recently saw a video of you on instagram it was like one of those like little oh cute videos

like i've loved you since 2025 it's 2025 and i've loved you since 2021 videos that that everybody's posting on Instagram. But it was you and your dog. It was you in Phoenix who actually looks like he's just looking him behind you, just chilling over there. A dog's life. It's so nice. It really is. It's 11.34 a.m. And he's just sleeping. He's just taking a nap. That's what he wants to do with his day. Why would he

not? He doesn't pay rent or any. He doesn't worry about rent or anything. So he just can do what he wants. But it was like, I loved you since 2021, Phoenix. And it was you, Nick, with long hair and a full beard. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I think that's the look for you, my friend. I know you, I've told this before. and it has no bearing on what you're going to ultimately.

But I'll say this.

I like that look.

And if I. look for you, my friend. I know you, I've told this before, and it has no bearing on what you're

going to ultimately, but I'll say this. I like that look. And if I could go that full beard, my guy, I would do it any day. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, the beer might make a return, but are other things going to make a return to aspects of all of our lives listening to this podcast? I said, that's what this podcast is about, ladies and gentlemen.

Yeah, so today we're going to talk about a couple things.

We're going to talk about a couple things. We're going to talk about if the Giants are headed toward a return toward the end of Gettelman and the end of Reese years from a locker room standpoint. Is the locker room culture collapsing in on itself? And why are we asking that question? Well, we're asking that

question because of things that happen and things that have surfaced in the recent 24 hours. So

the Giants made the decision to bench Daniel Jones. They made decision to demote him to

quarterback three instead of quarterback two. And they made decision to start Tommy DeVito over

Drew Locke. Now, as far as decision to move him to quarterback two to quarterback three, I think it is fair to say, Nick, that that is purely a financial decision, right? They don't want him getting injured in practice or around the team facility as the quarterback two. They don't want to put him back in a game where he could get injured. And, you know, they're getting a lot of crap from this, from, I guess, some fans and then from some unnamed player who we'll get to in a moment, we'll get to that quote. And then from Dexter Lawrence, who said, you know, I believe Daniel Jones is the QB1. And I don't, you know, that that's my opinion on it. And he should be the QB1. but when this happened with Derek Karnick and the Raiders,

when this happened with Russell Wilson and the Broncos, it was accepted because it's a reality.
