, is 662 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,400 beatable. I think St. 663 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,200 John's is actually better than Kansas. 664 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,840 That doesn't mean they're going to win doesn't mean Kansas is 665 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,080 going to win their match up, but it it does equate to some real 666 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,160 theater and it's an absolute beast of of a region, which we 667 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,280 get into a little bit afterwards. 668 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,840 Are three Bernie questions coming up in a bit. 669 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,200 Not yet, you know, and then you just look at this magical ride 670 00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,960 and it it really it it's amazing. 671 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:03,560 I, I was going to make the other day during, I guess this would 672 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:04,840 have been during the Seton Hall game. 673 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,400 I think on the air. I, I found the stat. 674 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,840 I didn't, I don't even know who found it. 675 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,280 Otherwise I would give them credit. 676 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:17,120 St. John's is 42 and four in Big E's 677 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:21,080 play under Rick Pitino, like in their last 46 something crazy. 678 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,920 I mean, it's just it's amazing what this guy's done and how 679 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,560 fast he's done it.

I really don't care. 712 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,280 Anything that's natively written about me. 713 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,480 Don't care. I used to. 714 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,720 I fully transparent with that. It used to bother me. 715 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,360 Doesn't matter at all. Don't care, don't care. 716 00:34:08,159 --> 00:34:10,800 Love the support, appreciate the support, the haters. 717 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:11,840 It's fuel. It's all good. 718 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,440 Some people get personal. I just keep it moving, never 719 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,080 respond, whatever. I'm not even talking about that. 720 00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:22,719 I'm talking about people who seemingly lack the intellect, 721 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,920 the ability to have depth in their mind to process something 722 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,480 that I write and I I might be pretty convoluted with some of 723 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,120 the stories I tell short story long, I'll give you that terms 724 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,239 of writing. I mean, I'm pretty freaking 725 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,880 succinct. It's very rare that you don't 726 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,440 know what I mean when I write like that, That's that I could 727 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,000 do that in my sleep and commutative thought. 728 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,360 And yet some of you bozos still don't understand it. 729 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,520 I'm I'm kidding, but you just don't. 730 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,400 So when I put a tweet out like Rick Pitino's the greatest head 731 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,719 coach in the history of college basketball, which by the way, I 732 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,040 believe it's, it's fine to refute that. 733 00:35:00,240 --> 00:35:02,760 Of course, it's subjective. There's a lot of other names. 734 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,120 What about John Wooden? What about Adolf Rupp at 735 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:06,880 Kentucky? What about, let's say, Jim 736 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,080 Calhoun at UConn with three championships? 737 00:35:09,240 --> 00:35:10,880 What about Coach K? Obviously. 738 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,480 What about Bobby Knight, perfect season back in 76, the great 739 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,640 team with Steve Alford? I understand. 740 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,440 I get it. I'm not saying my answer is 741 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:23,200 right, but the response is this is the shallowness that drives 742 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,440 me insane. Coach K's got more wins. 743 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:30,480 No shit he's got more wins. Like the bottom line assessment 744 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:35,080 by some of you, it really it I, I just it's annoying. 745 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:39,960 It's it annoys me because you are some of you, not all of you. 746 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:45,360 Some of you are unable to just get past the first little speed 747 00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,800 bump and have an intelligent dissection of a topic where 748 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,080 there's no right or wrong answer and actually point to stuff and 749 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,920 incorporate that in your pushback. 750 00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,880 Souls goes got more wins. Souls goes got more 751 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,720 championships. Dude, wow, you you know what 752 00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:05,440 that limited history you're amazing like, and this happens a 753 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,520 lot. Aaron Judge is and I believe 754 00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,000 this, but it doesn't mean that that I'm right. 755 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:12,240 Aaron Judge is the greatest baseball player that I've ever 756 00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:13,320 seen. No World Series. 757 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:18,160 He can't pay. He's not what like the inability 758 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:22,000 to separate certain things? Is it it? 759 00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,960 It really is. It's actually sad. 760 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:26,960 So anyway, just had to get that out there. 761 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,840 Now, I'll tell you why Rick Pitino is the greatest college 762 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,920 coach in the history of college basketball. 763 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,360 Now, first, let's take a little history lesson here. 764 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,960 And when you do stuff like this, and I said this with the Hall of 765 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,560 Fame that came up the other day on the show, like invariably you 766 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,760 wind up denigrating others. And that's not my intention. 767 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,200 I'm not to to elevate. I'm going to tell you why I 768 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,920 believe Rick is that guy, but I'm not it's not going to like, 769 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,480 oh, let me take a shot at Wooden to tear him back or Coach K. 770 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,880 No, I'm going to provide some context here. 771 00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,880 Would you please understand one thing that John wouldn't want as 772 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,000 much as that? I mean, John wouldn't the 773 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,600 ultimate winner. You know, I know all the 774 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:02,680 numbers. Trust me. 775 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,320 I know that Coach KS got more wins. 776 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,640 I know, I know, I know John Wooden. 777 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,640 But John Wooden did it clean. John Wooden had a money man. 778 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,960 John. UCLA used to pay people. 779 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,840 Look it up. All right, They did like this. 780 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,360 This thought that it was the cleanest operation. 781 00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,560 They just got the best players and they had this tremendous 782 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,040 connectivity. And John Wooden was the greatest 783 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,640 strategist and the greatest motivator in the history of 784 00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,040 college basketball. He had Lou Alcindor. 785 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:33,280 Yeah. Bill Walton. 786 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,080 All right, That's not the take away from them because he got 787 00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,040 them. They had the money, man. 788 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,880 All right, Coach K phenomenal dude, phenomenal. 789 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:43,920 Jim Calhoun. If I got to win one game, 790 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,840 honestly, if I can't pick Pitino, I really might pick Jim 791 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,960 Calhoun because I knew that they were tough and good and he's a 792 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,320 great coach and they were going to be ready, right? 793 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,000 Coach K outside of Army with all theirs, I love West Point. 794 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,560 You know that coached at one spot. 795 00:37:59,960 --> 00:38:03,920 See, to me, greatness is also about being adaptable and 796 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,920 transforming and changing with the times. 797 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,680 So let me just take out a little journey. 798 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:10,480 Rick Petit. I'm not going to even get into 799 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:13,120 Boston University and Rick did great things there as well. 800 00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,280 But and respect to be you the terriers, but I got to start a 801 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,600 little bit after that. So when he goes to Providence, 802 00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,520 the three-point shot is introduced. 803 00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,800 Everybody's like that's that's that's not a successful shot. 804 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,440 That's not a good high rate of efficiency. 805 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,600 We can't play basketball that way. 806 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:29,640 We need to dump it into the post. 807 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,200 I don't know why I always talk like that when I'm trying to 808 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,880 talk like an old coach. I don't know why, but I do think 809 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,440 that it's it, it gets the best. It's like my antiquated older 810 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,000 voice that's resistant to change. 811 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,120 I don't know if it works, but that's what I do, right? 812 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,960 No, but we got to sit those down screens and we got to pump it 813 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,760 into the big down low. Let's go. 5 passes before we 814 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:48,600 shoot. All right? 815 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,960 Rick comes out and says, no, I got my own math here. 816 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,200 So we're going to embrace the shot and if we miss a bunch, but 817 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,520 we make a couple, that math is better than you going for two 818 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,120 every game. So first of all, he was the 819 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,640 first true pioneer to embrace the three-point shot. 820 00:39:05,720 --> 00:39:10,040 Check Now the fact that he's done it and I'll just throw BU 821 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,120 on the table for a minute. The fact that he's done it 822 00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,400 basically everywhere, whether it's a small school like Big U 823 00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:21,280 BU, whether it's a small ish smallish Providence school in a 824 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,280 monster without comparison at that point. 825 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,000 Best conference by far in the world, right? 826 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,720 Get that team to the final four and then go, I'm thinking about 827 00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:33,520 the Celtics and the Knicks, even though we did very well with the 828 00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,720 Knicks. But then he goes to Kentucky and 829 00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:38,360 one more inch and the plug would have been pulled on their 830 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,760 program and they would have had no basketball and they would 831 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,680 have got the death penalty. And he goes and he wins a 832 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,400 championship. He revives them immediately. 833 00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:48,880 First year, no scholar. Like, it's just what he did 834 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,240 there was insane. Then he basically does the same 835 00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:53,280 at Louisville. Then he goes to St. 836 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,520 John's, and nobody knows this more than me. 837 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,080 The brand was dead. The basketball program, it was 838 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:00,480 over. It was a wrap. 839 00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:02,440 The only thing that we had about St. 840 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,000 John's was history. And I love it, but it gets old. 841 00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:08,120 Hey, remember when Chris Mullen did this? 842 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,360 Yeah, I do. I'd like to remember something 843 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,200 else here. I'd like to reference something 844 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,080 else. Remember when Walter Berry 845 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,960 blocked Pearl? Yep, Yep, I remember. 846 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,080 I was 11. I was in the car, heard my I 847 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,960 heard the game with my dad Ron Rowan hit the baseline, jump 848 00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,560 shot Walter Berry 86 Big East championship finally ran down 849 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,520 the court to play defense and swatted pro from behind. 850 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,840 I remember yes. You know, remember when Mark 851 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,240 Jackson was drafted in the first round and went to the Knicks and 852 00:40:33,240 --> 00:40:35,640 he was the rookie of the year? Yes, I remember. 853 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,120 It could be. I used to have the same Nike 854 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,440 dunks that Mark had, and we used to do the same thing in CYO that 855 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,800 he used to do. I remember, you know, the late, 856 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:47,840 great, love him, Malik Sealy. Yes, yes, I remember Malik 857 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,600 swooping to the hole and look like a ballerina, scoring more 858 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,960 than 2000 points at St. John's. 859 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,640 I remember. We all remember, but we also 860 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,520 remember where St. John's went from. 861 00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,840 Every kid had a starter jacket, unless you were rocking the 862 00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,960 Hoyas and that was that. That's just the way it was. 863 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,520 And every kid had red and white Nike dunks. 864 00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:13,800 Every kid and everybody wanted to be Chris Mullen. 865 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:15,360 And everybody loved Louis like he was. 866 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,360 Even if you were Irish, he was your grandfather. 867 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,480 That's what it felt like, right? And then it disappeared. 868 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,600 Like I can go to Modell's or this before, like some of these 869 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,080 other bit, like did before Dick's, go to Modell's, go to 870 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,880 Herman's and Kings Plaza, get Johnny's gear. 871 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,960 I remember being in Sports Authority when I was in college 872 00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,640 looking for a St. John's hoodie. 873 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,720 They're what I saw UConn, I saw Duke, I saw Michigan. 874 00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:40,960 I saw everything. So Arizona, you know, Mike 875 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:44,520 Bibby, Miles Simon, you know, Lude Olson in New York, there 876 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,640 was nothing for St. John's. 877 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,120 And I know that he's been able to restore St. 878 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,960 John's because of the money. I get that. 879 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,680 Understood. But Kentucky spent $22 million 880 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,120 on their roster this year. I know Kentucky beat St. 881 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,120 John's earlier in the year. You tell me you had the better 882 00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,040 season. St. 883 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,240 John's or Kentucky St. John's, all right. 884 00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:05,480 And all of these different things, the adaptability and the 885 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,600 embracing early of the three-point shot conference 886 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,000 realignment when he was at Louisville, the Big East was one 887 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,320 way, you know, when he was Saint John's. 888 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:18,520 Now it's another way, all right, Five different schools, the 889 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,880 portal, the Nils. And here's the crazy part about 890 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,320 Rick Pitino. The best thing, I really believe 891 00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,280 this, aside from like motivation and all that stuff, I think that 892 00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:33,080 Rick's greatest trait as a coach is truly player development. 893 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:37,480 And now you've got to do it in a microwave setting because back 894 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,920 in the day, like Donovan Mitchell, Louisville come in and 895 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,760 bricks told the story. His mechanics wasn't really pure 896 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,200 shooter. Well, guess what? 897 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,880 You know, he's not leaving after one year because he's frustrated 898 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,480 because he didn't play or didn't play well. 899 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:51,520 You know, he's not leaving after one year because school wise 900 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:55,600 going to give him $575,000 more than Louisville. 901 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,200 You know what I mean? With the NIL, he's not looking 902 00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:58,880 to bounce. He's staying. 903 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:02,320 And when he's in that Rick Pitino laboratory every single 904 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,240 day, look at him now, one of the best players in the NBA now 905 00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:07,720 that's because of him and him putting the work in. 906 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:10,480 He said it so I don't I don't think I'm I'm out of school 907 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,960 saying it Without Rick Pitino, he's not this good because he 908 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,120 showed him the way. And without Rick Pitino, Zubi is 909 00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,560 not this good. Just not. 910 00:43:19,240 --> 00:43:21,320 He averaged 2 1/2 points a game. But Kansas didn't play. 911 00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,840 Bill Self looked at him like, you know, I got AI, got a good 912 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,360 athlete at the end of the bench, 69, could run, could jump. 913 00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,160 He ain't playing much for me. Instead, he goes down as an 914 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:34,360 icon, a Titan of the St. John's basketball program #1 915 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,480 because Zooby put the work in. But Rick showed him that the 916 00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:39,840 like, the requisite work that you got to put in. 917 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:45,400 So for me, and I can't prove this like if John Wooden, if if 918 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:50,200 John Wooden was transported to college basketball today with 919 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,800 this, whatever his ultimate skill set was, the things that 920 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:57,840 he was best at right probably organization, team structure. 921 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,160 I'm I'm just guessing, but I think and I've read his book. 922 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:04,320 So that is part of it. The period of of of success. 923 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:10,240 It's it's phenomenal the those are transferable, but would they 924 00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:14,920 be as successful with guys leaving for more money and the 925 00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,920 different conference? Like my answer is is probably 926 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,200 no. And I know that Rick Pitino has 927 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,720 done it. So that's why I think Rick is 928 00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:28,400 the best coach of all time. I really do Jay Rod, you want to 929 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,200 pop in for a SEC? I don't need you to push back. 930 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,280 But you are a big college basketball fan. 931 00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,280 You don't have to stamp that a yes or a no. 932 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,680 But I'm, I'm curious as you hear that, what do you think? 933 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:39,880 No, I mean, I think I like your take and I think it's a pretty 934 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,480 unique take. I think, you know, yours is very 935 00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,400 much built upon. Obviously, you know, you always 936 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,680 say this about Pitino, the adaptability sort of approach 937 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,720 and that sort of switching, switching teams and and finding 938 00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:55,280 greatness wherever he goes. And I think I think that's a 939 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,840 great point compared to like a lot of the guys, guys like a 940 00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,840 Bayheim, a Coach K Ashevsky, where you really look at them 941 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,800 for, you know, they're one great run with a single team that 942 00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:09,120 maybe it consisted of one or potentially multiple national 943 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,280 championships, but they only really did it with one place. 944 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,720 And yeah, I mean, for me, like, I don't know, you Revere a guy 945 00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:20,160 like Bayheim, but you also look at some of the later years and 946 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,400 you go, I mean, they were a little disappointing so. 947 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,280 A little. A lottle. 948 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:26,920 A lottle. I. 949 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,600 Mean, especially, especially just like my you know, my first 950 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,520 couple of years at the school were God awful. 951 00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:38,280 Like, I mean, it was, you know, his last season was the year I 952 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,960 think with, I mean, and with but what I think the last season was 953 00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,800 the season. After with Joe. 954 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,400 Gerard and Kadari Richmond and JJ Starling's. 955 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,720 First season potentially, yeah. I. 956 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,000 Remember that team well? Brutal. 957 00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:55,720 And then Kadari Richmond went. The Saint John's got a little 958 00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:58,240 better the seat. First he went to Seat Hall. 959 00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,480 Oh, really? So he did. 960 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:01,400 He went the double transfer. I did not know. 961 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:04,320 That within the conference. Because yeah, I was on, I was on 962 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:08,400 Facebook the other day and Saint John's Richmond Jersey popped up 963 00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:09,640 and I was like, oh, he'll get it. 964 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,560 But yeah, no, I mean, Pitino obviously great. 965 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,080 And again, only, only celebrity I've met in New York, so I'll 966 00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:19,440 keep singing his praises. There you go, there you go. 967 00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:21,840 What time you know, let's it's about time I want to get to the 968 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,760 WF and stuff that that Joe Beningo said last week. 969 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:27,760 We'll get to that. First up though, it is it's a 970 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:31,240 Monday, obviously time for little three Bernie questions. 971 00:46:31,240 --> 00:46:32,920 There it is. Jay Rod, of course, 14 by my 972 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,200 good friends at Sullivan Propane. 973 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,760 Sullivan Propane is one of New York's best personal injury law 974 00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,400 firms, according to U.S. news and World Report. 975 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:43,760 As general counsel to the New York City Firefighters Union for 976 00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,720 more than 4 decades in the proud law firm partner of St. 977 00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:51,080 John's Athletic, Sullivan Propane is New York's team 978 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,520 fighting for New Yorkers for more than 100 years. 979 00:46:53,720 --> 00:46:57,520 You could find sullivanpropaneonline@triallaw1.com. 980 00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,400 That's trial law. One dot com Remember the name 981 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,360 Sullivan Payne, of course, shout out to my good buddy TJ McManus. 982 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,360 The entire the entire firm over there at Sullivan. 983 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,720 All right, this is going to be an NCAA basketball theme here. 984 00:47:11,720 --> 00:47:15,760 Burning questions up first number one number one, we get 985 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,240 the snow blowing. Number one. 986 00:47:17,240 --> 00:47:18,760 You ready? All right, here we go. 987 00:47:18,960 --> 00:47:24,680 Which region is the toughest headed into the NCAA tournament? 988 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:26,680 This one. This is the easiest one that 989 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:30,400 we've had so far on the show. I mean, without question, it is 990 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,440 the East region. Listen to these names. 991 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:37,000 You got Duke, you got Kansas, you got Saint John's, you got 992 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:41,040 Michigan State, they got UCLA. Oh, yeah, by the way, you've got 993 00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:43,760 UConn as a two seed. And look at these coach. 994 00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,960 I mean, listen, yes, it it possibly complicates Saint 995 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,400 John's, Saint John's world, which is what matters. 996 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,360 Even independent of that. I swear, like forget about that 997 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,600 for a moment. I just think that the NCAA did a 998 00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,960 horrendous job of a really spreading out these Titans of 999 00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,120 coaches and programs and blue bloods. 1000 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:02,960 You should have spread it out a little bit more. 1001 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,720 Think about this guy Pitino. Hall of Famer Billy Self, Hall 1002 00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:11,120 of Famer Tom Izzo, Hall of Famer Danny Hurley, 2 national 1003 00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,760 championships, obviously going to be Hall of Famer Mick Ronan 1004 00:48:15,400 --> 00:48:21,920 has over 500 wins, 526 wins, D1. You got John Shire, Duke, who is 1005 00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,640 who's got 121 wins. That's the most in four years in 1006 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,320 the history of major, you know, of major Division One 1007 00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,520 basketball. So I mean, it is a gauntlet bro. 1008 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,520 It is going to be brutal. The fan bases are going to be 1009 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:38,200 rabid. It's going to be an absolute 1010 00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,200 scene. So that one to me is simple. 1011 00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:44,160 All right #2 what's a staple here of March Madness? 1012 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,000 Little Cinderella time. Cinderella cut it up one time. 1013 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:48,520 You don't know that song, that J Rod. 1014 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:52,480 All right, so which Cinderella team is poised to make the most 1015 00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,720 noise in March Madness? Well, I got a couple that I was 1016 00:48:55,720 --> 00:48:57,560 thinking about. You know, some of these teams 1017 00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,720 I've seen play, some I have not, to be fair. 1018 00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:02,600 But obviously doing some research, South Florida's 1019 00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:05,200 thought to be a bit of a tricky. The Bulls in 11 seed. 1020 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,440 Obviously VCU, they've got some veterans. 1021 00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,800 It's a pretty good program. They're an 11 seed as well. 1022 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,480 And I want to keep an eye on like Troy, they've had a good 1023 00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:14,840 year. And Santa Clara as well. 1024 00:49:14,840 --> 00:49:17,840 Where Steve, I'm going to actually go though, my choice 1025 00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:22,520 here is the University of Akron, the Zips who are 12. 1026 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:24,960 And let's face it, what's the what's the trickiest one of all 1027 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,880 the all the matchups in the first round, Usually that 512 1028 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,800 matchup, which is what St. John's is looking at anyway. 1029 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:35,360 They are only 7 point dogs against number against 5C Texas 1030 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,880 Tech, Texas Tech top and obviously is out that that hurts 1031 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,720 them. And the last five games, or 1032 00:49:41,720 --> 00:49:45,000 though they lost five games, I'm sorry, the Zips did. 1033 00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:48,240 And all five were the teams that are going to the tournament 1034 00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:50,240 here. So they had a tough schedule. 1035 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:54,040 They competed and they've got a top 15 national offense. 1036 00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,360 So, you know, you throw out the fact that they're pretty good 1037 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,520 and they could shoot it. They're a three-point shooting 1038 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,000 team. That's an equalizer. 1039 00:50:00,240 --> 00:50:03,840 Texas Tech, their best players out and they played some good 1040 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,200 teams along the way. That could be a little tricky. 1041 00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:12,360 All right #3J Rod, what do you have #3 who #3 Here we go. 1042 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:14,680 Who are the three greatest players in the history of 1043 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:17,840 college basketball? And we could do 9 hours on this. 1044 00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:19,400 Wow. All right. 1045 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,680 Now generally with stuff like when I did the Yankees and the 1046 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,400 Mets lineup, their their all time lineup, I did post 80 for a 1047 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,160 reason because I wanted to keep it the players that I've seen 1048 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,880 with my own eyes. So you know, like DiMaggio and 1049 00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:33,480 Mantle and Ruth and all the Yankee greats. 1050 00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:35,760 And obviously if I did the pitching staff, I wouldn't, even 1051 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,000 though I did see older Sieber, I didn't see vintage Seaver. 1052 00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,800 Anyway, I'm going to kind of break my own rule here because 1053 00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:45,160 it's so well chronicled and so documented the Titans of college 1054 00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,280 basketball that I'm going to do it. 1055 00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,120 And there's two that I've never seen play and there's one that I 1056 00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,240 obviously did. First of all, there's only one 1057 00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:54,080 answer for number one, that's Lou Alcindor. 1058 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,120 I mean, that's it. All right. 1059 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:59,200 So he's at UCLA from 66 to 69, Three time national champ, 1060 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,040 freshman couldn't even play. Freshman were not allowed to 1061 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,800 play varsity. He was a two time AP player of 1062 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,040 the year. And Oh yeah, bye. 1063 00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:08,680 Because it was a little bit too easy for him. 1064 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,480 They outlawed the dunk in college back. 1065 00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,720 I mean, didn't these dudes want to have any fun? 1066 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,920 Like imagine sitting around in a room and actually coming up with 1067 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,280 the rule or the thought, you know, guys, what might be good 1068 00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,320 for the growth of the game? Let's eliminate the dunk. 1069 00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:26,840 I mean, what dopes came up with that? 1070 00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,960 All right #2 I mean, I've seen the footage. 1071 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,360 We know the tails, we know the legacy. 1072 00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,320 It's got to be Pistol Pete Maravich. 1073 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:36,640 It's got to be. So. 1074 00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:42,040 Pistol Pete played for his pops at LSU 1967 through 1970. 1075 00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:44,520 Check this out now, Jay Rod, keep this up on the screen by 1076 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:45,920 Jay Rod. I want you to pay attention to 1077 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,720 this man. He averaged, thank you, 44. 1078 00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,760 That's a good student right there, boy. 44.2 points per game 1079 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:57,320 all right 40 he averaged 44.2 What? 1080 00:51:57,520 --> 00:51:59,640 He. Yeah, but here's the craziest 1081 00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:01,560 part. There was No 3 point shot. 1082 00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:06,400 Dude, so this guy was just putting up like 20-30 shots a 1083 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,440 game. And but he was efficient too. 1084 00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,480 There was somebody, I, I don't have it obviously in front of 1085 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,640 me. Somebody went back and I don't 1086 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,760 know if it was every game because I don't know what was 1087 00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,200 documentable from his early days at LSU, although I mean, it's 1088 00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,400 not the 1930s. They I think they had a most of 1089 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,960 it in the late 60s. Somebody went back and they 1090 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,920 actually measured like the jump shots that he hit. 1091 00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:29,480 Yeah, Yeah. And if they were to attach the 1092 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,440 extra point value there, then the number was like he would 1093 00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,360 have averaged like 51 1/2 points a game. 1094 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,120 Yes. So are you shooting? 1095 00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,360 So he was shooting. Long range. 1096 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,000 Oh yeah, no, he was a guard, bro. 1097 00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,320 He was a he. And, and the thing about Pistol 1098 00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:46,400 P is that he played like he was on the schoolyard #1 for a white 1099 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,880 kid to do that back, you know, at really ever that that's still 1100 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,880 kind of rare, although less rare, but certainly back then. 1101 00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,480 And for anybody, you know, Oscar Robertson had flair and at 1102 00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:56,920 Cincinnati and some others as well. 1103 00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:01,080 But to like, play that way in the late 60s was almost like 1104 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:02,840 counterculture, like, you know what I mean? 1105 00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:05,320 Like just wasn't, well, you know what I mean, of the old heads. 1106 00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:11,120 All right, Number one, I've seen this player play now I think 1107 00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:12,560 that this will get some pushback here. 1108 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,840 I'm going Christian Leitner. I'm going to go with Christian 1109 00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,800 Leitner, Duke from 88 to 92. And this is when the game was 1110 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:23,120 getting, I believe, tougher and tougher because now you got 1111 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:27,320 obviously UCLA was a power out West, but Arizona out there with 1112 00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,800 Ludo Olson and those great teams and and obviously the East and 1113 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:35,360 the Big East and the ACC was a monster back then. 1114 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:39,480 So you got a two time national champion, a winner and also now 1115 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,640 in hindsight, it's like, God, how the hell was this guy on the 1116 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,520 Dream Team? But he was on the 92 Dream Team 1117 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,800 for a reason. Now he didn't do anything. 1118 00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:48,120 You could get that off the screen. 1119 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:49,440 Thank you very much there, J Rod. 1120 00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,720 And again, that is brought to you by our good friends at 1121 00:53:52,720 --> 00:53:56,880 sullivanpropanetriallaw1.com. That's trial law1.com. 1122 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,320 Remember the name Sullivan Propane. 1123 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:04,240 It's, you know, he was on the team and you know, some people 1124 00:54:04,240 --> 00:54:06,200 have said, well, let's throw the token white guy on the team. 1125 00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,600 I don't think that that was it because you had Chris Mullen, 1126 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,400 you had John Stockton. So it wasn't that I I really 1127 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:16,440 think it was recognizing his place in the history of college 1128 00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,240 basketball and also thinking that he was going to be a great 1129 00:54:19,240 --> 00:54:21,120 pro. What was he taking third overall 1130 00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,440 by the T Wolves? And he was third and he wanted 1131 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,560 to become a pretty serviceable NBA player. 1132 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:32,160 But I remember and he had the the headband on and like the 1133 00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,760 floppy hair, you know, looked like the j.crew model. 1134 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,000 And I'm like, God, this guy and I, I never hated Duke. 1135 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,280 Like something like you, you either love Duke or or hate 1136 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,400 Duke. I I was fairly not apathetic, 1137 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,400 but I enjoy watching Duke play, certainly with Hurley and Grant 1138 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:50,200 Hill and those teams and Leighton and Coach K. 1139 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,480 What? But he was, I think he was 1140 00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:59,440 inarguably the most despised college player of all time, 1141 00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,080 maybe JJ Redick or Grayson Allen. 1142 00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,520 It's always like the white kid from Duke. 1143 00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,920 People hate because there's a thought that they're spoiled and 1144 00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:11,440 and whatever, you know? But actually, he came up in a 1145 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,320 very blue collar. He's from, I think he's like 1146 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,520 right from, I think it's Troy, NY, if I'm not mistaken, blue 1147 00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:21,280 collar not far from Syracuse, all the way up there cold. 1148 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,600 His mom was a teacher, you know, had a couple of brothers. 1149 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,880 He used to beat the shit out of each other like traditional 1150 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:30,040 laters, you know, was a dog. So those are my answers. 1151 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,880 You know, again, obviously you can, you can you can say that 1152 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,200 that's crazy. Nobody could say Lou Alcindor at 1153 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,680 one is crazy. I think if you really try to 1154 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,400 respect the the annals of the game and the history of the 1155 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,320 game, I think it maybe you maybe want to say Bill Walton. 1156 00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,880 All right, I thought about Bill, but to me, Pistol Pete, I had to 1157 00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:47,240 put him too. Yeah. 1158 00:55:47,240 --> 00:55:49,960 And then late #3 for the winning and for all the things that I 1159 00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:51,400 just said. I'm going to put him on the list 1160 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,160 there. Jay, if I said to you now, 1161 00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,760 obviously you're a young buck here, greatest, greatest college 1162 00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,200 basketball player that you ever saw. 1163 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,200 And before you answer that. That I ever. 1164 00:56:01,240 --> 00:56:04,280 That you that you ever saw. It's going to be a crazy take. 1165 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,800 OK, Zion. Oh wow. 1166 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,880 Yeah, I think so. It's, I mean, he was insane that 1167 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:13,480 season. He was pretty great. 1168 00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:16,320 I mean, the highlights were there, the stats were there. 1169 00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:22,320 I think it just really shows how, you know, I how short of a 1170 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,760 period of like real college hoops I've had to watch, like 1171 00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:28,040 when Zion's the best dude I've watched. 1172 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,360 But obviously he was a great college basketball player. 1173 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,560 So absolutely phenomenal. There's no doubt about that. 1174 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,160 You know the thing, too, I'll give you a name that's great and 1175 00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,000 he's not one of the top three. But now we're just kind of 1176 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,680 throwing names. How about Jim or Fredette at 1177 00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:40,080 BYU? He was great. 1178 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,240 He. Was banging 35 and and Reddick I 1179 00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:44,360 mean he's there you got to throw these names out there see the 1180 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:47,160 the challenge with this and it just is what it is it's a 1181 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,680 byproduct of modern college basketball like we have the 1182 00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,760 ability and you know Ewing somebody like Patrick Ewing for 1183 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,640 me somebody like Chris Mullen for me a couple of player Tim 1184 00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,880 Duncan in the ACC with with Wake Forest. 1185 00:56:59,880 --> 00:57:01,760 There's obviously a ton. I mean, I, I again, I could do 1186 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:05,240 this for hours here, but the challenge now is that like, 1187 00:57:05,240 --> 00:57:08,320 imagine if Zion would have stayed at Duke for four years, 1188 00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,240 or even 3. One, you know, he might, you 1189 00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:15,280 know, he may have a bit even bigger NBA contract looking at 1190 00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,000 it now, like if he, you know, if he got that time to develop and 1191 00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,560 maybe got his health a little bit more in check, who knows 1192 00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,360 what he could be looking like. But it could also be one of 1193 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,200 those circumstances where he made the right decision. 1194 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:30,680 He got that big first overall contract. 1195 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,320 He got the gag there. Yeah. 1196 00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,800 And, you know, he he's gonna keep making money. 1197 00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:38,160 He's not gonna be on a vet minimum for no I I I I. 1198 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,680 Yeah, like, but when you come out at that age, J, that's why a 1199 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,760 lot, you know, that's why the NBA wrath is really, it's really 1200 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:44,840 a turn off. I get it. 1201 00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,320 It's the it's the way of doing business now. 1202 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,360 But a lot of these kids, you're drafting somebody at the age of 1203 00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,680 19 or 20 and you know, you understand they're going to go 1204 00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,040 to a bad team to start and they're going to be surrounded 1205 00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:56,760 by a fairly inefficient team. Probably have a couple of 1206 00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,320 coaches by the time that player gets four or five. 1207 00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,760 But they get that second bag when they're like 2425. 1208 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,600 And that's where you have a chance to make $8 billion as 1209 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:08,440 these exorbitant contracts skyrocket. 1210 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:11,680 You got guys making 70 a year. It's going to only go up and up 1211 00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,720 and up. But think about like, and again, 1212 00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,240 I'm just throwing names at because it's fun. 1213 00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:17,720 Think about Albert Iverson, what he would have looked like if he 1214 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,520 was at Georgetown for four years, right? 1215 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,680 Come on. Or you know, even Ray Allen for 1216 00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:26,880 four years at UConn. It's, it's, it's, it's crazy to 1217 00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:28,720 think about that. And they do get penalized a 1218 00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:31,280 little bit in terms of that history because anytime you 1219 00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,600 pull, you pull up a name from the past, It's a little, it's a 1220 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:36,920 it's a comet that's shooting across the sky. 1221 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,960 And you're trying to, you know, you're, you're reacting to what 1222 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,240 you saw, but you're also trying to piece together in your mind 1223 00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:47,400 like what would they have been compared to Alcindor or Walton 1224 00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,040 or Layton or guys like that. So good stuff. 1225 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,080 I pop a couple. I'm going to get to the Beningo 1226 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,240 stuff in a minute. Pop a couple of texts up here. 1227 00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:56,520 Dear Rod, can you do that for? Me. 1228 00:58:56,520 --> 00:59:00,360 Let's see. Hey, BT yeah, N 50 the same time 1229 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:04,680 as John Rothstein. This NCAA MBB recall and 1230 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,480 knowledge is one-of-a-kind. I know John very well. 1231 00:59:07,480 --> 00:59:09,600 I absolutely love John. John Rothstein's great guy. 1232 00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,640 He's absolutely out of his mind. He is a nut job. 1233 00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,600 He is. He is crazy in terms of what he 1234 00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:18,160 knows. And yes, I was at 10:50 When 1235 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,400 when So John one, we did this thing. 1236 00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,680 This is what now not not about John here because John, he 1237 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,360 really is what he know. I don't think I don't know. 1238 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,520 I don't know anybody that knows more about college basketball 1239 00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:31,640 than him. I mean, nobody, yeah, even 1240 00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,520 somebody like Fanta who is phenomenal as very different and 1241 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,200 I love that. So John think at the Garden the 1242 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:36,880 other night. Great. 1243 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:38,400 I'm so happy for him. Great dude. 1244 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,760 I actually I'm going to get him on the show. 1245 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:42,160 We we connected, we got numbers there. 1246 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,200 So we'll get John up and John Panther up at some point. 1247 00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,240 And but he's different. He knows like all the but no 1248 00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:51,080 doubt he is very well versed, but like John Rothstein, it's 1249 00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:56,960 frightening where he will say I don't know something like, you 1250 00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:02,080 know, 1991 E regional Sweet 16 match up. 1251 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:04,440 So when I don't know, I just I don't even know name to throw 1252 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:08,000 out a minute and 9 seconds left. He hit a 22 footer like it's 1253 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,800 crazy. His recall's insane to the 1254 01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:12,160 point. So when we're at 10:50, you 1255 01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,000 know, because we didn't have a good signal, that's when 1256 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,480 obviously Kay was there, Donnie was there, I was there, Stephen 1257 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:20,640 A was there. That was right before Max got 1258 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,760 there. We had a really good lineup, 1259 01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:24,760 good roster, but nobody could hear us because the signal was 1260 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:28,480 awful and we were trying to do things which I get to try to 1261 01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,640 stand out a little bit. So if you remember on ESPNTV 1262 01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:35,640 there was this thing called ESPESPN Dream job and a couple 1263 01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,800 of sportscasters wound up winning and then they went up to 1264 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,560 they wound up going like the ESPN 2 or ESPN news. 1265 01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:42,920 What whatever it was, I don't even know. 1266 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,200 So so we did our radio version and Rothstein won, right? 1267 01:00:47,520 --> 01:00:50,680 And then he started doing like updates during some of the shows 1268 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,560 and he did a lot on my show. And I just love the guy because, 1269 01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,440 you know, talking college hoops and, you know, I talk about 1270 01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:59,520 family and it just, I know John really well. 1271 01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:02,480 And there was one point, though, because then we would get him on 1272 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,880 to breakdown like on a day like today, you know, like, if this 1273 01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:08,240 was the old days, he would have been on my show, right? 1274 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,200 And the guy runs through the bracket and I finally had to 1275 01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:15,440 tell him I'm like John. I, I, I don't even care about 1276 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:17,760 the 7th man on Northern Iowa. I don't care. 1277 01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:21,880 I nobody, nobody cares except you and the Northern Iowa fans. 1278 01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,960 You got to. You got to stop. 1279 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:25,600 Hitting us? We've got breaking news. 1280 01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:26,800 What do we? Got Is it good? 1281 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:33,120 What do we got? Nets, We've got Justin Fields 1282 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,480 traded to the Chiefs. Justin Fields traded to the 1283 01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:41,480 Chiefs. Just what the hell did they get 1284 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,520 for him? It's got to be a 7th rounder. 1285 01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,800 2027 sixth round pick there you. Go see ya. 1286 01:01:47,800 --> 01:01:49,400 All right. Good job, Mooji. 1287 01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:50,560 There we go. What? 1288 01:01:50,560 --> 01:01:51,680 The hell are they going to do with them? 1289 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:53,320 They're going to play quarterback. 1290 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,040 You know, there was a thought he was going to turn into running 1291 01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:59,080 back. All right, so listen, I didn't 1292 01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:00,880 know what was coming at me. First of all, it sounds like 1293 01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:02,440 we're getting bombed when we hear that. 1294 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,000 Let's go. Oh my God, we could take cover 1295 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:09,080 here, the sports radio shelter. All right, You know, I'm not 1296 01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,280 going to stick with it too much because it is a a late round 1297 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,040 pick. But this is where you have to 1298 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,200 feel good about Darren Mooji. You just have to, you have to. 1299 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,440 I don't know what Glenn's going to be, but Mooji's the man and 1300 01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:25,760 Mooji's the real deal because #1 he is aggressive #2 he isn't 1301 01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,760 doubled down on his mistakes. Like he comes in year 1, is in 1302 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,280 GM AG, one years at first years head coach. 1303 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,600 They knew they had to change the quarterback situation. 1304 01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:38,680 There was some some evidence in in Pittsburgh and even a little 1305 01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,960 bit at the end in Chicago. All right, Justin Fields getting 1306 01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,000 a little bit better than a little bit. 1307 01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,160 And this is documentable because I've done it. 1308 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,640 You know, a little uptick in stats, completion percentage up 1309 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,520 a little bit, touchdowns a little bit up, INTS down a 1310 01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:53,480 little bit. And I mean a little bit like 1311 01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,760 barely perceptible, barely visible evidence that he was 1312 01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:58,640 getting better. But they're sitting there 1313 01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,960 saying, all right, we have a pretty good old line. 1314 01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:02,800 There's no franchise quarterback to get. 1315 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:04,200 We got to get somebody who's young. 1316 01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,480 We're going to run them a lot, try to have a bowl control 1317 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,480 offense and we're going to rebuild it this way. 1318 01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:09,560 Now. They did it. 1319 01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:12,400 It didn't work out and they got rid of them and they didn't cut 1320 01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:13,480 them. They traded them. 1321 01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:17,680 So I mean, how were they able to make the last trade that they 1322 01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:18,640 made? Think about it. 1323 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,200 They swapped, right? They swapped with the Raiders 1324 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,680 and they they swapped picks, you know, 7th and 6th round. 1325 01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:28,000 So I do I like it. I I really do like it. 1326 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:29,520 I'm fine with it. I think it's good. 1327 01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,000 But I'm not going to go nuts here. 1328 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,960 I mean, we, we breaking news is like at some point we're going 1329 01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,360 to get breaking news during the Aaron Glenn's fired or we're 1330 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,000 going to get some real. Brains. 1331 01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,520 Yeah, no, I mean we need we need something great like that to go 1332 01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:44,000 down. That would be that would be very 1333 01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:44,400 fun. I don't. 1334 01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,200 Even know what the hell I was saying before that. 1335 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,280 Jeez. John Rothstein. 1336 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,360 John Rothstein, Knowledgeable guy. 1337 01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:52,360 Thank you. Good job, Jay. 1338 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,840 And I remember just telling him finally, I'm like, John, you're 1339 01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,120 hitting me. I I don't even know what the 1340 01:03:58,120 --> 01:03:59,920 hell you're talking about. Like I don't know any of these 1341 01:03:59,920 --> 01:04:04,040 players. I don't care if I don't care and 1342 01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:07,840 I'm starting to wander as you rifle through the 8th man who 1343 01:04:07,880 --> 01:04:11,120 averages 5.7 points a game for some mid major. 1344 01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,720 I love that you know that I love that you love that I don't care 1345 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,960 So, but John's the best. Like so you know, whatever. 1346 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,840 We just got to kind of do a little more surface. 1347 01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:22,280 But I used to have model all the time and I told him too. 1348 01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:23,680 I'm like, you got to get a hobby, man. 1349 01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:28,360 I have told, I've told John he's like my hobby and his sayings 1350 01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,880 are hysterical. We sleep in May. 1351 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,320 He is, he really is a unique dude. 1352 01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:34,920 Like I don't know how else to express it. 1353 01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:37,800 I'm a big fan of John. Number one, he's a friend, but 1354 01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:39,960 he and he's a great guy. But I tell him I'm like, dude, 1355 01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,360 you're going to be 300 lbs soon if you don't watch what you eat. 1356 01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:46,280 You know, I every, you know, Sundays he's got 4, you know, a 1357 01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,400 pound of Rigatoni. He's got, you know, chicken 1358 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,720 fries, he's got the meatballs. He's got this, he's got that all 1359 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:53,040 the different restaurants he hits. 1360 01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,320 He's an old school soul and he's a great guy. 1361 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:58,720 All right, you guys ready to get in some WFAN stuff? 1362 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,840 What do we got? What are we going to cook up 1363 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:03,480 here? J Rod, how we feeling about 1364 01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,600 this? We think. 1365 01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,520 Could get spicy, could get spicy. 1366 01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,160 Could get, could, could. So did you guys catch what Joe B 1367 01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,560 said the other day? I know that you did. 1368 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,520 That was a rhetorical question to my producer. 1369 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:20,440 It was on the Jake Aspen show. Jay does a lot of jets, a lot of 1370 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:25,160 jet stuff, right? So Joe was, I'm sure talking 1371 01:05:25,160 --> 01:05:27,560 about The Jets and obviously getting in some other stuff. 1372 01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:32,640 Joe B had this to say about the station and where the station is 1373 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:36,360 right now. Quote, the fan will never be 1374 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,400 what it once was. I know I work part time there a 1375 01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:40,960 couple of days, you know, blah, blah, blah. 1376 01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:44,200 But the days of Imus and the days of Mike and the Mad Dog and 1377 01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:48,200 the days of Steve Summers and myself overnight, all the that 1378 01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:53,080 Eddie Coleman, Dave Sims, those days, well, we'll never see 1379 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,600 anything like that again. He continues. 1380 01:05:55,920 --> 01:06:01,200 The heyday we've all seen the heyday of the fan and sports 1381 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:08,120 talk radio in general. OK, there's a couple of ways to 1382 01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,800 interpret that. Number one, I think if you see 1383 01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,600 the quote, I think that you could say Joe's hating on the 1384 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:14,720 station. I don't. 1385 01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:15,960 I don't take that away from I don't. 1386 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:19,400 That's not what I get. All right, I think the Jay that 1387 01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:25,440 Joe is, is leaning into a lot of truth there, a lot of truth 1388 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,320 there, right. I think that things have changed 1389 01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,720 a lot and they're going to continue to evolve, you know, 1390 01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:34,600 and and year by year, sadly, you know, and, and radio in addition 1391 01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:38,760 to other stuff, but radio has afforded me to have a pretty 1392 01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:40,640 good living. So I'm always going to support 1393 01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:41,760 radio. I'm going, I'm almost going to 1394 01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,600 have radios back. I just am, right. 1395 01:06:44,040 --> 01:06:47,880 But each year you get a little sliver of revenue relevance 1396 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:51,240 chiseled off. It's less relevant than it's 1397 01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:54,320 ever been in my lifetime. That is a fact. 1398 01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,320 OK. And people can protest that. 1399 01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,800 That's fine. Just look at the numbers from 1400 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,720 revenue and just open your eyes and see what's going on in the 1401 01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:05,960 world in terms of content. And that's the only answer. 1402 01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,960 Like that's the only, I guess you can have other opinions, but 1403 01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:11,000 that's the that's the reality of what's happening. 1404 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:15,480 You see what I find interesting about that? 1405 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:16,440 What, Joe? Said. 1406 01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:21,680 Is, And I want to be careful here because I know how this 1407 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:24,000 game works. Like it happened with Kay when 1408 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,800 he was on the show and he was talking about his show. 1409 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:27,200 Yeah. And the politics. 1410 01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,680 And it was sliced up. And I'm not taken out of 1411 01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,360 context. Mike said it, and whatever I 1412 01:07:31,360 --> 01:07:32,720 say, I'll stand by. I'm not saying that. 1413 01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:34,080 I want to just make sure I preface this. 1414 01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,440 I understand the world we're in. You say something gets clipped, 1415 01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,120 it gets cut. It's out there for everybody to 1416 01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:41,760 disseminate and you open yourself up to being either 1417 01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:43,840 criticized or, or or whatever, and that's fine. 1418 01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:44,760 I'm a big boy. That's fine. 1419 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,560 So I'll tell you what I really believe, right? 1420 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:48,560 That's what we do on the show. That's what I've always done. 1421 01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,760 Don said something about, you know, he should have been more 1422 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:53,800 aggressive and it bothered him with his name not being on the 1423 01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:55,360 show. Bing cut that up. 1424 01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,520 I didn't cut it up. National news in terms of this, 1425 01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:02,800 this medium. See the thing when I think that? 1426 01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:06,240 Some people think that, Joe. 'S saying that it's not as good 1427 01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,560 as it used to be. And I don't think that Joe was 1428 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:10,960 saying that. I don't think that that was 1429 01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:14,960 Joe's intent at all. I think what Joe was saying is 1430 01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,200 really what I'm saying. Like the things have changed so 1431 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:20,960 much that when when somebody like Joe Beningo or like Steve 1432 01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:25,479 was to say it or Mike or dog or even if Boomer was to say it, 1433 01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:26,880 which he wouldn't because he's still on the air. 1434 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:31,399 But like one of those, you know, old school, you know, Russ like 1435 01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:33,640 somebody who was there a long time, you'd have said said it. 1436 01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:39,120 Jodie Mac, Susan, it's not to me. 1437 01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,240 It's not a knock on the current talent. 1438 01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:43,680 I don't think that that's that's what Joe was going for at all. 1439 01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,640 But now this is what I I really do believe what I'm about to say 1440 01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:53,439 here. I think that back then, being a 1441 01:08:53,439 --> 01:09:01,920 star on WFAN was pretty easy. It was pretty easy because there 1442 01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:05,319 was nowhere else to go. That's just the reality of it. 1443 01:09:05,359 --> 01:09:07,640 That's the reality of the. History of the station. 1444 01:09:08,080 --> 01:09:12,920 So the station was born in 1987. There was no 1050 ESPN Radio at 1445 01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,479 that point. There was no 98.7 FM ESPN Radio 1446 01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:21,560 and there was no 880 ESPN Radio. Back then, if you were on the 1447 01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:25,920 air, you were almost by default. You were a rock star. 1448 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:31,680 You were a persona that is almost impossible to replicate. 1449 01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:33,840 Today. It's impossible, right? 1450 01:09:34,319 --> 01:09:37,520 So you think about the way we think about the way things were 1451 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,560 back then. Who are the stars? 1452 01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:44,800 The stars were the the one or two main writers like Lupica, 1453 01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:46,960 right? Even though I think he's awful 1454 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:49,479 to read, I cannot. I Lupica, stop. 1455 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:55,720 Lupica was a star, right? Raisman was a massive star in 1456 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,440 terms of being a voice, in terms of the industry. 1457 01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:02,040 Mushnick, who I guess is still battling Carton, That was crazy 1458 01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:03,400 on that story the other day. My God. 1459 01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,240 I mean, listen, Mushnick is the guy's never happy. 1460 01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:09,240 I just I don't get it. Wow, if it's that joyless, stop 1461 01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,440 writing about it. I, I don't, I don't understand. 1462 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,680 There are some good things you could write about, right? 1463 01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:18,280 My goodness, right, So those guys had juice because they had 1464 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:21,480 the laptop and what they wrote controlled the mindset of a lot 1465 01:10:21,480 --> 01:10:23,320 of people. I remember. 1466 01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:25,000 It's true. Like I remember when right when 1467 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,560 race now raceman. As I got older, raceman actually 1468 01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,200 started to treat me differently and and maybe maybe I just got 1469 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:30,960 better. I don't know. 1470 01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,480 Maybe I got more humble. Maybe I got I got more buttoned 1471 01:10:33,480 --> 01:10:34,200 up. I don't know. 1472 01:10:34,480 --> 01:10:38,040 But when I first burst on the scene, raceman used to just shit 1473 01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:42,000 all over me and I wanted to grab him by the throat and knock him 1474 01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,320 out. I can't tell you how much it 1475 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:47,880 used to bother me. I remember for one time might 1476 01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:51,560 have a few This could be an interesting segments 2 side 1477 01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:55,200 stories woven in here. I remember playing golf is when 1478 01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,640 I lived in Manhattan pre kids, pre marriage, all that stuff. 1479 01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:02,080 I remember I used to love coming back from golf and going to get 1480 01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,920 like there was a Dunkin' Donuts on the corner getting like a 1481 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:08,120 decaf and getting a bottle of water. 1482 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:09,480 And then right next to it was a newsstand. 1483 01:11:09,480 --> 01:11:11,680 Then they had the early version of the Daily News. 1484 01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,120 And you know, I wanted to see what Raisman was writing about 1485 01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:15,760 our business. Not just me, but our business. 1486 01:11:15,760 --> 01:11:19,280 And I remember like every time he wrote something I would 1487 01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,240 invite because I was young, I was a young broadcaster. 1488 01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:24,880 I was worried that not that I really cared what he thought. 1489 01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,400 I didn't mean him to say, oh, wow, you're really good. 1490 01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:28,960 I didn't need that validation from him. 1491 01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:32,040 What I was worried about was, jeez, if it keeps writing the 1492 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,120 stuff, are my bosses at ESPN going to say maybe Raisman's 1493 01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,240 right? Like they did carry some clout 1494 01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:39,760 back then when you look at like network decisions. 1495 01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,800 I'm not saying that Raisman's opinion ultimately shaped the 1496 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:47,440 final answer, but it was it was an if you know, you know it was 1497 01:11:47,440 --> 01:11:50,280 an important read, right. Anyway, remember one time he 1498 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,520 wrote something and like it was personal and it was, I thought 1499 01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:56,760 it was off base and I called up my agent and I flipped out and I 1500 01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,120 said, get that? Like I can't even say it like I 1501 01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,240 could, but I'm not. I just want to go nuts here. 1502 01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,040 Get him on the phone. I'm like, I've I've often had it 1503 01:12:04,040 --> 01:12:06,240 enough. Like I flipped out and then I 1504 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:08,880 just learned and then I actually saw him all the time over. 1505 01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:11,600 That's and why when I was doing the Wheelhouse and he was doing 1506 01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,840 Daily News live ironically with Joe B and and I developed a good 1507 01:12:15,840 --> 01:12:17,880 relationship with him. I'm like, he's not a bad guy, 1508 01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:19,640 right? And I think he understood me 1509 01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:21,360 more and I understood him and whatever. 1510 01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,720 I think the tone changed a bit. But back then it was all right. 1511 01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:26,760 What did the Knicks do? Hey, I got to put on channel. 1512 01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,280 I got to see the news. I got to watch the highlights. 1513 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,560 Hey, did Donnie go deep tonight? It's a late game or I got to 1514 01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:33,840 flip on the radio in the morning. 1515 01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:36,600 You were a rock star by default, dude. 1516 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,960 Now, now this is the part I really believe this. 1517 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,440 Now this is the part that might get me in trouble, and that's 1518 01:12:41,440 --> 01:12:46,080 fine. Some of the legends right on 1519 01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,560 WFAN. Do I really? 1520 01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:52,200 Think. Do I really think that if this 1521 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:56,880 was the early 90s and being sad we're on WFAN that we we 1522 01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:58,400 couldn't have that type of persona? 1523 01:12:58,480 --> 01:13:00,120 I absolutely believe that we could have. 1524 01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:03,280 There's not a doubt in my mind because we were loud, we were 1525 01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,400 unapologetic. We were a little controversial. 1526 01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:09,040 We had some connections, got to know the Yankee manager pretty 1527 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:11,240 well. Sal got some good inside stuff. 1528 01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:14,320 You know, with the Mets being around S&Y, I'm bringing you 1529 01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,080 Saint John's stuff. I told you Patina was going to 1530 01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:17,840 get hired, so we had a little juice. 1531 01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,520 And I'm not trying to equate myself to Mike and Chris at all 1532 01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:23,200 because that's ridiculous because I'm a little Pebble 1533 01:13:23,480 --> 01:13:26,800 compared to the massive boulder that is constructing Mount 1534 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,080 Rushmore. And they are both on it. 1535 01:13:29,440 --> 01:13:31,840 Obviously. I'm not saying that at all. 1536 01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:33,960 That's why, again, I know how the game works. 1537 01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:37,120 Oh, BT said that, you know, him and Sal would have dwarfed Mike 1538 01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:38,360 and Chris, and I didn't say that. 1539 01:13:38,440 --> 01:13:40,680 And, and, you know, you guys know I didn't, but you don't 1540 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:44,280 think for a second that I don't think in my own mind that if I 1541 01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:48,080 was born into a certain time, like a different time period, 1542 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:50,400 that I could have done that. I do. 1543 01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:52,200 I absolutely do. I believe that with all my 1544 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:53,800 heart. I really do. 1545 01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:56,240 I believe I could. I could have done it with Sal 1546 01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:58,400 and I believe I could have done it without Sal. 1547 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:02,000 I believe I myself could have done it right. 1548 01:14:02,480 --> 01:14:05,680 But you know, I was born when I was born and I didn't. 1549 01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:08,120 Get a chance to work at. FN until much later and that's 1550 01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:11,040 life and that's fine. And that's why since things went 1551 01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:12,800 down at the fan, you haven't served me. 1552 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,440 You haven't heard me say a bad word and you won't. 1553 01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,720 Because I'm thankful for the three years that because I 1554 01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,640 really wanted to be able to say that I work there, man, because 1555 01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,520 the what it meant to me. So when I hear Joe say something 1556 01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,080 like this, like it hits me at all different angles. 1557 01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:27,720 I don't think Joe was trying to diss anybody. 1558 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:32,320 I really don't now. And this is not a knock at all. 1559 01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,560 I'm sure some of you will take it as one, but I'm just saying 1560 01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:37,840 it's not. I love Joe, I love his wife. 1561 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:41,040 I played golf with Joe. Joe's a good guy, really good 1562 01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:47,160 guy. If Joe did the same show today 1563 01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:52,080 that he did all those years on WFAN and we were in the year 1564 01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:54,320 2026 and he was like just starting out, but he had that, 1565 01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,360 like that was his game. Do I think, do I think that Joe 1566 01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:59,240 would be a legend? I don't. 1567 01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:03,800 I don't, I don't think so. I think Joe would be a voice 1568 01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:06,480 that some people love and some people, you know, especially 1569 01:15:06,480 --> 01:15:09,000 killing The Jets and dumping all the Mets and the craziness. 1570 01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,560 And it's one of the reasons I love Joe because he gave you 1571 01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:13,360 that energy and he gave you that bite and he gave you that 1572 01:15:13,360 --> 01:15:15,360 wrongness and he knew it mattered to Joe. 1573 01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:20,520 But Joe doesn't like analytics. Joe doesn't study numbers. 1574 01:15:20,960 --> 01:15:24,600 Joe, you know, has gotten more and more political as he's 1575 01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:26,200 gotten older. Now maybe he was younger. 1576 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,400 Joe wouldn't talk about that stuff on the air. 1577 01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:31,160 It's a different game. It's different rules, like I've 1578 01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:32,880 got to follow different rules than Joe. 1579 01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:37,120 You know, Joe could just get on the fan and be Joe. 1580 01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:41,680 And it worked, you know, and it worked at an incredibly high 1581 01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:43,920 level. That's why Joe's a legend. 1582 01:15:44,440 --> 01:15:47,840 But do I think that somebody like Joe is more talented than 1583 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,800 me? I don't no doing good show. 1584 01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:56,160 No, I, I don't and like part of the reason why you've got to 1585 01:15:56,160 --> 01:15:59,160 have depth doing this is because there were people out there. 1586 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:00,520 I'm not saying Joe has no depth. I don't mean that. 1587 01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,040 But now I'm just kind of continuing the point. 1588 01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,760 There's a lot of people out there that are really good at 1589 01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,680 what they do and can create great content. 1590 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,040 So Joe is not wrong when he says that you can get that. 1591 01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:13,280 Get the quote back up there again. 1592 01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,440 Jay, please want to read the to make sure I don't miss 1593 01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:18,600 misrepresent my guy. Joe All right. 1594 01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:20,160 The fan. I'm going to take this line by 1595 01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,360 line. The fan will never be what it 1596 01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,040 once was. I agree with that. 1597 01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,520 I agree with that. Number 2. 1598 01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,080 I know I work all right there. The days of Imus, the days of 1599 01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:33,080 Mike and OK, the days of Steve and myself overnight, all that 1600 01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:36,120 Eddie C, Dave Sims, those days. We'll never see anything like 1601 01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:37,760 that again. End Quote. 1602 01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,600 Now, if Joe is saying, and I don't think he's saying this, 1603 01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,840 keep that up please, Jay. Joe's not saying we'll never 1604 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:48,080 have talent like Mike in Mad Dog or me or meaning Joe. 1605 01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:51,640 Not me, me, Joe Joe or Dave or Eddie C or schmooze. 1606 01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:55,320 If he is saying that, well then I totally disagree because 1607 01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:56,600 there's a lot of talent out there. 1608 01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:58,560 I don't think he's trying to say that at all. 1609 01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,400 I think he's what he's saying the what he is saying. 1610 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:06,680 The relevance of those voices and how far they carried and the 1611 01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:11,960 juice that they had, right. That's what's changed here. 1612 01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:15,560 The heyday. We've all seen the heyday of the 1613 01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:18,880 fan and sports talk radio in general. 1614 01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:24,920 And with that, I agree with Joe. You can get it off. 1615 01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:29,560 I do agree with Joe. I really do, you know, think 1616 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:31,240 about this guys. One of the great things about 1617 01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:34,880 radio was and I unfortunately, I wasn't really involved in it. 1618 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,360 I would have loved to have been involved in it was the radio 1619 01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:41,120 wars and I wasn't involved in it because when I was at 10:50 they 1620 01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:43,680 would they would kick our ass because they were WFAN. 1621 01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:45,280 You know, we had a horrible signal. 1622 01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,480 We would just start out. They had a 20 year head start 1623 01:17:47,480 --> 01:17:48,680 all that. And by the way, they had an 1624 01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:51,840 amazing product that a great leader and Mark Chernoff. 1625 01:17:52,120 --> 01:17:55,000 They had two Titans that Babe Ruth and I'd say Willie Mays for 1626 01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:56,560 dog give him his giants love there. 1627 01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:58,360 You know, two of the best of all time. 1628 01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:02,760 But to stick with the baseball analogy, you know, OK, who's the 1629 01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:04,440 best player of all time? Well, you could say Babe Ruth. 1630 01:18:04,440 --> 01:18:06,240 You could say will be mage. You could say Hank Aaron, right? 1631 01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,000 But if you believe it's Babe Ruth, and here's the I'm going 1632 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,600 to give you a, a sports radio correlation. 1633 01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:16,080 If you believe it's Babe Ruth, you're saying that Babe Ruth's 1634 01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:19,320 the greatest player of all time. And I could accept that based on 1635 01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:22,640 the numbers to an extent. But now I have to also say he 1636 01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:26,880 never played against minorities. African Americans weren't 1637 01:18:26,880 --> 01:18:29,160 allowed to play. Baseball, you know the the. 1638 01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:33,400 The Latino influence, I mean, it was pretty much all white guys 1639 01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:38,760 and they were great, but it's different, smaller pool. 1640 01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:43,160 So I think it's probably more that, you know what I mean? 1641 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:48,000 I I just don't think. I, I don't, I'm sorry, I don't 1642 01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:49,440 think. That any of. 1643 01:18:49,440 --> 01:18:55,560 Those voices back then, we're better than the voices now. 1644 01:18:56,000 --> 01:18:57,680 I think they received differently. 1645 01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:00,320 I think for some people they're respected differently. 1646 01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,080 I think the way we have to do shows, and I'll say we because I 1647 01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:05,920 was there recently, the way we have to do shows, it's 1648 01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:09,800 different. You know, when you've got all 1649 01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:15,400 these outlets, you got YouTube, you got 9000 shows, TV, you got 1650 01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:20,160 everything, you got apps, you better be fucking on point right 1651 01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:23,120 away. You can't joke around and jerk 1652 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:25,720 around. You got to start the show and 1653 01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,720 when you have to start the show right away, and I know a lot of 1654 01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:30,560 you have issues with this and and I didn't love it either. 1655 01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:32,800 I said this when you got to start the show right away, like 1656 01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,720 this combative nature. Some shows, you know, morning 1657 01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:37,560 shows a little different. It's a little more free flowing 1658 01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:38,880 and and like they let it breathe. 1659 01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,280 It's different, Joe, you know, but like me and sad would come 1660 01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:45,000 out swinging because that's basically what we were told to 1661 01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:46,320 do and I didn't even really love that. 1662 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:50,360 We're going to swing naturally because he's sounding on me. 1663 01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:56,400 We're going to swing, but imagine if just imagine if every 1664 01:19:56,400 --> 01:20:01,800 YouTube show that you watch not gone, gone, not there FS1. 1665 01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:03,840 I don't even know what debate shows are on FS1 now. 1666 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,480 I know Craig did something there, Skip did something. 1667 01:20:06,480 --> 01:20:07,760 I don't. I don't know what's on there 1668 01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,080 now, but whatever's on there now, right? 1669 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:13,200 Imagine not got, not there. Good morning football. 1670 01:20:13,200 --> 01:20:15,600 They do a good job. They do a good show like 1671 01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:16,840 Schrager left. He was good. 1672 01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,120 It's a talented show. Great chemistry. 1673 01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:24,120 Imagine if that was gone. OK, take 880 like Rothenberg and 1674 01:20:24,480 --> 01:20:26,520 and Rick, I think that's a good morning show. 1675 01:20:26,760 --> 01:20:28,280 I think they're both very talented. 1676 01:20:28,720 --> 01:20:29,960 I do I think they know this stuff. 1677 01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:32,520 I think they have fun. You know, Rick played the game. 1678 01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,640 You know, Rothenberg's a nut job in a good way. 1679 01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:39,320 Passionate that will have a lot of fun guy talk. 1680 01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:43,120 That's a talented show. Imagine if that wasn't here gone 1681 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:48,400 and it's just just imagine if it was. 1682 01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:54,200 I'll go to my lineup when I was there, Boomer and Geo, BT and 1683 01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:55,560 Sal. Evident. 1684 01:20:55,560 --> 01:20:57,720 Tiki, we'd be fucking rock stars. 1685 01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,880 We would be. That's the reality of it. 1686 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:02,800 That's not knocking Mic or Chris. 1687 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:04,520 It's not. And if you take it that way, 1688 01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,320 that's your problem. Because I always give respect. 1689 01:21:07,600 --> 01:21:12,480 I always, always make sure that I show respect to people and not 1690 01:21:12,480 --> 01:21:16,000 just people that came before me. That's how I'm built like I'm 1691 01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,640 not mad what happened. I moved on. 1692 01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:22,040 I'm flourishing, I'm Brazilian, let's go. 1693 01:21:22,360 --> 01:21:25,600 I don't need WFAN to do content and they don't need me, 1694 01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:28,200 evidently because they said get out so good. 1695 01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,160 This isn't all you know, BT still pissed. 1696 01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,040 You know, I haven't projected that at all. 1697 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:37,120 I really haven't. Anytime it's come up, not every 1698 01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:40,440 name comes up, but when a certain name comes up, I know 1699 01:21:40,440 --> 01:21:43,000 Morash's name came up the other day on the show. 1700 01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,880 I'm like, I love Sean. I'm genuinely happy for Sean. 1701 01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:49,520 He's a talented, funny, nutty buttball who doesn't take 1702 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:52,520 himself too seriously. You know, I worked with Tiki for 1703 01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:53,920 10 years. He's a good guy. 1704 01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:57,160 Got nothing bad to say about Tik Evans. 1705 01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:01,400 I say this with a smile. Weird good, good way, good way 1706 01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:04,560 weird. Great guy, knows his shit, love 1707 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,280 sports. Like if that's the only show in 1708 01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,600 town, they're all rock stars. And some of them are anyway. 1709 01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,640 So it was an interesting thing that Joe said. 1710 01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:20,480 And it's Joe's opinion and I'm not here to say it's wrong. 1711 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:25,320 I'm just giving you my opinion and I am offering conjecture, 1712 01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:30,840 conjecture and contextualization based on my skin in the game all 1713 01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:34,160 these years being at the other station and then being at FAN 1714 01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:38,720 and listening to the station literally from day one, you 1715 01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:43,640 know, so you know, if you're going to be the best player of 1716 01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,680 all time and. You're going to be a rock star. 1717 01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:48,120 And you're going to have the superhero persona. 1718 01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:51,040 Don't you think you had a kind of go against everybody to 1719 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:52,720 really have that tag? I do. 1720 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,960 But now you shouldn't be. You shouldn't be victimized when 1721 01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:57,800 you're born. In a lot of ways, those guys 1722 01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:00,960 were lucky. You don't think about it now. 1723 01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:03,000 He could also now. This one going to defend some. 1724 01:23:03,000 --> 01:23:07,520 Of those guys too, there were other shows early. 1725 01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:11,200 Stages of. WFAN that just didn't work out. 1726 01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:15,640 They got rid of them, you know, and the ones who became legends, 1727 01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:19,920 they did work and you trusted them and you listen to them and 1728 01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,720 you took on and they took on a larger than life persona. 1729 01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:26,520 I think the hardest thing now is to have a larger than life 1730 01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:30,400 persona if you really think about it besides Stephen A 1731 01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:39,400 McAfee. Obviously like Charles Barkley 1732 01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:40,360 and. Jack, but they're former 1733 01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:42,360 players. So I mean, so is McAfee too. 1734 01:23:43,160 --> 01:23:45,320 It's just different. It's different, you know, I 1735 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:48,920 think that I just think it's different. 1736 01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:50,400 I don't. Think it's better. 1737 01:23:50,400 --> 01:23:52,600 I don't think it's worse. I think in a lot of ways too, 1738 01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:56,200 here's the difference. Like, you know, I remember I was 1739 01:23:56,200 --> 01:23:59,000 really frustrated when. I was trying to break into. 1740 01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:03,000 The business because this is in the in the late 90s and I 1741 01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:04,280 remember I don't know if I told the story. 1742 01:24:04,280 --> 01:24:06,560 I'm not going to get too deep into no, it won't be a short 1743 01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:08,320 story long. It will be a short story short, 1744 01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:11,040 I promise, because I want to get some reactions. 1745 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:13,640 Obviously J Rod pour through those get some good stuff on on 1746 01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:19,760 with Joe And I remember I sent the a letter to every sports 1747 01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:21,920 radio station in the country. This is how you had to do it. 1748 01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:23,800 You know, when you were trying to trying to get in. 1749 01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:27,680 Now I didn't go to Syracuse. I didn't have any connections. 1750 01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:30,320 I didn't need them. I had a dream and I had a work 1751 01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:35,080 ethic and I also didn't have any practical experience because I 1752 01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:37,480 didn't do internships at Maris because I played baseball. 1753 01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:39,240 I couldn't even write for the school newspaper. 1754 01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,480 I didn't have time, right? So anyway, I'm not looking for 1755 01:24:42,480 --> 01:24:43,920 pity. My my path was hard. 1756 01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:47,000 And I remember sitting in my parents basement looking at a 1757 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:51,000 website called Rick Scott. Rick Scott was an old, it was 1758 01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:53,640 like a website that it was aggregated. 1759 01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:54,760 I, I don't even know what he was like. 1760 01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:58,960 What's the word I'm looking for? Like one of these sage voices 1761 01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:00,840 that basically brought everything together for the 1762 01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:03,800 sports radio world. And I was able to find a link to 1763 01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,320 every sports radio station and I sent the letter barely. 1764 01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,160 I didn't even have a resume, so I was just basically making 1765 01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:10,000 stuff up. I did a little demo in my 1766 01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,040 basement, Sounded awful. Sent it to him, sent it to every 1767 01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:17,200 station in the country, A-Z, Arkansas, Alabama, you name it 1768 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,200 sent. I got like two or three back, 1769 01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:21,560 both rejections. One was from ATV station in 1770 01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:23,840 Denver. I remember getting excited when 1771 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,280 it came, even though it was a rejection letter when it came to 1772 01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:30,120 my parents house and I WJ God it wasn't WG. 1773 01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:32,800 Yeah, well it would have been West of the of the Mississippi, 1774 01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:36,320 so it would have been K whatever it was there. 1775 01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,760 And like, I was so excited seeing the call letters on the 1776 01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:41,080 envelope, like it actually gave me fuel. 1777 01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,240 I'm like, wow, they actually wrote me back even though I got 1778 01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:45,360 nicely rejected. And and that's how you kind of 1779 01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:46,880 had to do it back then. And it's not a pity party. 1780 01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:48,400 I'm not even, I'm not even trying to get into my whole 1781 01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:50,160 story. The point is that's how you had 1782 01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:53,040 to do it back then. The way you do it now is, you 1783 01:25:53,040 --> 01:25:54,600 know, you don't even have to study in college. 1784 01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,560 That's fine. You look into a camera, this 1785 01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,720 little thing, or you open up your phone and you do something. 1786 01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:02,840 By the way, we're getting these up on the digital store as well 1787 01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:05,080 soon. And then you get it out there 1788 01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:06,760 and people either react to it or they don't. 1789 01:26:06,800 --> 01:26:08,280 And if you get traction, you make money. 1790 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:12,480 If you don't, you don't. So it's easier to permeate the 1791 01:26:12,480 --> 01:26:13,880 business. Now it's simple. 1792 01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:16,800 I mean, anybody could say that they have a podcast, anybody in 1793 01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:21,920 the world, but but it's harder to be relevant. 1794 01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:25,920 It's harder to stand out. And back then, conversely, it 1795 01:26:25,920 --> 01:26:27,880 was the exact opposite when I was coming up. 1796 01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:32,880 It was so much harder to breakthrough, so much harder to 1797 01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:36,080 breakthrough. Like the like, that's why the 1798 01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:39,880 greatest Panther so unique, he never had to leave, you know, 1799 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,000 never had to leave the metro, the metropolitan area, 1800 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,240 tri-state, tri-state area, God bless them. 1801 01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:47,280 Lucky now I'm happy that I did because I think it gave me I'm 1802 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,480 not saying Don doesn't have that at all, but it gave me like a 1803 01:26:49,480 --> 01:26:52,840 balance for me like a a well roundedness that I that I, that 1804 01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:56,400 I think is, is really good for this and has served me well. 1805 01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:58,800 You know, working in Pennsylvania and going to 1806 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,200 Detroit and going to San Francisco and all these things I 1807 01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,080 did whatever. So while it was hard, arduous, I 1808 01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:07,560 was pissed, poor, frustrating at times getting, you know, not, 1809 01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:09,880 not not like climbing the way I thought that I should. 1810 01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:12,360 I think it actually made me better at the end of the day. 1811 01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:17,320 But now you can, you can get your stuff in front of you can 1812 01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:20,040 you can record something, send it to McAfee or one of his 1813 01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:23,040 producers He can play it on Wow, this, this is pretty good shit. 1814 01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:27,160 Put it on the McAfee show. 30 seconds you can you go from 312, 1815 01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,960 you know, followers on X2, suddenly you got 77,000. 1816 01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,680 If it's good enough, like that doesn't exist. 1817 01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:37,960 But with me and and my generation, it was harder to get 1818 01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,400 in. But once you got in, if you were 1819 01:27:40,400 --> 01:27:43,520 at least somewhat competent, you did become a rock star. 1820 01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:47,720 Whether it was, you know, Scott Clark doing TV. 1821 01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:49,680 I love Scott. I got funny story with Clark. 1822 01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:54,200 I might say that is second with Scott Clark, J Rod, I'm I would 1823 01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:55,880 say that in a second. It's funny, you know, guys like 1824 01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:58,680 Scott where you watch the 11:00 news like this guy's a rock star 1825 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:00,520 making over $1,000,000. They're all getting paid. 1826 01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:05,440 Len Berman, Warner Wolf rock stars, Mike and Chris Rock star, 1827 01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:10,000 I miss in the morning rock star. There's guys who are really, 1828 01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:11,280 really good and have created great. 1829 01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,280 Legacies on the. Radio now, but it is a little 1830 01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:17,760 different. So that's my interpretation of 1831 01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:20,120 what Joe said very quickly on the Scott Clark thing. 1832 01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:21,560 So now read this. Keep them up. 1833 01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,000 So I was again, trying to break into the industry. 1834 01:28:25,000 --> 01:28:29,840 Scott's at Channel 7 and my dad's friend knew some this like 1835 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:32,840 the only tiny teeny rat. I didn't even get a job at ABC 1836 01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:34,400 because I didn't do TV too much later. 1837 01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:36,840 But anyway, somebody knew Scott that knew my dad. 1838 01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,720 And he's like, hey, listen, this kid, I don't know if he's any 1839 01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:40,920 good. I just graduated college 1840 01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:42,280 basically. I don't know if he's any good. 1841 01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,880 His dad's a good guy, you know, can he wants to break into the 1842 01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:46,600 business? Can you, can he come down? 1843 01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:49,840 Can he do anything for him? Scott's like, yeah, bring have 1844 01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:51,440 him come down. He could watch the newscast, 1845 01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:53,120 right? I'm like, this is unbelievable. 1846 01:28:53,480 --> 01:28:56,000 So I go in, I'm all suited up and I'm sitting in Scott. 1847 01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,880 I don't even know if Scott would remember this, but I do and I'm 1848 01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:00,400 in his office. And back then they would have 1849 01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:02,480 like the producer, like literally watching like the Nick 1850 01:29:02,480 --> 01:29:04,720 game or the Rangers and they would be charting like, all 1851 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:07,440 right, you know, 5 minutes and 12 seconds into the first 1852 01:29:07,440 --> 01:29:09,160 quarter. I don't remember Patti 1853 01:29:09,160 --> 01:29:11,240 Lafontaine, if you're watching the, I don't know, whatever. 1854 01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:15,720 So and so scores a goal, right? Lead scores and that's what they 1855 01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:17,760 will look for highlights that they would use at night. 1856 01:29:17,960 --> 01:29:21,520 So I was there pretty early. So they go on the air and it was 1857 01:29:21,600 --> 01:29:24,560 Bill Beutel, Bill Beutel doing the news. 1858 01:29:25,440 --> 01:29:28,440 It it wasn't list show. I, I wish, I wish it was list. 1859 01:29:28,480 --> 01:29:31,200 It wasn't list. It was Bill Beutel, Scott Clark, 1860 01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:34,400 Diana Williams and somebody else. 1861 01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:36,600 Oh, Sam Champion doing the weather. 1862 01:29:37,720 --> 01:29:39,680 And they're like, oh, hey, Scott's like, hey, just sit. 1863 01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,320 And it was a big studio. Sit on the side over there. 1864 01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:43,920 Just, you know, be quiet. You can watch how we do. 1865 01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:45,800 I'm like, absolutely, Mr. Clark, you got it. 1866 01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:50,080 So I'm on this raised platform probably 2 feet off the air. 1867 01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:51,520 And then you start hearing the music. 1868 01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:54,760 The show's there. The news is starting. 1869 01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:57,760 And like, the directors are quiet on the floor quiet. 1870 01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:00,920 And I go to like move a little bit. 1871 01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:04,280 To this is a true story. I I wanted to disappear. 1872 01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:09,280 I wish I was dead at this moment as I adjust I'm on a couch as. 1873 01:30:09,280 --> 01:30:12,360 I adjust the couch of the chair. It was a couch and there's four 1874 01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:15,800 legs, right? One of the legs falls off of the 1875 01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:16,920 platform. J Rod. 1876 01:30:17,480 --> 01:30:20,880 And as they're getting ready, literally going like this, 1877 01:30:21,080 --> 01:30:23,320 you're on to. Them I'm not on TV obvious. 1878 01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:26,160 I'm a nobody, right? And it goes like this goes I'm. 1879 01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:30,200 Like what dude? I Fuck it, I. 1880 01:30:30,400 --> 01:30:34,440 My right. Hand hits the floor and I and I 1881 01:30:34,440 --> 01:30:36,560 caught it and it made a little noise. 1882 01:30:36,880 --> 01:30:41,080 OK, the couch now is not what's not quite like it's It's uneven 1883 01:30:41,400 --> 01:30:46,560 and I held myself up for a minute and 1/2. 1884 01:30:46,840 --> 01:30:47,880 Before they went. To either. 1885 01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:50,400 Weather or something? Happened and they came in. 1886 01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,440 They helped me. If I didn't, it would have 1887 01:30:52,440 --> 01:30:53,800 collapsed. Dude, it was. 1888 01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:54,960 It was. That's impressive. 1889 01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:57,440 Well, it was terrifying. Thank God I was. 1890 01:30:57,480 --> 01:30:58,840 Young I could still. Do that. 1891 01:30:59,520 --> 01:31:02,320 Oh my God, Yeah, that's. Let's shout out to Scott Clark. 1892 01:31:02,320 --> 01:31:05,560 The point is, guys like that, they just, they, they were 1893 01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:07,200 received differently and they were truly. 1894 01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:10,360 Treated. Like, you know, royalty because 1895 01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:13,400 there just weren't many of them and it's not a knock. 1896 01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:15,120 It's just the reality of the difference in the business. 1897 01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:17,800 BT what happened to Scotty Frill from the wheelhouse? 1898 01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:21,320 Ricardo Dash. We got a lot of letters BN 5 kW. 1899 01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:23,760 Thank you, Ricky. I love Scotty man Scotty 1900 01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:26,440 actually. Oh God, like how many years did 1901 01:31:26,440 --> 01:31:30,480 I do the wheelhouse? I think it was like O 67891011 1902 01:31:30,480 --> 01:31:35,360 When did I go to San Francisco? I think I 2011, maybe the 1903 01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:37,400 wheelhouse was like 05:00. So I did that a good six or 1904 01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:40,600 seven years and Scott and I were the first show, the original 1905 01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:42,720 show. And then we had some other Van 1906 01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,920 Custer was the moderator because good dude and me and Scotty 1907 01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:47,880 would just go bonkers every day and then they didn't. 1908 01:31:47,880 --> 01:31:50,960 Scott I think was there for two years and they didn't re up him 1909 01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:55,360 and then it was like Andy Gresh who who I know and I like and 1910 01:31:55,360 --> 01:31:57,080 Moose. It was like being Moose out of 1911 01:31:57,080 --> 01:31:58,800 battle one day over the toughest day. 1912 01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:00,600 Moose is a great guy. I'm happy to see him doing well. 1913 01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:04,160 And Moose was on there and then they bring I think Sal came on 1914 01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:08,440 once or twice he did because the story about how like an idiot, I 1915 01:32:08,440 --> 01:32:10,280 guess they said this out. We could do this the easy way or 1916 01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:11,760 the hard way. I don't really remember him. 1917 01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:14,360 I don't Remember Me saying that he said that I did and it 1918 01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:17,440 doesn't surprise me either way. I love The Wheelhouse and I love 1919 01:32:17,440 --> 01:32:19,320 Best and why. Scotty was there for about two 1920 01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,760 years and then they moved on and he's still doing great. 1921 01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:26,200 A really unique voice. He was on late nights at The Fan 1922 01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:30,320 and matter of fact, before The Wheelhouse, Scott was doing a 1923 01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:33,160 national show. Pharrell on the bench and when I 1924 01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:37,680 was living in Vegas is when at it's no, it's been gone for a 1925 01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:39,480 long time. The sports fan radio network. 1926 01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:40,840 All right, a lot of talented people there. 1927 01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:44,240 The Jim Rome was there young Jim Rome fabulous sports babe 1928 01:32:44,480 --> 01:32:48,720 Pharrell again, I'm just a weekend the host peon nobody and 1929 01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:51,560 doing updates during the week nationally and when I would fill 1930 01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:53,440 in for Scotty once in a while and I would get a chance to do 1931 01:32:53,440 --> 01:32:55,480 his night show and it was awesome man. 1932 01:32:55,480 --> 01:32:57,160 Like I got people calling from Seattle. 1933 01:32:57,160 --> 01:32:58,760 I mean it was it was a national show. 1934 01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:01,920 It was a big step for me. So I haven't talked to Scotty in 1935 01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:04,120 a while, but we had a great relationship. 1936 01:33:04,120 --> 01:33:08,200 Never had one beef at all. Really good guy, really unique 1937 01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:09,960 talent. Really good dude. 1938 01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:15,880 What do we got here, Robert? Robert Huertis dash S5CI. 1939 01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:19,040 Remember Summers, say Summers? Summers saying no UCLA 1940 01:33:19,040 --> 01:33:21,400 quarterbacks going to win a Super Bowl when the Cowboys 1941 01:33:21,400 --> 01:33:24,200 drafted Aikman in the draft. That's how long he's been 1942 01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:26,560 rolling with the fan. Well, yeah, I mean, we all say 1943 01:33:26,560 --> 01:33:28,520 crazy stuff there. I don't remember Steve saying 1944 01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:33,000 that, but if he did, all right, I mean, if you ever did a 1945 01:33:33,000 --> 01:33:36,560 history of the bad takes at that station, including me, I mean, 1946 01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:39,720 some of the things I said, I might actually win some of the 1947 01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:44,160 some of the baddest takes ever. But that's what happens, you 1948 01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:45,640 know? When you're talking every single 1949 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:47,280 day. Lindor should only bad 1950 01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:49,080 right-handed. You know, Zach's going to be a 1951 01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:52,720 star playoffs with Zach. Timmy Boyle can spin it, you 1952 01:33:52,720 --> 01:33:54,840 know, I mean, you know, there's, there's been some, there's been 1953 01:33:54,840 --> 01:33:57,200 some really good ones too, but there's been some bad ones 1954 01:33:57,200 --> 01:33:59,800 there. Charlie F 6675. 1955 01:33:59,800 --> 01:34:01,920 Charlie, what's going on, man? Great show. 1956 01:34:01,920 --> 01:34:05,000 BT an additional point of view point, I think radio and TV is 1957 01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:07,640 compelled to use former pro athletes along with TV and 1958 01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:08,560 radio. Yeah. 1959 01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:10,520 Watering down things further a little bit. 1960 01:34:10,520 --> 01:34:12,120 That's true. So like, that's why. 1961 01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:13,880 Listen, that's one of the reasons why Boomer's very 1962 01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:15,200 unique. Boomer's one of the first guys 1963 01:34:15,200 --> 01:34:17,440 to do it. I saw the other day that Boomer 1964 01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:20,960 passed. I miss longest tenured morning 1965 01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:24,200 show on the Fan and maybe ever, but definitely on the Fan. 1966 01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:26,160 Yeah. Like back then, it was like when 1967 01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:28,360 when Boomer was doing that. And I remember hearing him on 1968 01:34:28,360 --> 01:34:32,080 with Chris doing the pics back in the day, radio and Boomer 1969 01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:34,880 made the easy transition. You know, Tiki later did it as 1970 01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:36,880 well. You know, Bart Scott does it. 1971 01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:40,120 You know, I mean, every show that you look at, it's basically 1972 01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:42,040 athletes. So they already have that name 1973 01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:43,880 and they already have that recognition, that value. 1974 01:34:44,200 --> 01:34:47,320 So that that's another reason, I'm not saying it makes the 1975 01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:49,920 product better or worse, but it definitely takes away 1976 01:34:49,920 --> 01:34:54,520 opportunities for, you know, not athletes to become stars. 1977 01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:55,200 I mean you. Think. 1978 01:34:55,200 --> 01:34:57,920 About that, it's a good point and an absolutely good point 1979 01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:00,280 there. You know, it was I, I wonder if 1980 01:35:00,280 --> 01:35:02,240 Joe did. I don't know if Joe circle back. 1981 01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:04,240 I don't, but Joe doesn't care. I don't think that Joe cares 1982 01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:07,320 enough to to circle back. Not that he needs to clarify 1983 01:35:07,320 --> 01:35:10,280 anything. I wonder now I'm not listening 1984 01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:11,040 to it. I haven't heard it. 1985 01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:13,520 I'm sure they got to be talking about this on WFAN. 1986 01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:15,360 They have to be. I'm curious what some of their 1987 01:35:15,360 --> 01:35:17,960 takes would be. You heard my take, all right. 1988 01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:21,400 My take is I think that Joe's right. 1989 01:35:21,720 --> 01:35:24,560 WWFN is never going to be the. Same, but I also think that 1990 01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:29,440 that's a product of less about WFAN not knowing how to do 1991 01:35:29,440 --> 01:35:31,400 things. Although of course I would have 1992 01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:33,440 kept beating Sal on the air. I've said that a million times. 1993 01:35:33,440 --> 01:35:35,520 I think they messed up, but whatever. 1994 01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:41,560 I think it's more really just the the ever evolving world. 1995 01:35:42,120 --> 01:35:44,760 I mean, think about this. There was a point, man. 1996 01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:49,920 I remember when I was in college, during one summer, I 1997 01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:53,760 did construction. It was like up on 179th St. 1998 01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:55,600 I would drive in every day from Brooklyn. 1999 01:35:55,600 --> 01:35:59,480 I would work my ass off, dude. And I was in demo and it was 2000 01:35:59,480 --> 01:36:00,840 awesome. I was just J Rod. 2001 01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:04,120 I was just smashing walls down. I had the, oh, it was fun. 2002 01:36:04,120 --> 01:36:08,000 I was practicing my baseball swing, but working, you know, 2003 01:36:08,200 --> 01:36:10,240 doing stuff on the roof with the shirt off. 2004 01:36:10,280 --> 01:36:13,200 Rocking the. Tan, I mean, the big fat gold 2005 01:36:13,200 --> 01:36:14,440 chain. Those were the days, I love to 2006 01:36:14,600 --> 01:36:19,040 say, feeling good. And and I remember I get maybe 2007 01:36:19,040 --> 01:36:22,120 1/2 hour, maybe even an hour. But I would go to my car during 2008 01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:25,360 lunch and I would listen to the sweater and the schmooze. 2009 01:36:25,920 --> 01:36:28,520 And you know, Russ, Russ has become a good buddy of mine. 2010 01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:30,600 I haven't seen him in a couple of months, but I see Russ. 2011 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:32,960 I have number one. I've coached with Russ. 2012 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:35,720 I've coached his grandkids in every sport. 2013 01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:39,000 Yeah, isn't that nuts? And he said he's there all the 2014 01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:41,360 time. They played soccer together. 2015 01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:44,920 I've Co this is just rec though. I've coached his his grandson in 2016 01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:48,560 rec rec baseball. So I see him all the time. 2017 01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,160 And I used to go into the car and, you know, have my my 2018 01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:52,960 thermos, my water, my big sandwich. 2019 01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:54,760 And I would listen to listen to those guys. 2020 01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:57,600 Like I couldn't wait to hear the 2020 update. 2021 01:36:57,600 --> 01:37:00,280 You know, whether it was AC, whether it was Huesler, whether 2022 01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:02,040 it was Mank, Of course, My God, Mank shout. 2023 01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:04,240 I see. I'll see Mink tomorrow as we fly 2024 01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:05,880 out to California for the Johnnies. 2025 01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,280 Let's go. I'm pumped up to that man. 2026 01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:11,560 And the twenty 20s were such a staple. 2027 01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:13,880 You know that that's some evidence there. 2028 01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:17,320 I mean obvious evidence, but how much it's changed like the 2029 01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:23,520 people now WFAN is really is really solely just and all 2030 01:37:23,520 --> 01:37:25,880 stations just a form of entertainment. 2031 01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:29,000 You connect like you connected to certain people and you want 2032 01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:31,600 to be entertained and you want to you want to hear your guys 2033 01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:32,840 and gals talk about sports, right? 2034 01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:35,760 But back then, and This is why I say that the relevance has been 2035 01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:38,560 stripped away a little bit because back then, you know, 2036 01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:40,840 and, and in addition to the revenue, which is irrefutable, 2037 01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:46,080 but it's also, it was also really, it was like a, a source 2038 01:37:46,080 --> 01:37:46,840 where. You had. 2039 01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:49,640 To go to find out what was happening. 2040 01:37:49,760 --> 01:37:50,480 Yeah. Yeah. 2041 01:37:50,840 --> 01:37:52,920 Pat Riley's doing a press conference today. 2042 01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:55,400 George Steinbrenner is talking about the Yankees. 2043 01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:58,080 I got to listen because there's no phone to bust out and get it 2044 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:01,360 in real time. So you have to listen, you know, 2045 01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:05,520 and you know, again, that's why I it's not, it's not arrogance 2046 01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:08,400 or or cockiness or a lack of respect. 2047 01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:10,960 You know, I really believe that there's a lot of us. 2048 01:38:10,960 --> 01:38:15,520 If we were in that spot back then, we would have identities 2049 01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:19,240 and we would have, you know, resumes and bank accounts and 2050 01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:21,720 legacies. Really like a lot of those guys. 2051 01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:23,320 I don't believe that I really do. 2052 01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:25,760 Some people going to take issue with that and and I don't say 2053 01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:27,640 disrespectfully. So as long as you've heard the 2054 01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:30,840 the start of this show, I am completely fond with what I've 2055 01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:31,880 said. Yeah. 2056 01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:35,080 No, I mean, I think it's totally fair and like, I think like. 2057 01:38:35,080 --> 01:38:39,360 You say like the great point of all this is just an idea of 2058 01:38:39,360 --> 01:38:42,840 oversaturation. I think an oversaturation in 2059 01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:47,240 every market of sports media, of media in general, of people 2060 01:38:47,240 --> 01:38:49,160 showing themselves off on the Internet. 2061 01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:53,440 I just think the mass amount of information we're. 2062 01:38:53,440 --> 01:38:56,840 Being fed has. Diminished the idea of a legacy 2063 01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:59,560 just because there's too much to keep track of. 2064 01:38:59,960 --> 01:39:05,560 Along with this, I think it's much more of a personal angle. 2065 01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:10,600 When you do a show like this, or a show where you do just shorts 2066 01:39:10,600 --> 01:39:14,760 off the iPhone, taking the video of your face, I think that gives 2067 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:17,800 you much more of a chance to build yourself as a true 2068 01:39:17,800 --> 01:39:20,600 personality than the radio stations do. 2069 01:39:20,600 --> 01:39:23,080 I think that's the big differences nowadays. 2070 01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:25,520 You just take a selfie video on your phone. 2071 01:39:25,760 --> 01:39:28,680 You know, you're doing so much more for your own personal 2072 01:39:28,680 --> 01:39:30,560 brand, for sure. It's interesting. 2073 01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:32,760 Yeah. Well, I mean, think yeah. 2074 01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:37,400 No, I mean, think about the the only thing that I really miss is 2075 01:39:37,400 --> 01:39:39,320 the callers. That's the only thing that I 2076 01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:41,080 missed there. Certainly don't miss the 2077 01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:42,960 commute. You know, don't don't miss. 2078 01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:44,880 I mean, the corporate check was nice too. 2079 01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:47,320 It's a pretty good one. But we're Justin. 2080 01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:51,600 You know, I miss, I miss parts of the show with Sal and you 2081 01:39:51,600 --> 01:39:55,240 know, the energy there. You know, I, I, but the callers 2082 01:39:55,240 --> 01:39:57,280 are to me that the one thing that I can't replicate, that I 2083 01:39:57,280 --> 01:39:59,960 haven't replicated yet. Like that's the one thing 2084 01:39:59,960 --> 01:40:02,440 there's, there's, there's an urgency, there's a different 2085 01:40:02,840 --> 01:40:05,080 connection. There's, there's a deeper dive 2086 01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:06,560 there. And that's why we're really 2087 01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:08,520 trying to and I told you guys when we first launched this, 2088 01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:11,680 that Kohl's would be probably the last thing to come. 2089 01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:14,320 The first thing was I got to clean up the camera and I've got 2090 01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:17,400 to kind of fix things with the.

I thought that was that was part 2130 01:41:58,600 --> 01:41:59,600 of the deal. I thought you were doing some 2131 01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:00,760 homework on that over the weekend. 2132 01:42:00,760 --> 01:42:02,840 J Rod.

Went to bed on Friday, I went to 2137 01:42:15,480 --> 01:42:18,760 bed Friday, Saturday when I saw my buddy from college. 2138 01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:20,000 He I haven't seen him in a while. 2139 01:42:20,000 --> 01:42:23,840 He just moved to Philly, so he came through. 2140 01:42:24,040 --> 01:42:27,720 We chilled a little bit, but I just I was working. 2141 01:42:27,760 --> 01:42:29,160 I was working through the weekend. 2142 01:42:29,480 --> 01:42:31,600 All right, all right, Yeah, I'm going to give you a little work 2143 01:42:31,600 --> 01:42:32,240 here. What is? 2144 01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:33,920 What does that? Handle say fook. 2145 01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:37,880 We'll say fook, fook your couch. Fook your couch. 2146 01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:40,080 It's like. Saying judge could definitely. 2147 01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:41,320 Play in the 40s? No problem. 2148 01:42:41,320 --> 01:42:43,560 But take a player for. The 1940s, could he still play 2149 01:42:43,560 --> 01:42:45,600 now? Yeah. 2150 01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:47,960 I mean, and we'll never really know the answer. 2151 01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:52,040 Like, do I think, do, do I think there's a lot of examples here? 2152 01:42:52,040 --> 01:42:56,000 Do I think that if Jack Nicholas was coming up today just to take 2153 01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:58,200 golf, right? Or, or Bobby Jones today or 2154 01:42:58,200 --> 01:43:01,640 Sammy Sneed today and they've got access to, you know, instead 2155 01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:05,320 of using that two piece ball that went 250 yards, that's on a 2156 01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:08,240 good day, you know, you're using these souped up balls and you, 2157 01:43:08,320 --> 01:43:11,160 you, you, you know, you're basically rendering these 8000 2158 01:43:11,160 --> 01:43:13,480 yard courses. You're making them munis where 2159 01:43:13,480 --> 01:43:15,520 you're going over trees and cutting corners. 2160 01:43:15,520 --> 01:43:18,440 And I mean these guys hitting seven irons more 7 irons, one 2161 01:43:18,440 --> 01:43:19,960 9200. It's insane. 2162 01:43:20,520 --> 01:43:23,440 Do I think that if more than that, I think if Jack, do I 2163 01:43:23,440 --> 01:43:26,200 think that if Jack had the access to the equipment and the 2164 01:43:26,200 --> 01:43:29,960 training and, you know, to keep his body in shape instead of 2165 01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:32,040 banging back heaters and beers and whatever else he was 2166 01:43:32,040 --> 01:43:35,240 drinking And Arnie, yeah, I think they'd hit the ball as far 2167 01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:37,640 as Tiger and some of them, obviously Tiger back in the day, 2168 01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:40,440 you know, maybe not quite as far as Bryson because he's a little 2169 01:43:40,440 --> 01:43:42,280 different when he connects and a few others like that. 2170 01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:44,960 But they don't be striping at 3:20 off the team because that's 2171 01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:47,640 what everybody does. I mean, so, you know, it's not 2172 01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:50,360 as easy to say that the you can't. 2173 01:43:50,400 --> 01:43:51,840 I don't know that it applies all the time. 2174 01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:55,560 Like today's superstars would have dominated back then, and 2175 01:43:55,640 --> 01:43:59,160 the stars back then would have been, you know, average menial 2176 01:43:59,160 --> 01:44:01,400 contributors. Now, I don't think you could say 2177 01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:03,040 that because there's way too many variables. 2178 01:44:03,040 --> 01:44:05,360 It's an interesting conversation for sure. 2179 01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:11,160 But I think the one part that you have to hone in on is the 2180 01:44:11,800 --> 01:44:17,920 the lack of competition, right? The lack of seeking your time. 2181 01:44:18,320 --> 01:44:20,320 All right, so you get in the car. 2182 01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:22,640 Think about what you do when you in the car. 2183 01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:26,520 Now you get in the car and depending upon like even if 2184 01:44:26,520 --> 01:44:28,440 you're at a traffic light, you know, you might check a message. 2185 01:44:28,440 --> 01:44:31,480 Whatever you get in the car. Are you streaming music? 2186 01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:33,480 Are you streaming? Are you streaming this show? 2187 01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:36,960 Are you are you, you know, streaming another show? 2188 01:44:37,240 --> 01:44:38,960 Like what are you doing? I mean you are you listening to 2189 01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:41,960 an audio book? I could tell you that, you know, 2190 01:44:42,040 --> 01:44:44,520 you, you might be listening to WFAN because the ratings are 2191 01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:47,680 still really good and it's still WFAN. 2192 01:44:47,720 --> 01:44:51,360 It's got a lot of respect, it's got a lot of cache, but there's 2193 01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:53,240 seven options. There's twelve options, There's 2194 01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:55,840 fifteen options. Back in the day now, getting 2195 01:44:55,840 --> 01:44:59,840 your car in 1989, getting your car in 1993, What are you doing? 2196 01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:03,520 You're putting on WFAN or Z100. That's it. 2197 01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:06,400 So it doesn't mean that the guys back then were better. 2198 01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:10,120 I'm sorry, it just doesn't, it means that they capitalized and 2199 01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,280 to their credit, to their credit, cuz there were a lot of, 2200 01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:15,280 a lot of people who had a chance early that just didn't get the 2201 01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:17,000 job done. Didn't sound right, didn't look 2202 01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:18,840 right. The, the chemistry between two 2203 01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:21,360 hosts wasn't good. They made changes, you know, so 2204 01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:24,600 all the credit into the, to the in the world, to those, to those 2205 01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:27,680 men and women that did emerge from the early days of the 2206 01:45:27,680 --> 01:45:30,160 station. But to think that it's easier 2207 01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:35,160 now to be, to have that, that that persona is, it's a fallacy. 2208 01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:37,560 It's the complete opposite. It's the complete opposite. 2209 01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:40,680 It's not, it's not even close. It's just harder. 2210 01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:43,640 It's I'd say, I think it's harder to do anything. 2211 01:45:43,840 --> 01:45:49,120 Not if you think about like now think about, let's think about 2212 01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:54,040 this, all right, If you are, let's say you're a kid, Let's 2213 01:45:54,040 --> 01:45:57,200 take an inner city because I love basketball and I love inner 2214 01:45:57,200 --> 01:45:59,520 city basketball, right? I can certainly take a farm in 2215 01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:01,200 Indiana, but I'm going to take inner city. 2216 01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:04,080 Let's take a kid that's growing up and he's playing, he's 2217 01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:08,760 playing up in Harlem, right? He's playing in Brooklyn, You 2218 01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:11,480 know, like like Pearl Walk, Mark Jackson, Steph, a little bit 2219 01:46:11,480 --> 01:46:12,720 after that, Guys like that, right? 2220 01:46:13,120 --> 01:46:16,120 And obviously a lot of people before him where you got this 2221 01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:20,600 Isaiah Thomas in Chicago, going through the schoolyards where 2222 01:46:21,200 --> 01:46:24,880 God forbid you could get shot in addition to playing the best 2223 01:46:24,880 --> 01:46:30,600 competition in the world or mean streets of Philly or, you know, 2224 01:46:30,640 --> 01:46:32,440 Compton. And you're just looking for game 2225 01:46:32,440 --> 01:46:34,640 and you're trying to avoid the gangs and you're really trying 2226 01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:37,680 to do the right thing and not getting involved in the drug 2227 01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:40,240 game and, and, and the guns and all that. 2228 01:46:40,240 --> 01:46:44,560 And you just try to ball right. And the only thing that you had 2229 01:46:44,560 --> 01:46:47,040 to really compete with aside from the violence and and the 2230 01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:49,320 criminality aspect of it, which is unfortunate. 2231 01:46:50,280 --> 01:46:52,520 Well, from a basketball point of view, all you had to deal with 2232 01:46:52,520 --> 01:46:55,680 was the players in the United States. 2233 01:46:56,200 --> 01:46:59,760 OK, watching basketball when I was a kid, there were no 2234 01:46:59,760 --> 01:47:01,320 foreigners. Like there was like one or two 2235 01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:04,360 that Now that little shrimp, oh, where's he from? 2236 01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:06,200 Is he German or where's that guy from? 2237 01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:08,920 You know, all these guys. You knew him all from college 2238 01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:11,480 because you saw him play 3-4 years and it was all Americans. 2239 01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:14,720 Right now you've got it's a global game. 2240 01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:16,360 And I'm not knocking it. I'm just telling it's harder. 2241 01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:20,240 So now that kid who is really trying to do the same thing, you 2242 01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:22,680 know, avoiding the violence and avoiding and by the way, you 2243 01:47:22,680 --> 01:47:24,680 could be affluent as well. I'm just, I'm just painting the 2244 01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:27,120 imagery of really trying to rise from the ashes, right? 2245 01:47:27,600 --> 01:47:30,280 So you can, you could be, you know, scrapping on the 2246 01:47:30,280 --> 01:47:34,640 playgrounds or really more AAU now, but in Chicago or here or 2247 01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:36,960 Philly or Compton or wherever, right? 2248 01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:40,200 You know, Houston, TX, Dallas, whatever it might be. 2249 01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:43,360 And you could be the best, right? 2250 01:47:43,360 --> 01:47:46,040 And guess what? Now all of a sudden, the whole 2251 01:47:46,040 --> 01:47:49,040 you're going against the whole world, that's just basketball. 2252 01:47:49,280 --> 01:47:51,600 Think about what I opened the show with last night. 2253 01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:53,560 Think about what I opened the show, you know, last night. 2254 01:47:53,560 --> 01:47:58,200 The WBC, Japan, phenomenal, Dominican Republic, phenomenal, 2255 01:47:58,440 --> 01:48:02,440 Puerto Rico, phenomenal, Venezuela, good Italy. 2256 01:48:02,480 --> 01:48:04,480 I mean, I don't know how they still play Italy good. 2257 01:48:04,880 --> 01:48:08,360 You know, like look at our our American players for every Bryce 2258 01:48:08,360 --> 01:48:12,000 and every arid judge and every Whit and all those young studs, 2259 01:48:12,000 --> 01:48:14,120 right? The thing about the world that 2260 01:48:14,120 --> 01:48:16,560 you're trying to fend off to make it not only to the majors, 2261 01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:20,000 which is, you know, .1 of 1% just to get a college 2262 01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:23,080 scholarship. So everything is harder now. 2263 01:48:23,080 --> 01:48:25,640 I really believe that. I think everything is tougher 2264 01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:27,480 now. If you want to be a musician, 2265 01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:29,440 guess what? You could record a song. 2266 01:48:29,440 --> 01:48:31,320 Good luck to you. You know, you can make it 2267 01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:32,480 organic rap. You can be. 2268 01:48:32,480 --> 01:48:33,840 You can be. You can bang the violin. 2269 01:48:33,840 --> 01:48:36,520 You can hammer the drum. Not bang the violin, but play 2270 01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:38,520 the violin, hammer the guitar, whatever you're doing. 2271 01:48:38,520 --> 01:48:40,680 You know, music, dude. Alright, get it out there. 2272 01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:42,080 Fantastic. You can get it out there. 2273 01:48:42,080 --> 01:48:45,040 You ain't making a dime. You ain't making a dime. 2274 01:48:46,480 --> 01:48:48,080 That's right, you're not making a dime. 2275 01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:50,800 And there's. Also all these other people 2276 01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:53,440 doing the same thing that you're trying to distinguish yourself 2277 01:48:53,440 --> 01:48:55,840 more than so as I button all the time. 2278 01:48:55,840 --> 01:48:59,280 If you're a golfer, you know, growing up, you know, I meant 2279 01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,720 you like this way before me. I'll be like Jack and Arnie. 2280 01:49:02,080 --> 01:49:04,840 You know, growing up it was pretty much an American game. 2281 01:49:04,840 --> 01:49:07,640 It was obviously born in Scotland and Ireland was very, 2282 01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:09,720 very big. You know, now like, you know, of 2283 01:49:09,720 --> 01:49:12,560 course, South Africa going back to Gary Player back in the day 2284 01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:15,960 and Ernie Els, like South African has a very great golfing 2285 01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:18,440 imprint. But now it's, it's all over the 2286 01:49:18,440 --> 01:49:20,800 world. I mean, what Tiger Woods did for 2287 01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:25,120 the game of golf, not only for minorities, but for the world 2288 01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:29,400 right now to be a golfer, you're not just fending off the dude 5 2289 01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:31,560 states away that you're trying to beat, you know, for the 2290 01:49:31,560 --> 01:49:35,720 qualifier for some amateur event, you got to fend off so 2291 01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:40,400 and so in Japan and everywhere, Australia, New Zealand, 2292 01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:43,840 everywhere. So it's a lot harder, I think. 2293 01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:47,880 I think in a lot of ways, you know, what Joe said is true. 2294 01:49:48,240 --> 01:49:51,080 I, I agree with most of it. I just thought there was 2295 01:49:51,080 --> 01:49:54,240 interesting context for somebody who was there and who grew up 2296 01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:56,120 listening to the fan. You know what I'm saying? 2297 01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:58,400 A job, Joe J Rod, you know what I mean? 2298 01:49:58,640 --> 01:50:02,640 No big time, big time. I feel like great. 2299 01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:06,560 Expert fan analysis and yeah, I mean, it couldn't, it couldn't 2300 01:50:06,560 --> 01:50:08,760 be any truer. And like you said, it's not at 2301 01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:11,880 the fault of the fan. It's just times are changing. 2302 01:50:12,240 --> 01:50:13,360 Yeah. Yeah. 2303 01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:15,080 Because I do think, let's get that quote. 2304 01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:16,960 I'm gonna start. Wrapping things up, get get the 2305 01:50:16,960 --> 01:50:21,280 quote up there again and then get me up the a few good texts 2306 01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:23,440 about this. OK, one thing I don't want to 2307 01:50:23,440 --> 01:50:26,160 do, and I'm sure some people do this keep that up is because, 2308 01:50:26,240 --> 01:50:28,960 and I see it in the comments like one game I don't play. 2309 01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:32,680 I just I'm not interested. I've never gotten into radio 2310 01:50:32,680 --> 01:50:36,000 beefs. I do what I do, and I respect 2311 01:50:36,000 --> 01:50:38,520 what others do. Yeah, see, I yeah, I hate to say 2312 01:50:38,560 --> 01:50:40,280 it, that's most of the comments. I'm. 2313 01:50:40,280 --> 01:50:42,920 Looking at right here, well, I'm not going to put any of those 2314 01:50:42,920 --> 01:50:43,960 up. That's not what I'm trying to do 2315 01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:44,920 here, guys. I'm not about. 2316 01:50:44,920 --> 01:50:48,280 That you know, and if you notice where some of the comments, 2317 01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:51,920 because I do react to a lot of the comments on unleash on the 2318 01:50:51,920 --> 01:50:54,000 on the page there for the videos. 2319 01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:55,920 And sometimes, you know, you take shots at people and I 2320 01:50:55,920 --> 01:50:57,200 always say, Hey, keep it above board. 2321 01:50:57,480 --> 01:51:00,200 You know, I, I know those guys. I don't profess profess to be 2322 01:51:00,200 --> 01:51:04,000 best friends with all them, but I know them all and you know, I 2323 01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:06,320 had good relationships with, you know, fair, good enough. 2324 01:51:06,760 --> 01:51:09,320 And I just I'm not going to get into that. 2325 01:51:09,320 --> 01:51:11,640 So if it's about somebody and you're taking a shot at 2326 01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:14,600 somebody, I'm not doing that. And if you do it on on the 2327 01:51:14,600 --> 01:51:16,880 YouTube page, I guess I can't prevent you from doing it. 2328 01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:18,800 Same with Instagram, but I don't lean into it. 2329 01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:20,600 I don't feed it. I'm worried about me. 2330 01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:22,720 All right, I'm worried about me. I'm worried about this channel. 2331 01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:26,120 I'm worried about us. Jim Rome, Jim Rome, be a great 2332 01:51:26,120 --> 01:51:28,040 convo here with BTI can probably get. 2333 01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:29,240 I don't know if Rome would do it. 2334 01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:31,400 I know, Jim, you can get that down. 2335 01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:33,400 I know him a little bit. I saw him at a couple of Super 2336 01:51:33,400 --> 01:51:35,800 Bowls. Always treated me well. 2337 01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:38,600 Good guy. But I should still have his 2338 01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:39,320 number. Yeah. 2339 01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:43,160 I mean, maybe the the the Phuk, your your couch. 2340 01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:46,200 Is that sort of a recency bias because you believe he can go 2341 01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:48,600 back and be a star back then, But some of those older guys are 2342 01:51:48,600 --> 01:51:51,760 having a real tough time adjusting to the newer mediums. 2343 01:51:51,760 --> 01:51:54,240 No, no. What I'm saying is no, no, like 2344 01:51:54,480 --> 01:51:57,880 again, do I? What I mean is now I think I've 2345 01:51:57,880 --> 01:52:01,480 done well, OK. I've done well financially and 2346 01:52:01,480 --> 01:52:02,720 I've done well. Perceptually. 2347 01:52:02,720 --> 01:52:04,480 And I do believe that I'm respected. 2348 01:52:04,480 --> 01:52:06,240 I do. I know a lot of people don't 2349 01:52:06,240 --> 01:52:09,360 like my style, but I do believe that I have carved out a 2350 01:52:09,360 --> 01:52:13,560 respected existence in the world of sports talk. 2351 01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:16,920 I firmly believe that. So what I what I mean by some of 2352 01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:20,000 us being able if like if we were transported back then, we would 2353 01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:21,800 have had an easier chance to be a star. 2354 01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:24,720 I mean the persona, you know, because there was just weren't 2355 01:52:24,840 --> 01:52:29,600 other people to fend off. It's just the reality of it, 2356 01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:32,760 man. Now some people that are having 2357 01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:35,040 a rough time transitioning that are older to the new. 2358 01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:36,840 Medium. I mean, I can't really speak. 2359 01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:38,680 I'm not saying I'm not 25 years old. 2360 01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:42,240 I mean, so I, I guess I'm, I'm more of the older side than the 2361 01:52:42,240 --> 01:52:44,360 younger side. And this, this is, I don't want 2362 01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:46,640 to say it's easy because I'm not taking it for granted, but it 2363 01:52:46,640 --> 01:52:49,040 was a very seamless transition. I can't speak to that. 2364 01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:51,240 I can't speak to that. Like if you if you don't take 2365 01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:54,480 the time to learn this, if you just denounced the new medium, 2366 01:52:54,800 --> 01:52:56,240 you're going to die. You're going to die death. 2367 01:52:56,240 --> 01:52:57,800 So like you're not going to nobody's going to watch you. 2368 01:52:57,800 --> 01:52:59,320 Like you've got to be able to evolve there. 2369 01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:02,560 So I don't really know what you meant by that, but either way, I 2370 01:53:02,560 --> 01:53:05,600 appreciate it. And the under score 516 radio 2371 01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:08,400 and the RSNS are dying yeah, the regional sport network sports 2372 01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:11,680 networks are is there any way they end up merging into one 2373 01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:15,280 realistically or basically WFN and yes, become the same thing 2374 01:53:15,280 --> 01:53:17,480 when then K yeah, they only booth to the Yankees. 2375 01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:20,280 You get your announcers for 162 in the playoffs. 2376 01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:23,000 I don't know the answer to that. Listen, I I got to I got to 2377 01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:28,240 stand up for the for S&Y here Now, obviously I'm a Yankee fan. 2378 01:53:29,080 --> 01:53:30,120 I love it. I love watching. 2379 01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:32,280 You know, I love Ki, love the announcers or somebody I don't 2380 01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:34,120 think are great, but some I I love. 2381 01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:37,000 But I think SOY does an outstanding. 2382 01:53:37,000 --> 01:53:38,680 Job I really. Do there's just not a lot on 2383 01:53:38,680 --> 01:53:41,040 during the day with yes, I'm not watching Nets basketball not 2384 01:53:41,040 --> 01:53:42,720 interested. You know, when they get good, 2385 01:53:42,720 --> 01:53:44,960 I'll check in on them. I'm not watching them now, you 2386 01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:47,720 know, and some of the other content just not interested in 2387 01:53:47,840 --> 01:53:51,480 on yes, SNY doesn't. That's how I end my nights. 2388 01:53:51,600 --> 01:53:54,680 Like I usually end up watching politics and watching sports 2389 01:53:54,680 --> 01:53:55,680 night. By the way, I'm going to have 2390 01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:57,680 Nikki Ladarullo on the show, big St. 2391 01:53:57,680 --> 01:54:01,120 John's fan and you know, she's younger and she's a massive St. 2392 01:54:01,120 --> 01:54:05,040 John's fan and she was she, she covers the Big East. 2393 01:54:05,320 --> 01:54:07,120 So I've seen her a lot. You know, she came up to 2394 01:54:07,120 --> 01:54:08,880 Providence last year for St. John's. 2395 01:54:09,560 --> 01:54:10,600 We're trying to work something out. 2396 01:54:10,600 --> 01:54:13,400 We were texting earlier and we're going to get on. 2397 01:54:13,480 --> 01:54:15,440 I've got to see you now.

She's up for it. 2402 01:54:27,320 --> 01:54:30,960 It's going to make it happen. But S&Y does a really good job. 2403 01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:34,280 And you know, I worked at S&Y, they don't pay well at all back 2404 01:54:34,280 --> 01:54:35,960 then. They just don't, you know, I 2405 01:54:35,960 --> 01:54:38,400 don't know if it's changed and it's not my job to judge, but I 2406 01:54:38,400 --> 01:54:42,000 just know back then they did not pay at all, right. 2407 01:54:43,400 --> 01:54:45,600 But they do a really good job.

Sit here and say. 2437 01:56:08,680 --> 01:56:10,320 No, I would never put up with that. 2438 01:56:10,320 --> 01:56:13,000 That's bullshit. Listen, C Mac had to do it. 2439 01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:16,120 He had to do it because he that's his chance to to jump 2440 01:56:16,120 --> 01:56:18,840 into the mix, man, that that's a seat at the big boy table. 2441 01:56:19,160 --> 01:56:20,560 I get it. I really do. 2442 01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:24,200 You know, carton's the star and and that's the way it goes. 2443 01:56:24,560 --> 01:56:29,760 So I remember that was different because when I was with Stephen 2444 01:56:29,760 --> 01:56:31,080 A, it was called the Stephen A Smith show. 2445 01:56:31,080 --> 01:56:34,840 But and BT and he would always start to show my right hand man 2446 01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:38,920 BT like we were tied as hell and we were boys and and our show 2447 01:56:38,920 --> 01:56:41,440 was phenomenal. I always said, yeah, whatever 2448 01:56:41,920 --> 01:56:44,240 doesn't mean anything. I always say that's the biggest 2449 01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:48,640 mistake that 1050 ever made, breaking us up, really, and not 2450 01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:51,200 making it more of a yeah, you could put him to be the star. 2451 01:56:51,200 --> 01:56:53,680 I know I I got it. But give me a little bill in 2452 01:56:53,680 --> 01:56:55,640 here now. Yeah, I've got to put myself 2453 01:56:55,640 --> 01:56:58,080 back in those shoes, like C Max shoes, right? 2454 01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:01,600 He's younger, he's talented. I like C Mac Chris, a good dude, 2455 01:57:03,040 --> 01:57:04,360 very good dude. I'm happy for him. 2456 01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:06,040 And I text him. That when he got the job. 2457 01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:07,920 Same with Sean, same with those guys, right? 2458 01:57:08,520 --> 01:57:12,400 And if like if I'm if I'm C Mac and I'm doing overnights and I'm 2459 01:57:12,400 --> 01:57:16,280 trying to get on the fan and it's I think it's called the 2460 01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:17,600 carton show. I'm honestly, I'm not trying to 2461 01:57:17,600 --> 01:57:18,760 be jerk. I honestly don't know. 2462 01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:21,160 I think it's called, I think it's called the Carton show with 2463 01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:23,960 C Mac. I think whatever it is, you 2464 01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:27,000 know, it's not like Craig and C Mack or the you got, you got to 2465 01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:28,600 do what you got to do to get in the door, man. 2466 01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:31,440 And it's easy to be all brazen and tough. 2467 01:57:31,680 --> 01:57:33,720 Oh, I wouldn't, I wouldn't know. I would take what I could get. 2468 01:57:34,040 --> 01:57:35,360 Like that's just the honest answer. 2469 01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:38,680 You think like I could sit here and say and lie and say, Oh, I 2470 01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:41,080 used to knock on management's door and say, how come it's not 2471 01:57:41,080 --> 01:57:43,640 Stephen A and BT? Honestly, because I was happy to 2472 01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:46,440 have a job. I was making good money and I 2473 01:57:46,560 --> 01:57:48,480 was, I was, I was carving out a career. 2474 01:57:48,480 --> 01:57:50,640 That's why, that's why you do it. 2475 01:57:51,320 --> 01:57:55,000 So, you know, I don't know if that's the perfect answer, but 2476 01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:57,880 I, I understand why Chris did what he did. 2477 01:57:57,880 --> 01:58:01,600 And I probably would have done the same thing now, you know, I 2478 01:58:01,600 --> 01:58:05,600 mean, did I in hindsight, did I love? 2479 01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:08,600 I didn't really bother me. Like maybe a little eagle play 2480 01:58:08,600 --> 01:58:11,200 you want to talk about like, which name is first, like Tiki 2481 01:58:11,200 --> 01:58:13,400 and Tierney? I mean, you know, in my mind it 2482 01:58:13,400 --> 01:58:15,680 should have been BT and Tiki. Whatever. 2483 01:58:15,680 --> 01:58:18,400 I didn't really care. You know, BT and Sal. 2484 01:58:18,400 --> 01:58:20,120 I mean, if they would have been like, it's Sal and BTI would 2485 01:58:20,120 --> 01:58:22,240 have been like, not that I really would have cared, but 2486 01:58:22,520 --> 01:58:26,560 only because I was there. Like, you know it, It doesn't. 2487 01:58:27,200 --> 01:58:29,840 Are you on the air, man? Like is your name in the show 2488 01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:32,920 and are you getting paid? And more importantly for Chris, 2489 01:58:33,200 --> 01:58:37,080 are you getting a chance to expand how many people hear you 2490 01:58:37,320 --> 01:58:39,360 and you do what you got to do for your family? 2491 01:58:39,360 --> 01:58:41,040 Dude, you know the by the way, the day. 2492 01:58:41,040 --> 01:58:45,760 Here's the other thing too. The days of demanding I want 2493 01:58:45,760 --> 01:58:47,280 this. I need this new contract. 2494 01:58:47,280 --> 01:58:48,840 Those days are over. They're not even. 2495 01:58:48,840 --> 01:58:50,400 Negotiations. Hey, let me tell you what 2496 01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:55,440 happens at basically, basically at at these places. 2497 01:58:55,480 --> 01:58:57,040 All right. Now, I'm sure it's different for 2498 01:58:57,040 --> 01:59:01,200 Boomer, probably a little different for GL for most of us, 2499 01:59:01,280 --> 01:59:03,640 right. It was here's the contract 2500 01:59:03,640 --> 01:59:04,800 offer. Take it or leave it. 2501 01:59:04,920 --> 01:59:07,560 Honestly, there's there's not even any negotiation. 2502 01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:09,680 So at that point I'm like, I don't even need it. 2503 01:59:09,680 --> 01:59:11,000 I don't need an agent anymore for this. 2504 01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:13,680 Why am I going to pay an agent a percentage when it's basically 2505 01:59:13,680 --> 01:59:15,160 hair? This is what we we want you. 2506 01:59:15,400 --> 01:59:18,240 We think you're good and we want to put you in the in in the mid 2507 01:59:18,240 --> 01:59:19,800 days. But you know, you were making 2508 01:59:19,800 --> 01:59:22,320 this at the network and you know, they, they actually did 2509 01:59:22,320 --> 01:59:24,640 the right thing. And you know, I was making very, 2510 01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:26,440 very good money for a midday host. 2511 01:59:26,440 --> 01:59:29,760 I know that for a fact, but that's probably one of the 2512 01:59:29,760 --> 01:59:33,520 reasons why I'm gone too much. Admit that guy. 2513 01:59:34,280 --> 01:59:36,120 But there was no real negotiation. 2514 01:59:36,120 --> 01:59:39,400 You know, a little tick here, an extra week of vacation, that's 2515 01:59:39,400 --> 01:59:41,160 it. That's radio now. 2516 01:59:41,400 --> 01:59:44,600 That's radio now. Whereas when I am negotiating 2517 01:59:44,800 --> 01:59:48,560 our sponsorship with Sullivan for pain, it's like our first 2518 01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:49,880 sponsor. We've got more coming. 2519 01:59:50,120 --> 01:59:53,040 That's why Sullivan will always be #1 I mean, they jumped into 2520 01:59:53,040 --> 01:59:55,880 YouTube, they jumped into Unleashed and they said, I 2521 01:59:55,880 --> 01:59:57,760 believe in you. Here's X amount of money. 2522 01:59:58,040 --> 02:00:00,040 And it wasn't, you know, we had to negotiate that. 2523 02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:04,160 So it is different whether your name's on the show or whether 2524 02:00:04,160 --> 02:00:06,000 you, you know, you want this per year. 2525 02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:09,480 But they're offering this. The days of demanding anything, 2526 02:00:09,520 --> 02:00:14,600 it's just over, trust me. On on WFAN, I'm not saying like. 2527 02:00:14,600 --> 02:00:17,480 For some of these big. TV shows and other outlets. 2528 02:00:17,480 --> 02:00:20,080 It's about conventional terrestrial radio. 2529 02:00:20,120 --> 02:00:22,280 You're not demanding anything, you just not. 2530 02:00:22,320 --> 02:00:23,720 And if you are, you ain't gonna be around. 2531 02:00:24,880 --> 02:00:28,720 Let's see at Sean B50D until you guys get a hard phone line. 2532 02:00:28,720 --> 02:00:31,720 Why not use Discord? It's free, calls are clear, no 2533 02:00:31,720 --> 02:00:33,600 drops and a really good service. Just a thought. 2534 02:00:34,320 --> 02:00:35,920 Let's get on that buddy. You can't. 2535 02:00:36,400 --> 02:00:38,880 You can't get on me with this, with this behind the scenes 2536 02:00:38,880 --> 02:00:40,440 mumbo jumbo. What Discord? 2537 02:00:40,440 --> 02:00:43,760 I don't even know what that is. I know what it means Discord but 2538 02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:47,120 what does he mean this cord? No discord. 2539 02:00:47,120 --> 02:00:50,160 It's like it's similar to this. Platform. 2540 02:00:50,360 --> 02:00:53,080 Oh, this and Skype. Oh, there you go. 2541 02:00:53,240 --> 02:00:54,200 Yeah. Well, then we'll figure it out. 2542 02:00:54,560 --> 02:00:55,560 You know the new way we're going to. 2543 02:00:55,560 --> 02:00:58,040 Get some calls here. Let's just let's just plug this 2544 02:00:58,040 --> 02:01:00,080 cord into the wall, see if it works. 2545 02:01:00,200 --> 02:01:03,520 It's the Discord phone line which drives this. 2546 02:01:03,720 --> 02:01:05,480 Get out of here, right? But. 2547 02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:08,280 Discord get on that J Rod, let's go keep these texts pumping I. 2548 02:01:08,280 --> 02:01:09,280 Know people love.

For S&Y to do an outdoor show 2553 02:01:17,880 --> 02:01:21,120 with BT and Sal and JJ, the comedy would be off the charts, 2554 02:01:21,120 --> 02:01:24,440 especially with the prospects of Sal being scared. 2555 02:01:24,440 --> 02:01:25,920 Shit. Why would he be scared? 2556 02:01:26,640 --> 02:01:27,280 I don't know. Who knows? 2557 02:01:27,280 --> 02:01:29,000 In the outdoors, maybe he's just. 2558 02:01:29,200 --> 02:01:32,360 Outdoors, like they're saying, like if you guys did like a man. 2559 02:01:32,360 --> 02:01:37,520 Versus wild type.

This is the other time. 2649 02:05:49,280 --> 02:05:53,360 I I really don't think I've ever been as I I honestly thought I 2650 02:05:53,360 --> 02:05:54,520 didn't know what was going to happen. 2651 02:05:54,520 --> 02:05:55,800 True. This is a true story. 2652 02:05:56,280 --> 02:05:59,560 So I've got I got the IT was like a Wednesday that it was a 2653 02:05:59,560 --> 02:06:01,640 dark day.

Oh my gosh, how am I going to 2670 02:06:47,520 --> 02:06:51,560 get down? And when I tell you that hand to 2671 02:06:51,560 --> 02:06:59,440 Bible, it was the the width of the road was there wasn't a lot 2672 02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:00,160 of. Extra room. 2673 02:07:00,800 --> 02:07:04,560 All right, now I started getting a little afraid of heights. 2674 02:07:04,600 --> 02:07:07,640 This was the final like you are officially scared of heights, 2675 02:07:07,640 --> 02:07:09,920 buddy. I remember when we went zip zip 2676 02:07:09,920 --> 02:07:11,600 lining on our honeymoon in Costa Rica. 2677 02:07:11,800 --> 02:07:13,240 I wasn't I'm like, this is great. 2678 02:07:13,240 --> 02:07:17,320 I didn't really as I got and that was in 2010 around the mid 2679 02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:20,440 20s. I'm 2015, so a little nervous at 2680 02:07:20,440 --> 02:07:22,800 heights. Anyway, I'm looking down now. 2681 02:07:22,920 --> 02:07:27,120 The not only is it narrow, Jared, when I tell you it's one 2682 02:07:27,120 --> 02:07:28,880 way. Oh. 2683 02:07:28,880 --> 02:07:32,600 My gosh, dude. There's barely enough room for 2684 02:07:32,600 --> 02:07:33,520 two cars.

Getting nervous thinking about 2688 02:07:40,120 --> 02:07:43,560 this now so as much as I'm enjoying the ride, I get to the 2689 02:07:43,560 --> 02:07:45,120 top. I'm like God, but and I'm like. 2690 02:07:45,200 --> 02:07:47,360 Wait, I'm thinking there's going to be like AI don't know what 2691 02:07:47,360 --> 02:07:49,560 I'm thinking is going to be up there like a parking lot where I 2692 02:07:49,560 --> 02:07:51,720 could do AK turn and just come down. 2693 02:07:52,680 --> 02:07:57,880 I'm freaking the fuck out, man. I am beyond terrified. 2694 02:07:57,880 --> 02:08:03,240 I'm actually praying to God. I'm praying because I look down 2695 02:08:03,360 --> 02:08:05,400 and it's just vast. Wilderness. 2696 02:08:05,440 --> 02:08:11,160 It's I am above the tree lines by hundreds of yards. 2697 02:08:11,680 --> 02:08:15,600 I'm like, I don't have enough. Room. 2698 02:08:15,640 --> 02:08:19,360 To navigate this thing I have no service. 2699 02:08:19,360 --> 02:08:21,360 I was going to call the park. Ranger or a. 2700 02:08:21,360 --> 02:08:22,880 Helicopter. I really didn't know that. 2701 02:08:23,560 --> 02:08:28,400 I'm like, I now I now now this is where I really got scared. 2702 02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:32,520 I'm like, all right, dude. And I I oh man, I'm really 2703 02:08:32,520 --> 02:08:33,680 getting anxiety thinking about this. 2704 02:08:33,720 --> 02:08:39,280 I'm like, what if a wild animal runs at me and I fall off the. 2705 02:08:39,280 --> 02:08:44,000 Mountain. Oh my gosh, this is what I'm 2706 02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:46,560 thinking about when I'm talking. To the mountain like I am all 2707 02:08:46,760 --> 02:08:48,400 we're. Talking about is my children. 2708 02:08:49,120 --> 02:08:52,600 Oh man, I am praying. I am praying to my Maker. 2709 02:08:52,880 --> 02:08:55,200 I am. Praying and because I'm I'm 2710 02:08:55,240 --> 02:09:01,680 deathly scared to stand near the ledge I'm on my knees or door. 2711 02:09:02,280 --> 02:09:07,920 I was paralyzed with fear. I could not move like call the 2712 02:09:07,920 --> 02:09:10,160 cell, call, call, call the park Ranger, no. 2713 02:09:10,160 --> 02:09:13,200 Service. As I said, I I'm like, you got 2714 02:09:13,200 --> 02:09:14,480 to get the fuck out of you. Just you have. 2715 02:09:14,560 --> 02:09:19,360 You have to get out of here. So I turn the car and as I'm 2716 02:09:19,360 --> 02:09:24,640 doing this, I slowly do it. And now so I give enough room 2717 02:09:25,560 --> 02:09:30,000 for another car to come through. Yeah, OK, going up was the easy 2718 02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:31,320 part. Reversing. 2719 02:09:31,320 --> 02:09:34,880 The car to come down. Was tricky, actually coming down 2720 02:09:34,920 --> 02:09:37,720 was the worst part. I mean, I'm sure the worst, 2721 02:09:37,960 --> 02:09:39,320 right? I'm. 2722 02:09:39,320 --> 02:09:41,560 Sitting there, I I. Was crying like I'm crying. 2723 02:09:41,560 --> 02:09:44,360 To myself, I'm. Like I really then I'm like, 2724 02:09:45,080 --> 02:09:48,040 because I'm saying to myself, what if like a a moose, not a 2725 02:09:48,040 --> 02:09:50,800 moose, moose all the way up there. 2726 02:09:50,800 --> 02:09:52,480 Moose is they're terrified. What? 2727 02:09:52,480 --> 02:09:55,520 If a bear really. Like a werewolf and a werewolf 2728 02:09:56,000 --> 02:09:59,840 coyote or something runs at me. I got nowhere to go and like, 2729 02:09:59,920 --> 02:10:03,400 and he attacks me and I fall or if I try to walk away and I 2730 02:10:03,400 --> 02:10:06,440 fall, I'm, I'm, I'm thousands of feet. 2731 02:10:06,440 --> 02:10:09,160 I'm dead and I don't think anybody would find me right. 2732 02:10:10,240 --> 02:10:12,000 All I'm thinking is my kids and so. 2733 02:10:12,000 --> 02:10:13,320 Oh. My God, I'm actually a good. 2734 02:10:13,320 --> 02:10:14,160 Nervous. Now think about. 2735 02:10:14,880 --> 02:10:17,160 So finally I turn the car to them and I'm holding the 2736 02:10:17,160 --> 02:10:20,880 steering wheel like this. And I see now there's enough 2737 02:10:20,880 --> 02:10:23,120 room for the car to get. I'm like, somebody please come. 2738 02:10:23,120 --> 02:10:25,440 Just somebody, please come. Somebody has to come. 2739 02:10:26,040 --> 02:10:29,800 And then I see a car. 22 old guys. 2740 02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:33,280 They were old, right? When I say old, I don't like in 2741 02:10:33,280 --> 02:10:34,840 their 70s. They weren't like lights. 2742 02:10:34,840 --> 02:10:37,840 They were like 75 seconds. Yeah, just driving slow, 2743 02:10:37,840 --> 02:10:40,200 laughing, talking. One guy's holding the cigar. 2744 02:10:41,200 --> 02:10:43,000 I look at myself. Alright, I go. 2745 02:10:43,480 --> 02:10:44,680 You got fucking. Man up, man. 2746 02:10:44,760 --> 02:10:49,160 You got you can't be a wuss like if me two dudes who are then 2747 02:10:49,160 --> 02:10:49,880 again, if I. Was 80. 2748 02:10:49,880 --> 02:10:51,200 I don't. Think I'd care as much about? 2749 02:10:51,200 --> 02:10:54,080 Dying, Yeah, maybe that's not, that's not how I would want to 2750 02:10:54,080 --> 02:10:55,840 go, but I'm like. If these guys. 2751 02:10:55,840 --> 02:10:58,320 Are doing it you better figure out a way to get down this 2752 02:10:58,320 --> 02:11:02,360 mountain bro and because they were in front of me I felt like 2753 02:11:02,360 --> 02:11:07,960 I could go really really slow I I finally. 2754 02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:09,680 Got that and when I got to the base they. 2755 02:11:09,720 --> 02:11:11,360 Were at the base. Was like a little railing where 2756 02:11:11,360 --> 02:11:14,120 I knew I was now safe. I got down, I pulled now I 2757 02:11:14,120 --> 02:11:19,080 actually got out of my out of out of the car on normal flat 2758 02:11:19,080 --> 02:11:21,520 ground and got on my knees and prayed and thank God. 2759 02:11:21,960 --> 02:11:23,840 I honestly thought that was beautiful. 2760 02:11:25,480 --> 02:11:26,440 That's great. Would you? 2761 02:11:26,520 --> 02:11:28,800 Say that was like. Some of the most relief. 2762 02:11:28,800 --> 02:11:31,480 You've ever felt in your life when you hit that base of the 2763 02:11:31,480 --> 02:11:34,040 mouth without question. Without question. 2764 02:11:35,080 --> 02:11:37,120 Without question. I don't even know what a close 2765 02:11:37,120 --> 02:11:39,720 second is. I mean, I mean, in hindsight, 2766 02:11:39,720 --> 02:11:42,040 like I could look back at the time I got in a car accident 2767 02:11:42,040 --> 02:11:45,040 really bad my senior year in high school. 2768 02:11:46,240 --> 02:11:47,440 Yeah, I remember you talking about. 2769 02:11:48,040 --> 02:11:49,360 Yeah, I. Wasn't driving. 2770 02:11:49,360 --> 02:11:51,720 And it was. Two kids, young kids doing 2771 02:11:51,720 --> 02:11:55,080 stupid stuff. We crashed at 108 miles an hour. 2772 02:11:55,960 --> 02:11:57,560 Yeah, yeah. I don't really talk about that 2773 02:11:57,560 --> 02:12:00,640 too much, but like, of course, you know, that's my way of 2774 02:12:00,640 --> 02:12:02,800 saying God had a plan for you, you know, to be dad, to be a 2775 02:12:02,800 --> 02:12:05,960 husband, like he spared you. I mean, by every account, should 2776 02:12:05,960 --> 02:12:07,520 not have walked away from that car accident. 2777 02:12:07,600 --> 02:12:10,000 Just should not have. The car was a mangled mess. 2778 02:12:10,000 --> 02:12:11,280 Literally. I can't even think about it. 2779 02:12:11,480 --> 02:12:13,560 That's a different level of like, wow. 2780 02:12:14,080 --> 02:12:16,760 But in the moment, because it happened so fast, like the car 2781 02:12:16,760 --> 02:12:18,920 accident, knock on wood, it's different. 2782 02:12:18,920 --> 02:12:20,840 It's different. It's different because I was by 2783 02:12:20,840 --> 02:12:24,520 myself and nobody was near me. I'm not in my element. 2784 02:12:24,520 --> 02:12:31,640 Like there's animals and all I hear is, oh, I hear these eagles 2785 02:12:32,080 --> 02:12:35,640 like these. I honestly thought it was over 2786 02:12:35,640 --> 02:12:38,080 man, and I couldn't even call. My wife, it has such a long. 2787 02:12:38,080 --> 02:12:40,440 Build up. I'm just like, Oh my God, Oh my. 2788 02:12:42,240 --> 02:12:44,200 God like yo, it would have been. Honestly, it would have been bad 2789 02:12:44,200 --> 02:12:47,640 enough if there was a guardrail. And I still had to go down. 2790 02:12:47,880 --> 02:12:50,240 But the fact that I had to manipulate the car now, 2791 02:12:50,240 --> 02:12:53,600 obviously there was enough car enough, enough space to do like 2792 02:12:53,600 --> 02:12:55,880 the broken K turn or the whatever the hell I did. 2793 02:12:57,160 --> 02:12:59,120 I mean, I can't even think about it anymore. 2794 02:12:59,120 --> 02:13:00,280 I got to move on. From that because. 2795 02:13:00,600 --> 02:13:02,560 It was, it was not good, it was not good. 2796 02:13:02,560 --> 02:13:04,600 Get some text up there before.

Oh wait, hold on, here's a 2800 02:13:11,840 --> 02:13:16,720 hilarious one first. Dang dude, too many comments to 2801 02:13:16,760 --> 02:13:19,280 go through. BT you need to show some range 2802 02:13:19,280 --> 02:13:22,080 and do a spot on Ms. Now with Rachel Maddow. 2803 02:13:22,880 --> 02:13:24,560 Is she still on?

Well, here's listen, it's funny 2807 02:13:31,040 --> 02:13:32,160 you say that. So that's from from. 2808 02:13:32,160 --> 02:13:36,320 Withdrew. Yeah, for on Ms. OK, so I I've 2809 02:13:36,320 --> 02:13:39,440 been on Fox a few times, right? My buddy Jimmy Faylor, who I've 2810 02:13:39,440 --> 02:13:43,120 become pretty good friends with wildly talented comedian. 2811 02:13:43,280 --> 02:13:46,920 Awesome, right. So it started where we got an 2812 02:13:46,920 --> 02:13:49,200 e-mail to the account of of Unleashed here. 2813 02:13:49,600 --> 02:13:52,000 And actually let me let me take a step, take a step back. 2814 02:13:52,120 --> 02:13:57,080 There was a point about I want to say about. 2815 02:13:58,040 --> 02:13:59,320 I guess it was right around COVID. 2816 02:13:59,320 --> 02:14:02,360 So I'm talking about 5-6 years ago, you know, Jesse Waters. 2817 02:14:02,360 --> 02:14:05,760 I don't know if you do from Fox. I saw a picture. 2818 02:14:05,760 --> 02:14:08,320 I was, you know, Yeah, yeah. Yes, yes, yes. 2819 02:14:09,040 --> 02:14:10,440 So, Jesse? Waters's people. 2820 02:14:10,440 --> 02:14:13,200 Reached out to me, I don't know. It may have been honestly may 2821 02:14:13,200 --> 02:14:15,040 have been the Kaepernick stuff. I don't recall. 2822 02:14:15,360 --> 02:14:17,080 It was. It wasn't to talk about Yankees 2823 02:14:17,080 --> 02:14:18,120 free agency. Put it down. 2824 02:14:18,800 --> 02:14:19,960 Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah. 2825 02:14:19,960 --> 02:14:22,360 So I'm. Like, you know. 2826 02:14:23,040 --> 02:14:25,760 I'm like, I'm not going to. I know the association with Fox, 2827 02:14:25,760 --> 02:14:28,680 much like you know, the association with CNN and Ms. 2828 02:14:28,800 --> 02:14:32,840 like you know which way of course, and I'm like, I'm not 2829 02:14:32,840 --> 02:14:34,440 going to do that. I'm just especially the. 2830 02:14:34,440 --> 02:14:36,760 Sensitivity. To the topic, right, I'm not 2831 02:14:36,760 --> 02:14:38,160 going to do that. And I and they asked a few, they 2832 02:14:38,440 --> 02:14:41,560 asked me a couple times and I turned it down, right. 2833 02:14:41,960 --> 02:14:49,680 And when we launched this, the people of Jimmy Fallon reached 2834 02:14:49,680 --> 02:14:51,640 out and they're like, no, I'm sorry. 2835 02:14:51,680 --> 02:14:55,680 First it was Brian Kilmeade's people and great, great guy Vert 2836 02:14:55,680 --> 02:14:58,040 kill me, really cool producer, really big fan of the station, 2837 02:14:58,040 --> 02:14:59,720 big St. John's guy, good dudes, right? 2838 02:15:00,080 --> 02:15:03,000 So they want to do a youth sports segment and I've, I've 2839 02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:05,600 done some content on here and a lot of people know I coach and 2840 02:15:05,600 --> 02:15:09,040 all that stuff, right? Coach the kids and and I went 2841 02:15:09,040 --> 02:15:10,480 on, it's not about politics, right? 2842 02:15:10,480 --> 02:15:14,200 But obviously being on Fox, there's an association, you 2843 02:15:14,200 --> 02:15:16,840 know, pro Trump right wing, right? 2844 02:15:17,200 --> 02:15:19,920 And I don't talk about politics because I don't think it's 2845 02:15:19,920 --> 02:15:22,160 beneficial to me. I don't think that you guys 2846 02:15:22,160 --> 02:15:24,280 follow me for this reason. I know you don't. 2847 02:15:24,320 --> 02:15:28,000 And I don't want to hear your opinions on politics, which is 2848 02:15:28,000 --> 02:15:31,120 why, and this went pretty viral. I was basically telling 2849 02:15:31,120 --> 02:15:33,000 everybody in my field, guys, dial it down. 2850 02:15:33,000 --> 02:15:35,800 Nobody gives a shit who you voted for and nobody wants to 2851 02:15:35,800 --> 02:15:38,840 hear you take shots or or prop people up like the gratuity 2852 02:15:38,840 --> 02:15:41,640 shots now, not not when you talk about Aaron Boone. 2853 02:15:41,640 --> 02:15:44,760 And then the next shot is, is a knock, you know, at Trump or pro 2854 02:15:44,760 --> 02:15:47,720 Trump or at Biden or I did. What are we doing, man? 2855 02:15:47,760 --> 02:15:51,400 Right. So, but, but given the 2856 02:15:51,400 --> 02:15:57,120 sensitivity to that, you know, a lot of people who follow me and 2857 02:15:57,120 --> 02:15:58,720 and knew that I was going on Fox like all why? 2858 02:15:58,880 --> 02:16:00,680 And some people loved it pro Fox. 2859 02:16:00,880 --> 02:16:03,120 Some people like, how could you go on that horrible network? 2860 02:16:03,120 --> 02:16:05,080 I get it. I said, Hey, I'm going on youth 2861 02:16:05,080 --> 02:16:07,360 sports, right? And that's what I talked about. 2862 02:16:07,680 --> 02:16:10,640 And then Jimmy Faylor's people invited me and I've been on 2863 02:16:10,640 --> 02:16:13,000 twice. He's got a national radio show 2864 02:16:13,000 --> 02:16:15,360 that's not first to have the Super Bowl. 2865 02:16:15,360 --> 02:16:18,920 And I by the way, I nailed I I nailed the score to basically to 2866 02:16:19,360 --> 02:16:21,080 the point and to the point spread. 2867 02:16:21,080 --> 02:16:23,040 Yes, I won a lot of people, a lot of money. 2868 02:16:23,320 --> 02:16:26,000 So I was on with Jimmy there. And then they asked me back. 2869 02:16:26,000 --> 02:16:27,520 It went really well. We talked, we talked about 2870 02:16:27,520 --> 02:16:31,040 nothing about politics. So I say this because if they 2871 02:16:31,040 --> 02:16:36,360 invited me on, I'd go on like to me any, you know, I've said a 2872 02:16:36,360 --> 02:16:38,520 few times like, you know, like say if, like if. 2873 02:16:38,520 --> 02:16:40,799 There's a trade. That the Yankees and the Mets 2874 02:16:40,799 --> 02:16:42,799 could make that would benefit the Yankees and benefit the 2875 02:16:42,799 --> 02:16:45,080 makes and, and, and benefit the Mets. 2876 02:16:45,200 --> 02:16:47,120 Why would you not do it? Like, why? 2877 02:16:47,360 --> 02:16:49,080 Because all the gangs and the Mets can't make a deal. 2878 02:16:49,080 --> 02:16:51,080 It's not good for business. All the perception, blah, blah, 2879 02:16:51,080 --> 02:16:54,200 blah. If if I'm on one outlet that 2880 02:16:54,200 --> 02:16:58,760 that espouses a certain, you know, tone towards politics, but 2881 02:16:58,760 --> 02:17:02,200 I'm not talking politics. But it's a massive platform to 2882 02:17:02,200 --> 02:17:06,600 talk about something important like youth, youth sports and the 2883 02:17:06,600 --> 02:17:09,360 decaying nature and the pressures and the economic 2884 02:17:09,360 --> 02:17:12,000 costs. Why am I not doing that same 2885 02:17:12,000 --> 02:17:15,160 thing if Rachel or CNN, it reached out, just haven't 2886 02:17:15,160 --> 02:17:16,879 reached out. So yeah, I would go. 2887 02:17:16,879 --> 02:17:18,760 You got to use. You got to use every platform 2888 02:17:18,760 --> 02:17:21,520 you can in this world. There's a few people I wouldn't 2889 02:17:21,520 --> 02:17:23,040 go on with, but yeah, I'm sure what else you. 2890 02:17:24,520 --> 02:17:28,040 Got would love if. BT linked up with CP and do an 2891 02:17:28,040 --> 02:17:30,240 episode together. Could have it simulcasted on 2892 02:17:30,240 --> 02:17:33,520 both KFTV and BT's channel. Who's CPK? 2893 02:17:34,520 --> 02:17:37,040 He's CP from Knicks fan. TV. 2894 02:17:37,080 --> 02:17:40,400 I don't know if you've ever watched his channel see Peter 2895 02:17:40,400 --> 02:17:41,799 franchise. I think so. 2896 02:17:41,799 --> 02:17:42,760 Is that what you're talking about? 2897 02:17:42,920 --> 02:17:45,680 This guy, yeah, he's got a good channel. 2898 02:17:45,840 --> 02:17:47,000 He's got he's.

So I remember we had a big watch 2967 02:20:34,560 --> 02:20:37,600 party at at my at my home here. My parents came. 2968 02:20:37,600 --> 02:20:39,840 Kids were little. We had like this big Jen got 2969 02:20:39,840 --> 02:20:42,160 like a bear cake. You know, we had like this Big 2970 02:20:42,160 --> 02:20:43,280 Bear theme. It was awesome. 2971 02:20:43,880 --> 02:20:48,080 And we're watching it and the the next day the ratings come 2972 02:20:48,080 --> 02:20:48,760 out. We did well. 2973 02:20:49,280 --> 02:20:52,760 We either tied or beat Tucker Carlson from Fox. 2974 02:20:52,760 --> 02:20:55,640 Now, whether you love yeah, whether you love Tucker or hate 2975 02:20:55,640 --> 02:20:59,320 Tucker, Tucker was a ratings machine at the really was the 2976 02:20:59,480 --> 02:21:02,000 monster, right? And we may have even been a slot 2977 02:21:02,000 --> 02:21:04,720 higher, right? Or I forget exactly, but we got 2978 02:21:04,720 --> 02:21:07,200 the ratings and the executives were thrilled, right? 2979 02:21:08,280 --> 02:21:13,640 And then, if I recollect correctly, the impeachment 2980 02:21:13,640 --> 02:21:15,760 proceedings with Trump. With Trump. 2981 02:21:15,760 --> 02:21:20,480 With Trump took off. With Trump took off right? 2982 02:21:21,000 --> 02:21:22,480 And now? Think about it. 2983 02:21:22,480 --> 02:21:25,040 Instead of watching some Mindless Bear try to RIP people 2984 02:21:25,040 --> 02:21:27,880 in half, people are going to pay attention to what's going on in 2985 02:21:27,880 --> 02:21:28,600 the world. Of course. 2986 02:21:28,640 --> 02:21:30,400 Yeah. And then Week 2 we went from a 2987 02:21:30,440 --> 02:21:32,240 really high poll. Our. 2988 02:21:32,240 --> 02:21:37,080 First show to five stop 5. You know 5. 2989 02:21:37,080 --> 02:21:40,840 Slots lower, Sure, a little. Lower, a little lower. 2990 02:21:41,000 --> 02:21:44,840 And then the network execs were like, you know what, We're going 2991 02:21:44,840 --> 02:21:46,480 to I think maybe say it was on a Wednesday night. 2992 02:21:46,480 --> 02:21:48,160 I don't think it was. I think it, but say it was on a 2993 02:21:48,160 --> 02:21:50,240 Wednesday. Hey, we're going to put it on 2994 02:21:50,240 --> 02:21:52,840 Saturday now. Once you start changing days 2995 02:21:52,840 --> 02:21:56,480 around, it's over. Oh yeah, I mean that I've never 2996 02:21:56,480 --> 02:21:57,280 done a show like. That. 2997 02:21:57,280 --> 02:21:59,440 So I'm like, oh, maybe Saturday would be better, I'm thinking. 2998 02:21:59,440 --> 02:22:01,880 It's going to be good, but you're basically buried it 2999 02:22:01,880 --> 02:22:03,680 saying it ain't working. I don't. 3000 02:22:03,680 --> 02:22:06,080 I don't know and I'll never know the answer to it, but. 3001 02:22:06,400 --> 02:22:08,120 If it would have. Made it like if Trump doesn't 3002 02:22:08,120 --> 02:22:09,920 get in Pete's and the proceedings aren't taking away 3003 02:22:09,920 --> 02:22:12,080 everybody's attention on a night which is more important than a 3004 02:22:12,080 --> 02:22:15,320 bear show, I get it. It wasn't diverting eyeballs to 3005 02:22:15,360 --> 02:22:17,480 other channels and more important things in the world. 3006 02:22:17,800 --> 02:22:20,040 You know, maybe a boy would have a few more bucks in the account 3007 02:22:20,040 --> 02:22:22,720 because season 2 would have come and that's where you make money. 3008 02:22:22,960 --> 02:22:24,480 Like that's where you make real money. 3009 02:22:24,640 --> 02:22:27,400 So we'll never know. We'll never know. 3010 02:22:28,240 --> 02:22:30,320 Interesting. Well, I'm checking it out then. 3011 02:22:30,320 --> 02:22:32,160 All right, man.

I'm not going to Aaron Judge. 3097 02:25:58,680 --> 02:26:01,240 Says, though, WBC has become baseball. 3098 02:26:01,240 --> 02:26:06,440 'S biggest stage speaking after the seven to two or set after a 3099 02:26:06,440 --> 02:26:08,640 2 to 1 semi final win. Over the Dominican. 3100 02:26:08,640 --> 02:26:12,640 Republic the passion these fans have representing their country 3101 02:26:12,640 --> 02:26:15,280 all right, this is a little different representing some of 3102 02:26:15,280 --> 02:26:19,240 their players there's nothing like it let me see though that's 3103 02:26:19,240 --> 02:26:21,920 different way that he's saying listen, here's the only thing 3104 02:26:21,920 --> 02:26:23,080 that would bother me and I know he. 3105 02:26:23,080 --> 02:26:24,680 Wouldn't say this, Baron Judge said. 3106 02:26:24,840 --> 02:26:27,760 Winning the WBC is more important than winning the World 3107 02:26:27,760 --> 02:26:29,920 Series. I would absolutely destroy 3108 02:26:30,240 --> 02:26:32,080 Aaron. I would destroy Aaron Judge. 3109 02:26:32,280 --> 02:26:35,320 There's no way he remotely implying that AP was time to 3110 02:26:35,320 --> 02:26:37,040 reach in. You think? 3111 02:26:37,600 --> 02:26:38,800 Oh, let me. Get clicks here. 3112 02:26:38,840 --> 02:26:40,640 Come on. There's no way, Aaron Judge. 3113 02:26:40,640 --> 02:26:44,000 Is going to say that he better not say that No, no way. 3114 02:26:44,560 --> 02:26:47,680 I mean, he's talking about the the pageantry and the, you know, 3115 02:26:47,680 --> 02:26:49,760 the pride in your country and the energy. 3116 02:26:49,760 --> 02:26:51,640 And there is more energy in the WBC. 3117 02:26:51,840 --> 02:26:54,840 As nutty as Yankee Stadium is, you know, the last World Series, 3118 02:26:54,840 --> 02:26:58,000 Yankees, Dodgers, it's crazier. I mean, come on, it's more 3119 02:26:58,000 --> 02:26:58,920 frenetic. It's different. 3120 02:26:58,920 --> 02:27:01,920 It's like a soccer. OK, He did say no. 3121 02:27:02,040 --> 02:27:03,120 I take it back. I. 3122 02:27:03,120 --> 02:27:06,920 Take it the World Series. I was in the crowd here. 3123 02:27:06,920 --> 02:27:09,320 The crowd we had. When we played against Mexico, 3124 02:27:09,360 --> 02:27:12,240 it's bigger and better than the World Series. 3125 02:27:12,360 --> 02:27:14,280 That's not what that doesn't bother me though. 3126 02:27:14,400 --> 02:27:17,400 Different, different, different. That's why I said let's get 3127 02:27:17,400 --> 02:27:19,080 some. Research before we start taking. 3128 02:27:19,400 --> 02:27:21,960 Taking down #99 and there's no reason to do that. 3129 02:27:22,840 --> 02:27:24,680 That's his opinion. He's the one who's playing in 3130 02:27:24,680 --> 02:27:25,760 it. He's the one who feels it. 3131 02:27:25,760 --> 02:27:30,000 I got no problem with it now. I might read some other stuff 3132 02:27:30,000 --> 02:27:32,520 later on which might have a little bit of a problem 3133 02:27:32,520 --> 02:27:35,920 tomorrow, but we're. So if that's the case, we shall 3134 02:27:35,920 --> 02:27:37,520 see.
