What's going on? 9 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000 Yeah, yeah. I'm not even going to waste much 10 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,960 time to start the show on, on how aggravated I was yesterday 11 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,400 over the smallest thing. Had a great day, right? 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,280 Went to medieval times, which somehow I've never done before. 13 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,960 And we had a blast, right? So anyway, I ordered these and 14 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,840 then I'm going to get into the show. 15 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,960 But it's got to give you a little, a little behind the 16 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,400 curtain because man, I was, I was so pissed yesterday. 17 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:49,200 So I ordered these things for the light because as you can 18 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,080 tell, it's still reflecting everywhere. 19 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,520 And I and the research that I did to get the right ones, I, I 20 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,400 can't even tell you how deeply I dove into finding these. 21 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,600 Right. Finally found them, order them. 22 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,360 It was supposed to come Sunday. I thought I'd have them for 23 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,880 Monday show. Not a big deal. 24 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,680 Roll with the punches, click by click, brick by brick. 25 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,040 It's all good. So when I get back from medieval 26 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,520 times, not there. I'm like, I'm kind of, I'm 27 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,960 waiting for like a kid on Christmas. 28 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,960 Finally around 738 o'clock at night, they show up and I tear 29 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:21,760 into the package. I'm like, let's go get the 30 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,200 ladder. Could not wait to go to work 31 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,840 because they're these kind of like these self affixing things 32 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,840 that you put over recessed lighting and it basically it 33 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,880 obscures the light coming this way, which is you can tell it's 34 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,680 still there anyway, what absolute garbage, what junk 35 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,200 these things were. I hang the first one. 36 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,760 There's four of them in my office, 4 recessed lights, 37 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,240 right? Hang the first one. 38 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,760 Such pride. I'm like, oh nice, I've got the 39 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,040 lights on. I could see that it's not 40 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,320 banging off the back anymore. I'm like here we go. 41 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,960 This is what I needed. Put up the second one. 42 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,880 As I'm putting up the second one, think the first one drops. 43 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,040 I'm like, you got to be kidding me. 44 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,400 All right then I go back, I put the ladder, I re reattach it, go 45 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,400 back to finishing the second one go to the third one. 46 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,960 Think think I almost put my fist through the wall and I but I but 47 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,400 I held it together. I inwardly I was about to 48 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,520 explode like a volcano because I can't stand getting 49 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,640 misrepresented like I didn't really know what the rules are 50 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:22,720 with with this. I'm going to stop short of 51 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,360 burying a company on YouTube because I don't want the channel 52 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,480 to get any. You know, I don't want to have 53 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,440 any issues with the show on the stream, but when I find out that 54 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,680 there are no issues in terms of saying what you want about a 55 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,080 product, this product is going to and this company is going to 56 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,600 I'm going to dismantle this company. 57 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,360 J Rod. It drove me. 58 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,480 Bonkers trying to no this is wild. 59 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,080 I, I I can't even tell you. And by the way, it would 60 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,360 actually be a lot worse. So then what do I do? 61 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,640 I run through a hardware store. I'm like trying to like, and I'm 62 00:02:55,640 --> 00:02:58,520 not listen, I'm not the handiest guy around the house. 63 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,160 I, I did some construction back in college, but that was demo 64 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,800 like I would come in with the sledgehammer and just smash 65 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,320 walls and, you know, grunt work and clean it up. 66 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,200 I got no problem working hard, but in terms of like building 67 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,120 and creating stuff, I'm not exactly that guy. 68 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,040 So I'm like, all right, we, we, we've got a, we've got a piece, 69 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,640 some plan together. I go to the hardware store. 70 00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:20,840 I'm looking for some sort of blackout, some sort of nothing, 71 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,360 nothing. You know, I, I knew they 72 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,240 wouldn't actually have recessed lighting covers that would be 73 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,000 too easy to black it out. So I wind up getting black, 74 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:34,000 black construction paper and I'm thumbtacking and black 75 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,720 sandpaper. So I'm thumbtacking back to the 76 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,800 top of the ceiling. So it drove me nuts. 77 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,560 But now that that's out of the way. 78 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,120 But when I find out what I can really do in terms of land 79 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,440 basting a company, a specific company without getting in 80 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,160 trouble, This company's getting no more business the rest of 81 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,400 their existence. I'm going to destroy you. 82 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,320 Get on them. I am going to eviscerate them. 83 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,160 I can't tell you how mad I was. So with that being said, hey, 84 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,440 rods back all good. Let's start the show. 85 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,240 All right, very interesting baseball day yesterday. 86 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,000 Listen, I know you guys love when we talk baseball. 87 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,440 So this is going to be a big baseball show. 88 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,480 I got a little something with NFL free agency as well. 89 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,560 But yesterday was a very, very interesting day for both the 90 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,880 Yankees and the Mets. Now, you know, you kind of go 91 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,120 through the the early phases of spring training couple of grand 92 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,240 it you know what's funny about spring training? 93 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,920 I do find this very interesting. Anytime you see any footage of 94 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000 anybody at spring training, they're never working hard. 95 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,360 Like they're always jogging every ground ball like you doing 96 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,920 a little. I, I saw the Yankees doing some 97 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,760 plays yesterday, infield up play to play. 98 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,040 I mean, my son could have caught those balls when he was five. 99 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,160 I mean, the, the exit below may have been 30 miles an hour. 100 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,560 Can we ramp it up a little bit? I mean, it's not like you got 101 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,560 Ozzy Smith and Don Mattingly out there. 102 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,560 Let's get these guys some work. I'm like, good God. 103 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,280 Anyway, I'm watching the the footage and like every Sprint is 104 00:05:00,280 --> 00:05:03,120 like a jog. Every throw is just like a 105 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,520 little lazy. Yeah, let me. 106 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,040 And I know they're stretching out the labrums. 107 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,680 Trust me, I get that. I'm kind of being facetious. 108 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,600 I know they're put in the work, but every time you see any sort 109 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,640 of outside of when they're hitting, did you see the bomb 110 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,200 that Judge hit yesterday off 103 mile per hour fastball? 111 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,480 My judge is ready, Judge. Judge is ready to hit and Judge 112 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,480 is ready to speak, which is what we start. 113 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,280 J Rod, get this up for me, please. 114 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,480 Wow. Now the Yankees are very 115 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,640 interesting. They are very, very lucky. 116 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,240 Little slow on that J Rod there, but that's OK. 117 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,000 The graphic. Look at that sick graphic. 118 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,640 Look at J Rod put in the time. Now this was Arrow Judge 119 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,200 yesterday. Quote. 120 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,000 I'm seeing other teams around the league get better. 121 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,280 They're making trades, they're signing big prospects or big 122 00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:48,560 players. And we kind of what we're 123 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,280 sitting there for a while kind of making smaller moves. 124 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,520 And here's the muddy part. And you can tell when this came 125 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,240 out of his mouth, he was kind of that like that reflexive. 126 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,760 All right, let me drop in an impish grin. 127 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,520 So everybody knows I'm not really crushing the Yankees. 128 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,960 But boy, oh boy, did this resonate because we've been 129 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,640 saying this forever. I was like, quote, we're the New 130 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,720 York Yankees. Let's go out there and get the 131 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,440 right people, get the right pieces and finish this thing 132 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,640 off. That was of course, the great 133 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,760 almighty, you know, incomparable, awesome, all time 134 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,880 legend Aaron Judge. Now I can get that off there 135 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,440 that that that really does look good. 136 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,080 I like that J Rod, well done. So see, first of all, the 137 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,040 Yankees are lucky that Aaron Judge is not a troublemaker like 138 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,440 they are lucky that their best player and the best player that 139 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,120 I've ever seen, you know, that I've ever seen with all the 140 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,520 respect to Griffey and maybe a young Mike Trout and a few 141 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,120 others. But it's it's Aaron Judge for me 142 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,680 and I think it's Aaron Judge for many. 143 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,120 It's debatable. It's fine, but just to keep it 144 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,520 moving for me, you know what's Judge? 145 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,120 But they are lucky that Ara Judge is wired in a way that 146 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,520 there's great sensitivity and great appreciation for what a 147 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,720 story can bring in terms of heat. 148 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,360 Because if you watch that, if you watch that, you could tell, 149 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,240 you know, because he gave it away a few times, like where he 150 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,480 incorporates that that big granite, He kind of goes like 151 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,280 this. He's like, and you know, right 152 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,520 there what's banging around his head, he is processing very 153 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,440 quickly. All right, I got to walk the 154 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,320 line of I'm not going too deep here, but I got to keep it a 155 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,680 little real. You know, I got to keep it a 156 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,800 buck. I got to. 157 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,800 And that's about as buck as Aaron Judge is going to get 158 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,080 because he's not combative. He's not emotionally 159 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,400 combustible. He is as steady and as good a 160 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,720 citizen as you could possibly employ. 161 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,440 I mean, he's just the best. So if it was me, and I'd like to 162 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,080 think I'm a good citizen as well, but I've got, I've got a 163 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,040 limit as to how far. Like if I'm him, I'm going to 164 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,640 sit there and keep my mouth shut and watch these other teams go 165 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,240 out there and do what they're doing. 166 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,280 And we're just pretty much running it back now. 167 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,000 I don't want to get back into the hole. 168 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,160 Oh, we're running it back. Oh, we're not running it back. 169 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,200 Conversation. We've had that a million ways 170 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,600 sideways. Gerrit Cole, more stars with 171 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,520 Schlittler. They're not exactly running it 172 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,400 back. But I mean, it's pretty freaking 173 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,160 close. I mean, if you really think 174 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,760 about it, maybe I will have to expand on this for a second. 175 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,400 Who's playing first base opening day? 176 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,040 Ben Rice, I love him. Who's playing second? 177 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,480 Jazz, He's back. Who's playing short Caballero, 178 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,720 then Bolby back, back. Who's playing third? 179 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,960 McMahon, Who's behind the plate? Austin Wells, who's in center, 180 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,520 Grisham, Who's in right Judge, Who's in left? 181 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,640 Bellinger, Who's the DH Stanton? I mean, if that's not the 182 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,120 ultimate definition of running it back, at least in terms of 183 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,039 the line up, I don't know what to tell. 184 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:37,760 You see the thing that's very interesting about this and I, I 185 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,039 do wish at times Aaron was a little more assertive. 186 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:43,520 Like I respect the way he handled this. 187 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:49,440 I, I respect the way he kind of, you know, mid delivery pivoted 188 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,360 to make sure it was all right. Let's, let's not have this thing 189 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,560 go off the rails here. He's a smart guy that is very 190 00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:57,360 good person. So we're not looking to stir 191 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,120 things up, you know, unnecessarily. 192 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,960 But I would have loved to have heard that a month and a half 193 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,760 ago. That's where it really would 194 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,440 have hit the mark. Could you imagine if Aaron Judge 195 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,840 would have said that 30 days ago, like before Bellinger 196 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,680 signed and, you know, we didn't know what was going on here. 197 00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:17,800 Could you imagine the the lightning that like the storm, 198 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,120 the tsunami of a of, of coverage and everybody chiming in. 199 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,040 Wow, Now you getting it a little bit today because he still said 200 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,040 it and it's and J Rod throw that back up once more if you can, 201 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,920 please. I just aesthetically it's very 202 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,120 look at that, like I see that I'm like, alright, I'm doing a 203 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,000 real show. Like now we're starting to 204 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,880 incorporate graphics. Oh, it's on. 205 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,080 I mean J Rod is it's one thing to do the show in the basement 206 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,240 with no real Wi-Fi and no microphone. 207 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,600 But look at that. I know the lighting sucks. 208 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,000 I get that, but man I got feel like I'm. 209 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,160 On real here, it's getting real. It's getting real, bro. 210 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,520 We are. It is getting real. 211 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,440 Like, I could feel this. This is great, but how about 212 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,920 like those 112 lines? Really three. 213 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,040 I was like, we're the New York Yankees. 214 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,320 Let's go out and get the right people and finish this thing 215 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,680 off. I mean, now I do think thank you 216 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:12,720 for that, Jay. Ron, I do think that, you know, 217 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,920 when we get into these conversations, I do think it's a 218 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,480 little misleading of the sense. Not that I just blindly defend 219 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,480 the Yankees. I crushed the Yankees as much as 220 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,800 anybody, at least Brian Cashman, right. 221 00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:28,000 But and how how to a lesser extent, but really Cashman from 222 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000 a baseball point of view has been the source of my 223 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,400 consternation more than anybody. You know that well, chronicled 224 00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:35,520 for years. Don't need to reset it right, 225 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:41,720 but the the like that that's what people reach for where the 226 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,280 Yankees act like the Yankees remember who you are. 227 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,920 Remember, you know, do what George used to do, which is 228 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,560 never going to happen be the Yankees. 229 00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:51,800 Remember you're the Yankees. Like that is a mantra that is a 230 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,520 common refrain that I must have heard a million times on WFAN 231 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,640 with Sal and even with Tiki before that, like I've just 232 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,560 heard that forever. Now, I do think it gets a little 233 00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:05,600 hijacked because then you hear people saying, well, the Yankees 234 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,960 are cheap, though they're not. They got top three, top four 235 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:08,960 payroll. Shut up. 236 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,800 You sound like an idiot when you see you sound misinformed. 237 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,320 You sound uninformed. You sound unnecessarily angry 238 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,720 like like let's create in a space where we can always keep 239 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,240 it real, which I always will, but also incorporate. 240 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,160 I don't know if this little thing that they call facts 241 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,920 somewhere along the way. The Yankees will be good this 242 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,320 year. The Yankees will make the 243 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,640 playoffs this year if Judge is healthy. 244 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,160 Knock on wood, Judge will win the MVP this year. 245 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,480 I think what it's all said and done, the Yankees will have the 246 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,760 best rotation in the American League, possibly in all the 247 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,000 baseball. And I do think the Yankees, if 248 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,320 for once they could get a little lucky and I don't know, maybe by 249 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,960 the trade deadline, find an actual lead off hitter, which 250 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,080 would change the the entire complexion of their team. 251 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,920 I think that the Yankees maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe could mess 252 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,560 around, get back to and maybe win a World Series for the first 253 00:11:58,560 --> 00:12:00,280 time in a gazillion years. Maybe. 254 00:12:00,560 --> 00:12:02,600 Like I'm not betting on that. I don't think that that's going 255 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,760 to happen. But to say that it's it's, it's, 256 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,400 it's completely without possibility now. 257 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,200 You just being unfair, right. And and when I heard that, like 258 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:14,840 I was actually in my office, right? 259 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,200 There was some stuff for the show today. 260 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,000 And I heard that and like, you know, most of it was fairly 261 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,160 benign at the star, like, hey, I was kind of sitting here. 262 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,480 But when I heard that line, you should have seen my face. 263 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,680 I wish it was on camera. I was like this. 264 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,800 I was like, what did he say? What? 265 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,200 All right, Cap, here you go. Now just imagine if that was 266 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,960 said a month ago. Now I also think that and I 267 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,160 really do believe this like and it's listen, it's happened to me 268 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,000 on occasion on the radio. Not often because I say what I 269 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,200 what I feel and you know, I say what I believe. 270 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,560 But there are times, you know, when you are going down the road 271 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,920 and your thoughts are getting a little convoluted on a very 272 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,520 important topic, maybe something not that I really throw politics 273 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,640 out there a lot. You guys know that. 274 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,760 But like I make make sure that you don't just sloppily finish 275 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,840 your sentence so that it could get misconstrued and hijacked. 276 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,280 Like you've got to finish the thought and make sure it's 277 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,720 coherent and people know where you stand, right? 278 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,680 And it, it's a very hard thing to explain. 279 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,520 And Aaron Judge is not a professional communicator. 280 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,160 He's a he's a professional baseball player. 281 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,920 But when you're a professional baseball player and when you're 282 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,560 Aaron Judge and you play for the Yankees, in essence, you become 283 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:30,680 a pseudo professional communicator, whether it's body 284 00:13:30,680 --> 00:13:34,440 language or of the verbal sense. And it's a real interesting art 285 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,640 how you thread the needle of thinking and speaking at the 286 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,160 same time. Like the one thing that that is 287 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,040 not even a challenge, but it it is what it is like it's become 288 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,840 already very natural. But the biggest difference for 289 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,800 me doing this show versus being on terrestrial, more 290 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,840 conventional radio is that number one, I've I've had a 291 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,920 partner most of most of my not not not all of it most of my 292 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,960 career. And there's this, this like 293 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:03,840 diversion, self reflective tactic that you use as a, as a, 294 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,600 not as a weapon, but it's a tool to construct thoughts. 295 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,000 Like you could just throw out a phone number and like, say, if 296 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,160 you don't have something to say, you throw out the number. 297 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,520 And as you're throwing out the number, you're also 298 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,720 simultaneously constructing your next thought. 299 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,080 So you're you learn very quickly. 300 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,320 And I don't know that I did that as effectively when I first 301 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,440 started. It becomes again, it becomes a 302 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,760 tool, a very useful prop, if you will, to just kind of keep the 303 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,120 train moving and continue that the conversation. 304 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:37,320 Now, I think that Aaron Judge yesterday in his mind very 305 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,520 quickly understood, especially that point about where the 306 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,840 Yankees let's act like it, you know, let what are we doing 307 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,920 here? I think that he knew right, Like 308 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,120 that was a point of inflection, like that was a that was a speed 309 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,200 bump in his mind where he's like where he's like, oof. 310 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,400 All right, let me quickly correct this because then and we 311 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,200 don't know, we don't need to throw it back up on the board 312 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,400 because we don't have this part that's not as important to me. 313 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,000 But when he says, yeah, we got Grinch, we got Belly, we got 314 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,400 this with the bullpen, we went, you know, we're ready. 315 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,560 I like what we had. Then he went into, I don't want 316 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,320 to say damage control because it wasn't very damaging what he 317 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,880 said. But, you know, I let me just if 318 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,560 there's a little flickering flame, let me just douse that 319 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,520 out with some water and end with some positivity. 320 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,440 And, you know, project to the entire baseball world and the 321 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,000 the baseball community that I think that we have what it takes 322 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,960 to win a championship. I don't think that they have 323 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,280 what it takes to win a championship. 324 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,520 And deep down, I don't think he does either. 325 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,920 I really don't. Now, I know it's different when 326 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,800 you play with somebody. Let me give you an example. 327 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,160 Like, I can sit here and until I'm blue in the face, which I've 328 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,280 always done. And going back to, you know 329 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,040 what, when the Yankees were debating on whether or not they 330 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,840 should extend the $22 million qualifying offer to Trent 331 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,280 Grisham, you know my take on that, I would not have done it. 332 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,920 Now, I don't actually think that the Yankees got fooled. 333 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,360 Some people think that they did, that they misread it or that 334 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,000 they offered it and they knew he wasn't going to take it. 335 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,400 And then they were, oh, wow, we took it. 336 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,000 Or what are we going to do? Like because if you really think 337 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,120 about now I got to be fair, if you think about the production 338 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,240 that he brought to the table a year ago, 34 bombs whatever 240 339 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,920 is 250 average less concerned with the average on base decent 340 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,480 OP has very good over 800 and I know that his defensive metrics 341 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,880 took a little bit of a step back. 342 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,880 I still think he's a pretty good center fielder. 343 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,360 If he hits thirty home runs and has an 8 O3 OPS for 22,000,000 344 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,440 bucks, that's a steal. That's a steal in modern 345 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,000 baseball in the year 2026. My problem is we're hits in the 346 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,880 order, so it's easy for me to say, well, that's not what I'm 347 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,560 looking for. Struggles against good lefties. 348 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,520 Do I really trust him against the lead pitching? 349 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,880 Do I want him at the the the battle before Aaron Judge in a 350 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,440 high leverage spot? No, I don't. 351 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,200 I I want somebody like Steven Quan. 352 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,960 I want somebody like Derek Jeter. 353 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,080 I'm not to put Quan and Jeter in the same sentence, but certainly 354 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,560 not equivocating the two. I want somebody like Chuck 355 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,320 Knobloch. I would even take somebody like 356 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,440 Wade Boggs. Who is it on base machine? 357 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,240 I mean, obviously vintage Boggs. I mean more so bogs with the 358 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,560 Yankees guys like that, yes, I want a more conventional lead 359 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,640 off hitter. I don't know the judge looks at 360 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,560 it that way cuz it's his teammate, it's his boy and his 361 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,760 boy hit 34 home runs and he did some good things on the field. 362 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,560 So I, I don't think that it's, it's apples to apples how we 363 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,599 view what the Yankees are and the players that they either 364 00:17:21,599 --> 00:17:24,480 retained or have brought in. I think it's a little different 365 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,400 in his mind cuz it's just a, a different synergy because when 366 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,800 you play with somebody and the guy in front of you hits 34 home 367 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,840 runs, I mean, it's tough to shit on him. 368 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,520 It, it just is. But we, what we do is because, 369 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,520 you know, he wasn't around in 2010 and 2011 and 2012 and 2013 370 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,920 and all those empty years without the championship. 371 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,280 What we do is we package up all of our energy and all of our 372 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,960 anger and all of our distaste for what Brian Cashman has done, 373 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,440 or maybe more specifically has not done the last X amount of 374 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,880 years. And we presented as now like is 375 00:17:56,880 --> 00:18:01,480 1 big ball of discontent and all those years before Aaron Judge 376 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,800 got there. It doesn't register on his 377 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,800 emotional meter because it doesn't affect him. 378 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,200 It just doesn't. So, but really interesting, 379 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,600 really interesting and absolutely on point, absolutely 380 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,320 inbounds. I wish you would have actually 381 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,680 gone even further and I wish you would have said it a month ago. 382 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,240 I wish you would have said it right after the season ended. 383 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,520 All right, you get bounced by Toronto. 384 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,000 Toronto clearly the superior team. 385 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,720 I'm let's not, let's not fool anybody here. 386 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,960 Toronto beat the crap out of him during the regular season and 387 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,960 they punk them in the playoffs. They absolutely smack the 388 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,960 Yankees, right. So to me, if anybody had a 389 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,920 license or the latitude to show frustration, and I mean 390 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,480 legitimate without parsing it, it's our boy number 99. 391 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,320 Because I think at that point, even though, you know, I, I 392 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,360 think I played the the corporate game well, I think I've always 393 00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:54,520 been a good employee. I show up, I work hard, I 394 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,440 produce, get ratings, get revenue, good soldier, no 395 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,320 problems. Like that's how I was raised. 396 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,560 But like there's a point where if something's awry and you've 397 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,520 earned the right to say, I'm not saying I'm married, judge, 398 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,920 that's ridiculous. But you know, when you earn the 399 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,560 right based on how you comport yourself over years and how you 400 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,920 produce, he would have been well within bounds. 401 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,920 And I wish he would have actually done that. 402 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,960 I really do. Because now, like what? 403 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,480 What does it really mean now? Don't mean much now because 404 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,840 there's nothing else to do, you know. 405 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,600 So that was Aaron Judge. That was Aaron. 406 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,320 I'll get to code in a little bit at Avery Summit BT this week. 407 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,280 Offseason mindsets been there since Jeter and company have 408 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,720 gone. Passing on Harper, Machado, 409 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,200 Seeger, etcetera became regularities, not outliers. 410 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,720 Killer mindsets gone. Hashtag be real. 411 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,080 Yeah, I I, I think that that's a very fair assessment and, and 412 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,560 assertions that are on point. Listen, here's what I say about 413 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:50,240 the Yankees. Right. 414 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,160 This is where, again gets hijacked. 415 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,880 Do I think the Yankees want to win? 416 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,800 Of course. I think that the Yankees want to 417 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,600 win. And if you don't think that the 418 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,280 Yankees want to win, you're an idiot. 419 00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:00,720 I got to know what else to tell you. 420 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,760 You're misreading the situation. You're off base and you're 421 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,640 unfair. The difference? 422 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,600 All right, let's cut them up this way. 423 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,200 Winning used to be the oxygen for the Yankees. 424 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,120 If they didn't win, they couldn't breathe. 425 00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:16,920 Well, they're not winning. They're still finding a way to 426 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,040 get some, you know, some, some oxygen pumping through those 427 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:21,800 lungs. That's the difference. 428 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,920 They want to win. They try to win. 429 00:20:25,120 --> 00:20:29,240 They are not fixated on winning. It's a massive difference. 430 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,520 That's that's true. Like that's a very fair scouting 431 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:35,680 report on the Yankees. I think a lot of the other stuff 432 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,320 is a little bit off base and I've said many times, but I just 433 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,680 think that the and by the way, I get it, like when fans are 434 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,840 frustrated, things are going to come out. 435 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,160 You know, they just watch what happens. 436 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,120 Watch what happens with the Knicks this year. 437 00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:54,680 Like if the Knicks don't win it and I don't like, let's say if 438 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,600 the Knicks get like if the Knicks got bumped in the first 439 00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,240 round, good God. I mean, it's going to be it's 440 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,960 going to be anarchy. If the and the Knicks play the 441 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,000 Pistons on Thursday at the Garden, you better show up for 442 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,280 that, Kate Nicks, Like you better have gotten the memo when 443 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,200 they kicked your face in last Friday by 38 points. 444 00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,840 All right, Brunson and Cat Love that they won whatever that 445 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,360 stupid competition was. Alvin Houston, good for them. 446 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:15,960 Get a couple of days off your feet. 447 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,600 Come back and show the Pistons and show us that you mean 448 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,360 business. But like, if the Knicks ever 449 00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:23,720 lost in the first round and even if they lose in the second 450 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,920 round, it is going to be off the chart emotion and that will be 451 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,680 fair. Like there are points where even 452 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,640 those who are in the trenches and the most convicted believers 453 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:39,400 in a player or management team or or a roster, like if they 454 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,400 lose in round two and and you still believe that they can win 455 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,840 with Cat, he could be the second best player on the championship 456 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,720 team, which, you know, clearly. I I don't think at all. 457 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,680 I'm hoping, but I don't think that one bit, Although I do 458 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,040 love, you know, Alvarado, the other pick up from the Spurs. 459 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,920 I like what they did there. I just don't think they're going 460 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:57,360 to win, right? But even if you're the most 461 00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,480 ardent cat supporter, watch what happens if they get bounced 462 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:02,800 early and he doesn't play well. Because if he doesn't play well, 463 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,880 they will get bounced early. So there'll be a direct 464 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,120 correlation there. So it's OK to react with Venom 465 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,880 and, you know, with transparency, like I think that 466 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,400 you should. I I do think that the Yankees 467 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,040 are a little different because the Knicks standard has never 468 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,680 been the Yankees standard. The Mets standard has never been 469 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,920 the Yankees standard. The Ranger or Islander Islanders 470 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,400 with the four straight back of the day, sure, but after that or 471 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,040 the devils standard has never been the Yankees standard. 472 00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:31,960 The Jets, certainly The Jets have never been the Yankees 473 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,040 standard. Like the one that's closest here 474 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,000 would be the Giants. You know, and when you have that 475 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,280 kind of a standard, you're going to react probably a little bit 476 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,840 early and a little bit more emotionally that if it's a 477 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,880 different team that you expect less from. 478 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,280 So this is all, you know, in a long roundabout way. 479 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,840 This is all about the model that the Yankees created themselves 480 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,360 by always winning and when they didn't win, doing whatever it 481 00:22:57,360 --> 00:22:59,240 took to try to ensure that they would win. 482 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,280 That's got away. We all know that they want to be 483 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,840 good and they are going to be good. 484 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,240 We, we, we're used to them and not even used to it because 485 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,960 that's it's been a while. We used to be used to them. 486 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,520 The expectation used to be championship or every time. 487 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,680 Now the Yankees get bounced from the playoffs here. 488 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:20,040 Does anybody seem agitated? Does Hal ever come out and say, 489 00:23:20,120 --> 00:23:22,440 all right, hey, here's the mandate if we don't get to the 490 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,800 World Series next year, Cashman's gone, managers gone, 491 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,440 this guy's gone. That's it. 492 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,960 I've spent 350 and I know he's talked about the money, but I've 493 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,520 spent 350. I believe this is a World Series 494 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,760 team, even though I don't. But if he said that it would be, 495 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,640 it would be cathartic because it will be a reminder what they 496 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,440 used to be. And the fact that Judge gave us 497 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,800 a little just a little sprinkle of of truth yesterday. 498 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,200 I appreciate it. On point. 499 00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:52,560 And he didn't even have to go back and parse it with a smile 500 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,640 and then prop up the Grisham's and all the other stuff that you 501 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:56,800 know. And certainly Bellinger I'm 502 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,720 happy is back. But he didn't even have to do 503 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,880 that well within his rights to do that even more aggressively. 504 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,480 It's just not his style at Armand is amazing. 505 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,080 Thoughts on Tony Clark resigning as the MLBPA executive director 506 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,440 whatever. I mean you know Tony Clark class 507 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,360 act good ball player played for the Yankees for a minute. 508 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,560 You know I listen he he's paid his job is to represent the 509 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,560 players. And when you are test with that 510 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,240 you're going to alienate some people because some people will 511 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,200 perceive it to be greedy. Whatever I I I don't care figure 512 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:31,960 it out. That's it. 513 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:35,120 Remember the the unkillable ran you know. 514 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,880 Hey you know you might Yeah. Yeah. 515 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,880 Maybe one of the best receivers in the game. 516 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,200 This was a couple of years ago. And Garrett, what are the best 517 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,920 corners in the game in sauce? What are the best running backs 518 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,400 in the game? In brief, figure it out. 519 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,280 Figure it out, man. Figure it out. 520 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,520 Sit down, hit. Well, now, not him. 521 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,200 Now figure out who's going to be in charge. 522 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,360 I don't even know who it is, right? 523 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,960 And whomever it is, figure it out, figure it out. 524 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,280 So I can't, I can't. I can't derail the Show with 525 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,960 MLBPA. Boring, you know, legal 526 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,440 discussion. Who the hell wants the I don't 527 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,440 even want to talk about that now there will be a time and a place 528 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,680 for that that today is not that time nor is it that place. 529 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,120 All right, so here's the other thing. 530 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,720 And then I'm going to tell you a couple of things about I've got 531 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,560 to check my message in a moment. Got some news on the next BT and 532 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:27,320 Sal live show. Got some news and I'll get to 533 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:28,840 the Cohen stuff, Breeze Hall as well. 534 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:35,520 So in 15 or 20 years, right, is anybody going to, I mean, if 535 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,280 there's even conventional sports radio at that point, who knows? 536 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:43,360 But the content that will be out there and the people dissecting 537 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:47,400 the sports world, do you really think in like 15 or 20 years 538 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,560 anybody's going to be really worked up over a Brian Cashman 539 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,600 Hall of Fame debate? Does anybody really think that 540 00:25:54,960 --> 00:26:00,200 Brian Cashman will generate such a visceral reaction comparing 541 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,120 him to other general managers that it's like it's going to be 542 00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:07,000 an entire show or an entire? The answer is no. 543 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,720 It's going to be a point of reference and that's it, right? 544 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,120 Same with Aaron Boone. I mean, as much we love Joe 545 00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:14,640 Torry with all those championships, we don't sit 546 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,200 around and, and, and debate Joe Torre's merits. 547 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,200 You know, is he better than Casey Stengel? 548 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:20,480 Is he better than Miller Huggins? 549 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,480 Is he better than Tommy Lasorda? You know, is he better than Tony 550 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,400 Larussa? We just don't do that. 551 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,720 Is he better than Sparky Anderson? 552 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,440 Big Red Machine? You don't do it because it's 553 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,440 it's number one, it's boring and it it's just, it's not really 554 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,240 interesting, which is also boring. 555 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,280 And it's very hard to definitively, you know, not that 556 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:42,120 you can't qualify wins and championships, but it's not the 557 00:26:42,120 --> 00:26:45,440 same as stats. Let me tell you who is going to 558 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,440 be in the middle of these conversations, and that's number 559 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,480 99, Aaron Judge. And Aaron Judge does what he can 560 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,560 do. And the one who's going to be 561 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:58,440 most adversely affected from a legacy point of view is Aaron 562 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,520 Judge. So Aaron Judge is well within 563 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,600 his right to go out there and say whatever the hell he wants 564 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,600 to say. There is nothing pertaining to 565 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,880 baseball, the construction of the Yankees, the direction of 566 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,200 the Yankees, anything about a teammate, nothing that Aaron 567 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:20,120 Judge can ever say that will force me or prompt me to get on 568 00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:22,080 Aaron Judge. Nothing. 569 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,000 So I wanted more, but it's a baby step, you know? 570 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,480 I mean, guys, Yankees, Yankees lose the World Series to the 571 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,280 Dodgers. Dodgers shit all over the 572 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,560 Yankees. Ah, they can't run. 573 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,640 They can't feel. We knew the scout report. 574 00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:42,240 Anybody really, you know, fire back like fuck you LA, you know 575 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,640 anybody say that anybody just come out and really be 576 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,160 demonstrative in their defense of the Yankees? 577 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,000 The answer is no. I know, I know the boom resisted 578 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000 a little bit. Any players really come out? 579 00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:55,280 I mean really come out, The answer is no. 580 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:00,600 So there's, it almost seems like, and I know that this isn't 581 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,720 the right word because I know that they want to win. 582 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,120 Trust me, I do, I do. But there's almost like there's 583 00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:11,880 this acceptance that will the Yankees bow out? 584 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:17,160 Like we're so tired of the ones always screaming. 585 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,520 You know, it's like if you're in a bad relationship and you're 586 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,520 the one, and I'm not saying the Yankees were a bad, it's not a 587 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,520 great comparison. But if you're in a bad 588 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,240 relationship and you try to change somebody or you're the 589 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,040 one who's putting the work in to change yourself and the other 590 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,840 person, boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, what whatever it is best 591 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:37,240 friend and and they're not doing anything about it or they're not 592 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,080 doing nearly as much as you are. Are you going to want to keep 593 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,160 having that conversation because it's going to be a regurgitation 594 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:45,760 of the same thing. And the Yankee energy has 595 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,480 largely been Jabra. I keep that up, but a 596 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:54,640 regurgitation of the same stuff over and over and over. 597 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,520 So I think that I really, quite frankly, I think I'm one of the 598 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,040 few has this the right, as has this position properly where, 599 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,920 you know, I understand the Yanks are good. 600 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,520 I'm appreciative of that. But I also know what they used 601 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,720 to be and my targets, Cashman, like I, I don't think there's 602 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,760 any, anything nebulous about where I stand, where I sit, 603 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,720 nothing to interpret. You know how I feel about the 604 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,120 Yankees. And I have gotten frustrated 605 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,360 talking about the same things over and over and over. 606 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:28,760 It's a waste of energy. Hey, things don't change until 607 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,840 they change. I know that that's a Courtney 608 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,920 mantra, but it's true. Oh, I'm going to do this and 609 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,880 I'm, you know, New Year's Day. That's it. 610 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,880 I'm going to get in shape. I'm going to go to the gym all 611 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,400 the time. I'm going to eat healthy. 612 00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,120 What are you doing on January 2nd? 613 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,960 You sucking down pizza? Did you did you join the gym? 614 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,920 Did you hit the cardio machine? Are you doing push ups? 615 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,360 Are you walking? Are you doing anything or is it 616 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,800 empty energy? It's empty energy. 617 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,160 Do something about it. You know, fired up today, J Rod. 618 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,920 God, I love talking baseball. All right, it's Matt. 619 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:02,960 Matt, Joe Kotner. Joe. 620 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:03,680 Matt. Matt. 621 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:04,440 Joe. What up, Matt? 622 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:10,400 Fans get fried by. Yeah, By I think that it's what. 623 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,080 All right, Fans get fried by media these days for reacting 624 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,440 with venom when the Yankees get bounced. 1 broadcaster says he's 625 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,680 sick of Yankee fans complaining. I I I think you're talking about 626 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,120 Michael, my buddy Michael Ki. Don't know. 627 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,440 I, I, I I don't think Paul O'Neill says that. 628 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,160 I don't think David Cone says that. 629 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,640 I don't think Dave Sims or Susan Waltman said that. 630 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,640 I mean, maybe they have. You're probably talking about 631 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:35,880 Michael. I'm going to get Michael on the 632 00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,640 show. He's already committed. 633 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,560 Can't wait. Good friends with Michael. 634 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:40,960 Love him. Got a lot of respect for 635 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:42,240 Michael. Doesn't mean I agree with 636 00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,160 everything he says. So if, if I'm sure you're 637 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,640 attributing that to Michael, and if that's the case, I'll bring 638 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,960 it up on the show. Michael's very vocal. 639 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,840 You know, Michael, Michael is not one of these. 640 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:57,720 I'll tell you what. Like you think I remember going 641 00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:02,120 through this, I'll tell you a little story here, all right? 642 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,600 And that's a BT and Sal live. Cohen, Bree. 643 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,440 So we got a big show. Keep those comments coming in. 644 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,760 I remember I do forget the year Bobby Gonzalez was coaching 645 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,200 Seton Hall, right? And maybe maybe it was 2006 646 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,080 because I referenced this the other day when the when Saint 647 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,880 John snapped A-25 game road losing streak. 648 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,760 This had to be intertwined during that miserable era. 649 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,440 And I'm doing all the games at that point. 650 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,280 I'm travelling everywhere. I'm doing every game with 651 00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,160 Crispino and Tariq Turner, right? 652 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,920 And I think it was the first conference game of the year, I'm 653 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,600 pretty sure. And another stat embedded within 654 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,680 that 25 game Rd. losing streak was St. 655 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:43,240 John's had lost X amount of Big East Road games. 656 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,120 I mean, it was all it was awful. And they're winning by like, I 657 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,920 forget the exact specifics. Seven or eight points, couple of 658 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,960 minutes to go. I'll never forget this. 659 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,920 I used to have Bobby Gonzalez on my show a lot. 660 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,440 So back in the day when I was on 1050 and the Big East tournament 661 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:02,040 was right downstairs, the old, the old station, the old studio, 662 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,720 pardon me, was it 2 Penn Plaza? And then I would just go down 663 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,680 and I would do the St. John's games and obviously watch 664 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,960 all Syracuse, UConn, all the all the good games after St. 665 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,320 John's DePaul or after St. John's, whomever, right? 666 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:22,360 So anyway, I, I remember the, I want to try the, the year right 667 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,920 though. OK, yeah, I'm going to say, I'm 668 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,920 going to say 6. And I would always have the 669 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,680 coaches on, you know, like Gonzalez would come on when 670 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,600 Louis Orr was at Seton Hall, he would come on. 671 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,400 Obviously Norm or any St. John's coach would come on. 672 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,080 Behime would come on, had Jay write a few times. 673 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:42,840 So I remember having Bobby on the show and he was a fiery 674 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:43,720 dude. Bobby Gonzalez. 675 00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:45,280 Wow. And St. 676 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,800 John's was up like 7 or 8 points and they flushed to lead that 677 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,480 and I just like, I lost it like I basically went into, this is 678 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:52,760 during the St. John's game. 679 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:57,000 I went into talk show mode like this program's a disaster. 680 00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,320 I I crushed them. Like I really went hard. 681 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,760 Honestly, looking back out of bounds, you know, you're doing a 682 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,040 game. Yeah, it's probably, it's one 683 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,640 thing to be honest, if you're losing by 20. 684 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,720 I laid it on. I just couldn't take it anymore. 685 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:14,240 It was lost, lost, lost. And I love the program and I, I 686 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,720 personalized it, right? And I was younger, little, maybe 687 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,200 a little less refined. And it came out with two things 688 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,520 from that. And it ties into Michael and how 689 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:26,160 he handles his job, right. I remember after the set, Hall 690 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,560 comes back and wins and I'm just, I have all sorts of 691 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,400 distraught and pissed and I'm just letting it go. 692 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,520 And Bobby Gonzalez wraps up his, I think it was with Gary Cohen, 693 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,880 wraps up his TV interview with with whomever and then maybe 694 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,760 ESPN and then does the radio interview with, with Gary. 695 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,760 And as he's walking, man, I know him a little bit because I've 696 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,440 had him on the show as he's walking by to get to the locker 697 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,320 room. He was, I fucking told you we'd 698 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,520 win. Like he just went. 699 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,200 Now I'm on the air talking like he wasn't really mad at me. 700 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,200 He was very fired up. And I just, I remember just 701 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,000 going like this. I know you won because I was, I 702 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000 was at the middle of my own emotions there just pissed, 703 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,040 right. So I say that because when you 704 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:11,760 are part of a broadcast team for an and you do a talk show now on 705 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,320 even now with St. John's being amazing, with 706 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,760 Pitino making money, relevance, national relevance, it has been 707 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,960 as joyous a ride. And I mean, I'm very 708 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,600 appreciative. I'm having a blast, dude. 709 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,880 I have an absolute blast. But St. 710 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,960 John's profile, even with Rick compared to the Yankees is night 711 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,639 and day. So, you know, if I was to say 712 00:34:31,639 --> 00:34:35,960 something on a St. John's game that it it would be 713 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,080 received differently than if Michael crushes the Yankees, you 714 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:43,880 know, but I think Michael does a pretty good job of of straddling 715 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,639 the line of being pretty transparent and and pretty real. 716 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,679 I really believe that now I know he's got a relationship with Hal 717 00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,000 and the Steinbrenner family. You're not going to bite the 718 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,400 hand that feed you be an idiot. I mean to just take a Wrecking 719 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:00,200 Ball to the Yankees again, you've got to straddle that line 720 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,120 and it's not easy. So I think I don't agree with 721 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:04,600 everything he says. Again, I want to be clear about 722 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,440 that, but I think that Michael really does do an an Admiral 723 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,960 job, an admirable job of of being real and and be the talk 724 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,720 show host and juggling these topics with with the with the of 725 00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:19,040 venom that you guys, you know, I don't I don't hear a show that 726 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,240 much, but I've heard it over the years many times. 727 00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:23,480 I see the articles written about, you know, you know, 728 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,480 Michael with the Mets fans or Bill Michael or something with 729 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,960 the Yankees. I know that you think it's easy 730 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,800 and I know he's incredibly well compensated as he should be, but 731 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,600 it's not as easy as you think. So if you talking about Kay, I 732 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,320 respect it. That's your opinion and I'll 733 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,080 look for some some specific stuff as I get ready to bring 734 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,440 Michael on the show. All right now let me tell you, 735 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:45,920 let me see if I got this one text. 736 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,280 I've got to make sure that that I can do this year. 737 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,200 All right, hold on. That's that's actually from Sal. 738 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:57,520 Did he get back to me? OK, so April 10th, I do not have 739 00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,400 the venue. I do, but he hasn't written that 740 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,000 back yet, so I know it, but I don't want to put it out there. 741 00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:06,080 April 10th, Long Island next, BT and Sal Live show, Bang, put it 742 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,280 in the calendars. BT and Sal Live. 743 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,480 I believe it's about a four or A500 seat venue, which is 744 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,200 basically exactly what we did at the the Vogel Theatre in Red 745 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:18,600 Bank, NJ. So what we're going to try to do 746 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,080 is obviously get together every couple of months for something 747 00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,720 formal like that. I'm going to jump on Sal's 748 00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:27,240 YouTube show tomorrow night. I'll get it back on mine maybe 749 00:36:27,240 --> 00:36:29,560 in a week or so. And really pick and choose 750 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,040 where, you know, you get the BT and Sal dynamic here with this 751 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:36,400 kind of content, but also on a stage with, you know, just a, a, 752 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,160 a, a bigger, more grand presentation. 753 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,680 If you, I mean, we're still going to be bigger, going to be 754 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,880 up there with tuxedos. You still going to get BT and 755 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:44,000 Sal. It's going to be as raw as you 756 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,640 can get. It's, it's basically, we can say 757 00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,920 whatever we want. F bombs are flying. 758 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,640 I, I had a drink in my hand and the entire time we were up on 759 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:52,720 stage with, with, with Sal and Boonie. 760 00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:56,160 So that is coming April 10, Long Island. 761 00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,320 And then from there I'm going to have to find something in 762 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,600 Brooklyn. For me, Long Island makes a lot 763 00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,440 of sense. Start of the baseball season and 764 00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,720 put that in the calendar April 10 BT Sal 2O live show Audis 765 00:37:08,720 --> 00:37:12,840 what if I I'll probably get the text of the venue today and just 766 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,040 look at at least another hour show so to go here on the show 767 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,480 I'm pumped J rod you better come to this man get you up on stage 768 00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,880 what about a we're. There, we're there we could do, 769 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,600 we could honestly like think of something fun like a little 770 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,440 game. We could do some kind of 771 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:29,200 contest, something like that. I'm excited, excited to meet the 772 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:34,480 fans, excited to be like a public facing figure on a stage. 773 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,160 So yeah, it'll be great. Love it. 774 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,480 No, we listen, you don't just when you do something like this, 775 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,320 you got to plan it out. It's not like, oh, even though, 776 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,560 even though we probably could because we have that kind of 777 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,000 chemistry, but it's not like all right, man, let's just go on 778 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,840 stage for an hour and a half and fuck around. 779 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,640 Then hopefully something sticks like we do map it out. 780 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,360 We do have it structured much like we would have our radio 781 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,200 show structure. Then it just deviate and bounce 782 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,840 around whatever we want. You've got at least have the 783 00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,880 skeleton, as I would call it, like a a general map of where 784 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,080 you want the show to go. But how about this? 785 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:05,720 Now you, you can think about it. How about you, you want to get 786 00:38:05,720 --> 00:38:07,520 on stage, do a low performance? I mean, I know. 787 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,240 You that would be so fun. You want to do it? 788 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,040 Yeah, I feel that would be great. 789 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,840 I feel like if we we started off we did like the unleashed intro 790 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,840 kind of deal. I think that'd be fun and like, 791 00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:22,360 I can see I can try to get some people to like, play music with 792 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,080 me, but we'll figure it out. I mean that. 793 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,320 That Remember though, it's not but, but it's not just an 794 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,920 unleashed thing. It's BT and Sal. 795 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:29,800 Now. Exactly. 796 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,720 So maybe, maybe you come up with something for BT and Sal, throw 797 00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:36,040 something, start spitting a little BT and sound rhymes out. 798 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,680 That'd be tight. You know what I mean? 799 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:40,160 I'm giving you a lot of work. First you got first. 800 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:41,440 You got to finish the Unleashed song. 801 00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,320 Then we got the BT, we got we we're going to have an album by 802 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,320 the end of the year. I love the old, the old album 803 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:49,360 covers. That's the thing. 804 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,440 Like, you know, I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, today's 805 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,800 music is horrible. I mean, I like my older music, 806 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,520 whether it's 90s rap, whether it's, you know, Billy Joel, Hard 807 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,880 Rock, classic rock, you know, my, my, it's pretty eclectic. 808 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:01,960 I mean, even Taylor Swift, some songs, my daughter. 809 00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,880 I mean, it's, it's pretty varied, but I think most people 810 00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,560 kind of gravitate to music when they were a little bit younger. 811 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:11,080 But most people, most people. So you're too young when you 812 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,720 only bought CDs you never bought? 813 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:17,560 Albums, I didn't even buy CDs. I'm from the streaming era. 814 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,760 I mean, my childhood was iPod on, you know, like I think the 815 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,320 iPod probably got invented when I was four or five years old, 816 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,800 four or five years old. So that's been my entire life, 817 00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,680 has been music literally at your fingertips. 818 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,560 You guys growing up downloading whatever he's downloading, 819 00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,640 right. And I'm growing up and I'm I'm 820 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,920 tying little pieces of thread around Luke Skywalker's ankle 821 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,720 and hanging him from my fan and having Hans soldiers going to 822 00:39:44,720 --> 00:39:47,640 scoop him up with the Millennium Falcon, you know, with Jabba the 823 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:49,800 Hutt and all the other TIE fighters coming after him. 824 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,040 Wow. All right, so that's coming up. 825 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:53,480 I just got text here. Oh, that's coming up. 826 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,880 I cannot wait. We've been plot this out for a 827 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,160 little bit. I mean, listen, understanding 828 00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,560 you and I can do one every three weeks. 829 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,000 It's a production. The venues aren't cheap. 830 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,600 We've got to secure them, which we have done. 831 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,440 Let me see here. Oh, here we go. 832 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,160 Here we go. The Krosnoff Theater. 833 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,600 It's at the Tile Center. Li use campus out east there. 834 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,040 There it is. Am I saying that right? 835 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,320 The the Krasnoff Theatre, it's definitely on the campus of Liu. 836 00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,960 It's got about 500 seats and we've got the date. 837 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,440 Boom, April 10th it is. And the way my guy Touch, who is 838 00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,400 by far the best in the business. He runs all the jet trips that 839 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,280 I've gone on over the years. He runs Big Blue Travel. 840 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,720 He is a Sinatra impersonator and he performs, by the way, he 841 00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:37,360 comes out there with his tuxedo. That's how we open BT and Sal 842 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,520 Live. He starts banging out Sinatra 843 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,320 tunes to get the crowd going. And then me and Sal Linter, we 844 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,640 hit the stage and it's, you know, it's just it's anarchy 845 00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,840 from there. But you'll get a little bit of 846 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,440 that. And he is the master when I 847 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:54,160 would venture to guarantee that possibly by the end of the show, 848 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,280 but definitely by the end of the day. 849 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,840 I will have a website for you with direct links for tickets. 850 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,080 You will absolutely be able to start buying them today and 851 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,120 start sucking them up.

That's going to be a lot of fun, 854 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,680 you know, especially so let's see here. 855 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,960 Yeah, I know the Yankees start in San Francisco, so you talk a 856 00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,440 late March. Boy, wouldn't it be glorious? 857 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,280 Now, I don't really expect this because I don't love the Yankees 858 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:22,800 starting pitching to start the season. 859 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:28,880 But man, just hey, if if the if the content gods are are shining 860 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:33,720 on me that day, the Mets will be 3 and seven, you know, and and 861 00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:37,040 and and the Yankees will be like 9:00 and 1:00 because the last 862 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,360 time we did the show, what do you think Sal did? 863 00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,320 Comes out with the King Cohen garb, the robe, the scepter, the 864 00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,080 music. So that's going to be an 865 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:46,760 absolute blast. We'll have some wild stuff 866 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:49,120 planned for you. Cannot wait. 867 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,640 Really excited about that.

I don't know if it's plural. 872 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,880 I think it's bada booms. I think it's. 873 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,560 Booms. I think it's booms. 874 00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,160 So it is plural. OK, so it's not bada boom, but 875 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,480 it's definitely not bada Bing. I mean, where we maybe we can 876 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,280 have it at the Bing. That would be freaking awesome 877 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,760 get.

Hit him with with a chain in 882 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,240 that. In that episode he hits like a 883 00:42:30,240 --> 00:42:32,160 bouncer with a chain or something. 884 00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:35,640 Like, because of the ice, right? That was the yeah, whatever that 885 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,240 stooge his name was. I forget his name. 886 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,160 J Rod versus Bada Bing cage match. 887 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,480 No holds. But we're not looking to make 888 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,600 this into a fight. I mean, what are you talking 889 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:44,840 about? A cage match? 890 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:49,440 No, I want, I want my Guy J Rod and I want Bada Booms. 891 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,120 I want these guys to unite at some point. 892 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,640 I've said that the Yeah, the object here, I mean, the main 893 00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,560 mission is to have this explode. But you know, secondarily, as a 894 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,200 subset of the unleashed family growing and growing and growing 895 00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:06,440 and just taking over the world is that I want J Rod and and 896 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,640 Bada booms to be able to do their own thing. 897 00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,200 And then for them to become stars on YouTube. 898 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,520 That's what I want. Appreciate it. 899 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,120 I mean, listen, we got to get to work. 900 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,720 We got to start, you know, building out that social 901 00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:21,120 presence. But yeah, you know, I think, you 902 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,080 know, I I personally, him and I have kind of gone back and forth 903 00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:27,440 on messages, kind of just nice niceties, just being like, hey, 904 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,320 loving what you're doing. There you go kind of that kind 905 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,920 of stuff. You know, excited to keep 906 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,520 building this kind of unleashed universe. 907 00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:37,920 Seeing seeing what other characters come up. 908 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:39,640 Yes. And a question for you. 909 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:43,640 Who reached out to whom first? Did you reached out booty? 910 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,280 He did. So so he reached out me. 911 00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,520 So I guess it started off. We both kind of followed each 912 00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:51,480 other on Twitter at a similar time. 913 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,360 Who followed? Who followed whom first? 914 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,600 He followed me first a lot. Of boom tonight, he's proactive. 915 00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,640 I gotta like that big time. How come you're not following 916 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:03,000 people first? Hey I'm a little slow and hit as 917 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,800 when his popped up hit him with the follow. 918 00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:06,920 There we go. Yeah. 919 00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,600 He liked the tweet I had about Brian Scalabrini. 920 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,680 So that's so that's how I saw him. 921 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,040 And then Instagram after our show with Sal, he was just like, 922 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,720 hey, loving what you guys are doing. 923 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,120 Keep up the great work. And you know, I hit him with the 924 00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,320 same thing back. So he seems like a good guy, 925 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,160 although sometimes he seems like a good dude. 926 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:25,560 Sometimes I worry about his health. 927 00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,400 I mean, early on, I even when we, when we had Sal on 928 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,160 unleashed, I'm like, you can't help yourself, dude. 929 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,160 You got to go after your you always got to get those jabs in, 930 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,440 you know, but it seems like bada booms has a tough exterior, so 931 00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:37,920 we will find out. Hold on. 932 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,560 I am. I know it's not the best way to 933 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,880 do this year, but Yep. All right, let me work on this 934 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,520 today. By the end of the day, I'll have 935 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,400 it all figured out. I have to see what the Bah, Bah, 936 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,120 Bah, Bah. All right, So yeah, very 937 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,200 confident tickets will be. I might have to amend that 938 00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:54,640 slightly because I left a few things out there that you don't 939 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,520 need to know logistically. I guarantee tickets will be on 940 00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,080 sale today. I'm going to push that to 941 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,600 tomorrow. I'm going to amend that 942 00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,200 slightly. But we got the venue, we got 943 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,080 today. All right, Stevie Cohen, keep 944 00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:08,160 those judge comments coming in there, right? 945 00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,480 Steve Cohen. So there were a couple of things 946 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:16,840 that Steve Cohen said. One really confused me and what 947 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:20,400 I'm just not sure if I believe this is not a crush Steve Cohen 948 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,120 segment. I like Steve Cohen. 949 00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:24,480 And now, I mean, eventually Steve Cohen's going to have to 950 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,680 win a championship for him to really be as regal as some 951 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:32,000 people think that he is. But I mean, let's face it, 952 00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,720 compared to previous Mets ownership, I mean, this guy's a 953 00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:36,480 rock star. I mean, at least you at least 954 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,400 you know that you're rooting for the Mets and not the Brooklyn 955 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,080 Dodgers anymore, You know what I mean? 956 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,480 Or, or, you know, $0.50 on the Dollar baseball team. 957 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,120 He has elevated the profile. He's done a lot of cool things, 958 00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,480 retired numbers. He's re restored the pride. 959 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,680 He's a Mets fan. I've got a lot of good. 960 00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:54,960 I don't really have anything bad to say about Steve Cohen really. 961 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:58,680 I think I think he's a good owner who's got a chance to be 962 00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,400 great. He's shown pivot points. 963 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,760 It's like when he bought a minor league system couple of years 964 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,000 back when he got rid of the the veteran pitchers. 965 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,640 All right, hey, you can have them, but I need some prospects. 966 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:09,800 You know, I'll eat the money. I'll eat some of it. 967 00:46:10,040 --> 00:46:12,960 I need our prospects stink. Our minor league system is 968 00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,120 awful. It's barren. 969 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,320 It's devoid of any real desirable talent. 970 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,400 That's got to change. Bang, that changed. 971 00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,120 Mets now have one of the top two or three, depending upon the 972 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:23,880 outlet. You know, there's varying ones, 973 00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:27,160 whatever, kind of like the college polls, maybe a slot 974 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:28,320 here. Up, slot down. 975 00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,400 Mets have a very good system that will well, number one, that 976 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,320 enabled them to get Peralta, which was great. 977 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,960 That will put them at the front of the table with school ball 978 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,960 when he's dealt, not if when he's dealt. 979 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,160 So I think he's doing a lot. Stadium looks great. 980 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,080 You know, again, change the the the entrance there is very 981 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,240 Brooklyn Dodgers oriented. You can't have it, dude. 982 00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:49,600 You're not the Brooklyn Dodgers, you're the Mets. 983 00:46:49,720 --> 00:46:53,920 You know, So I like what he's doing here, but let me first get 984 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,760 the point up about the about not the captain stuff. 985 00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,240 J Rod, the other one about the playoffs. 986 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:05,400 This just confused me and I'm I'm, but I like the first part 987 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:06,480 of it. Yeah, that's the mandate. 988 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,080 Got to make the playoffs, right? Sure. 989 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,880 I mean, I missed the playoffs the last two years. 990 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,560 Steve Cohen, Keep it up there. Dude, where were you in 2024? 991 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,040 Dang, you were step away for the World Series. 992 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,400 So again, I'm not going to crush him on that, but he had him. 993 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,760 He had to misspeak. He had to got to make the 994 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,360 playoffs, right? Yeah, you're damn right with 995 00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,640 this payroll, that is your right to say that. 996 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,200 That is your right to expect that. 997 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,560 And if the Mets don't get over to a good start with this new 998 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:38,320 roster and this reconfiguration, I've said it before, is one of 999 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,160 my 10 burning questions going into the New York baseball 1000 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,560 season. Hey, if they don't, if they 1001 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,640 don't, if it doesn't look right, I'm getting rid of Mendy because 1002 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,280 year 1 was really good. Year 2 was awful. 1003 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,600 Now we're going to kind of start splitting that difference here. 1004 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:54,360 And and I do think the Mets will be good this year, not great, 1005 00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:56,040 but good. I do think the Mets will be a 1006 00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,920 playoff team this year. And and I do think that the Mets 1007 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,040 upside, especially, you know, if they were to get a scoop or 1008 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,680 something like that, I mean, then maybe you can mess around 1009 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,600 to win something here. But I don't know how you say 1010 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,200 that. Like, put that up again, Jay 1011 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,400 Rod. It's so simple. 1012 00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:14,560 And he's a very coherent, very intelligent man, not to mention 1013 00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,360 successful. Got to make the playoffs, right? 1014 00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:18,640 Yep, that part's right. I mean, I missed the playoffs 1015 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,520 the last two years. No, you didn't, dude. 1016 00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,120 You see, you played great against the Phillies. 1017 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,480 Vientos was a stud. The place was rocking. 1018 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:29,880 What what are you talking about? Sorry. 1019 00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:34,200 So that thing again, I I can't really go anywhere else than 1020 00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,600 than what I just said. Like I'm not going to call him 1021 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,760 stupid. I'm not going to say the guy 1022 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,400 probably misspoke. That's a weird thing to misspeak 1023 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:42,920 about. You know, it's not like it was 1024 00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,000 seven years ago, like if there was a seven-year drought because 1025 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:47,960 you can get off their J Rod boy, that looks good. 1026 00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,760 Look at how fresh that looks, looks better than the light 1027 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:55,680 that's reflected here. You know, if he was like, if 1028 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,560 he's, you know, say, if he said, you know, if there was a 1029 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,320 seven-year drought and and he said eight or six, like if he 1030 00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,360 was all that's a little more understandable. 1031 00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,560 When you get past half a decade, you just you were just there. 1032 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,600 But we're going to move on this part. 1033 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:15,200 I'm not so sure if I'm willing to move on from because I don't 1034 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,400 know if I believe him. Let's slap it up there, Mr. J 1035 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:21,720 Rod, let's see it. That was good timing that a boy. 1036 00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,040 As long as I'm owning the team, there will never be a team 1037 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:27,320 captain. That was my decision. 1038 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,200 My view is the locker room's unique and let the locker room 1039 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,320 sorted out year in and year out. Keep that up there for a minute. 1040 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,960 As long as I'm owning the team, there will never be a team 1041 00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,680 captain. Well, first of all, I wouldn't 1042 00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,800 even say this about Cohen. I would say this about any owner 1043 00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,960 that comes out and states this like, why be so definitive? 1044 00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,640 Like what if I'm I'm just throwing this out there. 1045 00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,800 What if Carson binge is the real deal and you know, has this 1046 00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,680 David Wright trajectory in terms of providing no different 1047 00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,440 position, obviously, but like that kind of an impact, like 1048 00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:06,480 that statistical trajectory, that leadership steadiness 1049 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:10,640 trajectory resonates that way with the fans trajectory. 1050 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,040 I don't I don't know why you would like cap this out. 1051 00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,560 It's I don't I don't get that. There's never going to be a team 1052 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:16,320 captain. Why not? 1053 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,640 So that that's the first thing that again, I'm not I'm not 1054 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:20,920 really understand. It's his team. 1055 00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,760 I mean, do whatever you want. And he can also amend that. 1056 00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,720 Like I amended the timeline for the second BT and Sal live show. 1057 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:28,840 He can always come back in the air and say, you know what? 1058 00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:31,520 Or three years if it's Benji or somebody else, like, hey, you 1059 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,280 know what? I I didn't really think that 1060 00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:34,800 this was something I wanted to do. 1061 00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,320 But so and so has exemplified everything we're about blah, 1062 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:39,400 blah, blah. You can take it down. 1063 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,840 J Roth. Thank buddy, like, and then he 1064 00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,080 can, he can, he can pivot from that because it's his team, but 1065 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:45,440 it's certainly well within his right. 1066 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,760 So again, not going to go nuts there. 1067 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,840 I just don't know why you need to be so definitive and cap it 1068 00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:55,480 so hard #1 #2 which to me is really number one. 1069 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:59,520 And this I will question. I don't know if I believe him. 1070 00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,640 I don't know if I believe him. Not that he'll never name the 1071 00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:07,640 captain, but I believe like my and I could be wildly off base 1072 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,120 with this, so let me at least submit that as a real 1073 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,680 possibility. Like, OK, we're all going to 1074 00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,160 make, you know, oh, I think The Jets are going to win twenty. 1075 00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,360 Well, I think The Jets are going to lose 30 to 10. 1076 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:21,000 You know, the Giants are going to lose whatever, 30 to 17 1077 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:25,000 against the against the Eagles. Like, like that's a a prediction 1078 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,000 that you're going to get wrong half the time. 1079 00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,200 I'm not talking about that. And there's no need to apologize 1080 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:31,440 for that, right? I want to be fair here. 1081 00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,760 So this is a different interpretation. 1082 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:39,920 This is a different processing of what he's saying and this is 1083 00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:44,480 a different opinion that I am formulating based off of what he 1084 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:49,600 said. I believe that he wanted to make 1085 00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:54,120 Francisco Lindor the captain. I believe the longer Francisco 1086 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,840 Lindor has been with the Mets, the less convicted he is in his 1087 00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,080 leadership qualities. That's what I believe. 1088 00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,600 Now, I know that everybody's going to dump on that. 1089 00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,160 And met. Oh, Lindor. 1090 00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:08,240 Oh, she'd only hit right-handed. Say whatever you want. 1091 00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:12,760 I couldn't give two shits less. I'm talking about this. 1092 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:16,360 You got you got to look at this pragmatically, all right? 1093 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,760 The Mets LED a lot of good play. Granted, they were flawed in 1094 00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:24,240 certain aspects, for sure. Pete Alonso, good player, gone. 1095 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:29,520 Brandon Nimmo, good player gone. McNeil, I mean, purposeful 1096 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,800 player gone. Like there's nowhere else to 1097 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,200 turn. And then you look at and you I 1098 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:37,800 could only react to the stories here. 1099 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,000 And, you know, whether it was Tommy Pham a couple of years 1100 00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,160 ago, whether it was Mendoza the other day saying it's it's been 1101 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,400 a little bit too corporate. Maybe that's code for something 1102 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:47,640 else. He didn't want to, you know, 1103 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,640 smash his, his, his, the former dynamics of his team. 1104 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,600 So use the word corporate it it's less, it's less biting, 1105 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,360 it's less critical. All right, But if you're saying 1106 00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,400 it's too corporate, you're saying something's wrong. 1107 00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:05,280 All right, whether it's how Lindor and Soto kind of talked 1108 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,080 about each other the other day, complimentary for sure. 1109 00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,960 I'm not trying to start trouble or there's no trouble to be 1110 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,440 started. But I believe, I mean, everybody 1111 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:14,640 was. Now, it doesn't mean that they 1112 00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,240 have to do this, but everybody and their mother was saying 1113 00:53:17,240 --> 00:53:19,000 Lindor's going to be the captain, Lindor's going to be 1114 00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,160 the captain, Lindor's the captain, Lindor's the pseudo 1115 00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:22,000 captain. All right. 1116 00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,640 All right, fine. Well, if that's the case, why 1117 00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,800 did it reportedly anger Nimmo? And I think that's part of the 1118 00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,600 reason why Nimmo's gone now. He's also a bit of a diminished 1119 00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:31,680 player. I don't know. 1120 00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:33,760 I don't think Nimmo's as good as Met fans think. 1121 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,200 He's not on bases much, a little injury prone. 1122 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:37,320 I think that that's a smart move. 1123 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,800 Getting rid of him and what they turned it into was a good 1124 00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:42,160 baseball move for me by David Stearns. 1125 00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:45,880 But I just think there's a little something if you lift up 1126 00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,720 the hood of the Mets, and I don't mean like the windshield 1127 00:53:48,720 --> 00:53:50,200 wiper stuff that we could all do. 1128 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:54,520 I mean, I even, I do that right when you got to fill it up, but 1129 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,720 some intricacies within the engine that we aren't equipped 1130 00:53:58,720 --> 00:54:02,960 to really chronicle or fix, if you will. 1131 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:07,120 So it's just my theory. It's just my belief now based on 1132 00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,480 a lot of circumstances and a lot of noise that's been around the 1133 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:11,600 Mets. Let me get this straight. 1134 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,880 You know, everybody believes because me and Sal, we're 1135 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,440 talking about this and Sal brought up his credit first and 1136 00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:21,600 he was right. It got hijacked like a lot of 1137 00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,440 stuff does. But we're talking about like, 1138 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,120 you know, I forget the exact word he used. 1139 00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,760 I don't want to misrepresent him, but something was off or 1140 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,440 whatever it was. I think, I think the there was 1141 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,600 an element of toxicity. I think toxic was one of the 1142 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,160 words that was used. Either way, that was years ago 1143 00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:43,080 and nothing's improved. So you tell me common sense, 1144 00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,440 Let's apply a little bit of it. Let's just be rational. 1145 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,120 This is unemotional. This is me just looking at the 1146 00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:53,160 situation. The Mets had an unexpectedly 1147 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,440 horrendous year last year, and I know a lot of it was 1148 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:56,920 attributable to the pitching. I get that. 1149 00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:58,960 I'm not leaving this home on the door's doorstep. 1150 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,520 He's a really good player. But you know, there were a lot 1151 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,360 of meaningful pieces that were deleted. 1152 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,000 He's still here and he should be because he's better than all 1153 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,080 those guys, better than Pete, better than McNeil for sure, 1154 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,960 better than Demo for sure. No doubt he should still be 1155 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,080 here. But we're we're kind of running 1156 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:17,400 out of runway here. Like eventually you got to get 1157 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,960 this thing up in the air. And if if you're the captain, if 1158 00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:26,200 you're the leader that everybody professes you to be, then why 1159 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,320 are there always these problems? And I'm not even talking about 1160 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,400 the literal C on the jersey. Like you don't need a captain in 1161 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,280 baseball. This is not hockey where, you 1162 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:38,400 know, it's generation The, the, the C, the A on the sweater. 1163 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,360 Like that's, that's real stuff. And I couldn't stay. 1164 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:44,720 I thought it was corny when Keith Hernandez wore the C on 1165 00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:46,960 his jersey. I don't like that on a baseball 1166 00:55:46,960 --> 00:55:49,600 jersey. I don't care what jersey it is. 1167 00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,280 I don't care what player it is. If Aaron Judge came out and did 1168 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,160 that, I'd crush him. I just never liked it. 1169 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,480 It's unnecessary. Gary Carter was a captain LED 1170 00:55:57,480 --> 00:55:59,400 differently. Wasn't you know what what didn't 1171 00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:01,920 have to seen this sort of. But like I I don't think that 1172 00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:05,800 you need that outward visible acknowledgement that somebody is 1173 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,680 the captain. But there's just a lot here 1174 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,960 because I've never heard Steve Cohen talk about that like that 1175 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,600 before. I've never once heard Steve 1176 00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,680 Cohen shut down the noise because the captain talk has 1177 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,320 been percolating for years and Steve Cohen never once felt 1178 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,000 compelled to come out and say what we almost defiantly with 1179 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,600 such conviction. As long as I own the team, 1180 00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:29,960 there's never going to be a captain. 1181 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:35,320 And I can't help but the deuce that part of it is to alleviate 1182 00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:40,240 any possible resentment from Soto if you named Lindor the 1183 00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:43,160 captain or vice versa. Like, that's my read on the 1184 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:47,160 situation, that's my read, and I know a lot of people going to 1185 00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:48,880 think that's wildly off base. That's fine. 1186 00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,160 That's just my opinion. And that has been watching and 1187 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:57,400 weighing in on this situation on a day-to-day basis for years, 1188 00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,440 following the Mets and obviously the Yankees, as I do and as I 1189 00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:04,040 have and as I will continue to do here on Unleashed. 1190 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:07,800 So I'm not buying it. It's not crush worthy. 1191 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:09,760 I just think it's a little bit disingenuous. 1192 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:16,360 I find the timing odd. I find the the lack of wiggle 1193 00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:20,240 room odd. But again, that's what I think. 1194 00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,440 Let's see here. Yeah. 1195 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,720 I mean, whatever big bod zone George Steinbrenner's ghost is 1196 00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,120 working for the Dodgers. Fantastic. 1197 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,640 Well, Speaking of the Dodgers to this, this is the other thing. 1198 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:38,000 Now, this is more of a of a baseball thing here, but I'm 1199 00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:40,920 watching Cohen, right? And I like the line when he 1200 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,560 said, hey, I I could spend 2. I mean, that's, yeah, that's 1201 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,960 galvanizing. If you're a Mets fan, no doubt. 1202 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,880 You know, and you pivoted with Bechette, tried to get Tucker, 1203 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:54,080 you know, he's spending. Nobody's doubting that now until 1204 00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:55,600 you win. It's a little hollow. 1205 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,800 But that criticism is gone. That is dried up years ago for 1206 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,280 the Mets fan. Now it's about Stearns 1207 00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:06,120 delivering what he was brought here to deliver, and that's a 1208 00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:07,400 championship. And we'll see. 1209 00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,080 You know, we're not going to flush through it today. 1210 00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:10,760 Who knows? Last year, not good. 1211 00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:12,760 Year before was good. We'll see. 1212 00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,520 But Steve Cohen sitting there in the dugout yesterday down to 1213 00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:20,920 Port Saint Lucie talking about the Mets and and the Dodgers, 1214 00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,000 like the Dodgers or a thorn in his side. 1215 00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,360 Hey, Steve, I got news for you. You had nine teams in baseball 1216 00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:27,880 who had a better record than you, man. 1217 00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:31,120 I mean, you're sitting there like you lost in Game 7 to the 1218 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,080 Dodgers and the Mets won 99 regular season games. 1219 00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,240 It's a little delusional, man. You won 83 games. 1220 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,240 You just dismantled the entire team. 1221 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,640 Don't worry about the Dodgers. Worry about the Phillies, who 1222 00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,800 won 13 more games than you did. Well, they have 96 wins. 1223 00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:47,720 I just thought it was a little presumptuous. 1224 00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:50,840 Dodgers, Dodgers. And I, I like, I get it big 1225 00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:55,280 picture, like the discussion point with the Dodgers 1226 00:58:55,280 --> 00:58:58,040 pertaining to Major League Baseball and how they operate, 1227 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,040 what they do and how they are just so motivated to win. 1228 00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,200 And they take the revenue that they make and they reinvest it 1229 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,120 and they go on. They they've got the Japanese 1230 00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,120 market covered. You got Otani, you got bets, you 1231 00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:11,880 got Freeman, you got all these guys who brought it as pitchers. 1232 00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,960 You got you got a sick, sick lineup. back-to-back 1233 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,200 championships, dynasty. I understand that. 1234 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,960 How about you worry about winning the division? 1235 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,800 Can you start with that? Because even, I mean, even when 1236 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:28,720 they had and it was a really good run and it was fun and it 1237 00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:31,040 was unexpected. But even when they beat the 1238 00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:34,960 Phillies and lost to the Dodgers in 2024 in the NLCS, you won 89 1239 00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:36,800 games. I mean, you're sitting here 1240 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,640 like, you know, you're on top of the mountain and you're just 1241 00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:42,000 trying to crack through and you just can't quite figure out the 1242 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,080 Dodgers. The Dodgers scored. 1243 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,960 The Dodgers scored, what, 10 runs almost every game. 1244 00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:52,600 It seemed like J Rod, do me a favor just and this, yeah, do me 1245 00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,600 a favor, go to the 2024 NLCS, right? 1246 00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,080 And just read me the scores. Almost everyone except like the 1247 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,160 aggregate score, I could be off. It was like 30 to 7. 1248 01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,920 I maybe it's not exactly that, but I mean, it was like the 1249 01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,200 varsity versus the JV. And that's that's, I mean, 1250 01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,520 that's OK because the Yankees look like AJV in the World 1251 01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,840 Series against the Dodgers. The Dodgers do that to people. 1252 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,080 What were the scores? Go game one. 1253 01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:16,720 Go ahead. Yeah, let's see. 1254 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:22,400 It was 9 Nothing. Game one Dodgers, 7 three. 1255 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:28,440 Game 2, Mets. 16 OK Yep Yep. 772 game. 38 Nothing 8. 1256 01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:29,360 Nothing. Dodgers. 1257 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:31,280 Yep. Game 410. 1258 01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:33,040 Two Dodgers. I mean, come on, man. 1259 01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:39,160 Game 512 six Mets and then Game 610 five Dodgers. 1260 01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:41,160 Yeah, I mean, the Mets start to get their hitting shoes on a 1261 01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,600 little bit there, but and the Dodgers clearly better. 1262 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,920 It's not a knock at that. The Mets didn't didn't beat the 1263 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,840 Dodgers in the NLCS in 2024. It's just a very interesting 1264 01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:52,400 perspective to take. Now, by the way, I would also 1265 01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,960 worry about the Braves who were banged up beyond comprehension a 1266 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,680 year ago, how hurt they were, how many players there like the 1267 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,080 core of their team miss basically the entire season. 1268 01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:05,800 Austin Riley missed a couple of months of Cunha played 80 1269 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,160 something games. Everybody was hurt, everybody. 1270 01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,120 So I do think that the Mets have a real, this is not the shit on 1271 01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:12,920 the Mets. I think the Mets have a chance. 1272 01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:14,800 I actually think the Mets will be a playoff team. 1273 01:01:14,920 --> 01:01:15,880 I think they'll be a wild card team. 1274 01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:17,280 I don't think they're going to win the division. 1275 01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:19,800 Now, if they were to get school ball changes everything. 1276 01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,160 And if they were to get school ball with school ball and 1277 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:28,120 Peralta and McClain 123, I mean, now you're talking about a team 1278 01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:31,480 as long as the offense is just, you know, fairly productive and 1279 01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,920 the defense is better, like they envision it, it will be. 1280 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:35,760 And and I agree with that based on the up. 1281 01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,560 I'm not worried about Polanco at first or I'm not even really 1282 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:39,920 that worried about Beau Bruschet at third base. 1283 01:01:39,920 --> 01:01:42,960 You got four shots shortstops, you got 4 shortstops in the 1284 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:44,640 infield. You get to catch the baseball. 1285 01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:46,600 You know, Louise Roberts going to be a hell of a center 1286 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:48,240 fielder. I think bench is going to be a 1287 01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:49,720 really good defensive right fielder. 1288 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:52,200 And then Soto will be slightly below average and left like it 1289 01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,320 wasn't right. But I think that that will be 1290 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:58,720 solved for the most part. And but I just it was almost 1291 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:04,800 like arrogance or just a little again, presumptuous. 1292 01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:06,280 I'm going to use the word presumptuous. 1293 01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:10,440 Dodgers this, Dodgers that. Dude, you won 83 games. 1294 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:14,160 You got one Soto. All right, you won that. 1295 01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:16,800 You won the battle. You took them from the you 1296 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,680 didn't steal them. You took him from the Yankees. 1297 01:02:19,880 --> 01:02:22,520 Soto had the choice. Stay in the Bronx, go to Queens, 1298 01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:24,720 pick Queens, live with it. Deal with it. 1299 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:27,280 Yankee fans, stop crying and stop whining. 1300 01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,840 He's a Met and his first year with the Mets didn't even win 85 1301 01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,080 games. So I didn't I didn't love the 1302 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,280 tone there. I'm not even trying to crush 1303 01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,640 Cohen because if you just tuned it in, I hope you heard the 1304 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:40,440 beginning of it. I really like Steve Cohen and I 1305 01:02:40,440 --> 01:02:44,000 think he's a good owner and I wish Hal had some of his 1306 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:49,280 tendencies, you know, I wish he was predisposed to go for it the 1307 01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,600 way that Cohen is going for it. That doesn't mean I'm going to 1308 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:57,400 buy everything he says anyway. So I think it's been an 1309 01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:01,040 adjustment in the in the clubhouse, like in the in the 1310 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:02,760 mines Mets. And the other thing too. 1311 01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,560 One more thing about the captaincy, right? 1312 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:10,840 So imagine if they named Lindor captain and then they trade him. 1313 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,000 Like I think eventually Lindor is going to be not this year. 1314 01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,640 Eventually Francisco Lindor is going to be an X-Men. 1315 01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:20,560 I do not, I do not believe that he fulfills the life of his 1316 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,200 contract. J Rod, look it up. 1317 01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,360 I know he's got about 5 more years to go, I'm pretty sure. 1318 01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:29,080 Can you look up, go to, well, whatever database you want. 1319 01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:30,640 I usually go to baseball-reference.com. 1320 01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,720 Just type in Lindor. Let me know what he's got on the 1321 01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,440 length of his deal. Buddy, can you do that for me at 1322 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,720 City Moons? Zacuna is due for a due for a 1323 01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,760 monster season. Yeah, I mean, company steal 90 1324 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:44,560 bases a couple of years. Whatever he did, I don't even 1325 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,320 know what he did. Insane. 1326 01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:49,800 Like, I think the Braves have more talent than the Mets, but I 1327 01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:51,760 thought the Braves had more talent than the Mets last year. 1328 01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:54,040 And the Mets finished ahead of them in the standings. 1329 01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,920 So I also think the Marlins are getting a little competitive 1330 01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:57,960 with some of their young players. 1331 01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,560 Listen, this is not to make some wild baseless predictions or 1332 01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:08,200 crush somebody unnecessarily. I just don't really believe. 1333 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:10,640 I don't believe it. I don't believe the 1334 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,560 repositioning here by Cohen of the captaincy. 1335 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,960 It seemed like it was such a central thing for the Mets 1336 01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,080 organization, and now devoutly stating that's it. 1337 01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:20,840 Nope. As long as I own the team, never 1338 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:22,400 going to have a captain. Not going to happen. 1339 01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,960 Well, I'm not buying it. All right, so what's Lindor's 1340 01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:26,080 contract again? Go ahead. 1341 01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:31,280 So it is 10 years 341,000,000 and it ends in 2031. 1342 01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,040 Yeah, All right, 2031. So think about this guy's. 1343 01:04:34,160 --> 01:04:36,120 I mean that's crazy. What is HE27A year? 1344 01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:37,960 Do you have the the actual AAV breakdown? 1345 01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,480 Or no or a year is the. Average, that's right, 34, what 1346 01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:41,000 am I saying? All right. 1347 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,720 So 2031 is there not that is there a team option on that last 1348 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:46,960 year or no going to be some sort of option? 1349 01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:51,600 I'd imagine there's an option. It does got to be on sport rack. 1350 01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:52,880 That's the site I'm on right now. 1351 01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:58,960 It doesn't say. All it says is 2032 on the 1352 01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:01,960 restricted free agent. OK, so then I OK, So what either 1353 01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:05,280 way, so think about this guys. You've got the 2026 season, got 1354 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:12,200 the 2027 season, 2829 thirty. And then obviously 31 is fully 1355 01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:16,640 vested 6 years guaranteed. Now when the Mets got him, I I 1356 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:19,160 thought it was a great move. Mets needed that infusion of of 1357 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:24,160 a big name, middle of the diamond star charisma, post 1358 01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:28,080 season player, post season performer energy, you know, 1359 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:29,840 bounce against style like that stuff. 1360 01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:31,440 I mean, if you can't play, it doesn't matter. 1361 01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,880 But if you can like he can, it matters. 1362 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,080 And I thought it was the right move there. 1363 01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,520 Now it didn't get off on the right foot with Baez with that 1364 01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,120 nonsense, but they got rid of Baez fast. 1365 01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:44,160 I also think that, you know, like talking about a runway here 1366 01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:48,200 for Stearns and all right, you know, this is year three now. 1367 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,800 I'm a David Stearns believer. I'm a David Stearns fan. 1368 01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:54,640 I like that Cohen's let them construct the team the way he 1369 01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,960 wants to. That's why you hire somebody to 1370 01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,560 hire somebody and then not let them do what they used to do 1371 01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:02,840 that inspired you to hide that hire them in the first place is 1372 01:06:02,840 --> 01:06:05,520 the hide of idiocy. I just don't get that layout and 1373 01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,240 that happens a lot. Had this person so good at his 1374 01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:09,840 job. I'm going to bring him in. 1375 01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:11,320 I'm going to give him a boatload of cash. 1376 01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,040 I'm going to give him all the juice and the power of the 1377 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,000 world. Yeah, but then I'm not going to 1378 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:16,320 let him really do what he used to do. 1379 01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,560 So you should have hired him. And I'm not just talking about 1380 01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:21,880 Stearns, I'm talking about any, any workplace, Right. 1381 01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:26,320 You get, sometimes you'll get people in my business get hired 1382 01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,400 for big money and then there's complaints or they try to dial 1383 01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,040 them down or they try to, you know, like reposition. 1384 01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,440 But then why the hell did you give him a couple $1,000,000 a 1385 01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,480 year to do the job that they were doing somewhere else? 1386 01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:38,200 Why'd you do that? That's stupid. 1387 01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,160 That's bad business. So I just say that because we 1388 01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,400 talk about Stearns and the pressure and I know that he's 1389 01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:47,240 the GM, so he's responsible for everything. 1390 01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:49,920 And Lindor is, you know, one of nine players that hit every 1391 01:06:49,920 --> 01:06:51,800 night. Granted, behind Soto, he's their 1392 01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,840 best, but there's an expiration point with him as well. 1393 01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:58,120 I mean, the my girl and all that, It's great, great energy. 1394 01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:02,640 Is it going to sound the same when if not, not when, if in two 1395 01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,840 years the Mets haven't cut through and you know, there's a 1396 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,680 little I don't know. They just don't seem to be on 1397 01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:10,680 the World Series trajectory. There could still be 40,000 1398 01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:12,920 people in Queens singing my girl when he comes up to bat. 1399 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,680 Probably not because you're going to be exhausted by it 1400 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,720 because we've already had a lot of Lindoor discussions Now, to 1401 01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:22,200 be fair, some were dumb, including some by me. 1402 01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:24,960 What I said they should only hit from one side of the plate and I 1403 01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:25,960 owned it. I manned up. 1404 01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:30,400 I was also looking at at numbers in terms of bat speed and, and, 1405 01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:34,720 and, and, and performance from that side of the plate that that 1406 01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,960 helped me come to that conclusion, as erroneous as it 1407 01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,080 was. But you know, you, you, you 1408 01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:47,040 can't be that you can't have that profile with, with that 1409 01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:53,440 kind of energy and not win and have people accept it year in 1410 01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:55,720 and year out. No, it's not quite the same like 1411 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,040 with the NBA, Like if you have one superstar that he just can't 1412 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,080 quite cut through, it's going to be more demonstrative because, 1413 01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:05,160 you know, one player on the NBA and on the court is going to 1414 01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:09,200 obviously impact one guy who gets 6700 bats a year versus 1415 01:08:09,200 --> 01:08:11,720 somebody who's taking twenty shots a night and their usage 1416 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,840 rate is through the roof. I, I, I, I get it. 1417 01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,680 It's not the same comparison, but it's not that far off. 1418 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,840 Like there's, there's a limit as to how much you guys will 1419 01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:24,000 continue to buy. So I just think that that 1420 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:28,120 position by Cohen yesterday is partly fueled by I'm, I'm not 1421 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:29,840 saying that there's beef between Lindor and Soto. 1422 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,040 I'm not saying that at all, not one bit. 1423 01:08:32,399 --> 01:08:36,000 But you know, maybe a less than optimal relationship. 1424 01:08:36,279 --> 01:08:38,640 Like you could have no beef but still not be as tight as you 1425 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,120 wish that they were. That's as you wish that they 1426 01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:41,359 were. You know what I mean? 1427 01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:43,040 Like, I think it's pretty apparent. 1428 01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,880 And I, I, I hesitate to do this because I always try to separate 1429 01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:49,960 Yanks and Mets, But when, when, when something fits, I'm going 1430 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:53,160 to bring it in. I do think that you look at the 1431 01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,640 energy in the relationship of somebody like Judge and 1432 01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,880 Bellinger who just got there. I think it's very apparent. 1433 01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,840 I think it's a very easy day-to-day work relationship. 1434 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:03,920 I think they flow, I think they vibe. 1435 01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:05,680 I think they complement each other really well. 1436 01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:07,680 Can you say that about Soto and Lindor? 1437 01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,840 I can't, I can't say that, you know, so we'll see, we'll see. 1438 01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:13,399 I'm going to get a couple of texts here. 1439 01:09:13,399 --> 01:09:15,439 I want to get to something on Breece Hold as well. 1440 01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:18,439 Today's very big day in the NFL. You can start tagging people, 1441 01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,040 etcetera. Let's see. 1442 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:22,319 How about this year? Yep. 1443 01:09:22,319 --> 01:09:24,479 Captain's born later. Others gravitate to. 1444 01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:26,319 Not somebody who's looking to be captain. 1445 01:09:26,319 --> 01:09:29,359 Before Judge became captain, there wasn't a whisper that he 1446 01:09:29,359 --> 01:09:30,840 wanted it. Too many rumblings. 1447 01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:33,000 Lindor wants it. Yeah. 1448 01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:35,279 I mean, again, I want to be fair to the situation. 1449 01:09:35,319 --> 01:09:36,920 I mean, why wouldn't you want it? 1450 01:09:37,399 --> 01:09:40,479 Like, Yeah. I mean, we've had captains, you 1451 01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,760 know, I've on teams that I've been on and sometimes I've been 1452 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:47,479 a captain, sometimes I haven't. I always aspired to, you know, 1453 01:09:47,560 --> 01:09:50,680 when a coach named the captain, to be in a position to be the 1454 01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:53,319 captain through work ethic and through performance and stuff. 1455 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:57,280 But you know that it was never the main motivation. 1456 01:09:57,280 --> 01:10:00,400 It was to just have a good season, you know, I don't, I 1457 01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:04,840 don't know if he's really trying to be that guy and and if he is, 1458 01:10:05,480 --> 01:10:07,800 he's doing a really shitty job of being a captain. 1459 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:13,520 It just is, you know, you can't tell me that there's that. 1460 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:17,440 There's not at that. That the reason that Pete and 1461 01:10:17,440 --> 01:10:22,640 Nimmo and McNeil are gone is all derived from baseball 1462 01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,080 sensibility. You can't tell me that you can. 1463 01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,360 I just, I won't believe it. I choose not to buy it. 1464 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:28,560 I don't think that that's accurate. 1465 01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:32,080 Now, I'm not saying it's, you know, 10% baseball. 1466 01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:35,200 I, I, they did what I've been saying that they should do, but 1467 01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:39,120 saying trade McNeil, she stinks. I've been banging on Nimmo, you 1468 01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:42,640 know, in terms of his defensive prowess and rag arm and, you 1469 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:46,320 know, depreciating on base percentage or decreasing on base 1470 01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,400 percentage. And obviously Pete was a much 1471 01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,400 more complex conversation because he's a he's a great 1472 01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:54,760 prodigious power hitter. But his weaknesses I would point 1473 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,440 out, because I don't think that you win championships with guys 1474 01:10:57,440 --> 01:11:00,480 at first base, you know, who can't run, who do strike out a 1475 01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:03,040 lot and aren't reliable defensively. 1476 01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:06,440 I know he scoops the ball. I know, But I always thought 1477 01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,000 that there was a little bit more to it than that. 1478 01:11:09,440 --> 01:11:13,320 And it goes to, you know, several players like a fam or 1479 01:11:13,480 --> 01:11:16,600 other innuendo, other industry speculation. 1480 01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,320 There's just a lot of smoke around the Mets chemistry, like, 1481 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,160 come on. And the one guy who's still 1482 01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,720 here, again, he should be here because he's the better of of 1483 01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:25,800 all those players. But now there's nowhere else to 1484 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:27,360 point. Like Soto's going to bang 40 1485 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,360 bombs and hit 280, whatever. He's going to maybe more and 1486 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:33,480 have an OPS over 1000. Like Soto's going to be Soto. 1487 01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,280 He'll butcher a few balls in the left, he'll come in on a few 1488 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,440 liners that he shouldn't over his head. 1489 01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,440 He'll make a gap or two on the bases, but he's going to bang, 1490 01:11:41,440 --> 01:11:44,040 he's going to mash, and it's going to be consistently 1491 01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,040 reliable. I don't think you have any 1492 01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,960 issues with Soto at all. And it made a couple issues last 1493 01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:50,040 year. We were dogging him because he 1494 01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:51,880 wasn't hustling and that was justified. 1495 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:54,480 And he wasn't clutch, which is more of a baseball thing. 1496 01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,080 But like, there's nowhere else to point, you know what I mean? 1497 01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,720 You're not going to get on Louise Robert if things go awry 1498 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:04,680 or Brett Beatty or Simeon, you know, I mean, Bichette might 1499 01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:06,520 feel some heat if he's kicking balls and he's not hitting, 1500 01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:10,280 which he will hit, but that's the main target. 1501 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:12,120 There's just nowhere else to turn. 1502 01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:15,840 So in a long way, I, I like Steve Cohen. 1503 01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,520 I really do. I think he's a good owner. 1504 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,280 I was confused by the two years playoffs. 1505 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,120 That was just I'm misspoke. I'm going to give him that we 1506 01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:26,520 all do it on occasion. I'm not buying the other stuff 1507 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:28,920 about the captaincy. I don't believe it all right, 1508 01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:30,160 let me get the breeze hall a little bit here. 1509 01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:32,680 So today's a very interesting day. 1510 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:36,120 Let me see if I got any more texts on the B team. 1511 01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:44,480 Sal live 2 point O OK, no. So what do we do with Breeze 1512 01:12:44,480 --> 01:12:45,960 Hole here? Breeze Hole is a very 1513 01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:48,680 interesting figure. Jets have so many holes. 1514 01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:54,000 Jets have a lot of money. Now I've been saying $77 million 1515 01:12:54,040 --> 01:12:58,440 and these are all projections, but just so you guys know, I saw 1516 01:12:58,440 --> 01:13:00,680 something last night when I was getting ready for the show today 1517 01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,240 between 79 and 83,000,000. So it, it varies in terms of 1518 01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,760 available or anticipated available cap space. 1519 01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:09,840 And there's a couple of things they could do to fudge the 1520 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:11,800 numbers. Whatever, rework, restructure 1521 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:15,440 all that boring minutia with NFL contracts. 1522 01:13:15,480 --> 01:13:17,720 They got a shit load of money to spend and they got a lot of 1523 01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:19,960 problems to face. That's the short version. 1524 01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:24,320 Now Breeze Hall starting today and running up, I believe it's 1525 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:25,520 March 3rd. I just want to double check 1526 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:29,800 that. Let's see here, yes, through 1527 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,920 March 3rd. So now you can start tagging 1528 01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:34,760 players. What do you do with Breeze Hall? 1529 01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:38,720 Well, first of all, some numbers and some parameters. 1530 01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:43,560 The expected cost for Breeze Hall or for for a running back 1531 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:45,760 on the franchise take. And there's going to be a couple 1532 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,160 of good running backs for including Kenneth Walker, who's 1533 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:49,520 not going to be tagged by Seattle. 1534 01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,320 Interesting. So his market might be a little 1535 01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:54,400 suppressed like if Walker was and there's a couple other ones 1536 01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,600 too like if it was just Breece Hall, he might get a little bit 1537 01:13:57,600 --> 01:13:59,400 more money than then maybe he will. 1538 01:13:59,480 --> 01:14:02,000 Either way, 14 and a half million dollars the expected 1539 01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:04,440 cost for running back via the franchise tag. 1540 01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:09,960 Now they can they can obviously tag him and then work on a long 1541 01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:11,200 term deal. That's obvious. 1542 01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,600 They can also do the transition tag which is couple of 1543 01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:18,240 $1,000,000 less than $11.7 million, which I know would be a 1544 01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:21,480 lot more palatable for The Jets. Like listen, Priest Hall is 1545 01:14:21,480 --> 01:14:23,920 really good and I've kind of changed my tune. 1546 01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:25,480 I want Priest Hall to remain here. 1547 01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,320 I was actually open to trading him last year, like when they 1548 01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:30,480 were trading Sauce and Q. I'm like, dude, just finish the 1549 01:14:30,480 --> 01:14:33,520 job, get whatever you could. You know, Kansas City came with 1550 01:14:33,520 --> 01:14:36,600 a fourth round pick and once I found out what it was, I didn't 1551 01:14:36,600 --> 01:14:38,280 love that. Like I needed at least 1/3. 1552 01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,520 So I thought Muji showed good restraint and was willing to 1553 01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:42,960 engage. And if it was a better deal, 1554 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:44,480 they may have moved on from Priest Hall. 1555 01:14:44,480 --> 01:14:52,200 But see, the, the, the 11.7 via the transition tag is 1556 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:56,200 interesting because you know you're committing, but if 1557 01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,920 somebody comes with a higher offer, you've got the ability to 1558 01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:01,440 match it. So it, it gives you all sorts of 1559 01:15:01,440 --> 01:15:03,120 leverage where he's not out the door. 1560 01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:07,200 And if there's something that you deem irresponsible, 131415 1561 01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:08,800 I'm just throwing numbers out per year. 1562 01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,480 Too much guaranteed length, too much, whatever it might be. 1563 01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,120 Well, then you can say, you know what, a little bit too expensive 1564 01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:15,560 for us. We have too many things to fix. 1565 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:18,040 We're not ready to win yet for a position like that. 1566 01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:21,120 It's not justifiable cutting that kind of check, which which 1567 01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,120 I do understand here. I mean, I obviously do. 1568 01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,240 He's also shown no durability and that was the issue with 1569 01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:28,120 Presol. He's had three straight years 1570 01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,360 where he's played at least 16 games, one of which he played 1571 01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:33,720 seventeen first year, obviously over 1000 yards. 1572 01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:36,360 And, you know, outside of Garrett Wilson and you can even 1573 01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,560 make the case based on the inability for the quarterbacks 1574 01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,920 to do anything, you can make the case that Bree Sol's actually 1575 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,800 the The Jets best offensive weapon, even though I think, 1576 01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,960 yeah, I think Garrett Wilson's a better wide receiver. 1577 01:15:49,960 --> 01:15:52,800 If this makes sense, then Bree Sol, there's a running back like 1578 01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,600 I think there's I, I just do I even that's close. 1579 01:15:56,600 --> 01:16:00,400 Actually, you know, it's it's listen, it's really hard to 1580 01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:04,400 judge Garrett because he just never has a reliable air attack. 1581 01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,520 I mean, really. I mean, he's had some big years 1582 01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:11,160 with band aids. So he's a stud, banged up last 1583 01:16:11,240 --> 01:16:13,960 year, missed a lot of time. What should The Jets do? 1584 01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:18,760 Well, listen, if you listen to yesterday's show, I want The 1585 01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:22,160 Jets to go defense at #2 and I would really like The Jets to go 1586 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:25,880 defense at #16 They don't need an offensive lineman, you know, 1587 01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,920 could they take a receiver at 16 to compliment Garrett Shore at? 1588 01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:33,400 And I'd be open to that as well. But for me, looking at the mock 1589 01:16:33,400 --> 01:16:35,680 drafts and looking what's whether it's Reese from Ohio 1590 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,120 State, whether it's Caleb Downs, and I would take Caleb Downs 1591 01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:39,720 too. I mean, people talking about 1592 01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:42,560 John Horrible, you know, was salivating over Caleb Downs and 1593 01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:46,160 rightfully so when he joined Francis's podcast the other day. 1594 01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:48,840 I got no problem taking, but #5 I got no problem taking. 1595 01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,120 But #2 like, if you think somebody's going to be a 1596 01:16:51,120 --> 01:16:53,920 superstar transcendent now, you better be right. 1597 01:16:54,200 --> 01:16:57,160 Transcendent player. And that's truly your football 1598 01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:58,320 conviction. Take him. 1599 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:02,520 You know, I'd be I would I would alter that for a running back. 1600 01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:03,760 We went through this with Saquon. 1601 01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,160 That's like the one position I'd probably say, but obviously 1602 01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:08,760 corner it 2. We see it a lot. 1603 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:14,080 Tackle it 2 left tackle, D tackle, edge rush, you know, 1604 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,640 boom, haven't really seen a tight ended 2. 1605 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,720 That's that's a bit early. It's a couple of spots. 1606 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:24,720 I'd say we sure about this, but I think if The Jets go defense 2 1607 01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:29,280 and 16, if you retain Breece Hall, I think it really enables 1608 01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:32,920 you to do that because if you lose Breece Hall, you're not 1609 01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:36,760 going to draft the running back with two or 16 nobody. 1610 01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,320 I don't think it's worth it and I don't think they would do it. 1611 01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:44,320 So you've got at least have the semblance of an offense and he 1612 01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:47,360 receives the ball very well and he's a hell of a runner and the 1613 01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,240 the zone, you know, run scheme, not to get 2X's and O's on you, 1614 01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:53,000 but that that Frank Reich is going to run. 1615 01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:55,360 I think he's going to sue pre so incredibly well. 1616 01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:56,840 So I'm not looking to get rid of him. 1617 01:17:56,880 --> 01:18:00,560 I'm looking to keep him. Now, I think what you do is, 1618 01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,960 first of all, I'd be stunned if The Jets don't tag him. 1619 01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:06,880 Like if The Jets don't tag him on any level and he just walks 1620 01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:08,240 out the building, they're idiots. 1621 01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:10,960 Like you could tell me, we could have a discussion. 1622 01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,480 Do you go full tag or do you go the transition tag, which is 1623 01:18:14,480 --> 01:18:17,640 obviously 11.7 versus 14 versus 14 six. 1624 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,240 That's debatable. But I at least need to know that 1625 01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:25,160 I control the the like the the ability to retain him if I deem 1626 01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:28,880 something irresponsible and more more directly, it gives me a 1627 01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:32,560 runway to come up with a number that's going to satisfy Breece 1628 01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:36,000 and, you know, retain him for a couple that he's going to be 25. 1629 01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:40,000 He's not even 25 yet. He turns 25 at the end of May 1630 01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:42,600 24. You know, and because he missed 1631 01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:46,160 some time with his knee, he hasn't taken those hits that a 1632 01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:50,080 lot of young running backs do. Now, if he hadn't retained his 1633 01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:51,760 burst, I'd say, well, it's not, but he has. 1634 01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:54,760 So he was shielded for about a year and a half, not getting the 1635 01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,760 carries that he would have if he didn't get hurt in Denver all 1636 01:18:57,760 --> 01:18:59,600 those years ago when he ripped up his ACL. 1637 01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:03,520 So you'd have to think he's fresher than most running backs 1638 01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:06,760 in terms of wear and tear. He's obviously a proven 1639 01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:08,640 performer. I think he wants to be a Jet. 1640 01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:13,720 And I, I think you find a way to, to negotiate a number to 1641 01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:18,360 keep them, but also to keep that number down from whether it's 1642 01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:19,880 14-6. I mean, he's going to get, I 1643 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:21,040 would think he's going to get 11. 1644 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:22,560 I'd have to think that's a starting point. 1645 01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,480 So the transition tag would just be basically see what's out 1646 01:19:25,480 --> 01:19:27,440 there. I think you slap him with the 1647 01:19:27,440 --> 01:19:30,040 with the franchise tag. Matter of fact, I'm almost 1648 01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,440 positive that they will. I don't know when, but you have 1649 01:19:32,440 --> 01:19:35,200 until March 3rd. You slap it down and then you 1650 01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:37,920 negotiate and you come up with something that's more palatable 1651 01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,440 financially for you. So you're not giving them, you 1652 01:19:40,440 --> 01:19:43,440 know, 1314 a year. You stretch things out. 1653 01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:46,480 You stretch things out over the course of the three-year deal. 1654 01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,360 And maybe that fourth year is window dressing and that's how 1655 01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,080 you attack debris hall situation. 1656 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,720 That's what they should do. That's what I believe that they 1657 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:57,680 will do. I just can't imagine a situation 1658 01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:02,200 where Breece Hall is in Kansas City and The Jets have nothing 1659 01:20:02,200 --> 01:20:04,160 to show for it. Like they didn't have a chance 1660 01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:07,320 to, you know, to retain him. I mean, that would be idiotic, 1661 01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:09,040 and there's no way Mooji's doing that. 1662 01:20:10,480 --> 01:20:12,560 So I feel pretty good about that. 1663 01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,960 And I wasn't sure about Breece Hall because my mentality for a 1664 01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:19,880 while was, well, you're not a good team. 1665 01:20:20,440 --> 01:20:22,920 You know, running backs were a dime a dozen, but that's kind of 1666 01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:24,080 shit. Think about the Super Bowl 1667 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:25,320 that's kind of shifted a little bit. 1668 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,880 Think about Saquon the year before, right with the Philly 1669 01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:31,000 winning the championship, being a beast, doing what he did. 1670 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:34,920 I think that the the the appreciation for running backs 1671 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,720 is is kind of not quite to where it was like when Tiki and those 1672 01:20:37,720 --> 01:20:40,320 guys played Sean Alexander, Marshall Faulk and those dudes. 1673 01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,480 I'm not saying it's going to ever be get back to that point. 1674 01:20:42,480 --> 01:20:44,520 I don't think it will games change too much. 1675 01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:49,320 It's too vertical. But my old mindset was let him 1676 01:20:49,320 --> 01:20:52,280 go because why are you going to invest that kind of money in 1677 01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:54,720 somebody who's not going to change the bottom line? 1678 01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:57,320 But you still need to have a competitive team, man. 1679 01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:01,280 And you'd have to think that like The Jets are going to at 1680 01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:03,920 some point, you know, maybe it's Ty Simpson. 1681 01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:04,840 I don't know what they're going to do. 1682 01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:07,040 But like, at some point, there's going to be an experiment with a 1683 01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,440 younger quarterback. I don't mean in around 5 or 6, I 1684 01:21:09,440 --> 01:21:12,400 would think somewhat earlier. And if that young man's on the 1685 01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,200 field, you've got to have a proven commodity in the 1686 01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:17,960 backfield to at least throw some swing passes, too, and avoid get 1687 01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,320 your brains beat in. So I do think that Reese's is 1688 01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,400 going to stay here. The only thing that I can't 1689 01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:27,680 really calculate, I don't know if he's just so rubbed off by 1690 01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:32,040 the losing that he would take $0.90 on the dollar somewhere 1691 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:34,200 else to win. I don't know that. 1692 01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:36,880 And if that's the case, God bless him because that tells me 1693 01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:38,960 he wants to win. And I would respect that. 1694 01:21:39,040 --> 01:21:41,280 You know what I mean? The Jets should call up the 1695 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,760 Colts and try to trade for wide receiver Michael Pittman. 1696 01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,600 There's a report he might be a cap casualty. 1697 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,400 I mean, listen, yeah, but if you're the Indianapolis Colts, 1698 01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:50,720 you want to do business with Muji. 1699 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:52,360 He just bent you over and played you. 1700 01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:55,120 I mean, think about that now. They didn't know that Jones was 1701 01:21:55,120 --> 01:21:56,200 going to get hurt and all that stuff. 1702 01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:58,240 But think about where that draft pick was. 1703 01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,880 I think it was like 28 or 29 when The Jets actually made that 1704 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:03,000 move. And think about where it 1705 01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:04,080 finished up. Every week. 1706 01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:06,040 It was like better, better, better, better. 1707 01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:08,280 So they're probably pissed off now. 1708 01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:11,960 That should not preclude them, if you're a smart organization, 1709 01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:15,240 from doing another deal, if you believe it's a favorable deal. 1710 01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,840 Like I always say that you know, there's a thought like, like, 1711 01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:22,280 you know, the Yankees, the Mets or The Jets and the Giants. 1712 01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:25,640 Or even like saying out of The Jets and the Bills or the Giants 1713 01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:29,080 and the Eagles or the Niners in Seattle or the Raiders and the 1714 01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:33,280 Chiefs or whatever, the Dodgers and the Giants in baseball like 1715 01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:36,480 rivalries, Knicks, Pacers, the old rivalries, Knicks, Bulls, 1716 01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:39,360 Knicks, Heat, like that. A lot of people like, oh, I 1717 01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:40,880 can't do a trade with them. They're the enemy. 1718 01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,200 They're the rival. Yeah, but if it's a trade that's 1719 01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,160 going to enrich your organization and you believe in 1720 01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:49,480 your process and your decision making, why would you take less 1721 01:22:49,480 --> 01:22:51,840 from somebody else? Why would you do that just to 1722 01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:54,560 avoid the possible PR hit that you got played by your rival? 1723 01:22:54,680 --> 01:22:56,280 That's stupid. That's shallow. 1724 01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:58,960 Thought I wouldn't do it. I'll take the best outcome. 1725 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:04,760 Who it's with James 555K What up James SPT What do you think of 1726 01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,640 Sonny Styles for the Giants in the draft? 1727 01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:09,920 It seems they never have good linebackers. 1728 01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:13,800 You know, I don't think that the Giant, The Giants are 1729 01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,880 interesting to me because Horrible's never had a pick this 1730 01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:21,640 high, which is really appealing. And plus the rosters got some 1731 01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:23,880 really good players and he got the quarterback and it's the 1732 01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:25,960 giants. So and they paid you and you've 1733 01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:28,720 got all the power. So as a no doubter for Harbaugh 1734 01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:30,920 to take this shot, but I think he's going to get it fixed very 1735 01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:33,720 soon. I think they're going to make a 1736 01:23:33,720 --> 01:23:36,360 move possibly for a Linda bound the the former Center for the 1737 01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:37,640 Ravens. Like I'd like to see The Jets 1738 01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:39,360 being on that market. But I mean, think about that. 1739 01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:42,320 If he's got a great rapport, if and I think he might if he's got 1740 01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,640 a great relationship with Harbaugh, why wouldn't Harbaugh 1741 01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:46,840 want him? He's he's terrific. 1742 01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:49,520 He's in his mid 20s. He's a massive upgrade. 1743 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,520 And if there's familiarity there, I, I read something this 1744 01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:58,000 morning, I think his win rate was like 97.9% on pass blocking. 1745 01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,680 Now part of that's also, well, I mean, it's not just derive from 1746 01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:04,200 Lamar getting out of the pocket. Win rate is keeping them away as 1747 01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:05,480 well. So that's a good stat. 1748 01:24:05,880 --> 01:24:07,360 I don't, I don't know about linebacker. 1749 01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:09,760 I think the Giants, I think they really will. 1750 01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:12,880 If Caleb Downs is there at 5, I think they will take him. 1751 01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,760 And I think that they should because you have that third 1752 01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:20,320 level infusion of, of what what I think will ultimately be 1753 01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:22,880 greatness. I think he will be phenomenal. 1754 01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:27,520 Like, I hate the Hall of Famer cheese, but I really do think 1755 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:29,680 that he's got that that kind of that kind of talent. 1756 01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:31,760 And it's only going to make the guys up front better. 1757 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:33,520 Yeah. They've been thin at linebacker 1758 01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:35,040 for a while. Then I, I mean, listen, if Reese 1759 01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:38,160 falls, I think The Jets probably wind up taking Reese. 1760 01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:41,240 That's my guess now. I, I like him. 1761 01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,480 I don't know if I'd be fully enamored with that pick. 1762 01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:45,600 I would prefer Caleb Downs myself. 1763 01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:49,720 I've said that or trade out and maybe get somebody else, maybe 1764 01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:53,360 the kid from Texas Tech, Ruben Baines, Florida, Other ways. 1765 01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,120 It's it's early. There's other ways Jets could 1766 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:57,920 go. But I feel great confidence 1767 01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:00,600 saying if Downs is there at 5, they're taking them. 1768 01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:03,920 And even if Reese is there at 5, I think that they would bypass 1769 01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:05,240 Reese. I would think they would take 1770 01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:06,880 Downs. And that's what I would do. 1771 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,800 You know, I don't think The Jets going to mess this up. 1772 01:25:11,480 --> 01:25:15,880 You know, I don't I don't know where this offseason goes, but 1773 01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:19,800 like one of the things that that is keeping me afloat here as a 1774 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:23,040 Jets fan, I think they've got a good general manager. 1775 01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:28,760 I really do small sample. Muji is proven to be aggressive, 1776 01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,600 smart. He's a forward thinker. 1777 01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:33,800 Think he's got a modern approach to business. 1778 01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:36,480 Like, I mean, those were big trades, man. 1779 01:25:36,480 --> 01:25:39,320 That's like a basketball trade in the middle of the season. 1780 01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:42,200 You get rid of sauce and cue and get what you got. 1781 01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:45,400 Phenomenal. Like that took a willingness to 1782 01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:48,880 take it on the chin because he knew they didn't have much with 1783 01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:51,120 those guys. He knew that they were going to 1784 01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:55,080 get crushed on the scoreboard, maybe not so much in the court 1785 01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:57,920 of public opinion. I think I think more people were 1786 01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,480 out on sauce than they were in I think the year before. 1787 01:26:01,480 --> 01:26:03,960 It was totally different. But I, I think the more you 1788 01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:06,400 watch sauce, you know, unless you just, you know, fanboy. 1789 01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:11,240 I I guy didn't tackle light is getting hurt a little bit never 1790 01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,200 made picks. So what the hell we paying him 1791 01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,480 for? If you can't tackle, you got at 1792 01:26:15,480 --> 01:26:18,040 least flip the field once in a while and he just didn't do it 1793 01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,560 And with Quentin, who's a hell of a player and played a lot 1794 01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:22,960 better in Dallas with a stunner when he got there more 1795 01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:26,120 competitive situation. I I mean, I would have preferred 1796 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:29,760 to keep Q if I could, but he's been here long enough. 1797 01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:31,520 All right, let's try something else. 1798 01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:35,160 So it was the big moves that he showed a willingness and an 1799 01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:39,600 aptitude to make, but also some of those ancillary moves early, 1800 01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,480 like he brought in some players that I didn't even really know 1801 01:26:42,480 --> 01:26:44,400 about him like that, that that's that's interesting. 1802 01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:45,920 Even Brownlee early from the Titans. 1803 01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:48,320 It worked out for a minute and then he kind of fizzled out. 1804 01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:51,360 But you know, special teams players cutting guys on the on 1805 01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:54,160 the return game, bringing guys in who actually did really, 1806 01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:58,000 really well. You know, I, I, I think The Jets 1807 01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:00,800 have a good GM. I don't know about the coach. 1808 01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,120 Yeah, I don't care if you have the, the, the best general 1809 01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,400 manager you could have, like Jerry West. 1810 01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,840 You know, if Jerry West was as good at football as he was in 1811 01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:11,680 basketball, if you don't have a quarterback, it doesn't matter. 1812 01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:15,240 We all know that. So interesting, exciting time. 1813 01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:18,560 I'm really looking forward to the draft. 1814 01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:21,000 You know, Jets have a lot of equity. 1815 01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:23,920 Giants only have two picks in the 1st 100. 1816 01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:26,080 So that it's more important. I mean, Jets have to nail it as 1817 01:27:26,080 --> 01:27:28,040 well. But like the urgency for that 1818 01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:31,120 5th pick for the Giants, They can't get a guy like put it this 1819 01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:35,600 way, We've talked a lot about Kayvon Fibodo on the fan, me and 1820 01:27:35,600 --> 01:27:39,800 Sal, right? And he's OK, he's fine. 1821 01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:42,440 Did he really deliver what you thought he was going to deliver? 1822 01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:44,560 Is Kayvon Thibodeau a game wrecker? 1823 01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:47,160 The answer is no. You know that and I know that 1824 01:27:47,480 --> 01:27:48,960 now. I just happen to know that. 1825 01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:52,080 And we happen to know that before you wanted to admit it, 1826 01:27:52,480 --> 01:27:54,200 which is why everybody was getting on us. 1827 01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:57,600 I'll never forget you. I'll never forget the horrendous 1828 01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:00,960 Jets Giants game a couple of years ago in the rain, right 1829 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,760 where the Giants didn't let the veto throw the ball. 1830 01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:05,280 They're going backwards. Wow. 1831 01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:07,960 I mean, that's one of the all time worst games ever. 1832 01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,000 And what was it a strip sack or something? 1833 01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:13,440 Then of course, you know, The Jets got lucky and somehow 1834 01:28:13,440 --> 01:28:16,120 figured a way to win. But I remember the announcers, 1835 01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:18,760 they were saying like they were even clowning us. 1836 01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:21,080 I think it was Catalan, who I know and I've worked with and I 1837 01:28:21,080 --> 01:28:23,120 like a lot. And I don't know whoever was 1838 01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,360 doing the game is the what was it Tiki? 1839 01:28:25,360 --> 01:28:28,360 I don't think it was Tik whomever it was like the oh, 1840 01:28:28,360 --> 01:28:31,520 it's been a theme on social. Oh, cave on Thibodau can play 1841 01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:33,000 like, you know, the little Zing there. 1842 01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,080 Yeah. You want cave on Thibodau, you 1843 01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:37,560 know, extended for four years. You still want that all that 1844 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:39,640 smack that you guys were talking to me and Sal. 1845 01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:41,760 Oh, you guys are so wrong on cave on Thibodau. 1846 01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:45,640 Even if you think about the genesis of the beef and I say 1847 01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:47,440 beef, he's he's my guy. I love them. 1848 01:28:47,440 --> 01:28:51,160 We smoothed it out. Sal and Carl are are fine, but 1849 01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:54,320 that's what happened with Carl. That was The Cave on Thibodau 1850 01:28:54,320 --> 01:28:57,840 stuff. Now I know he flashed more last 1851 01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:01,360 year, but you know you shouldn't be flashing at this point. 1852 01:29:01,560 --> 01:29:04,960 You should be wrecking games when you're a top ten pick and 1853 01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,320 your job is to get to the quarterback like it. 1854 01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,560 I don't want to hear about getting around the quarterback, 1855 01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,360 which is why finally, when Abdul Carter started playing better 1856 01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:15,960 last year instead of always got, he leads rookies and pressures. 1857 01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:18,480 Wow, fantastic. How about you put your helmet in 1858 01:29:18,480 --> 01:29:21,480 his chest and actually get him on the turf instead of being in 1859 01:29:21,480 --> 01:29:23,520 the neighborhood? That's what you were drafted to 1860 01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:24,520 do. And he started to do it. 1861 01:29:24,720 --> 01:29:27,680 And I never once once weighed from Abdul Carter. 1862 01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:29,800 That young man is going to be a superstar. 1863 01:29:29,960 --> 01:29:32,480 Kayvon Thibodeau will not be. Doesn't mean it can't be a 1864 01:29:32,480 --> 01:29:35,040 useful player. But when you think about this, 1865 01:29:35,880 --> 01:29:38,560 you ask Giant fans, you know, all you think about was pick up 1866 01:29:38,560 --> 01:29:40,240 the option should they extend him? 1867 01:29:40,600 --> 01:29:42,400 I mean, you're getting a massive split. 1868 01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:46,160 And I think at this point, most of you believe that Giants 1869 01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:49,760 eventually and ultimately will be better served by not paying 1870 01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:51,200 him big money. I don't think they're going to 1871 01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:51,840 die. I wouldn't do it. 1872 01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:55,360 I wouldn't pay him that money. So it's funny, you know, it's 1873 01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:56,720 funny how the stuff comes back up. 1874 01:29:56,720 --> 01:30:00,920 A lot of the things that BT and Sal used to say, a lot of things 1875 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:05,480 have come to roost, you know, pretty prescient on our part, 1876 01:30:05,480 --> 01:30:08,880 you know, hey, don't get mad at me. 1877 01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:11,040 Don't get mad at us just because we had the butt that the the 1878 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:14,080 balls to say things that you guys didn't want here or the 1879 01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:17,200 aptitude to read something that was in the early stage and 1880 01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:19,080 ultimately be right. Like, I'm not trying to be 1881 01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:20,920 arrogant here, but you guys were. 1882 01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:22,920 You guys were coming at us and we loved it. 1883 01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:24,480 We didn't get like the more energy the better. 1884 01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:25,800 You know, we were built for that. 1885 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:28,360 But my goodness, I mean, did we get anything wrong? 1886 01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:30,800 No, but I got the I got the Lindor stuff wrong. 1887 01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:34,520 I got the Lindor stuff wrong.

I want to get a couple of more 1918 01:31:56,360 --> 01:32:01,240 texts before we bounce here. Oh, I mentioned yesterday that 1919 01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:03,120 we went to Medieval Times. Have you ever done that? 1920 01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:05,640 I've never been. I've heard like funny things. 1921 01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:08,800 I think I saw like a skit about it a while ago, but no. 1922 01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:10,760 How was that experience? Phenomenal. 1923 01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:13,880 I loved it. I know it's you know like I 1924 01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:18,360 don't know corny one O 1. You know medieval times, you 1925 01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:21,080 know, but it was great man. I loved it. 1926 01:32:21,080 --> 01:32:24,920 The venue was awesome and I think we got hosed because, you 1927 01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:27,080 know what happens is you get a sign to color, right? 1928 01:32:27,480 --> 01:32:30,040 You get a sign to color. And I, the one that we went to, 1929 01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:31,520 I think it seats about 1000 people. 1930 01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:33,000 Like it's a big venue. Yeah. 1931 01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:35,600 Yeah. I was thinking there might be 80 1932 01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:36,600 people. I don't know. 1933 01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:41,280 We went to the 4:00 PM showing yesterday, my family and my 1934 01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:43,560 son's best friend's family out really good friends of ours. 1935 01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:45,120 Awesome. So it was like, I think it was 1936 01:32:45,120 --> 01:32:47,600 nine of us, right. And you walk in it's medieval 1937 01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:51,400 times, the armor this the sword. I didn't say swords, swords. 1938 01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:54,280 I started to say swords. And if you guys know that, you 1939 01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:56,600 know what, it's swords. So I I stay corrected on that 1940 01:32:56,600 --> 01:33:00,120 swords, not swords, swords. Anyway, you walk in, you get a 1941 01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:05,040 color and then they come out the night on the horse and so and so 1942 01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:09,760 peasants or, you know, meet them, the Sir, whomever, right. 1943 01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:12,760 They told me that real theatrical, you know, I'm sure 1944 01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:14,680 everybody's an aspiring actor that's doing it. 1945 01:33:15,040 --> 01:33:18,200 And they come out and each section has a color that they're 1946 01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:19,720 assigned to. So we were blue. 1947 01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:21,760 And, you know, while this is going on, they're doing like 1948 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:23,680 jousting at all sorts of competitions. 1949 01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:25,360 And then and then they finish it up. 1950 01:33:25,680 --> 01:33:28,520 And like I was trying to figure out and I know that the swords 1951 01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:30,560 aren't sharp. I know that, but they're heavy 1952 01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:33,400 as they have to be heavy. And I originally thought like 1953 01:33:33,400 --> 01:33:36,360 when they clank swords. Now, some of it is, you know, 1954 01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:40,120 like you get a bad wrestling move in the ring, like, that was 1955 01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:42,880 not real, all right? Some of the falls are like that 1956 01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:44,600 and jumping off horses, which was wild. 1957 01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,240 That was really well done, sis. Yo. 1958 01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:48,360 Yeah. No, Absolutely. 1959 01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:50,440 Yeah. I got to check this out dude, 1960 01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:53,400 some fun. J Rod and the horses. 1961 01:33:53,400 --> 01:33:56,320 So they do one of the things where you've got one horse going 1962 01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:59,640 this way, one horse going that way and they've got these big 1963 01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:03,880 wooden nuts, like big wooden sticks and they got to smash 1964 01:34:03,880 --> 01:34:06,360 each other. And I think whoever stick breaks 1965 01:34:07,360 --> 01:34:09,160 loses. And when I tell you the wood, 1966 01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:11,520 they actually pulled down a net because the wood gets shattered, 1967 01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:14,080 goes everywhere like it is, it's explosive. 1968 01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:15,840 That's kind of sick. It was really good. 1969 01:34:15,840 --> 01:34:17,600 It was it was combative. It was good energy. 1970 01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,200 And what I was trying to figure out, I'm like, they have to be 1971 01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:23,600 piping in the sounds because every time those metal now when 1972 01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:25,040 they were like, then they got off the horse. 1973 01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:27,440 Then they get on their feet and they're like hitting each other 1974 01:34:27,440 --> 01:34:31,000 and whacking each other. And every time the swords would 1975 01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:32,600 meet, if you would hear this massive. 1976 01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:35,240 Yeah. And I'm like, yeah, that sounds. 1977 01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:37,840 But then as I really started to watch it through like, you know, 1978 01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:40,920 content or production mind, you know, I'm like, that's either 1979 01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:45,160 impeccable timing or it's real. And then you saw like, sparks 1980 01:34:45,160 --> 01:34:47,800 flash. I mean, I guess maybe that could 1981 01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:50,040 be part of the theater as well. But I think that they were 1982 01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:54,240 really hitting each other and I think we got hoes because we 1983 01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:57,000 absolutely had the best athlete. Like if this guy could play 1984 01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:00,720 linebacker for the Giants, Jack fast, jumping around, good 1985 01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:03,640 energy. It was really, really, really 1986 01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:05,440 cool. Not cheap, but I'll tell you 1987 01:35:05,440 --> 01:35:09,480 this too, that the thing that you do and they serve you like 1988 01:35:09,560 --> 01:35:13,440 in a in a very medieval way. So you get this big heavy like 1989 01:35:13,440 --> 01:35:17,920 metal or or I guess it's metal cup of, of soup, right? 1990 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,480 And you have no spoon. You got to you got to drink it, 1991 01:35:20,480 --> 01:35:22,440 right. Then they bring you a massive 1992 01:35:22,440 --> 01:35:24,520 slab chicken. And honestly, the chicken was a 1993 01:35:24,560 --> 01:35:26,960 tick dry in the middle. Not that bad though, right? 1994 01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:30,080 The chicken was good and it was a massive chicken breast, right? 1995 01:35:30,320 --> 01:35:32,320 And you get a little side of corn on the cob and you get a 1996 01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:34,560 potato and they don't give you utensils. 1997 01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,560 You have to eat with your hands. That's hilarious. 1998 01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:39,040 It was cool. I was going to ask like how how 1999 01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:41,000 was the food? I mean it sounds pretty decent 2000 01:35:41,000 --> 01:35:44,640 and you know what, if you got rub down old school style, I 2001 01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:48,960 feel like it's a good immersive. Experience it was it was the 2002 01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:50,600 listen, the food was like a diner. 2003 01:35:50,840 --> 01:35:53,760 Like when I go to a diner, I get, you know, a couple of eggs 2004 01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:56,920 over easy or, you know, mozzarella sticks or a hamburger 2005 01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,520 with mushrooms. Like I kind of stick to the 2006 01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:02,800 basic, you know, maybe toasted, bake with butter, whatever to 2007 01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:05,040 the menu is a very short menu for me at the diner. 2008 01:36:05,200 --> 01:36:07,720 Like I would not go to a diner and we go to diner all the time 2009 01:36:08,440 --> 01:36:10,760 and order like chicken breast. Like I, I wouldn't do that at 2010 01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:13,240 the diner. I would imagine if I did it 2011 01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:15,360 would it would be passable And that's how I would grade 2012 01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:17,880 yesterday's chicken. Again, you got to the middle of 2013 01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:18,960 it. It was a tick dry. 2014 01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:22,040 But dude, it was good and it was really, it was immersive. 2015 01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:24,520 It was really fun. The kids loved it. 2016 01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:27,680 Now all the different tchotchkes that they're running around 2017 01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:31,640 like, oh, by the sword, by the sword, by the sword that lights 2018 01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:35,560 up and by the the flag of, of the, of your team, so to speak. 2019 01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:38,200 I'm not doing that like, you know, because they didn't even 2020 01:36:38,200 --> 01:36:40,320 play with the stuff. At least my son, I got him a 2021 01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:44,080 sword from the Pirates of the Caribbean in Disney. 2022 01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:47,000 He never played with it. He was always just, you know, a 2023 01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:51,560 sports kid or building stuff, like he didn't play with toys 2024 01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:53,720 that way. So I'm not going to buy it now. 2025 01:36:53,720 --> 01:36:56,000 If he would have just turned 11, OK, My door went. 2026 01:36:56,200 --> 01:36:58,320 Through a hilarious comment. Wow, what is it? 2027 01:36:58,320 --> 01:37:02,600 Say Rod versus Bada booms fight to the death in medieval times. 2028 01:37:02,760 --> 01:37:04,080 All right, well, listen, I don't. 2029 01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:07,800 I can you handle yourself, man? I mean I don't Bada Booms might 2030 01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:09,480 be able to throw hands. That's what I mean. 2031 01:37:09,480 --> 01:37:13,560 He might be able to joust me off a horse in a stat so. 2032 01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:15,760 I don't know about that. I mean, why are you saying that? 2033 01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:17,160 Don't, don't, don't, don't acquiesce there. 2034 01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:18,760 Come on. You got to project confidence on 2035 01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:21,160 Unleashed here. You can't you now you want to be 2036 01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:23,560 respectful and say alright, I'll leave the door open, maybe 2037 01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:25,200 bottom booms could take me down. But you don't. 2038 01:37:25,280 --> 01:37:27,600 You don't defer to Bobby. It'd be a great. 2039 01:37:27,600 --> 01:37:29,720 Joust. It'd be a great joust between me 2040 01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:31,600 and Mr. Booms. That's all we say. 2041 01:37:32,440 --> 01:37:33,960 Then me and Sal will get after it. 2042 01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:35,560 I'll put Sal down that I can. Say. 2043 01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:39,160 I'll put him down gently, but I'll put him down it. 2044 01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:41,280 It was cool. And then today, have you seen 2045 01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:43,200 the trailers? I know you'd have kids, so it's 2046 01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:45,120 a little different. There's a movie out there called 2047 01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:46,280 Goat. Have you heard about this? 2048 01:37:46,280 --> 01:37:48,760 I've seen the trailers for it, I think, I mean, when I saw Marty 2049 01:37:48,760 --> 01:37:51,400 Supreme, I think a couple weeks ago, it was in the theater. 2050 01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:53,000 So yeah, saw it. Looks cool. 2051 01:37:53,000 --> 01:37:54,520 How's how's your son feeling for it? 2052 01:37:54,520 --> 01:37:55,120 Is he? Excited. 2053 01:37:55,480 --> 01:37:57,720 Yeah, my, my daughter. I was going to I take my I love 2054 01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:59,000 going to the movies. Yeah, he's excited. 2055 01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:00,320 I'm going to take him with his buddy Brody. 2056 01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:02,200 So we're going to go later in the day. 2057 01:38:02,200 --> 01:38:06,040 I was going to of course, take my daughter too, but one of her 2058 01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:08,400 friends reached out to my wife last night, ironically and said, 2059 01:38:08,400 --> 01:38:11,480 Hey, I'm taking I'm taking Stevie to to the movies to does 2060 01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:12,800 he goat? Can I take kins? 2061 01:38:12,800 --> 01:38:15,560 I'm like and and this was a great was this made me feel 2062 01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:19,840 really good Kins. Initially, my daughter told Jen 2063 01:38:19,840 --> 01:38:23,440 no because daddy's taking me out of her daddy's feelings, right? 2064 01:38:23,440 --> 01:38:26,040 That's so sweet. And then mom rightly, because 2065 01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:27,520 listen, you know, you want to hang out with your friends as 2066 01:38:27,520 --> 01:38:29,280 much as you can rightly say, you know what? 2067 01:38:29,280 --> 01:38:31,440 No, no, daddy would loved you would really love for you to go 2068 01:38:31,440 --> 01:38:33,000 with Stevie. You know, it's cool. 2069 01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:35,440 And then she's like you sure. And Jen's like, Yep. 2070 01:38:35,440 --> 01:38:37,320 So she's she's actually I think she's there now. 2071 01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:39,240 I think that they went to the early show. 2072 01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:41,520 I love going to the movies. I don't know what it is. 2073 01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:45,760 I mean, I do know what it is, but I just love going and 2074 01:38:45,760 --> 01:38:48,160 getting the popcorn and, you know, not going nuts like a 2075 01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:51,800 Gavone with the candy, but a massive bucket of popcorn with a 2076 01:38:51,800 --> 01:38:55,880 ton of syrup, butter, I mean, and and a nice Sprite and just 2077 01:38:55,880 --> 01:38:58,600 sitting there and now that the seats vibrate, you got the 2078 01:38:58,600 --> 01:39:00,960 little wooden thing that flips over for your table. 2079 01:39:01,240 --> 01:39:03,440 It's not like going to the movies when I was going. 2080 01:39:03,440 --> 01:39:04,840 No, nothing. I love it. 2081 01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:07,240 I do love it. So we're going later for GOAT 2082 01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:11,160 and Medieval times last night. Wait, I got a little corny, but 2083 01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:13,200 it's first time I've done it and was awesome. 2084 01:39:13,480 --> 01:39:16,000 And I didn't think it was corny like I thought it was corny 2085 01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,760 before I went. I'm like medieval times, but I, 2086 01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:21,400 I never got all these years. I I never, there was none of 2087 01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:24,720 that growing up in Brooklyn.

You guys have done a really good 2100 01:39:52,360 --> 01:39:54,320 job. The likes, you know, all the 2101 01:39:54,320 --> 01:39:58,160 stuff, the retweets on, on, on, on all the other platforms, the 2102 01:39:58,160 --> 01:39:59,720 hypes. I've seen some hypes coming in a 2103 01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:01,840 little bit here. Yeah, pay attention to the hype 2104 01:40:01,840 --> 01:40:04,000 leaderboard now. We're getting up. 2105 01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:07,840 I mean, I'm seeing some vids and they're getting like 40K50K 2106 01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:11,600 pretty soon after we drop them. So appreciate the likes, 2107 01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:15,480 appreciate the hypes. You know, drop your drop your 2108 01:40:15,480 --> 01:40:17,800 height budget on this video if you've got it. 2109 01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:21,840 And I mean it's funny that they kind of keep you at just like 2110 01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:25,360 you have 3000 height points per week that you can use and it 2111 01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:26,560 resets. It's like you got your. 2112 01:40:26,560 --> 01:40:29,320 Little is that what it is? It's 3000 for the whole week. 2113 01:40:29,960 --> 01:40:33,640 Yes, and then you dole them out in increments of 1000. 2114 01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:35,560 Oh, now could you do this though? 2115 01:40:35,560 --> 01:40:38,760 Can somebody give me 2000 and some gamer that they love 1000? 2116 01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:40,680 Like can you? Can you split it exactly 2117 01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:42,720 exactly? So you could toss 2 to one 2118 01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:47,480 person one to another, but I think on YouTube's base like no 2119 01:40:47,480 --> 01:40:51,160 premium it's 3000 per week. Yeah, and listen, those gamers 2120 01:40:51,160 --> 01:40:52,680 with a million Subs don't need it. 2121 01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:54,280 We do so. So screw those. 2122 01:40:55,200 --> 01:40:56,960 They've already got it.
