Knicks Post-Mortem: Injuries, Road Woes & Roster Needs

00:44 – 07:18

• Knicks lose 115-113 to Miami, with several key players missing.
  Jalen Brunson struggles and OG Anunoby is out; the team makes only 9 threes.
  Alan: “Landry Shammit turned back into a pumpkin. He had a great Friday night game — two for 11, not what you want.” (02:43)
• Both teams were undermanned: Knicks missing starters, but Heat also lacked Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.
• Road Struggles: Knicks are 0-4 on the road; upcoming games are winnable and important to right the ship.
• Alan projects the need for a 3–2 or 4–1 record on the next road trip to stay competitive.
• Detroit Pistons are the rising team to watch: Off to a hot start, much like last year’s Cavaliers. Don: “The Pistons, last year’s Cavaliers, you know, the surprise team that’s gonna dominate the regular season. But do they have it in them to actually make a run in the postseason?” (03:58)

Roster Analysis

• Alan wants another point guard and more size — “you still need a backup point guard…Malcolm Brogdon was supposed to be that guy. He retires.” (06:01)
• Both Peter and Alan agree Jalen Brunson’s style guarantees missed games, thus emergency depth is a must.
• Peter: “You need another big and another small.” (07:14)

Viral Trends: The Rise (and Fall) of "6, 7"

08:45 – 29:08

Listener Callers Weigh In

• Dylan, age 13: "About the 6, 7 thing, right? It's completely dead. I mean, it'll come up every now and then, but it's pretty much dead." (08:53)
  • Hosts explore the idea that adults ruin trends; Peter admits, “We're just trying to learn. We just want to be slightly less dorky.” (11:57)
• Mitch, elementary school phys ed teacher: "All I hear all day is 6 7-67-67. ...So, it's definitely not dead." (14:55)
  • Consensus: Meme is dying among older kids but persists in elementary.
  • Peter: "Trends are like hand-me-downs. When it doesn't fit the older kids anymore, the younger kids take it for a while." (15:41)

Tracing the 6, 7 Meme’s Roots

• Hosts, with help from callers, reconstruct meme history:

  • Started as a leaked song by Philly rapper Skrilla in Oct/Nov ‘24. Used as soundtrack for football hype edits.
  • Major inflection point: LaMelo Ball TikTok/YouTube edits (Jan '25), then hand gesture popularized by high school athlete and TikTokers, filtered down to Cam Wilder’s viral clip in March ‘25.
  • Peter: “So it was...multiple levels of nothingness to get us here and now America. Yeah, exactly. That's 2025 America, baby.” (17:44)

• Noah, self-described "6, 7 historian" (29, Manhattan):

  • “It all spawned from a leaked song by a Philly rapper named Scrilla...then it turned into LaMelo Ball edits...then Kobe, LeBron, all the way back to February of this year.” (35:08)

Trend Analysis & Parental Engagement

• Great Parenting Advice:
  Alan: “You wanna kinda stay engaged with your kids and not just completely be ‘get off my lawn.’ You kind of wanna know what's going on; the language.” (09:42) Michael: “The more you listen to their stuff, the more they'll be open to listening to yours. Because everything's cyclical.” (11:15)

• Fashion Meme Alert:

  • "Quarter zip" vs. "Nike tech" is the new fashion meme among teens, representing a “refined” look vs “slacker” athleisure vibe. Caller: “Apparently I’m the more refined guy...but I used to wear a tie every day—the quarter zips, casual for me, but apparently, I’m, you know, I’m doing just fine right now.” (27:37)

Callers & Comic Relief: Show Culture

18:49 – 29:08 & 34:21 – 38:49

• High Callers: Multiple listeners come on-air in varying states of coherence, prompting the hosts to riff about stoner culture and how it’s entwined in their audience:
  • Don: “High as a kite, man. He was drinking the bong water.” (19:40)
  • Peter: “I'd much rather have a bunch of stoners who are laid back and occasionally flub a phone call than people who are uptight and annoying.” (20:56)
• Inside Jokes:
  • Jokey banter about Alan’s “cowlick,” Peter’s status in the WWE broadcast world (“basically Double-A”), and listeners’ photographic/pornographic memories.

---

Sports Cross-Talk

12:05 – 13:04; 29:12 – 31:32

• Yankees discussion touches on contract offers and implications for outfield competition.
• Brief detour into Rangers/NHL, WWE (wrestling) crossover stunts, and arguments about appropriate athlete conduct and public perception.
• Peter makes the point about public (and media) overreaction to athletes having fun off the field: “People with all the vitriol are people that have no respect for wrestling. So they think what he did was beneath him. Or they just believe because he's hurt and the Giants are losing, that he should just sit in his apartment and sulk and watch film and get better...That's just not realistic.” (31:32)

---

Quick Hits & Memorable Quotes

• Quote – On Youth Trends Dying:
  Peter: "If a 7, 5, and 3 year old are into '6, 7,' that means 13 and 14 year olds roll their eyes." (28:49)

• Quote – On Team Injuries:
  Don: “You want to get the injuries out of the way early, period. You don’t want to ever have, ever have them. Have them in November, December.” (03:51)

• Quote – On Kids’ Slang and Music:
  Peter: “Sometimes you need to be able to say, ‘hey, tell your 16-year-old they don’t know jack ish about music.’” (11:10)

• Quote – Meme Creator Origins:
  Noah: "...the Boston tea party of the 6, 7 movement, if you will, was a LaMelo Ball edit...now this started everything..." (35:20)

• Comic Relief:
  Don: “The virgins are coming. The virgins are coming.” (37:04)

On 8 80, ESPN, the ESPN New.

[Michael Kay]

York app and your smart speakers, Don.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Hahn and Rosenberg, ESPN New York 503. Don, sorry, Allen and I here in the studio in New York City. Don in Tampa for the Devils and the Lightning. We're talking about a lot of, a lot of different things today, including Paul o' Neill and Bill Clinton. Oh, I love to bring mama and much more. But right now, one thing we haven't gotten to at all, we're gonna get to the callers to 1-800-919-3776. Throw out some important things including asking your adolescent or pre teen children, is six, seven dead now that the adults.

[Michael Kay]

Are doing it right? Did we ruin it?

[Peter Rosenberg]

But speaking of dead, the Knicks are, Knicks are half dead but missing several players. Allen, how bad do you feel in spite of the shortcomings, that they could have tied the game? They didn't. If you're a Nick fan, how, how bad do you feel about losing? 115, 113 down, OG down, Brunson shooting 25% from three. How bad do you really feel about that loss?

[Michael Kay]

I don't think you feel bad. I mean you hate losing, right? Like, and it was, there was an opportunity to win it and actually it looked like the game was going to be over with like a minute, two minutes to go. And then they, they started hitting a couple of threes and made it a game. And then they had some, they had a bad possession late that really Deuce McBride had a good game but had a bad finish. And it showed you how much they missed Brun. Now the Heat were also without Bam Adebaya. They're also without Tyler Hero. So they're missing two key guys as well. But home and homes, you never, you rarely sweep them. So you won your home game. They were theirs. It was, it was not a pretty game. The struggle was what you mentioned three. They only made nine. They struggled from the corner. He gave Eric Spoelstra two days after getting smoked. Given up 140 points to you on Friday. He gave him two days to get his team ready for the next game. Did you think they were going to be prepared for everything that you want to do? Of course they were and they were. And so it forced the Knicks to do some things, find other places that they can get offense from. Landry Shammit turned back into a pumpkin. He had a great Friday night game.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Two for 11, not what you want.

[Michael Kay]

And they have one and one for seven for seven for three. Yeah. So it's, it's. The problem is zero and four on the road. So they play as we mentioned already in Dallas tomorrow night. Dallas, not a very good team at 4 and 10. Like you got to win a game, you got to win a couple of games here they have a five game road trip and they're not playing great teams. Orlando's a good team that Saturday. Then it's Brooklyn and then it's Charlotte. Like you got to get at worst 3, at best 4 on this trip and get yourself, you know, again, get yourself going because I don't know if you're watching the Detroit Pistons, they can't lose. They won 10 in a row. They've gotten off to a great start. They've got a lot of confidence. So the early injuries, Brunson is kind of a day to day. We'll see when he comes back. OG Ananova, you might not see him for a month because it's a hamstring. They're going to reevaluate in two weeks. So those are those concerns. But those injuries were happening to the Knicks later in the season. Is it better that they get him out of the way early and then get guys healthy? I don't know, but I like the way they're playing. Last night was just one of those frustrating games where the threes just were not dropping.

[Don Hahn]

But you want to get the injuries out of the way early, period. You don't want to ever have, ever have them. Have them in November, December.

[Michael Kay]

I agree.

[Don Hahn]

When you're trying to make a run. And the Pistons, last year's Cavaliers, you know, the surprise team that's going to dominate the regular season. But do they have it in them to actually make a run in the postseason?

[Michael Kay]

Yeah, I made that parallel. That's what I. Because they're having that Cavaliers kind of start where they just. Their schedule is a little light. They're not really playing the best of the league, but doesn't matter. But they're winning. They're winning and they're doing it sometimes without Kate Cunningham, he's missed a couple of games. They're still finding ways. So that team's starting to believe. They believed off last year losing to the Knicks. They came out of that. I spent some time get ready for the drop. I spent some time with J.B. bickerstaff in the summer because he did some stuff. Yeah, he did some stuff with espn. So we got to talk a lot. And they felt like that playoff series almost as disappointing as was to lose, galvanized them and now made them feel like, okay, we've got something here. And they came into the season with.

[Don Hahn]

A belief we got to learn from losing. Right. That's what the good teams do is that they, they gain knowledge from that. And you wonder if that's going to make the Pistons better or is this just a, you know, a team that's taking the regular season seriously, taking a lot of teams that probably aren't, as you said, a little bit of an easy schedule to start and maybe they end up being that surprise one seed. But will it matter once we get to the playoffs when you're going to have to get through a nick team that also has learned from losing. Right. Not just last year, but the year before and now with a new coach. And so I wouldn't worry about it. But you would like to try to get home court if you can. You know, if you have to play the Pistons again in a hard fought series, you don't want to have to play a possible, well, you know, game five and seven on the road.

[Michael Kay]

You won all the games in Detroit. You went three and oh, but that's.

[Don Hahn]

Probably something that they learned how to be better at home, how to, you know, and I. It's a long way, man.

[Michael Kay]

It is.

[Don Hahn]

You know, we had our meeting talking about the Knicks. I think there's a lot to talk about. But at the end of the day, it's mid November. No, it's so much basketball to be played to really. Just to really wrap your mind around anything like that's permanent here.

[Michael Kay]

No, there's nothing permanent. To me it's more like I feel like right this time of year it's like baseball, you do some check ins and like I felt like, you know, again, the home stand was a really good homestead 6 and 1. There's a little check in off a loss last night. But you know, as I'm watching more and more, I keep telling myself this is Not a complete roster. Like there's still some things I would rather I'd like to like by the end of the season, by the tread deadline. Is there a way to target a couple of things and last night showed you without Brunson you still need to backup point guard. Malcolm Brogdon was supposed to be that guy. He ends up retiring. He didn't have it in him to keep playing. So you still have I think a need for another guy that can handle the basketball getting offense organized because McBride's really good. But in that situation he looked sped up, rushed. He took two kind of bad shots. Still cat rebounded both of them and had a chance to score on both of them. One almost was a goaltend, the other one rattled out at the buzzer. So it's like if you had a veteran experienced point guard in that situation, do they get a better shot? Do they get a better look at the rim? Are they able to get the win? So that's one of the other one. I still think they're a little short. I think they need some more size. And I don't know how you get another big off the bench.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You need another big and another small.

[Michael Kay]

Another big and another small. So at some point, and the thing.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Is like, and I say this with complete respect, the guy goes so hard Brunson that you just have to know that they're going to be 10 to 15 games a year. He could be out. He goes too hard.

[Michael Kay]

Which is why you need that second guy.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You need that real second guy. With respect to McBride, they just need someone who you can really count.

[Michael Kay]

Like some thought it might maybe Tyler Kolik will get a chance. Mike Brown gave him a chance in this second round pick. Now Mike Brown gave him a chance early in the season and then he is not gone to him since he's tibsed him. He's kind of let you know, like, okay, we saw it enough. And that Tiber, okay, they've. They've got to find themselves somebody if they can at some point. This is whether it's a guy that gets bought out. That happens a lot too. You get a guy that's bought out a veteran who's good, but they buy him out and then he can sign with everybody he wants. And you always want to go to a championship contender. I would keep an eye on that role because I do feel like. And you're right, Brunson's going to miss time. Brunson is also a guy that's going to play hard and you got to Save him from himself sometimes, dude, he's going to be. That guy's gonna be shooting somebody else out.

[Peter Rosenberg]

He is going to be jumping and landing in the lane with feet everywhere, multiple times a game every night. And you know the result of that.

[Michael Kay]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Let's go to the people. 1-800-919-3776. This is big. Let's go to Dylan in the car. Who wants to weigh in? Dylan. Hey, Dylan.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

And my dad made me call in today, all right. Make me listen to the radio every single day coming back from school.

[Don Hahn]

Right.

[Caller/Listener]

So about the 6, 7 thing, right? It's completely dead. I mean, it'll come up every now and then, but it's pretty much dead.

[Michael Kay]

So when we say six, seven, you're not doing the whole six.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You're more. You're more cringing and feeling bad for us. Like, wow. They don't even know it's dead.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So what's the. So, Dylan, what's the new? And how old did you say you were again?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm 13. I'm an eighth grade.

[Peter Rosenberg]

All right, so. So what is the next thing that the kids are saying right now that we can ruin next?

[Caller/Listener]

I mean, it's nothing really big right now, but, like, you know, like, it'll pop up.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Wait, wait. Can't hear you. Do you move the phone? Can't hear you.

[Caller/Listener]

Corny. And, like, cringy. Rather than, like, them playing along.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Got it. All right, Dylan. Thank you, buddy. This is important and valuable information.

[Michael Kay]

Fantastic.

[Don Hahn]

I'm gonna need this because, like, the kids are gonna be turning eight. They're gonna start to. I wanna be able to. The best advice I got, one of the best pieces of advice is you wanna kind of stay engaged with your kids and not just completely be. To get off my lawn. You kind of wanna know what's going on, the language.

[Michael Kay]

That's great parent advice. Like, I'll give the example of Gracie, 17, listens to her music, and a lot of like. Again, Don, you talk about your dad? My dad was the same way. I wanna play some. Get that crap off. He doesn't want to hear it. And I'm like, no, this is good. Listen. It's garbage. And then you feel disconnected. All right, well, I can't listen to music around you unless it's your music. And, you know, at this age, I don't like it. So Gracie has her music, and I was like, I'm not gonna be that dad. Zach was the same way when he was into certain, like, you know, artists and stuff. And he would want to play it. I'm like, let me give it a listen. I'll be honest if I think it's not good. I'll tell you that's not good.

[Peter Rosenberg]

There you go. And like sometimes people go, there's certain.

[Michael Kay]

Like she listens to Tate McRae and Sabrina Carpenter and all these different pop acts and there's some songs like, you know what, that's not a bad song.

[Peter Rosenberg]

This is pretty good. No, listen, I think you have a great opportunity to learn from what kids like now.

[Michael Kay]

Yes.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Sometimes parents go too far, especially like where we are in music. And Ebro and I talk about this a lot where parents like, ah, nah man. The 16 year olds say this is the best. And sometimes you need to be able to say, hey, tell your 16 year old they don't know jack ish about music.

[Michael Kay]

Thank you.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And I'm glad they think it's the best. But that doesn't mean it's the best, right? It means they're have.

[Michael Kay]

The more you listen to their stuff, the more they'll be open to listening to yours. Because everything's cyclical. You hear songs and I'll say to Gracie, oh, that's a sample from a song from the 80s. And I'll find the song and play it for her and she'll be like.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, wow, that's it.

[Michael Kay]

Yeah, yeah, that's it. Like it's the song. They just flipped it and made it their own. And that's when they start to then open up because you were, you know, opened up to listen to what they like. If you are completely closed and tell them, don't play that garbage in my house and I or in the car. Nah, then you're not doing it right. But it doesn't mean that you have to then yield to them as if they are the.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh yeah, they know everything.

[Michael Kay]

They know everything you teach them.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That was valuable. So if there any preteens and teens out there want to tell us what the next thing is now that six seven is dead.

[Michael Kay]

Dead.

[Peter Rosenberg]

We're just trying to learn. We just want to be slightly less dorky. Javier in Queens. What up?

[Caller/Listener]

What's going on, fellas? Thanks for taking the call.

[Michael Kay]

Sinister organ behind us, by the way.

[Caller/Listener]

I know it sounds great, so I want to ask Peter a question, but before I do. Alan, are you as disappointed as me that Trent Grisham signed that contract? I feel like the Yankees played chicken with Grisham and we're going to.

[Michael Kay]

Yeah, we're going to do this in Enn. Trent Grisham did accept his qualifying offer. It's like 20. 20 something.

[Caller/Listener]

22.

[Michael Kay]

Yeah, 22.

[Don Hahn]

So.

[Michael Kay]

Doesn't mean that they're stuck with him, but it is. It is interesting to see. Now, what does that mean for Dominguez? Does that mean that the Bellinger Chase isn't as aggressive like. It is interesting, but, yeah, once. Once they are. Once they gave him the qo, he's going to. He was going to take it.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. I think the Yankees of yesteryear, you.

[Michael Kay]

Know, you would have.

[Caller/Listener]

You would have thought this guy would have been a $22 million insurance policy, but for the. For what They're. How they're functioning now. He's gonna start. If they're gonna pay him that he.

[Michael Kay]

Had a good season. You gotta hope he has another one. That's all. Yeah, I know. I know.

[Caller/Listener]

Peter, Today is the day where, like, I. I'm so happy to be on with you because everybody, earlier today was so out of their depth.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Right.

[Caller/Listener]

With the Scatter Boo WWE thing.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Has.

[Caller/Listener]

Has it been brought up or have you confirmed? Everyone thinks this is, like, a WWE thing. I mean, there's the possibility that Scatterboo's like, a man, you know, Dom stepped up to him. He's not gonna sit down. Like, any chance that, you know, it's just like, you know. You know, remember Hogan put Belzer in a chokehold and this guy passed out.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

You have to get stitches. Right. These things happen. So was that, like, you know, possibility? That was real. No, that's why the Giants hate to be concerned.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No.

[Caller/Listener]

No way.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, there. That part is no possibility now, is there?

[Michael Kay]

Say what you said earlier, you did explain.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Is there a possibility that there was a plan to do something and the plan went off the rails? That's always on the table. There's always a possibility that you say, hey, we're planning on doing a thing, and then this guy's gonna come over and then boom, boom, boom, and then this and then that. That's always on the table. No, I don't think there's any chance Cam went crazy when I'm just shoving J.D. mcDonough. No. But do I think there's a possibility that because things went sideways that maybe J.D. mcDonough looked at him like, hey, do something. Do something. Push me.

[Michael Kay]

That.

[Don Hahn]

Yes.

[Michael Kay]

Because it was an awkward pause where everybody was just staring at each other. Yes. And it's sort of like, who's gonna do something here?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

And.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And then McDonough, like, goes flying. Of course. And it makes Scatterbo look Great. And in the end all Scatterboo was kind of like nipped a little tiny bit by Finn Balor was nothing serious. Here this interesting. We got Mitch and Comac. Mitch is a teacher. What's going on?

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, what's up man?

[Peter Rosenberg]

How are you? We're good.

[Caller/Listener]

So I'm a phys ed teacher and all I hear all day is 6 7-6767. So I know Dylan's a little older. I work at an elementary school. The kid that just called me eighth grade.

[Michael Kay]

But that's different though.

[Caller/Listener]

I'm doing the long jump contest with my students and they all want to jump 6, 7, 7 inches. So it's all I hear all day. So it's definitely not dead.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well that's interesting. Does that means it's dead to the 13 year olds but the elementary school kids who are behind.

[Michael Kay]

Isn't that usually how it goes?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yes.

[Michael Kay]

When it gets. I think it's when the older kids, the older kids stop liking it when the younger kids say it too much.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah. Cuz now the younger kids and the parents are saying it.

[Michael Kay]

They ruin it.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Right.

[Michael Kay]

When it goes Main Street.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So now it's ruined.

[Don Hahn]

So trends are like hand me downs. But it doesn't fit the older kids anymore. So then the younger kids.

[Michael Kay]

You take it for a while. Yeah. Right. I gotta see last year's fashion here. You wear it.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I want. Do you guys. The question is.

[Michael Kay]

Yeah.

[Peter Rosenberg]

How long did it take for it to get to the old.

[Michael Kay]

Like when did it first like like.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Versus when it started.

[Michael Kay]

It was a tick tock thing. Right.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's an Internet. It's. It's. It did emerge in 2025. I'm just trying to get a specific. It started with this song called Doot Doot by Skrilla.

[Michael Kay]

Sure.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And it became popular because of these lamelo ball video edits or whatever. But I'm just curious about. So it sounds like March 2025 was. It was already big.

[Michael Kay]

It's about right.

[Peter Rosenberg]

In March.

[Michael Kay]

Yep.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Don, when would you say you became aware of six, seven.

[Don Hahn]

Late summer.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That makes sense.

[Don Hahn]

I think. No, I should. I take that back. I think it's. I think the kids got it when they got to school. So probably September.

[Michael Kay]

Oh wow.

[Peter Rosenberg]

How would they have gotten it?

[Don Hahn]

Summertime.

[Michael Kay]

I figured baseball practice and baseball. Right.

[Don Hahn]

I think it was more once they got to school.

[Michael Kay]

Okay.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So. So on March 31, this YouTuber kid Cam Wilder posted a video. The video is titled My Overpowered AAU Team has Finally Returned in which a kid, Maverick Trevilian, later Nicknamed six seven, Kid is seen going up to the camera and yelling six, seven. While performing, forming a hand gesture in which he moves his hands up and down with upward facing palms.

[Michael Kay]

It's supposed to be a reference to it being mid something. Being mid, right?

[Peter Rosenberg]

I don't think so.

[Michael Kay]

I thought that's what it was. So nice.

[Don Hahn]

And now you're putting too much logic into it, I think.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, exactly. Now you're making it mean something again.

[Michael Kay]

So he just. He just randomly said 2, 2 numbers and thought it. Thought it was great. Everybody thought it was great.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So it was. But he was taking it from a song in which it was said and sounds that way. So it's multiple levels of nothingness to get us here and now America. Yeah, exactly. That's 2025America, baby.

Hey, buddy.

[Caller/Listener]

Hey. What's going on?

[Peter Rosenberg]

What do you got for us? Has.

[Caller/Listener]

So, I mean, when I first called, I said I was gonna talk about, you know, Abdul Carter and defend them a bit.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

And related to a bit of a high school football incident I had.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Michael Kay]

All right.

[Don Hahn]

Okay. Thank you for the call. There is no second screening process. People need to realize you get screened, you go on the.

[Michael Kay]

Did he think he was waiting? He was in the waiting room.

[Don Hahn]

No, he. No, he thought he was getting a second interview.

[Michael Kay]

No, like he was now waiting room.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah. Because he was like, hey, I was gonna say blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then we said, all right. And he just stopped talking.

[Michael Kay]

So he was waiting then for to be on the show.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Don. Don. What is this? Further proof of it's Just, he was.

[Don Hahn]

High as a kite, man. He was drinking the bong water.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So real quick. That means after he smoked the bong, he was so high that he's like, I just want to drink this water too, bro. I need a little more.

[Don Hahn]

This guy smokes resin, man. Like, he just can't go. He can't do without, man.

[Peter Rosenberg]

He needs more. And in the, in the era of edibles, we are in an era where you could get, literally get marijuana beer where you're just drinking thc. But he says, I like the original. Give me the bongo.

[Michael Kay]

I don't know this.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Nothing smells worse than that, but I want to drink it.

[Don Hahn]

I don't know this for a fact, but I would say by. In Jersey, at least 50% of the new businesses seem to be dispensaries like Manhattan.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And I would say, and I would say 50% of the people go to those places. Our P1 listeners.

[Michael Kay]

Oh yeah, they call it.

[Don Hahn]

We should actually.

[Peter Rosenberg]

We talk about places our.

[Don Hahn]

We're looking at places to do remotes like the, the holiday party. If there's a dispensary at a beach, I think we should do it there, man.

[Peter Rosenberg]

This is, that is our crowd, dude.

[Don Hahn]

For our people. Listen, I love our audience, but they love getting high and they love calling higher.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Classic. This is our show.

[Don Hahn]

I haven't heard this song in so long. How old is this song?

[Peter Rosenberg]

My guess is like what, 97 or something.

[Michael Kay]

Yeah, this is. This feels like late 90s actually. No, it might not be. It might be mid 90s.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Like it wasn't like a real song.

[Michael Kay]

Like 96 or 7 wasn't a real song. 2000.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It wasn't like there was no one who was like, oh, what kind of music you into? You're like, oh, Afroman, I'm into. Because I got high. That wasn't.

[Michael Kay]

That's a parody song, man. You know that.

[Caller/Listener]

You guys know.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Look, look, Mitch. Mitch is in Edison. He's high right now. What's up, Mitch?

[Don Hahn]

Good for you, man.

[Michael Kay]

Hey, how are you?

[Peter Rosenberg]

What's going on, bro?

[Michael Kay]

Good, baby. What's up with you?

[Caller/Listener]

I gotta mute the YouTube.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yep, that could take a minute. Go ahead. Oh, let me get your music. Let me get your music. Hey.

[Caller/Listener]

I love everybody except for Alan has a little calicite unballed now. See, but I Haven't. Cowlick.

[Michael Kay]

Oh, so you're mad. You're mad about my cowlick? I'm mad that no one told me that it was. I didn't even notice it popping up like. Like a mouth.

[Caller/Listener]

You look great. You have hair. I have no hair. It's okay.

[Michael Kay]

Yeah, it's okay. But you don't have to deal with it. That's the good thing. It's one less thing for you to have to deal with in the morning.

[Caller/Listener]

So is Peter, like, in the double A of wrestling right now?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Basically. Listen, I'm in the. I think you're in Triple A. I'm in. I'm in the big leagues when it comes to the ples. When I go to the big shows, but as far as a commentator, I'm basically double A.

[Michael Kay]

Yes. Double A.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Basically double A. Yeah, but you.

[Michael Kay]

But you're.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Because NXT is aaa, but it's on big tv.

[Michael Kay]

Gotcha.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That makes sense.

[Michael Kay]

Gotcha.

[Caller/Listener]

It's on tnt.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, it's not on tnt. Listen, we know there's a lot going on over there.

[Michael Kay]

Tue.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's not on tnt. It's on the cw. But I'm. But I'm on tubi. Are you gonna be able to remember?

[Caller/Listener]

Oh, I remember everything.

[Don Hahn]

I have.

[Caller/Listener]

I was gonna say photographic, but that doesn't make.

[Michael Kay]

It's probably photographic.

[Don Hahn]

I have a pornographic memory.

[Michael Kay]

Yeah, me too.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Love this guy, man. Oh, it's.

[Don Hahn]

I. I've never said anything more true than our audience.

[Peter Rosenberg]

The show of high is the show of high.

[Michael Kay]

It's all right.

[Don Hahn]

No, I get.

[Michael Kay]

People feel like they can kick back and just after a long day at work. Chill. We're doing all right.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Whatever you guys got to do, man. But we're also for the teachers, Kyle and Petrog. Hey, Kyle.

[Caller/Listener]

How's it going, guys? First off, I just want to say thank you, Peter and Don. My wife and I got married eight years ago. Not a sports fan at all. Didn't even watch the Super Bowl. Turned her on to tmks, and she is a huge fan because of you guys. So I just have to say thank you for saving my marriage and household. And my wife.

[Peter Rosenberg]

There you go.

[Michael Kay]

We're here for you, baby.

[Caller/Listener]

Appreciate it. So I am. I'm a middle school teacher in that 1213 range. Six, seven is still a big thing, but it is dying down.

[Michael Kay]

Good.

[Caller/Listener]

It is. Like you said once. The parents aren't saying it's a little kid that's kind of not cool anymore. The thing this week started. I wore yesterday. I wore a Quarter zip. You know, just a nice kind of casual kind of professional. And all the kid, all they could talk about. Nice quarter, Mr. Gordon. Nice quarter zip. Where's your matcha? So there's this meme of.

[Michael Kay]

People who.

[Caller/Listener]

Wear quarter zips versus people who wear Nike tech. And the quarter zip is the professional. The nice looking guy drinks a fancy drink, and then the guy wearing the Nike tech is not so much. So I don't know what that even means, but that's. That's what the kids are telling me.

[Michael Kay]

So you're. You're the. You're the more like, you know, refined. Right. Like you're that. Whereas the. The Nike tech is like the. The athleisure guy who's lazy and just wears like a golf outfit. And he calls that like dress clothes.

[Don Hahn]

Exactly.

[Michael Kay]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

You know, like blacks that don't fit, sneakers that are dirty. You know, I mean, I used to wear a tie every day. The quarter zips. Casual for me, but apparently I'm, you know, I'm doing just fine right now.

[Michael Kay]

I think it's a compliment. Good for you.

[Caller/Listener]

I agree. You know, Peter, I think that you should put on a quarter zip tomorrow.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yep.

[Caller/Listener]

You know, and when you walk past a group of teenagers, you order a.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Mask at Starbucks and success and just hit him with a little. Say, hey, hey, guys. You know how much this cost? That was about six, seven. Am I right?

[Michael Kay]

Right. You got me.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's so funny though. I did hear that's become a big thing, the quarter zip. That there are kids who like quarter zip. No. I don't know where.

[Michael Kay]

Peyton Wares.

[Don Hahn]

Yeah, it's true.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I got a quarter zip. You got. Remember, Donna, a couple years ago I bought a couple cashmere quarter zips.

[Don Hahn]

Yes.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And yeah, I got roasted when I came to show. Like, what are you, Eli Manning? I like.

[Michael Kay]

Now you can wear them.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's apparently the kids think they're in now. Listen, Rahsaan, my camera guide, Hot 97. Great guy, big avid listener to this program. He wrote me, and this is very interesting, he said, in my house with a seven five and three year old, six, seven is alive and well. And I said yes. And that means it's dead.

[Michael Kay]

Mm. Right. That's what it is.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Because if a 75 and 3 year old are into 6, 7, that means 13 year olds and 14 year olds roll their eyes.

[Michael Kay]

Yep. They hate it now. They hate it. And that's exactly what it is in my house. Callie's the only one that finds it funny.

[Don Hahn]

Right.

[Michael Kay]

And she's 10 and she's 10 right in a wheelhouse.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Exactly. But the teenagers are out.

[Michael Kay]

Gracie cringes now. Please don't.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Michael in the Bronx. What's up?

[Caller/Listener]

Hey, guys.

[Michael Kay]

So I went.

[Caller/Listener]

Can you hear me?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Caller/Listener]

All right, perfect. So I'm a New York guy, Knicks fan, Ranger fan, the entire thing. And I actually went to see John Cena fight last night with my wife at msg. My birthday's on Monday. She got me the tickets. I want to shout out her. But when I tell you the cam, Scatter Boo and everything that's happening on. We've got nothing to root for. Our team suck. You know, Knicks are getting injured. We haven't won. Let the guy fight, all right? He's going to recover. He'll be fine. Love you guys. Been listening to the Michael K. Time Rosenberg. I'm a big fan. Love you guys. But I just want to hear your thoughts about that. Just let the guys have fun. We got nothing to root for.

[Michael Kay]

Thanks, Michael. I mean, you know, as long as he's safe. Because, you know, he did just have surgery recently.

[Don Hahn]

Right.

[Michael Kay]

But as I said, like, as we said at the start of the show, I think Don and I are on the same page on this one. Is the, the vitriol that I heard all day today towards Scatter Boo to me, was misguided. It is not. It is not about that. It is about the team that clearly had to know that he was going to be there, there, and they were fine with it. They cleared him to do it. They knew he'd be part of it. He's 23. You can't act like he knows better. He doesn't know better. He lives in a fantasy land right now. He played college football at a high level. That's fantasy world. That's not real world.

[Peter Rosenberg]

He doesn't know.

[Michael Kay]

They, they, they, they have.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And he thinks he knows.

[Michael Kay]

They have open for them. He. Exactly. He thinks he knows. Yeah. Very good line. And I just feel like, you know, now he's playing the NFL, like, this is just what he's going to be. And he's having fun at a time where he's got so much energy he can't play the sport he loves to play. You know, he's jacked up on Mountain Dew. Just walking down the street, you could see it. So when he has the opportunity to just get a little bit of adrenaline out, that's what that's going to be. You're never going to stop him from doing it. And ask yourself, everybody that was on the pulpit today yelling at this Kid, ask yourself, when you were 23, what would you have done?

[Peter Rosenberg]

By the way, Bart Scott. It's, It's. It just got posted. Bart Scott was. Did some wrestling stuff when he was still an active player.

[Michael Kay]

Absolutely he did. He loved it. Yeah.

[Don Hahn]

No, and it's sad because he thinks he knows, which makes him dangerous.

[Peter Rosenberg]

One of the great quotes.

[Don Hahn]

I said it earlier. The people with all the vitriol are people that have no respect for wrestling. So they think what he did was beneath him.

[Michael Kay]

Okay.

[Don Hahn]

Or they just believe because he's hurt and the Giants are losing, that he should just sit in his apartment and sulk and watch film and get better and be completely dedicated to the Giants 2026 season. And that's just not realistic. Now, do I think the Giants could have gotten maybe in the way of this just because they knew it'd be bad PR because of where they are? Probably. But the Giants aren't very buttoned up right now.

[Michael Kay]

They're just not.

[Don Hahn]

You know, you don't go two and nine every single year to start the season unless you got problems. And they're in the midst of a coaching change. And you've got the Abdul Carter thing, and he was there. It's. It was a bad look. As we used to say on the Michael K Show, it's a bad optic. But to get crazy, listen, it was a perfect storm. Unfortunately for him, right. The Giants stink. There's nothing going on. Right. We were in the middle of November, the football season's over. Nothing's happened with the hot stove in baseball. It's too early to get crazy on the hockey and the basketball. And a lot of really good people in radio found an open. And I can tell you, the people that did that are people that are just not very respectful to wrestling and believe that losers should shut their mouth.

[Michael Kay]

Right? Go to the box, two minutes, you know, feel shame. Feel shame, and then you set free.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well, you know, maybe for those people who are feeling that way, if they have that kind of sadness in their life, that they would come after wrestling, they need a hobby, and maybe they should be watching more sports. And maybe when they watch the sports, they want to throw a few bucks down and they do it at fanduel.

[Michael Kay]

There you go.

[Peter Rosenberg]

The number. By the way, I crushed on FanDuel Saturday Night UFC.

[Michael Kay]

Oh, you did?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, I just, like, kept throwing. So these kids figure, these 22, I made, like. I made like 600 bucks.

[Don Hahn]

Nice.

[Michael Kay]

That's the good six, 700 bucks.

[Peter Rosenberg]

And I'm not. I'm not a big what do you say?

[Don Hahn]

6, 700 bucks?

[Peter Rosenberg]

Well done.

[Don Hahn]

Well done.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, but listen.

[Michael Kay]

Oh, Jake's giving him a standing ovation.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I didn't know what was. I didn't know, you know much about who was fighting in the early in the prelims and I just said let me throw a little bit here and there. Did well.

[Michael Kay]

Ah, get it back.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Three, six, nine. You see what we did?

[Michael Kay]

Let's kill it. I mean, I, I, we need to kill it dead.

[Peter Rosenberg]

No, it's, it's very, you know, dead. Here's, here's Noah in Manhattan. What's up, Noah?

[Caller/Listener]

Can you hear me? So I'm actually one would say a 6, 7 historian. And I saw someone earlier in the.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Broadcast, by the way, you know, there's.

[Caller/Listener]

Another previous floor that's not accurate.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh, just really quick. There is another phrase they have for six, seven historian. It's called idiot. I'm just kidding. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. No, it's called Lonely Man Virgin.

[Michael Kay]

It's fair.

[Caller/Listener]

All the critiques are fair.

[Peter Rosenberg]

What do you got? What do you tell us about it though?

[Caller/Listener]

So it first started. Very little people know this part. It started last year around October, November. It all spawned from a leaked song by a Philly rapper named Scrilla.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I said that.

[Caller/Listener]

People started to use it in the back of football hype posts like they were looking cool on the field. It was just like their hype anthem. Then on January 29, the post that I would say started it all, the Boston tea party of the 67 movement, if you will.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Okay.

[Caller/Listener]

Was a lamelo ball edit where street interviewers asked how Tall do you think LaMelo Ball is? They would answer, 6 5, 6, 3, 6 8. And then they would say 6, 7. In which point it turned into a LaMelo Ball edit. Now this started everything and then all of these edits started to come in of lamelo ball. Then it turned into Kobe Bryant, then turned to LeBron James. That was the first era of the 67 movement all the way back in February of this year.

[Michael Kay]

You know what? Now it makes sense what MSG did with me last week with that post.

[Peter Rosenberg]

What was your post?

[Michael Kay]

We were asked a lot.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You did a cringe about how tall.

[Michael Kay]

They want how tall I am. And a lot of the replies was six, seven. And I said, well, no, I'm six' six.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I didn't get it close enough.

[Michael Kay]

Now I get it.

[Caller/Listener]

That's the part of it. Then the hand movement that came into this. There's a high school basketball player he committed to.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, the one I said yes.

[Caller/Listener]

Yeah. He started using the sound because Skrilla is his favorite rapper. And he started using the hand movement. That was what started with him. And he started posting it all the time. Over time, sports started to post it all the time. And then Cam Wilder came into the picture and then that's when six seven kid came into the picture. That was months later.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So is he like the Paul Revere of six seven? I mean, where do we, how do we apply? You know, who's his political.

[Don Hahn]

The virgins are coming. The virgins are coming.

[Caller/Listener]

An apt comparison, I would say.

[Don Hahn]

Why?

[Caller/Listener]

I think that's fair.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Noah, how old are you?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm 29.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Why are you fascinated with this ridiculous thing?

[Caller/Listener]

I'm a big fan of music and music marketing. So I've been studying trends online for about 10 years right now. About six, seven years.

[Michael Kay]

I love it.

[Caller/Listener]

So I study all this tick tock nonsense.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Wow. The brain rot, if you will. No, that's good.

[Caller/Listener]

The brain rod generation. But I'm. I'm kind of. I'm towards unk status at this point.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, you are.

[Caller/Listener]

But you know, I'm still keeping with with the times, dude.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Noah, thank you. You might. We, we need Noah in Manhattan. We might need you to be a regular, a regular interpreter of what's going on. Dude, we might need you.

[Don Hahn]

We might definitely need them because. Never mind, Mike.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, we do. Cuz like beyond six, seven, that's one thing. But there's so many things. Like the other day I saw someone doing like a goof about, you know how kids talk and they were like giving. It was a guy giving talking to this generation about the way they communicate and he used all their stuff and it made you realize how much they have. Like it's actually one of the most slang laden generations I can recall. It's, it's there. They're really out of control. I mean, a lot of it's just copycat regurgitation of stuff we've seen in the past, but some of it's not. And it is interesting. We can easily just write it off as ridiculous, which it is. But that's, that's doing the disservice avoiding.

Glasses up to enjoying Telemurdu responsibly and I can tell you who's playing in that game. By the way, speaking of basketball, did you guys see that Payne, the best player for my Terps. His injury the other day?

[Don Hahn]

No.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Oh. Look it up on Twitter. It sucked.

[Michael Kay]

He.

[Don Hahn]

He.

[Peter Rosenberg]

This. This happens, man. Right. I'm describe it to Allen and right away he'll know it's going bad. It was. I think it was a dunk that came off of the rim and he jammed it home but had momentum.

[Michael Kay]

Oh, I saw swing on the ring. I saw this fell and then he.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Split in a way.

[Michael Kay]

Do we. Is it a hip dislocation?

[Peter Rosenberg]

So that's what it looked like. I never heard the final.

[Michael Kay]

This done. This was gruesome to watch him.

[Don Hahn]

I don't want to look at.

[Michael Kay]

No, don't. He also must have had some damage to the undercarriage because he landed firmly on it and when the hip popped out, there's nothing stopping him.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So it was season ending.

[Michael Kay]

Oh, it has to be now. What was it? Hip dislocation.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Let's see, man. Pharrell Payne. He's the player everyone was most excited about. Terps then went on to win by the way. Off of pure momentum.

[Michael Kay]

That's a tough one. I mean the amount of pain he.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Must have been in, and in college basketball you have these, I mean these guys have a limited time to be.

[Michael Kay]

There and not really, not anymore.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah, I mean they're going to make.

[Michael Kay]

A rule where you can, you can do five and five. It's coming.

[Peter Rosenberg]

What do you mean five and five?

[Michael Kay]

Five years. It used to be you play four and five, they might give you five and five. Now that's, that's on the table.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I did five years in Maryland. I was at the radio station every year. So why not?

[Don Hahn]

I did six at Ramapo.

[Sponsor/Advertisement Voice]

You did six?

[Michael Kay]

Look at you. You Van Wilder, weren't you?

[Don Hahn]

Well, I basically.

[Michael Kay]

You took up residency there.

[Don Hahn]

I, you know those, the bloated, bearded Jim Morrison period.

[Michael Kay]

That was you?

[Don Hahn]

That, that was me my freshman year.

[Michael Kay]

So you were like, were you like the, the guru that the freshmen came to when like, like they needed stuff? You were the one that they came to?

[Don Hahn]

No, I was just a guy that went to a Catholic high school and now I was with girls and nobody, nobody taking attendance and nobody telling you your papers do and.

[Michael Kay]

Yeah.

[Don Hahn]

And I didn't have to shave every single day. And I just went zirko and basically almost flunked out my first year. That must have an academic probation right after the first semester.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So from the legitimate source, there was.

[Michael Kay]

A line that the, that the, that he said the fat drunk.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's too.

[Don Hahn]

There's no way to go through life, son. And that was me. But, but what I did was I spent. I would cut class like editing reel to reel stuff and you know, reading news in the, in the radio station. So I made it work to my advantage.

[Michael Kay]

Yes, you were doing the job. This is. I don't like. I didn't come here to play school.

[Peter Rosenberg]

So by the way, let me just correct that. It's not officially season ending. They haven't said what it is, but it just looked like it would be. It's pretty. They got him from Texas A and M. He was their best player.

[Don Hahn]

Well, certainly there was a major reason why you thought it was season ending, Peter. Because it wasn't.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Because it looked like nothing.

[Don Hahn]

And there's a lot of reasons why more people buy at Ramsey Mazda.

[Peter Rosenberg]

It's their selection.

[Don Hahn]

The way you do these in segment. I'm trying to make a work.

[Peter Rosenberg]

I thought it should have been a drop. I wanted to just hear the one he did earlier because it was such a special. Oh, it's there. Hold on. Listen to the one he did earlier. I have it right here. Listen. Listen to this. Tell me this is a transit and turn down current Don because I don't want them. I don't want the noise from Tampa to get in way the. All right. Listen to Don's transition earlier into a.

[Don Hahn]

Hess read they do. Unless it's just to the point now that it's. Hey, whatever the players want. Players want to do a level.

[Michael Kay]

Oh, God, no.

[Don Hahn]

I mean, you hate to think that because.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Because I was.

[Don Hahn]

I was just thinking. I was thinking about the Hess toy truck.

[Michael Kay]

Come on.

[Peter Rosenberg]

That's. Come on. That's playing at a different speed than me and Al are playing. We're not. We're playing the same game, but it's.

[Michael Kay]

It's. Yeah. No, no. This is. He's. He's got them. He's in the Matrix. It's all ones and it's zeros and ones now for Don. That's all he sees right now.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You know, it's slowed. The game slowed down.

[Michael Kay]

Slowed down.

[Peter Rosenberg]

You know. You know those days when Jordan would tell you, like, the hoop was just this big. Like, it's just.

[Michael Kay]

He's just chucking it. He's. He's Mahomes right now. He sees the X's and O's out there. He's not seeing people.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Yeah.

[Don Hahn]

Batter. And the ball's like a beach ball right now. I can't help but hit it so easy.

[Peter Rosenberg]

Man. Oh, my gosh. I got news.

[Michael Kay]

Oh, big news.

Yeah, the governor of Maryland. His person just reached out and said, peter, any chance you can come to our. The governor. Let me see if the direct quote was the governor would like you. Hold on, let's see. Because that would be. I hope that's what it was. Or I'm playing myself.

Thanks to John, Jenna. But I want. Wanted to send you an invite for the governor's Hanukkah reception.

He can't help it. We need the gong right now. Wow. So you tell me he's on deck? Yeah, he's on deck.
