1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,720
This is on leash Are you 
listening? 

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,640
Can you hear me? 
Hear me? 

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,240
This is on leash. 
Are you listening? 

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:09,160
Can you hear me? 
Hear me? 

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:10,720
This is on leash. 
Are you listening? 

6
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:11,640
Can you hear me? 
Hear me. 

7
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,240
This is on leash Are you 
listening? 

8
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:14,480
Can you hear me? 
This is on leash Are you 

9
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:15,920
listening? 
Can you hear? 

10
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,800
Me. 
There's no way that you guys 

11
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,240
thought that this was going to 
be easy. 

12
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:23,040
Did you? 
I mean, if you want to win a 

13
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,360
championship, you're going to go
through some some situations 

14
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,680
that are going to challenge you,
whether it's physically, whether

15
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,160
it's mentally. 
So mixed win again obviously 

16
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:35,400
dampened by the injury to OG and
Anobi. 

17
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,960
We'll get to it all. 
What's going on everybody 

18
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:38,800
welcome to another edition of BT
Unleashed. 

19
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:42,640
J Rod is on alert. 
Obviously there will be some 

20
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,000
imaging for yeah, there will be 
some imaging I would imagine 

21
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,080
this morning for for OG and 
Anobi and whatever we get some 

22
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,120
some news there. 
We'll get it to you Interesting 

23
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:54,240
game last night. 
Let's jump right into it. 

24
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,600
Of course, today's show was 
always brought to you by my 

25
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,120
friends at Sullivan Propane. 
Of course, find 

26

That's trialo1.com. 

27
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,920
Remember the name Sullivan 
Propane and buy premium sausage,

28
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,600
Premium sausage the way sausage 
should be.

Find them at premiumfoods.com or
in your local grocery store. 

30
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,720
All right, little housekeeping. 
First of all, later on today 

31
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,040
episode #7 coming up on YouTube,
there it is, The Jets Collective

32
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:25,000
where we're really unpack it. 
Really, we're going to get to 

33
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,040
the Russell Wilson stuff, which 
looks like it might happen. 

34
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:32,240
And and of course, you know, you
know, connecting the dots on on 

35
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,520
the draft. 
We pretty much did that last 

36
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,320
episode, but we'll, you know, 
we'll finish that up. 

37
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,640
And, you know, Frank Reich 
spoke, the new DC spoke. 

38
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,160
So there's a lot of stuff going 
on with The Jets. 

39
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,840
Can't wait. 
That's coming up a little later 

40
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,960
today live. 
And it's going to be, you know, 

41
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
usually it's it's in at least an
hour. 

42
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,400
So that will be at 2:30 Eastern 
on YouTube today, The Jets 

43
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,280
Collective with myself and Jake 
and Rich Simiti. 

44
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,880
All right, some other notes real
quick. 

45
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Next week, I don't know what day
yet, we will have tiki on the 

46
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,320
show. 
And I don't know what day yet, 

47
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,400
nor do I know what time we will 
have Aaron Boone on the show. 

48
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,199
All right, so things are 
starting to cook there. 

49
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,920
And by the way, you know, 
yesterday, for those of you who 

50
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:18,480
are familiar with how you know 
YouTube works, you know what, 

51
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,520
when you have a YouTube show, 
there's you have this, this this

52
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,920
entire analytical page, right? 
Whether it's monetization, you 

53
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:30,440
know, viewers, obviously all the
different trends, what worked, 

54
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,120
what didn't, what's up, what's 
down, what was shared more by 

55
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,480
the algorithm. 
Yesterday for the channel was 

56
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,280
our second highest day in the 
history of BT unleashed #2 

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,640
almost 60,000 views in one day. 
Now I know there's going to be a

58
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:48,280
point where I'm going to look 
back and say, Gee, 60,000 days 

59
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,920
was 60,000 views was a bad day, 
but not at that point yet. 

60
00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,120
So it's not, you know, not me 
taking a bow. 

61
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,960
It's me acknowledging that #1 
Joe was great and #2 you guys 

62
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:02,200
loved it and you fed into the 
content. 

63
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,160
And I really could tell that you
guys are digging these 

64
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,760
conversations. 
I told you that's something that

65
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,840
I really am am focused on doing 
as I grow this thing out. 

66
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,840
What am I really, if I think 
about it, my two favorite 

67
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,840
aspects, J Rod of of doing this,
whether it's on the air at the 

68
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,880
fan or nationally or at 10:50 
back in the day or in Detroit or

69
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,960
in San Francisco, doing at the 
new drive, the two things that 

70
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,280
have always jumped out to me 
that I've enjoyed the most. 

71
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,800
I mean, maybe I could throw a 
third like the monologues always

72
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,720
fun. 
They come out and you just go 

73
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,120
bonkers. 
Like that's a given, right? 

74
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,040
When there's something to go 
bonkers about. 

75
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,760
I've always loved the 
interaction, which is why us 

76
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,320
taking calls was so important 
for the which has also led to a 

77
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,760
day-to-day growth, which is very
easy to document. 

78
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,320
I see it all the time. 
I mean when we first launched 

79
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,600
because we don't do anything on 
Saturdays or Sundays. 

80
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,280
I'll be totally honest with you 
guys, there were, you know, the 

81
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,720
first month or two because we 
weren't going on over the 

82
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,360
weekend, 5000 views, 7 on on 
Saturday and Sunday. 

83
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,440
Now, you know, people that just 
started to jump into the channel

84
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,040
just to check things out and 
catch up. 

85
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,440
You know, we're getting 2225 
thousand views on a Saturday and

86
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,520
a Sunday when we're not doing 
anything. 

87
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,720
So there we go. 
I, I love that, that that really

88
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,680
does speak to, to, to what we're
doing here. 

89
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,560
So the monologue's the best. 
I love the callers. 

90
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,600
And that has brought a different
energy at a different spark. 

91
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:26,960
And I told you we were going to 
do it and we're doing it. 

92
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,360
And you guys have been great. 
And we'll get to the calls early

93
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,880
about the Knicks. 
I'm going to get into Rossini 

94
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,760
and Vrabel as well. 
Another twist. 

95
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,080
And he, he, he can't get, he 
can't coach that team anymore. 

96
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,440
I'll get to that later on, 
right? 

97
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,920
But the other thing that I've 
always enjoyed and I've always 

98
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,960
taken great pride is, is 
interviews. 

99
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,680
I know, I call them 
conversations. 

100
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,840
You know, back in the day, they 
were interviews, so to speak, 

101
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,640
but in more of a long format 
with no boundaries and no 

102
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,600
barriers. 
And you can really go wherever 

103
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,200
you want as long as you want 
with your subject. 

104
00:04:58,240 --> 00:04:59,840
It is it is really open things 
up. 

105
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:02,160
And I and I, I think that you 
guys are starting to see that 

106
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,560
side of the channel. 
And I think you're really, I 

107
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,400
just tell by the comments that, 
you know, when I have Michael 

108
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,720
on, when I had Steven on, when I
had Joe on, when I Don on, we'll

109
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,280
have Tiki on next week, we'll 
have Boonie on next week. 

110
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,280
It's just it's a different look 
and and I love it. 

111
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:22,440
And I thought Joe was great. 
Like if you guys missed the Joe 

112
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,760
Beningo Jay, we had him on for 
about an hour and 45 minutes, 

113
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:26,800
right? 
Almost two hours. 

114
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:27,640
Almost. 
Two. 

115
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,040
Yeah, he could have kept going. 
I know like I was almost feeling

116
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,160
badly at the end. 
I'm like, one more thing, Joe, I

117
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,400
don't want to he's like, Nah, 
bro, for you. 

118
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,240
I got you. 
I really think he would have 

119
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,240
done 3 hours, but I'll leave 
this before I get into the 

120
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,320
Knicks stuff. 
It was it was a combination of 

121
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,560
the expected stuff, Joe shitting
all the Mets, Joe very 

122
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,360
uncharacteristically 
enthusiastic about The Jets, Joe

123
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,640
very hopeful about the Knicks. 
But then, I mean, he weaved in 

124
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,160
stories about him tripping on 
acid in Chicago, lighting up 

125
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,720
dubes on the golf course, why 
his first marriage failed. 

126
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,360
I mean, it was just music. 
We went deep into music, some 

127
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:12,480
concerts, really just 
outstanding stuff by Joe. 

128
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,040
So shout out to Joe. 
Thank you for time, Joe. 

129
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,680
And I don't know if you guys 
caught the picture last night of

130
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,240
Joe happy Joe with him and Terry
in their Knicks gear. 

131
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,880
I think Joe was wearing a jersey
and I think she may have been 

132
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,400
wearing a jersey as well. 
So I'm pretty sure it was a good

133
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,760
night at the Beningo household. 
And really it was a good night 

134
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,760
in every household if you're a 
Knicks fan to an extent. 

135
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,360
Until the final two minutes of 
the game here. 

136
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,120
Now, I don't know what's going 
on with OG. 

137
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,000
Listen, I obviously think that 
it's a hamstring and he and he's

138
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,080
had hamstring issues before. 
And the one thing that's very 

139
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,640
problematic with this, number 
one, he's just been so good and 

140
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,000
he's so important to what they 
do, but he's not a quick healer 

141
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,360
and he's had soft tissue 
injuries before. 

142
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,560
So you got to hold your breath 
and they're going to stuff him 

143
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,520
in the MRI tube today. 
I, I would imagine it's going to

144
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,200
be, you know, it's going to be a
hamstring strain. 

145
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560
I, I don't think it's the worst.
I don't think it's a grade 3. 

146
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,120
I'd be surprised if it's a grade
2. 

147
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,000
I think it's probably a grade 
one. 

148
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,160
If I had to guess, and I'm not 
trying to be irresponsible. 

149
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,480
If I had to guess, it's, there's
no way it's a complete rupture 

150
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,080
of the, of the tendon like that.
They just, it didn't look that 

151
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:20,800
way, but it just complicates #1 
what the Knicks going to try to 

152
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,280
do. 
Because first of all, he's been 

153
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,640
so great. 
And you know, last night and the

154
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,640
Knicks offense was very 
different last night. 

155
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,600
And the Sixers played hard and 
the Sixers played with purpose 

156
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,320
and they played very differently
without Joel and B. 

157
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,920
But think about. 
And even though Cat had the 

158
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,880
early fouls, Cat still had 7 
assists. 

159
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,400
Think about how many of of of 
Carl Anthony town's assist have 

160
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:46,240
been to, you know, bridges as 
well, but OG just roaming the 

161
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,160
baseline, cutting free for dunks
and, you know, or or cat, you 

162
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,760
know, driving and kicking to the
corner and OG splashing triples.

163
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,520
Like if he's out for a while, 
it's going to really complicate 

164
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,720
with the Knicks to try to do. 
But guys, this, this was never 

165
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,520
going to be. 
It's just not. 

166
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,920
I mean, and it's #1 it just 
doesn't happen like this for 

167
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,640
anybody in the NBA. 
Maybe the Warriors a little bit 

168
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,160
back during their dynastic run 
when when you had Steph and Clay

169
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:12,840
and Draymond and Kevin Durant 
and all those guys. 

170
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,480
But this was never going to be 
the Knicks win every single game

171
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,120
by 25 points. 
I mean, you're going to get 

172
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:23,360
faced with either physical or 
emotional or referee adversity, 

173
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,200
foul issues with which ties into
the referee adversity, you know,

174
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,800
travel adversity, logistical 
issues, whatever it might be. 

175
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,640
There's going to be something 
that pops up where you've got to

176
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,640
respond to it. 
And we have now seen a couple of

177
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,440
situations where the Knicks have
already done that because they 

178
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,840
won game one against the Hawks, 
then they lost game two, then 

179
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,280
they lost Game 3, and then they 
just went on a run where they 

180
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,600
absolutely obliterated them. 
And they had three straight 

181
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,760
playoff wins of 25 points or 
more, which has never happened 

182
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,480
before in the NBA history, 
right? 

183
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,840
And then last time was a totally
different game. 

184
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,760
I mean, last night, you know, 
it's funny too, because my son 

185
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,480
had a game last night and last 
night was a real challenge for 

186
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,120
me. 
Like the other night. 

187
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,040
I guess it would have been, 
yeah, game one. 

188
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,600
I didn't go to their games, 
which I never do. 

189
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,520
I never miss. 
But I'm like, I I got to lock 

190
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,680
into the Knicks now last night 
my wife had something. 

191
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:21,280
My daughter was with him. 
I had to take him to the game. 

192
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,160
I had to. 
I mean, I love watching the 

193
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:24,320
game. 
It's like, it's like you're 

194
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,720
pulling teeth to to maybe go 
watch a youth baseball game. 

195
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,200
But man, I mean, I was really 
trying to not check my phone and

196
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,000
and I didn't and I don't coach 
this team. 

197
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,800
So I'm at the stands and I'm I'm
down the left field line pretty 

198
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,880
much by myself, spitting seeds, 
watching the game. 

199
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,040
Say hi to a few people, then 
just go and, you know, isolate 

200
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,440
myself because I don't want 
anybody telling me about the 

201
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,040
Knicks game. 
And then what am I? 

202
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,840
This is a rec game. 
One of my son's teammates who I 

203
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,600
coach the travel team as well. 
They're on the same rec team. 

204
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,880
And his dad's great and the kids
awesome. 

205
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,880
And his dad's a big Knick fan. 
So I went over to say hi to him 

206
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,760
and he's watching the Knicks all
the tube and I'm like, I'm 

207
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:03,800
recording it. 
How we doing? 

208
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,680
He's like, yeah, we're down 7. 
I'm like down 7 and he's like, 

209
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:09,920
yeah, Cat got a couple of fouls.
Like this was the kind of game 

210
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,000
to me that showed showed some 
character, which I love. 

211
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,640
Again, I think how you deal with
the adversity. 

212
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,000
There were a lot of lead 
changes. 

213
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,800
There were a lot of ties. 
It was nip and tuck. 

214
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,440
Knicks had to make big buckets. 
Knick had Knicks had to make big

215
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,960
stops. 
Now the Knicks did get a little 

216
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,920
lucky watching that game. 
Now. 

217
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,640
I was also watching it later 
than you because I got back and 

218
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,360
I rewound it tip to buzzer. 
But I mean, the Sixers had at 

219
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,720
least four and I think there was
a maybe a fifth wide open look 

220
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,360
from the middle of the fourth 
quarter basically to the end. 

221
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,160
And they missed. 
They missed almost every single 

222
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,640
one. 
And I thought the Knicks 

223
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,840
rotations were a little bit out 
of whack there. 

224
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,280
And they got, I won't say they 
got bailed out, but you know, 

225
00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:53,800
those are shots that Philly's 
going to hit. 

226
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,280
Now think about how different 
Philly looks without Joel 

227
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,880
Embiid. 
And and I think it's and I think

228
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,320
most of you probably agree with 
this. 

229
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,000
I want him to play the next game
because then you just attack him

230
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,760
defensively and I think the 
Sixers pace becomes slower. 

231
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,400
And then if he's dropping down, 
which he's got to because he 

232
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,880
can't move his feet the way, you
know, the way you need to if 

233
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,640
you're going to rotate and and 
you know, slide with the pick 

234
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,560
and roll. 
I mean the Knicks, I think it's 

235
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:20,240
just going to abuse him. 
Now, that doesn't mean he can't 

236
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,840
come out and drop 30 and do some
damage offensively Friday night.

237
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,480
You would have to imagine he's 
playing and with or without OG 

238
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,080
at this point, I'm going to 
think that it's without at least

239
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,560
Friday night. 
I would. 

240
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:34,480
I would still think that it's a 
good advantage for the Knicks 

241
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:39,160
and the fact that the Knicks are
up to, you know, you know, that 

242
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,600
that building is going to be at 
least I don't know, Jay, Ron, 

243
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,440
let me, let me let you take a 
stab at this. 

244
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,680
The building holds 21,000 
people. 

245
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,560
It's one of the bigger NBA 
venues. 

246
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:51,680
How many Knicks fans you think 
are in there Thursday? 

247
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:53,560
54%. 
You think so? 

248
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:54,680
You think it's going to be 
right. 

249
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,440
A little more than right. 
11:00-ish. 

250
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,760
Right now 11,000 like 11,500 
ish. 

251
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,680
I think we're seeing a big 
Knicks. 

252
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,120
Well, I just, I think especially
just now that the Sixers have 

253
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,240
kind of lost a little juice in 
the series. 

254
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,640
Also, I was looking at the 
tickets. 

255
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,240
They weren't even that bad. 
I mean, it was like. 

256
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,240
It's not like the guard. 
Nothing. 

257
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,320
'S like it was like 250. 
I was like, really? 

258
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,960
Yeah. 
I was like, listen, I'm not 

259
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,920
going to go out there and do it,
but I could be convinced. 

260
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:24,080
And and so I think there's going
to be a big Knicks conglomerate 

261
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,960
at this game. 
I think they're going to take 

262
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,320
over. 
And yeah, you're right. 

263
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,040
If Embiid plays, the Sixers are 
going to be hobbled. 

264
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,280
They're going to be a much 
slower pace. 

265
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,560
I think Cat will be able to, you
know, take take care of him 

266
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:39,080
because last night the Sixers 
looked a lot tougher, a lot 

267
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,280
faster, a lot better 
defensively. 

268
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,640
They did, you know. 
And listen, Cats on a great run,

269
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,600
I'm not going to just, you know,
flip immediately and start 

270
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,680
crushing him. 
You know, the fouls we can't 

271
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:50,560
have that resurface here. 
It's it's an issue in this 

272
00:12:50,560 --> 00:12:51,880
series. 
Now he's played great. 

273
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,320
He was had 7 assists last night 
and I mean he played 20 

274
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,280
something minutes. 
So, and I think he only played 

275
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,640
10 minutes in the first quarter 
and first half And back to the 

276
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,960
the thought about Embiid and the
Sixers and the pace and how they

277
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,880
look when he's out there versus 
how they look when he's not. 

278
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,720
They had not had back-to-back 
off day since April 22nd, April 

279
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,960
23rd. 
That's a long run, man. 

280
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,200
And I mean, it's obviously 
adversely impacting him. 

281
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,720
You kind of got to feel for them
scheduling wise, like they're 

282
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,440
kind of the team and they're the
team who needed this the least 

283
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:28,440
and kind of gotten hit hard by 
like the one day in between the 

284
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,520
playoffs I. 
Agree the most, Yeah. 

285
00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:33,480
And by the way, you know, I laid
out the schedule on on Monday, 

286
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,280
the there will be two days off 
between Game 7 and game six. 

287
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,440
If there is a game six, if there
is a Game 7, which I don't think

288
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,920
that there will be, but you 
know, I mean, series can shift 

289
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,480
on a dime. 
It's one thing to be confident 

290
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,320
for sure. 
Knick fan should be confident. 

291
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,720
I think it's one thing to be 
recklessly arrogant like, you 

292
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,480
know, it it it's very 
conceivable that the Knicks lose

293
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,320
game game three very 
conceivable. 

294
00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,240
And I'm very curious what the 
spread is. 

295
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,760
Game one, Knicks were laying 6 
1/2. 

296
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,360
Game 2, I don't know if it went 
up to 8, but it went up from 6 

297
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,760
1/2 to 7 1/2. 
I would imagine, you know, 

298
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,880
again, OG status, Joel Embiid 
status desperation. 

299
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,640
Now you start getting some 
friendly whistles that you know,

300
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,600
down O2. 
We all know this. 

301
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,640
We've seen this forever. 
The NBA tries to stretch out the

302
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:25,200
series to maximize the revenue. 
The ad like the ad dollar, like 

303
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,360
that's a real thing. 
Anybody who thinks that that's 

304
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,160
not real. 
I, I, you just haven't been 

305
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,880
watching the in the NBA for the 
last 30 years. 

306
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,840
It happens all the time. 
That doesn't mean you can't 

307
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,000
overcome it, but I think Philly 
will have a very friendly 

308
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,280
whistle. 
And you know, if the Knicks are 

309
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,640
to lose game three now you've 
got probably fewer Knick fans in

310
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,960
the building for game four. 
Sixer fans feeling emboldened, 

311
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:48,040
the Sixer players feeling pretty
good. 

312
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,320
They got a little juice and 
depending upon the status of OG,

313
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,000
well, that could, that could 
obviously ship the, the 

314
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,720
narrative here. 
But right now, awesome win 

315
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,280
because it was a different kind 
of a win. 

316
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,520
It was a character win. 
Don't don't get me wrong. 

317
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:04,600
I mean, when you beat teams by 
25 or 51, you're flashing an 

318
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,880
immense amount of character 
because you are snatching their 

319
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,640
soul. 
But when you're down 7 nip and 

320
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,800
tuck, what are your stars has a 
couple of fouls again, your 

321
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,360
backup center is out. 
Like there were some good 

322
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,760
adjustments. 
And then when you saw you know, 

323
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,640
and and this is this is an issue
and you can't really do this as 

324
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,280
much within beat, obviously. 
But when when they were throwing

325
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,600
the two defenders at Brunson, 
Nixon handle that well. 

326
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,720
So you know, but you know, they 
eventually adjusted from that. 

327
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,520
Brunson made some big shots like
he always does. 

328
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,800
Bridges was phenomenal. 
And here we go Nicks up to zip. 

329
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,320
All right, let's get the chats 
going here. 

330
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,080
Gangrene David, thank you for 
that. 

331
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,320
I appreciate it, ma'am. 
I think OG is fine. 

332
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,960
I went back at a doctor Green 
gangrene. 

333
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,800
David, please report to surgery.
I went back and I watched it and

334
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,440
it looked like his thought yeah,
yes. 

335
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,520
I thought maybe a little bone 
bruise or whatever, but I think 

336
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,720
it is the hamstring. 
I had a similar thought like his

337
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,440
thigh banged into Maxi's knee 
and it flared up when he started

338
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,080
running injury two years ago was
definitely worth. 

339
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,800
No, I agree with that. 
You can just tell the optics of 

340
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,520
an injury. 
Sometimes they are misleading. 

341
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,680
I mean, shit, we've seen games 
where Jalen Brunson's left the 

342
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,160
court and we're like, oh God, he
just rolled his ankle again for 

343
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,640
the third 30,000 times since he 
became a Nick. 

344
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,640
And then he's in the he's in a 
locker room and then he comes 

345
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,400
out and he drops 20 points in in
a in any given half. 

346
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,280
So I don't want to go nuts with 
that. 

347
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,080
But yeah, the optics appear a 
little bit more favorable than 

348
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,840
certainly a couple of years ago 
when he shredded his hamstring 

349
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,960
against the Pacers. 
But he's not a quick healer. 

350
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:40,400
I will now like when you have 
soft Mr. is for soft tissue. 

351
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,320
If it's a potential bone bruise,
you could would that be more of 

352
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,320
an X-ray? 
No, you'd still get the 

353
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,280
swelling. 
Like the you know, if you have 

354
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,280
to think about this, if you, if 
you thought you broke your 

355
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,880
finger, you're getting an X-ray.
X-rays are for skeletal matters.

356
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,040
And the Mr. is are for soft 
tissue stuff, ligaments, tendon.

357
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,760
So I think that they think 
strongly that it's the hamstring

358
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,680
because you know everybody who's
reporting. 

359
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,319
I saw Wendy this morning on get 
up. 

360
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,920
I think shams had some stuff as 
well. 

361
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,160
You know, I don't I don't think 
that they stuff you want an MRI 

362
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,800
to but unless it's 
precautionary, if you think it's

363
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:20,480
a bone bruise, but we we'll see.
All right, so you got to have 

364
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,240
this guy right and you don't 
necessarily need him right for 

365
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,520
game three, but you need him 
right to win a championship. 

366
00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:30,200
You just I was going to say the 
Knicks came out. 

367
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,720
I've done that already, so I 
don't even want to do it. 

368
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,920
But honestly, my opinion, my 
gut, you know, if if he's just 

369
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,000
if he's not around for a couple 
of weeks and I don't anticipate 

370
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,120
that, but if he's not, I don't 
know how the Knicks do what we 

371
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:47,400
all want them to do. 
I mean, think about this guy's 

372
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,560
his in the eight games for the 
playoffs here, OG out and Obi is

373
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,480
averaging 21 points a game 
shooting 62% overall. 

374
00:17:55,720 --> 00:18:00,440
He's shooting 54% from three, 
eight rebounds, 2 steals and 

375
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,880
great defense. 
I mean, think about this and you

376
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:06,760
go back to the that would have 
been 1234. 

377
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,640
Yeah. 
Going back to the Hawks series 

378
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,960
in sequence, 29 points, 9 
rebounds, 22 points, 10 

379
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,640
rebounds, 17 points, 10 
rebounds, 18 points, 3 rebounds,

380
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,720
24 points, 5 rebounds. 
I mean, anybody can spit numbers

381
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,640
in you. 
I I get that. 

382
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,640
But what those numbers mean is 
that, you know, from a spacing 

383
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,240
point of view and the entire 
league respects OG on Anobi. 

384
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,720
They know he's tough. 
They know he's a good defender. 

385
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,200
They know he's one of the most 
efficient quarter 3 point 

386
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,400
shooters in in the NBA and 
Bridges is pretty good at that 

387
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,480
as well. 
So but when he's really 

388
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,880
clicking, when he's really 
flowing and he's banging threes 

389
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,480
and he's getting downhill, he's 
great in transition, gets a lot 

390
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,600
of breakaway dunks, gets a lot 
of dunks in general. 

391
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,080
Well, now you get him on the 
cut, on the baseline. 

392
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,480
The movement's different. 
You can't attack Brunson the way

393
00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:00,000
you wanted to or the way you'll 
be able to if OG's not in there.

394
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,560
And listen, if Shabbat's got to 
play 20 something minutes on 

395
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,240
Friday, I think the Knicks can 
still find a way to win that 

396
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,600
game. 
You've got to attack and beat if

397
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,560
MB plays, which I think he will,
But you know you're not going to

398
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,800
win a championship if Shabbat's 
out there, you know, for the 

399
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,480
next month and OG is not. 
So you got to hold your breath 

400
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,720
and you got to hope that he's 
good. 

401
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,880
And I do think last night is the
kind of game that's necessary, 

402
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,760
though. 
Like I, I really do, you know, 

403
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,160
again, you, you just not going 
to show up and thump everybody 

404
00:19:27,360 --> 00:19:32,760
into oblivion. 25 lead changes, 
14 ties, neither team led by 

405
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,320
more than 7 points. 
So it really could have gone 

406
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,800
either way. 
And and the Knicks, what did the

407
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,160
Knicks hold them to 12:00 fourth
quarter points? 

408
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,800
Like that's where that's where 
you're going to stamp a season, 

409
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:47,240
All right? 
You know, our big guys in foul 

410
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,360
trouble, our backup centers not 
playing, you know, Josh Hart who

411
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:54,720
did hit a big three. 
Josh Hart's not playing well. 

412
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,000
Brunson was not as efficient as 
he's been recently. 

413
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,280
Like the Knicks played fine. 
They didn't play great. 

414
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,760
You know, I, I think they were 
even out rebounded by a couple. 

415
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,280
If I, if I had I think by three 
or four or whatever it was 

416
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,800
couple of turnovers, couple of 
easy misses. 

417
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,760
I thought their rotations were 
tick off. 

418
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,600
That's why Philly had those open
looks which they missed. 

419
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,680
So when I say this could have 
gone either way, we all know it 

420
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,200
could have gone either way, but 
it didn't. 

421
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,000
And that's what, you know, 
possible championship teams. 

422
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,320
They figure this stuff out. 
They figure it out when you're 

423
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,280
dealt the curveball in the game,
you know, fouls an injury, 

424
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,640
although the injury was late, 
clearly, but up to zip. 

425
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,160
Eastern Conference semis, 
obvious homecourt advantage, 

426
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,440
Nick fans getting ready to flock
down to Philly and take over the

427
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,640
joint, bro winning streak. 
LFGM. 

428
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,840
Yeah, the Metsis. 
Metsis starting to wake up a 

429
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:47,880
little bit here. 
A little bit. 

430
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,560
You and Joe were awesome. 
Yes, I appreciate that. 

431
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:51,760
The blind beard. 
Thank you, man. 

432
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:55,680
Yeah, I mean, listen, when I 
have these these conversations, 

433
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,400
you know, I, I will, I will jot 
down a couple of things that I 

434
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,520
know that I want to get to. 
And it's really easy with Joe. 

435
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,360
I mean, I know I got to get him 
riled up about Stearns and 

436
00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:08,840
Cohen, although I didn't think 
he was going to be as hard on 

437
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,160
Cohen as he was. 
That surprised me a bit and I 

438
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,360
pushed back a little bit. 
I knew we'd be pumped out, 

439
00:21:14,360 --> 00:21:17,320
pumped up about the Knicks. 
I knew he because I saw some 

440
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,040
other stuff. 
I knew we liked The Jets draft. 

441
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,720
But you know, Joe is, is 
generally a little more 

442
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,280
pessimistic with The Jets and we
know why that he's that he's 

443
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,240
optimistic. 
Like I generally slant a little 

444
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,960
more optimistically. 
He's usually the other way. 

445
00:21:30,360 --> 00:21:33,880
But the other stuff like, you 
know, I knew I was going to get 

446
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,120
into him, you know, lighten one 
up on the golf course because 

447
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,240
I've seen him do it. 
I played golf with him, you 

448
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:42,640
know, and then the I mean the 
acid story was just just 

449
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,040
absolutely bonkers, man. 
Can you imagine Joe? 

450
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,920
But now we've all listened to 
Joe our entire life, basically 

451
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:55,200
since I was AI was still in my 
teens, you know, when when Joe 

452
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,040
first cracked through. 
And I remember when, and I was 

453
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,320
younger than that, when I 
remember hearing Joe from Saddle

454
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:04,800
River call Mike and Chris right.
And to, to have the, the 

455
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,360
distinct voice and all the rants
and all the hit pieces and all 

456
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:12,400
the Bros and all the, all the 
loves and all, the, all the, you

457
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,280
know, the, the phrases and the 
mantras that Joe lives by. 

458
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,880
To hear Joe tell the story about
dropping acid in Chicago with 

459
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,480
his first wife. 
And then, you know, basically 

460
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,200
as, as he put it, handling 
business, you know, when they 

461
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,640
were in the room and then 
basically losing his mind 

462
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,120
because he couldn't sleep. 
I mean, it's, it's just all time

463
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:35,200
stuff. 
I mean, he was phenomenal, man. 

464
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,320
He was just absolutely great. 
So and then, you know, he said 

465
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,120
something too. 
And you guys have to check this 

466
00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:42,520
out if you missed it. 
He said something and I never 

467
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,960
really looked at it this way, 
but I think he's right. 

468
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,560
You know, we talk about FAN, we 
talk about he's talking about 

469
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,280
Sid as a partner. 
Shout out to Sid. 

470
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,040
Sid actually texted me 
yesterday. 

471
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,520
He I guess a lot of people 
checked in with Sid and said BT 

472
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,720
and Joe, we're talking about, 
you know, saying good things on 

473
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,320
the show. 
So Sid hit me up and, and how 

474
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,480
different Sid was from Evan as a
partner, you know, all that 

475
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,160
stuff. 
And yeah, obviously talking 

476
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,040
about Mike and Chris and some of
the dynamics of the fan is as 

477
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,160
the greatest sports radio 
station, the history of sports 

478
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,480
radio stations. 
And you know, he said that he 

479
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:22,800
thought that that Russo Mad Dog 
Saturday show was the best show 

480
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,960
in the history of the fan. 
And I don't know anybody that 

481
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,520
really I've never really heard 
anybody say that. 

482
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,920
And when he said it, I'm like, 
wow. 

483
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,440
I'm like, I would have never 
even thought that because the 

484
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,480
dynamic with Mike and Chris was 
just so all time rare and so 

485
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,280
special that you almost kind of 
gloss over Mad Dog doing those 

486
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,000
Saturday shows. 
But I used to love listening to 

487
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,200
Mad Dog because you know, and 
usually it was in the car going 

488
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,560
to play. 
Well, usually I'd get near early

489
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,360
go 'cause I'd have a lot of 
early tee times, you know, pre 

490
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:58,600
marriage, way before kids, you 
know, 20s, early 30s, living in 

491
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,640
Manhattan, driving over the GW 
Bridge, going out to play New 

492
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,720
York Country Club, which is 
where I used to play quite a bit

493
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:05,920
back then. 
And I'd get near, but then 

494
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,800
coming home or depending upon 
the tee time, I'd get Mad Dog. 

495
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,120
And when he said that, I'm like,
man, I'm I, I might actually 

496
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:15,080
agree with you. 
Like it was it was it was really

497
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,480
good. 
So hopefully you guys, if you 

498
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,440
didn't check it out, hopefully 
you will. 

499
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,720
Mikhail's been big a lot of 
confidence. 

500
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:26,560
Yes, in that shot right now, 26 
of his last 35. 

501
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,920
When I sent myself a note, I 
thought it was 26 out of 38. 

502
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,480
You might be not that it really 
matters. 

503
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,120
The point is he's been shooting 
the shit out of it. 

504
00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:41,640
But let's see here. 
Let's see last night, yes yeah, 

505
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:46,840
I did 26 of 38, not 26 of 35. 
I just I just like to be listen,

506
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,280
if I'm going to love my stats 
like I do, you got to be 

507
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:50,920
buttoned up with this stuff. 
Yeah. 

508
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:56,280
And and he's just his defense 
has been relentless and the way 

509
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,960
he's pull it up and right, like 
he's always had a good mid range

510
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,680
shot like, but the way he's 
looking for it and the way he's 

511
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,120
beginning to hunt it, not 
selfishly, but when it's there, 

512
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,120
like if there's a sliver of an 
opening, you know, bridges in 

513
00:25:10,120 --> 00:25:12,760
the past for a little bit as a 
nick. 

514
00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:15,120
I don't mean the other teams 
where he was, you know, he had 

515
00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:17,760
the freedom to pretty much do 
whatever he wanted with this 

516
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,000
dynamic with Brunson, with Cat, 
with OG. 

517
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,640
You know, a lot of times he's 
the fourth option, sometimes the

518
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,400
5th if he's on the court with 
heart getting downhill and you 

519
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,600
would just notice like a trace 
of hesitation. 

520
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,560
Now there's just no, there's 
none. 

521
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:35,280
It's boom, get to my spot, rise 
up, pull up and bury him. 

522
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,760
And it's just they have a 
really, really, really, really 

523
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,000
good look on this of the way 
they look right now. 

524
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,040
Jay, what do you think? 
Give me your opinion. 

525
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,000
It's a guess. 
I've given you mine in in case 

526
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,120
anybody didn't catch it. 
We're just tuned in. 

527
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,600
I don't think I think OG is 
going to miss the next two 

528
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,560
games. 
That's my that was my thought. 

529
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,040
That was my thought as. 
Well, I, I think I'm taking it 

530
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,200
day-to-day, but I don't think 
you're going to run them out. 

531
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,040
Obviously you're not going to 
run them out tomorrow game 

532
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,960
after. 
And I think you're going to, you

533
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,960
know, what day is it, you're 
going to wait Sunday's game as 

534
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,920
well. 
Make sure he's all good. 

535
00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:16,280
Especially if the Knicks win 
game three, they might not run 

536
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,000
them out for the rest of the 
series even if the Sixers win 

537
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,440
game four. 
That's true. 

538
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:21,720
I mean, here's the other thing, 
too. 

539
00:26:22,120 --> 00:26:25,160
I mean, the quicker that the 
Knicks can handle business here 

540
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,480
like they did in the previous 
series with the with the with 

541
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,920
the Celtics had to stretch 
things out. 

542
00:26:30,360 --> 00:26:32,080
You know, it's always good for 
everybody to get rest. 

543
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,040
But when you've got injuries, 
it's it's almost paramount that 

544
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:39,040
you capitalize now, if it's 11, 
I mean, if you're O2, yeah, you 

545
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,640
just you just live in a fight 
another day. 

546
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,920
If you're O2 and you just like, 
hey, we get the seven, We'll 

547
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,560
we'll get we'll happily get the 
seven. 

548
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,760
If you drop two home game shit, 
you're not you're probably not 

549
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,080
equipped to really go on a long 
run if you drop the 1st 2 at 

550
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,280
home. 
But to be up to zip and to be 

551
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,760
able to, you know, play 
different styles like that's to 

552
00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:00,080
you know, I've talked a lot 
about adaptability. 

553
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,560
That's one of my favorite terms 
to describe teams. 

554
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,920
I've, I've done, you know this, 
I've done this a lot, right? 

555
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,960
I'm not going to get. 
Into the Pat Riley example, 

556
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,760
which I've done a million times,
where he was such a different 

557
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,680
coach in terms of how the Lakers
looked stylistically, how the 

558
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,360
Knicks looked stylistically, and
even the Heat as a bit of a 

559
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:19,760
hybrid. 
That's just the short version, 

560
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:20,880
or I'll keep that one real 
short. 

561
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,960
But I'm not saying that they 
quite have that adaptability 

562
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,640
because the Knicks aren't 
looking to win 89, nobody is 

563
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,880
8980, and the Knicks aren't even
looking to win 10196. 

564
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,680
But you are seeing that the 
Knicks are able to play a lot of

565
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:38,080
different ways and they're 
they're they're able to do that 

566
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,800
because they've got very 
versatile defenders and they've 

567
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,320
got a deep bench and they've got
a coaching staff that you know, 

568
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,200
I know, I know that Mike Brown's
the coach, but he's he's giving 

569
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:49,840
them a lot of credit. 
And I think that that's a a 

570
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,000
class move by he did that after 
the Hawks series. 

571
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,080
He's like, Hey, you know, my 
staff has been phenomenal. 

572
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,120
And you don't really hear NBA 
coaches say that all the time, 

573
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,360
but he's illuminated that and I 
think he does it because it's 

574
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:03,320
true. 
So when you have a couple of 

575
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:06,760
stars and you have a couple of 
guys who can really, really, 

576
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,840
truly guard one through 5, maybe
not for 6-7 minute stretches at 

577
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:16,080
a time, but we've seen OG go go 
up against Embiid, We've seen 

578
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,920
Bridges get up on a point guard,
try to stagnate the So you've 

579
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:21,760
got those cut. 
Josh Hart can pretty much guard 

580
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:25,840
one through 5, maybe one through
4 and you've got some some 

581
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:28,520
bench, some bench pieces that 
could come off the bench and 

582
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,640
fill it up even though the bench
wasn't great last night. 

583
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,640
You've got you don't have, 
you're not a two pitch pitcher. 

584
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,440
You've got a deeper repertoire 
is what I'm saying. 

585
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,800
Yeah, I mean. 
And I think what you're what 

586
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,960
you're saying about the Knicks, 
the different play styles, it's 

587
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,440
very true. 
I like how, you know, man, and 

588
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,600
he's the guy for it. 
So it kind of stinks that he's 

589
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,640
injured. 
But I love how how much pressure

590
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,960
the Knicks put on the rim in the
modern day. 

591
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,640
Like it's great. 
Like they're A-Team who doesn't 

592
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,880
fall into like the Celtics 
category or the Houston Rockets 

593
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,560
category of like, let's just 
Jack them up and see what 

594
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,560
happens. 
Jack up 50 threes. 

595
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,960
Like the Knicks really have this
ability. 

596
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,960
OG Cat, even Bridges on the you 
know, on the fast break, Josh 

597
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Hart. 
Josh Hart. 

598
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,240
Big time. 
Like that ability to just take 

599
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,000
it to the rim, take it strong, 
hit him with the two hand flush.

600
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,040
Get the and one get. 
The foul, like that's what I 

601
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,800
really love about the Knicks 
game is is they have that 

602
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,240
ability to yes, they can splash 
it from three. 

603
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,400
They've got the guys for that, 
but they've really got the 

604
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,880
ability to pound it inside. 
It's a really good. 

605
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,800
Observation there, Jay. 
Honestly, like, listen, if the 

606
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,240
Knicks were a horrendous 
defensive team, but they could 

607
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,520
put up 140 a night and that's 
how they won a championship, I 

608
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,280
wouldn't give it back. 
Like, I wouldn't complain. 

609
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,640
But if I had my way, if I had my
my ability to kind of build it 

610
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,080
aesthetically, because there's a
lot wrong with the NBA, 

611
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,760
especially during the regular 
season, 6060 combined threes, 

612
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,120
like pretty much an aversion to 
defense. 

613
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,200
Transition defense is optional, 
You know, maintenance days, all 

614
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,440
the shit that bothers us about 
the modern NBA. 

615
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:01,720
Yeah, I know. 
Get off my lawn. 

616
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,040
I know. 
OK, fine, I got you. 

617
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,200
But most of us, you know, and 
now. 

618
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,120
But I was going to say unk. 
Did you see in some of the 

619
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:11,160
comments people call me unk 
yesterday? 

620
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:12,560
Like the? 
Last week or so. 

621
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,440
When the hell did UNK? 
When did I become an UNK? 

622
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,080
Yeah. 
Dang dude I mean you might have 

623
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:22,200
become unk like 20 years ago but
I don't know people do people 

624
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,400
now unk starts us the the 
barrier for unk. 

625
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:32,080
Some people my age go 282928 my 
age I don't know, I wouldn't 

626
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,840
like to me, I wouldn't really 
consider especially your takes 

627
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,320
and your personality is very non
unk ish. 

628
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,280
Some of them a little bit but 
but like Joe B, that's unk right

629
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,280
there. 
That's Grandpa. 

630
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,400
He's passed. 
Unk. 

631
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,160
I mean, that's Grandpa Joe Pops.
Yeah. 

632
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:51,960
It pops. 
You could do that. 

633
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,040
But so just to be clear, 
because, you know, the 

634
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,680
vernacular is a little different
here. 

635
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,360
Unk is Unk is not a diss, right?
For the most part, Unk's kind of

636
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,920
a compliment. 
I no, I don't know. 

637
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,640
I let me tell you, Let me tell 
you what I thought. 

638
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,840
Like when I see Unk, I'm like, 
oh, that's, that's all right. 

639
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,760
That's that's the older dude at 
the at the BBQ who's still cool.

640
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,680
Like that guy's still, he's 
still down. 

641
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,560
Exactly. 
Yes, that is where it originated

642
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,080
from. 
That is, that is the origin of 

643
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,560
the term unk, Uncle Unk. 
He's your boy at the BBQ. 

644
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:23,680
He's your uncle. 
He's all right. 

645
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,160
Well, I'll take that that that's
a good thing. 

646
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,320
That's a good thing. 
I think the way that my 

647
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,840
generation has spinned it, and I
don't think this is the way that

648
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,920
your commenters would be because
it's a little bit of a different

649
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,920
generation. 
The way my generation would be 

650
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,800
would be like bro I just turned 
29 years old I'm unk now I'm 

651
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,440
lost God. 
Almighty, get a grip you young, 

652
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:48,200
you whatever the hell you young 
people are these days. 29 years 

653
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,840
old unk shit man 29 years old I 
could hit a golf ball 300 yards.

654
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:59,280
I was lifting unk my ass. 29F. 
Your couch Here we go 40 plus 

655
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,800
equals unk so well then I. 
Guess a monk. 

656
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:04,920
Not even a new wonk at that 
point. 

657
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:10,120
Yeah, I saw that like 3 weeks 
ago and I'm like, OK, I'm, I 

658
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,840
think that's a good thing. 
Like I, I think they're saying 

659
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,760
I'm the cool older dude at the 
party, I think. 

660
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,280
And then I saw like within the 
last three or four days, like 5 

661
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,160
or 6 hunks on the yo in the 
house. 

662
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,480
Well, make sure I'm not getting 
pissed here on my own show. 

663
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,040
It'll certainly. 
They'll certainly pop up on like

664
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,800
the shorts where you're giving 
that kind of take, where you're 

665
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,440
giving a take where it's like 
the Knicks fans are like this 

666
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,360
are that's true. 
Like. 

667
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:39,280
I'm sure they popped up on that,
that you know. 

668
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,000
What I did see some of that 
stuff like yes, and and I stand 

669
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,760
by it. 
You know you can call me unk. 

670
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,320
You can call me grandpa. 
I'm calling you asshole is what 

671
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,560
I'm calling you If you're one of
those people out there that's 

672
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,360
ripping the jersey off a sixer 
fan. 

673
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,640
I don't care how old I am, I saw
that you're. 

674
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,360
The idiot who's doing it. 
That is ridiculous. 

675
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,040
You should get your. 
Face kicked in is what should 

676
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,760
happen honestly, and and I know 
it only and I'm Knick fans are 

677
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,840
awesome and that only represents
1% of the of of the Knick base 

678
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,360
of fans. 
But I said this yesterday, like 

679
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,800
after game one, there was some 
dude who was walking out. 

680
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,080
He had a Sixers jersey on all 
right here call here, here's the

681
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,120
phones, here's the phones, 
here's the phones. 

682
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,920
Phones get a phones right and 
always got a sixer jersey on and

683
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,200
then like and if this is the 
problem is a little sideswipe 

684
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,280
here. 
This is the problem with today's

685
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,600
generation. 
They think that they could go up

686
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,160
to and they get away with it, 
that they could go up to 

687
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:42,680
somebody and get in their face 
and grab the jersey and then RIP

688
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,080
the jersey off. 
So now when there's that many 

689
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,040
people there, it's it's, you 
know, you're not going to win 

690
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,200
that battle. 
But you know, that's why I said 

691
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,240
yesterday like, hey, man, I wish
that that dude was like a third 

692
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,120
tip black belt. 
I don't care if it's jujitsu. 

693
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,960
I don't care if it's Brazilian. 
I don't care what it is, just 

694
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,120
give me 2-3 quick moves. 
Bang Bang, elbow to the head. 

695
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,240
Yeah, don't kill him. 
Put him on his ass and teach him

696
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,320
a lesson. 
Because when you do that to 

697
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,480
people, you just show him no 
respect. 

698
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,440
And this is an UNC PT talking. 
This is concerned citizen human 

699
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:17,120
being, decent, good person 
speaking. 

700
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,560
Who the fuck do you think that 
you are to be able to do that? 

701
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,400
I, I, I, I just, I, I can't, I 
can't understand that. 

702
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,440
Like if you saw and I was never 
listen, I grew up with some real

703
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,080
tough guys, real tough guys, 
real so. 

704
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,800
And I was never a tough guy. 
I like had a couple scraps, won 

705
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,080
a couple, lost a couple, 
whatever. 

706
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,159
I'm 52. 
That's the last thing I want to 

707
00:34:41,159 --> 00:34:43,960
do now with all the surgeries 
I've had that I'm definitely not

708
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,400
looking for that at all at all. 
But I have seen people get into 

709
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:52,560
fights at bars over back in the 
day, some of the most innocuous.

710
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,080
And I don't mean like, you know,
trying to Mack on somebody's 

711
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:59,280
girl or you know, being straight
up disrespectful or being a 

712
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,920
drunk and like bumping into 
people and then being like y'all

713
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:03,760
screwed. 
Like not even apologizing, which

714
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,280
is ridiculous. 
I'm not talking about that 

715
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,680
stuff. 
Like if, if this if you did that

716
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,440
stuff back now, if you could 
handle yourself then then good 

717
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,840
for you, lucky you. 
But if you did some of the stuff

718
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:19,880
that some of the people get away
with today, you, you would be 

719
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,280
on. 
I'm not even saying for me, you 

720
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,040
would be on the floor in a 
second. 

721
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,960
Your tape would be next to you 
and you'd be dripping in blood. 

722
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,040
Like people didn't put up with 
that shit. 

723
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,040
And it's really, I didn't even 
lie to you. 

724
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,040
I didn't really want to, you 
know, get too serious about 

725
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,320
this. 
But those videos are ridiculous.

726
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,520
And it's getting increasingly 
more dangerous. 

727
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,520
It really is. 
No. 

728
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,280
I mean. 
A fully agreed and and you're 

729
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:46,280
right, like if I think about my 
generation, dude, I'd say. 

730
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,040
If I could. 
Count on three fingers how many 

731
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,840
people I know my age have gotten
into a legitimate fight. 

732
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,320
Exactly. 
Literally 3. 

733
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,920
Fingers maybe and I might not 
even use all of them. 

734
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,400
Like I know one of my and he was
my friend was 12 years old, 1315

735
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,120
years old. 
Like, you rarely meet people my 

736
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:13,960
age within this zone who have 
had any experience in fighting 

737
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,000
or even confrontation. 
I know. 

738
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,280
Like I know you know. 
We're a very non confrontational

739
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:23,720
generation but. 
You're not confrontational in 

740
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:25,800
the physical sense. 
But you're. 

741
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,040
Incredibly aggressive and 
confrontational in the social 

742
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,200
media, which is not the real 
world, Yeah, I think. 

743
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,200
That's the issue is just it's 
gotten skewed. 

744
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,320
So it's like and it and it. 
It goes. 

745
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,560
Into the public setting to where
people my age, shoot even me, 

746
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:45,360
listen, we'll say something 
sometimes to people out of like 

747
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:50,240
like quick impulsive anger or 
quick like knee jerk reaction 

748
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,640
because we're, you saw on social
media having that anonymity of 

749
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,920
saying whatever. 
And then, you know, in person, 

750
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,200
listen, thank God it ain't 
happened to me or anyone I know 

751
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,560
yet. 
But you know, you're opening up 

752
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:05,160
that opportunity to oh, if this 
person is actually fought or if 

753
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,560
this person has any sense of 
like, you know, self 

754
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,800
preservation, they can punch me 
right in the face. 

755
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:16,320
They can knock you out like. 
So it's so it's a bad look, man.

756
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,360
It's you know, and it makes all 
of us look bad because now what 

757
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,600
does that become? 
That becomes basically the 

758
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,560
national representation, the 
national scouting report on 

759
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,000
Knick fans, you know, and that 
and that's just simply not the 

760
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:30,120
case. 
It's just not. 

761
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:35,480
So you know, and I I can promise
you this, unfortunately, you 

762
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,040
know, there will be situate. 
You will see it on video over 

763
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,360
the weekend, whether it's Friday
or Sunday down in Philly, Knick 

764
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:46,000
fans, Philly fans, because if 
the Knicks win, they will be 

765
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,920
coming down the escalator 
taunting Sixer fans. 

766
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,000
And most of the people will be 
younger. 

767
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,080
And because they're not used to 
physical confrontation, they 

768
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,080
think that they could do that. 
It just takes 1, you know, one 

769
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,920
real one to to not accept that. 
And he's got a very dangerous 

770
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,320
situation on your hand. 
And then you mix in the vapes 

771
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,240
and the gummies and the all the 
drinks and all the other stuff, 

772
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,800
you know, it's just, it's not 
good. 

773
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,760
It's just, I don't know, man. 
Now, listen, you know, things 

774
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:14,920
happen. 
Things happen. 

775
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:19,120
Like, I remember I got one of 
the last fights that I got into 

776
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,280
was actually in a World Series 
game at Yankee Stadium. 

777
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,840
Yeah, yeah. 
I didn't start it. 

778
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,200
I did not start. 
No, I really didn't. 

779
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,240
I'm not going to give you the 
details because I'm not trying 

780
00:38:30,240 --> 00:38:32,720
to glorify it, but it was in the
bathroom. 

781
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,360
I've. 
Seen I've seen that happen at 

782
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,840
some Pats games before bro and 
it when I. 

783
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,880
Tell you it was, it started in 
the bathroom. 

784
00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,000
There's like 3 or 4 of us. 
My buddy Spitz, Rob, Kev, Kev 

785
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,360
didn't do anything, but Kev was 
there and I was in the last 

786
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,040
urinal. 
And yeah, I was actually in the 

787
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,240
last urinal. 
Basically the next, the thing 

788
00:38:51,240 --> 00:38:56,520
next to me is a concrete wall. 
And I, I listen, I, I, I'll tell

789
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,400
you a little bit because I'm 
certainly not trying to glorify 

790
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,440
it. 
I'm not even saying I'm proud of

791
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:01,760
it, but this is the way it used 
to be. 

792
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,200
And I'm not even saying that 
that's good. 

793
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,840
I evidently a couple drinks of 
me Yankees, Yankees lost. 

794
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,920
I was pissed off, right? 
And it was with a fellow Yankee 

795
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,880
fan. 
And I, I get my buddy Spitz, 

796
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:17,120
who's a Mack truck. 
I mean just massive and crazy 

797
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,040
and I guess I bumped into a guy 
by accident and I'm the kind 

798
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,960
even when I was younger, I'm the
kind of guy, you know, certainly

799
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,640
you know, young women, old, 
older, but even dudes in bars 

800
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,440
like my bad, like I just I'm not
looking for trouble If I bump 

801
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,280
into yo, I'm sorry, but they 
keep it moving, right. 

802
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,800
Or if you going through a crowd,
I'll kind of like tap somebody 

803
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:37,680
to let them know that I'm just. 
Pardon me. 

804
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:38,880
Pardon me. 
Yeah, absolutely. 

805
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:40,240
Excuse. 
Me, I mean, it's just the way I 

806
00:39:40,240 --> 00:39:43,000
was raised, right And I 
evidently I bumped into 

807
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,840
somebody. 
I guess they were on the way out

808
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,720
as I was coming to the way in 
and you know, pretty big dude, 

809
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:54,360
Six 2 1/2 probably. 
Then I was probably 2:15. 

810
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,320
I was just out of college, so I 
was in pretty good shape. 

811
00:39:57,240 --> 00:39:59,800
And I don't know, I guess then 
the guy said something to his 

812
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,760
buddy, like, yo, that that dude.
I don't even know because I 

813
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,200
didn't, I didn't. 
I was just going to the 

814
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:07,880
bathroom. 
My buddy Spitz heard it, who was

815
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,640
coming in behind me and like 
these dudes basically quartered 

816
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,400
me in the bathroom. 
And the only way that I was 

817
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,960
getting out was to basically 
fight my way out. 

818
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:21,640
And it was it was bad, dude. 
It, it was so bad, it spilled on

819
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,640
to the concourse. 
It's because I eventually I got 

820
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,160
out of I got out of the bathroom
thankfully. 

821
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,560
And like it was just four or 
five of us rolling around like 

822
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,200
really throwing like legitimate 
punch. 

823
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,120
It was. 
Could have gotten arrested dude.

824
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:39,240
It was. 
It was. 

825
00:40:39,240 --> 00:40:41,760
Bad but but my point is, and 
again, that's the last thing I 

826
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,040
wanted to do. 
But like I don't know if if the 

827
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,880
young like if you and it was not
intentional, but like the 

828
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,320
younger back then, you know, if 
you did something intentional, 

829
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,880
even unintentional, you know you
you have problems now really 

830
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,880
just goes back to what I said 
about like the scene outside the

831
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,280
garden. 
We've got to do a better job of 

832
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,000
police in this. 
Have fun, get nuts, enjoy the 

833
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,960
Nick wins. 
But abusing opposing fans is 

834
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,920
nothing cool about it. 
There's nothing fun about it. 

835
00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,680
There's nothing tough about it. 
I don't know what you're trying 

836
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:15,480
to do, why you need to mix your 
fandom and your happiness with 

837
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:17,680
with that. 
It's just it's just never going 

838
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:19,200
to be good luck and I don't know
I. 

839
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,560
Don't know if you have seen like
the original video of that one, 

840
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,240
which I think is kind of cool. 
It wasn't even a Knicks playoff 

841
00:41:26,240 --> 00:41:27,720
game. 
I think it might have been after

842
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:30,200
the RJ Barrett game versus the 
Celtics against. 

843
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,240
The Celtics, Yeah, I think. 
I think that was it. 

844
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:34,480
It was, it was, it was a game 
where the Knicks beat the 

845
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,040
Celtics, where all the fans went
out, and it was much more of a 

846
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,600
positive scene. 
It wasn't negative. 

847
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,280
It was we're celebrating. 
Yeah, listen, there's a guy kind

848
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,480
of Spider Man costume with a 
Hennessy bottle. 

849
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,120
Yeah, he's having fun. 
He's having fun. 

850
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:51,080
There isn't this. 
Vitriol towards the other team's

851
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,760
fans. 
There isn't this violence. 

852
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,560
It's let's celebrate as a city, 
Let's celebrate as Knicks fans. 

853
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:58,160
Here we go. 
Yeah. 

854
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:04,760
I mean, you've got to really be 
a unique fan, a unique fan to 

855
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,080
put on a uniform. 
I respect this and I've done it 

856
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,840
before, couldn't pay me to do it
now. 

857
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:15,120
Put on a uniform for your team 
and go to the opposing venue and

858
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,200
be belligerent. 
And even if you're not 

859
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,520
belligerent, you know, again, 
alcohol just causes people do a 

860
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,120
lot of things that they 
ordinarily wouldn't do. 

861
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,640
Like if you were, if you're a 
Giants fan and a lot of them do 

862
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:29,720
it and you go down to Philly for
Giants Eagles game or even this 

863
00:42:29,720 --> 00:42:32,760
weekend, next Phillies or 
Yankees, Mets a little different

864
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,320
because not not that there's 
never issues, but it's it's all 

865
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,840
New York, whatever. 
Or like Rangers, Flyers or 

866
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,480
Raiders, Niners. 
Matter of fact, the 1st when I 

867
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:45,400
was working in San Francisco, 
the first game, because I think 

868
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,240
we launched the station August 
1st is years ago. 

869
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:53,000
I'm doing afternoon drive and 
this was the second or third 

870
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,040
preseason game. 
So I'm I'm only there like two 

871
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,400
or three weeks in the Bay Area 
and I'm like, yeah, I can't wait

872
00:42:57,400 --> 00:42:59,560
to go to Candlestick. 
I've watched it on TV my entire 

873
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:00,360
life. 
Let's go. 

874
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:02,400
I'm, I'm in the parking lot. 10 
minutes. 

875
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,360
Somebody got stabbed. 
Raiders, Raiders, Niner fans. 

876
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,760
Oh my God. 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

877
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:10,960
It's just, it's, I don't know, 
man. 

878
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,240
I I don't, I don't know. 
Was it like this in the 50s? 

879
00:43:13,240 --> 00:43:18,520
And was it like this I don't 
think about, you know, and my 

880
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,680
dad grew up a great Brooklyn 
Dodger fan. 

881
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:27,000
And the Brooklyn Dodgers could 
never, ever, and I mean never 

882
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,800
beat the New York Yankees when 
it mattered, ever. 

883
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:31,840
And the Dodgers were really 
good. 

884
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:35,880
Duke Snyder, obviously Colfax 
before he went out West. 

885
00:43:36,240 --> 00:43:39,600
You know, Jackie Robinson is 
going to do it, can beat them. 

886
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,400
And they finally beat him in 
1955. 

887
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:45,320
And I'm sure that there were 
some fights in the bar after a 

888
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,600
couple of blue collar guys 
having one or two extra 

889
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,440
whiskeys. 
But it wasn't this antagonistic 

890
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:51,680
that that's what I'm looking 
for. 

891
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,200
It wasn't antagonistic. 
You know what I mean? 

892
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,680
Big time, I mean. 
I, I think, you know, sports 

893
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,520
rivalries were always something.
Yes, there was an anger, but 

894
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:04,760
there was something like Ocean 
View coffee shop says here, 

895
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,760
you're supposed to party with 
the opponent's fans. 

896
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,880
Listen, there's vitriol, but at 
the end of the day, you're 

897
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,320
you're fans of the teams, You're
not on the teams themselves. 

898
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:16,760
So like, game's finally over. 
Go have some fun with your 

899
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,760
opponent. 
Go have some fun with the other 

900
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,320
teams fans and stuff like that, 
rather than having this vitriol.

901
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,280
You know what I'm saying? 
Like, oh, I do know what you're 

902
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,640
saying. 
Like, you know, I watched the 

903
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,000
game seven with some Sixers fans
this weekend and yes, there was 

904
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:32,280
some vitriol. 
There was some height intention,

905
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,520
but it was it was fun and games 
it was. 

906
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,920
There was no true antagonistic 
behavior as you're saying. 

907
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:39,840
It was all fun. 
Well, Jay, when you. 

908
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:41,840
Say that, you know, fans, you 
know, they're not playing. 

909
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,000
I mean, there were a couple of 
years I was going to those Jet 

910
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,120
games in the in the 90s where I 
actually thought that I was 

911
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,760
playing like I would, I would go
in and then I don't want to get 

912
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,520
some other stuff here. 
I would walk in. 

913
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,240
God almighty. 
One of the guys was Spitz, who 

914
00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:59,160
was behind me in the bathroom at
Yankee Stadium and Spitz and and

915
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:00,880
rob another guy who was there 
that night. 

916
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:06,720
Anyway, the I would show up at 
these Jet games with a do rag. 

917
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,200
Yeah. 
Oh, yeah, man, a green. 

918
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,720
I I used to I used to wear you 
know what? 

919
00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:15,360
Not that I thought I was in a 
gang or I got no, not at all, 

920
00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:18,960
but I would wear I wore it 
during construction because I 

921
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:22,120
did construction during the 
summer college, you know, and it

922
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,480
was it was kind of a look. 
Not that I was looking to go 

923
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,040
with the Rico Suave look, but I 
I think he had it in the video. 

924
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,240
And trust me, I was not going 
after that look I promised you. 

925
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,120
But I for a minute, I guess it 
was somewhat popular, the do rag

926
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:39,640
and got the du rig and I would 
go in there with a green and 

927
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,040
white du rag. 
And I had this Wayne Corbett 

928
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,200
jersey and it had to be a little
like like October, October, 

929
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,600
yeah, October, November when it 
get a little gets a little 

930
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,440
chilly. 
And I would wear these black 

931
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,240
Nike baseball batting gloves 
that I still had from either 

932
00:45:53,240 --> 00:45:56,520
college or playing softball for 
a year or two after college. 

933
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,920
And the Corbett Jersey I and it 
was an official, it was like a 

934
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,400
couple of 100 bucks. 
The arms were too long. 

935
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,440
I, I, I cut them so that they 
were kind of up. 

936
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,120
Oh my God, you can find a 
picture. 

937
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:11,200
I don't. 
I don't know if I have any. 

938
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,760
I don't know if I thought they 
were going to say, Hey, come 

939
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,560
play tight end. 
I don't know what the hell I was

940
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,640
thinking, but I, that's what I 
that's what I was wearing. 

941
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,040
Jesus, what a so, I mean, I get 
it. 

942
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,440
We've all been young and we, 
we've all been stupid, but we 

943
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,840
got to stop crossing the line. 
We, we've just got to show a 

944
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,120
little bit. 
I'm not trying to get preachy, 

945
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:28,280
man. 
I don't even know why I got this

946
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:33,200
much into it, but we've got to 
have a little bit more apathy 

947
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,400
for our fellow fellow man. 
Mankind here, really. 

948
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,280
All right, enough of the preach.
Wait, I got to. 

949
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:43,400
Say yesterday I was doing a deep
dive for that Yankees home run 

950
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,680
animation video. 
Which one? 

951
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,480
The one you were telling. 
Me about yesterday you swinging 

952
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,880
the back. 
I I haven't been able to find 

953
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:57,320
it, but I, I, I've realized the 
path you have to go down. 

954
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,080
You do. 
You have to. 

955
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,680
Look, you. 
Have to look for early 2000s, 

956
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,080
that's around the time period, 
right? 

957
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,440
I think it was not I think. 
It was specifically 99. 

958
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,880
That's when I was interning a 
good day New York Channel 5 

959
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:10,160
that. 
There you go. 

960
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:11,840
That helps me narrow it down 
even more. 

961
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:18,320
If you look at videos of people 
recording the TV of 99 home 

962
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:22,960
runs, you can maybe find it. 
I found some of like it. 

963
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,480
These were weird ones, but it 
would be like people recording 

964
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:29,800
just like the yes networks intro
from your phone, like from just 

965
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,360
like I guess for historic 
purposes or an yeah. 

966
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,400
Well then yes, didn't come 
around. 

967
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:36,320
Till I believe it was, Oh yeah, 
03. 

968
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:37,800
I think it was 03. 
Yeah, yeah. 

969
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,560
Or maybe, oh, I think it was 03.
Whatever. 

970
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:42,760
Either way, the that would be a 
great way to cat. 

971
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:43,880
Now that's a lot of work for 
you. 

972
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,560
Yeah, by. 
The way I don't. 

973
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,800
Know, I mean, you didn't get me 
Jake the Snake Roberts, you 

974
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,120
didn't get me Hacksaw Duggan, 
you didn't get me on Rogan's 

975
00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:52,120
show I. 
Mean. 

976
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,880
Rogan, Rogan's show that's still
listen, that's still up in the 

977
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,520
air. 
That could happen at any time. 

978
00:47:58,560 --> 00:47:59,080
I know. 
Listen. 

979
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,440
The bigger the channel gets, 
maybe he'll stumble across some 

980
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,800
unleashed content. 
All right, I got to get serious 

981
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,760
from I mean, not that what we 
just talked about what the fan 

982
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:09,240
stuff wasn't serious, but 
there's and we'll get the Nick 

983
00:48:09,240 --> 00:48:10,640
Coles here. 
We'll get the Nick comments up 

984
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,800
there as well. 
Mike Vrabel can't coach the Pats

985
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,400
anymore. 
He's got to resign, man. 

986
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:19,760
He absolutely has to resign. 
Another chapter in the Vrabel 

987
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:24,000
Rossini situation. 
Now I've stayed away from this. 

988
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:28,000
I've referenced it once or twice
myself. 

989
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:32,360
I I'm not a big fan of you know,
getting into this stuff like 

990
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:34,800
it's never really truly 
interested me. 

991
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,720
You know, I but we're at a point
now this is unavoidable and you 

992
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:43,040
cannot ignore this. 
And if the Patriots don't demand

993
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,240
that he steps down, which they 
probably won't because he's a 

994
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:50,440
patriot, you know, played there 
and he's a hell of a good coach,

995
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,960
then Mike Vrabel is going to 
have to step down himself. 

996
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,440
And yesterday's the final. 
It's the final nail in the 

997
00:48:55,440 --> 00:49:01,480
coffin, man. 
Now, you know, I mean, Diana 

998
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,800
received his careers over. 
There's there's just no coming 

999
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:07,240
back from this. 
I'm not going to even comment on

1000
00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:08,840
our marriage. 
I'm not him. 

1001
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,720
I feel horrendously for him. 
But they'll either resolve that 

1002
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,520
or they won't. 
That's their business right now.

1003
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,280
When I say her career is over, I
mean in the conventional sense 

1004
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:21,840
because of where we're at in 
2026. 

1005
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:24,600
And I saw some stuff on on 
social media yesterday that 

1006
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,360
she's thinking about giving her 
full story to somebody and that 

1007
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,600
would be massive. 
And then she'll branch out 

1008
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,640
independent content and she'll 
probably crush it because she's 

1009
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,880
very good at her job. 
She's got great charisma and I 

1010
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,560
personally like her. 
She's a Bergen County girl. 

1011
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,120
I had her on the fan. 
I texted with her a few times, 

1012
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,880
not much, not much, but a couple
of times about getting her on 

1013
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,000
the show or a story that she 
wrote, she got back to me. 

1014
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,640
Don't profess to know her very 
well, but I know her a little 

1015
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:56,080
bit and she knows of me and she,
certainly her dad was a huge FAN

1016
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:57,160
fan. 
I can only imagine what her 

1017
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:58,320
dad's going through now. 
My God. 

1018
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,880
But now yesterday TMZ had this. 
So they rented a boat. 

1019
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,920
This was in June of 2021 in 
Tennessee. 

1020
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:12,160
And I mean, this is just this. 
This is just beyond malicious. 

1021
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:16,640
I don't, I don't even know what 
word to describe this. 9 levels 

1022
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:19,800
lower than were higher depending
upon how you look at it callous.

1023
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,240
It's just, it's just dirty. 
She was in her third trimester 

1024
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:30,280
in terms of her pregnancy. 
And later on that month, after 

1025
00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:34,680
the boat rental with Mike Rabel,
she had her first child. 

1026
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:37,760
Now, I mean, you know, again, 
this is up to the, to her 

1027
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:41,280
current husband DNA test. 
And I know I've read what you've

1028
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:42,520
read. 
I've seen what you've said, 

1029
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:46,040
what, what you've seen, heard 
what you've heard about the, the

1030
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:47,360
child's name. 
Mike. 

1031
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,600
I, I don't know. 
All I know is when you have 

1032
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:54,160
stuff like this, the residual 
damage that happens to young 

1033
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:58,640
kids, it's, it's just, it's 
just, it's not supposed to be 

1034
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,680
that way. 
As we know, they're adults. 

1035
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:03,000
They got to handle their 
business. 

1036
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:06,040
And, and I don't really stick my
beak in other people's business,

1037
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:09,600
but from a sporting point of 
view, he's just got to go. 

1038
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:13,360
He's got to go and he's got to 
have, he's got to have the 

1039
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,000
fortitude to come to that 
decision himself. 

1040
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:21,000
The Pats should not be 
pressuring him or it's got to 

1041
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:24,200
come from within because Mike 
Vrabel will be fine when he's 

1042
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:25,680
talking about football to the 
Pats. 

1043
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:29,040
They're all young dudes. 
You know, they all want to, you 

1044
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:31,440
know, some, some get married 
young and some live a straight 

1045
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,480
laced lifestyle and and that's 
great, you know, commit to one 

1046
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,280
woman, commit to one guy if 
you're gay. 

1047
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:40,440
I mean, it is what it is, right?
But a lot of those people, lot 

1048
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,200
of those young dudes, because I 
was young, they're looking to 

1049
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,360
have some fun. 
So they're not looking at Mike 

1050
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:52,760
Vrabel the coach, when he's 
talking about 43 defense or 

1051
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,120
blitz coverage, whatever it 
might be. 

1052
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,240
They're not looking at them 
sideways, like, I can't listen 

1053
00:51:58,240 --> 00:51:59,040
to you. 
What? 

1054
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,720
Look what you just did. 
They don't give a shit about 

1055
00:52:01,720 --> 00:52:04,000
that. 
When they will care about that 

1056
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:07,080
is when one of them gets in 
trouble. 

1057
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,760
And trust me, it's the NFL and 
it's, you know, it's young 

1058
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,920
athletes. 
Invariably somebody will step 

1059
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:18,600
out of bounds, whether it's with
the NFL or a team rule and Mike 

1060
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:22,040
Rabel will have to put his foot 
down and it's a non football 

1061
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,560
matter and that's where you 
become compromised. 

1062
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:30,640
You hear the term all the time. 
Leader of men. 

1063
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:35,160
You can't be less of a leader of
men right now than Mike Rabel 

1064
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,720
has shown and demonstrated. 
You just can't be. 

1065
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:39,960
You could be 1 great football 
coach. 

1066
00:52:40,240 --> 00:52:43,680
That's the guy that I wanted 
coaching The Jets that can you 

1067
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,120
go back and find the old stuff 
for the fan. 

1068
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:51,480
I was all over Rabel, Rabel, 
Rabel, Rabel, Rabel, Rabel. 

1069
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:55,760
I wanted Rabel. 
I mean, thank God now, maybe 

1070
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,920
last year would have been better
before all this stuff hit the 

1071
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:01,520
fan. 
Thank God that The Jets have 

1072
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:06,480
avoided this because that I 
mean, imagine that New York it 

1073
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,720
like I'm listening to Drake May,
who's a young quarterback and a 

1074
00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:12,440
terrific quarterback. 
Drake May is like, Nah, he's a 

1075
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:13,640
great leader. 
I mean it. 

1076
00:53:13,720 --> 00:53:15,680
It doesn't matter. 
No disrespect to Drake May. 

1077
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,320
I've got great respect for him. 
Doesn't matter what Drake May 

1078
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,360
says. 
Drake May is a young pup. 

1079
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,680
He doesn't get the way the world
fully works yet. 

1080
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,920
You know, with the all the other
stuff he gets a lot of the way 

1081
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:26,680
the world. 
I'm not trying. 

1082
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,280
I'm not taking a shot at Drake 
May be clear about that. 

1083
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:32,280
But I don't really care what 
Drake May says about his head 

1084
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,840
coach right now. 
It is just, it is too sloppy. 

1085
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:40,960
It's just too scandal ridden. 
He just can't coach the Pats 

1086
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:44,000
anymore. 
Just can't I, I don't really 

1087
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,560
know any other thing. 
I don't know how you see it any 

1088
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:50,280
other way. 
And it's just been a stream. 

1089
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:54,520
I mean, every week there's a new
story, man, Ferg, you know, 

1090
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,040
they're right there at the 
resort in Arizona. 

1091
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,400
Up Here's a picture of them, you
know, making out in 2020 at a 

1092
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,520
bar. 
Up here's a picture of them 

1093
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:07,360
rolling the dice at a casino. 
Up here's actual documentation 

1094
00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:09,480
footage, you know, like a 
screenshot. 

1095
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:13,240
Mike Vrabel's signature, Diana 
Rossini's signature, rented a 

1096
00:54:13,240 --> 00:54:14,840
boat in Tennessee. 
She's in there. 

1097
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,040
She's 7. 
She's 8 months pregnant, you 

1098
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:21,160
know, I mean, so think about 
what she has done to her husband

1099
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,080
and her children. 
And, and again, I'm, I'm going 

1100
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,320
to stop there because that's I 
don't, I'm just not comfortable.

1101
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,720
We, we know what she's done to 
them. 

1102
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:32,920
So there's really no need to 
pile on. 

1103
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:34,760
Like I don't need to be that 
guy. 

1104
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:36,560
Just think about if that was 
you. 

1105
00:54:40,560 --> 00:54:45,080
But what I will react to is a 
head coach now every in the most

1106
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,680
popular sport in the country 
every week, something popping up

1107
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,480
that continues to impugn his 
integrity. 

1108
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,200
Got to get rid of them. 
Can't coach the team. 

1109
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,400
That's it. 
So I don't know what they'll do.

1110
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,160
I don't know what he'll do. 
And by the way, how about the 

1111
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:01,480
bull? 
This is bullshit. 

1112
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:06,480
Like this part actually bothers 
me how fake and how transparent 

1113
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,240
was and I didn't even really get
into this. 

1114
00:55:08,240 --> 00:55:10,600
But you know, as I'm as I'm 
going this part, as I'm going 

1115
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,520
through this now, you know, I 
may have referenced it like a 

1116
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,520
sentence a couple of shows ago. 
So think about this. 

1117
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:19,640
So, and again, I'm not looking 
to get involved in anybody's 

1118
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:24,360
marriage, all right, but he's 
there for day one of the draft. 

1119
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,200
Hey, first round man, Can't 
miss. 

1120
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,480
I can't miss this. 
I got to be in the war room. 

1121
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,760
It's the draft. 
Rounds 2 and rounds 3. 

1122
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:36,560
Hey, can't miss this. 
I got to oh, oh, day three. 

1123
00:55:36,720 --> 00:55:39,480
What? 
Backup tight end, nickel 

1124
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:41,480
quarterback from some no name 
school. 

1125
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,080
All right, I'll go and I'll go 
and seek therapy. 

1126
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:46,960
What? 
For a day and then the picture. 

1127
00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,200
Buying pajamas for his wife at 
the airport. 

1128
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:52,360
What are we doing? 
What are we doing here? 

1129
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:57,000
You know, but think about how 
how, think about how weak that 

1130
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:01,200
is weak on his part, weak on the
pat, weak on everybody's part. 

1131
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:04,080
He's there for the important 
part of the draft. 

1132
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:05,560
And I'm not saying you can't get
good players. 

1133
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:08,600
I mean, we there's been, I mean,
Brock Purdy was the last guy 

1134
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,400
taken good quarterback. 
Not saying you're not going to 

1135
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:14,080
find any good players late in 
the you will, but it's always 

1136
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,720
deemed less important because 
it's not a premium pick. 

1137
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,200
That's when he decided to leave.
All right, let me go address 

1138
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:22,800
this now. 
Give me a break. 

1139
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:25,560
Give me a break. 
You, you know, you, you. 

1140
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,640
I just don't think that you have
the right. 

1141
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,600
Mike Rabel has not earned the 
right. 

1142
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,720
No, I mean, I don't know how 
you've got the juice and the 

1143
00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:40,760
respect to stand up in front of 
a group of 53 men with the final

1144
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,360
roster set and more early in 
camp. 

1145
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,840
Look them in the eyes and tell 
them what you expect when you've

1146
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,000
been doing this for Lord knows 
how many years. 

1147
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:56,800
You know, I mean, I I don't know
and I understand there's varying

1148
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,920
opinions on everything, whether 
you know, whether it was CAD or 

1149
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,960
Brunson dribbling too much or 
Mike Brown or, you know, Bednar 

1150
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,600
or Soto hitting first, or we 
could all weigh in on sports 

1151
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:09,360
opinions. 
And all right, I say what I say.

1152
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:10,760
You say what you say. 
I respect it. 

1153
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:12,560
Hopefully you respect where I'm 
coming from. 

1154
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,160
I don't know how anybody has a 
counter opinion to this. 

1155
00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:18,400
How does anybody not agree with 
what I'm saying? 

1156
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,240
Well, he's a football coach. 
It means nothing. 

1157
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,320
All right. 
OK, so if you disagree with my 

1158
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:27,480
premise that he should no longer
be the coach of the Pats, he 

1159
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,320
must be out. 
He must be right. 

1160
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:35,080
But if you disagree with that, 
you're going to say, hey, you 

1161
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,480
know what personal life, and 
you'll probably say something 

1162
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:41,200
like this. 
How many if, if, if, if the 

1163
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:44,320
league, if all the leagues and 
all the players were held to 

1164
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:48,920
this standard, cheating on your 
wife, doing drugs, doing stuff 

1165
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:53,160
you shouldn't do, there'd be no,
no professional sports to watch.

1166
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:54,840
You're right. 
No, no, you're right. 

1167
00:57:55,160 --> 00:58:00,040
The difference is some people 
are a little bit more discreet 

1168
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:04,400
in what they do and when they do
it and how they do it. 

1169
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,520
This guy just doesn't give a 
shit. 

1170
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,200
Yeah, let's go get a boat, 
honey. 

1171
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:11,720
Let's go get a boat. 
And I rent. 

1172
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,520
I love, I love fishing. 
I love the water. 

1173
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:16,080
I've rented boats like that. 
It's beautiful. 

1174
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:20,640
I rented boats when I was 
shooting the show in in Utah for

1175
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:23,000
Discovery Man versus Barry was 
out there for like 2 months and 

1176
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,600
my wife came out and the kids 
were too young so they couldn't 

1177
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,320
come out. 
My in laws watched them, but my 

1178
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,400
wife came out. 
We rented a boat. 

1179
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:32,600
We got a little bottle of wine 
for after when we were docked 

1180
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:37,480
right driving around, dropping 
lines, shirt off beautiful Utah 

1181
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,000
mountains. 
It's it's invigorate. 

1182
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,440
I've done that upstate. 
I've done that I've done that. 

1183
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:44,480
I've done that in Nevada at the 
Hoover Dam with my boys like 

1184
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:48,000
it's it's a blast. 
But this guy, he takes a 

1185
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:49,520
picture. 
Hey, don't make it public. 

1186
00:58:49,520 --> 00:58:53,200
Oh, OK, we will make it public. 
He signs his name on a boat 

1187
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:55,400
rental. 
She's 8 months pregnant. 

1188
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000
It's just it's unacceptable. 
Now the league can't do 

1189
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,400
anything. 
This is not a league issue. 

1190
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,520
This should be a Mike Vrabel 
realization that man, I fucked 

1191
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:06,840
up and I, I got to, I got to 
check out. 

1192
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:10,360
And I don't mean checking out 
for the 5th, 6th and 7th round 

1193
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,520
draft picks. 
I got to, I got to, I got to 

1194
00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,880
resign. 
Got to resign because I'm 

1195
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:19,280
telling you all the all this 
stuff that's every week, there's

1196
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,320
dribs and drabs. 
They're here, they're rolling 

1197
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,280
the dice, they're getting the 
boat, they're making out in a 

1198
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:25,320
bar. 
They're doing this. 

1199
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,720
What's next? 
They were in Paris by the Eiffel

1200
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,840
Tower, you know, making crepes, 
like, what's next? 

1201
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,680
And what if that happens during 
the season when a coach becomes 

1202
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,160
a distraction? 
You can't be the coach anymore. 

1203
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,600
I don't care how good you are. 
So I would say the same thing 

1204
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,840
about Aaron Boone. 
I would say the same thing about

1205
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,760
Mike Brown. 
I would say the same thing about

1206
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,360
Mendy. 
I would say about John Horrible 

1207
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:52,280
or Dabel or Aaron Glenn when 
Dabel was here or Glenn or any 

1208
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,240
of the hockey coaches, I forget 
some of their names. 

1209
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,720
Same thing, same premise, same 
rule. 

1210
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:02,600
You are now a distraction more 
than you're an asset. 

1211
01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:06,600
So to me this is very black and 
white. 

1212
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:10,120
All right, Johnny Boyd disagrees
here. 

1213
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:11,280
That, and I know that some of 
you will. 

1214
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:12,840
I get it. 
If Rabel stays and keeps 

1215
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,120
winning, story disappears. 
I don't know about that. 

1216
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,760
Number one, that's got to be a 
risk you're willing to take #1 

1217
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,520
and as as good as the Pats are, 
we know that. 

1218
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,480
But take away from being Super 
Bowl champs, there's no 

1219
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,720
guarantee that they're going to 
win 12 or 13 games this year. 

1220
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,320
You just don't know. 
It's not like LeBron or the Cavs

1221
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,000
years ago about they're going to
win 55 with their eyes shut, you

1222
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,800
know, or Curry and Klay 
Thompson, it seems going to win 

1223
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,240
5060 games or more obviously, 
but at least because they're 

1224
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:40,280
just that much better. 
You know, football's different. 

1225
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:44,560
One injury, whatever it might 
be, you know, 19 win season 1 

1226
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,840
slight underachievement, 1 
regression from a young 

1227
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,120
quarterback, which I don't think
will happen. 

1228
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:51,400
Drake May is terrific. 
But my point is you just don't 

1229
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,280
know. 
There's a, there's a lot of 

1230
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,280
randomness in football. 
There really is. 

1231
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,520
So which part of the reason why 
they think The Jets can flip 

1232
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:01,840
things this year, why the Giants
can flip things this year, why 

1233
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:03,800
the Browns can maybe flip things
this year? 

1234
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,080
You know, you don't really say 
that, hey, next year the Utah 

1235
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:07,880
Jazz, they're going to be a 53 
win team. 

1236
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,400
Nobody's saying that because 
they're not. 

1237
01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,920
So you just don't know. 
But it it might disappear for a 

1238
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,880
little bit and the winds will 
placate some. 

1239
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:24,520
But if she speaks and she's 
going to more stuff's going to 

1240
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:28,000
come out, you know, not to 
mention other pictures. 

1241
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:30,400
So that's just my opinion. 
You know, you don't have to 

1242
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,000
agree with it. 
I didn't get into this really at

1243
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:34,640
all outside of a surface 
reaction. 

1244
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,080
Like, what are you doing, man? 
This is this is horrible for the

1245
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,800
families because, you know, I 
really try to avoid that stuff, 

1246
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:42,560
but it is past the point of no 
overturn. 

1247
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:45,400
If that's my coach, I don't give
a shit how good he is. 

1248
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:47,480
You got to leave. 
You can't coach the team 

1249
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,680
anymore. 
You messed up to a point. 

1250
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:51,040
You got it. 
You got to go. 

1251
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,080
Now, it doesn't mean that you 
can't rehabilitate your image 

1252
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:57,920
and that you're banned forever. 
But right now, this situation 

1253
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:02,000
needs dire attention and the 
noise has to come down and it's 

1254
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,200
not. 
All right, let's get to the 

1255
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:04,640
calls. 
J Rod, what we got here, buddy? 

1256
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,200
Who's up? 
Got our buddy Benji. 

1257
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:09,800
Talking some Nicks. 
Benji on the upper. 

1258
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,520
East Side Nicks up. 
Use it. 

1259
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,200
What up, Benji? 
What's up, man? 

1260
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:15,600
That's Benji, not Benny. 
No, I said bench. 

1261
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:17,600
I know, I know. 
It's just on screen. 

1262
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:23,760
Oh. 
Oh, oh, J Rod, I see what 

1263
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:25,520
happened. 
It switched with a dude 

1264
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:27,480
yesterday. 
Yeah. 

1265
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:29,600
There are excuses from Jay. 
What's up there? 

1266
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:31,560
What's up, Benji? 
What's up, man? 

1267
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,960
Obviously feeling great. 
You can hear it in my voice 

1268
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:36,560
there. 
There was a Sixers fan behind me

1269
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,680
last night with his wife, 
presumably that got me so 

1270
01:02:39,680 --> 01:02:42,040
heated. 
I would never do this. 

1271
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,320
And of course, like you said, 
it's always it's always about 

1272
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,680
the you know, the the, it's it 
never goes beyond the line. 

1273
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:51,600
But this guy was behind me 
yelling so obnoxiously, which is

1274
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:55,520
not something you do in when 
you're going into the to to the 

1275
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,640
Mecca and in a road jersey in a 
playoff game. 

1276
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,720
But he was calling fronts in a 
fraud, a foul baiter, just 

1277
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,160
yelling behind me obnoxiously. 
And it was funny because we were

1278
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:07,000
we were drawing each other all 
night. 

1279
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,680
And then at halftime, he looked 
at me and he said, all right, 

1280
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,240
man. 
And we just kind of truced it. 

1281
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,560
And then there you go. 
For the second-half of the game,

1282
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:15,760
we move forward. 
I still told him, said, hey, 

1283
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,680
man, I waved to him by I said, 
go back down the Turnpike. 

1284
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,680
We're sweeping you fools. 
There you go. 

1285
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,240
Anyway, as far as the game goes,
we obviously didn't play well. 

1286
01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,880
Like you mentioned, we shot 7 to
26 from three. 

1287
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:29,720
We were not crisp. 
So many turnovers, so many 

1288
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,800
difficulties in bounding the 
ball and the late in the game, 

1289
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,080
they need to work on that. 
Couple. 

1290
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,240
Things that that caught my eye. 
Wanted to see more Jordan 

1291
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,760
Clarkson last night, he was good
in his limited minutes. 

1292
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,520
He only played 8 minutes, 8 
minutes, yeah. 

1293
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,600
Six points 5. 
Rebounds he was aggressive, 

1294
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,240
scores at will. 
I've noticed about Clarkson, 

1295
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,760
he's great getting into the 
paint and scoring. 

1296
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:52,520
Horrible at making threes in 
transition. 

1297
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,240
Always bricks them. 
I just watch and keep an eye on 

1298
01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:59,280
that. 
Another stellar game from Cat 

1299
01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,000
even though he was limited. 
I mean 7 assists. 

1300
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,600
I mean, he, this is like a 
nightly occurrence here, Benji. 

1301
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,360
I mean, he has just been sublime
with his his rerouting of the 

1302
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,160
bowl and just the way he finds 
cuts and guys he's been, he's 

1303
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,520
been great. 
That's why I said many. 

1304
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:15,920
I said he's like a reinvention 
of Yokich. 

1305
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:18,680
Yesterday he did say that. 
He would have had more. 

1306
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:20,800
Assists. 
He whipped a past a heart in the

1307
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,920
corner on one play and hard 
missed the three. 

1308
01:04:23,760 --> 01:04:27,560
And anyway, I'm not worried 
about this injury as much as 

1309
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:30,120
everyone else is. 
Like you said, I think I if the 

1310
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,080
focus is just going to be on 
going up three O we can buy 

1311
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:36,120
ourselves some time. 
We can buy ourselves, you know, 

1312
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,680
like wrap this series up, get 
five to seven days off. 

1313
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:40,080
We'll be in. 
We'll be in great shape. 

1314
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,280
So I'm feeling great overall. 
You can hear it. 

1315
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,680
I'm just trying to get through 
the day, get to I know get to 

1316
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:49,080
tomorrow night's tip off. 
I love your stories about, about

1317
01:04:49,080 --> 01:04:51,960
trying to avoid, you know, 
hearing about the game. 

1318
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,400
If I relate that to my own life,
it's funny. 

1319
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,560
I'll be racing home to, to let's
just say in the event I'm 

1320
01:04:57,560 --> 01:04:59,960
running late or something and 
I'm missing a part of the game, 

1321
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:03,560
I'll I'll race by my doorman 
because I know that he's going 

1322
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,960
to say something about the game.
So I will deliberately avoid 

1323
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:06,920
him. 
Yeah. 

1324
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:08,760
Yeah. 
No. 

1325
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,720
It's a game, Benji. 
It's like it's a skill, it's an 

1326
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:13,920
art, so you know. 
How you know how? 

1327
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,160
So the way that I approach that 
is and everybody that knows me 

1328
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:18,280
and is friends and me knows 
this. 

1329
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,480
I turn my phone off. 
I know sometimes you can't do it

1330
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:25,280
because emergency situations and
the kids I, I go off the grid 

1331
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,160
completely Zero Dark 30 and then
nobody can read. 

1332
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:32,200
There's just too many ways to be
with WhatsApp and and face too 

1333
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:35,000
many ways to be Twitter. 
So you just you're just there's 

1334
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,160
no way to avoid being being 
updated on the game. 

1335
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:40,200
So try that next time if you 
can. 

1336
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,040
It's it's something that's 
worked for me. 

1337
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:44,800
And then I basically quick turn 
quickly turn my phone back on, 

1338
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:48,200
check the score, try to avoid 
all the incoming messages. 

1339
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,520
I mute all my threads. 
It's it works like a blessing. 

1340
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:56,200
I've dealt with it when I'm when
I'm travelling occasionally as 

1341
01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:00,080
far as the game last night as 
well, Deuce I thought was pretty

1342
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,960
poor. 
I thought Sham and obviously is 

1343
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,680
look very tentative out there. 
He looks like almost like when I

1344
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:08,640
don't want to when I'm feeling 
less than confident in the game 

1345
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:09,960
and I don't want to shoot the 
ball. 

1346
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:11,760
That's kind of how sham it looks
right now. 

1347
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,840
He's afraid to pull the trigger.
It's a little bit, little bit 

1348
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:14,520
they're. 
Going to need him. 

1349
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:15,720
They're going to need him on 
Friday. 

1350
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,320
Yeah, so. 
So my my last point is, and I'm 

1351
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:22,360
curious what your take is and 
the rest of the callers, if 

1352
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,640
we're we're obviously going to 
miss OG in game three, I would 

1353
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:27,680
go with the Awara. 
I know this isn't going to 

1354
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:30,560
happen, but I think from a size 
standpoint, he makes the most 

1355
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:32,760
sense because he's he's not 
timid. 

1356
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:34,920
He's looked very comfortable 
when he gets big, given the 

1357
01:06:34,920 --> 01:06:37,400
playing time. 
He can defend, he can shoot the 

1358
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:40,120
three. 
Deuce is good, obviously. 

1359
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:41,800
We love him. 
Hasn't played well in the 

1360
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:44,080
playoffs so far with the 
exception of game six in the 

1361
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:46,200
Atlanta series. 
He had a big three last night 

1362
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,000
obviously, but didn't play well.
He's just too small. 

1363
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:50,760
There's too many times we're too
small. 

1364
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:54,680
So I'd rather go MO D just for 
the size standpoint. 

1365
01:06:54,680 --> 01:06:56,360
But love yourself, man Thank 
you. 

1366
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:57,920
Keep rocking. 
I love it, Betty. 

1367
01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,160
Yeah. 
Listen, get that voice going, 

1368
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:00,280
man. 
That's one of the challenges 

1369
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:01,920
here. 
All you do is talk, yell, cheer,

1370
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,280
yell, talk, cheer. 
No, listen, it's an art. 

1371
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,120
You've got to learn how to avoid
stuff like this. 

1372
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:10,000
And you know, my challenge now, 
the good thing is, is that when 

1373
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,600
I'm at these games, you know, 
everybody, especially, you know,

1374
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:17,320
in in town knows what I do for a
living, you know, and they they 

1375
01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:21,320
know by now. 
Tell me I don't mean to fight. 

1376
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,560
The Yankees were playing like 
last night, like the Yankees. 

1377
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,200
I did look at my phone for a 
second, see what the Yankees 

1378
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:27,960
were doing. 
I'm like, well, Warren got 

1379
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:31,480
knocked around a little bit 
early, but they, they, they kind

1380
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,200
of know to do that. 
And, and I'll tell you talk 

1381
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:37,000
about what the hell was it? 
Remember Tebow? 

1382
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,600
J Rod, Do you remember Tebow? 
Tim Tebow? 

1383
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:41,040
No, no. 
TiVo. 

1384
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:45,040
TiVo. 
I don't believe so. 

1385
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,000
It's before. 
DVR on demand like you know it's

1386
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,560
it's when. 
Whenever, Yes. 

1387
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:52,400
OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, when
that came. 

1388
01:07:52,400 --> 01:07:55,120
Out that changed I mean the 
iPhone changed the world. 

1389
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,880
This changed so much because 
it'll let it just allowed you to

1390
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,880
watch things on your own time 
and and I remember and I don't 

1391
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:05,680
know how I pulled this off right
and I was looking at the date 

1392
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,640
that's one of the reasons why I 
was looking down when Benji was 

1393
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:08,920
talking to me even though I was 
listening. 

1394
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:22,279
So January 8th of 2005 I I was 
in South Bend IN at Notre Dame 

1395
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,760
St. 
John's played the Irish right 

1396
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:28,520
and that's when I would travel 
everywhere right. 

1397
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,279
It's one of the Big East was a a
different version. 

1398
01:08:30,279 --> 01:08:34,040
So there's a lot more travel and
The Jets have a playoff game. 

1399
01:08:34,160 --> 01:08:36,960
Of course I'm like, you got to 
be kidding me man. 

1400
01:08:37,319 --> 01:08:41,560
So, you know, the iPhones were 
were there, but they weren't. 

1401
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:43,200
It wasn't. 
It's 20 years ago. 

1402
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:45,680
So it was a little different, 
little easier to navigate. 

1403
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:50,040
Long story short, we get on the 
plane and well, no, we get on 

1404
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:51,840
the St. 
John's literally loses at the 

1405
01:08:51,840 --> 01:08:54,040
buzzer. 
I think Chris Thomas hit it was 

1406
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,840
a little point guard, pretty 
good player hit a hit a jump 

1407
01:08:56,840 --> 01:08:58,840
shot or something like that. 
I I believe it like one or two 

1408
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:00,279
seconds. 
It was like a basically a buzzer

1409
01:09:00,279 --> 01:09:01,920
beater. 
So it was a horrible loss for 

1410
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,359
St. and St. 
John's wasn't good that year at 

1411
01:09:03,359 --> 01:09:06,840
all, but it was a good game. 
And now I've got A and 

1412
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,439
everybody, you know, whether 
it's guys I'm doing the games 

1413
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:12,520
with or the engineers or or the 
priest that travels or some of 

1414
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,439
the other coaches, they all know
I'm a massive Jets fan. 

1415
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,960
And I'm like, don't I actually 
said to the stewardess, I said 

1416
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:20,960
please make it when we get on 
the charter, please make an 

1417
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:24,200
announcement. 
Don't, don't, please don't save 

1418
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,120
The Jets score, right? 
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

1419
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,000
So she so they did it. 
She didn't do what I told 

1420
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:29,160
everyone. 
Get on the bus, Jets. 

1421
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,240
I don't want to know. 
Literally walked to the back of 

1422
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:35,560
the bus. 
Don't tell me I was able to get 

1423
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,840
on the bus and the game had 
already started. 

1424
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:41,120
All right, get on the bus, get 
on the charter. 

1425
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:42,279
And it's not around the corner, 
man. 

1426
01:09:42,279 --> 01:09:44,240
It's not like you're flying from
DC to New York. 

1427
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,359
You're like, you know, it's a 
couple an hour and a half, two 

1428
01:09:46,359 --> 01:09:51,600
hours, Indiana and get back to 
the airport and and and then 

1429
01:09:51,600 --> 01:09:55,960
take the team bus back to the 
university, get in my car and 

1430
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:59,240
listen to music and then get to 
my apartment. 

1431
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:04,280
All right, I have no idea what 
happened. 

1432
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,960
Zero. 
I don't know if we're up 35, 

1433
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:09,880
nothing down 35 nothing. 
I don't know what's going on 

1434
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:11,960
dude. 
That's kind of sick that like 

1435
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:15,440
listen to it's not I'm not done.
How I there was a kick at the 

1436
01:10:15,440 --> 01:10:20,840
end, right Jets 1, I believe was
1714 and there was a kick and 

1437
01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:22,120
and back. 
Oh, you can still do it now. 

1438
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:26,640
I when I got to that point, but 
but because it was on TiVo, now 

1439
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,720
you can, you know, like you 
can't slow down live, obviously,

1440
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:33,680
but I wasn't live. 
I actually went through the kick

1441
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,600
frame by frame. 
I don't know if it's made or 

1442
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:38,600
missed. 
And I'm sitting on my couch in 

1443
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:42,240
my apartment like this watching 
the ball first the snap go like 

1444
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:48,840
this Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, 
Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding. 

1445
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,960
That's how I watched it. 
And I want to see how many yards

1446
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:53,160
that field goal was. 
Hang on. 

1447
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,960
Yeah, it was definitely January 
8th, 2005. 

1448
01:10:58,480 --> 01:11:02,560
And it was, it was out in San 
Diego. 

1449
01:11:02,560 --> 01:11:07,040
That was herm 2005 Jets Chargers
playoffs. 

1450
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,400
Hang on. 
I I can't, I I can't, I can't, I

1451
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,280
can never lose it. 
I I can't watch a game like that

1452
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,280
again. 
Yeah, it was 2017. 

1453
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:18,840
Yep, it was Chad threw for 279 
and it was let me see here. 

1454
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:25,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Doug Bryant. 
But I I know it was Doug how it 

1455
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:30,080
was the the Chargers. 
Yes, there was a roughing the 

1456
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,040
passer by. 
Was it Barton who we got from 

1457
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:36,360
the Raiders somebody Anyway, I'm
getting in the weeds of stuff 

1458
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:38,520
that doesn't really matter. 
But it was at Qualcomm Stadium 

1459
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:43,040
in in San Diego, Jets 20, 
Charger 17, and they won by a 

1460
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,960
field goal by Doug Bryan, who 
wound up missing some big ones 

1461
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:49,840
against Phil, against the 
Steelers, whatever, after a 

1462
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,520
after a late rally there. 
And how about that? 

1463
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:54,720
That's how I watched that kick 
go through. 

1464
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:59,320
Literally spin by spin by spin 
by spin, frame by frame in a 

1465
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:02,120
playoff game. 
That is just ridiculous. 

1466
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:03,920
I mean, it was. 
Ridiculous, that's what I have 

1467
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,280
to. 
Say from the story I've gathered

1468
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,040
you have great willpower and 
great self-control. 

1469
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:14,040
Like dude, I think I, I could 
never like have like a Celts 

1470
01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:17,560
game or something going on and 
I'm not checking the score every

1471
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,080
30 seconds, refreshing the I 
know. 

1472
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:22,360
Like it's just. 
And I think that's, you know, 

1473
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:26,600
it's a generational thing, but 
it's like it like the fact that 

1474
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:30,280
you were able to to literally be
in the dark and just get back to

1475
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:31,800
the crib. 
That says something. 

1476
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:33,560
Dude. 
I I it. 

1477
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:35,560
It was really one of the hardest
things I've ever done. 

1478
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,320
I mean, we're talking about The 
Jets and we're talking about a 

1479
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,120
Jets playoff game. 
And again, it's not like I'm 

1480
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:43,320
coming back from, you know, it's
not like I'm in, in, you know, 

1481
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,240
down in Philly and St. 
John's is playing Villanova, you

1482
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:48,760
know, where I could drive back 
and just put music on and like 

1483
01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:50,520
how to tune things out for an 
hour and a half, whatever it 

1484
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,640
might take maybe 2 hours. 
I'm in the state of Indiana. 

1485
01:12:54,480 --> 01:12:59,480
It was freaking torturous, dude.
Like, there is no way. 

1486
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:01,840
And like, I think if you guys 
use some of you used to listen 

1487
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:05,920
to me on 10:50, it's impossible 
for me to characterize what I 

1488
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:07,760
was like back then. 
Really. 

1489
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:10,720
I just, I can't describe it with
them now. 

1490
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:14,240
I was obviously a maniacal 
Yankee and Knick fan, but that 

1491
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,640
like those Jet games. 
My goodness. 

1492
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:19,760
Wow, that's too. 
Funny. 

1493
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:20,680
Yeah. 
I mean it's. 

1494
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:23,320
Absolutely crazy. 
You know, I'm just going to ask 

1495
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:24,960
the question here. 
I'm going to throw it out there.

1496
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:26,720
By the way, do you agree with me
on Frabel? 

1497
01:13:27,480 --> 01:13:30,680
Yeah, I mean, I, I think, you 
know, we chopped it up a little 

1498
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:33,120
bit beforehand. 
I think like you said it as a 

1499
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:37,320
leader of man, this cannot and 
listen for the Pats. 

1500
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:41,240
They don't have the best example
starting from from the root of 

1501
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:41,720
the. 
Tree. 

1502
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:43,840
They don't have the greatest. 
Examples at all. 

1503
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:47,880
So it's like, you know, do you 
do you believe that they're 

1504
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,080
going to do anything? 
But no, in my in my opinion, you

1505
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:53,840
can't have a coach who's 
personal life is not only a 

1506
01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,360
detractor to what the team's 
doing with outside noise, but 

1507
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:01,120
also someone who, yes, sports 
wise, obviously he can. 

1508
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:05,360
But as a man is not really the 
best example right now. 

1509
01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:07,120
I don't think that. 
I just don't think that's 

1510
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:08,200
exactly. 
Listen, I'm not. 

1511
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:11,440
Trying to, you know, banish him 
from the NFL for the rest of of 

1512
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:14,200
of his of his life. 
I'm just saying for this 

1513
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:17,240
particular team, it can't work. 
You know what, what he's got to 

1514
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:20,080
do is he's got to resign because
I don't think that they'll force

1515
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,040
him to. 
Although the more the stuff 

1516
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,200
keeps coming in, it's going to 
be impossible maybe to do that. 

1517
01:14:25,480 --> 01:14:27,720
And by the way, the like the 
Patriot, like the New England 

1518
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,560
reporters, I mean, I don't know,
I, I know we spoke about like 

1519
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:35,840
just just, it seemed a little, I
don't know, not that you go into

1520
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,720
attack mode, but you, I think 
they let him off the hook. 

1521
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,240
I just, I didn't think it was I,
I, I don't know, it didn't 

1522
01:14:41,240 --> 01:14:42,600
really resonate with me much 
there. 

1523
01:14:43,240 --> 01:14:46,560
But if the Pats don't hit the 
gas on this, then he's got to 

1524
01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:48,600
know himself that he's, that 
he's going to have to step 

1525
01:14:48,600 --> 01:14:51,560
aside. 
And, and I, I, I actually think 

1526
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:54,600
that that's going to happen. 
I do I I I believe we're going 

1527
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:57,920
to get that alert, you know, 
when I don't know could be 

1528
01:14:57,920 --> 01:14:59,400
later. 
It could be in two weeks, could 

1529
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:03,960
be after something else emerges.
But once she speaks, it's going 

1530
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,240
to make it worse, OK, because 
now she's trying to save 

1531
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,520
herself, even though they very 
well might wind up together down

1532
01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:11,240
the road. 
You know, it's just it's crazy. 

1533
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:16,000
I mean, if there's adna test 
here, and I mean lawsuits and oh

1534
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,920
God, just the, the, the torment 
for the families is, is 

1535
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,800
basically beyond comprehension 
at this point. 

1536
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:26,480
But you know, I mean, if and 
when he does resign or if and 

1537
01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:29,920
when they they do it for him, 
the patriots, you know, go away 

1538
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,640
for a little bit, be quiet, come
back and then start the 

1539
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:37,240
rehabilitation tour. 
You know, and you know, and, and

1540
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,720
and be honest and cop to it. 
And you know, you want to say 

1541
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:43,720
you have some sort of, I don't 
know, addiction, whatever, 

1542
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,440
whatever, whatever you're going 
to say, that's a pacify some 

1543
01:15:46,440 --> 01:15:50,000
people and you could probably 
come back and coach again. 

1544
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,680
I would believe, you know what I
mean? 

1545
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:56,680
I, I think so. 
I, I think AG gets fired. 

1546
01:15:56,680 --> 01:16:01,320
Would I want Rabel for The Jets?
Bring him in, bring him in. 

1547
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:02,960
That's the guy. 
That I wanted. 

1548
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:07,080
I've got to say, I'm shocked. 
That OG news hasn't come out 

1549
01:16:07,080 --> 01:16:08,200
yet. 
No, I'm not. 

1550
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:11,640
That surprised. 
OK, 11:20, no, later in the day.

1551
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:14,240
Yeah, I mean, he might not. 
Have even gotten the test yet? 

1552
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,480
Well, I would. 
Think, you know, let's see, it's

1553
01:16:16,480 --> 01:16:19,080
not like they've got to get on. 
They didn't get on a flight and 

1554
01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,760
to fly out to say, Detroit, All 
right, No. 

1555
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:24,600
So, you know, I don't even know 
if they'll fly to Philly. 

1556
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:25,560
I don't know if they'll take a 
bus. 

1557
01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:27,240
I don't know how they do that. 
I know St. 

1558
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:32,080
John's flies to to DC, which 
surprised me. 

1559
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,640
Did they fly down to Philly this
year? 

1560
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,520
I don't recall. 
I remember last year Philly, I 

1561
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,480
went on my own. 
Either way, it's not like 

1562
01:16:39,480 --> 01:16:41,600
logistics are a real issue 
sometimes that that matters. 

1563
01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:44,280
Now, if it's an X-ray, you know,
they've got the X-ray machine. 

1564
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:47,280
You know, like when Ben Rice got
hurt the other day on Sunday, 

1565
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,080
the game that you went to. 
And you know, hopefully he gets 

1566
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:51,800
back in the line up here soon. 
I don't want to miss these games

1567
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:52,920
here. 
It's going to get in the way of 

1568
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:57,920
of Ben Rice and Aaron Judge 
surpassing Juan Soto and Aaron. 

1569
01:16:58,200 --> 01:17:00,240
Come on. 
I mean, the day I go on this or 

1570
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:04,560
if he hasn't played basically 
since, but they were able to, 

1571
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,320
they have the X-ray machines and
they were able to do that in the

1572
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:08,840
stadium. 
So you get that answer right 

1573
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,600
away is a broken no. 
And then you've got to go deeper

1574
01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,800
dive with the imaging for the 
soft tissue stuff, which what 

1575
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,960
the MRI does, I don't know if 
they have an MRI machine in the 

1576
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:18,760
Garden. 
I don't think that they do. 

1577
01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:23,840
So they will probably let me see
the games tomorrow night. 

1578
01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:28,040
I would think the Knicks will 
practice up in Westchester today

1579
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:32,200
and then obviously right after 
practice, either bus or fly out,

1580
01:17:32,440 --> 01:17:34,680
get in the hotel tonight, do 
shoot around all that stuff, 

1581
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,680
watch a little film. 
I, I would be stunned if we 

1582
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:39,280
don't have some news by 2:00 
here. 

1583
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:41,320
Yeah, I I would be. 
We'll have something. 

1584
01:17:41,720 --> 01:17:42,960
Yeah. 
What are your? 

1585
01:17:43,440 --> 01:17:45,840
What are your thoughts on the 
Volpe yesterday? 

1586
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:48,360
My thoughts are I got ball 
sacked. 

1587
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,080
Here is what my thoughts are. 
It was, it was, it was a, it was

1588
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,440
a fictitious, you know, parody 
account, I guess. 

1589
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,480
No, no. 
The other Volpee just like him, 

1590
01:17:56,480 --> 01:17:58,360
forgetting the two outs and 
stuff like that. 

1591
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:00,800
Oh, not running on that on that 
double I. 

1592
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,480
Don't know what the hell was. 
Going on, I mean, listen, hey, 

1593
01:18:04,480 --> 01:18:06,720
Anne, you know, the one thing 
that one of the things that you 

1594
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:10,720
can do is run and you are a good
base runner, you know, very odd.

1595
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:12,720
Spencer Jones is hitting the 
shit out of the ball. 

1596
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,160
I'm not going to just, you know,
I, I don't think he's going to 

1597
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:16,840
make enough contact at the big 
league level. 

1598
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,760
I just don't. 
But you know, if Stanton's out 

1599
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,280
for a while and this guy keeps 
doing this in the minors, I 

1600
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:26,400
mean, I don't know how you don't
give him a couple of it bats 

1601
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,320
just to see where he's at. 
I mean, I don't know. 

1602
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:30,920
I don't know how you don't. 
It's not like, and I'm happy 

1603
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:32,800
Dominguez is up. 
His speed's a different 

1604
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:36,200
dimension. 
He's hit OK for the right side 

1605
01:18:36,440 --> 01:18:38,880
over for last night. 
So the average, you know, drops 

1606
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,560
because it's not many at bat. 
So if you have one over for a 

1607
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:43,120
night, they're going to go down 
hard. 

1608
01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:44,360
So it looks like he hasn't been 
doing much. 

1609
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:46,400
I think he's influenced a couple
of games here. 

1610
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:51,280
Dominguez, I like what I see, 
but there's got to be some kind 

1611
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,600
of reward for that kind of 
production when you're a a first

1612
01:18:54,600 --> 01:18:56,360
round pick. 
It's not like he's some no name 

1613
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,520
who's 30 years old who's like 
drafted in the 18th round. 

1614
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,200
This guy's got a kind of career 
model like Crash Davis career 

1615
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:04,640
minor league or was hitting 
bombs. 

1616
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,720
I, I would think I, I don't, I 
mean, I don't know. 

1617
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,720
I don't even know what to think 
with Spencer Jones, but I would 

1618
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:14,400
think that he would get a sniff,
even if it's for a week, even if

1619
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:17,080
you try to catch lightning in a 
bottle that he's Kevin Moss for 

1620
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:20,880
a month, you know, give him a 
little look in center feel. 

1621
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:22,840
See, the thing though, is he's a
lefty. 

1622
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:26,280
Like if he was a righty, he'd be
up because then if he was a 

1623
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:31,400
righty, I think he he, he 
profiles, he definitely profiles

1624
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,480
defensively better than 
Dominguez. 

1625
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:37,360
And he can play center. 
And Dominguez I don't think will

1626
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,560
ever play Center for the Yankee.
Barely play left, right. 

1627
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:43,360
He's the agent a lot. 
But because Grisham's a lefty 

1628
01:19:43,680 --> 01:19:46,840
and Spencer Jones is a lefty, 
you're not going to send, you're

1629
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:49,400
not going to sit Grisham against
the righty to play Jones. 

1630
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:51,600
So, you know, maybe it's a 
trade. 

1631
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:54,920
You know, I, I don't know. 
It's still, I was just very 

1632
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:58,400
unclear as to how Jones has has 
any sort of pathway here. 

1633
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:01,680
Now, if Stanton's out a month, 
he still hasn't started jogging.

1634
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:05,480
So he's a slow healer. 
I don't know. 

1635
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:06,920
Yeah. 
And by the way, when that guy 

1636
01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,000
sent in the Super chat there 
about, you know, Eric Glenn gets

1637
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,760
fired, what I take for Abel, you
know, being kind of facetious 

1638
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:14,840
there, I'm like, yeah, bring him
in. 

1639
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:18,560
Good coach, bring him in. 
But no, I mean, just to answer 

1640
01:20:18,560 --> 01:20:22,880
that, I would, I don't know, be 
overly moralistic here, man. 

1641
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,480
I'm looking to win. 
And if he cleans up his if he 

1642
01:20:25,480 --> 01:20:29,040
cleans up his stuff and he goes 
away and you know, I'd I'd be 

1643
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:31,160
open to it, you know, not now I 
wouldn't. 

1644
01:20:31,160 --> 01:20:35,960
But come on. 
I want to win BT Nation, BT 

1645
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:37,840
nation. 
Don't get that too much. 

1646
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:40,840
Love the YouTube live stream. 
Go Yankees. 

1647
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:42,360
Thank you very much. 
I appreciate that. 

1648
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,640
Hopefully you guys checked out 
the the Joe Beningo stuff, which

1649
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:47,960
was money almost two hours with 
Joe. 

1650
01:20:48,600 --> 01:20:52,600
Next week we will get tiki on 
and we will get Aaron Boone on. 

1651
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:55,200
So more and more interviews, 
conversations. 

1652
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:58,320
Pardon me, come to the channel. 
I'm going to ask you a question.

1653
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:04,840
Are the Mets starting to show a 
little pulse here? 

1654
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,280
It's just a little flicker that 
will eventually turn into a 

1655
01:21:09,280 --> 01:21:14,680
little flame. 
I mean, I need to see a whole 

1656
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:16,840
health a lot more before I'm 
giving the Mets anytime on this 

1657
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:18,480
show. 
They don't deserve it, you know,

1658
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:23,080
but at least I'll throw it out 
there a little bit. 

1659
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:27,240
You know, they've won two series
in a row, right? 

1660
01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:30,760
For the first time all year, 
Soto's leading off and and 

1661
01:21:30,760 --> 01:21:34,160
that's worked out OK Ben just 
started to show us some signs. 

1662
01:21:34,160 --> 01:21:36,040
Melendez. 
Melendez looks pretty good. 

1663
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,080
Now if he's your 3 hitter all 
year, that's probably not going 

1664
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:42,120
to be a good thing. 
But you know, I know Lindor was 

1665
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:43,040
at the Knick game the other 
night. 

1666
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:44,840
I don't know what he was 
wearing, but he was at the Knick

1667
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:49,120
game the other night and I, I 
don't think he had a boot on. 

1668
01:21:49,440 --> 01:21:52,920
I, I don't think Lindor is 
playing for at least at I mean, 

1669
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:58,040
and this is this is this I think
is an aggressive timeline. 

1670
01:21:58,320 --> 01:21:59,920
I don't think it's at least a 
month. 

1671
01:22:00,720 --> 01:22:03,240
At least I got to, I got to say 
at least five weeks. 

1672
01:22:03,720 --> 01:22:05,800
I don't see Lindor. 
Well, we won't see Lindor 

1673
01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:07,400
because he's going to have to 
get a rehab. 

1674
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,320
And he's obviously really jacked
up. 

1675
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,880
Like the Mets were very honest, 
like right away. 

1676
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:14,760
Mendoza's like this is not the 
same as Soto. 

1677
01:22:14,760 --> 01:22:16,520
This is this is different. 
He's going to be out a long 

1678
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,560
time. 
So it's going to be months, 

1679
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:20,920
plural. 
But you know, I, I don't, I 

1680
01:22:20,920 --> 01:22:24,080
don't want to just ignore it 
that the Mets have won a couple 

1681
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:28,400
of games in a row. 
Peralta, you know, did his job 

1682
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,720
putting up zeros. 
I just like to see him. 

1683
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:32,880
He only went 5 though. 
And I know the weather's been 

1684
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:36,000
awful out there through 92 
pitches over 5. 

1685
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:38,960
I mean, I'd like to see Peralta.
I mean, can, can you give the, 

1686
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:43,320
can you give the Mets a bullpen 
a lead, you know, 212 nothing. 1

1687
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,600
zip in the in the 7th inning 
with an out or two. 

1688
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:48,680
I mean, can you, can you give a 
little depth here? 

1689
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,120
Peralta, he's just, he's got to 
be better. 

1690
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:56,280
He's got to and I don't know if 
he will be like Peralta was a 

1691
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,080
guy who didn't go very long in 
games in Milwaukee. 

1692
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:00,880
And I like Peralta. 
That was a good move. 

1693
01:23:00,880 --> 01:23:03,680
I really did. 
But he he's got to he's got to 

1694
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:05,720
be more than this, just has to 
be. 

1695
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:10,600
But the Mets did win good stuff.
You know, problem is you get an 

1696
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,000
absolutely boat race by the 
Braves, who are boat racing 

1697
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:15,560
everybody here. 
I mean, they're burying people, 

1698
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:17,120
right? 
The Mets are 11 out. 

1699
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:19,840
And listen, this is the kind of 
thing, right? 

1700
01:23:20,720 --> 01:23:22,800
Oh, I can't stand the wild card.
No, it's not. 

1701
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:25,840
It's not the way it should be. 
If you can't get in, you know, 

1702
01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:27,360
by winning the division, you 
shouldn't. 

1703
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:31,160
All right, Got it. 
And I don't hear many Mets fans 

1704
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,920
saying that, But I don't really 
even hear many people saying 

1705
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,280
that too much anymore. 
But there was resistance when 

1706
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:40,200
the wild card was first dropped.
If there was no wild card, there

1707
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:41,880
would be nothing to say about 
the Mets. 

1708
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,000
Now. 
That's like, I'm not even going 

1709
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:47,360
to start fixating on wild card 
races yet. 

1710
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,440
But I will give you a very brief
snapshot as to why. 

1711
01:23:51,440 --> 01:23:56,440
Trying to be optimistic here. 
There is a little flicker, a 

1712
01:23:56,440 --> 01:24:01,280
little speck, a little piece of 
lint in terms of hope for the 

1713
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,520
Mets. 
You just got to keep chipping 

1714
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:05,960
away, man. 
And if you can just, you know, 

1715
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:09,960
win a couple of more series and 
get that winning percentage into

1716
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:15,800
the low 40 percentile, which 
they're not there yet, you know,

1717
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:19,000
you, you, you could look up. 
And then maybe in a very 

1718
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:23,120
optimistic world, Lindor's back 
and some of these other kids who

1719
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:25,920
were crushing it, crushing it in
the minors, maybe one of them 

1720
01:24:25,920 --> 01:24:28,840
gets a call and and deliver 
something you didn't expect, you

1721
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,840
know, you know, I love McClain. 
Peterson's been pretty good in 

1722
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:36,320
relief. 
Benj is starting to show some 

1723
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:37,720
signs. 
And I, I, I like Benj. 

1724
01:24:37,720 --> 01:24:40,160
I said that from day one, Boy, I
hit a home run his first game, 

1725
01:24:40,160 --> 01:24:42,600
But you know, I was like this 
this kid's a ball player. 

1726
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,560
He he's a ball player. 
He can run, you can throw, he 

1727
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,440
can field. 
You know, he's got a nice 

1728
01:24:47,440 --> 01:24:49,480
day-to-day pitch to pitch 
presence. 

1729
01:24:49,480 --> 01:24:52,240
So even when he wasn't hitting, 
I'm like, I still like him. 

1730
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,280
He's a baseball player. 
So that's good. 

1731
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:58,200
You know, at least for now, the 
noise is quieted around Mendoza.

1732
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,520
To me, a vote of confidence 
means nothing. 

1733
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:04,840
It's just a a a brief respite 
from the noise, just a little 

1734
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:08,360
stabilizing of the craziness 
that was taking over the Mets 

1735
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,480
season. 
But again, back-to-back series 

1736
01:25:10,480 --> 01:25:12,200
wins and we'll see where it 
goes. 

1737
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:14,600
And I know they got the Yanks 
coming up here. 

1738
01:25:14,600 --> 01:25:16,240
Where were they after that? 
They've got all right. 

1739
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:20,080
So let's say like if you can 
sweep the Rockies, right and you

1740
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:21,360
play today, I think it's an 
afternoon game. 

1741
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,680
I'm pretty sure it is. 
They've got 3 in Arizona, three 

1742
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:27,160
with the Tigers, no school ball.
All right. 

1743
01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:30,560
And then you got next weekend, 
you got three with the Yankees. 

1744
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:34,960
So where will the Mets be by the
time the first Subway Series 

1745
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:38,680
rolls around? 
Let's see. 

1746
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,080
I think that I'm going to give 
you a guess here. 

1747
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:45,840
Let's say they're going to lose 
today. 

1748
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:49,160
So they will take two out of 
three with the rocks. 

1749
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:53,400
They will lose 2 out of three in
Arizona. 

1750
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:56,600
They will win 2 out of three 
against the Tigers. 

1751
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:05,440
So that'll be, let me see, 
123455 and seven in the next 

1752
01:26:05,440 --> 01:26:07,160
games. 
Did I have that right, 3-6, 

1753
01:26:07,160 --> 01:26:09,960
yeah, Five and seven. 
You know what I'm going to say 

1754
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:12,160
6:00 and 6:00, I'm going to do a
little bit better than that, a 

1755
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:15,760
little bit better than that. 
Not hemorrhaging in, not 

1756
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,080
crawling in, certainly not 
walking through the front door 

1757
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:23,360
with your chest puffed out. 
But I feel for the reasons I've 

1758
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,760
given you and it's worked out a 
little bit with Soto as a lead 

1759
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:27,440
off now. 
Like what Soto said, I'll do 

1760
01:26:27,440 --> 01:26:29,240
whatever it takes. 
Wherever he needs me, I'm good 

1761
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:31,000
for it. 
Soto could anywhere. 

1762
01:26:31,080 --> 01:26:34,480
That's the least of your issues,
but maybe a little renewed hope 

1763
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:38,440
and a little renewed purpose and
the direction Keith is back in 

1764
01:26:38,440 --> 01:26:40,800
the booth, you know, maybe 
that's a little bit of a good 

1765
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:43,640
thing there for you. 
I'd be happy just to be in the 

1766
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:46,320
wild card mix. 
Well, I mean, you kind of are. 

1767
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:49,720
I mean, so I said I'm not going 
to get much into the wild card, 

1768
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,120
but I mean, everybody, I mean, 
the Mets have the second worst 

1769
01:26:52,120 --> 01:26:54,480
record in baseball. 
I believe it's second worst. 

1770
01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:58,480
And you know, the saving grace 
is that they're they're only 

1771
01:26:58,480 --> 01:27:01,040
only 5 1/2 out of that last wild
card spot. 

1772
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:03,280
Now. 
I did, I think that's a little 

1773
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:05,600
reassuring in some sense. 
Like, all right, a lot of 

1774
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:07,720
baseball to go a lot of time to 
make this up. 

1775
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:09,480
Things could also continue to go
sideways. 

1776
01:27:09,480 --> 01:27:11,920
But I'm going to be optimistic 
today because they won a couple 

1777
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:14,920
of the series here. 
But the problem is you got 9 

1778
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:17,960
teams ahead of you, and that's 
what I wouldn't even look at. 

1779
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:21,560
How many games behind are you? 
How many teams you have to jump?

1780
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:24,400
So the circum, and it's so 
early, my God. 

1781
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:29,920
But the circumstances of 
evaluating the wild card for me 

1782
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:34,680
are a little more complicated 
than, all right, 5 1/2 up. 

1783
01:27:34,680 --> 01:27:37,320
Any team could make that up. 
Conceivably, sure, and the Mets 

1784
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:39,400
could. 
But the Mets have to play a 

1785
01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:41,640
whole hell of a lot better. 
And maybe they're starting to, 

1786
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:43,960
but then they need a lot of 
teams in front of them. 

1787
01:27:44,480 --> 01:27:47,160
The stumble. 
That's just, you know, I, I I 

1788
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:49,080
wouldn't bet on that. 
You know, I'd probably just lay 

1789
01:27:49,080 --> 01:27:50,480
out. 
Wouldn't bet against it. 

1790
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:52,920
Wouldn't bet for it. 
Who's on the horn here? 

1791
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:54,800
What do we got there, Jay? 
Next up, What do we got? 

1792
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:57,880
Frankie from Monroe. 
Frankie. 

1793
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:00,000
Frankie is on a leash. 
Frank, What's going on, dude? 

1794
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:01,040
How are you? 
Hey BT. 

1795
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:04,120
What's happening man? 
I I, I really wanted to talk 

1796
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:09,880
about Beningo, but before I I do
you know in 1984 the Tigers 

1797
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:12,760
started out 35 and 5? 
Yep. 

1798
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:14,480
Awesome team. 
So I remember that. 

1799
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:16,880
I remember that team very well. 
Yes, there was. 

1800
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:21,200
No reason for anybody that was a
baseball fan in the rest of the 

1801
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:25,760
division to put their TV on at 
night and I think that is the 

1802
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:31,360
best thing about the wild card 
cuz it keeps people interested 

1803
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,400
that are not in first place. 
I agree with you. 

1804
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:37,480
So. 
So you know that that season was

1805
01:28:37,480 --> 01:28:38,960
unbelievable, man. 
That team didn't. 

1806
01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:41,600
By the way, didn't Willie 
Hernandez win the Cy Young and 

1807
01:28:41,600 --> 01:28:43,760
the MVP that year? 
Yeah, Yeah, he did. 

1808
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:45,480
Their pitcher, lefty reliever, 
Yeah. 

1809
01:28:45,800 --> 01:28:49,080
Trammell Whitaker down. 
That was, that was, that was 

1810
01:28:49,080 --> 01:28:50,800
Morris. 
That bet. 

1811
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:54,000
The best double blade 
combination I've seen in in my 

1812
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:54,880
lifetime. 
Wow. 

1813
01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:55,600
Well. 
Hold on. 

1814
01:28:55,600 --> 01:28:57,440
And I'm a Yankee. 
Guy, I'm a How old are you? 

1815
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:01,000
How old are you? 
I'm 65, so you've never seen a 

1816
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:02,120
better. 
Double play come. 

1817
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:04,880
I'm not saying that you're wrong
than Whitaker and travel ever I 

1818
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:07,640
think. 
That if I, if I, you know, 

1819
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:09,280
actually. 
I I. 

1820
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:13,280
I don't know ever, but at that 
time, certainly they were the 

1821
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:14,880
best. 
Yeah, I mean, I'm just trying to

1822
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:16,000
think out. 
No, they were. 

1823
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:17,520
And Whitaker was the lefty would
pop. 

1824
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:19,720
Some people think he should be 
in the Hall of Fame travel with 

1825
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:24,920
an MVPI, think in 87. 
Some people might say, how about

1826
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,760
Joe Morgan and Conception with 
Big Red, but conception. 

1827
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,720
But conception didn't hit like 
that and I saw that. 

1828
01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:34,480
Yeah, but yeah, but back then, 
BT your shortstop and your 

1829
01:29:34,480 --> 01:29:38,720
second baseman were were were 
240 hitters. 

1830
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:40,960
I know. 
It's not like today, no, I know 

1831
01:29:41,240 --> 01:29:43,000
where these. 
Kids are hitting, you know, 

1832
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,640
thirty home runs at shortstop. 
Like I know that. 

1833
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:48,560
Was you know. 
That was very rare back then. 

1834
01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,040
Except travel a little bit and a
little bit of cow ripped in. 

1835
01:29:51,160 --> 01:29:54,320
No, I know some guys. 
Obviously, but but it wasn't the

1836
01:29:54,320 --> 01:29:55,960
norm for sure. 
Nope. 

1837
01:29:56,480 --> 01:29:58,480
You know, but. 
Get I, I want to get back to 

1838
01:29:58,480 --> 01:30:02,320
Beningo, dude, that guy told my 
story yesterday. 

1839
01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:05,440
Dude. 
Like, I, I think if I met 

1840
01:30:05,440 --> 01:30:10,120
Beningo in a bar in 1983, we'd 
still be friends today. 

1841
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:12,720
Because I'm going to tell you 
how the conversation when it 

1842
01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:14,560
went. 
Hey bro, how you doing? 

1843
01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:15,520
Yeah. 
What's up, bro? 

1844
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:17,120
You watching the Mets? 
Yeah, bro. 

1845
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,040
They're pissing me off. 
You holding? 

1846
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:20,560
Yeah. 
I'll meet you in the bathroom in

1847
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:21,680
5 minutes. 
That's how. 

1848
01:30:21,680 --> 01:30:24,400
The fucking conversation. 
Would have went and we would. 

1849
01:30:24,400 --> 01:30:28,880
Have still been friends today 
and he he went to a small school

1850
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:30,680
out West I went to. 
AI. 

1851
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,440
Went to a Division Three school 
in Nebraska. 

1852
01:30:33,440 --> 01:30:35,160
Bro why? 
To play. 

1853
01:30:35,160 --> 01:30:37,200
Baseball and basketball. 
Wow. 

1854
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:41,120
Right dude? 
So listen, when I got there to 

1855
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:45,640
school, terminated the baseball 
program because of lack of 

1856
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:48,520
funds, but but I played 
basketball. 

1857
01:30:48,840 --> 01:30:53,040
I stayed for one year. 
BT you know why those people 

1858
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:55,360
didn't want anything to do with 
me? 

1859
01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:59,760
Italian guy from Jersey black 
hair, dark skin. 

1860
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:05,160
Those those corn fed farm boys 
didn't want me near their women 

1861
01:31:05,160 --> 01:31:06,440
dude. 
Well, what about the? 

1862
01:31:06,440 --> 01:31:07,880
Women. 
Did they forget about what their

1863
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:09,080
guys? 
Did the women watch you? 

1864
01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:10,400
Nope. 
They dude. 

1865
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:12,560
They were afraid. 
That surprises me. 

1866
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:16,200
Yeah, Joe said the same thing. 
And I'm like, I don't know, I 

1867
01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:19,480
feel like the accident and the. 
I know that I. 

1868
01:31:19,480 --> 01:31:23,360
Was not shy with the girls, bro.
I had, I had game. 

1869
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:25,960
They did not want any. 
You know what I did? 

1870
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:29,000
I wound up hanging out with the 
football players from Passaic 

1871
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:33,880
and and Milwaukee and the inner 
city kids, brothers hung out 

1872
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:37,320
like all year long. 
We had our own little parties, 

1873
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:41,640
our own little dance parties. 
Nice, but not with, not with the

1874
01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:42,840
big. 
Not with the big the big 

1875
01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:44,400
whitey's, not the big farm. 
Yeah, I. 

1876
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:47,400
Got you. 
They didn't want. 

1877
01:31:47,400 --> 01:31:51,320
Me near him and he's all right. 
Well, and then he left. 

1878
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:56,040
Beningo told my, like, he 
basically told my story. 

1879
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:59,680
And the other thing that that 
you, you probably heard from 

1880
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:02,200
your father, too. 
We used to listen to ball games 

1881
01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:04,120
during the day. 
Oh, yeah. 

1882
01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:06,240
I played. 
I played football in high 

1883
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:08,520
school. 
And during the playoffs, we had 

1884
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:10,720
a boom box. 
Remember when the boom box? 

1885
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:12,560
Yeah, yeah. 
We would put the boom. 

1886
01:32:12,640 --> 01:32:16,040
Boom box on the bleachers, have 
football practice and have 

1887
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:18,440
Rizzuto blasting out of the boom
box. 

1888
01:32:18,440 --> 01:32:20,480
Did you really? 
I I. 

1889
01:32:20,480 --> 01:32:22,840
Couldn't wait to get home so I 
could see the end of the game. 

1890
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:24,480
What high school? 
Frank I I. 

1891
01:32:24,480 --> 01:32:29,160
Went to school in Morris County 
up N Jefferson Township, but I'm

1892
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:32,280
from Patterson originally and 
and that's kind of where I grew 

1893
01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:33,080
up. 
Gotcha. 

1894
01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:36,040
And play ball. 
But anyway, yeah, so Beningo, I 

1895
01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:39,440
I I love that guy. 
We and I worked in the city. 

1896
01:32:39,440 --> 01:32:42,160
I work nights. 
And of course, who did we listen

1897
01:32:42,160 --> 01:32:45,960
to while we were working? 
Beningo. 

1898
01:32:46,240 --> 01:32:48,600
I know he he was. 
Great. 

1899
01:32:48,600 --> 01:32:51,520
And a lot of the guys I worked 
with were Met fans, so Beningo 

1900
01:32:51,520 --> 01:32:53,480
was like their guy. 
Yep, Yep. 

1901
01:32:53,480 --> 01:32:55,360
Well, listen man, awesome, Good,
good call. 

1902
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:57,400
Glad you enjoyed it. 
I I knew everybody would enjoy 

1903
01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:58,920
Joe being Joe. 
Thank you for the call there, 

1904
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:01,440
Frankie. 
I mean, listen and I one thing 

1905
01:33:01,440 --> 01:33:04,280
that came up, I asked Joe, I'm 
like, and I thought he did a 

1906
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:06,280
great job and I thought Evan did
a really good job of this as 

1907
01:33:06,280 --> 01:33:09,080
well. 
You know, Joe, devout Jet fan, 

1908
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:11,440
devout Met fan. 
Evan, same deal. 

1909
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:16,080
Not a Knicks fan like Joe, but 
you know, Jets, Mets and, and I 

1910
01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:18,000
thought that those guys really 
did a good job. 

1911
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:22,960
And it's it's easy when you host
a show to talk about what you 

1912
01:33:22,960 --> 01:33:27,400
want to talk about, you know, 
but it's important to talk about

1913
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:30,880
what needs to be talked about. 
And you know, there's an old 

1914
01:33:30,880 --> 01:33:31,840
expression. 
Play the hits. 

1915
01:33:31,840 --> 01:33:34,400
One of my old P DS would say 
that play the hits, man. 

1916
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:37,400
And play the hits means, Oh, 
listen about Michael Jackson 

1917
01:33:37,400 --> 01:33:39,840
song. 
Oh, you know, Pearl Jam song. 

1918
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:43,240
What whatever generation of 
music we're hitting, play the 

1919
01:33:43,240 --> 01:33:45,160
hits. 
I know people consume music very

1920
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:48,200
differently now, but back in the
day, hey, we're going to keep 

1921
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:50,800
spinning the same record because
everybody wants to hear it and 

1922
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:52,360
they don't have devices to 
download. 

1923
01:33:52,360 --> 01:33:56,000
So, you know, like an old 
classic rock station, we're 

1924
01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:58,760
going to play the music that we 
know that you want to hang out 

1925
01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:01,000
to and listen to. 
So we know that you're going to 

1926
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:03,480
listen to us what you're going 
to drive up the quarter hours, 

1927
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:06,200
which is going to get us high 
ratings, which will get us more 

1928
01:34:06,200 --> 01:34:07,960
advertising dollars, play the 
hits. 

1929
01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:11,120
Now it's easy to say that it's 
very and it's a very accurate 

1930
01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:15,560
premise, but I remember there 
were times like even sometimes 

1931
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:18,680
recently, like some people would
say, man, why do you guys do the

1932
01:34:18,680 --> 01:34:21,320
same show on the fan? 
Like we guys basically do a four

1933
01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:23,360
hour show. 
This like the same topic for 

1934
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:25,080
four hours, which is not 
actually true. 

1935
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:29,440
I thought that that was unfair 
and and not accurate, but that 

1936
01:34:29,600 --> 01:34:33,760
that is, you know, a a part of 
playing the hits because not 

1937
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:38,240
everybody's in their car, you 
know, consuming the radio for 

1938
01:34:38,240 --> 01:34:41,240
every second of every show. 
People are people are mobile, 

1939
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:43,800
people are banging on the app. 
OK, let me see what you know, BT

1940
01:34:43,800 --> 01:34:45,960
and Sal are up to. 
Let me see what Evan and Tiki 

1941
01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:47,880
are up to. 
Let me see whatever it might be,

1942
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:50,160
Right. 
So you got to play the hits. 

1943
01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:53,440
And I thought that Joe and Evan 
always did a really good job, 

1944
01:34:53,440 --> 01:34:57,240
even though we knew who they 
loved and we knew who they died 

1945
01:34:57,240 --> 01:35:00,000
with and lived with, right? 
But I thought they always did a 

1946
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:02,920
great job with the I think Evan 
still does a great job with the 

1947
01:35:02,920 --> 01:35:04,320
Yankees. 
I just think Evan's fair. 

1948
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:06,640
I think he's good. 
But those guys as a team, that's

1949
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:09,760
so that came up as well. 
And before Evan was his 

1950
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:14,120
partnership with Sid, which was 
completely different than his 

1951
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:16,960
partnership with Evan, but 
equally and very different and 

1952
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:21,000
sounded different. 
It was different wild times with

1953
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:23,600
them. 
And and yeah, I like Sid so and 

1954
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:25,760
I know Joe likes it too. 
Crazy shit, man. 

1955
01:35:25,760 --> 01:35:28,160
Joe Sid was out of his mind. 
He still is. 

1956
01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:30,880
Who do we got on the horn here? 
What do we got there, Jay? 

1957
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:32,480
It's still. 
Frankie. 

1958
01:35:32,960 --> 01:35:34,480
Well, it's Frankie. 
Why is Frankie still here? 

1959
01:35:34,920 --> 01:35:37,280
Hey, he's chilling. 
He's getting the private look. 

1960
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:40,760
What? 
We got a, we got a, we have the 

1961
01:35:40,760 --> 01:35:44,560
green room now for, you know, 
special callers when they get 

1962
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:46,960
off the phone now they just hang
in the digital green room. 

1963
01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:48,960
No, he's just. 
We had another call. 

1964
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:51,400
What's going on? 
No, he ain't let me. 

1965
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:53,480
I mean, let me check. 
I don't think we have anyone 

1966
01:35:53,480 --> 01:35:54,200
lined up. 
It's all good. 

1967
01:35:54,280 --> 01:35:55,480
It's all good. 
I pretty much got everything I 

1968
01:35:55,480 --> 01:35:57,960
needed to get out to today. 
Did you see? 

1969
01:35:58,200 --> 01:36:01,840
I'd like, if you haven't seen 
this yet, I'd like for you to 

1970
01:36:01,840 --> 01:36:04,360
watch it and Give your opinion 
yesterday because I know this is

1971
01:36:04,360 --> 01:36:07,600
going to get you up. 
They see Jalen Brown's live 

1972
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:12,120
stream after Game 7, no? 
I, I saw that he said he he 

1973
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:14,120
would love to be a Celtic 
forever, something like that. 

1974
01:36:14,400 --> 01:36:17,080
Oh man. 
That was in his apology live 

1975
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:21,520
stream yesterday, 2 days ago. 
He live streamed right after 

1976
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:22,360
game seven. 
Dude. 

1977
01:36:22,400 --> 01:36:24,720
OK, I'm going to send you some 
clips from this because this is 

1978
01:36:24,840 --> 01:36:28,240
this is something that'll get 
you heated where he's he's 

1979
01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:31,360
complaining about the refs. 
He's like complain, he's 

1980
01:36:31,360 --> 01:36:35,240
complaining about and bead and 
stuff like that on a twitch live

1981
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:37,320
on this on you and me right 
here. 

1982
01:36:37,520 --> 01:36:42,240
He's like on YouTube, on Twitch,
complaining about the refs and 

1983
01:36:42,240 --> 01:36:44,960
then he says something kind of 
shady. 

1984
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:47,440
What he's like, he said. 
This is my favorite. 

1985
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:51,320
This has been my favorite season
of my career so far. 

1986
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:53,400
Why? 
Because Tatum was gone for most 

1987
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:55,320
of that's what I'm. 
That and there's, there's what 

1988
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,840
people are, you know, what 
people are now reading into. 

1989
01:36:57,880 --> 01:36:59,760
OK, I'm going to check. 
It out hit me up. 

1990
01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:01,400
You don't have to send it. 
I'll find it myself. 

1991
01:37:01,400 --> 01:37:05,400
That'll be easy enough the. 
I'm more so curious, just your 

1992
01:37:05,400 --> 01:37:09,160
thoughts on the optics of an 
athlete going on a live stream 

1993
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:11,880
after they lose a game seven? 
I think it's probably. 

1994
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:14,400
The dumbest thing you could do, 
I think it's now you've got the 

1995
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:17,600
right to do it, but just be 
prepared to deal with whatever 

1996
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,120
might come your way. 
I just think that emotionally 

1997
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:22,000
you're not in the right space. 
You're just not. 

1998
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:24,600
You just there's no way. 
Remember when Antonio Brown was,

1999
01:37:25,160 --> 01:37:27,600
I think it was on Facebook live 
streaming and and the Steelers 

2000
01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:29,240
locker, man, Mike Tomlin flipped
out. 

2001
01:37:29,680 --> 01:37:31,560
Like, dude, you can't come on, 
man. 

2002
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:35,440
So party of four, Jaylen Brown's
party of four. 

2003
01:37:35,440 --> 01:37:38,520
Please report to the first tee. 
You are up. 

2004
01:37:39,840 --> 01:37:44,680
Yeah, that's where he's at. 
I've got nasty competitor. 

2005
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:46,760
That was funny. 
I didn't get it at first, hit 

2006
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:48,400
you a little bit. 
Late there, huh? 

2007
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:50,680
Throws at Pebble Beach. 
Yeah, I know a. 

2008
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:52,440
Party of four Brown, you're on 
the tee. 

2009
01:37:52,440 --> 01:37:53,880
Party of four Brown, you're on 
the tee. 

2010
01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:55,760
He's not even in. 
Cancun. 

2011
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:58,480
He's in like, Dorchester, MA, 
wherever. 

2012
01:37:58,480 --> 01:38:02,200
Wellesley, MA, in his living 
room doing a live stream. 

2013
01:38:02,200 --> 01:38:02,920
Well, I'm pretty. 
Sure. 

2014
01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:05,600
That Jaylen Brown's going to be 
somewhere really nice really 

2015
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:07,440
soon with somebody that he's 
really into. 

2016
01:38:07,440 --> 01:38:11,560
I don't know if he's married, so
if he is great, No 0 shade 

2017
01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:13,920
towards Jaylen Brown. 
I mean, he's a great competitor.

2018
01:38:13,920 --> 01:38:16,720
Great. 
Guy too, yeah, no, I, I like. 

2019
01:38:16,720 --> 01:38:19,360
Jaylen I I've got nothing to bad
to say nothing bad to say about 

2020
01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:22,520
Jaylen Brown, but you know, in 
terms of, you know, fired up the

2021
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:25,160
the live stream after a 
devastating game seven loss. 

2022
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:28,560
Probably not advisable, although
he is a smart guy. 

2023
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:33,440
Like I, I just have a feeling 
like, you know, like if say if 

2024
01:38:33,440 --> 01:38:37,040
this was available when when AI 
was playing like it found when I

2025
01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:39,280
was like that. 
He'd be John Moran, yeah. 

2026
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:43,120
Or Moran to like, I think it's, 
I think Jalen Brown's probably a

2027
01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:47,040
little bit more and he does it. 
Every single NBA game. 

2028
01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:49,120
So there, there's the thing 
Jalen does. 

2029
01:38:49,200 --> 01:38:51,480
He does it. 
That's his thing is every game, 

2030
01:38:51,480 --> 01:38:53,240
every does a live stream. 
It's crazy. 

2031
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:55,000
Holy shit, how? 
How long does he go for? 

2032
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:58,400
Like an hour. 
Hour or two man like he does 

2033
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:01,360
like his he does his thing. 
He does like a little sports 

2034
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:02,040
show. 
Wow. 

2035
01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:05,840
After the after the games or 
before them Usually after 

2036
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:06,760
though. 
OK. 

2037
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:09,680
I remember Tink and I had him on
the show when he was really just

2038
01:39:09,680 --> 01:39:11,200
getting the league. 
Yeah, yeah. 

2039
01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:13,480
Can we get a? 
Yo, we need to figure out a way 

2040
01:39:13,480 --> 01:39:15,160
to get them here. 
We used to get. 

2041
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:17,600
Everybody on the show, man, when
we were doing the national show,

2042
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:21,800
the draft that had Baker 
Mayfield, Oh. 

2043
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:22,960
Man. 
Yeah, Josh. 

2044
01:39:22,960 --> 01:39:28,440
Allen, Sam Darnold. 
Obviously there was like 5 of 

2045
01:39:28,440 --> 01:39:30,040
them. 
Jesus Darnold. 

2046
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:36,200
Baker Allen, Josh Rosen from 
UCLA, We had literally every one

2047
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:39,600
of them on the show. 
Like, like leading up to the 

2048
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:41,560
threat. 
Yeah, we had. 

2049
01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:43,880
We had Saquon on the show. 
That's why I'm really looking 

2050
01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:45,640
forward to having Tiki on the 
show next week, man. 

2051
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:50,040
We had Saquon on once where he 
had committed to the interview. 

2052
01:39:50,040 --> 01:39:53,760
He was still at Penn State and 
he called us and did the 

2053
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:57,240
interview from a stairwell in 
the building where his major 

2054
01:39:57,240 --> 01:40:01,840
was. 
That's the kind of young. 

2055
01:40:01,840 --> 01:40:05,880
Man, Saquon is so we had a mole.
We had all the MMA champions 

2056
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:10,480
roll through WWE, Shaq. 
Shaq came out a couple of times.

2057
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:14,160
Yeah, we, no, we had our guest 
list was Archie Griffin brought 

2058
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:18,320
the Heisman Trophy in one year. 
Oh, man, It was it was odd, man.

2059
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:21,360
So I was with TIK for a decade. 
We're going to have a lot to 

2060
01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:22,600
talk about. 
Yeah, I think. 

2061
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:26,400
I need to watch more from that 
show, like more highlights from 

2062
01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:29,080
you and Tiki. 
I haven't seen a ton of videos 

2063
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:30,480
of that. 
Yeah, and. 

2064
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:32,520
You know, welcome to the show, 
my guy. 

2065
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:35,040
My, you know, my long time 
partner, my friend Tiki Barber. 

2066
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:36,280
Like, of course, Giants. 
Great. 

2067
01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:37,240
Yeah. 
Tiki. 

2068
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:39,520
First question, why are you 
still at the fan? 

2069
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:42,840
And I'm not. 
I'm totally kidding. 

2070
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:44,560
No, I. 
Cannot I mean that is going to 

2071
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:47,520
be listen that Joe B was great 
man. 

2072
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:50,120
I think the tiki is going to be 
awesome. 

2073
01:40:50,120 --> 01:40:51,120
It is. 
It is. 

2074
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:52,960
It is. 
It's going to be totally 

2075
01:40:52,960 --> 01:40:54,840
different. 
I don't think Tiki was dropping 

2076
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:56,840
acid in Chicago. 
Wandering the streets. 

2077
01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:58,320
Hell no. 
You know I can. 

2078
01:40:58,320 --> 01:41:01,520
Promise you that didn't happen, 
but no, no Tiki's. 

2079
01:41:02,240 --> 01:41:03,600
It's going to be a money 
conversation. 

2080
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:06,440
So we'll get that up next week. 
Aaron Boone next week as well. 

2081
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:08,880
If you can slap on The Jets 
collective tonight. 

2082
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:10,800
We got this combo today. 
Pardon me today. 

2083
01:41:11,160 --> 01:41:16,840
Good job, Jay 230 myself, Jake 
Asman, Rich Samini episode #7

So hop on that. 

2085
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:22,480
If you're a big Jets fan, 
obviously it's it's all Jets, 

2086
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:25,440
you know, occasionally wander 
into like what the bills are 

2087
01:41:25,440 --> 01:41:27,760
doing or the Dolphins or the 
Pats or even the Giants. 

2088
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:29,800
You know, like the Dexter 
Lawrence stuff has come up a 

2089
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:31,280
little like a little bit when 
that happened. 

2090
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:34,960
But it's 95% Jets like it. 
Subscribe and check it out. 

2091
01:41:34,960 --> 01:41:37,840
We do once a week once the 
season it starts, we'll do twice

2092
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:40,840
a week. 
So reacting to games, previewing

2093
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:43,880
games. 
It's it's really like it's it's 

2094
01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:45,640
going to be a big show. 
I love it. 

2095
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:48,000
I think it's we're definitely 
headed in the right direction. 

2096
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:51,000
So I want to thank you guys for 
being with me today. 

2097
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,360
Awesome job, J Rod, good work 
out of you. 

2098
01:41:53,960 --> 01:41:55,800
We'll see what that just sounded
like Mad Dog. 

2099
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:57,440
Good work out of you, appreciate
it. 

2100
01:41:58,080 --> 01:41:59,600
I didn't. 
Even try to sound like that. 

2101
01:41:59,600 --> 01:42:01,960
I, I, I, I don't have any Mad 
Dog in the impersonations, 

2102
01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:03,480
that's for sure. 
I don't have many impersonations

2103
01:42:03,480 --> 01:42:05,320
at all. 
I mean, really Joe's the only 

2104
01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:08,520
one that I do because it's 
basically one syllable, bro. 

2105
01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:12,400
I mean, anybody can say that. 
I'm not an impersonation guy. 

2106
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:15,240
So have a great rest of your 
Wednesday. 

2107
01:42:15,240 --> 01:42:17,240
It's not, it's not wet in the 
Northeast. 

2108
01:42:17,240 --> 01:42:19,240
Yesterday was a little sloppy. 
Sun is out. 

2109
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:22,200
So see what's going on with that
and coach my daughter's team 

2110
01:42:22,200 --> 01:42:23,920
tonight and rec. 
Maybe she'll get back on the 

2111
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:24,840
mound. 
We'll see. 

2112
01:42:25,880 --> 01:42:27,720
We shall see about that. 
What else? 

2113
01:42:27,720 --> 01:42:30,080
No Knicks tonight? 
See what the Mets do? 

2114
01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:31,520
Yankees. 
I must see the Yankees bounce 

2115
01:42:31,520 --> 01:42:34,080
back. 
They just can't beat Nivaldi. 

2116
01:42:34,080 --> 01:42:36,840
It's absolutely ridiculous. 
Anything else that I missed 

2117
01:42:36,840 --> 01:42:38,640
here? 
Hit the Rabel Rossini stuff? 

2118
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:42,520
Nope, that's it. 
And you know, listen me, I will 

2119
01:42:42,520 --> 01:42:46,840
leave open the door slightly 
ajar if there is very ominous 

2120
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:49,400
news about OGI. 
Might slap on a live at some 

2121
01:42:49,400 --> 01:42:52,120
point just to give you a quick 
live reaction to that. 

2122
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:55,320
Maybe I would have to think 
we'll get something by two. 

2123
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:59,080
I mean, if it's really grave and
and again really ominous, maybe 

2124
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:00,720
I'll do that. 
Otherwise I'll see you guys 

2125
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:03,160
tomorrow at 10. 
Bounce around the channel, check

2126
01:43:03,160 --> 01:43:05,800
out the Beningo stuff, check out
the Stephen A stuff, check out 

2127
01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:07,560
the Michael Kay stuff, which was
great. 

2128
01:43:08,440 --> 01:43:10,960
You know, familiarize yourself 
with a lot of good stuff if 

2129
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,440
you're new to the channel. 
So appreciate the calls. 

2130
01:43:13,440 --> 01:43:16,320
Have an outstanding Wednesday. 
Catch you tomorrow, hopefully 

2131
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:18,400
not later with OG tomorrow at 
10. 

2132
01:43:18,440 --> 01:43:30,000
Peace. 
This is on leash. 

2133
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:31,240
Are you listening? 
Can you hear me? 

2134
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:32,720

2135

Hear me? 
This is on leash. 

2137
01:43:35,040 --> 01:43:36,240
Are you listening? 
Can you hear me?

01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:37,760

This is on leash. 
Are you listening?
