Referral Wednesday and a Birthday Thank You 10/21/26 · OneLegUpAlex Media

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Well, it is day one of 36 years of life.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Yesterday we turned 35, so basically that closed the book
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: on 35 years of living. Now we're into year 36.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: But being 35, I've modernized a lot of different things,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: including finally making this a resume booster. You know, For
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: 14 years, this has sort of been seen as a hobby.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say as a joke, but as
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: like something that may not sustain. Well, here we are,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: 14 years later, and because I've been recognized by the
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Digestive Disease National Coalition, United Ostomy Association, for full transparency,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: when I made that trip to D.C.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: In 2025, I did get a $ 750 stipend.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: So really, that was one of the first things that.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I saw that this show was giving value to people
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: and those with disabilities and adaptive stories and all that,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and adaptive athletes even. We'll get into that in a second. Then,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of course, being recognized by the IdeaSpark, the Disability Entrepreneurship Institute,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: thanks to the Viscardi Center, my alma mater, and Iona,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that grant really started to continue to show me that
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: this show would be recognized. Of course, the affiliate sponsorships
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: we've had over the years, and not to brag, but
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: making over $ 1, 000 for Fanatics has really shown that this
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: podcast can do something. Now, albeit, some of it is
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: because I would buy from Fanatics and get commission back,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: but so be it. We've been partners with Fanatics, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: that manifested itself this year as the first adaptive athlete,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: and the little monetary gift that came with that. Um,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: thanks to Justin Bieber. So this show has value. And
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I think it was time to really write it down
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and say, I am the founder of one leg up
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Alex media. It started as covering the bases with Alex Garrett,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: keep it real with Alex Garrett, uh, Alex Garrett podcasting
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: adapted with adapting with Alex and one leg up with
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Alex Garrett. Now it is, One leg up Alex Media.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: And there is an adaptive nature to that as well.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: How the name has changed. And now I'm just saying
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I founded this. I am the owner of this. And
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: maybe that will put it out there to gain more sponsorships.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: More opportunities. More possibilities to grow this show. And one
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: of those possibilities, Ryan Pagano, is top host. Do you
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: know right now I am sixth in my group in
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the top host running. I talked about this last week.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: But I'm announcing it today. We have a chance to
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: keep going. And your vote counts. Not once, but twice
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: for a limited time only. I mean, this ad alone
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: should get me on iHeartRadio's radar. But no, we are
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: full-fledged promoting this on my brands, AlexGNYC1, on my Facebook,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and now here at my podcast. Vote now. It counts twice.

  Speaker 2: thank you so much, Louis, for that, but for those

  Speaker 2: With that comes six podcast episodes with iHeartRadio Podcasts, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: of course, a hit with Ryan Seacrest, and a little
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: bit of a cash, you know, reward of $ 25, 000 to
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: really keep promoting one leg of Alex media. I mean, look,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: all of this would be incredible and I'm in the running. So,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: so vote right now. The vote is counted twice. So
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: that's how I'm starting year 35 is to say, keep
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: voting and maybe recognizing this and owning this as a
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: brand and We'll put that energy forward to keep growing
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: this thanks to being already seen by fanatics and being
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: seen by the Disability Entrepreneurship Institute and by UOAA and
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: the Digestive Disease National Coalition. And right here at 970,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, all the shows. Of course, Lucas Farrar always
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: promotes One Leg Up with Alex Garrett. And you got
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Arthur having me on as basically his sidekick along with Joni.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: over 6.15 to 7.15 nightly. So there's a lot going
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: on on the radio side. But yes, this is important.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: If you help me get to this, I will make
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: sure those six episodes are dedicated to adaptability stories, adaptive stories.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And if you want more information on that, let me
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: drop that link to the entire Adaptability with Alex Garrett
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: collection in the description below. But the promotions aren't done
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: there yet because I just found out today J.J. McCarthy
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: is QB1 for Sunday with the Giants, and for the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: first time, I was able to sell a Topps card.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I had mentioned this a while ago, that Topps was
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: bought out by Fanatics, and now I can sell Topps
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: cards in addition to all the jerseys, and I've got
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: a brand spanking new J.J. McCarthy in Giants thread card
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: that I want you to buy as well. That's in
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the description below. And then, of course, for my birthday tick-pick,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: giving me $ 10 credit, which is just so special. I mean,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: it couldn't help me get into the garden last night
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: because that was $ 10 minus off, you know, a $ 1, 900 ticket.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: But it was a nice gesture, and I'll be using
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: it in other games moving forward. But I want you
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to be part of that magic as well with TickPick.

  Speaker 2: here at One Look Up Alex Media, taking care of
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: some businesses, as we like to say. And so, yeah,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: join us wherever you find us on Spreaker, Spotify, iHeartRadio. Okay,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I have a podcast, iHeartRadio, but this would really elevate
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: the brand even more. That's why I'm in the running
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and why I wanted to get involved with the top
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: post space and maybe make waves there as well so
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: there you go and one last thing one last thing
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Aaron Boone another year as manager we knew this was
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: going to happen we all knew this was going to
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: happen and I don't know if I want to go
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: into the press conference with Hal and Brian Cashman and Boone,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: because I personally know all of them. And I almost
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: feel like Michael Kay in that regard. Like, you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: can you really criticize them since you know them, since
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you kind of have been part of that family forever?
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: But some of the responses today were kind of out there.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: And look, I think he ends up in a very
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: hot seat. His option's up at the end of next year.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: But What we've seen with the Phillies and the Red Sox,
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: not so much the Mets until it was too late
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: because they fired Mendoza like in June. But what we've
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: seen is these guys are always in the hot seat.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: So I would assume and presume that this guy, Aaron Boone,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: in his 10th season would be in the hottest seat possible.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: You know the media is going to be on him
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: from the very beginning of this year because a lot
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: of people didn't think he should come back, to be
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: very frank with you. And I know that, and we
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: all know that the Yankees love Aaron Boone just like
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: they love Brian Cashman. And I cannot complain about Cashman.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: He basically put the future right on the field this
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: year with Spencer Jones and Lombard. I mean, they were
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: in the postseason together. He basically engineered Anthony Volpe's return
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: back to the majors and said, we're going to put
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: him in second. I mean, that was a great call.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know who made that call. Maybe even Boone did,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: but you know. putting him at second and Lombard at
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: short was huge. I think it helped bring confidence back
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: to Volpe's bat. Of course, the fan interferences happen. It
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: is a tie ball game in that game three. That's
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: how confident I think he came back playing second. And
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: then the other aspect is Aaron Judge really getting in
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the ear of Yankee front office with the moves. Do
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I like that he's... Sort of narrating, dictating who should
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: be on the team. I think because he's making all
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: this money. I think because he's captain. I think because
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: he's been tired of losing like we all have. He
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: should have a say. But I hope he doesn't advise
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: him to bring back Jazz Chisholm. That is my main
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: concern right now. Because Jazz did not seem like he
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: fit in with the Yankees this year. It seemed like
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Volpe's spot to lose was second base. But it also
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: seems like if Judge likes you, they're going to keep you.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Like he likes and endorses Boone. He endorsed Boone in
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the first thing he did in the offseason. So Boone's
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: back for another year. That had to be what Judge
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: is doing. But the rift between front office and Aaron
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: needs to be healed before opening day 2027. And you wonder, Ryan,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and you wonder out there listening... how much involvement the
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Apollo group's going to have now that they basically own
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: a stake or more in this team. You know, you
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: bought the franchise because they're worth so much, you would
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: also think they're going to start running it a certain way.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: And then the other thing is, I stand by it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: I will not be upset if the Rays win the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: World Series just because they seem like an electric group
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: of guys who, I personally got to meet Chandler and
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Richie Palacios. We had a big hit the other night
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: against the Guardians. And guys and gals listening out there,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: it's going to be the first time we see a winner,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: like a real franchise, win its first World Series ever.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Ever.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: We're in for some history. And it's no wonder, you know,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: the tickets are going for so much in Milwaukee and
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: They're going, I think, for a lot in Tampa. I
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: understand Milwaukee's got this whole free ticket thing that they're
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: dealing with. What debacle is that, Ryan?
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: Actually, if I could just bring this up for 10
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: seconds here. It's a promotion called the Timeless Ticket, Alex.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: If I'm not mistaken, it was started in 2014 as
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: a way for Brewers fans to be able to pay $ 1, 000
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and you get one ticket to... any future game of
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: your choosing.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Sounds like a golden ticket by the Brewers.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Essentially, except you basically just give the team $ 1, 000 now,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: and then you get to save it for whenever you
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: want to use it. Say, the next time the World
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Series came to Milwaukee, or something like that. So, naturally,
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and there wasn't an expiration date on this either, so naturally,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: being that the Brewers are in their first World Series
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: in 44 years, a lot of Brewers fans are cashing
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: in their timeless tickets, or at least attempting to try
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: to cash in their timeless tickets... for World Series games
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: one and two, but they've been running into a bunch
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: of issues just in the sense that... So another thing
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: about this program, the team is supposed to offer the
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: best available seats for that. But it appears that the
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: Brewers are allegedly not doing that and that they're giving
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: these fans standing room only tickets.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of demand there, but that also opens
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: them up to a lot of lawsuits by... And we're
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: even seeing the Brewers now giving these fans their World
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Series tickets anyway, while also allowing them to keep their
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: timeless tickets for a future date. So in other words,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: they're just getting saddled with a ticket in the 400s
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: or a standing room seat for Game 1 or Game 2,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: and they technically haven't even used their ticket yet.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot of uproar in Milwaukee about this.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: And I know that they're the home team, and I
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: believe they're the home city. But here's the thing about it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Do they not even think over the fact that probably
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball is going to want a hand in
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: who gets... Like, MLB sort of takes over the show
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: wherever the World Series. Do they not?
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: They kind of do.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: And, I mean, it's really no coincidence either that a
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: lot of Brewers fans, at least from what I've been
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: seeing on social media, those that had potentially wanted to
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: use their timeless tickets in 2018 and even just last year,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: if they were to make it to the World Series,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: of course, they lost in Game 7 to the Dodgers
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: at home in 2018.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: They got swept just last year.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: And a lot of people were saying that there were
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: far better seats available at that time.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, there's documentation out there.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: And it's not like the team could go back on
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: that or anything like that because the Internet's forever, my friend.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Ryan Pagano, PAG's Perspective. Please tell me you're going to
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: talk about the NFL as well because I want to.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Now that you're here, I might as well get to
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: that real fast. So Jalen Hurts plays with a black lot.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And look, here's my thought. I don't care if you're
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: a giant fan, if you're like, you hate the Eagles.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: From a humanity perspective, you got to worry for the guy.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, blood clots are serious things not to mess
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: around with.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, can I, you're really going to get me started
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: on this.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, okay, so you let Jalen Hurts not only
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: fly to London, the other side of the globe, the
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: other side of the pond, with a blood clot in
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: his lung, but then you allow him to play and
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: basically just kind of force him to go in.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: How does this make any sense whatsoever?
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, all the signs were there that, okay, something's
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: definitely up with Jalen Hurts. I feel like you could
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: clearly see that in his performance against the Jags in London.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: And the fact that they cleared him to go on
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: a plane with, and then also play in the game,
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: and especially knowing what we know now, that he was
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: basically forced to not sleep right before the game because
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: it was going to be more dangerous than actually playing
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: in the football game. It's almost like a sleep-deprived quarterback, Alex,
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: isn't going to perform well when you tell him not
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: to sleep.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: It's almost like said QB is not going to perform well. Now, wait.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Genius concept, I know.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: This also brings in a question, something I bring up
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: with Louie often is, we need to get rid of
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: the international games. Like, I think there's a real risk
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: to these guys' health beyond just that. I mean, there's
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: a whole bunch of stuff. I get why the NFL
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: does it.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: They're in it for the money.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I get why they do it.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: They want to expand to new markets as well. So
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it's not all about the money.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: A lot of it is also expanding that to the
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: new markets. You saw that in Australia, the continuous European games. But,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: At the same time, do we really need the Jaguars
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: playing back-to-back home.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Games in London? And I get it.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: You know, their stadium in Jacksonville is undergoing renovations, so
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: they aren't able to play certain.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Games in there while the renovations are going on.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: But, again, do we really need to relegate one team
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: to the other side of the world for two whole weeks?
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Is that really necessary all in the name of growing
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: the game?
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: And then I hear that they're still going to go
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: on with the Paris game despite all that rioting going on.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: On the news front, I'll debrief that because I also
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: think that that whole situation has been radical, taken over really.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: It started in the rural neighborhood and all of a
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: sudden France is burning. But as far as the NFL
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: is concerned, they should not have this game in Paris.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: I just don't see.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: How you can... I just don't see how you could
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: justify it, especially with What chaos has been transpiring over
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: there in the past week?
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: I just don't see how you could play that.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, if they do, props to them for somehow
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: finding a way, but it's going to be tough to
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: divide that from the game that's supposed to transpire in Paris.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: It's going to be near impossible to do that.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: All right, and then one last thing. The banner raising
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: last night with the Knicks, loved it. I got a
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: little emotional watching it.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, so did I. Nothing happened after that, by the way.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: What? Nothing happened after that. As far as the game
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: that happened after, nothing happened.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: That's the thing about the game. I didn't care if
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: they lost or won. I just wanted to tune in
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: to the banner raising.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Well, that's what every Knicks fan was tuning in for.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: And that's what every Knicks fan was there at the
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Garden to see. The banner being raised. And I don't
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: know if you saw this one, Alex, but the shirts
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: that the Knicks gave out at MSG.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Kind of caused a bit of a firestorm before the game, so.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: In case you didn't see this, Alex, they gave out
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: black t-shirts saying 26-27 Champions Night. And apparently a lot
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: of people can't read, I found out, because they were
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: all interpreting that as, oh, well, people predicted the Knicks
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: to win the 26-27 NBA Finals and they haven't even
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: played a game yet. Not even realizing that 26-27 Champions
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Night basically means that this is the first regular season
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: game they're playing since they won the championships.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Heavy emphasis on the word night.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yep, well, there you go.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: But also, credit to the Sixers.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: They look really freaking good with 41-year-old LeBron in tow.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I mean, they look like a whole other team. That's
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the only reason.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: And I'm going to love to not only see these
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: guys play, but admittedly, I'm definitely looking forward to rooting
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: against them.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: As an NBA fan, you've got to have teams that
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: you love to root against.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you, as much as I say that
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the game didn't matter to me, The fact that we
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: played the Sixers a few years ago, more times this
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: year is a little concerning. We'll have to see.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Definitely.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: Will they be able to take over well, I was
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: going to say Wells Fargo, now Xfinity Mobile's arena. Are
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: they going to be able to take over Philly the
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: same way? Now that LeBron is in town. Because now,
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking about a whole different Sixers team.
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: Not even just with LeBron, but Jalen Brown also looking
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: decent in his Sixers debut. KCP providing some decent scoring
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: off the bench as well.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a whole new group right here. A
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: lot of the same pieces, don't get me wrong, but.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: It's been reinforced with what looks like bona fide concrete.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: That's going to be trouble for the Knicks.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, and then I think the heat with Giannis is
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: going to be different, too.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we'll see how they play tonight. Their
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: season tips off, and.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: I've got a couple Heat fans really looking forward to
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: seeing Giannis play, but I'm just curious how he's going
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: to be able to adapt as really... I mean, you
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: can make the case as Bam being his co-star and
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: all that, but for a group that is kind of
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: lacking in depth, per se, outside of that, I mean,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: they've got a couple solid pieces, the Miami Heat, around
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Giannis and Bam, but is Giannis going to be enough
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: to take this Heat team... to the next level, especially
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: when they gave up a lot of their younger depth
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: to try to get him.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm going to be curious to find out about.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know yet. And by the way, the Bucs,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: I think Jonathan's a better place because he doesn't have
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: the Bucs controversy. All right, one last thing.
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: And he doesn't have to worry about all these trade
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: rumors to the Knicks anymore that kind of clouded his
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: play and then also his future in Milwaukee the past
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: two years. There's none of that to worry about.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: It's a whole clean slate for the Greek footballers.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: One more thing. Did you get the chance to visit
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: the fan advisory, Nick's Banner, on Gravesend Neck Road in Brooklyn?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I wish.
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: I saw your picture over there, of course. And I mean,
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: credit to Fanatics for being able to set that up.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: With high-tech collision.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: That's such a cool banner. Maybe it'll still be up
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: by the time before the season's out. I don't know
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: what their plans are with that. But you should definitely
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: check it out for sure. Anyway, I'm Alex Garrett, and
