We got the Giants shooting up to the top pick in the draft. We got it all. Why are you laughing? I don't know if I would have said we got the giant shooting up.

Shooting up?

Interesting.

Well, the number one. Okay. Number one. And now watch, now they'll start to win games. Well, it happened to you last year. Oh, I know. But now they actually have winnable games, so now they'll win games. Well, that one you had to win. we had to make sure that we weren't winless at home

and then once we won that one

and didn't have the first overall pick,

now we can decide we don't want to win. We had to make sure that we weren't win this at home. And then once we won that one

and didn't have the first overall pick,

now we can decide we don't want to win. That's right. And then try to trade for the first overall pick. Right. That made sense. And fortunately didn't get it. And the one thing that worked out is seemingly is the quarterback. How are you? What's going on? Oh, I'm doing great.

Sit with it on my head? What are you looking for? I don't have a, have a garbage can right next So you could gently toss it into the garbage can

Well I gently tossed it over over onto the side And after the show I'll pick it up and put in the garbage Why is that a concern of yours? It's not like I said to you, hey, pick this up No, I'm And I didn't throw it in your direction And throw it to your house What are you complaining about?
