All right, folks, we are live.

Welcome to the Giant Insider podcast.

Brought to you by Fan Dual Sportsbook on the Believe Network. My name's Jerry Foley. I'm the senior editor of the Giant Insider newspaper. And with me, as always as the beat writer, the heart of Giants Nation. Co-host of the Mongeocast with the voice of the Giants Bob Poppa. Nobody beats the biz. Chris Bizignano. All right, Chris, so I'll think about this today.

You've been covering this team since 2013. to the Giants Bob Poppa. Nobody beats the biz. Chris Fizzignano. All right, Chris, so I'll think about this today.

You've been covering this team since 2018, right?

Was that your first year covering in the locker room?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

All right.

So not pound for pound, but I guess in the short span,

I don't know if anyone's experienced more coaches than you have, right? So you've had you've had Shermer, Judge, Dable, and now Mike Kafka, right? So Matt Kafka counts. So, yeah, I was just thinking, like, I wonder if there's another beat writer who's had as many coaches in, you know, eight years, right? Eight years, this must be the,

might be a record. So I was thinking about that today. Um, anyway, we have Mike Kafka as the

interim head coach makes a few key decisions that I think giant fans like. But, um, yeah, I guess

we'll start with that, Chris. You were there for the presser. What were your impressions of Mike Kafka, the head coach versus Mike Kafka, the offensive coordinator?

Was there anything different thus far?

Yeah.

Yeah, I think he's a little different.

He's a little more peppy.

Usually when he comes out, when he's, you know, on Thursdayss he just gives the standard answers and that's it

but a little different today you can tell he's excited you can tell he gave a little more

he elaborated a little bit more in answers you know like you know for instance i uh i x him

about ballin and you know about conference level and if that was dable he'd be like yeah i mean yeah i have total confidence and that bowling and, you know, about a conference level. And if that was dable, he would be like, yeah, I have total confidence.

And that would be it, you know.
