- 0:20Speaker 1: Very excited to talk to this guy John just Reremski JJ.
- 0:24Speaker 2: I'm gonna call him Jazz.
- 0:25Speaker 1: I think he has a podcast wherever you get your
- 0:27Speaker 1: podcast called New York, New York. Excited to talk to
- 0:30Speaker 1: this guy, big fan of his. What's going on? I
- 0:33Speaker 1: am jealous that you somehow avoided mikey A and I
- 0:37Speaker 1: both jealous. We looked at each other as you were
- 0:39Speaker 1: telling the story right before we started here about how
- 0:42Speaker 1: you didn't become a New York Jets fan.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Please share that story with us.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Well, you know, still Gott's First things first, it's a
- 0:49Speaker 3: pleasure to be on the show. Love what you guys do.
- 0:52Speaker 3: I wouldn't be so jealous, though, I wouldn't be so jealous.
- 0:55Speaker 3: So a little kid growing up in the nineties, my
- 0:58Speaker 3: dad is a casual sports fan. He's in the sports,
- 1:02Speaker 3: but he's not like the same level of lunatic that
- 1:04Speaker 3: you might be, that I might be, that your guys
- 1:07Speaker 3: might be. And he brought me to a Jet game.
- 1:10Speaker 3: I want to say, it was like the mid nineties.
- 1:12Speaker 3: This is like the Boomerasiason rich Ko Tie New York Jets.
- 1:16Speaker 3: I was just like, nah, this this does not look
- 1:19Speaker 3: sound feel like something I want to be involved in,
- 1:23Speaker 3: and like the Dolphins had the cool starter Jackets Dan Marino,
- 1:26Speaker 3: a's venta badass uniforms. Like if I decided to be
- 1:30Speaker 3: like a Steeler fan, or a Packer fan, or like
- 1:34Speaker 3: a Bronco fan, like the other teams that were really
- 1:36Speaker 3: good in the nineties, right, I could feel that jealousy.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Dolphins haven't won a playoff game, man, like twenty five years.
- 1:42Speaker 2: It sucks. Yeah, but you had Marino, so I mean.
- 1:46Speaker 3: Great, except they didn't want a super Bowl. They didn't
- 1:49Speaker 3: want a super Bowl. Wonderful.
- 1:51Speaker 4: J J You're dead. He might be the first person
- 1:53Speaker 4: I've ever heard described of as a casual Jets fan.
- 1:56Speaker 4: I don't think of casual when I think of the Jets.
- 1:59Speaker 5: Yeah, he's he's he's a rare breed like my dad.
- 2:03Speaker 3: Does not really fit the model of being a Jeff fan,
- 2:06Speaker 3: like my dad's in he's very studious, like you would
- 2:09Speaker 3: think everything about his personality would not lead him to
- 2:13Speaker 3: being a Jef fan. But he was a child of
- 2:15Speaker 3: the nineteen sixties. And if you were a child in
- 2:18Speaker 3: the nineteen sixties and Joe will and MS wearing the
- 2:20Speaker 3: first coats, and he's guaranteeing victory kind of pot committed.
- 2:25Speaker 2: So there's that.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Can you be casually miserable? Like is that a thing?
- 2:29Speaker 2: Like?
- 2:30Speaker 3: I think it's all mindset, right, it's all mindset, like
- 2:33Speaker 3: if you wish, yes, Like, let's put it this way,
- 2:38Speaker 3: those Stigott's. You're a man who have a multi interest, right,
- 2:41Speaker 3: Like did Jets make you miserable? And you think about
- 2:43Speaker 3: your kids? You go to the golf course or your work,
- 2:46Speaker 3: like you can escape it? I mean, and the good
- 2:49Speaker 3: news with the Jets at least over the last decade,
- 2:52Speaker 3: they have been so embarrassing and so for the most
- 2:55Speaker 3: part out of it in all of these years that
- 2:58Speaker 3: like come November, I mean, do you really give a shit?
- 3:01Speaker 3: Like they're two and eighty nine? Like the Rogers year
- 3:04Speaker 3: when he blet his achilles, that's peak misery.
- 3:07Speaker 2: Yep.
- 3:08Speaker 3: The year after, did you really get invested? I mean
- 3:11Speaker 3: this coaches fired, the team sucked, and you can check
- 3:14Speaker 3: out it's easy.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Yep. Taylor quit the Dolphins. I mean, you're right.
- 3:17Speaker 4: I quit the Jets.
- 3:20Speaker 2: And he quit the Dolphins when he came down here too, I.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Was gonna say, so you quit the Jets. You went
- 3:24Speaker 3: through that level of misery. Then you got welcomed into
- 3:27Speaker 3: my world when I get suckered in. And I love
- 3:29Speaker 3: McDaniel too, like he's rolling up the pants. They're scoring
- 3:32Speaker 3: a ton of points. They had all the speed like
- 3:35Speaker 3: I was in man, like this was my guy, and
- 3:39Speaker 3: they I still have not recovered from the Raven game
- 3:43Speaker 3: on New Year's Eve where I think Lamar Jackson threw
- 3:45Speaker 3: another touchdown pass. They score like sixty five points. Chubb
- 3:48Speaker 3: gets hurt, and it's the gods. I can't stand the Bills. See.
- 3:52Speaker 3: People ask me all the time, like, out of any
- 3:53Speaker 3: of the three teams in the NFC East, who do
- 3:56Speaker 3: you hate the most? It's not the Jets. People think
- 3:59Speaker 3: he's Patriots. No, Like the Patriots were just so good
- 4:04Speaker 3: that you kind of like blocked out the brilliance and
- 4:06Speaker 3: you're like, hey, it didn't matter. Like if you're in
- 4:08Speaker 3: the AFC and you're dealing with this team, they're just great.
- 4:11Speaker 3: I went to school in Syracuse. They're a ten zillion
- 4:14Speaker 3: Western New York counties. They the Bills, Dolphins, Dermott Thomas,
- 4:18Speaker 3: Jim Kelly, Dolphins never beat him. I hate the Buffalo Bills,
- 4:23Speaker 3: so like that's my only level and Josh Allen's awesome.
- 4:26Speaker 3: I wish he was my quarterback. He's a stud. But
- 4:29Speaker 3: that's like me, like you know, like the med fan
- 4:31Speaker 3: will take satisfaction whenever the Yankees get eliminated. That's kind
- 4:34Speaker 3: of been me with Buffalo at these last couple of januars.
- 4:37Speaker 3: At least I could have some fun when they go
- 4:40Speaker 3: and lose a bitter disaster of a playoff game.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Right, And the further they go and lose, the better
- 4:45Speaker 1: it is for you as a fan, or is a
- 4:46Speaker 1: fan rooting against them?
- 4:48Speaker 2: Right? Yes?
- 4:49Speaker 3: Yeah, And this year it was like I went with
- 4:51Speaker 3: the emotional hedge because they played Denver. I bet Buffalo.
- 4:55Speaker 3: So I said, Okay, I'm either gonna win money on
- 4:57Speaker 3: this game or I'm gonna be happy either way, which
- 5:00Speaker 3: is not normally the way I approach betting, Like I
- 5:03Speaker 3: bet decide like I'm not one of these I won't
- 5:06Speaker 3: bet against my team if I don't like them in
- 5:08Speaker 3: that particular game, I just won't bet the game. I'm
- 5:10Speaker 3: like I'm yesterday Yankees. I thought it was a rat line.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Didn't anticipate Tyron Taylor hitting a through run homer ninth
- 5:16Speaker 3: enning the tie the game. But like I'm going through it.
- 5:19Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I don't like the Yankees. I'm just
- 5:21Speaker 3: not gonna bet it. I'll just root. But if I
- 5:23Speaker 3: like my team, i'll bet them. I'm not one of
- 5:24Speaker 3: these people like if they're in the Knicks moving forward, Oh,
- 5:28Speaker 3: because I want to have an emotional headsheetter, I'm gonna
- 5:30Speaker 3: bet the Cavs. No, no, no, not about that.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Yeah. So jj I grew up a Jets fan. I
- 5:35Speaker 4: was miserable, like Stu Gotts, like mikey A. I played
- 5:38Speaker 4: football at North Carolina. My roommate there was Mac Collins,
- 5:41Speaker 4: And when Mack was about to get drafted as one
- 5:43Speaker 4: of my best friends, I was looking at it almost
- 5:46Speaker 4: as like my my Willy Wonka, my Golden ticket, my
- 5:48Speaker 4: get out of free jail card, where I was like, Mac,
- 5:51Speaker 4: whatever team you go to is gonna be my new
- 5:53Speaker 4: favorite team. And He's like, what if I get drafted
- 5:55Speaker 4: by the Jets, And I was like, that's just a
- 5:57Speaker 4: risk I'm gonna have to take. Right now. We won
- 6:00Speaker 4: the Super Bowl the first year with the Eagles, and
- 6:02Speaker 4: then I think I've been a fan of every AFC
- 6:05Speaker 4: East team since then besides the Jets.
- 6:08Speaker 3: So Matt Collins had a couple of years with Miami.
- 6:12Speaker 3: Those were not playoff years. I think it was Flores
- 6:15Speaker 3: so he I liked him. He had a good like
- 6:18Speaker 3: report with Tua. He was good in the red zone.
- 6:21Speaker 4: You get the Fitzpatrick face mask game against the Raiders too, Oh.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Dude, epic game, epic game, and that was that was
- 6:29Speaker 3: the game too. Flora's liked using the two quarterbacks like
- 6:33Speaker 3: like starters and relief pitchers, and like everyone around the
- 6:36Speaker 3: sport is like, what in God's name is this coach doing?
- 6:39Speaker 3: And it kind of it kind of worked, and I
- 6:41Speaker 3: was it sucks, man, I have to take such l's
- 6:45Speaker 3: on the tour stuff. It bothers me because I was
- 6:47Speaker 3: like so adamant that I wanted him to be the
- 6:50Speaker 3: Dolphin quarterback. I loved them at Alabama. I was like,
- 6:54Speaker 3: you got to take this guy. I don't care about
- 6:56Speaker 3: the injuries and five concussions later and then the hip
- 7:01Speaker 3: and then he can't move. Like last season was the
- 7:04Speaker 3: official end of like the tool love affair where I'm like, wow,
- 7:08Speaker 3: I just gotta I gotta take the l's on this.
- 7:10Speaker 3: So with Mac, now with the Patriots, Taylor, have you
- 7:13Speaker 3: adopted the Patriots or you just can't do that with
- 7:16Speaker 3: your Jet former Jet fandom.
- 7:18Speaker 4: Oh no, I ran the Jets over this season for
- 7:22Speaker 4: my Patriot fandom. I was going to Patriot playoff games,
- 7:25Speaker 4: taking pictures with playoff patter went to the Super Bowl.
- 7:28Speaker 3: Man, I mean, now, well, Taylor, will you do the
- 7:32Speaker 3: if you're hanging with Mac, will you walk around without
- 7:34Speaker 3: the shoes on?
- 7:36Speaker 4: No, that's a step too far even from guy.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Yes, fair enough.
- 7:41Speaker 1: So JJ, I'm wondering, how does someone whose father is
- 7:45Speaker 1: a casual sports fan becomes such a big sports fan.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great question. So he introduced me to it, right, Like,
- 7:52Speaker 3: I think I grew up like from a New York
- 7:55Speaker 3: sports perspective as a kid at like the perfect time.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Maybe not with the Jets and the Giants necessarily.
- 8:00Speaker 2: But you got the man, those are bad, yeah, hideous.
- 8:04Speaker 3: And the Giants were Dave Brown. That's why I didn't
- 8:06Speaker 3: get in on them, because they were an absolute boar.
- 8:09Speaker 3: But like the Yankees were the team. Man, Like I
- 8:11Speaker 3: started getting into it. It was like Don Mattingly, Paul O'Neil,
- 8:15Speaker 3: Bernie Williams. I remember being seven years old hysterically crying
- 8:20Speaker 3: when they lost game five of the Division Series when
- 8:22Speaker 3: Able Martinez hit the ball down the left field line.
- 8:24Speaker 3: That was like people asked me, like, what was the
- 8:26Speaker 3: most devastating sports moment for he was a fan, Like
- 8:28Speaker 3: I was inconsolable for like an hour because, like it was,
- 8:33Speaker 3: this was so new to me. I loved it so much.
- 8:35Speaker 3: I obsessed and like you had the Knicks with Ewing
- 8:38Speaker 3: and like those those were my two teams. I was
- 8:41Speaker 3: never really the biggest hockey guy. Like I was all
- 8:43Speaker 3: in Yankees, like they were my number one team as
- 8:45Speaker 3: a kid. Then when it was basketball season, it was
- 8:48Speaker 3: Nicks and I had this weird adaptation of Marino and
- 8:52Speaker 3: the Dolphins. But like I just was watching it. I
- 8:54Speaker 3: became obsessed with it, and I wanted to be like
- 8:58Speaker 3: the center field or the Yankees. But I think you
- 9:00Speaker 3: come to that realization when you're like ten or eleven,
- 9:02Speaker 3: like right, this shit ain't happening. So then you're like, Okay,
- 9:06Speaker 3: well what am I gonna do with the rest of
- 9:07Speaker 3: my life? And now I'm like you guys, you know,
- 9:09Speaker 3: I'll yell and scream about it and live and.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Die with it.
- 9:11Speaker 1: I'm interested here because we have two Nick fans, well
- 9:15Speaker 1: three Nick fans. If you want to include Mikey four
- 9:17Speaker 1: Nick fans on the line right now, I am a
- 9:19Speaker 1: little bit nervous because Nick fans are really cocky, They're
- 9:23Speaker 1: really confident. I hear Steven A and other people saying, Hey,
- 9:26Speaker 1: Nixon four, Nixon five. It never never goes that smoothly
- 9:31Speaker 1: for any New York team, certainly not the New York Knicks.
- 9:34Speaker 2: You guys are not I'm gonna start with Taylor.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Taylor, you were You are not expecting the Knicks to
- 9:38Speaker 1: win this series in four or five games?
- 9:40Speaker 2: Are you? Six?
- 9:42Speaker 4: If the Calves can make it interesting?
- 9:44Speaker 2: Five?
- 9:44Speaker 4: Most likely? This is? This is I think is gonna
- 9:48Speaker 4: be a quick series. I don't think the Calves have
- 9:49Speaker 4: anybody that can kind of match up with Jalen brunts.
- 9:52Speaker 4: And you think I'm afraid of Dean Wade.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Not what I wanted to hear. Mikey A, tell me
- 9:56Speaker 1: something I want to hear. I wanted to go seven games.
- 9:58Speaker 1: Tell me it's going to be closer than that.
- 10:00Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's at least six.
- 10:03Speaker 4: I think it's at least six.
- 10:04Speaker 2: I thought you were gonna say four because you're trying
- 10:05Speaker 2: to jinx us.
- 10:07Speaker 3: No, I would have said four win.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Okay, JJ, how do you feel about this series coming up?
- 10:12Speaker 3: Nick cav all Right, the city equivalent already hates me, guys,
- 10:15Speaker 3: because you know I do S and Y and they
- 10:17Speaker 3: put up the video of our prediction in the series.
- 10:20Speaker 5: I think the next thing gonna smoke him. I know
- 10:21Speaker 5: you don't want to hear.
- 10:22Speaker 2: That, Stu.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Guys, I think Cleveland is so soft though. Man, they
- 10:26Speaker 3: got the biggest playoff loser in the history of basketball
- 10:28Speaker 3: on their team at Harden. That's number one. Yes, Mitchell
- 10:32Speaker 3: all Right, he had a big game seven. He could
- 10:33Speaker 3: score the basketball. I know. It's the whole New York
- 10:36Speaker 3: angles that worked for the Mets forever. He doesn't play
- 10:39Speaker 3: a look at defense, and he's not exactly somebody that's
- 10:42Speaker 3: going and making their teammates better. And Guys, two years
- 10:45Speaker 3: ago they played Cleveland, those two bigs, Evan Mobley and
- 10:49Speaker 3: Jared Allen, they were spooked by Mitchell Robinson. They were like,
- 10:53Speaker 3: so afraid of Mitchell Robinson. Now you're throwing Karl Anthony
- 10:57Speaker 3: Towns and what he's bringing to the table. I've been
- 11:00Speaker 3: I'm dying for the possibility of playing the Cleveland Cavaliers
- 11:03Speaker 3: like they are more talented than Detroit. I'll be the
- 11:05Speaker 3: first to admit that. But Detroit was gonna be able
- 11:08Speaker 3: to bully Brunson. They were gonna get down and thirty
- 11:10Speaker 3: with you. They're gonna get physical. I don't think this
- 11:13Speaker 3: Cleveland team can do that. Like I get it's Stucotts,
- 11:16Speaker 3: it's the Knicks, yep, and you know the deal. When
- 11:19Speaker 3: they lose Game one at home in a playoff series,
- 11:22Speaker 3: they have never won that playoff series. So that's something
- 11:24Speaker 3: to keep an eye on as we get ready for
- 11:26Speaker 3: this Game one coming up on Tuesday night. But yeah,
- 11:29Speaker 3: I'm gonna add to the confidence. I don't think it's
- 11:30Speaker 3: a sweet Nixon five. I've already got it.
- 11:33Speaker 2: The gentleman sweep.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Jesus, the gentleman sweep. That's right.
- 11:37Speaker 2: You can only have won this year.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Nicks win a NBA Championship, the Yankees win the World Series,
- 11:43Speaker 1: the Dolphins win the Super Bowl?
- 11:45Speaker 2: Which one you want?
- 11:49Speaker 3: I'm rolling out the Yankees immediately, right, And it sounds
- 11:52Speaker 3: crazy because like baseball is my first love, but I've
- 11:55Speaker 3: seen five, Like I'm good. If they don't win again,
- 11:59Speaker 3: this will probably back to burn me. But I've already
- 12:01Speaker 3: seen the best of what the Yankees can be in
- 12:03Speaker 3: the late nineties, four out of five championships. Nothing's going
- 12:05Speaker 3: to top that. Okay, here's the difference. This is what
- 12:08Speaker 3: I got away the Knicks. I get to celebrate it
- 12:11Speaker 3: with all of you, like the people I live in
- 12:13Speaker 3: the neighborhood, with all of my buddies, Like it's this
- 12:17Speaker 3: great bonding experience.
- 12:18Speaker 2: It's the only team that unifies New York is the Knicks.
- 12:21Speaker 3: You're right, yeah, one thousand and that would be amazing.
- 12:25Speaker 3: The Dolphins, I would end up being this selfish jerk
- 12:28Speaker 3: because it's like my baby, Like no, you know, that's it,
- 12:31Speaker 3: Like it's my baby walking around New York. Everyone else
- 12:34Speaker 3: is like nobody cares, and I'm like, no, no, no,
- 12:36Speaker 3: this is all mine. This is all mine because I'm
- 12:39Speaker 3: a team player. Guys, Nick's winning a championship because I
- 12:42Speaker 3: want to be at that parade. That parade will be
- 12:44Speaker 3: the most insane experience maybe in New York in like
- 12:46Speaker 3: fifty years.
- 12:46Speaker 2: Right.
- 12:47Speaker 1: And plus, you saw Malik Willis's first pitch at Marlin's Park.
- 12:50Speaker 1: You know the Dolphins have no shot at winning a
- 12:51Speaker 1: Super Bowl so well this.
- 12:52Speaker 3: Year, yes, but you know, listen, I've seen some bed
- 12:56Speaker 3: first pitches from quarterbacks, so you know, let's let's not
- 12:59Speaker 3: will that will that evil into existence. I want to
- 13:02Speaker 3: buy into Jersey guys, to God's come on, man, I
- 13:05Speaker 3: want to find I'm like a sucker. I'm like, please
