Welcome back. It's the Big Blue Banter. New York Giants football podcast. I'm Dan Schneier.

I joined as always my co-ist Nick Bellato. It's been a while since we did a podcast here, Nick. Nick and I have both been on vacations. Mine is actually extending through the end of this weekend, sort of, but I'm be working from work and play type of little thing here. But I am just fresh off a flight from out of the country, literally just got through customs, got inside room door and hopped on the computer that's how much i care that's how much we care about this podcast and we don't want to take off too much more than just a week but everyone deserves a vacation so i'm happy nick got some time off happy i got some time off and obviously march is going to be a busy month for us apr April's going to be an even busier month for us.

So we needed a little calm before the storm here. And just a little reminder for the next week of shows, we'll be doing a bunch of content. We're going to be doing a multi-part mailbag. I know some people said you want us to keep it shorter, so we're just going to break it up with the parts. We're also going to continue with our series and any news on the Giants as well.

Now I'm back in the country, so I'll be able to kind of record whenever it wasn't able to then. But as a, in addition to that, I didn't, I wasn't able to bring my whole mic set up in the mixer and everything to Florida and Costa Rica with me, my whole trip out here. So I'm just recording from the Apple mic, and so my sound's going to be definitely worse and off and different than Nix. I know some people asked about one person, asked about the sound, but then I followed up with that person. They said, oh, I hadn't listened to the podcast since September. And that's when we got the sound and the mic and the mixer or when I got it, I should say.

And he said, I just listened to a new episode. And it does sound great. So thank you for that. I appreciate that. Unfortunately now, you've started relistening to us and you're going to have to deal with this mic for a little while. This is the Apple computer MacBook mic. So you may think, oh, was he just kind of tricking me? was Dan just tricking me and putting a fake episode out there and make it look like he's improved his mic sound? But no, rest assured,

the mic will return once I return back to New Jersey. Did you really just open the show just for

this one guy explaining? Like you went on like 45 seconds just to explain to this one listener

why you might not

have the most crisp mic right now yes I needed to be clear that I will have a good mic very soon

but not for another week but mailbag shows are my favorite Nick before we get into it

because once you get into it you just get rolling with it I want to know how you're doing

how your how your little break off was that was good man I went, man. I went down to Fredericksburg, Virginia with a bunch of friends toward the battlefield, just like we did last year with Antietam. And I love the Civil War history and things of that nature and just reconnecting with some of my, some of my boys. So that was good. And then we once DC and now I'm home. Good. Glad to hear it. And glad you're back.

I actually don't know why I thought you all. some of my boys so that was good then we went to dc and now i'm home good glad to hear it and glad

you're back um i actually don't know why i thought you also were visiting diana uh going down

there was that not part of the okay no no no time okay well i will get i will get going then nick

and let's get rolling on this mail bag we got a bunch of questions in again we're going to break

something to multiple parts um we're going to start with Frank Corona,

our boy, Corona, A.F. 257, who asks us, what are your guys early thoughts on J.J. McCarthy?

Do you think he has the necessary traits that a Brian Daibel can turn, Brian Daibel offense, I would assume you mean, can turn into a franchise quarterback? Also, what is both of your go-to hangover food? Nice. All right, Dan. So I think you're probably more tailored to answer both of these questions right here. I only have a go-to hangover food. And as for J.J. McCarthy, from what what i've seen a very good athlete somebody who i've
