1 00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,040 This is on leash Are you listening? 2 00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:12,960 Can you hear me? Hear me? 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,600 This is on leash. Are you listening? 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:15,520 Can you hear me? Hear me? 5 00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,080 This is on leash Are you listening? 6 00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:18,000 Can you hear me? Hear me? 7 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,600 This is on leash Are you listening? 8 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:27,800 Can you hear me? Well, that might be a first. 9 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,880 We're actually early today. I I don't, I I don't know what 10 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,040 to tell some of you people. I don't know what to tell some 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,720 people who don't understand or don't really possess the ability 12 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,880 to separate emotion from logic. All right, so obviously, I'm 13 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,280 going to start with the Geno Smith stuff. 14 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,680 Yeah, I know Geno's back. All right, cue the punch lines. 15 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:47,960 All right, Jets were a national joke. 16 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,080 I understand this. When was the last very simple 17 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,560 question, but maybe the easiest question that I've asked you 18 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,200 ever in the history, the short history thus far BT unleashed 19 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,800 here, who was the last Jets quarterback? 20 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,240 And we're not going to count Aaron Rodgers because Aaron 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,200 Rodgers was jacked up. But even if you want to count 22 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,080 Aaron, that's fine. But I'm going to say for the 23 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,640 sake of this, besides Aaron Rodgers not counting him, what 24 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,000 Jet quarterback in the last And I'll tell you the the years 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,120 actually in a moment in the X amount of years was actually 26 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,480 better than Geno Smith. Could. 27 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:19,800 Could somebody please answer that? 28 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,080 Somebody just raise your hand and please give me the answer 29 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,240 that is the the only answer that is applicable here. 30 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,760 And the answer really in the last 10 years is nobody. 31 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,320 Like, that's what I don't understand about this guys. 32 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:34,120 There's, there's three, well, there's a lot of different types 33 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,480 of people in the world, unfortunately. 34 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,440 But to me in terms of processing like sports debate or just 35 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,080 debates in general, to me, there's basically three types of 36 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,600 people. There's the one person who was 37 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,520 solely driven through emotion. And a lot of times that's, 38 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,040 that's misleading and it's counterproductive. 39 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,840 But there's the person driven through emotion and then the 40 00:01:53,880 --> 00:02:00,120 other person is driven primarily or solely through pragmatism. 41 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,200 Now that that's probably more of a of a better, more effective 42 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,600 road map to get to where you want to get because you're 43 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,720 dealing in objectivity and factual based stuff. 44 00:02:10,199 --> 00:02:12,640 To me, I kind of like the third column. 45 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,400 I like to be emotional and I like to apply logic when it when 46 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,280 it's what it's required here and it is required here. 47 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,920 I don't know who I'm talking to, the Jet fans out there that 48 00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:26,280 don't like the Gino move or anybody that's not a Jets fan 49 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,360 that's shitting all over the move. 50 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,800 Can somebody please identify to me the quarterback just for this 51 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,240 year? All right, I'm not talking about 52 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,800 Ty Simpson. I'm not talking about the three 53 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,960 first round picks for 2027, for the 2026 NFL season. 54 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,600 Can you please identify where the better option was? 55 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,160 I wait. I mean, I, I, I literally wait 56 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,920 all day because there isn't one, but I get it. 57 00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:57,400 Let me get online and let me get the clickety click, clack, 58 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,320 click, click, you know, let me hit the click sphere and let me 59 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,320 just throw the jokes and let me rail on The Jets. 60 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,520 I can't help it if you don't know football, I can't help you 61 00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:13,880 like I honestly can't help you. So all you need to know about 62 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:21,120 this, honestly, is that The Jets swapped a seventh round pick for 63 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,800 a sixth round pick, all right? And in the process they're 64 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,120 getting a veteran quarterback who who's actually a lot better 65 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,400 than you think. I'll get into that in a minute. 66 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,680 But they are paying him $3.1 million all right, because they 67 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,560 as a result of making the trade, they basically got the Raiders 68 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,880 to pay for most of it. So the Raiders are on the hook. 69 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080 Oh well, why did you trade for them? 70 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,680 Oh my God, what a dumb move by Darren Mooji. 71 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:50,120 Why would The Jets make a trade? They were just they were they 72 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,560 are the the the the league calendar starts today. 73 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,280 You could have waited till four O 1. 74 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,560 They would have cut them. Yes, you could have waited for 75 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,360 for that point, but then you would have had three or four 76 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,840 other teams trying to get Geno Smith and there's no guarantee 77 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,040 that you get Smith. Listen, guys, please understand 78 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,440 this. This is not about I promise, 79 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:15,160 this is not about Gino elevating The Jets to some unrealistic 80 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,120 level. It's it's not about that at all. 81 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,920 But you know what it is about aside from getting much more 82 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,320 competent quarterback play then we've watched in a long time, 83 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,440 you know, outside of snippets of Aaron Rodgers, really the last 84 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,000 time I'll I'll clearly identify for it. 85 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,080 The last time somebody was either as good as Gino or 86 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,880 better, and you know, was Ryan Fitzpatrick in the 2015 season 87 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,200 when The Jets won 10 games and lost that finale up in Buffalo. 88 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,280 There's I mean, I read the names yesterday and it's funny. 89 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,400 I had Donnie Don was great. Hopefully you guys enjoy that 90 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,360 Donnelly Greg was money. If you guys missed it, go find 91 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,160 that library here on the YouTube on the YouTube channel BTLE. 92 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,160 So I was going through all the different jokes of quarterbacks 93 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,200 that The Jets have run out all right for a while here since 94 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,000 Geno left. Basically, he's talking about 95 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,120 Josh McCown. It's what about Bryce Petty? 96 00:05:04,280 --> 00:05:06,560 He's about young Darnold and we know how that worked out. 97 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:07,960 But he's talking about Luke Falk. 98 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,760 He's talking about Trevor Simeon. 99 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,040 He's talking about washed up and washed out Joe Flacco scrub. 100 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,720 Zach Wilson, Mike White, Timby Boyle. 101 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,600 I know I said he could spin it. He couldn't. 102 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,640 A a hobbled Aaron Rodgers, Justin Fields who can't throw a 103 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,240 lick, Tyrod Taylor, who's a competent backup and Brady Cook, 104 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,920 who probably is the worst quarterback that I've ever seen. 105 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,200 And that's saying something. I'm not saying that the young 106 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,000 man can't, you know, maybe carve out a little bit of a career. 107 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,520 I'm not trying to, you know, shred the kid, but he was woeful 108 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,280 last year. He it is cheap. 109 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,840 It is a short term deal. And by the way, he's incredibly 110 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:44,960 accurate. I like I, I, I just, I don't 111 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,880 know what you were expecting. You know what I mean? 112 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,560 Like to me, the expectation. I've talked a lot about what 113 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:50,640 I've talked about a lot of things, right? 114 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,120 But to me, and forget about The Jets, just general sports 115 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,080 commentary, really life, right? You hear a lot of people say, 116 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,040 oh, man, this guy's got a lot of pressure. 117 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,840 And then like if he misses the free throws or if he doesn't 118 00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:06,320 have a good game, you know, nothing really happened. 119 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,000 So I push back on that because to me, pressure is when there is 120 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,240 a tangible bad result if you don't get it done right, if you 121 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,800 don't get it done. And I think like a good example 122 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,520 of that would be, you know, I listen, there's pressure on 123 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,160 Saint John's, their first NCAA tournament game, because if you 124 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,760 don't win, you're out. Like there's a finality to it, 125 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,520 right? So I think that that's kind of 126 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,560 been misapplied over the years. And I also think that anger all 127 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,840 right, and and vitriol in the sporting sense has been 128 00:06:36,840 --> 00:06:39,760 completely hijacked and very much misguided over the years 129 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,840 because to be angry at something, I mean angry. 130 00:06:42,840 --> 00:06:45,640 I don't mean you saying why you don't love Gino. 131 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,680 And by the way, I'm fairly apathetic to it. 132 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,200 I mean, I know he's better than what they've had, but I'm not 133 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,400 popping champagne. But the anger. 134 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:56,440 What is the anger rooted in again? 135 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,760 I'm waiting for answers, text chats. 136 00:06:59,280 --> 00:07:00,640 J Rod, somebody give me an answer. 137 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,160 Like, the only reason that you should be angry at this, angry, 138 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,800 angered and angry is if you can tangibly point to a better 139 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,280 option. Because then you could say I'm 140 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,680 pissed off with The Jets because this guy was available and they 141 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,120 didn't make a move for him and they didn't get him. 142 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,480 And all right, so you want to tell me, well, maybe you're 143 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,760 angry because The Jets didn't make a real play for Malik 144 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,920 Willis. OK, I'm. 145 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,520 I'm OK. I can hear that for a little 146 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,920 bit. I'm not trying to shred 147 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,840 everything that you're saying. But Malik, Wolves, you got $35 148 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,960 million a year. He's played 10 games. 149 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:33,920 We don't even know if we can play. 150 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,200 I like him. And I was intrigued by the 151 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,440 notion of The Jets may be pursuing him, but no guarantee 152 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,560 and it's a massive long term commitment. 153 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,160 All right, so you're mad what, that The Jets didn't get Carson 154 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,520 Wentz? They might still get Carson 155 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,200 Wentz. I don't understand the anger. 156 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:55,040 I just don't, you know, there comes a point, guys, before The 157 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,280 Jets could become like really good, they've actually got to 158 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,680 become somewhat competent. And I am a firm believer, like I 159 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,920 staunchly believe that you, you, you, you've got to raise the 160 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,520 floor. I know that that's a cliche and 161 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,920 it's a tired expression. Oh, the floors here, the 162 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,240 ceiling. But it but it matters here. 163 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,800 Like to take the next step and cross the bridge into the 164 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:21,480 competitive waters of the NFL. You've got to at least be 165 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,760 functional. You have to be. 166 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,760 And guys like Garrett Wilson and guys like Breece Hall and some 167 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,280 of those big dogs on the offensive line who are really, 168 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:35,039 really good, like they deserve a chance to have a chance to win. 169 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,919 Mason Taylor's a young receiver. Let me ask you this. 170 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,360 Mason Taylor runs a nine yard stick route. 171 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,039 Who do you feel better throwing the ball? 172 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,640 You know, one of the guys that I just mentioned or Geno Smith. 173 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,800 I can promise you that Gino's going to put it on his hands. 174 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:48,880 He's going to put it on his hands. 175 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,200 And if you don't believe me, let's get this up. 176 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,720 J Rod, would you please just look, look at these numbers like 177 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,720 if you don't like my tone, if you don't like my opinion, if 178 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,760 you don't like my take. These are irrefutable hardcore 179 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:07,160 mathematical numbers. Now to be fair, I did omit 2025 180 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,760 because it was an absolute circus. 181 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,240 Chip Kelly was his OC whacked halfway through the year. 182 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,160 Raiders offensive line by almost every respected outlet that 183 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,600 measures offensive line play both in like win rate on the 184 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,120 pants, win rate on the run, all those things that matter dead 185 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,600 last in the NFL and Oh yeah, by the way, like The Jets also a 186 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,320 horrendous dysfunctional franchise. 187 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,040 So I don't, I don't want to say that it doesn't matter at all, 188 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,960 but even his numbers last year, which I'll get to were far 189 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,200 better than than anything that anybody on The Jets did a year 190 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,920 ago. So guys, you're looking at a 191 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,240 quarterback that hasn't not even been average. 192 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,320 Lot of these years he's been above average. 193 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,120 Now he's not coming here and throwing 30 touchdowns, but the 194 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,400 number that you need to focus on is the second one, the 195 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,600 completion percentage and really the 3rd and the 4th if you want 196 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,720 to marry that. And, and, and the touchdown to 197 00:09:55,720 --> 00:10:00,360 pick ratio, 21 touchdowns, 9 picks, 20 touchdowns, 9 picks, 198 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,280 30 touchdowns, 11 picks. And when you're in that 65 199 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:09,120 percent, you're rounded up in 2023, when you're 69% in 2024, 200 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,800 when you're 70% in 2022. Like this isn't some rookie 201 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,000 coming out and having a good game at the end of the summer 202 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,800 against, you know, third string scrubs who aren't even going to 203 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,440 make the team, excuse me, make the team. 204 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,600 This is a player. Granted, he's had a very 205 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,600 checkered pass, especially with The Jets. 206 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,920 He's bounced around. So he's thought to be this 207 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,440 nomadic, this, you know, this failed transient early second 208 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,160 round pick. And in a lot of ways, he was. 209 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,640 It doesn't mean that you can't revitalize your career or have a 210 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,640 decent second or third act. What quarterback has done that 211 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,320 for The Jets? Again, I'm waiting for answers. 212 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:50,760 There are none. You're angry at the wrong stuff. 213 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,280 All right, J Rod, thank you, brother. 214 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,640 Get me back up on screen. Thank you. 215 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,680 So what you're angry at and by the way, I I used to do this. 216 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,600 I've learned my lesson. It's more mature BT all right, 217 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:07,200 what I no longer do because it's tired, it's exhausting, it's 218 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,440 depressing, it's played out, it's weak, I mean you and I'm 219 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,520 just done with it. What I don't do anymore and I 220 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:16,480 will never do this anymore, all right? 221 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,760 And I haven't. I kind of stopped last year 222 00:11:19,560 --> 00:11:24,320 where you talk about The Jets and invariably at some point it 223 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:29,240 spins into the fake spike with Aaron Glenn, the butt fumble. 224 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,960 You throw out the name Koh Tide or Bobby Brister or you know, 225 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,480 all the other Mark Sanchez eating a hot dog on the bench 226 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,960 against the Raiders. All these things, all these 227 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,480 things that we kind of lump into one because we cannot escape our 228 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,720 Jets torture. It seems terminable. 229 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,640 It just or terminal. Pardon me, which we could 230 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,360 terminate it and it's kind of a hybrid terminable terminate 231 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,520 terminal it it seems terminal. It's not terminal. 232 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,160 Like there is not a curse of Joe Namath, all right? 233 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,280 There's just not there's there's there's not. 234 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,720 We're not going to be shackled in the chains of football hell 235 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,400 forever. It's going to change at some 236 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,200 point, but I promise you how it's not going to change. 237 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,520 It's not going to change. If you watch a guy, whomever it 238 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,120 is, whether it was, you know, Brady Cook or somebody else, 239 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,480 come out there an unproven, untested kid with no stripes, 240 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,680 throw for 57%, you know, and throw for 2200 yards in the 241 00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:32,720 modern NFL. It's not going to get better. 242 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,000 Eventually Garrett Wilson's going to say Get Me Out of here. 243 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,960 I'm surprised he hasn't already said it. 244 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,320 So everybody's just fine. I mean, you do what you want. 245 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,840 I'm I'm trying to tap the brakes on the lunacy and quite frankly, 246 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,440 the idiocy that I have heard from Jet fans and commentators 247 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,240 about this. I don't get it. 248 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,200 You're paying the dude $3.1 million. 249 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,240 Raiders are eating basically all the money. 250 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,120 You gave up a sixth round pick. What's the problem? 251 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,920 And he what? What is the problem? 252 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,440 I'll tell you. The problem is, is that many of 253 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,320 you are either lazy, so it's easy to shit on The Jets. 254 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,160 Pick me up the little joke on X Wow. 255 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,680 I got 37 hearts. I got 9 retweets. 256 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,760 I got a comment. Somebody thought that my dumb 257 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,120 joke was funny. It's not funny and it's not 258 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,320 applicable. It's not current. 259 00:13:27,560 --> 00:13:30,800 It does not apply to this situation. 260 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,840 So you can do whatever you want. You can remain tortured, or you 261 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,520 could try to bust out of this hell hole of a football 262 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,760 existence like I've done and I'm in the process of doing and 263 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,200 evaluate this. I don't know. 264 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,960 Intellectually, I don't know. Pragmatically, I don't know. 265 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,880 Oriented with numbers. That seems like a pretty decent 266 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,840 way to do this, you know, and again, guys, really, if there 267 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,080 was somebody out there that I really thought was like young 268 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,720 and proven and somebody that I thought The Jets could hit their 269 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,320 wagon to for whatever amount of money it was where there was 270 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,880 enough evidence. That's the key. 271 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,880 And that's the difference with Willis evidence, right? 272 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,880 And I do like him, but he might be very good. 273 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,440 But evidence that he would have come here and he would have been 274 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,600 the man and he would have elevated and you can actually 275 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,680 see yourself winning a Super Bowl or getting deep in a 276 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,800 playoff run with Quarterback X, who, by the way, does not exist. 277 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:28,960 Then I'd say, you know what, you're right. 278 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:32,760 And I'd be the one leading the charges, crushing Muji and 279 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,840 dumping all over Woody, not regurgitating all this, all the 280 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,640 stuff from back in the day, but current day, What? 281 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,080 What are you doing? Why did you miss this? 282 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,280 What's going on? What happened? 283 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,480 We had this guy who's 25 years old, who's done XY and Z for the 284 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,600 last couple of years. He's a proven winner. 285 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,320 He's durable, he can elevate. Why don't we get him? 286 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,640 There is nobody like that. So you need to get it through 287 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,000 your thick heads. You just do, man. 288 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:02,480 All right, let me get this guy. Ben Lembo, 6339 Betty, what's 289 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,640 going on, buddy? I appreciate that. 290 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:04,520 All right. Yep. 291 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,600 Gino stabilizes the starting quarterback spot. 292 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,280 Now the staff can focus on other elements of the team. 2027 293 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:11,840 prospects. I like to do what the Giants 294 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,360 did. Reese #2TY sibson #16 if if 295 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:16,720 available. OK, yes. 296 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,160 Now, do I think there's a chance The Jets take Ty Simpson? 297 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,520 I do. I think there's a chance, Do I 298 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,760 think that there's a a pretty good chance that Carson Wentz is 299 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,920 also here? I do. 300 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,080 Well, if that's the case, and you and you and you have two 301 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,560 veterans, one, you know, MVP type and the other who's had 302 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,040 this really, really good renaissance, last year's side, 303 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,160 it's not the worst quarterback room in football, which The Jets 304 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,000 perennially have. So automatically it's a win to 305 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,560 an extent, might not result in actual real wins, but at least 306 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,640 perceptually, it's a win. It's a step in the right 307 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,120 direction right now. Last year, think about. 308 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,160 So I gave you the stats those three years where Gino was 309 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,920 really playing well and you watch the NFL, he was ninth in 310 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,880 the MVP. You know, he led the league in 311 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,960 completion percentage. He really did some nice things. 312 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,960 Well, I'm going to give you some more numbers without inundating 313 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,560 you with numbers, but this matters, right? 314 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,480 Let's go back to last year. Gino was not very good for the 315 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:09,880 Raiders. Raiders were awful. 316 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,240 I talked about Chip Kelly getting whacked, talked about 317 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,800 the old line dead last in the NFL. 318 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,640 Well, last year, and we know who played quarterback for The Jets 319 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,720 last year, The Jets quarterbacks threw for basically 2700 yards. 320 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,960 Gino in an awful year threw for over 3100 advantage. 321 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,000 Gino. All right, last year the 322 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,200 horrended, the horrendous, horrid collection of Jet 323 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,720 quarterbacks threw for a minuscule 60.3%. 324 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,280 Like that's 1980 shit right there. 325 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:42,320 That's when you got guys stuck. 57 percent, 50 Oh, somebody 63% 326 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:48,800 Wow, he's a star, you know, 60.3 Gino on a bad year. 68 percent, 327 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,240 68%. What Jet quarterback does that 328 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:56,400 besides Rodgers for a minute, Four more touchdowns. 329 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:58,560 Yeah, I'm not going to get I'm not going to get too wrapped up 330 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,200 in quarterback rating, whatever. But The Jets collective 331 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,079 quarterback rating a year ago was 75 last year. 332 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:09,280 Gino again on a bad year for a for a franchise that might even 333 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,920 be worse off than The Jets before they get Mendoza, Ron 334 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,119 Brady. But I'm talking about before 335 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,160 now, like up until now, the Raiders basically are The Jets 336 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,800 of the West Coast. And you know, he was he was 85 S 337 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:22,000 10 quarterback rating points higher. 338 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,599 Again, it's you're not going to beat the Buffalo Bills for the 339 00:17:24,599 --> 00:17:27,200 for the AFC East of the Pats, but you're not going to be 340 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,800 losing 35 to 9 in the fourth quarter anymore, which is step 341 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,000 one. That's all I'm saying. 342 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,320 That is all I'm saying Now, J Rod, if you could cook up that 343 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,480 other thing about the scouting report, which you know, right. 344 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,160 So I went and I did a little bit of a deep dive here. 345 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,040 And like that's not hyperbolic when you talk about game 346 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,280 breaking accuracy, whether it's Warren Sharp and others. 347 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,520 And I did a deep dive and I came up with this with this hybrid 348 00:17:52,120 --> 00:17:54,680 road map of who Gino is at this point. 349 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,720 Not that Gino got popped in the face by his teammate for 600 350 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,120 bucks. All right, So completion 351 00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,400 percentage, top five in the NFL right away. 352 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,560 It's a win because you know, The Jets are going to run the ball. 353 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,000 They're not going to have Gino Smith coming out unless they're 354 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,480 down big coming out, throw the ball 37 times by design. 355 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,160 They're going to do play action. They're going to look to run at 356 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,720 25 times the game. They're going to run the ball, 357 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:22,200 which sets up again play action, which will be a home run for one 358 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,360 of the more accurate throwers in the in the NFL. 359 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,120 All right, when you look at and and if there was a lot of things 360 00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:29,960 here, but and even the deep ball, but I just started with 361 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,720 exceptional accuracy in the zero to 10 yard range. 362 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,200 So, you know, a little quick stick route, something in the 363 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,000 flats, a little screen pass, What what you know, a little 364 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,120 shallow cross, whatever it might be. 365 00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:42,920 Those throws will be on the numbers. 366 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,960 They will be on the hands of Garrett Wilson and Mason Taylor 367 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,640 and maybe Brian Thomas, who I'll get to in a minute. 368 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,920 They trade for him and they might for the Jaguars or if they 369 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,720 take one of these stud receivers with the 16th overall pick in 370 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,440 the draft. OK, he anticipates well, his 371 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,720 timing is very good. There's numbers deeper diving, 372 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,760 which I'm, I'm not going to get too into now, but deeper diving, 373 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,200 analytical stuff, which actually tells you I I will give, I will 374 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,680 give you one in a moment that when things get, you know, 375 00:19:11,120 --> 00:19:14,440 frenetic around him, Gino actually plays better and he 376 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,560 puts the ball consistently in the right spot. 377 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,800 His velocity is, is above average and his placement is 378 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,480 highly above average. So what else do you need, man? 379 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,440 I mean, unless you are really an idiot, do you then you just 380 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,800 can't understand that The Jets got a better quarterback for 381 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,160 2026. I really, I don't want us to 382 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,280 tell you. And if this is not some cell 383 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,000 job, I don't I don't work for The Jets. 384 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,400 Nobody is dumped on The Jets outside of maybe Beningo because 385 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,280 he's done it longer. With the, with the venom and the 386 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,800 vitriol that I have. I have destroyed The Jets over 387 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,400 the years because they deserve it. 388 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,520 This is not something that they really deserve criticism for. 389 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:51,840 Now. It's not something you go 390 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,480 bonkers about. Yay, we got yay, we got Gino. 391 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,120 You're not texting your buddies. Yo, we're back. 392 00:19:58,120 --> 00:20:00,440 We got Gino. Nobody's doing that. 393 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,360 Could the answer for once be somewhere in between? 394 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,200 Can we? That's where it is for me, a 395 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,280 matter of fact, to be fair, if this is the middle and that's 396 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,200 good and that's bad and again this is the middle, I'm probably 397 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,240 a little little bit more this way towards good. 398 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,160 How about this? Now, there are circumstances, 399 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,960 maybe he didn't play early, well, early in the game and his 400 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,680 team fell behind, whatever, but I'm just going to read you a 401 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:25,960 stat, all right? Most go ahead. 402 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,640 Touchdowns in the fourth quarter since 2022, All right, Matthew 403 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,280 Stafford, he's 4th. He's got 8 Josh Allen, the 404 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,520 Stafford Hall of Famer, Josh Allen, you know, I love him. 405 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,920 Hall of Famer, absolute beast. He's got 9 Dak even though the 406 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,200 the Cowboys are a wreck with their defense, Dak's a prolific 407 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,680 throw of the ball. He's got 10 again, the the stat 408 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,000 is most go ahead touchdowns in the fourth quarter of or 409 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,600 overtime. Gino Gino doesn't have 11 or 12 410 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,000 or 13. He's got 14 most in football 411 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,760 1414 Dak 10, Allen 9 and Stafford 8. 412 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,000 So I mean, these these are things he's done. 413 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,720 These aren't things that I'm saying he could do like, and 414 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,800 it's a different energy, obviously, like somebody like Ty 415 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,680 Simpson, who I do, I do like. And I've talked a lot about why 416 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,360 I think he could actually be a pretty good pro and why I do 417 00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,480 think The Jets should and others should seriously investigate 418 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,760 taking him in the middle of the first round. 419 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,240 I think there's a chance maybe he goes in the low teens because 420 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,560 when you actually examine what he did at Alabama, I mean really 421 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,800 examine it and not just watch him in the playoffs when he got 422 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,280 hurt and played like ass like most of you do. 423 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,880 Let's face it, most of you just pop in for the big games and you 424 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,280 read the headlines and you know, and I get it. 425 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,600 Because it's not not necessarily your livelihood unless you're a 426 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,280 die hard devout Alabama fan or an SEC fan. 427 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,400 Are you really in the weeds on Ty Simpson? 428 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,160 No, you don't really need to be. I'm not calling out. 429 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,520 I'm just telling you the way it is and the reason why I think Ty 430 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,640 Simpson didn't have a really, really good year last year is 431 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,640 because Alabama could not run the ball at all. 432 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,560 Like they were 170th in, in, in big time college football yards 433 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,440 per rush. They were always behind the 434 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,920 chains always. And they don't have any first 435 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,400 round picks coming out of the wide receiver like they did all 436 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,120 those other years with Judy and the boys, right. 437 00:22:14,120 --> 00:22:18,680 So I just I, I, I think that with somebody like Simpson 438 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,240 there, there could be like more energy because it's a more of a 439 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:22,960 projection. And even though I, I do like 440 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,440 them, I would certainly understand the push back, right? 441 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,960 I was just giving you some, you know, behind the curtain stuff 442 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,960 as as, as context, right? The Geno stuff. 443 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,520 It's you're, you're arguing against like it's self loathing 444 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,600 is really what it comes down to. It's the psychology of being a 445 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,040 jets fan because take take every jets fan out of the equation 446 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,280 right now. If you were to look at if you 447 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,320 were to somehow aggregate, if you could do this, every single 448 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,400 football opinion that popped up yesterday once the news broke 449 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,080 that Geno Smith was returning to The Jets, all right. 450 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,360 And it was from people who cover the game and you who watch the 451 00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:04,880 game. But again, Jet, Jets don't 452 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,120 exist. Like Jets aren't around. 453 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,080 Not a single Jet fan walking the planet. 454 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,440 Never heard of The Jets, never heard of Joe Namath, never won 455 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,400 the Super Bowl back in in 69. There's no Jets, right? 456 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,960 The the reaction would be totally different to what Jet 457 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:23,320 fans the weight, like the weight, the shift in weight of 458 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,840 of yesterday. And it's again, it's because 459 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,520 it's fueled through emotion, which I understand because I've 460 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,800 lived the same life that you've lived as a Jets fan. 461 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,360 I get it. But at the end, you do what you 462 00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:36,320 want. I'm just telling you, if you 463 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,840 really, if you're able and some of you are incapable of it to to 464 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,520 play amateur psychologist, I can tell you and I can control. 465 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,760 I could beg you to actually do it. 466 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,280 And you just can't do it because you're so scarred or sit so 467 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,520 deeply embedded and deeply rooted into your football 468 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,080 existence that you are incapable of of grabbing an objective 469 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,680 prism and viewing it and getting a sense of what The Jets just 470 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,520 did. You can't do it, all right? 471 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,560 And it's made even harder when it's a guy that was once here 472 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:10,440 that got, you know, lit up by a teammate because he owed him 600 473 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,560 bucks and wasn't a very good player here. 474 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,240 I understand, you know, and it was amplified because he sat on 475 00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,600 the bench, you know, across town for the Giants for a minute. 476 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,120 And then he's the one that interrupted Eli Streak. 477 00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:26,880 I I mean, I, I know going back, back in the day, there's a lot 478 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,880 of negative energy and, and, and a lot of it is it was earned by 479 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:34,240 Gino, all right. But I I've talked about this a 480 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,840 million times that there is a second life in the NFL and 481 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,600 there's actually such a thing as a third life. 482 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,560 And again, if you're angry, if you are angered, if you're 483 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,000 angered by this, I want to know why. 484 00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:51,800 Why are you angry? Because if you tell me that The 485 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,240 Jets just got worse at the quarterback spot, you are dumb. 486 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:57,920 You don't. You just don't know what you're 487 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,120 talking about. You have no idea. 488 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,400 And I cannot help and I won't try like if you don't know that 489 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,680 I'm not going to waste energy on you. 490 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,320 You have to know that that they got better based on what we 491 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,840 watched a year ago. So all right, Gino was brought 492 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,840 in to be a tank commander and that's just the reality of the 493 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,280 situation. Totally disagree, Jay. 494 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,920 No way Now I will say this, Jay, thank you for the for the for 495 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,120 the text there. They are not looking at him to 496 00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:27,920 be the tank commander, the commander and tank the tank at 497 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:32,720 arms, if you will. No, because number one jobs are 498 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,960 at stake. Now, Mooji's a lot more secure 499 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:38,040 than Glenn. But when you are early in, let 500 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,600 me explain how it works for an unstable loser franchise with a 501 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,360 petulant, dopey owner like Woody Johnson. 502 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,360 When you're that team and you're hired by that team, given all 503 00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:51,680 the volatility, the hirings and the constant, you know, 504 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,360 revolving door conveyor belt of coaches and GM's and 505 00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,920 quarterbacks, you know that some level you're on borrow. 506 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,240 I mean, everybody's on borrow time with every profession, but 507 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,720 especially with the ones that are unstable, like The Jets, 508 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,880 they recycle, they go through them quick. 509 00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:09,040 So while I can sit here and tell you that I think Mooji's 510 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,320 cooking, I love, I absolutely love what Darren Mooji's doing. 511 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:19,480 He's shown, he's shown real forward thinking, a real modern, 512 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,000 innovative slant to how he goes about his business. 513 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,360 I love it. I'm going to get to Brian Thomas 514 00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:25,920 in a minute. So, but he's not looking at that 515 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:26,760 way. He's thinking about cell 516 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,000 preservation. We were awful last year. 517 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:33,040 Our product was unwatchable. So he knows and certainly Aaron 518 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,080 knows that if it's like this again, Aaron's definitely gone. 519 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,160 And I would hope that they wouldn't get rid of Muji. 520 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:40,400 But with Dolby, Woody Johnson, you never know. 521 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,360 So when you operate under that, that that's pressure, right 522 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,480 under that pressure and not self-imposed pressure, which we 523 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,920 all have with certain things, but the, the things that we 524 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:57,400 can't control, like Woody, there is now a desperate need to at 525 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,320 least at the bare minimum, make incremental progress. 526 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:05,120 You know, so when you send me a text where I see tweets, you 527 00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:08,920 know how they're going to tank with Gino that, that, no, that 528 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,280 it's the complete antithesis. They're actually trying to win 529 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:12,320 games. And again, if you don't know 530 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,520 that, I, I mean, sometimes I really wonder how little you 531 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,720 guys know about sports. Some of you not, not all of you. 532 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,440 It really is ridiculous. Like it's like they've hijacked, 533 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:26,880 like social media has hijacked the brains of so many of you. 534 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,840 It's turned to mush. There's just no, there's no 535 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,320 logic anymore. No, if you wanted to tank Brady, 536 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,520 Cook would be the starter in Week 1. 537 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:43,440 How do you not know that? So he's objectively better than 538 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,120 anybody The Jets have had outside of Rodgers since 539 00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:50,680 Fitzpatrick. That's over a decade #1 number 540 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:57,000 got the snow blower #1 #2 he's better than anybody else at 541 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,320 that's out there. That would have made sense for 542 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,680 The Jets given their rebuild. Again, could Malik Willis have a 543 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:05,760 better year? Sure. 544 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,680 But that's a that's a big risk at this process, You know, at 545 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:13,320 this stage of the rebuild. This is a Band-Aid, I admit it, 546 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,080 but at least band aids kind of soak up the bleeding. 547 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,280 And I'll start with that. I, I can't watch 40 to 6 548 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,680 anymore. I can't, I can't watch 549 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,360 quarterbacks missing wide open targets by three yards, which in 550 00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:28,640 the NFL is equivalent to 30 feet when we were playing in the 551 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:33,040 street you just got to be at. There's got to be, there's got 552 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,800 to be a baseline level of competence, which I believe The 553 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,280 Jets now have. I do you know that All right, 554 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,880 OGOG, what up there OG Jake 99 Appreciate you, buddy. 555 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:50,400 Gino's a move Mooji and AG make to have a three to have a year 3 556 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,720 New York and keep Garrett happy. All right, well, now we're 557 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,720 getting in the right direction. Listen and thank you for that. 558 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,280 They're not making that move saying, all right, what what can 559 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,520 we do? I'll use the word incrementally 560 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,960 again, like what can we do to just get a little incrementally 561 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,760 better just to shut that dope up owner so he's not going to fire 562 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,960 us here and and keep Garrett from squawking about a trade. 563 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,400 They get winners. Don't think that way like losers 564 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,400 think that way. And you, you guys might think 565 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,360 Aaron Glenn's a loser. Aaron Glenn is more of a winner 566 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,280 than all of us put together. And I consider myself a winner, 567 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,640 all right. But when you're a star in high 568 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,440 school in Texas, when you go to A&M and you're a star in college 569 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:32,240 and you're a star in the NFL and you you help elevate multiple 570 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,880 franchises, you are a winner. Now, the record might say as a 571 00:29:36,880 --> 00:31:22,600 Jets coach. We are we good? 572 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,400 I think we're good. I think we're good. 573 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:33,600 I mean I. Swear, so I can't I Jay, Rod, 574 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:36,200 you got to help me down a little bit 'cause I'm that that that 575 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,000 that gets me so angry. Dude, you have no. 576 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:44,480 Trust me, I I know, dude, because listen, and this is just 577 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,360 like a little behind the scenes unleashed and like there's like 578 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,320 a recording of you on the stream yard and like something crashes 579 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,760 out during it and you're just like, I'm done, I'm done. 580 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,480 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you know what it is too, 581 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,760 because we were on the phone. We're we are, we are hardwiring. 582 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,040 We're hard wiring this. Yeah, yeah. 583 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,720 So that'll be a good thing. That'll be a good thing. 584 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,240 No once you get the Ethernet. But it's funny people are saying 585 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:14,040 Gino crashed the stream. No, God, But I don't know why it 586 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,960 happens. I really don't like it. 587 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:18,440 Doesn't matter. It's behind the scenes stuff. 588 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,480 It really doesn't matter. So what? 589 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:25,000 Give me a a collective if you can, Mr. J Rod. 590 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,760 Give me a collective sense of where where we are as you're 591 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,440 looking this up, where we are with the reaction to the Geno 592 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,720 signing. And by the way, as you get that, 593 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,040 get me back up that stat thing. I got to look at something real 594 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,120 quick there. I want to I want to point 595 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,760 something back out, not the scouting report, the actual 596 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,160 stats. All right, And just keep that up 597 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:43,880 for a SEC. There you go. 598 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,880 OK, So when you're talking about guys, when you are talking about 599 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,760 stuff that is that is debatable and stuff that is that is really 600 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,360 I get fueled by emotion. I I think that that's the fun 601 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,200 part of some of these conversations. 602 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,720 But it really is. And I do this because I don't 603 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,400 know how many people just tuned in, but I do this because I I 604 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,560 think that this is the one thing that you just can't refute. 605 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,560 You know, you could talk Gino this and and and you know, I 606 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,640 can't Polly that and jets tortured quarterback history. 607 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,520 This When was the last time? And again, I'm asking you the 608 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,000 question, when was the last time that you sat back for a Jet 609 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,640 season and you watch the again outside of Rodgers and you watch 610 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,520 somebody do this. When was the last time that that 611 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,080 happened? It's Ryan Fitzpatrick. 612 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:31,800 So now listen, it may not have made a big difference last year 613 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,480 because The Jets defense was so wretched, all right? 614 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,680 And it really didn't matter. But let's just say, let's take 615 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:39,960 his best year of the of the what? 616 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,400 Which year did he finish? That would have been 20/22 Was 617 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,920 that comeback play of the year. All right, So let's just say 618 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,320 he's not going for 30 touchdowns. 619 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,880 Let's just say it would take a little bit of a hybrid as I do 620 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:55,400 the math on the fly here. Let's say Gino goes for 3700 621 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,480 yards, 22 touchdowns and 13 picks. 622 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,120 All right, I mean, isn't you can get that off the screen. 623 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,680 Thank you. Now, Jared, isn't that a much 624 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:06,000 more desirable watch there? And don't you? 625 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,440 What do you think that that does for the rest of the guys on the 626 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,400 team? Like, you know, we talk about 627 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:15,400 the word culture, right? And culture to me, like it's, 628 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,960 it's very nebulous, you know, it sounds, it's a buzzword. 629 00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:20,360 Oh, we got to improve the culture. 630 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,400 How many press conferences have you watched where you got some 631 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,600 coach, some manager up there espousing the virtues of 632 00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:27,679 culture? All right. 633 00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:31,000 Well, but then you ask somebody to define culture and 634 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,080 everybody's, you know, Hemming and hawing and stammering 635 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,800 around. Well, I mean, you know, you 636 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,639 know, like when you do, I don't. But to make culture is very 637 00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:42,760 simple. Culture is being emotionally 638 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:47,280 reliable and physically reliable in terms of doing your job, 639 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:48,800 right. That's that's my starting 640 00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,199 definition. And then as a subset to that, I 641 00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:56,239 would then probably say that there is enough internal 642 00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:01,440 leadership and an expectation and want from within that if 643 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:05,760 those standards are not met that the team almost policies itself, 644 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,080 OK and gets everybody back on the same page and kind of checks 645 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,080 guys when they need to. Like, you know, there, there's a 646 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,160 reason why these, you know, Tom Brady, even though Belichick's 647 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,560 phenomenal, but you know, Belichick could only do so much. 648 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,440 But when Tom Brady lights up the offensive lineman for missing a, 649 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,880 you know, missing a blitz, whatever it might be, or a 650 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,560 running back from missing a chip lock and Tom Brady gets popped 651 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,160 from behind because his running back didn't do his job clipping 652 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,720 the linebacker or clipping the edge. 653 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,480 Well, guess what? You know, Tom Brady is going to 654 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,920 scream at you and he doesn't care who sees it. 655 00:35:36,240 --> 00:35:38,760 And if you're on the other end of that, you got 2 choices. 656 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,480 You either take it, but you better or you know, or you 657 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:46,120 respond in a different way and now you feel the wrath of 658 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,000 everybody because everybody's going to have Tommy's back. 659 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,480 So that's what I mean by now. That's the highest end of 660 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,160 culture because it's Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and it's a 661 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,640 dynasty. But I I don't think that The 662 00:35:56,680 --> 00:36:02,800 Jets can really step forward organizationally if you just 663 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,560 don't get semi competent quarterback play because it 664 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:10,920 undoes everything. It just any the best laid plans 665 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,200 they go up in smoke. You could have this incredible 666 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:18,000 training camp, you know, awesome OTAs, just full throttle in the 667 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:22,200 weight room on point watching film, fully engaged and fully 668 00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,560 immersed and and together great connectivity as a team. 669 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,840 And then all of a sudden you start the season. 670 00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:30,320 You know, maybe first couple of like the Steelers game last 671 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,720 year, right, Jets could have won very competitive, right. 672 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,160 It was a competitive. The bucks could have won that 673 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,280 game when they when they blocked the punt, brought it back to the 674 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:40,080 house when Aaron was dancing. By the way, he still moves like 675 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:41,800 he's 20. I know we got clowned for that, 676 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:43,400 but I wish I could move like that. 677 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,240 Those gyrations. He was still pretty fluid. 678 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,320 And then what happened? What happened? 679 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:52,040 Well, Fields got hurt and then obviously a young quarterback 680 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:56,720 was thrust into the situation, wasn't ready and now it was non 681 00:36:56,720 --> 00:36:59,640 competitive. And now it's 30 to 3:00 at the 682 00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,320 half or 44 to 10 when it's all said and done. 683 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,200 And even those who are fully emotionally invested and really 684 00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:09,800 genuinely try to do the right thing, you know that that those 685 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:14,680 intentions get blown up because you just get beat down 686 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:16,480 emotionally. And then of course, physically 687 00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:19,560 on a week to week basis, it's very hard to keep that same 688 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,880 energy even if you're trying. So I believe like the, I believe 689 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:27,920 now this, I can debate, I believe that there's value in 690 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,000 going, let's say 7 and 10 next year. 691 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,920 And maybe that's ambitious, maybe it's 6 and 11, whatever, 692 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,320 but I'll just settle on seven wins. 693 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,040 Maybe you lose two or three tight ones and you're really 694 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,120 competitive, you get blown out one or two. 695 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,400 I mean, even good teams get blown out. 696 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,680 So maybe you get your doors blown off 3 times, whatever, 697 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,440 ugly games, one sided stuff. But the totality of the season 698 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,920 is one that is rooted in competitiveness. 699 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,120 And when you're playing on a weekly basis, right when you're 700 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,680 playing four quarters to the final gun because you've got 701 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,040 something to play for, it elevates. 702 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,960 I know, again, cliche, but it elevates the floor. 703 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,160 It keeps morale high. And now it gives the rookies and 704 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,960 that talking about next year, the second year players like the 705 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,200 Mason Taylor's guys like that, you know, bamboo young players 706 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,440 now they're like, all right, this is what it feels like to 707 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,520 compete. And now the expectation as the 708 00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:21,160 years go on, when the younger draft picks come in, now they're 709 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,000 coming into a more stable, healthier situation. 710 00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:27,680 And then eventually when you do get the quarterback, the other 711 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,680 stuff around it is is right. It's ready. 712 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:34,360 So that's genuinely how I feel about it Now. 713 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,880 The other thing too, you saw this yet Conor Hughes had it. 714 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,680 Some others had it as well. Looks like Brian Thomas is very 715 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,160 available from the Jacksonville Jaguars now. 716 00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:47,520 He's going to have a lot of competition. 717 00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:50,360 I think Connor said that he didn't think that the Giants 718 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,240 wouldn't necessarily jump in, but obviously for a multitude of 719 00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:56,080 reasons, The Jets would be very interested. 720 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,360 Number one, they've got an abundance of second round picks, 721 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,120 which is what it seems like the Jaguars want. 722 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,640 They've got money, even though he's not really getting paid a 723 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,280 lot of money yet because he's still on his rookie deal. 724 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,360 Either way, to me, this is something that I would 725 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,360 absolutely do and I would absolutely give up a second 726 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,640 round pick for it for him. And you know, I might even go 727 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,200 like a second and something else to further entice the Jaguars 728 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,840 because you're going to have to distinguish yourselves in terms 729 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,880 of the other packages that are presented to the Jaguars because 730 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,920 this cat could play. I don't care what he did last 731 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,600 year, his rookie year, he had 1300 yards, he had 87 catches, 732 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,960 10 touchdowns. He's an absolute monster. 733 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,840 And you know, it went sideways last year. 734 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:34,720 You know, it didn't really work out. 735 00:39:34,720 --> 00:39:37,320 Now you look at the contract, he's under contract. 736 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,400 So you know, first five year deal under contract 26 for like 737 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,640 3 million or A2 change and then 27 relatively low number about 738 00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:51,880 333233 and then in 2020, so that will be 26 in 2028. 739 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,240 You got the player option with that fifth year. 740 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:55,760 You've got great controllability. 741 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,880 Now again, you have to love the player and you know, they've got 742 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,920 to watch the film. Like what happened last year. 743 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,480 Was he checking out of plays? I I don't think so, but because 744 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,080 that's not the word around Brian Thomas. 745 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,680 But if they were to deduce that based on the film and they don't 746 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,360 think he's a fit, well then I'd have to respect that. 747 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,120 But I don't think that they'll see that. 748 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,120 So from a football evaluation point of view, it makes a ton of 749 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,680 sense. And from a financial and roster 750 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:20,720 building point of view, it makes a ton of sense. 751 00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:24,160 Because let's say The Jets don't take Ty Simpson. 752 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,200 They're they're not taking any other quarterback at 16. 753 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,160 We know that, right? And all the moves that they 754 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,800 made, obviously you're going edge at #2 because you brought 755 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:33,840 it a bunch of run stuff and big boy monsters. 756 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,240 And I like what The Jets did, right? 757 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:39,200 You know, even even bringing back to Mario Davis some veteran 758 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,400 leadership linebackers, all right, you, you dress the safety 759 00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,280 position, you got a corner, so the defense should be better. 760 00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,840 I'm not saying it's going to be great, but you clearly know what 761 00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,080 they're doing at #2 unless they were to maybe trade attitude, 762 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,560 drop down a couple of the spots and then still take an edge, 763 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,080 which I think could happen. And I'd be open to that as well. 764 00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:01,920 But the the ability now to further reshape your roster with 765 00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,320 the acquisition of Brian Thomas. If you trade for Brian Thomas, 766 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,160 you you're not taking a wide receiver at 16. 767 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,320 So you go on defense, defense. Or maybe that's where you say, 768 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,240 all right, maybe now I could justify taking Ty Simpson at 16 769 00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:17,720 or trading out of 16 if somebody else loves Ty Simpson and you 770 00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,240 don't. And maybe getting some more, 771 00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:23,320 more draft capital, like there's so many things to do, but or 772 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,720 potentially to do. To me, Brian Thomas is young, is 773 00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:28,960 cheap, is incredibly talented, is big. 774 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,840 He's the opposite of Wilson because you know, Garrett's 775 00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,120 thinner, you know more, you know, small space, caught on a 776 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,240 dime and he's great. But I'd like to have some, you 777 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,520 know, a horse on the other end, on the other side. 778 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,760 And he's pretty much that. He's like 6, two and a half, two 779 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,080 O 5. I think he's two O 9. 780 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,640 He's at least 6-2 change and I know he's at least two O 5. 781 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,360 So he's in that window. If I'm just saying, if if you 782 00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,520 were to start next season with Breece Hall, you're gonna have 783 00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,760 to get a guard now because Simpsons gone, AB TS gone. 784 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:57,760 That's fine. I expected that. 785 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,440 You have an awesome offensive line or at least a really good 786 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,440 one. Better quarterback play, play 787 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,920 action, Gino, whatever. Mason Taylor, Garrett Wilson, 788 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,920 Brian Thomas. Well, I mean, now you can at 789 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,400 least you could, you could start doing stuff. 790 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,560 And then if you were to get Brian Thomas, the other thing 791 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:18,760 that you could do is that you can now go defense again at 16. 792 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:25,840 You know, there's just, they're setting themselves up to do some 793 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,200 interesting stuff. I still think they're going to 794 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:29,720 get Carson Wentz. I'm OK with that. 795 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:32,920 You know, it's kind of a model like the Giants a year ago. 796 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,000 You know, you heard yesterday, well, why didn't the Giants, why 797 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:36,400 didn't The Jets just go get Russell Wilson? 798 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,560 Russell Wilson can't play anymore. 799 00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,400 Russell Wilson's finished. Russell Wilson would rather go 800 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,040 to some art gala dressed in a tuxedo, you know, then then I 801 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,160 think play football at this point. 802 00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,720 And I don't think he's good. I think he's done all right. 803 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,960 I'd actually rather have Jameis Winston if that was the choice 804 00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,760 because he could still throw it. But again, guys did just there 805 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,120 was a dearth of options. So, you know, I came out strong 806 00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,520 today. You know where I stand. 807 00:42:58,520 --> 00:42:59,760 I'm not yelling for an hour and a half. 808 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,960 I don't have the energy and I don't need to because I made my 809 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,720 point. I just don't understand, nor 810 00:43:04,720 --> 00:43:08,680 will I ever some of the unfair vitriol and push back at this 811 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,600 move. There was nothing else to do. 812 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,840 And he's he's a slightly better than average quarterback. 813 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,200 What's the problem? What's the problem? 814 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,560 OK, so couple of little show items here. 815 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:21,600 J Rod. Pop on up there, brother, 816 00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,160 Where's my Guy J Rod? Then I got to get to Bam Sham 817 00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:26,000 88. I mean, come on, Bam out at the 818 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,640 NBA. We got to talk about that. 819 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:32,640 Game I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to get to the WBC as 820 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,680 well with the Rosa with a massive gap. 821 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:35,760 We got a couple things to do here. 822 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,400 So we just cut out and the reason we cut out right is 823 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,040 because my wires and it's it's a brand new laptop like it's good 824 00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:44,920 equipment. I, I don't know, but I also 825 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,720 don't fully understand all this equipment yet anyway, so like 826 00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:52,400 it's a little like wonky, like if you touch a wire, something 827 00:43:52,400 --> 00:43:54,040 happens. I just got to keep my hands 828 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:55,920 here, right? Put your hands where you can see 829 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,720 them that you can see them right #1 so that's number one. 830 00:43:58,720 --> 00:44:00,120 Number two, so a little housekeeping. 831 00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,240 We hung up with Verizon. I'm actually speaking at Verizon 832 00:44:03,240 --> 00:44:06,480 tomorrow. Can't wait Big, big room, bunch 833 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,080 of executives going to be awesome, some motivational 834 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:10,600 speaking. So that'll be great tomorrow. 835 00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,640 And we call Verizon, not them, but we called the the office 836 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,000 Verizon and there they told us what we needed to do to 837 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,520 hardwired. It's evidently it's pretty 838 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,840 simple and again, I don't need to to get you guys know how to 839 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,160 do that probably better than me, but it will be done certainly by 840 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,840 next week, probably by tomorrow, I would imagine. 841 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,480 So some of those intermittent like little interruptions on the 842 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,200 stream like when I freeze. I know and I told you guys, this 843 00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:33,240 is still building this out. I haven't said this in a while, 844 00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:35,040 but it's not a finished product yet. 845 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,600 It's just not all right. Click by click, brick by brick, 846 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,760 we know that we're over 18,000. What's that? 847 00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:43,120 Ethernet cable by Ethernet cable. 848 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,280 Yeah, there you go. Yeah, Big fat yellow cord by Big 849 00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:50,960 Fat yellow Plug, right and we'll get to 19,000 Subs by the 850 00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,560 weekend. We're going to get to 1,000,000 851 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:55,840 total views probably by the weekend. 852 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,440 Like we are we're deep. We're we're well, not deep. 853 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,880 We're right in the mid 900 thousands already for two months 854 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,480 of doing this. And then obviously we're going 855 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,560 to fly by 20,000 Subs quick. I think this channel is going to 856 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,400 really explode during baseball season. 857 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:12,040 I really do and NFL draft stuff. But the other thing, the other I 858 00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,000 don't want to belabor this, but the other thing I hung up the I 859 00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:16,680 spoke yesterday to my guy Stephen A. 860 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:22,480 So Stephen A will be on the show probably next week. 861 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:24,640 I said, I need an hour. He's like, how much you need? 862 00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,320 I said, I need at least an hour. I said, preferably you pour 863 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,680 yourself a glass of wine because he's he's busy doing first take 864 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:32,760 General Hospital. And I mean, the guy's always 865 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,920 busy. So he he got back to me right 866 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,560 away, texted him, got back to me right away. 867 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,040 And I had reached out about a month. 868 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:39,920 I said, Hey, I need you on the show about a month ago. 869 00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,040 But now it's like, all right now we start rolling the guests and 870 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,360 now it's go time. He's like I got you, He said. 871 00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,120 He's got a little, he's got to finish his dental procedure this 872 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,600 weekend. He's got some dental work going 873 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,320 on and provided he's OK because I know he missed a little bit of 874 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,920 time on first Take as well because of that about a month or 875 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,960 so ago. Provided he's OK and he could 876 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,320 yap because Stephen A without his ability to be Stephen A and 877 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,840 fully yap and let him go is not the Stephen A version that we 878 00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,400 want. I think it's going to happen 879 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,320 next week. Now I've got to navigate where I 880 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,520 am with St. John's on the NCAA tournament. 881 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,560 I'm going to be traveling, you know, could be in Florida, could 882 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,400 be up in Buffalo, could be down in Philly, could be in Portland. 883 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:18,560 I I don't know yet, but there is a really good chance that 884 00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,680 Stephen A will be on next week and a 100% chance he's on within 885 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,400 the next two weeks unlock. Done. 886 00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,560 Let's go, Batman. Yeah. 887 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,040 I mean, going to be so exciting, fun talk, hopefully, you know, 888 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,920 get them fired up. But also, like, I think what 889 00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:35,440 would be really cool is like something, you know, similar to 890 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,040 the Don Le Greco yesterday, where, you know, you're really 891 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,720 getting a behind the scenes look into this person, into their 892 00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:44,000 personality, into the work they've done. 893 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:45,720 So, yeah, I think that's going to be great. 894 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,720 Well, that's really what to strive for. 895 00:46:47,720 --> 00:46:50,560 You know, like when I had Michael on and I had Don, and 896 00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:52,160 Don was great and so was Michael. 897 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,440 Both made news, by the way, that they picked up. 898 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,560 Some stuff on the Barrett Media post. 899 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,440 Yeah, that Don said yesterday about not having his name on on 900 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,440 the Michael Kay show and then like, it's not just so Michael, 901 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:05,920 what are your how long of the least you think Anthony Volpe 902 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:07,440 will have? Like, of course I'm going to ask 903 00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:10,040 certain questions about that stuff, but this is a 904 00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,800 conversation. I don't look at these as 905 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:12,800 interviews. I look at these as 906 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,280 conversations. Most of the people I know. 907 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,920 So, so far, everybody we've had on, I know really well, but 908 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,760 they'll get to a point where I'll have some others on big 909 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,480 names that I know a little bit like I was texting, you know, 910 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,640 Gary Vee, you know, Gary, come on. 911 00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:29,160 Yeah, he's like the number one guy that like this show has 912 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:32,640 reminded me of.

He got back to me right away. 927 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:02,720 I think his response was fuck yeah. 928 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:07,920 He's in, he's in, he's in. And these and Jay, these are 929 00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:12,160 conversations like I, I just think it's really interesting. 930 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,640 Like back to the Stephen AI just wanted to give you the Gary Vee 931 00:48:14,720 --> 00:48:17,160 very real possibility. Well, he's going to come on and 932 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,880 just don't know when, but with somebody like Stephen A and if 933 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,680 Steven sees this, don't take this the wrong way, bro. 934 00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,640 I don't really care what you think about the Knicks because 935 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,040 I've heard you talk about the Knicks forever. 936 00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,760 All right. I'm I'm more curious about like, 937 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,760 you know, when the cameras were off, the dynamic maybe you and 938 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:36,080 skip you and Max, you know, you ever get tired of, of, of having 939 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,360 to be so wound up every day and the pressures of making 20, 940 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:42,400 five, $30 million a year here, being the guy at ESPN, some of 941 00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,480 the bullshit at ESPN that you might have to deal with the 942 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,800 political stuff that you have now removed yourself from. 943 00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,640 But seemingly we're headed to. So that those are the 944 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,160 conversations obviously and little, little Nick stuff. 945 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:54,920 But that's, that's what I want to do. 946 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,040 That's what I will do. Awesome. 947 00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:59,800 You know what I mean? So going to be, I mean, just 948 00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:02,080 going to be great and like you're going to get, you know, a 949 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,160 whole new side of Stephen AI think that people haven't really 950 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,680 seen before. Yes, well, that that's the goal. 951 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:11,800 I'm happy you say that I want people to see the Stephen A that 952 00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:16,520 I know like, you know, JU and you know, by association. 953 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,920 The world though, Stephen, A a little snippet or if you're a 954 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,560 real fan of the show, you watch the whole show, the bombastic 955 00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,000 approach and the, you know, the beast with certain players and 956 00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:28,000 Whitlock, you know, I'm going to get to the Whitlock stuff too. 957 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:31,280 Some other stuff. I know Steven #1 when he was 958 00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,800 just starting out, you know, he, he, he wasn't, he was definitely 959 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,360 wasn't this yet. And you know, and, and I'm 960 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,640 looking forward to running this by and one of the things and 961 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,680 then I want to move on here. But one of the things that I 962 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,800 really loved and and cherished and valued working with Steven, 963 00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,600 you know, when Stephen A and I were in the studio together for 964 00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:52,240 it was about a year and it was about O 6 about a throw a year 965 00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:54,800 out there. I think O six O 7, probably O 6. 966 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:58,920 And back then people weren't really talking a lot about race. 967 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,400 They really weren't not now. It's unfortunately it's it's too 968 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:03,800 much. I think, like I think there's 969 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,480 there's people who just inflamed situations just for clicks. 970 00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:09,400 I think there's race baders out there. 971 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,320 I think there's a lot of well-intentioned people as well, 972 00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:14,440 But I think it's been hijacked. My point is, is that me and 973 00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,120 Steven or Steven and I would talk about these things off air 974 00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:25,040 and about like real, real things and we know each other and we've 975 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,600 got profound respect for one another. 976 00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:30,480 So it's going to be, I would, I take a lot of pride in doing 977 00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,000 interviews and great conversations. 978 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,640 I think it's going to be a Steven that you haven't seen 979 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:34,720 very often. That's my goal. 980 00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:37,120 Awesome.

They moved up a couple of slots 1039 00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,600 now 13th in the AP. They moved up a tick in the net, 1040 00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,240 which obviously matters proceedings. 1041 00:53:18,240 --> 00:53:21,240 So they're 21, you know, right now they're pretty much thought 1042 00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:23,720 to be about a five seed. I know Lenardy has had them as a 1043 00:53:23,720 --> 00:53:26,120 5. Some others have them as as a 1044 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,640 six in terms of that NCAA tournament, where where they 1045 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,040 might go and wherever they go, I will go. 1046 00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:34,160 So I'll bring you all that NCAA content. 1047 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:35,720 I'm looking forward to really being on the road with them. 1048 00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:39,080 Zubi, this was announced. Zubi edge of four big. 1049 00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,960 This is amazing. He's going to be so missed, man. 1050 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,960 So Zubi, Big East Player of the Year, Big East Defensive Player 1051 00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,920 of the Year and Big East Scholar of the Year. 1052 00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:53,840 The Big East was born in 1979. Twice in the vaunted history of 1053 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,880 the conference, a player has won all three of those. 1054 00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,520 Player of the year, defensive and scholar. 1055 00:53:59,720 --> 00:54:02,440 The last time it happened, the only time besides Zubi this 1056 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:05,280 year. Yukon's a Mecca Okafor, who's a 1057 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,960 great college player, decent pro, but a great college player. 1058 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:12,560 So, you know, just an amazing year by Zubi Housing Capital if 1059 00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:14,120 you'd love to see a long run here. 1060 00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,960 Bryce Hopkins, Dylan Mitchell also honored second and third 1061 00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,840 team. You got three games today for 1062 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,960 the Big East tournament. You got Providence and Butler, 1063 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:25,240 Xavier, Marquette. You got Georgetown, DePaul and 1064 00:54:25,240 --> 00:54:29,720 then tomorrow at noon it is the Johnnies against the winner of 1065 00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:32,240 the Providence Butler game. And listen, you know, I don't I 1066 00:54:32,240 --> 00:54:33,560 don't know how far they're going to go. 1067 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:36,960 I hope it's very far and I hope it's a final four. 1068 00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,440 But the the thing that's going to either prevent St. 1069 00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,720 John's from going far or really going far is the back court. 1070 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,880 Because I don't have any doubts, even though matchups are are you 1071 00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,640 never know what you get the front courts going to play the 1072 00:54:49,640 --> 00:54:52,160 back courts been the issue. And I don't mean Dylan darling, 1073 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,320 Ian Jackson has been confounding, wildly talented, 1074 00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,760 but a very confounding season. And then you're going to need 1075 00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,040 something out of out of out of Sonan Sonan. 1076 00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,240 So if you get that, they've got a chance to make some real 1077 00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:05,200 noise. So that's it. 1078 00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,120 I'm looking forward to it again, of course, the John's report 1079 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:09,760 brought to you by Sullivan Propane. 1080 00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,160 Trial law1.com. Trial law1.com. 1081 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,400 Remember the name Sullivan Propane. 1082 00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:18,880 So we are here. Biggie's tournament is upon us. 1083 00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:22,600 I love it. All right, now I was watching 1084 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,800 the West and I'll get to the WBC in a moment. 1085 00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:29,920 Derosa, I mean, I love Derosa. You you it's hard to mess up as 1086 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,120 much as he messed up yesterday. I got a little issue here, Team 1087 00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,560 USA, not to mention you lost to Italy. 1088 00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:40,000 You got deeper issues in that. So I'm watching the WBC and then 1089 00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,840 I may be even thrown on sports that I fell asleep a little bit 1090 00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,120 quicker than usual last night, like 11, whatever. 1091 00:55:45,720 --> 00:55:49,680 So I didn't even know about bands night until very early 1092 00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,560 this morning. Damn Autobahn, you scored 83 1093 00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:59,240 points bad, 83 points and all right, I mean 83. 1094 00:55:59,240 --> 00:56:03,600 It's second most since will. But if you saw the way it went 1095 00:56:03,600 --> 00:56:07,400 down, first of all, they actually they were winning at 1096 00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:12,840 one point it was 141 to 119 with three minutes and 30 seconds to 1097 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:14,360 go in the fourth quarter, All right? 1098 00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:17,040 And they kept going and they kept, they were triple teaming 1099 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,680 him, the Wizards. And he kept jacking up shots. 1100 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:26,520 And then they were up by 26 points and they were fouling the 1101 00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,760 Wizard. The Heat were fouling the 1102 00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:33,960 Wizards to stop the clock to give Bam more room to either 1103 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,920 break the record or or get past Kobe or get into the 80s and and 1104 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,520 all that other stuff. I mean, what, what I mean what, 1105 00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,920 what an absolute sham. What an absolute farce. 1106 00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,200 He's not, I don't look at he's not second, it's Will and it's 1107 00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,760 Kobe, period. And I got to tell you, you know, 1108 00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,920 the Heat culture is a thing that gets a lot of play. 1109 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,680 And, and I I've even though they've been an adversary of the 1110 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,960 Knicks, like I've always respected the Heat culture 1111 00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:59,240 because in a lot of ways they mirror the Knicks. 1112 00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:01,800 But many of the years they they've just been better at 1113 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,440 doing what the Knicks try to do, you know, with, with the 1114 00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,640 championships, obviously with the coaching. 1115 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,560 And I think he's one of the great spoelstress, one of the 1116 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,760 great coaches of our generation. I think he's really that good. 1117 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,480 Pat Riley, great executive. They always make a trade that 1118 00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:19,360 you don't see coming. But like culture's got back to 1119 00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,120 the word culture. Culture's got to be 1120 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,000 all-encompassing when you're going out of your way. 1121 00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,840 And and you're really not only this, not only are you 1122 00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:30,800 disrespecting the Wizards, like if I was one of the Wizards and 1123 00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,200 I know these guys don't think this way, I would have dropped 1124 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:34,440 them. Like I like that. 1125 00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:36,680 That's fight worthy. The shit that they were pulling 1126 00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,480 last night, honestly. I mean, you found the Wizards 1127 00:57:39,480 --> 00:57:42,560 with a buck dirty to go stop the clock, get the get it to Bam, 1128 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,680 get it to bam. So what kind of culture is that? 1129 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,080 I am very surprised. I'm not surprised that the 1130 00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,520 players did it because the players grow up. 1131 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:55,760 Every player on the court now in the NBA grew up in a, in an grew 1132 00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,080 up in an in an AAU culture. And I'm not here to denigrate 1133 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,720 the AAU in its entirety because there's a lot of 1134 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,000 well-intentioned, well principled coaches. 1135 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:06,440 There really are. But if you and I've seen a lot 1136 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:11,480 of clips and we're not playing AAU yet, when we get there, I'll 1137 00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,240 have more, more with the baseball. 1138 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:15,160 I am, but not with the basketball. 1139 00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,280 But when we get there, I'll be able to actually tell you more 1140 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:21,560 because I'll be there. But really, most of these AAU 1141 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:25,920 tournaments are money grabs and it's one-on-one and it's 1142 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,320 showmanship. And you know, it's it's just 1143 00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,480 showing up your teammate, crossing them up and then 1144 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:32,080 flexing down the court. I get it. 1145 00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:33,800 Kids want to have fun, all right? 1146 00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,440 And I was defending the players having fun in the WBC. 1147 00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:39,960 So I'm, I'm not contradicting myself, but I feel like it's, 1148 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,480 it's a little bit much in the lower levels of a basketball 1149 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:47,720 anyway. So the AAU culture is what 1150 00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,200 you'll do is well, I'm going to take a little side step 1151 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,200 backwards actually, because I think you guys will appreciate 1152 00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:56,600 this. One of the reasons why European 1153 00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:01,760 basketball is soaring past American basketball is because 1154 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,600 they do the exact opposite of what we do in the States. 1155 00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,920 In Europe, they basically practice five days a week and 1156 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,520 they play a game one day a week. All right. 1157 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:15,080 So all the court time is devoted to the principles of the game, 1158 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:19,040 properly setting a screen, going under, going above, you know, 1159 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,320 and then obviously the bit, but much more complex than that. 1160 00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:23,680 That's basic stuff. But they hammer home the 1161 00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,480 fundamentals. That is what they do. 1162 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,320 And when you see a European come in to the NBA, even if he's not 1163 00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:33,400 a star like a Luca, I promise you, and he's got a lot of flair 1164 00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:34,600 too. But there's a reason why these 1165 00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:37,440 Europe European players are more buttoned up than many of our 1166 00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,560 American players. I know that that's a broad scope 1167 00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:41,880 and and like a broad brush there, but it's true. 1168 00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:43,120 Now I feel comfortable saying it. 1169 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:46,360 Whereas with the American players, it's all about, you 1170 00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:50,000 know, yo-yo win and handle and, you know, doing whatever you 1171 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:51,520 doing. And it's beautiful to watch and 1172 00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:55,560 they're amazingly gifted. But those AAU games, you're 1173 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,680 there 9:00 in the morning, you might play 456 games, You're 1174 00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:00,640 just playing games, you're not practicing. 1175 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:02,480 And again, it's the opposite model. 1176 01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:06,200 In Europe, they practice every day, play once a week here that 1177 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,680 we basically play every day. And you're lucky if you practice 1178 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:10,760 once a week. And it's funny, even on my son's 1179 01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:14,080 club baseball team, which is a really good team, a lot, 1180 01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:16,800 including my son, sometimes doesn't go to practice because 1181 01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:19,600 he's got like. A district game or he's got a 1182 01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:21,960 rec game. And even though you know, rec 1183 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,440 is, is not incredibly competitive, most times you have 1184 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,120 to play X amount of rec games to be eligible for the district All 1185 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,800 Star. So the point is even with with 1186 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,440 here with like with baseball, there's a lot of practices 1187 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:36,880 missed, right. So I, I think that last night, 1188 01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,600 if you're ever looking for something as a real 1189 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:44,680 encapsulation of what's gone awry with American basketball, 1190 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,520 Exhibit A last night, Bam out of by. 1191 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,240 And I'm not, I'm not even bashing Bam. 1192 01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,640 The fact that it went on, the fact that the Wizards let it 1193 01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,280 happen, weak and just embarrassing, dude. 1194 01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:59,000 The fact that Spoelstra let it happen, very surprised because 1195 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,920 I've got a lot, I've got profound respect. 1196 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,120 Not a lot. I've got the highest level of 1197 01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:05,280 respect for Spoelstra. That's how good I think he is 1198 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,040 right on and off the court. I think he's just been a winner 1199 01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:11,800 is great and it was just a sham, but it was a circus. 1200 01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:15,400 So you guys can say that Bam scored 83's second most in the 1201 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,840 history of the game. I'm not saying that because he 1202 01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:21,640 didn't because Kobe did. Now the other thing too, this 1203 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,960 might this might be a stretch and and I I want to be fair 1204 01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,840 because I don't know that you're really thinking about this in 1205 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,920 real time. It's easy to think this now and 1206 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:31,240 I did think this this morning too. 1207 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,080 Don't you think it's a little disrespectful to Kobe? 1208 01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:43,560 I don't know, don't you think? I mean, if you, if you, if you 1209 01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:48,040 sore past Kobe's 80 and you do it organically, like literally 1210 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,720 within the framework of a fairly competitive game and you're not 1211 01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:55,120 manipulating the clock and stopping it with fouls and doing 1212 01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:58,800 all these things, hey, tip the cap and I can't tip it 1213 01:01:58,800 --> 01:01:59,880 backwards. Tip the cap. 1214 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,200 You're second, but for what, Kobe? 1215 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:04,440 And again, maybe I'm overthinking this. 1216 01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,720 It's maybe it's not a responsibility of Spoelstra or 1217 01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,400 anybody else within the Heat to be the gatekeeper for history or 1218 01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,560 for Kobe. But I just feel like Kobe's 1219 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:17,280 different, you know, the the way he was killed and what he meant 1220 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,480 to the game and how fierce of a competitor he was. 1221 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:21,000 You ever think Kobe would do that? 1222 01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,840 There is not a chance in hell that Kobe Bryant would do that. 1223 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,600 There is not a chance in hell that Michael Jordan would do 1224 01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,240 that. I'll tell you who might LeBron, 1225 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,400 LeBron, I could see LeBron not maybe not now because I don't 1226 01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:38,240 think he could score 83 now, but like LeBron 567 years ago, I 1227 01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,200 could see LeBron getting hung up in this because that's kind of 1228 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,560 what you grow up in. And not even a knock on LeBron, 1229 01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,240 even though I'm not the biggest LeBron fan as you know, it's 1230 01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:47,160 you're a by product of what you're around. 1231 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,400 You know what I mean? Just like, you know, when we 1232 01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,320 were when I was growing up in the 80s, there were a lot of 1233 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:57,160 words that were used that which can't use today and rightfully 1234 01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,480 so. But the reason why they were a 1235 01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,760 little bit more socially acceptable, like Archie Bunker, 1236 01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:03,760 right? Think about, think about the 1237 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,760 show. You ever saw that some of the 1238 01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:10,360 words and some of the intimations and just overt 1239 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:15,160 disses of different ethnicities. It, it was more now it's comedy. 1240 01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:16,520 So it's different. I'm not trying to get too deep, 1241 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:21,440 but it was more socially acceptable because the older 1242 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,960 generation kind of kind of spoke that way. 1243 01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:25,760 I mean, I could get into a totally dumb. 1244 01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:29,120 I'm not trying to get it doesn't like I'm not trying to go down 1245 01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,480 that lane even though I could and it would be interesting. 1246 01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,520 And not that I'm afraid to. It's just it's too much of A of 1247 01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:36,560 AU turn. But at that point, I'll, I'll 1248 01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,400 give you the very quick sketch. At that point, you had a lot of 1249 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:42,720 immigrants who were coming to our country, Italian, Irish, 1250 01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:49,400 German, Jewish. I'm I might be missing one or 1251 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,920 two, but like my SO and they came and you know, there was 1252 01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,800 like a lot of battles, you know, like, you know, I could, I could 1253 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,480 say this kiddingly, like my grandma on the, on the maternal 1254 01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:06,400 side, Napoli Don, right? And, and my uncle Pat, who's the 1255 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:10,520 best, married a Sicilian woman who's phenomenal, right? 1256 01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:14,080 And back in the day, like Napoleon Sicilian. 1257 01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,000 And they're from the same country, you know, so there was 1258 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:18,680 a lot of that going on. I just, I don't want you to 1259 01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:22,360 think I was trying to get too serious, But there were there 1260 01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,440 were like there were things that were said and that were 1261 01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,200 accepted. And then, you know, we've kind 1262 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,320 of say I'm in the street here and there because you didn't 1263 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:31,280 know any better. You were a kid. 1264 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,240 So you learn what's right and you learn what's wrong. 1265 01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,720 And I just say that because you really are a byproduct of what 1266 01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:41,080 you're around what what you're taught and what your habitat is 1267 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,320 is like. And because more players 1268 01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,360 celebrate baseball and the swag and stuff, the younger 1269 01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:49,360 generation that that's all they know and and it's OK. 1270 01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,080 It's that's fine. But last night was not fine. 1271 01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:56,000 Not that you're going to punish them, but like somebody to me 1272 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:57,760 has to push back. And I know I'm not alone with 1273 01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:00,120 this here. Got to push back on on what the 1274 01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,000 hell happened last night with Bam out of payo 83 points. 1275 01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:06,280 I would have loved to have seen Spoelstra. 1276 01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:10,680 Now, maybe he did call a timeout And again, I saw the clips, but 1277 01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,640 I would have liked to somebody from the heat from the PR 1278 01:05:14,640 --> 01:05:18,160 department, Sid or the the not the Sid, but the PR say, Hey, 1279 01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:20,080 we're we're getting close to breaking Kobe's record. 1280 01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:22,960 Is this something we really want to do in a non competitive game 1281 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:24,960 at this point? And then maybe at that point you 1282 01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,560 communicate that to an assistant coach, He tells Spoelstra. 1283 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,480 And then because this is how it happens, by the way, and then 1284 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,080 it's communicated to the huddle and then maybe you give Bam a 1285 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,040 chance and then Bam, who's a stand up guy. 1286 01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,840 I think Bam, I think Bam may have been like, you know what, 1287 01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:39,440 rest in peace go. But I'm, I'm good. 1288 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:40,920 I had a big night. I don't I don't need to do it 1289 01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:43,360 this way. I don't know, Am I overthinking 1290 01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:47,280 it? Maybe on some level, you know, 1291 01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:49,160 maybe. But it just didn't seem 1292 01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,240 authentic. And I'm all about records and 1293 01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:55,520 I'm all about, you know, trying to climb higher and higher and 1294 01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:58,200 higher. But it's got to be within the 1295 01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:01,880 you. You can't color outside the 1296 01:06:01,880 --> 01:06:05,280 lines to a point where you disrespect the game. 1297 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,000 And I thought last night the game was disrespected. 1298 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,200 But I also think every night the game is disrespected because 1299 01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,360 nobody plays defense. Everybody jacks up a three, and 1300 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,480 in large part the game stinks. The NBA game. 1301 01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:17,800 I'm not saying they're not talented. 1302 01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:19,640 Don't, don't, don't hijack that clip. 1303 01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:22,960 They are more talented in terms of athletically and shooting 1304 01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,320 prowess and all those other things, right than the 1305 01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:27,840 generation that I had when I was first introduced to the game in 1306 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,080 the 80s. But you tell me which game is 1307 01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:31,600 better. You tell me which product is 1308 01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,400 better, which is more buttoned up. 1309 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,880 I know my answer and I don't think it's my answer just 1310 01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:38,200 because I'm older. I think it's my answer because 1311 01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:41,480 it's actually the answer. All right, Avery Summit, I got 1312 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:42,800 to put the let me put this on here. 1313 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,280 That's why I can't really wear a hat too much because it doesn't 1314 01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:46,360 fit. Now I'm going to start wearing 1315 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,400 eye black here. If I start wearing some eye 1316 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:51,080 black, then I can maybe do it. All right. 1317 01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,480 The Wizards announcers thought supposed to was taking Bam out 1318 01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:56,440 when he was at 81 as an ode to Kobe. 1319 01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,840 Would Kobe have wanted Bam to call them quits to respect him? 1320 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,320 Never. That's fair. 1321 01:07:01,760 --> 01:07:04,840 But that's but yes, but those are two very different things. 1322 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:06,760 What? You're right. 1323 01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:08,560 Kobe would say, go get it, young buck. 1324 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,440 I had my moment. You have yours. 1325 01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:12,800 I don't doubt that Kobe would have done that. 1326 01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:18,040 But I also think, I can't prove this, but I think that if you're 1327 01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,200 sitting around having a dinner with Kobe and you have a nice 1328 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,440 glass of Italian wine, he likes Italian wine. 1329 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:24,920 Lived in Italy as we know. And you having a little bit of 1330 01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:28,520 vino and he just talking shop and he actually say if he 1331 01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:31,920 watched the entire game and he saw the fouls come on the way 1332 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:34,400 Kobe is with that competitive nature, you don't think it would 1333 01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:37,240 have bothered him, Maybe not enough to say it publicly, to 1334 01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,320 call out Bam and take away from his moment. 1335 01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,560 He wouldn't have respected. He would have he I think Kobe 1336 01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:45,600 would have respected the like the sheer accomplishment. 1337 01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:49,600 But then when you find out how it happened, I think anybody 1338 01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:53,640 with any basketball integrity or basketball sensibility would 1339 01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,200 have been like the same what we looking for? 1340 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:56,400 That's not what we're looking for. 1341 01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:58,480 That's just my opinion. I don't know, maybe you guys 1342 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:01,640 disagree. You know, I know a lot of the 1343 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,800 younger fans don't care about some of that stuff. 1344 01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:08,000 No, I mean, what do you think? OK, this is what I think. 1345 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:12,160 I think, wow, I think he did break the record. 1346 01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:15,360 But then when you watch back, listen, I mean, you're not 1347 01:08:15,600 --> 01:08:19,040 you're not lying about the fact that it was a very unethical 1348 01:08:19,279 --> 01:08:22,279 game of basketball, a very unethical way of playing. 1349 01:08:22,279 --> 01:08:25,439 I mean, it's just ridiculous. Like the, you know, obviously 1350 01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,800 the foul shots is crazy, but to me just like. 1351 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,920 The. 3 point chucking when you're like triple teamed by 1352 01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:36,880 guys is just like you're, it's just like you know that this is 1353 01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,279 not basketball anymore when you're doing that, like, you 1354 01:08:39,279 --> 01:08:43,080 know, this is like some weird other game that is not about 1355 01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,479 winning or losing. It's not about your teammates. 1356 01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:47,640 It's not about any of that. It's about you. 1357 01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:51,439 And that's what I don't like about it, is it just, you know, 1358 01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:56,160 it puts a sour taste in my mouth when, like you said, when one of 1359 01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,560 these things happens, but it doesn't happen. 1360 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:02,600 Organically. Organically within the real 1361 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,800 realm of a basketball. Game, That's what I'm saying 1362 01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:09,920 that that's all I'm saying. I mean, if Bam scored 83 and he 1363 01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,720 just had one of these magical all time nights, which by the 1364 01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:14,960 way, it was magical and it was obviously the whole time behind 1365 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:16,240 Will. I'm not trying to take that 1366 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,680 away, but it was within the framework of the game. 1367 01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:21,399 It was a little bit more of a natural pursuit of it. 1368 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:27,240 That's OK, but when you manipulate the game the way that 1369 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:30,680 fouling I will guarantee. Anything like it? 1370 01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:32,040 At least I've never. Yeah. 1371 01:09:32,279 --> 01:09:35,399 No, you listen, you've seen some things like more so with with 1372 01:09:35,399 --> 01:09:40,760 the girls, like I've seen more lopsided like high school girls 1373 01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,160 scores over the like So and so did this team scored a hunt. 1374 01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:48,399 They won 119 to 7. And I'm like, man, why do you 1375 01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:51,640 how do you let that happen if you're the coach who scored 119 1376 01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:53,640 points? Well, sometimes the answer is 1377 01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:56,560 that you're just so much better and maybe you played one of the 1378 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:58,080 worst teams in the history of existence. 1379 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,000 So it could be the perfect storm for that kind of a route. 1380 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:05,160 But some you got to understand, like I won't begrudge A-Team. 1381 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,000 Like when you when you rest your starters and now the Subs come 1382 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,360 in and they play hard and they do their thing. 1383 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,400 I don't take issue with that because they're practicing hard. 1384 01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:14,680 They got they went, what are they? 1385 01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:16,240 What are they going to practice all week? 1386 01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,160 And they get on the court because they're winning by 50. 1387 01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:19,800 Just hand the ball to the other team. 1388 01:10:20,080 --> 01:10:22,600 No, no, I'm not about that. That's nonsense, man. 1389 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:26,600 So you do see some some weird things on the on the women's or 1390 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,600 the young, younger women's side. This is very different at this 1391 01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,040 level. I would be surprised and I would 1392 01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:35,320 be equally disappointed if Spoelstra, I don't know if he 1393 01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:38,240 spoke yet today. His next, I don't even I didn't 1394 01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:39,400 even hear what he said after the game. 1395 01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,280 So maybe he did. But he's going to have a night 1396 01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:43,000 to reflect on this. He's going to talk to some 1397 01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:44,480 people. He's going to think about this. 1398 01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,680 He some some stuff's going to pop into his head that at least 1399 01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:50,960 in his defense, is is is hard to identify in real time. 1400 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:54,640 I'm going to give him that. He might not, I would apologize, 1401 01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,760 but there's going to be an element of of of contrition, I 1402 01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:01,720 think, or at least contextualization or even even 1403 01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:04,160 slight remorse that like, hey, you know what? 1404 01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:07,400 Bam was great, but in hindsight maybe dot dot dot. 1405 01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:11,920 Yeah, like maybe I shouldn't have been telling my own players 1406 01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:14,720 to fat. Like, what was it like, they 1407 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,800 were like fat, yeah, fouling the Wizards just to get this dude a 1408 01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:21,240 shot or yes, there's like another one where the Heat were. 1409 01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:23,760 I don't know, I got to look into this some more but. 1410 01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:25,240 I got. To for your foul game. 1411 01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,080 Lucky for you, I did it. That's that's what I do. 1412 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,560 So again, they're winning one 41119. 1413 01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:33,560 There's 326 to go in the game. At that point, you very easily 1414 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,480 could have pulled Bam. All right, you try to chase the 1415 01:11:35,480 --> 01:11:36,200 record. I got that. 1416 01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,440 That's fine. And then Miami's up 26 points. 1417 01:11:39,440 --> 01:11:42,400 They're up 26. This is all you need to know. 1418 01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,360 Yeah. And and if if, if I don't mean 1419 01:11:44,360 --> 01:11:46,840 you, I mean what I'm about to tell you guys, if you're still 1420 01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:50,280 OK with this, then you're just a different kind of competitor and 1421 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:52,840 a different kind of fan than me. And I'm not going to bash you 1422 01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:55,520 for it, which is different. Miami's up 26. 1423 01:11:55,800 --> 01:12:00,520 They're fouling the Wizards with a minute and 46 to go to stop 1424 01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:03,120 the clock so that they don't bleed it out, so that they can 1425 01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:06,320 try to maximize the possessions to get Bam to keep going. 1426 01:12:06,440 --> 01:12:07,560 That's exactly what. Happened. 1427 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:09,280 That's not basketball. That's not basket. 1428 01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:13,960 No, no, this flat out. But yeah, I mean, good for him. 1429 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,160 His name will be in the record books. 1430 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:20,800 But yeah, even even he I'm sure will have some second thoughts 1431 01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:22,720 about it in a month or so. Listen. 1432 01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:24,960 Today, today he's. On top of the world. 1433 01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,520 But give it like a month, I'm sure Bam will be thinking 1434 01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:29,720 otherwise. I'm just kind of scanning some 1435 01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:31,760 of these chats myself here. Anything interesting? 1436 01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:39,720 Let's see, Breeze, some stuff there, a lot of basketball 1437 01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:44,240 stuff. What's what is this here, Jay 1438 01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,400 Rod, is there a way to put up a poll for us to vote on the 1439 01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,240 comments? For example, do you oh, do you 1440 01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:50,840 like the Geno movie? Yes or no? 1441 01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:53,440 Looking into this. No calls are available. 1442 01:12:53,440 --> 01:12:54,960 I feel that that could be great for the show. 1443 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,680 Thank you, Mr. Avery. I'd like my producer to come up 1444 01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,000 with that idea, but he hasn't come up with. 1445 01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:00,800 That idea. Hey, Avery Summit, my guy. 1446 01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:02,720 Avery Summit. He's a big time fan. 1447 01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:05,520 Avery Summit is just me texting under an alias. 1448 01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,400 Yeah. Can we do something like that? 1449 01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,080 I know we can do it. I know we can do it. 1450 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,920 If you go to the YouTube page, it'll say like home live shorts, 1451 01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:17,360 but like posts, I put some stuff there you could do. 1452 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,320 You could obviously, like I do on Twitter, sometimes you can 1453 01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:21,240 run a poll. I don't know. 1454 01:13:21,240 --> 01:13:23,480 Can you do it live? Can you build that in live so I 1455 01:13:23,480 --> 01:13:25,480 don't? Know I'd imagine maybe if we 1456 01:13:25,480 --> 01:13:28,960 were streaming on a different platform other than YouTube, you 1457 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,560 might be able to like I remember I don't know if you're familiar 1458 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,680 with like Twitch. Of course. 1459 01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,200 Yeah, yeah, I've definitely seen it there before. 1460 01:13:36,480 --> 01:13:39,520 Based on Stream Yard, you can't do it, but I'm just going to 1461 01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:41,920 keep looking into that because I think that would be awesome. 1462 01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:47,160 What is this here Jay Cuddy 8697 what up there Jay Love how BT is 1463 01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:49,400 using see all the pictures of Gino to try to make people 1464 01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:52,120 forget about the Raiders Gino from last year. 1465 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:56,920 Well, honestly I I was just having an AI image created and 1466 01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:59,080 they were not creating the helmets that I really. 1467 01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,160 Wanted man after. A while I'm just like, screw it, 1468 01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:02,720 I you know, I can't be here all day. 1469 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:04,600 Just throw something up on the screen. 1470 01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:07,440 And no, no, he wasn't he wasn't listen, he wasn't good for the 1471 01:14:07,440 --> 01:14:11,080 Raiders last year. But if you think that context 1472 01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:14,000 matters, well then you'll probably agree with me because 1473 01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,520 his OC got fired. And by the way, so. 1474 01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,480 So not only does OC get fired, but Jeff Kelly hasn't done 1475 01:14:18,480 --> 01:14:22,120 anything in the NFL forever. So he wasn't even a good OC and 1476 01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:26,880 then he got fired and you have a moribund, awful offensive line 1477 01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:30,240 in front of you and a dysfunctional franchise at that 1478 01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,840 point before Brady got involved and things are changing now you 1479 01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:36,200 would think, but so any and it's not like you threw 13 touchdowns 1480 01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,320 and 21 picks like some of these. You know what I mean? 1481 01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:40,200 Even with all that, he didn't have a Goodyear. 1482 01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,920 I'm not trying to sell you on him having a Goodyear, but even 1483 01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,520 last year, Gino was still what, 6465% completion percentage and 1484 01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,640 a quarterback rating of 85 or 86? 1485 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,400 Both you know, certainly the rating is 10 points higher than 1486 01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,560 The Jets cumulative rating from a year ago. 1487 01:14:55,200 --> 01:14:57,000 So again, I'm not going to reset all this here. 1488 01:14:57,000 --> 01:15:02,720 Just go back and watch the show. I I just I don't I don't I 1489 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:04,680 really don't know why you're angry. 1490 01:15:05,040 --> 01:15:08,560 That's AI think that's my most confounding part here, like 1491 01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:11,200 angry, you could say. I think there's a lot of 1492 01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:16,400 reaction to this, like or I want a Carson Wentz, but the end of 1493 01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,200 the day is probably a kind of a push. 1494 01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:19,840 They're really the same guy, which I don't think they are. 1495 01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,680 I think Gino's better at this point, you know, but to get 1496 01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:27,000 angry about this for a $3.2 million investment and a sixth 1497 01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:30,720 round pick, what are you doing? Like you're the kind of person 1498 01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:34,800 who I think is just kind of predisposed to negativity or, 1499 01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:37,640 you know, you're shell shocked and you've got those scars to be 1500 01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:41,000 The Jets fan, which I no longer I've, I've chosen to no longer 1501 01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:42,880 carry those around. I am score. 1502 01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,840 The only scores I got on my body are the ones from having 1503 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:47,720 surgeries and unfortunately, I've got a lot of them. 1504 01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:52,080 I got no jet scars anymore. I evaluate every Jet season for 1505 01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,000 what it is. I go in hopeful. 1506 01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,600 I go, I go in optimistically. And then of course, you get the 1507 01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:58,920 lunatic reacting to the losses. That's always going to happen. 1508 01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:02,000 But every time The Jets make a move, I choose to think like, 1509 01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:05,560 you know, you not always, but generally skew like, all right, 1510 01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:07,880 hopefully this works out. You know, like some of the moves 1511 01:16:07,880 --> 01:16:09,840 they made. You guys are going nuts one way 1512 01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:11,720 or the other. I like what Muji's doing. 1513 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:16,160 I understand what Muji's doing. And at least to me, Muji is 1514 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,960 showing a plan. It's not like scattered. 1515 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,600 It's not like, oh, well, you know, let's let's do this. 1516 01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:24,440 And this might not fit, but we're not really ready because 1517 01:16:24,440 --> 01:16:27,000 we're not ready to win yet. But go out and get this guy and 1518 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:29,240 this you could. It's very clear what they're 1519 01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,880 trying to do. They are trying to stop the run, 1520 01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:36,960 OK, with a lot of big, capable, big bodied veterans who are 1521 01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:40,320 monsters who are going to take up a lot of space, who are on 1522 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,560 short term team friendly deals. Win, All right. 1523 01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,640 And then you're going to you're going to accent that, hopefully 1524 01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,240 nail the number two pick in the draft. 1525 01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:50,400 And, you know, maybe you actually get a rookie that gets 1526 01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,400 10 or 11 sacks. Could The Jets do that at one 1527 01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,600 point? Maybe, you know, you might be 1528 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:58,440 able to pick defense again at 16 if you acquire Brian Thomas 1529 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:02,200 because I think the conventional thought is, you know, for The 1530 01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:06,280 Jets at, you know, defense, defense at 2 and 16 or defense, 1531 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:10,160 wide receiver or defense, Ty Simpson or or trade, you know, 1532 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:11,560 obviously you could trade up or down. 1533 01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:13,840 But I think those are the three variables there. 1534 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,480 And if you get Brian Thomas, well, there's no guarantee that 1535 01:17:17,480 --> 01:17:20,080 whomever you draft, you know, it could be taped. 1536 01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:23,720 It could be any one of the three first round grades and he just 1537 01:17:23,720 --> 01:17:26,200 might not be that good. You at least you know that you 1538 01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,520 got a guy who could already showed he could play in the NFL 1539 01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:31,840 opposite Garrett Wilson, which then also so you strengthen the 1540 01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,240 receiving core and you also simultaneously give yourself a 1541 01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,920 chance to do some other stuff and now really load up on the 1542 01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:41,760 defense, you know, So that's where I stand with that. 1543 01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:44,880 All right, I know you didn't watch the WBC last night, did 1544 01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:47,800 you? No, I got oh, wait, why? 1545 01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,480 Yeah, you watch a little bit, watch a little bit. 1546 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,520 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not, not a ton. 1547 01:17:52,520 --> 01:17:57,720 Couple literally like probably 2-3 at bats 3 or 4 have that. 1548 01:17:58,040 --> 01:17:59,520 So like 6 minutes. Yeah, yeah. 1549 01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:03,000 Exactly. So when I say a little bit, I 1550 01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,120 really mean it. Understood. 1551 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:06,280 I appreciate you being honest. Now. 1552 01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,640 Why even like what compelled you to even watch a little bit? 1553 01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:11,960 Because if you did you seek it out or did you stumble on it? 1554 01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:14,320 I mean, it was just like because. 1555 01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,440 It was on FS. One going yeah exactly. 1556 01:18:16,440 --> 01:18:19,760 Going through the YouTube TV after Celtic Spurs. 1557 01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:20,720 Kind of. I got you. 1558 01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:21,400 OK. OK. 1559 01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,720 Was there a fight in that game? Celtic Spurs Jaylen Brown got 1560 01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:27,680 ejected 3 minutes into the second. 1561 01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:29,280 What? What was it about though? 1562 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,920 I was. It was it was a ref thing. 1563 01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:35,520 And like the contention behind it, like I guess or the I guess 1564 01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:39,760 the kind of narrative behind the ejection is that he got ejected 1565 01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,680 by the ref on the other side of the court who? 1566 01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:46,480 Oh got you been speaking to? So why, why why is this guy 1567 01:18:46,480 --> 01:18:49,360 chiming in from 50 feet away exactly when there's a ref right 1568 01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:50,520 next to you who didn't call anything? 1569 01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:52,920 Yep. And so he got heated about that, 1570 01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:54,960 like took the Twitter afterwards, but. 1571 01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:58,400 Yeah, yeah, well, not a good night for Team USA. 1572 01:18:58,400 --> 01:18:59,320 Last night? No, not at. 1573 01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:03,680 All not a good night and and really an inexcusably 1574 01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:09,360 unacceptably bad moment from Mark DeRosa, who I love man, I 1575 01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:12,920 am a big Derosa guy. I met him what two or three 1576 01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:15,920 times and he's just awesome love talking chop with him. 1577 01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:20,080 I met him twice, certainly twice at at MLB Network when when me 1578 01:19:20,080 --> 01:19:22,960 and Sal did our show there and it came on the show. 1579 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:24,760 And you know, I love watching him do his hitting 1580 01:19:24,760 --> 01:19:26,560 demonstrations. I think he's great on air. 1581 01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:32,760 Jersey guy Bergen Catholic stud. I am a fan. 1582 01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,520 I am AI like him personally, and I'm just a fan. 1583 01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:38,760 But what he did yesterday was you just you can't have it 1584 01:19:38,760 --> 01:19:40,680 happen. So at the press conference 1585 01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:44,800 before the game, you know, he said, you know, I'd, I'd like to 1586 01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:46,400 win. We'd like to beat, we'd like to 1587 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:47,840 beat Italy. We'd like to keep this going, 1588 01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,400 stay undefeated. But, you know, even though we've 1589 01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:53,480 already punched our ticket out of pool play, problem is they 1590 01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:55,200 didn't punch their ticket out of pool play. 1591 01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:57,760 And the other problem is that Nolan McClain, who I think is 1592 01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:00,480 going to be phenomenal, got smacked around a little bit. 1593 01:20:00,480 --> 01:20:02,480 I mean, they had they were squaring up balls on McClain 1594 01:20:02,480 --> 01:20:05,160 left and right. And then, you know, thank God 1595 01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:06,680 tomorrow, say thank God it's a little strong. 1596 01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:10,120 But thankfully, Team USA scored some runs late. 1597 01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:13,520 With Gunnar Henderson, some other guys because if they 1598 01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,520 didn't the run differential it would have been more of an 1599 01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:17,920 issue. So think about this. 1600 01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:19,400 They rest Bryce Harper didn't start. 1601 01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:22,360 Goldschmidt played first base. Somebody somebody else didn't 1602 01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,120 start. It was Harper and I know 1603 01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:27,480 Schwarber played a soul wit so judge a Bregman. 1604 01:20:27,480 --> 01:20:30,760 Bregman didn't play. So Bregman and Harper did not 1605 01:20:30,760 --> 01:20:34,400 start. That is your #2 hitter and your, 1606 01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:38,000 you know, 4 hitter, like, you know that those two guys in the 1607 01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:41,440 1st 5 or 6 spots of the order and wanted to get him off his 1608 01:20:41,440 --> 01:20:42,480 feet. I get that they're, they're 1609 01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:44,680 veterans all right, fine. But you didn't have anything 1610 01:20:44,680 --> 01:20:47,120 wrapped up. So now they lose to Italy, which 1611 01:20:47,120 --> 01:20:49,800 is, which is a monumental win. I'm not going to go nuts about 1612 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:54,160 that because it's pool play and I love baseball, but there's a 1613 01:20:54,160 --> 01:20:56,760 randomness with baseball. Italy deserved to win last 1614 01:20:56,760 --> 01:20:57,720 night. They really did. 1615 01:20:58,480 --> 01:21:02,160 But you went into a game and you wrote out a lineup under one 1616 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:03,920 train of thought, which was wrong. 1617 01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:08,920 How does that happen? How is there no checkpoint and 1618 01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,360 you know the these press conferences? 1619 01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:16,120 I mean, I can only guess that was probably 2-3 hours maybe 1620 01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:18,240 before the game if I had to take a guess. 1621 01:21:19,640 --> 01:21:23,240 So you had plenty of time for somebody in PR or somebody on 1622 01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:26,440 the Team USA staff to say, hey, Skip, you know, you may have 1623 01:21:26,440 --> 01:21:27,880 misspoke a little bit. I know what you said there at 1624 01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,120 the press conference, but we don't have this thing wrapped up 1625 01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:32,840 yet, you know, so you got to do, you know, you're the manager, 1626 01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:35,040 you do what you want to do. But if you're going to, if 1627 01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,040 you're resting guys, because you think that we have this wrapped 1628 01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:38,760 up, we don't. Now let's get this up. 1629 01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:41,760 Let me tell you what has to happen here for Team USA to get. 1630 01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:45,320 And I want them to advance. I want to see the United States 1631 01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:48,880 and I want to see Japan and I want to see Dominican Republic 1632 01:21:48,880 --> 01:21:51,640 and I I want to see Puerto Rico. I want those are the four best 1633 01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,760 teams. Now, Mexico's good, but there 1634 01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,160 are a cut below that. So how, by the way, is that a 1635 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:58,440 sick rantic or what? That's a good. 1636 01:21:58,440 --> 01:22:02,160 One, I I like the I like how they did the unleashed on it a 1637 01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:03,160 lot. I told them to. 1638 01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:06,600 It's very true to the show's logo, I told. 1639 01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:10,040 Them to do that, you know, I told them and thank God I 1640 01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:13,520 checked because the AI that I used and they had the wrong 1641 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,920 thing initially and it looked good, but I'm like, let me just 1642 01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,680 and I I'm pretty good with my flags and geography, but the 1643 01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:22,000 flags were wrong like they had the wrong Italian flag and they 1644 01:22:22,000 --> 01:22:23,760 had the wrong I'm like, oh, good thing I didn't use that. 1645 01:22:24,120 --> 01:22:26,840 I mean I, I look like a dope enough now I mean with the Wi-Fi 1646 01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:28,320 and cutting out and all this other stuff. 1647 01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:30,400 I, I got the wrong flags up there. 1648 01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:31,800 Oh, thank God, we don't have that. 1649 01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:35,480 So we will advance if Italy's got to beat Mexico, I don't 1650 01:22:35,480 --> 01:22:37,400 think that's going to happen. All right, Mexico's going to 1651 01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,400 win. So if that happens no matter 1652 01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:42,760 what the score is run differential, we're good, but I 1653 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:43,720 don't think that's going to happen. 1654 01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,000 What I do think is going to happen then Mexico's going to 1655 01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,880 win and I do think there's more of a chance that Mexico will win 1656 01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:51,800 going away then Mexico will win in a tight one. 1657 01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:55,680 I think so if it's a higher scoring game, you know, Italy 1658 01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:58,480 scores a bunch, Mexico scores either one of those two four 1659 01:22:58,480 --> 01:23:02,120 plus for Italy or Mexico 5 plus and Mexico wins. 1660 01:23:02,440 --> 01:23:06,320 We're in all right, but again, you don't control your own your 1661 01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:08,640 own destiny here. We are out. 1662 01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:13,400 If they win a low scoring game, which is somewhat plausible, 1663 01:23:13,720 --> 01:23:18,800 like if Mexico wins 1 nothing 213243 all within the realm of 1664 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:20,240 possible. I wouldn't bet on that to 1665 01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:22,760 happen, but it's certainly not implausible. 1666 01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:26,920 It's not impossible. So if we get screwed out of 1667 01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:31,960 this, I'm going to be really pissed and Mark DeRosa is going 1668 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:38,200 to really look bad here. Like, man, I he's interviewed 1669 01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:40,680 for some jobs. There's a thought that, you 1670 01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,760 know, maybe sometime down the road, the Yankees gig and Mets 1671 01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,560 gig, whatever local guy. I think his baseball acumen is 1672 01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:49,600 phenomenal and I think his relatability, you know, he he's 1673 01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:53,240 not young, not old, not young, but he he projects youthfully. 1674 01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,400 I think he'd be terrific in the clubhouse and can talk the game, 1675 01:23:56,400 --> 01:23:59,920 be great with the media. He's fiery Jersey kid, Jersey 1676 01:23:59,920 --> 01:24:02,960 temperament bowler. But you just can't make that 1677 01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:04,120 mistake. You can get you can get that off 1678 01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:05,680 the screen there so everybody knows what's got to happen 1679 01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:07,000 there. Thank you, J Rod, look at a 1680 01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,920 little look at the little banner around the the screen today, 1681 01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:11,560 too. What'd you cook up there, man? 1682 01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,240 Hey, I didn't. Cook it up either we got we got 1683 01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:17,400 my AI assistant cooking up a little border here. 1684 01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:20,840 No, I mean, I actually I did a little filling in on the corners 1685 01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:22,080 there, so. I can see. 1686 01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:24,640 Pat on the back there looks good. 1687 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:26,360 No, I mean, I think it looks good. 1688 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:29,760 You know, honestly, like when you first told me the border ID, 1689 01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:31,920 I'm not going to lie, like I was a little, I was a little 1690 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:33,840 questioning, but. Little bit, yeah. 1691 01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:36,960 Aesthetically, I think it comes together very cleanly. 1692 01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,200 I think, you know, the red and the black, I think it just 1693 01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,680 enhances that aesthetic even more so. 1694 01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:43,280 That well, that's what I'm saying so when you say you were 1695 01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:45,640 a little, you know, worried or hesitant, what you didn't know 1696 01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:47,400 how to do it or you didn't think it would look good because I. 1697 01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:50,040 Didn't think it would like. I reached, I reached out to J 1698 01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:52,840 Rod last night, as we always do, open dialogue. 1699 01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:53,880 Hey, we got to do this, We got to do that. 1700 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,440 We got this, Johnny's report, this that I said what? 1701 01:24:57,440 --> 01:25:00,360 Do me a favor, cook up a little, you know, border around the 1702 01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:01,520 frame. I want to see how it looks. 1703 01:25:01,720 --> 01:25:03,480 So you didn't think it would look good or you didn't know how 1704 01:25:03,480 --> 01:25:05,400 to do it? No, So I guess my thought was 1705 01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,440 just like, you know, some channels, I really like the 1706 01:25:08,440 --> 01:25:10,440 border. Some podcasts, I think, you 1707 01:25:10,440 --> 01:25:12,560 know, they really do a good job. It looks clean. 1708 01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:15,600 Some I think I'm a little more iffy on. 1709 01:25:15,600 --> 01:25:18,440 I think the reason why it really works here is because we're kind 1710 01:25:18,440 --> 01:25:21,800 of in these computer cameras where it's like, I'm not always 1711 01:25:21,800 --> 01:25:24,760 the hugest fan of the border on the podcast where they shoot it 1712 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:26,000 in studio.

The Geno Smith stuff was great 1730 01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,200 obviously, and then the Bam stuff stiff. 1731 01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:13,400 Today, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. 1732 01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:16,240 I got to work out today. I don't think working out today. 1733 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:19,600 Yeah, I I got to start getting back after. 1734 01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:20,880 It what do you do? Do you what do? 1735 01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,840 You do no so last year I had like a great, I mean, honestly, 1736 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:27,960 it was before it was when I was unemployed as hell and I was 1737 01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:32,160 just like I was living at home. I cut together the Al and Jerry 1738 01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:37,080 podcast and that was that like like so legit it would just be 1739 01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:40,080 like morning time. I get up, go to the gym and I'm 1740 01:26:40,080 --> 01:26:42,400 like, I would pretty much just do like, you know, one day I do 1741 01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,600 arms, one day I do legs, but mainly just machines, not really 1742 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:47,520 bench pressing or. Anything I got you. 1743 01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:50,400 I moved to New York, completely fell off. 1744 01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:53,200 Let it legit like the only exercise I get. 1745 01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:56,960 I walk outside, I ride, I ride a bike pretty often. 1746 01:26:57,080 --> 01:27:00,720 I'll do I'll do 100 push ups every now and then but that's 1747 01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:01,360 it. That's it. 1748 01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:03,640 So, so, OK, so that's interesting. 1749 01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:07,840 Now you didn't say like 20 push ups and I I had a shoulder 1750 01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,160 impingement that I mentioned. I think I said this on the show 1751 01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:13,000 a while ago and I thought it was, I thought I tore something. 1752 01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:14,400 Thank God it went away and it's good. 1753 01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:16,240 I started doing push ups again. Just started doing that. 1754 01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:18,320 It didn't hurt like with weights, it just hurt with the 1755 01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:20,480 push ups. When somebody says I'll do 100 1756 01:27:20,480 --> 01:27:23,600 push ups every now and again, that's not a small amount like I 1757 01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:25,920 and I've done push ups for 25 years. 1758 01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:28,320 I can't drop down and do 100 straight. 1759 01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,480 Not straight, not. Straight, not 100. 1760 01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:31,880 Straight. So how do you how do you break 1761 01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,240 them up? I usually do 30, like break it 1762 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:36,280 up into 30 to 35. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1763 01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:40,760 So you do like three sets of 30 or 35, like 30 rest, 30 rest, 30 1764 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,360 rest, yeah. But that's The thing is like I 1765 01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:46,920 had a really good streak last year where I was going like, OK, 1766 01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:51,000 we do 101 week, then we'll do 200 in a day the next week. 1767 01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:55,280 And then and then, you know, everything fell apart. 1768 01:27:56,120 --> 01:27:59,760 But I, but I really, I would really like to get back into it. 1769 01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,080 And you know what, I'm saying it on air right now. 1770 01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,400 So there we go. I'm getting back into it. 1771 01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:09,320 All right, all right. I, I have to do it like I, I 1772 01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:11,320 need it from my mind. Then obviously I want to, I want 1773 01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:13,000 to look decent. Not that I look great, but I, I 1774 01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:15,600 want to stay in good shape. I still have that at that 1775 01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:18,120 athletic mindset, even though I'm getting older, whatever. 1776 01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:22,760 But I am the kind of person like without structure, I'm useless. 1777 01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:27,040 I need structure. I noticed like if I even on the 1778 01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:29,840 and this part I wish was, I think a lot of the time it's 1779 01:28:29,840 --> 01:28:32,040 good. This particular aspect is not 1780 01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:33,920 good. Even on vacation, sometimes I 1781 01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:35,880 start getting restless. Like all right, I got to get 1782 01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:37,920 back to work. Like maybe it's because, and I'm 1783 01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:40,240 talking about more like on the fan and like what I was doing, 1784 01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,560 you know what I was doing every day for 25 years, 2023 years. 1785 01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:46,400 You almost feel like you're missing out like in, in in our 1786 01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:47,920 business, if you've gone for too long. 1787 01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:50,680 Like you've always got that mentality like somebody's coming 1788 01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:52,880 for your job. So you I've always wanted to get 1789 01:28:52,880 --> 01:28:56,600 back and protect it so my mind would wander, but like I just 1790 01:28:56,600 --> 01:29:00,800 can't lay around and do nothing. I just can't I, I almost like 1791 01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:02,840 make myself busy. Very strange. 1792 01:29:02,840 --> 01:29:04,840 I. I, I think, you know, I mean 1793 01:29:05,480 --> 01:29:08,480 there's obviously a big split in like, you know, people who 1794 01:29:08,480 --> 01:29:11,360 obviously like to go out and do stuff and people who just like 1795 01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,640 kind of are sedentary at the home. 1796 01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:16,480 But in my eyes, I don't see how you can't get out the house. 1797 01:29:16,480 --> 01:29:19,560 That's the most important. Life is just stepping out that 1798 01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:20,640 door. That's. 1799 01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:21,960 The best step? For everything. 1800 01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:25,600 So you said, and we used to do the unkillable pot together, but 1801 01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:28,040 those who don't know, you also did the Al and Jerry pot. 1802 01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:29,120 Yeah. You're not still doing it, are 1803 01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:29,960 you? Yes, Sir. 1804 01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:31,720 You are. I mean bear. 1805 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,360 So I, I cut up, I do the thumbnails for them and that's, 1806 01:29:34,480 --> 01:29:37,640 that's pretty much been my role the entire way through. 1807 01:29:37,680 --> 01:29:39,400 Have you ever met them? Yes. 1808 01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:41,640 Dude I don't know if you've ever seen this. 1809 01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:46,320 I spoke to Boomer on air for like 10-15 minutes. 1810 01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:47,040 What? What? 1811 01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:48,520 What did Boomer berate you? What did he? 1812 01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:51,640 Berate. My gosh, they were like talking 1813 01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:55,280 to me about how like I'm going to how I'll get the social media 1814 01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,960 views at the fan up or something like that. 1815 01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:02,640 And then Gio got me with the Dustin from Stranger Things. 1816 01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:05,520 So it was like a little funny thing it was. 1817 01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:07,920 It was pretty short. OK, OK. 1818 01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:10,920 But so, so you would say that you probably know Al and Jerry 1819 01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:12,720 better than those guys, right? Yeah. 1820 01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:13,760 Yeah, yeah. Who? 1821 01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:15,960 Who do you you got? You got to answer Who do you 1822 01:30:15,960 --> 01:30:18,280 like better? Al or Jerry? 1823 01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:22,040 Al or Jerry? Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh. 1824 01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:24,400 This is like a you're putting me in a cruel position. 1825 01:30:24,480 --> 01:30:26,440 I'm going. I got to go out Dukes. 1826 01:30:26,440 --> 01:30:28,280 I got to go out Dukes. I love the guy. 1827 01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:31,560 I listen. I just want I'm distant. 1828 01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:34,800 Jerry. Oh man, see this is where I get 1829 01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:37,440 caught. I love Al because I think he 1830 01:30:37,440 --> 01:30:41,160 always comes through with like the humorous idea and like I 1831 01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:45,440 love his Twitter personality. I think, you know, I can, I hate 1832 01:30:45,440 --> 01:30:47,600 to say it. I can I, I feel like sometimes I 1833 01:30:47,600 --> 01:30:52,880 relate to some of his to his role as like a producer in the 1834 01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:58,280 sports world who maybe knows like 70% of of things about 1835 01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:01,760 sports rather than 100. Like I feel like I kind of I 1836 01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:02,840 kind. Of wait, wait, wait, wait. 1837 01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:04,080 You think he knows? You think he knows. 1838 01:31:04,080 --> 01:31:08,200 What percentage? I'd say like 7070% really more. 1839 01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:11,360 Like 20% he isn't watching man. He isn't watching sports. 1840 01:31:11,600 --> 01:31:12,760 Oh, at all. No. 1841 01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:16,320 Okay, so maybe I'm even a little ahead, but maybe. 1842 01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:18,800 The Super Bowl or like a Yankee playoff game. 1843 01:31:19,240 --> 01:31:22,480 I could probably he's not watching Nicks exceed on a 1844 01:31:22,480 --> 01:31:24,040 Tuesday night. I could probably that. 1845 01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:26,120 But yeah, I guess I think the guys. 1846 01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:28,720 Are very funny, so I've enjoyed doing that. 1847 01:31:29,120 --> 01:31:32,200 Yeah, I and I know, I know Jerry better, but Jerry also did 1848 01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:33,680 updates when me and Sal were on the air. 1849 01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:38,280 Me and Tiki, I've known Jerry for a long time, so I OK, so you 1850 01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:41,120 just do the thumbnails for them? Yeah, thumbnails and then I'll 1851 01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:44,680 cut, cut, throw up the title. But yeah, it's it's very simple 1852 01:31:44,680 --> 01:31:45,480 to stop. So what? 1853 01:31:45,480 --> 01:31:48,760 Let me ask you a question. Why do I get more views than 1854 01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:52,200 they do? That's not supposed. 1855 01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:54,960 To happen, I mean, do do I need to spell it out? 1856 01:31:55,440 --> 01:31:58,520 Do I need to spell it out? But I mean, they've got the WFAN 1857 01:31:58,560 --> 01:31:59,840 vehicle.

I made. 1891 01:33:41,680 --> 01:33:43,880 I made the right choice. I mean it when I tell you, and I 1892 01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:46,400 remember mentioned this once on the air to the point where I 1893 01:33:46,400 --> 01:33:47,840 couldn't. I had to stop looking at him. 1894 01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:51,320 And I don't mean like the day that the news came or the week. 1895 01:33:51,360 --> 01:33:53,920 I mean, well after a month later because I hadn't hired A 1896 01:33:53,920 --> 01:33:57,400 producer yet, my DMS on Instagram and like I just had to 1897 01:33:57,400 --> 01:33:59,000 stop reading them. And I really appreciate it. 1898 01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,240 People were really trying to reach out and they wanted to get 1899 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:03,200 involved in the show. And I'm not like I'm not trying 1900 01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:05,960 to say, oh, I'm Howard Stern. People were lined up around 7th 1901 01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:09,240 day Ave. work with me. Old Howard Stern, not, not Karen 1902 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:13,680 Howard Stern, but I'm not saying that at all, but it was, it was 1903 01:34:13,680 --> 01:34:16,120 pretty eye opening. I'm like, wow, a lot of people 1904 01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:18,280 want to jump into this and I, I just, I don't know, I, there was 1905 01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:22,840 something about you. It, there was a steadiness that 1906 01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:26,280 I thought would be good to offset my, you know, my, my 1907 01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:29,080 whole thing or whatever, my whole thing, you know, and then 1908 01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:30,840 we had work together. You were very good. 1909 01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:32,880 You were very diligent, very responsible. 1910 01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:36,160 I do like the Syracuse background and up and Comer, so 1911 01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:38,160 it was a natural fit. But I I appreciate you saying 1912 01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:38,880 that, man. Yeah. 1913 01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:43,040 Man, I mean, it's just this has been it like this has been to 1914 01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:46,760 me, you know, this is the almost like the launching point for my 1915 01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:49,240 career sort of deal. You know, I had my little time 1916 01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:52,080 in Odyssey where, you know, I'm getting the reins, learning the 1917 01:34:52,080 --> 01:34:54,040 stuff. But for me, like the way I view 1918 01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,200 this is this is it, you know what I'm saying? 1919 01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:59,040 This is where we take off so. I had a boy Jay, right that. 1920 01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:01,720 Let's get after it. That is great to hear me. 1921 01:35:02,000 --> 01:35:04,480 Did anybody chime in on the on the border? 1922 01:35:04,520 --> 01:35:05,920 Anybody. Oh, yeah, yeah, We've got a 1923 01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:09,360 We've got a few. All right, so we've got looks. 1924 01:35:09,360 --> 01:35:10,600 Good. Here's the first one. 1925 01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:11,040 Looks. Good. 1926 01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:14,880 It looks good. One now here's here's 1 border. 1927 01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:18,080 Not bad, wasn't necessary. Fair, so there's. 1928 01:35:18,480 --> 01:35:19,520 It's good. It's good. 1929 01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:22,440 Not needed. Here's and then here's the big 1930 01:35:22,440 --> 01:35:24,360 one. I think it looks fantastic. 1931 01:35:24,360 --> 01:35:26,600 That's what I'm saying. I knew it would look good. 1932 01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:30,400 I really did. You know, like I am a pretty. 1933 01:35:30,520 --> 01:35:34,360 I don't always know how to do it, but usually I don't know my 1934 01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:36,840 guy. I think my I'm a good writer, 1935 01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:38,720 like I've said, like that's how I was over. 1936 01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:40,160 That's how I really got through school. 1937 01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:43,160 Like I would, you know, get bad grades on quizzes and tests. 1938 01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:45,080 And then when it was time to write, I would get an A because 1939 01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:46,600 I was a good write and I enjoyed it, right. 1940 01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:49,400 So I balance it out and pretty much go home with AC or AC plus 1941 01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:53,560 or AB minus, right. But I I also have AI think a 1942 01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:56,600 fairly creative I I just and I was as I was. 1943 01:35:56,720 --> 01:35:58,760 But sometimes you imagine something in your own mind and 1944 01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:00,480 then you actually see like that looks awful. 1945 01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:02,440 I think it pops. I don't think it's too much like 1946 01:36:02,440 --> 01:36:05,440 it doesn't overwhelm the screen. So I think we keep it for a 1947 01:36:05,440 --> 01:36:06,600 little bit. I I really do. 1948 01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:08,240 I think we roll with. It I say, yeah, yeah. 1949 01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:10,840 I say we roll with it. See, you know, see if maybe down 1950 01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:12,600 the line we can think of anything a little better. 1951 01:36:12,600 --> 01:36:14,160 But for now, yeah, let's keep it. 1952 01:36:14,160 --> 01:36:15,320 Let's keep it all. Right. 1953 01:36:15,320 --> 01:36:20,680 So we got Geno, I guess, Max. Crosby would be the only other 1954 01:36:20,680 --> 01:36:22,720 thing, maybe. Yeah, I, I it's funny, I had 1955 01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:24,960 that written down too that that's that's interesting. 1956 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:26,800 The old now. I mean, you guys know what 1957 01:36:26,800 --> 01:36:28,400 happened. So I don't need to reset that 1958 01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:32,360 where it becomes interesting for all these teams around the NFL. 1959 01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:34,640 And if you missed it, Trey Hendrickson got a four year deal 1960 01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:37,080 with the Ravens immediate immediate pivot. 1961 01:36:37,320 --> 01:36:39,840 So he goes from being on Joe Burrows team to go and try to 1962 01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:41,880 crush Joe Burrow. Good move, very quick. 1963 01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:44,880 And that's what listen, that's why the Ravens or the Ravens, 1964 01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:47,880 that's why the Ravens are always keeping their head above water. 1965 01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:49,960 I know they haven't won a championship in a long time. 1966 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:51,200 I get it. I know that they've got a new 1967 01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:51,960 coach. I get it. 1968 01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:55,320 But like that is a well run forward thinking incredibly 1969 01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:58,280 functional winning franchise because they had a plan. 1970 01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:00,000 It was aggressive. They gave up two first round 1971 01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:02,240 picks to get Max Crosby. They thought they were getting 1972 01:37:02,240 --> 01:37:03,520 their all pro. They had them. 1973 01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,200 They do the physical, their doctors fail them back to the 1974 01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:07,160 Raiders. All right. 1975 01:37:07,320 --> 01:37:12,200 It's not like what do we do that Bang Hendrickson got him And and 1976 01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:14,760 really you can make the case even though obviously Max Crosby 1977 01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:17,520 is better than Hendrickson. I mean, Crosby is just 1978 01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:20,240 different. But you know, if the production, 1979 01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:25,800 if it's about within 75%, like if Hendrickson, even if he could 1980 01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:29,560 give you 70%, I'm of the mindset, excuse me, it's 1981 01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:35,760 probably better long term growth and an asset retention to sign 1982 01:37:35,760 --> 01:37:39,200 somebody like like Hendrickson rather than giving up two first 1983 01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:42,720 round picks and paying Crosby, Mike, if you're getting similar. 1984 01:37:42,720 --> 01:37:46,720 Now, if Crosby were to come out and get 17 sacks and Hendrickson 1985 01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:49,400 gets 5 1/2, well, it's a little different. 1986 01:37:49,560 --> 01:37:52,720 I don't think that that there's that quite that big of a 1987 01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,320 disparity. So that's the Ravens perspective 1988 01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:56,800 where it gets interesting though. 1989 01:37:56,840 --> 01:37:59,520 And this is where any team can jump in. 1990 01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:01,840 The Giants could jump in, The Jets could, I mean, literally 1991 01:38:01,840 --> 01:38:05,760 any team in the NFL. Now, the Raiders, because they 1992 01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:09,200 thought that Crosby was off their books, they have committed 1993 01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:13,240 to other contracts, all right? And at 4:00 PM today, these 1994 01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:16,560 contracts become official. So you've got a you can renege, 1995 01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:20,160 which obviously the Ravens did based on the medicals and pivot. 1996 01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:24,400 But the problem for the Raiders, I mean, not the problem, but 1997 01:38:24,400 --> 01:38:26,000 something that they're going to have to, they're going to still 1998 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,200 have to trade Max Crosby somewhere because they've 1999 01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:31,680 committed a fairly exorbitant amount of money around around 2000 01:38:31,680 --> 01:38:34,360 their roster to new players. Now they could, I guess they 2001 01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:37,400 could tell the new players like the Ravens, you know, told them 2002 01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:39,960 now we're good. So I know we all, we agreed to 3 2003 01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:41,800 or 70 million dollars, 36 guaranteed. 2004 01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:46,200 I'm just throwing numbers out. But because Crosby is back, you 2005 01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:47,720 go somewhere else. I mean, they could do that. 2006 01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:49,440 It's probably bad for business, but you could. 2007 01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:54,240 I think what happens now, especially since Hendrickson is 2008 01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:58,880 off the market, there's there's really just a a shortage of game 2009 01:38:58,880 --> 01:39:02,840 changing edge rushers that you could go and get Max Crosby's 2010 01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:05,200 one of them. And now because, and really the 2011 01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:07,640 only one certainly at that level now because the Raiders are in a 2012 01:39:07,640 --> 01:39:11,800 pinch, well, now maybe somebody else could get Max Crosby on 2013 01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:16,320 who's a stud on $0.80 on the dollar because the Raiders just 2014 01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:19,280 have to find a trading partner who's willing to take Max 2015 01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:21,000 Crosby. Now he's going to have a lot of 2016 01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:24,240 suitors. But I like if listen, if I am a 2017 01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:28,280 general manager, the first thing that listen, cutting deals is 2018 01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:31,920 all about being proactive. Like, you know, The Jets with 2019 01:39:31,920 --> 01:39:35,160 sauce and doing stuff like that. The Colts were really good and 2020 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:37,200 just before they lost basically every game to finish up. 2021 01:39:37,480 --> 01:39:39,760 They're thinking they can mess around and win a Super Bowl. 2022 01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:42,560 And Moogie's like, we're not going to win anytime soon. 2023 01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:44,840 Let me get rid of him. Let me get rid of Q Let me get 2024 01:39:44,840 --> 01:39:47,680 all these round picks. That's being proactive and and 2025 01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:51,280 that's reacting to the moment, right very smartly, very 2026 01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:53,800 proactively, very aggressively, right, very intelligently. 2027 01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:58,040 Well, now if I'm a GM, I'm going to be opportunistic and I'm 2028 01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:00,320 going to call up the Raiders and I know I got them by the short 2029 01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:01,320 ones. I'm going to say hey dude, 2030 01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:04,560 listen, hey, my problem we got they got reneged. 2031 01:40:04,840 --> 01:40:06,680 I know you still got to trade them because you brought this 2032 01:40:06,680 --> 01:40:09,880 guy in, that guy in this guy and that guy and your books are all 2033 01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:12,280 cooked. So I'll give you one first round 2034 01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:15,600 pick and a third round pick or a second round pick or whatever it 2035 01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:20,200 might be that is short of A2 first round pick package for Max 2036 01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:22,440 Crosby. So that's what I think is going 2037 01:40:22,440 --> 01:40:24,760 to happen. Now you want to tell me that 2038 01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:26,240 there's a chance that the Raiders stand? 2039 01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:29,920 Firm and that they restructure and they whatever they do 2040 01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:32,440 magically with the numbers, which every NFL team could do, 2041 01:40:32,720 --> 01:40:37,400 it's funny you'll see these like predicted cap space and 2042 01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:39,760 effective cap space and we did the effective cap space the 2043 01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:41,600 other day If you guys want to get into it, it's on the 2044 01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,640 channel. But there are teams like minus 2045 01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:48,200 $11 million in cap space and then they magically rework 7 2046 01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:50,880 deals and they're, they've got a surplus of $25 million. 2047 01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:52,880 That's why the numbers are so fungible. 2048 01:40:52,880 --> 01:40:56,840 I can't stand the math of NFL contracts as as an aside, but 2049 01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:59,880 it's going to be very interesting to see who pounces 2050 01:40:59,880 --> 01:41:02,960 on this very vulnerable situation for the Raiders. 2051 01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:06,560 It really, really does. Now I'm, I tweeted yesterday, 2052 01:41:06,560 --> 01:41:09,640 I'm like, you know, get cooking, Mooji, maybe a little prisoner 2053 01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:11,440 of the moment. Truth of the matter is it, it 2054 01:41:11,440 --> 01:41:14,880 doesn't fit The Jets timeline. Certainly you're not giving up 2055 01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:16,760 two first round picks. That makes no sense cuz you got 2056 01:41:16,760 --> 01:41:18,120 to get your quarterback at some point. 2057 01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:22,040 But like if, if it's a really diminished deal, and I said 70 2058 01:41:22,040 --> 01:41:24,920 or $0.80 on the dollar, I don't know what if it gets to $0.60 on 2059 01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:26,840 the dollar? Because a lot of these teams 2060 01:41:26,840 --> 01:41:29,120 have already done their heavy lifting contractually in terms 2061 01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:32,240 of free agency and now they could be made official. 2062 01:41:32,560 --> 01:41:35,640 So you might have other teams forget about the Raiders. 2063 01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:38,640 You might have other teams that did stuff that might now say, 2064 01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:41,600 all right, we're going to get out of this deal because we can 2065 01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:44,400 now go get Max Crosby. It's going to be interesting. 2066 01:41:44,400 --> 01:41:46,560 I don't know. Usually I have a prediction. 2067 01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:52,040 I don't really feel compelled to make one except saying that I 2068 01:41:52,040 --> 01:41:53,000 don't think he's going to be back. 2069 01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:55,680 I know he's back literally with the Raiders now, like back with 2070 01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:57,080 them. I don't think he's going to play 2071 01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:59,560 from this year. And it just takes 1 smart 2072 01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:02,280 forward thinking GM to jump in while they're vulnerable. 2073 01:42:02,600 --> 01:42:05,040 Get yourself a steal, go make yourself a deal. 2074 01:42:05,040 --> 01:42:09,240 Why not, you know, maybe the Giants trade. 2075 01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:10,920 I mean, I know they don't love Kaymon. 2076 01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:13,600 Trade Kaymon, get Max Crosby and do something like, I don't know, 2077 01:42:13,960 --> 01:42:15,040 somebody's going to do something. 2078 01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:18,400 Watch the Niners will get him like some really well run team. 2079 01:42:18,720 --> 01:42:20,880 Buffalo will get him. Yeah. 2080 01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:24,640 The teams that are always, you know, the the Ravens try to the 2081 01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:27,200 Steelers will get him right. Like, but I could probably tell 2082 01:42:27,200 --> 01:42:31,320 you who won't get him. The Cardinals, The Jets, the 2083 01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:36,440 Browns, you know, Oh my God. Any text worth reading before I 2084 01:42:36,440 --> 01:42:37,720 bounce here? It's been a good help me. 2085 01:42:37,720 --> 01:42:39,440 Just about a 2 hour show there, J Rod. 2086 01:42:39,440 --> 01:42:41,000 Let's see anything jumping out there, brother? 2087 01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:43,800 Not. Seeing, I mean, I'm just seeing 2088 01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:47,720 a lot of a lot of people hyped about that BF and T honestly. 2089 01:42:47,880 --> 01:42:49,200 Yeah, they loved it. I'm. 2090 01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:54,200 I'm seeing J Rod strive to be a producer like Dove. 2091 01:42:54,440 --> 01:42:55,120 No, no. Dove. 2092 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:56,280 Dove. Oh, my God. 2093 01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:57,600 It's OK. It's OK. 2094 01:42:57,760 --> 01:42:59,600 I know you know that. Dove I missed. 2095 01:43:00,920 --> 01:43:03,880 Yeah, yeah, what a what a sweetheart, man, What a 2096 01:43:03,880 --> 01:43:06,200 gentleman. Dove was great like. 2097 01:43:06,840 --> 01:43:08,920 I got to get in the temple some more for that too. 2098 01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:10,280 Man you. Do I got. 2099 01:43:10,320 --> 01:43:12,280 I don't let Dove know that you're skipping out on Temple. 2100 01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:15,520 I mean, man, he'll, he'll, he'll, he'll, he'll light you 2101 01:43:15,560 --> 01:43:18,440 up. Dove is one of the most 2102 01:43:18,440 --> 01:43:20,200 beautiful human beings I've ever met. 2103 01:43:20,320 --> 01:43:23,480 He really is a good man. Now, I'll also say he was very 2104 01:43:23,480 --> 01:43:25,240 frustrating at times to work with. 2105 01:43:25,480 --> 01:43:27,560 Don't take this the wrong way. If somebody's going to clip this 2106 01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:29,960 and it's going to think I'm clowning on Dove, I'm not. 2107 01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:33,640 I really love the guy and he's a lifer and he's a great person, 2108 01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:39,280 but like sometimes he would like he was so literal with the rate 2109 01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:42,360 like me and Sal, we tell him to do something or me Tiki never 2110 01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:44,320 told. I would tell him, you know, like 2111 01:43:44,320 --> 01:43:47,800 hey, have this ready or I'd open up his mic and I'd like I'd hope 2112 01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:49,880 like and then I just thought I'm like, it's not his thing. 2113 01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:52,800 Like for a witty response, like, you know, evidentique, he could 2114 01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:55,040 say, all right, you know, Morash say something or Tommy say 2115 01:43:55,040 --> 01:43:59,040 something back in the day, you know, or even Al or or you know, 2116 01:43:59,080 --> 01:44:02,160 schizarry with the morning show, basically every show but ours, 2117 01:44:02,160 --> 01:44:03,440 and we had hafu could do that too. 2118 01:44:03,440 --> 01:44:07,000 But with dove, like the the show would come through a screeching 2119 01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:10,160 halt. His timing, his his comedic 2120 01:44:10,160 --> 01:44:13,800 timing was not good, But everything else about that man 2121 01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:16,800 is a genuinely phenomenal, fantastic human being. 2122 01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:20,640 You know, I was thinking about I don't I don't know, I don't 2123 01:44:20,640 --> 01:44:23,520 know, like I know that there's a good amount of hits with La 2124 01:44:23,520 --> 01:44:25,760 Greca. Kay did very well terms, you 2125 01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:28,000 know, Instagram and and obviously YouTube and all the 2126 01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,880 other stuff and Stephen A is going to explode and when we get 2127 01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:34,080 a rod on and Boone on Pitino was pretty good numbers as well. 2128 01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:36,840 I don't know, You think it would be worth having like somebody 2129 01:44:36,840 --> 01:44:39,120 like Mink on for a little bit to talk about the history of the 2130 01:44:39,120 --> 01:44:41,200 station? Oh, I think that would be 2131 01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:42,600 awesome. You think think so I. 2132 01:44:42,600 --> 01:44:44,960 Think it'd be super cool, yeah. But he's not a great 2133 01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:46,280 storyteller. Sure. 2134 01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:47,480 OK. He's not. 2135 01:44:48,120 --> 01:44:50,280 See, he's a little. Bit like dove in that. 2136 01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:53,080 Regard yeah, I mean that might make it a little tough. 2137 01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:56,640 I just I mean, and this just might be me, you know, I I think 2138 01:44:56,640 --> 01:45:00,240 I'm a little bit different from, you know, your direct audience. 2139 01:45:00,240 --> 01:45:02,960 Like I always find it interesting like these 2140 01:45:02,960 --> 01:45:06,600 conversations where they really get into the weeds about like 2141 01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:09,880 the industry stuff and they kind of go behind the scenes. 2142 01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:12,640 I always find that interesting just because it kind of, you 2143 01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:15,440 know, shows the process of like how the shows you watch, you 2144 01:45:15,480 --> 01:45:18,560 know, get put together. But I'm, you know, not sure if 2145 01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:20,920 other people are so. I, I think people love that. 2146 01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:23,800 I think if you, if you look at anything, that's why I like the 2147 01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:25,760 rating. Like the radio wars when there 2148 01:45:25,760 --> 01:45:28,760 was ratings battles, like anytime Raisman would write 2149 01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:31,840 something or anytime Marshan would weigh in with ratings 2150 01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:36,160 news, The Michael Kay Show, Mike Francesa, you know, Eddie Show. 2151 01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:38,280 I mean, really, if you think about it like for a long time 2152 01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:41,400 that that was, that was really, really good content because 2153 01:45:41,400 --> 01:45:42,880 people crave that. I actually think that they 2154 01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:46,240 really would, yeah, value some of those old stories, especially 2155 01:45:46,240 --> 01:45:47,760 the older fans. WhatsApp. 2156 01:45:47,960 --> 01:45:49,960 Yeah, he said. Anyone that you can bring on the 2157 01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:52,920 show to talk about the history of the fan, I feel the fans of 2158 01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:54,800 this channel would certainly appreciate. 2159 01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:57,000 I agree with that. Yeah, I I do agree with that. 2160 01:45:57,000 --> 01:45:59,640 And I know somebody asked me what about Mike Francesa. 2161 01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:02,160 I I was texting with Mike the other day about something. 2162 01:46:02,160 --> 01:46:04,000 Yeah. Any interest in having Francesa 2163 01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:05,760 on Avery? Absolute interest. 2164 01:46:05,760 --> 01:46:08,120 And I'm going to, I'm, it's funny, I, I saw Mike. 2165 01:46:08,880 --> 01:46:10,880 What night was that may have been the Villanova game. 2166 01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:12,320 He was at the game with the sun, St. 2167 01:46:12,320 --> 01:46:15,600 John's at the Garden. I know he's been to a few games 2168 01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:17,840 this year, maybe 3 weeks ago, something like that. 2169 01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:20,600 Maybe it was right after the UConn beat town, then beat down, 2170 01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:22,360 then St. John's won by 30, whatever it 2171 01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:24,400 was. And I saw, I saw Mike on the 2172 01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:29,240 court before the game. And again, Mike's Mike's a tough 2173 01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:34,080 nut to crack on occasion, on occasion, but I've got to not 2174 01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,000 oversell on this here. We don't talk on the phone, the 2175 01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:39,440 occasional text here. But I do have at least a decent 2176 01:46:39,440 --> 01:46:41,360 relationship with Mike, even though we had that blow up back 2177 01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:43,960 in the day. Anyway, so I I see him and I had 2178 01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:46,560 met his son one other time, good young man playing college 2179 01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:49,720 football. And we were talking shooting the 2180 01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:51,040 shit. And I said, hey, I said Mike, I 2181 01:46:51,040 --> 01:46:52,920 said, would you, I see, you know, I know you're not a big 2182 01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:55,040 podcast guy. Would you would you come on my 2183 01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:57,120 new podcast? And I already knew. 2184 01:46:57,120 --> 01:47:00,280 So I beat him to the punch. I said not to talk about the new 2185 01:47:00,280 --> 01:47:03,560 shows or carton. I know their relationship, even 2186 01:47:03,560 --> 01:47:05,080 though Craig said he would. He would have lunch with him. 2187 01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:07,680 I guess I saw that the other day and he would break bread after 2188 01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:09,000 that. That, that, that, that, that. 2189 01:47:09,080 --> 01:47:10,680 Frosty. Relationship, you see that? 2190 01:47:11,040 --> 01:47:12,920 Yeah, I saw. That I just wanted to beat him 2191 01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:14,680 to the punch. Like, not about me and Sal 2192 01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:17,160 getting bounced. Just about, you know, the 2193 01:47:17,200 --> 01:47:21,840 Yankees and the Giants and the draft and early you and dog and 2194 01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:23,360 stuff. He's like, yeah, he's like, I 2195 01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:25,240 would do that. So Mike actually said he would. 2196 01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:29,640 Come on, I'll get him on. I watched a 2 hour, maybe not 2197 01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:32,120 that long but it was like an hour compilation of just like 2198 01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:35,680 his funniest moments yesterday. You did roll and do. 2199 01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:36,960 What was the funniest one to you? 2200 01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:40,520 My gosh, there's this one. Well, this one was just wild. 2201 01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:44,320 This one dude called and he was like and he was like, is there a 2202 01:47:44,320 --> 01:47:48,480 possibility that an MLB team could go 162 and O? 2203 01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:51,080 And then Mike? Just starts going he was like, 2204 01:47:51,200 --> 01:47:54,880 yeah, kid, don't you remember when the Bulls went 81 and one 2205 01:47:54,880 --> 01:47:57,360 back in 96?

Mike usually doesn't present it 2211 01:48:06,960 --> 01:48:08,920 that way. Usually when somebody calls with 2212 01:48:08,920 --> 01:48:11,240 something dopey Mike, you'll get the hand wave from Mike. 2213 01:48:11,240 --> 01:48:13,040 You know, get the What do you?

But here's the thing. 2236 01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:15,400 When you're on air for that long for 20 something years and then 2237 01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:18,080 you've got now you went to the digital world and you're 2238 01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:20,280 simulcast on yes, as he was all those years. 2239 01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:23,640 You can have a moment or two like where it's like, all right, 2240 01:49:23,640 --> 01:49:26,240 meant something went wrong. So you know, whatever. 2241 01:49:26,240 --> 01:49:28,800 I mean, Mike's far from perfect, I can promise you that. 2242 01:49:28,800 --> 01:49:31,520 But I mean we've all had moments on the air where it's like, 2243 01:49:31,600 --> 01:49:34,240 jeez, why did that happen or why did I do that or what the fuck 2244 01:49:34,240 --> 01:49:35,360 happened? How did I mess that up? 2245 01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:38,120 All right, so I guess, I guess you guys would want to hear a 2246 01:49:38,120 --> 01:49:40,200 little bit about that, but I guess you know why I've 2247 01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:41,560 hesitated. I'm going to let you go here. 2248 01:49:42,840 --> 01:49:46,600 What I don't want this content to be about is me just waxing 2249 01:49:46,600 --> 01:49:49,320 about WFAN because quite frankly, I just don't care that 2250 01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:51,760 much anymore. I don't, I don't care what, like 2251 01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:54,120 why should I care that much about them when they didn't care 2252 01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:56,240 enough to keep me? I'm just keeping it real. 2253 01:49:57,440 --> 01:49:59,160 Like, why? Like I'm not going to do a 2254 01:49:59,160 --> 01:50:03,840 channel on, you know, the history of WFAN over and over. 2255 01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:06,480 That's I have no interest in doing that now. 2256 01:50:06,480 --> 01:50:10,120 I grew up loving WFAN. And even though I just said what 2257 01:50:10,120 --> 01:50:12,600 I said, I, I still respect the company. 2258 01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:16,560 You know, they made a decision, as I've said many times, I 2259 01:50:16,600 --> 01:50:18,320 absolutely think it was the wrong one. 2260 01:50:18,320 --> 01:50:20,680 I think they got rid of the wrong show, whatever. 2261 01:50:21,440 --> 01:50:23,800 I don't own the company, so I don't control that. 2262 01:50:23,880 --> 01:50:25,600 I can only react to what they did. 2263 01:50:25,800 --> 01:50:28,800 And here we are reacting to what they did and we'll become bigger 2264 01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:33,680 than we ever were. But I think that for me, it's 2265 01:50:33,680 --> 01:50:37,800 not very appealing to always go back to, you know, and I was 2266 01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:40,560 only there a couple years, but I mean, just the history, you 2267 01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:42,880 know, I got other things to do. But I do think, you know, in 2268 01:50:42,880 --> 01:50:46,560 selected spots there it will be, of course, I'm going to get Sal 2269 01:50:46,560 --> 01:50:48,440 back up soon. That's different because we were 2270 01:50:48,440 --> 01:50:50,960 partners. I'd love to get Mike on for at 2271 01:50:50,960 --> 01:50:55,120 least once there. I will maybe the maybe we will 2272 01:50:55,120 --> 01:50:57,640 do the Minko. Maybe we will do the Minko angle 2273 01:50:57,640 --> 01:51:00,640 because I could tie in with Mink Saint John's, the NCAA 2274 01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:02,240 Tournament. Maybe, maybe I'll do something 2275 01:51:02,240 --> 01:51:04,200 like that with Mink. But I'm not going to relive the 2276 01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:05,720 past. There's a line, Jay, I don't 2277 01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:08,520 know if you remember this line. I don't know if it's verbatim, 2278 01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:11,600 but there's a line where Tony says in The Sopranos, like the 2279 01:51:11,600 --> 01:51:15,160 smallest form of human communication begins missing. 2280 01:51:15,600 --> 01:51:17,080 Oh, I remember. Remember. 2281 01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:19,440 Yeah, remember when? Oh, OK, there we go. 2282 01:51:19,640 --> 01:51:21,320 And what he means by that, it's pretty basic. 2283 01:51:21,320 --> 01:51:23,520 But if you don't really know what he means, what, what what 2284 01:51:23,520 --> 01:51:27,040 he's saying is if all you do is sit around and say, oh, remember 2285 01:51:27,040 --> 01:51:30,240 when, remember when. Like if you always have to rely 2286 01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:32,800 on remember when, you're probably not creating very 2287 01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:34,680 interesting stuff. Now, now that's my. 2288 01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:37,720 No, I mean, that's, that's the truth about life. 2289 01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:41,080 That's the truth about obviously not only content creation, but 2290 01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:45,960 like, like the man Tony said, just conversation in general. 2291 01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:49,200 Like, you know, the reminiscing it doesn't it get, you know, 2292 01:51:49,320 --> 01:51:51,800 obviously can get you a little nostalgic, but it doesn't get 2293 01:51:51,800 --> 01:51:55,440 you anywhere progressive. Correct, correct. 100%. 2294 01:51:55,560 --> 01:51:56,920 Now that's that's going to happen. 2295 01:51:56,920 --> 01:52:00,600 Susan will absolutely come on. Love Susan. 2296 01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:02,120 She joined Sam and I quite a bit. 2297 01:52:02,120 --> 01:52:05,120 We had her on a lot on the fan, so she is awesome. 2298 01:52:05,760 --> 01:52:08,400 Yep, she's on my list. I've actually on one of my notes 2299 01:52:08,400 --> 01:52:10,520 I've got. I came up with like 67 names. 2300 01:52:10,520 --> 01:52:13,320 I was just literally going through my phone, Jay on Sunday, 2301 01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:16,600 sitting in here doing some stuff, getting getting ready and 2302 01:52:16,600 --> 01:52:19,400 I went from A-Z and I just wrote down every name. 2303 01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:22,160 Now some there was already like 15 names already on the list, 2304 01:52:22,160 --> 01:52:24,480 but just wrote down that that could be interesting up. 2305 01:52:24,480 --> 01:52:26,400 Yep, still have his number up. Got her number. 2306 01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:28,280 Like that's good. Oh, the other one I'm gonna have 2307 01:52:28,320 --> 01:52:30,240 Nikki Ladarullo. You know, Nikki from SNY. 2308 01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:33,640 Nikki Nikki Ladarullo let. Me look up a picture real quick. 2309 01:52:33,640 --> 01:52:35,560 Yeah, you'll, you'll know, you'll if you see her, you'll 2310 01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:37,040 know her. She does a lot of stuff for S&Y 2311 01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:38,560 and she's done a lot of stuff on the St. 2312 01:52:38,560 --> 01:52:41,560 John's beat that's basically turned into one of her beats. 2313 01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:44,240 So she's been at a lot of St. John's. 2314 01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:46,400 Oh, yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2315 01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:49,920 Yeah, always interviews Rick on the, you know, in the bowels of 2316 01:52:49,920 --> 01:52:52,040 the Garden. And she did travel up to 2317 01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:55,040 Providence last year for the NCAA Tournament and she's going 2318 01:52:55,040 --> 01:52:57,400 to travel this year too. So I, I saw, I mean, I see her a 2319 01:52:57,400 --> 01:52:59,160 lot, but I said, Hey, would you come on the show? 2320 01:52:59,160 --> 01:53:01,720 She's like, absolutely. She's a young she because she's 2321 01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:04,800 one of the few like she's young. I think she's my, I don't want 2322 01:53:04,800 --> 01:53:06,960 to give out a woman's age, but I know that she's fairly young. 2323 01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:09,320 Certainly everybody's young compared to me at this point in 2324 01:53:09,320 --> 01:53:12,920 the industry, most people. But she, she's definitely 2325 01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:14,160 younger than 30, put it that way. 2326 01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:17,920 And she she's one of those young St. 2327 01:53:17,920 --> 01:53:20,800 John's fans, like she loves St. John's from the time like she 2328 01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:24,320 post pictures of like when she's two years old holding like a St. 2329 01:53:24,320 --> 01:53:26,360 John's basketball. So I think it would be pretty. 2330 01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:29,360 Plus she's very good at her job and she's younger and she's cool 2331 01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:31,040 and she's one of the new broadcasters. 2332 01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:32,120 So she's definitely going to come up. 2333 01:53:32,120 --> 01:53:35,920 But the point is I've got a full page of everybody that I want. 2334 01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:39,640 So as you can tell, the guest becoming more prominent K was 2335 01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:41,240 money. The Greca was great. 2336 01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:44,240 If you guys just tuned in, communicated with Stephen A 2337 01:53:44,240 --> 01:53:48,640 yesterday, he's going to come on in all probability next week. 2338 01:53:48,640 --> 01:53:49,960 He's got a little medical procedure. 2339 01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:52,320 As long as he's OK, we'll lock it in next week. 2340 01:53:52,320 --> 01:53:53,520 I've got to work it around my St. 2341 01:53:53,520 --> 01:53:56,160 John's travel. We'll get Mink up for the 2342 01:53:56,160 --> 01:53:57,760 tournament. We'll get Sal back on. 2343 01:53:58,040 --> 01:54:00,960 We got the BT and Sal show coming up and I checked the 2344 01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:02,840 tickets. There's definitely still some 2345 01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:04,440 left. Decent amount have been sold. 2346 01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:08,000 It's in Wantah. It is at Mulcahy's, which is a 2347 01:54:08,000 --> 01:54:11,080 great venue. Francesca used to do his NFL 2348 01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:12,200 Sunday show. They were a lot. 2349 01:54:12,560 --> 01:54:14,960 It's in Wantaho, Long Island, and it's going to be April 2nd. 2350 01:54:14,960 --> 01:54:16,760 It's me. It's Sal, and it's our buddy 2351 01:54:16,760 --> 01:54:19,200 Carl Banks. So Carl's going to be up there. 2352 01:54:19,200 --> 01:54:21,080 And it's actually, it's a sick venue. 2353 01:54:21,320 --> 01:54:23,360 When I used to go there, it was just a cool bar. 2354 01:54:23,640 --> 01:54:24,840 Now it's.

And I was going out to Long 2404 01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:35,040 Island and I was going to spend the night right. 2405 01:56:35,440 --> 01:56:39,800 And I would guess up at a mobile with my little Honda Civic, 2406 01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:41,800 which was brand new, but I had 10 bucks a gas. 2407 01:56:42,200 --> 01:56:43,840 I get a tennis skull long cut Wintergreen. 2408 01:56:43,840 --> 01:56:47,000 I get a bottle of water and I'd have like 3-4 bucks leftover for 2409 01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:49,560 a slice of pizza. Now, I mean, that sounds like 2410 01:56:49,560 --> 01:56:52,000 the 1950s, but but it actually you could do that. 2411 01:56:52,400 --> 01:56:55,080 Now a car wash, you know, you got to get the lava, you got to 2412 01:56:55,080 --> 01:56:57,240 get got 9000 different variations. 2413 01:56:57,240 --> 01:57:00,480 You got the presidential suite. Just wash the car, will you? 2414 01:57:00,880 --> 01:57:02,440 Right. And and what I can't stand is 2415 01:57:02,440 --> 01:57:04,680 when they wash the outside and they don't do anything to these. 2416 01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:07,520 I can wash the outside. I need the inside done. 2417 01:57:07,840 --> 01:57:10,520 So what I do is, and I don't know if you've seen this, I 2418 01:57:10,520 --> 01:57:12,000 don't know if you're a car wash guy. 2419 01:57:12,280 --> 01:57:14,280 I'm a car. I'm not snobby about much. 2420 01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:16,960 I'm a, I'm a weather snob. I always know what the weather 2421 01:57:16,960 --> 01:57:19,040 is going to be. And I'm a car wash now and I'm a 2422 01:57:19,040 --> 01:57:21,160 baseball gear and a, and a content snob. 2423 01:57:21,160 --> 01:57:24,240 That's about it, right? And I had this deal. 2424 01:57:24,240 --> 01:57:26,880 I've done this for a long time where I pay, I think it's like 2425 01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:30,520 70 bucks a month and it comes right out of my checking, like 2426 01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:31,560 right out of the boom, right out. 2427 01:57:31,840 --> 01:57:35,600 I could literally go and get the car washed every single day if I 2428 01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:37,520 want. My dad's got the same exact 2429 01:57:37,520 --> 01:57:40,120 thing. Your dad's smart, same exact 2430 01:57:40,160 --> 01:57:42,840 deal. Go in, go in whenever, any day, 2431 01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:44,600 and he'll go. In pretty often, once a week, 2432 01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:48,320 whatever, you know, just get it cleaned up, get the whole thing 2433 01:57:48,720 --> 01:57:50,560 done and it's like, yeah, what a deal. 2434 01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:53,000 Yeah, well, it's fun. I'm like my dad in this regard. 2435 01:57:53,000 --> 01:57:55,120 When I was younger now, we didn't have a brand new car when 2436 01:57:55,120 --> 01:57:58,560 I was, when I was my kids age now, but my dad was always an 2437 01:57:58,560 --> 01:58:01,960 early riser and he'd get up on Saturdays and he would go to 2438 01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:03,360 the, and I would go with him and I loved it. 2439 01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:06,280 My sister would sleep, right? But it was, you know, dad and 2440 01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:09,160 son going around because we, we then we'd go to practice, right? 2441 01:58:09,480 --> 01:58:12,920 We'd go to the cleaners, he'd go and get the newspapers and then 2442 01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:14,920 we'd go to the diner. Sometimes we go to the diner 2443 01:58:14,920 --> 01:58:18,080 after practice and we get the car wash and I just, I don't 2444 01:58:18,080 --> 01:58:21,080 know, it's like it's one of these small things in life that 2445 01:58:21,080 --> 01:58:23,960 is incredibly gratifying, the special, you know what I mean? 2446 01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:27,400 And I like to do that because a lot of times, like not this week 2447 01:58:27,400 --> 01:58:29,800 coming up, but the following week I'm going to be down in 2448 01:58:29,800 --> 01:58:32,640 Jackson, NJ, which is great adventure if you know the area 2449 01:58:33,680 --> 01:58:35,880 for my son for his first club tournament. 2450 01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:38,760 And it's about an hour and 15 minute ride, but it's early 2451 01:58:38,760 --> 01:58:40,720 enough and it's all good. It's a great facility, great 2452 01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:41,840 competition. Awesome, right? 2453 01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:44,760 But I'll get up early and, you know, I'll say, all right, Dad 2454 01:58:44,760 --> 01:58:47,080 is going to get the car washed. I'll get your Gatorade. 2455 01:58:47,120 --> 01:58:49,480 You know, the food's out, the uniform's out. 2456 01:58:49,800 --> 01:58:51,440 And I'll sometimes go and get a car wash. 2457 01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:53,640 So, you know, if I have a long ride in front of me. 2458 01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:56,080 Yeah. It's just a sense of calm when I 2459 01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:58,440 things are sparkling. And I got the music and I got. 2460 01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:00,080 Yeah, I just. No, I like it that way. 2461 01:59:00,480 --> 01:59:02,720 I like that good way to treat yourself. 2462 01:59:02,720 --> 01:59:05,160 I feel like a small. Thing it's all about a little 2463 01:59:05,440 --> 01:59:09,360 incremental joy there and really it makes economic sense because 2464 01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:12,480 now if you don't use it like sometimes, like if we go away, 2465 01:59:12,720 --> 01:59:14,600 you know, say if we're away at the beach for a week in the 2466 01:59:14,600 --> 01:59:17,800 summer or where Texas with the in laws, whatever it might be, 2467 01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:21,120 you know, maybe I only use it twice that month, then maybe you 2468 01:59:21,120 --> 01:59:22,520 could say, well, the value's not great. 2469 01:59:22,520 --> 01:59:25,320 But you know, generally I would say nine months of the year, 2470 01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:30,520 maybe even 10, I will get at least at least three, at least 2471 01:59:30,520 --> 01:59:31,800 four, well, at least once a week. 2472 01:59:31,800 --> 01:59:33,520 So it's always shiny. So I'm going to go do that. 2473 01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:35,560 Now I've got some other stuff to do. 2474 01:59:35,560 --> 01:59:37,160 I'm going to speak to Verizon tomorrow. 2475 01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:39,720 So I'm going to have to cut short a little tomorrow. 2476 01:59:40,960 --> 01:59:42,440 What's up? No, I think we have to leave 2477 01:59:42,440 --> 01:59:44,840 around 12. No, it actually probably be 2478 01:59:45,360 --> 01:59:47,560 probably be probably be a full show, probably be a full show 2479 01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:49,440 tomorrow. So that's all I got. 2480 01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:51,840 Anything before we roll.
