Today is August 13th, 2025.

It is Talking Giants, brought to you by Seekek.

And yeah, we are recapping the Giants Jets joint practice at East Rutherford in East

Rutherford at the Quest Diagnostic Center.

My name is Justin Penick, and thanks for joining with me.

And I was saying the, because we go live on YouTube for these.

So I was saying right before we started, I feel good. And I don't know, I don't know about any of you. But, you know, I have my dog at home. I walk my dog, Mikey, you know, Mikey, cute little white puppy. He's the best, best damn puppy in the world. He's getting old now. He's like 11, 10, 11. but walking him in as I'm walking him out for dinner after he eats his dinner. And I'm like, I get like that familiar late summer August feeling of like when you like when I would go to like Pop Warner like tonight feels like a night where I would go put on the pads and go play some pop Warner football.
