The 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 and the heart of Giants Nation.

Nobody beats the biz.

Chris Bizzingna, Chris, before we begin, I want to thank our sponsor, Fitzpatrick's Crest Tavern,

located at 9600 Pacific Avenue in Diamond Beach, just between Wildwood Crest and Cape May.

They have a huge slecks in the spirits, including 21 beers on tap,

18 widescreen TVs, so you can watch your favorite football team, hopefully the Giants,

on the NFL Sunday ticket. They have a number of appetizers, including Cape May salts and

Delaware Bay oysters, as well as my favorite, the Mardi Gras shrimp. So if you are vacationing

in the South Jersey Shore, head over to Fitzpatrick's Crest Tavern and tell the owner Sam Fitzpatrick, the giant insider sent me. That's Fitzpatrick's Crest Tavern, 9,600 Pacific Avenue in Diamond Beach, New Jersey, just between Wildwood Crest and Cape May, the best shuck in town. And Chris got a shout out to Joey Z, who was the first giant insider listener to go there and tell them that the giant insider sent him. So thank you, Joey Z. You are the man, buddy. Good stuff. What do you get? Like, what do you get? Like, what do you get? I think they were like kind of surprised that someone went in there already. He went in. I think he got a beer. And he's like,

yeah, I listen to the Giant Insider podcast. They said, and they, they, they actually, he texted me, and then they text to me. It was pretty funny. So if I go down and I say, yeah, I'm in a giant insider. Well, do you say you're, you know, you're Chris. I get a like a free appetizer or something? You probably get a free appetizer, yes.

Absolutely.

Well, that shrimp sounds really good, so...

Yeah.

Maybe next... Do I get a like a free appetizer or something? You probably get a free appetizer, yes.

Absolutely.

Well, the shrimp sounds really good.

So yeah, maybe next summer I'll have to visit that.

But Joey Z, man, good stuff, buddy. I got to give him a shout out.

Chris, a tale of two halves.
