0:09
I feel like I'm sliding. Little Beyoncé.

You're listening to the final show of the year of Jabba in the

0:38
Fishman on the board. Mr. Tommy poops outside looking
0:43
in. Mr. NR Hour himself, Nith, and
0:46

Mondays and Thursdays now at 7:30 PM.
1:08
All you have to do to tune in to check out our local listings for
1:10
all our shows is go to our website at
1:13
www.worldwidesportsradio.com. I want to say something and I
1:18
want to get into the Jabba rules in just one second.
1:21
I want to say something for all the fans out there that have
1:24
been in tuned with all the craziness on this show.
1:28
The reason why we are the way we are is we want people to
1:31
understand that we're normal guys.
1:34
Normal guys sitting around in a round table having a
1:36
conversation and giving you our takes in sports.
1:40
Problem is with this media in this world, I think about it all
1:44
the time because it became more political and this is not
1:51
something that you need to get into politics with.
1:54
You give your take, you have a little fun with it, you add a
1:56
spin to it and you have fun with it.
1:58
I think it's become political and politically sound.
2:01
A lot of people have lost their jobs in this industry and a lot
2:03
of people aren't getting opportunities in this industry
2:06
because there's too many politics in it.
2:08
And we're going into 2026 for all the executives, media
2:13
people, conglomerates, people that listen to tune in.
2:16
And if you are a director in production in this business, you
2:21
have to understand that this business is wide open and
2:24
there's so much talent out there.
2:26
And you got to give the opportunity for people to be
2:29
heard. And if you don't, well, just
2:31
look at us, look at where we're ranked.
2:33
We were ranked at one point this year this week at 1:17.
2:38
And we're not on a major network.
2:40
We're not, we're not getting the support, you know, the marketing
2:43
comes from pockets, you know, and so just think about that
2:48
and, and where the industry is going and, and stop being caught
2:52
into this garbage that you're putting out there because they
2:55
have a following or they have something out there that you
2:58
think they're selling and you're paying these guys and you're
3:01
taking away jobs from people that are supporting families
3:04
that need the money and are open to doing whatever it takes to
3:08
keep their job. So I, I was thinking about that.
3:11
I wanted to give that and my take to 2026 and that was really
3:14
take to it. And I hope everybody that is
3:17
listening and that understands me and understands the way this
3:20
industry is that there's so much talent out there and we're one
3:23
of them and we're coming. And you can either stand there
3:28
and give us an opportunity to get the hell out of the way
3:30
because we're going to run right through you.
3:32
So and that's all I'm going to say.
3:34
All right, We call this drop of rules.
3:44
All right, Jobby, what do we got tonight?
3:48
Well, that was, that was a good segue.
3:51
We end the year and we all make New Year's resolutions, right?
3:56
And 1 rules that, that, that I live by every day.
4:01
And I challenge every single one of you listening.
4:04
I challenge every single one of you that has become part of my
4:07
family to tell everybody you love them every day.
4:14
And we know it's simple. We know it's easy.
4:18
And as much as sometimes our family pisses us off or makes us
4:23
mad, time is precious and I need to do a better job of it.
4:31
I know I need to. And it's one thing when you talk
4:36
about rules and you talk about certain things, and that is a
4:41
rule that is is going to be on my mirror every morning when I
4:44
look myself in the mirror is make sure you tell the ones
4:49
around you, you love them every day because you don't know when
4:56
things are going to change and you're not going to have that
4:59
opportunity. And so from my heart to every
5:02
single one of you guys, I love you, I appreciate you, and I
5:08
thank you and make sure that you do the same to yours and your
5:13
family all. Set all right.
5:17
Goody has no woody. As we all know, but I I agree
5:21
with you by the way, he's at Raw right now.
5:25
Wherever he is, it seems like he's somewhere in Tampa,
5:29
Orlando, but he's at a wrestling event.
5:31
So he's looking like he's having fun.
5:34
But I really appreciate, we really appreciate him popping in
5:37
and wanting to hear our A Rod take because he was waiting.
5:40
Good, he's going to be ready to submit some of his conspiracy
5:42
theories for the Jumbotron. I'm sure Anyway, so our next
5:45
segment is NBA Roundtable. Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing, Bing,
5:50
Bing. I have no word.
5:54
All right, all. Right guys, here we are, the NBA
5:59
Roundtable. You hear the music, we're going
6:02
to go through some quick NBA stories catching us up around
6:06
mid season. I don't know if you caught it,
6:08
it was a game a few days ago. Nicole Jokic put up a ridiculous
6:13
5616 and 15 in overtime win against Minnesota.
6:19
Anthony Edwards at 44 points and was ejected in overtime arguing
6:25
with officials. It did not matter.
6:28
They did make a comeback. Jokic just dominated the extra
6:31
frame. Just unbelievable guys right
6:35
now, this year Yokich and let's get that music a little bit
6:38
lower. The Yokich guys is, and I had
6:43
the stats up a second ago. Here they are 29, nine points
6:47
per game, 12/4 rebounds per game, 11/1 assists per game.
6:53
That's better rebounds per game than Karl Malone's career best,
6:58
better assist per game than Jason Kidd's career best, and .1
7:04
away from 30 points per game. I think maybe he's the MVP.
7:11
What do you think? He was the MVPMVP last year.
7:14
They and listen, I'm not going to take shots at Alexander.
7:18
I like them, but Joker, if, if there's anybody, everybody wants
7:22
to see who the next Michael Jordan is.
7:24
LeBron thinks he's better than Michael Jordan the way this
7:28
trajectory is going. And though, if he plays like
7:30
this for another 5 to seven years, he doesn't need to win
7:35
six titles. If this man wins three titles
7:38
and he's putting up these numbers, I wouldn't say he's
7:40
Michael Jordan, but I would think that he's the second
7:43
greatest basketball player of all time.
7:45
I, I, I don't think there's any comparable player I can remember
7:49
that I could say that I can compare him to.
7:52
I mean, the guy, just like Michael Jordan, Kobe is trying
7:55
to, you're trying to compare him.
7:57
People are going to want to try to be the next Yokich and
8:00
there'll be somebody coming up or growing, growing into their
8:03
body, wanting to be the next Yoker Joker, just like everybody
8:07
wanted to be the next Michael Jordan.
8:10
So I, I, I think this is unbelievable.
8:12
MVP. He should have been the MVP last
8:14
year. He should be just like Michael
8:16
Jordan should be the MVP every single year, 10 years in a row,
8:19
just like LeBron James in a, in a time span where he should have
8:23
been eight times in a row. The MVP.
8:25
Yeah, I. Was going to say LeBron is the
8:27
comparison here because I think you look at the efficiency
8:29
rankings he's had throughout his career, but these are Jokic.
8:32
Isn't that what he's done this decade, especially his
8:34
efficiency rankings We've never seen before.
8:36
And we talk about like people were running to shoot the three
8:38
for Seth Curry. Well, big men are going to have
8:40
to learn how to pass and learn how to space the floor because
8:43
of this guy because he's changed the game like as a a four or
8:46
five that could just make point guard like passes.
8:49
And you talk about on the phone with me yesterday, Errol, we've
8:51
never seen a player like him. Like, yeah, he might not be the
8:54
most amazing defender, but he's still a high effort, good
8:56
defender and his vision on the court and his ability just shoot
8:59
and pass the ball from anywhere so that we've never seen before.
9:02
And he could definitely go down as well the top five players
9:04
ever if he stays healthy. I I think too, like you guys go
9:08
analytical and efficiency and all the other stuff.
9:12
He makes us slow fat kids feel like we can be special.
9:17
Like when you, when you watch it, you it and it's, it's quiet
9:21
like because it's not flashy. You don't see like the three 60s
9:26
and all this craziness and whatever like.
9:28
Jabba, Jeff, Jeff, Call him the greatest dad bod in sports. 100%
9:33
love him. I love everything about it and I
9:37
think for me, it's just when when you're so gifted and so
9:40
talented, it's like we look at great passers.
9:43
As you know, John Stockton, he brought up Carl Malone and in
9:46
that in that context, but he had to receive a pass from somebody.
9:50
But this dude does it all like it.
9:53
It's so fun to see because it really is kind of boring.
9:58
But I'm like damn, that could that that's me and pick a.
10:02
Ball at the Y. Not nearly as good, but I'm
10:07
like, that's that's what I feel like that that and I can relate.
10:11
That's my dude. And he goes about his business
10:13
and doesn't like realistically, I know he cares because he's
10:19
Uber talented, but I don't think he genuinely cares because
10:25
that's why he's so good, because he knows he is.
10:29
But he gives us all like, sports fans and like, oh, he doesn't
10:35
look like that. Like, yeah, he's tall, right?
10:37
We see a lot of tall people. But you see him and you're like,
10:40
oh, Yum, Yum, dude. Is it MVP?
10:45
One of the best players in the world?
10:46
You're like, I got a chance. I got a chance.
10:51
Is. That you're.
10:53
Not to see too bad he went down with a knee tonight.
10:56
Just went in the first half. I don't think he came back, so
11:01
we'll see how that goes. The next story we have, because
11:04
the West is loaded, we have to talk about the San Antonio Spurs
11:10
and the Oklahoma City Thunder because Oklahoma City only has
11:13
five losses on the entire season.
11:15
They're killing everyone in the league except for San Antonio,
11:20
who they have lost all three games to, including the semi
11:24
finals, the NBA Cup. When Wendy came back from the
11:26
calf injury that he missed a month with and he only played
11:30
like 22 minutes. I think he had 21 points and 22
11:32
minutes. But it wasn't just Wendy.
11:35
They are loaded up and down that roster.
11:38
Dylan Harper, I mean, it's going to be hard to beat him.
11:42
I think in any other year that Cooper flag is not a rookie.
11:47
He would be a rookie of the year and I think he would have been
11:49
first pick in many other drafts as well.
11:52
He's he's playing like it. That is a pretty good year to
11:55
get second pick. Dylan Harper's really good and
11:57
Castle was rookie of the year last year and he's been
11:59
excellent. The story again in these games
12:02
against Oklahoma City, Arrow, Spurs defense and it shouldn't
12:06
surprise you. OK C is a jump shooting team.
12:09
What beats jump shooting? Teams getting in those guys
12:12
faces and not letting them have to be able to shoot at that
12:14
percentage? They're shooting less than 40%
12:17
against the Spurs and their three losses since this year.
12:20
I'm going to be very quick on this.
12:22
It's the regular season. Wait until the playoffs come
12:26
around before we could even go back and forth.
12:28
I don't care if they're three and O.
12:30
There could be 4 and O. Playoffs are different.
12:32
Playoff basketball is different and this team has been there and
12:36
this team has done it, so I don't care.
12:38
Doesn't really matter. It's amazing.
12:40
Good for them. The Knicks beat them for the
12:42
Cups, so it doesn't really matter.
12:44
I don't care. Yeah, I got to say, it's still a
12:45
young coach that's going to have to make that adjustment in the
12:47
playoffs if OKC counters back with using their size because
12:50
yeah, they're a jump shooting team fish, but they still have
12:52
good big men that could do a lot of different things too.
12:54
So that'll be up to them to make the adjustment in the playoffs
12:56
because you can only game plan the same way and don't go so
12:58
far. I think Wendy just playing 25
13:00
minutes or whatever. But Errol, you brought up
13:03
something and we'll move on after this.
13:05
But I had a buddy who played at Nebraska, then he went to
13:11
Delaware, but he played in the Big 12.
13:13
Like with Durant when Blake Griffin and all those guys.
13:16
He goes in the regular season. And I'm just trying to give
13:19
perspective. Exactly what Errol said, talking
13:22
about regular season versus playoffs.
13:23
He goes in the regular season. He's 69 with a 38 inch vertical.
13:28
Like the dude was a great player.
13:30
He goes in the regular season, I could do something.
13:33
He goes in the playoffs, I don't stand a chance and it's
13:36
different. So like you said, once he gets
13:38
the playoffs, he would have. All right, I I think it's real
13:43
interesting to see what can possibly beat this OKC team.
13:47
And I guess you need a 7 foot 5 center that can also dribble
13:52
between his legs and shoot threes and do.
13:55
And you think he has a huge wrench?
13:58
I I don't know if I want to have this conversation I'm trying.
14:01
Why? Why Job?
14:03
But do you want him? Do you want?
14:04
To jerk me off. Do you want to jerk him off?
14:07
No, I don't want to, but it's like you're 75, you got to have
14:10
a huge wrench. You can't have a small one.
14:13
I would imagine he's proportionate for his size, and
14:17
he would have to be. On to the next.
14:20
Let's go. All right, for anatomically,
14:23
anatomically correct stuff here. All right, the next one I want
14:27
to talk about is another W team, because we've talked about the
14:31
Nuggets a little bit with Djokic.
14:34
We've talked now about the top two teams, the Spurs and the
14:37
Thunder. Spurs actually lost tonight.
14:39
Thunder 1. the Rockets are real interesting.
14:42
They're sitting there 19 and 10, just like a bunch of other teams
14:45
right in the mix with the Lakers.
14:48
But this team is new. This team has Kevin Durant on it
14:51
now for the first year. He's the veteran presence that
14:54
they needed. Alperin Sangoon is a star at
14:57
center. Jabari Smith, junior, He's an
15:00
excellent player. Amen Thompson is like the young
15:03
version of OGN and Obi with maybe more offense.
15:08
This is a pretty loaded and your boy Reed Shepherd from Kentucky
15:12
is coming to his own. He bounces.
15:14
They've had to send them down, I believe to the G League speedy
15:17
and he came back with a vengeance.
15:20
He is killing it this year. He's what they were hoping he
15:23
would be. That's a good team and that's a
15:27
loaded West. But Durant's not getting any
15:30
younger. They're trying to win now.
15:31
They may still want to try to add a piece if they are going to
15:35
go for it in this loaded Western Conference, don't you think?
15:38
I think the Rockets are going to be very, very good.
15:40
I know Jamie Lee is a big fan of the Houston Rockets.
15:44
I like Kevin Durant. Kevin Durant has to stay
15:46
healthy. That's really the secret.
15:47
And and the and the guy that you have to watch, I'm telling you
15:51
out of all these guys seeking is he's a good player.
15:54
Thompson, that kid could be a game changer.
15:57
I watched him and his brother develop and there was a lot of
15:59
question who were the bet who was the better Thompson?
16:02
This kid is the better Thompson and this guy is slowly but
16:05
surely developing into the star and they got a great coach as
16:08
long as he keeps his hands to himself.
16:10
So I, we knew this was going to happen.
16:12
I, I don't think there's any questions that question that
16:16
they were missing that superstar leader and they got in Kevin
16:19
Durant. Kevin Durant has to stay healthy
16:20
and he needs to show up in the playoffs.
16:22
That's it. Yeah, Shepherd is a big
16:24
difference. You mentioned Fish Tar Eason,
16:25
who I think Jarrett mentioned last week or something like that
16:27
has been a good factor to them too.
16:29
I'm curious if they do make a move too because Thunder has
16:31
that top ten pick looming and they have a lot of other picks
16:33
that can make something worth to get a second star to go on with
16:36
Singoon and Thompson. I like it.
16:38
I want Dirk melons. I think you're 100% right where
16:41
it's winning breeds confidence. Winning brings character,
16:45
winning brings an attitude and getting that guy, I think it's
16:49
going to help those younger guys and know and and how he's won
16:54
and been around great players and how he now is the old head
16:58
where he can, you know, kind of build and shape and and have
17:02
that mentality that that's going to wear off on them.
17:05
And I think it they could get interest.
17:07
All right, let's, let's take a second and get out of the West
17:11
and really just ask the most important question.
17:14
Are the Knicks the best team in the Eastern Conference?
17:17
It's right now they're a game behind the Detroit Pistons for
17:21
best in the East at 23 and 9. The Pistons for 24 and eight had
17:26
that really hot start. But the Knicks, Pistons have
17:29
lost their last two. I think it's only a matter of
17:30
time before the Knicks take over.
17:32
They're sitting in 3rd surprisingly.
17:35
Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors in fourth.
17:39
That's real surprising. Then you have Orlando and Miami
17:42
at 5:00 and 6:00. Philadelphia has woken up behind
17:45
Maxi at 7. The Cavs, not the same as last
17:49
year. They're barely over 500.
17:51
The Bulls, Hawks and the Bucks are actually sitting out of a a
17:55
playing spot right now. They've been that bad.
17:57
So with that being the, the, the roster that you're dealing with,
18:02
is this the Knicks conference to lose this year?
18:06
100%, I've been saying it. They have the most depth.
18:10
Kolek is is looking like he's going to be forced to be
18:13
reckoned with. The Knicks are going to have to
18:15
figure out when they're going to sign him and how they're going
18:16
to sign him. I mean, he a lot of teams are
18:19
going to be watching him and and looking at him.
18:21
I don't think the Knicks make a move unless they need to, unless
18:24
they're using Kolek as a chip to go after Giannis.
18:27
He could be a piece that they can move now because they're
18:30
looking for a future point guard to run that offense.
18:33
Besides that, yeah, 100% this is the Knicks conference to lose.
18:39
I I don't think there's any team even close to it.
18:41
The Knicks have the most depth they've ever had I think I've
18:45
ever seen as as as a Knick fan. Even the 94 Knicks with the team
18:49
and the players they had. I I think this is the best Knick
18:51
team we've seen in a very long time.
18:53
The. Deepest and most versatile team
18:54
in the Eastern Conference. The deepest and most versatile
18:56
Knicks team we've ever seen. Like you said, they're only
18:57
going to trade Kolick and some of these other young kids if it
19:00
is Giannis at this point. I mean, think about this.
19:03
I mean, he is a piece now you can move to get Giannis if you
19:06
want him because he do absolutely could be a starting
19:09
point guard in his league. You trade I I honestly think you
19:12
sign him and you move on from and you trade.
19:15
What's his name again? The kid from McBride.
19:18
McBride. I would trade McBride and you
19:21
can use him as a trade. Jeff Kolick is a.
19:23
Future I wonder too I've some of the stuff I've been saying is
19:26
they might not even have to trade Robinson anymore either
19:27
too, which they could trade the kid they signed from the Sixers
19:30
as well the big man. Oh yeah, it was Sully.
19:32
Yeah, probably right. No, I just, I think the depth
19:37
and everything. But depth is one thing, but they
19:40
have like every facet of the game to succeed so that I
19:44
believe like you have a scorer, you have a leader, you have a
19:47
guy in Robinson and get bound like knows his game.
19:50
Like you have all the pieces to the puzzle that I think there
19:55
was a few lacking at some points.
19:58
But yeah, you have everything and it's and it's theirs to
20:00
lose. They just they just have to have
20:03
that mentality. And I don't I don't know.
20:05
That's the one scary thing. I don't know if they have that
20:07
mentality because they they haven't won and been at that
20:10
pinnacle. But they have every piece of the
20:12
funnel. I'll just say this, it's a lot
20:15
more fun watching Jordan Clarkson get minutes that can't
20:18
then campaign last. I'm just, I'm just going to
20:22
throw it out there. I think that's an upgrade.
20:24
Clarkson, you still shoot. Clarkson's really good, he's
20:27
streaky but and leaves a little bit to desire on defense, but
20:31
I'll say this, they're a lot better.
20:33
I'm so pumped for the second-half of the season.
20:35
One last topic, Errol, that's all about the Lakers.
20:40
Lakers, and I believe, let's take a look at it right now,
20:43
updated standings. They are 4th at 20 and 10, tied
20:47
with the Rockets for 4th in the Western Conference.
20:51
Obviously, LeBron missed a lot of games.
20:53
He's averaging his worst numbers since he was a rookie.
20:56
He's about 20 points, about 6:00 and 5:00.
20:59
He's like 26 and five, which is pretty good, which is pretty
21:02
good for a guy who's 41 years old, which is just absurd.
21:06
Austin Reeves and obviously Luka Doncic have been kind of
21:10
carrying the load offensively in his absence, and now with him
21:14
it's a real fascinating team. You assume they're going to add
21:17
pieces. Rui Hatchimura's had a good
21:19
season for them. He's been a nice player.
21:21
Bounce. Been with them for a while at
21:24
forward position, half Japanese if I'm not mistaken.
21:29
But besides that, they picked up DeAndre Aiden off the scrap heap
21:32
and turned him back into a halfway decent player.
21:36
But I just don't know if they can compete really in this
21:39
Western Conference. And you would assume that
21:42
Lebron's going for it this year. This is his last chance for a
21:45
championship. They're it's false gold.
21:50
They're not getting honest. For all you Laker fans out
21:52
there, unless the Milwaukee Bucks are in cahoots with the
21:56
Lakers and they're going to just hand them over to the Lakers,
21:59
which we've seen before. You did say it's the LGA, right?
22:02
Yes, it is. It's Doc Rivers, a mole in the
22:03
LGA. Unless there's that happens and
22:06
it could that that's the only way they win and they compete,
22:09
there's no way it's fool's. Gold yeah, you mentioned fish
22:12
you mentioned some of the depth pieces over performing I just
22:13
don't know if there's enough high upside young players
22:15
outside of eight and really to get that kind of thing to work.
22:17
Reeves is doing well in a larger sample, but I think being in the
22:20
West, I'm. Not going to be able to sign.
22:21
Yeah, being in the West, there's still 5 or six in the West.
22:24
Right now, Reeves is going to earn himself $200 million next
22:27
year, yeah. They're not going to be able.
22:29
He won't get a, he'll get a Max. He won't get a super Max.
22:31
No, but he's he's not going. To get a good deal.
22:33
He's going to get a nice deal. He's going to get $200 million,
22:36
yeah. He's not good for him, Yeah.
22:39
Could my name be Austin Reeves? Should be, should be 9.
22:44
He played for Oklahoma. You get you're not allowed to
22:46
like him. I still have eligibility.
22:49
We're fine. Oh, OK.
22:51
Right. Oh, there we go.
22:52
There we go, the NBA round table.
22:56
I, I, I am tired. I'm tired of listening to about
22:59
the Lakers, honestly. Finally the Knicks have
23:02
something to talk about and we don't have to talk about this
23:04
garbage Laker organization honestly.
23:07
Anyways, let's go to we haven't played this in a while.
23:11
Sound it out. They roll here.
23:12
Jay Quellen. Where's Jay Quellen at?
23:14
No, Jay Quellen here. Do you mean Jacqueline?
23:17
Let's sound it out. What you call me?
23:19
Sound it. Out.
23:21
How wonderful. Oh man, we are back with Sound
23:26
It Out everyone's favorite game. He's going to have to figure out
23:32
three names that he's probably going to butcher.
23:35
He's got. I don't know, Errol, what do you
23:36
think your batting averages on this?
23:37
About 2:50? You think you hit 2?
23:39
5280, 280. 282 All right, that's a little generous.
23:43
I'm going to say it's probably closer to the Mendoza Line, but
23:47
phonics, Shamonics, we're going to believe the man.
23:49
Errol's got it. Are you ready to play?
23:51
Sound it? Out.
23:53
No, I'm not, but I'm sure you're going to throw it out me, so
23:55
let's go. Oh, I am.
23:56
Here it is. We're starting this year with
23:59
the with all of these guys are breakout NFL players this year.
24:04
Here he is number 25 on the Bears.
24:08
Sound it out Kyle manon gay OH. Man, I can't give it to you and
24:18
I forgot I'm supposed to buzzer you when you're wrong in this.
24:20
Game that's not right. It's not moron gay.
24:24
I said manon gay, Manon gay. It's Manon.
24:27
Guy. Whatever.
24:30
I thought you were going to get that one.
24:32
Oh well. Oh for one, put the music back
24:35
on. Let the good times roll.
24:37
Here we go, the second one on the list.
24:41
Here he is. What's his name?
24:46
Sounded out 13 1/2 sacks from this gentleman.
24:51
Thule. Oh, wait, hold on, hold on.
24:55
Can't let you see it. I screwed up.
24:58
Here we go. Add it back to the stage.
25:00
No harm, no foul. What do you got?
25:02
Tuli pilato tu pilato tu pilato, yeah.
25:12
Tuli tuli Paluto almost oh for two, but you got one left.
25:21
Get the music back on Errol. Here it comes time to take a
25:28
look at this guy. He's leading.
25:30
All rookies, all time. I want to hit.
25:33
It all-purpose Yards broke that record this year.
25:37
Here he is sounded out. Don't get us cancelled.
25:42
Shamir Dyke. Don't worry Java, what you were
25:47
thinking wasn't the answer either.
25:53
No, you were thinking of Glory, Shimmer, Ray, DK.
25:58
That's Chimeray. DK.
26:00
But did you just? Put a duck filter on.
26:04
The one per melons. All right, there you go.
26:08
Errol O for three today on sounded out.
26:12
We'll bring this game back, maybe at the end of, I don't
26:14
know, basketball season. Wonderful.
26:17
It's been a great year. It's been a full year with Jabba
26:20
Chamberlain, it's been a full year with Fish.
26:23
It's been a full year with all of you guys.
26:25
It's been a great one. The factor where we are and
26:29
where we're going to be next year could be special.
26:32
I, I couldn't have done it without any of you guys.
26:36
I again, specifically the work that gets put on on put in on
26:41
the back end is, is amazing and I appreciate everybody's hard
26:46
work and dedication. I, I have a lot of love for
26:49
everybody, all the fans out there listening to us and TuneIn
26:52
and download and look out for the craziness that could come
26:56
about this show. We appreciate you guys and I
27:00
guess I'm going to speak for, I guess unless Java wants to speak
27:04
to for for the fans. I I appreciate everybody that
27:09
puts the work into this show. So.
27:11
Yeah, I mean, I don't. I don't know if words can
27:14
express. You guys have literally, I
27:18
thought I was a sports fan. I wasn't and you guys have
27:21
opened my eyes to so many things and where I pay attention to so
27:25
many things different because I don't want to sound like a
27:28
Jackass. And you guys have just like
27:31
opened me up where I look at sports so differently and it's
27:36
made me look at life differently and, you know, just embodying
27:41
what sports can do for all of us and not only opening us up to
27:49
different perspectives and different thoughts and views,
27:52
but opening us up as people. And I think that's the greatest
27:55
thing about sports. And I think that's the greatest
27:57
thing about this show. Cuz you don't ever know what
27:59
you're gonna get. And it's been awesome.
28:02
It's been frustrating at times. It definitely has.
28:05
I love you guys, but it has been and you know, we crawl before we
28:10
walk and it's just been it. It's going to be a fun journey.
28:15
And I know it's frustrating sometimes for, for all of us in,
28:19
in different ways, but I'm so grateful to have these moments
28:25
and, and where I can, I can share my thoughts and I can be
28:29
me. And, and you guys don't judge me
28:32
and our fans don't because I love them because they're the
28:37
reason why we do this. We love sports, but we love
28:41
giving a different perspective and maybe a different thought or
28:44
a different view. So man, I hope it's been a fun
28:49
year. I think we've learned a lot from
28:51
each other and I, I truly, genuinely appreciate that.
28:55
And it's been a tough year for everybody.
28:57
Like, I mean, that's, that's life though.
28:59
But what we look forward to is, is the things that lie ahead and
29:04
just very fortunate to be in this opportunity and and do
29:09
these things with you guys. So I appreciate first and
29:12
foremost, because I know time is precious and I appreciate your
29:16
guys's time. And more importantly, I
29:18
appreciate you use the effort and the fact that you care about
29:22
what we're doing and just thank you guys so much.
29:25
I mean, there's, there's not much more I can say.
29:27
I want to, before I let everybody go and I want to thank
29:31
everybody on Apple and Spotify that TuneIn and download and
29:37
write all these crazy things on all the Reddit fans that say the
29:44
the most derogatory funny things I've ever seen in my entire
29:47
life. And on Instagram and TikTok and
29:52
Facebook. And all the fans, Jabba the
29:54
mouth fans in worldwide sports radio network fans out there and
29:58
all the guys that do their shows, you know, from, you know,
30:02
Josh Silverberg and his father and Eric and and then Snowman.
30:06
Thank you to them for really putting out a good product.
30:09
And, and like I said, next year is a week away or less than a
30:15
week away, actually a couple days away.
30:18
And I'm going to say one thing to all the fans and all the
30:21
people out there and all the podcasts out there, watch out.
30:25
That's all I'm going to say. You can take it whatever way you
30:29
want, watch the F out. That's it anyways.
30:34
I'm just going to give you 2 lines, Errol, that no one has
30:36
got a more original show than what we do here.
30:40
Everyone's got sports takes, but no one has the creativity.
30:43
People are stealing segments from us that we see on the big
30:46
shows. 100% that I know that I came up with with you on the
30:50
phone, Errol. You know, so I'm real proud of
30:54
kind of being a trendsetter industry that seems to be a lot
30:57
of the same lost. Absolutely.
31:00
Lost. You're absolutely right.
31:01
Fish lost. And that's what you're seeing
31:04
right now with a yeah WFAN. And they're firing people and
31:08
letting people go. And Trinity Sports is gone and
31:11
everything is flopping around and they're trying to figure out
31:14
what to do next. Here's what you do.
31:16
Watch out and look at the the talent that's out there and
31:20
realize that there is talent right in front of your faces.
31:23
Open up your checkbooks and get ready because you're going to be
31:27
paying. That's all I'm going to say.
31:28
You're going to be paying because you had, you had this
31:32
sitting for such a long time and you're going to be paying.
31:36
That's all I'm going to say. That's it.
31:37
I, I had to add that because I'm just disgusted with the garbage
31:42
that I've seen on television and radio over the last couple of
31:45
years and it makes me sick to my stomach.
31:47
Anyways, I'm going to let you guys say your final goodbyes for
31:51
the new year. Tommy, you first.
31:54
Yeah, you guys. Pretty much said a lot of it,
31:56
you know, we've been putting a lot of work and especially
31:59
thanks to you guys, you know, I don't think any of us can do
32:01
ones job without the other. So I really do appreciate, you
32:04
know, all the hard work that you guys put into the show.
32:06
You know, I really appreciate you guys, you know, being
32:09
welcomed in every to every week. It's fish and speedy just.
32:11
So, you know, of course, yeah, Fish and Speedy, you know, you
32:13
guys. Are awesome Jabba and arrow you
32:15
know you guys being the on air talents of course you know you
32:18
guys doing what you guys do you know it's all appreciative of
32:21
course even Nathan shout out to the man Nathan is in here the PR
32:25
manager the man himself but you it's been a whole hell of a 365
32:31
days and looking forward. To another 3. 65 with y'all
32:35
Yeah, it's. I've definitely been
32:37
appreciative of all you guys are bringing me in eight years ago
32:40
and seeing all different people come and go with this network
32:43
too, but always supporting me and always helping me out with
32:46
everything on the on the show and throughout the network as
32:49
well. And all the guys that have been
32:50
coming and going on this show as well.
32:52
Fish, you brought a new new vibe since you joined the show back
32:55
in January of 2024 and you've done a lot of great things.
32:59
Tommy, you've been always a a social media guy, fun guy to
33:02
talk with offset a lot of the time, even before Jabba, you
33:05
came along and Jabba reaching out to you for the first time as
33:07
a guest. I reached out to a lot of
33:08
different Yankees and you first time you ever had you in the
33:10
show, you were a tremendous storyteller and and reached out
33:14
at the time with the Yankees playoffs.
33:16
And obviously we built something very nice and Nathan as well and
33:19
Nick Goody, Nathan with Goody that.
33:22
Shout out to. Goody.
33:23
Yeah, Goody. Goody the first time we.
33:24
Had him on the show. It was funny.
33:27
It was actually the first week we had Sylvester Williams on the
33:29
show last year too. It was also the same week we had
33:30
Goody on the same day and and Goody Goody.
33:33
I remember Goody because he came in 10 minutes early.
33:35
I never saw a guest come in that early ever.
33:37
And he was so fired up. He was so funny and always
33:40
brought that good vibes. And of course, Nathan is our PR
33:42
guy doing some great things. All this event planning, all
33:44
that stuff. Fantastic.
33:45
And shout out to all the fans, all the ones I've met in person,
33:47
all the ones I have it in person for supporting what we do here.
33:50
I don't want to say something else.
33:51
Before I go to Jaba Chamberlain, I didn't think this was going to
33:55
work. I didn't all right, I did.
33:57
I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't think it was going to
34:00
work, but it's been a fun ride and it's going to be a fun ride
34:04
in 2026 because I I feel like we've built a good, good vibe
34:10
and a good relationship. We have our differences at
34:12
everything that we do, but that's what partners usually do.
34:16
But I, I've grown to understand who you are as a person, not
34:20
just as an athlete that I followed as a kid and or like to
34:25
watch you throw a ball. I, I, I like throwing pitches at
34:28
you and I'm sure you like to throw jabs at me, but I, I feel
34:31
like we've built something and we're, we're building something
34:35
that could be something really, really special.
34:38
And I think fans, and I say this with with love and compassion,
34:43
if if it wasn't for the people that understand what we're
34:47
trying to do here, we wouldn't be here.
34:48
So thank you to all of you guys. Anyways, that's it.
34:53
Good night. Thank all of you.
34:54
Appreciate it well, 2026 here we.
34:56
Come the worldwide sports radio network, Radio Network.
