Hey, Giant Fans.

Welcome to The Giant Insider podcast.

My name is Jerry Foley.

Nobody beats the biz.

Chris Bizzignano.

Chris, before we get started.

Hey, Jerry, let's clear out one thing first.

I was scanning through the questions before.

I was taking my walk.

I know it's just podcast Friday and looking at some questions that might be coming up.

I see somebody asked the coming up.

I don't know if you're even going to get to it, but about do you, do I think I'm the best beat guy out there? Because you say

nobody beats the biz. So let's clear this up for this puzzling question. It started, folks,

with nobody beats the biz when Bob Papa introduced me on his podcast with Banks because for people who don't remember or too young or whatever is back in the day, there was a famous commercial that said nobody beats the whiz. Jerry, you know about it. You know, maybe some of our younger people who aren't too familiar with that, the old store, what was it, applying store, Right? Jerry, electronics, applying store back in the day?

And that was a famous commercial.

A guy was famous who did the commercial.

It was, nobody beats the whiz. So Bob Papa jokingly said, hey, nobody beats the biz. And then Jerry just picked up and I ran with him and says, hey, nobody beats the biz. Yes. It has nothing to do with me saying to Jerry on a text a year ago and said,

Hey, Jerry, I think on the Great. yes it has nothing to do with me saying to jerry on a text a year ago say hey jerry i think i'm the greatest please introduce me as nobody beats the biz okay you know chris is actually a lot like joe
