| 0:00.0 | The great Mel Kuiper Jr. is with us. He was the star of the NFL draft. He always is. We'll get to the draft at a second. I was trying to log on to the internet. |
| 0:18.0 | I felt like Mel Kuiper Jr. for just a minute there because I couldn't get connected, but it's on me. It's not, it's not on Mel. But Mel, it makes me happy, how happy it makes you to see me. I mean, this is a career highlight. It really is, yeah. It should well be. I got a lot of words to describe, too. I said, uplifting is the word, because he's always in a great mood. When are you ever not happy about talking about sports or something related to it? So it's to me, when I know I'm coming on with you guys, I know I'm going to be feeling good during it and thereafter. So it's something I really look forward to. To answer your question about when I'm not happy, it's usually around 3.45 every single |
| 0:55.3 | Sunday during the football season. Watching the Jets, yes. I thought you're going to say about |
| 1:02.7 | 1.15. Currently after kickoff, when it goes awry, right? It's amazing. You got to wait until |
| 1:10.2 | 345. I hope this year you got to wait until 345. |
| 1:11.4 | I hope this year you have to wait until 345 when some of these games are decided. |
| 1:16.5 | You might give you a little hope for the future, Stu, if you can at least get the quarter to four Eastern time. |
| 1:21.5 | Perhaps he is so close to a boat, he is so close to crab cakes, he is so close to baseball season. |
| 1:26.7 | He could smell it right now |
| 1:28.5 | i mean orange crushes oh old bays everywhere down i got the old bay season everywhere there's |
| 1:33.5 | you put old bay on anything you can put it on anything it's going to taste great so yes we got the |
| 1:38.3 | crab cakes we got the old bay we got the orange crushes we're just ready to have a good time well |
| 1:42.5 | speaking of crab cakes uh as i was trying to connect to the internet in a radio studio, |
| 1:47.6 | I heard Mikey A and you having some sort of argument about crab cakes. |
| 1:51.8 | Mikey A, what was the genesis of this argument? |

| 2:02.3 | crushes, and the boat. And obviously put me on a boat with Mel Kuiper, and I'm going to have a |
| 2:08.0 | great time. I think orange crushes are some of the best cocktails you can have all summer long, |
| 2:13.3 | but I'm not a crab cake guy. And Mel was like, ah, you probably just didn't have the right one. And he's right. I was a little offended, was the word, a little offended.
