Hey, Giant Fans. Welcome to the Giant Insider podcast. My name is Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always, is the beat writer, the heart of Giants Nation. Nobody beats the biz. Chris is Ignatimable. Chris, before we get started, before we begin this episode, I want to thank our sponsor, our new sponsor, Fitzpatrick's Crest Tavern, located at 9600 Pacific Avenue and Diamond Beach between Wildwood Crest and Cape May. Crest Tavern has 18 widescreen TVs and the NFL Sunday ticket so you can watch your favorite NFL team while scarfing down some of the delicious options on their menu, including oysters, which are straight off the boat and onto your plate. There's also a great selection of appetizers including steamed clams, Mahi Mahi Mahi Tocos, and my personal favorite, the Mardi Gras shrimp. So, if you find yourself vacationing in the South Jersey Shore, head over to Fitzpatrick's Crest Tavern and tell the owner Sam Fitzpatrick that the giant insider sent me. That's Fitzpatrick's Crest Tavern, 9600 Pacific Avenue and Diamond Beach, the best shuck in town.

All right, dude, before we get started, you know, look, you sent out a great tweet before bigger things, September 11th.

You know, it seems like the Giants lost a horrible game last night and they did, but there's

bigger issues and a lot of people lost their lives loved ones 22 years ago so

just wanted to kind of nod to that first before we get started absolutely yeah um great job by

you um all right let's get into this man um obviously not not the turnout and not you want to get into

what happened with you bro i mean yeah so good point

jerry yeah a lot of people think yeah well you did have a family emergency but you're wondering how

you are so you want to get into what happened on the thing last night yeah so we started the the

viewing party which was going awesome it was 27 people joined before the game even started

i was having a good time

and then I had to kind of end it abruptly, had it a family emergency, but everything is okay. But it was

one of those things where you had to kind of be there and be a dad. But look, Chris and I joke around

between us. There's seven kids and three dogs and sometimes things happen and,

you know, there's more important things to worry about. But everything is okay. We're all good.

But that was a fun thing that we started and I will try it again next week, just so you guys know

we're going to give this a second go-around because it seemed like there was a lot of interaction. It was highlighting comments right off the bat, and it was a fun time,

and then it had to end. But thanks for bringing that up, Chris. But yeah, everything.

Yeah, well, you know, I didn't know, Jerry. My son kept checking in on the watch party, and he told me. He was like like you know you know jerry said he had to leave early

family emergency or something and then i saw people on twitter he's checking with jerry's you're right i'm
