| 0:00.0 | I'll now hand you over to my best man, Eddie. |
| 0:04.0 | Wow, wow, wow, second time's a charm, eh, Billy Boy? |
| 0:09.0 | Oh God. |
| 0:10.0 | Substitution, courtesy of Paddy Power embarrassing Eddie makes way for sensible Samuel. |
| 0:15.0 | Cool, that was close. |
| 0:16.0 | You might not always pick the right starter, but your sub can still deliver. |

You know, the young Sid, I just cared about my team's winning the Mets, the Giants, the Knicks the Rangers, and I care less and less about that. |
| 0:40.1 | But I made some... My team's winning the Mets, the Giants, the Knicks, the Rangers, and I care less and less about that. |
| 0:39.9 | But I've made some incredible friendships along the way. |
| 0:43.8 | I've met some really special human beings. |

| 0:53.0 | Then you've heard this gentleman on this show many times before. |
| 0:56.9 | We are both in recovery. He's just a terrific guy. And I believe he is to the Met Band, the 80s and 90s, what Mickey Mantle was to the Yankee fan in the 50s and 60s. And that is a huge compliment. |
| 1:10.7 | The great number 18, my dear friend, Darrow Strawberry. Darrell, good morning, pal. How are you? Good morning, Sid. How you doing, my brother? Good to hear you. You too, man.

I think today people look at the players and they just look at the salaries. They don't look at the person. And everybody's looking at the team. Everybody's on social media. We didn't have that bashing the team and saying they suck and they this and that and well you're missing a key player |
