Where do you put this, though, Don, for you? Because, I mean, it is acdc, right? Right. So, like, I know you probably have a high regard for acdc. I, I, I have a regard. A regard. It's not a high regard. Okay. I thought you had a high regard. I like them, but I'm not like, my brother's like. So ACDC to you is sort of. You'd put them in the category of the Guns N Roses and all them. Right. Like, you don't feel glam rock. You call it hard. It's definitely not glam rock. Well, you know what I mean. Like, it's not, it's not the Poison. No. Right. And you know. Yeah. You know, Pretty Boy Floyd or anything like that. No, no, but it's not the metal that you listen to. Metal that makes people cry. Yes. Like, that's what the metal. You like the music that makes you. Oh, that was Johnny Ninama. Okay, but, but no, you like the metal that not makes you cry because it's emotional, makes you cry because it's scary. That's what you. A death metal, thrash metal, for sure. Speed metal, whatever you want to call it. Yeah. AC DC falls in the category of Aerosmith, Van Halen, you know, hard rock. There's hard rock. I don't hate that they're not metal. You can play AC DC at a metal station, nobody's gonna bat an eye. Right. But I kind of put that more into the hard rock category. Is that fair? That's very fair. Very fair. But this was one of those classic arena songs just getting people going. Didn't like, I am more of a Bon Scott fan than a Brian Johnson fan. Yeah, that's fair. I, but I do like for those about to Rock, that's probably the last ACDC album that I really cared about. So the first two albums with Brian Johnson were back in black. And for those about to rock. And then. And then I was out. So the thunderstruck and, you know, not a fan. Yeah. They became a little more mainstream by that point. Right. All right, 800. Now we're nine, three, seven, six. Here we go. We've kind of hit everything today, haven't we? We're covering it all. We're doing it all. We're doing the bull dance. But we. We have now. Doing the what? The bull dance. I'm not familiar. Yeah, you are. Of course you are. The bull dance. Doing the bull dance. Feeling the flow. Tappy Gilmore, man. Of course you're with. All right. I knew you didn't leave me. Feeling the flow. Kevin Nealon, baby. Yeah, he's. He's very. When we were discussing the Knicks and their whole situation, right, The. The. This is. This is rock bottom. At least you got to hope it is. By the way, they play the Nets tomorrow. I think they've won like, 10 or 11 in a row against the Nets. Now, the Nets are one of these, like, you know, they have a great coach, Jordy Fernandez. They're very good coaching staff people. The whole idea is they're supposed to be losing. They don't want to win. But Fernandez doesn't want to hear this crap because he's a coach and he's coaching them up, and, like, they're really feisty. And so the last thing you want if you're the Knicks and you lose this game tomorrow, like, this better be rock box, Right? So this is why Another. Another. Not. Must win. Must win. Oh, God, it is. But after the game, as we'll hear from Ramona Shelburne, that the Knicks had what you would expect would happen after a performance like that, where after the media left, Jalen Brunson closed the doors and all the players got in there, and they had one of these players only meetings. Yeah, you heard Jalen Brunson say that. I'd be booing us, too. Well, after the game, Jalen Brunson called a players only meeting for all the guys in that locker room and said, guys, we got to stop looking at the coaching staff for answers. We got to stop looking elsewhere. The answers to what is wrong with us right now are right in this locker room. We've got to look in the mirror. And. And it was. From what I. It was a longer meeting. A lot of people had something to say about what was going wrong. But this. A team that came in thinking they had a chance of its finals or bust, right? That's they have those kind of expectations and to, to fall to 25 and 18 right now. They. You could, you could see them in the play in if they keep going this way. That offense which was humming bottom five in January. Right. So again, players only meetings, this kind of stuff, sometimes you look at it and kind of give, you know, like a side eye to it. And sometimes you're like, all right, well, you know, this is saying something. How do we feel about Jalen Brunson calling this meeting? Like, where, where, where what? Are we going to grade this thing? Is this like, yeah, this had to happen. He's being a leader or does this feel cliche? How could you be anti. How could anyone have something to say about it? Sometimes it also feels cliche, like, oh, you're just doing it because you know you have to. It's a bad loss, but it's not going to change anything. It's not going to do anything, but you got to do something. Right? And yeah, it might be cliche, but this is the cliche thing to do and the timing is perfect. Going up against the team Tomorrow, you've beaten 11 straight times. Like, so you don't, you don't want to do this going into OKC where you end up playing great and losing. You want to make sure you win the next game. Rallying. We will win. But I'll tell you this because I'm sure a lot of net fans are all on board for tanking and all that, but if you're a net fan and you hate the Knicks, how badly do you want to beat them tomorrow? Absolutely. When you see things falling apart, player only meeting and you go out there and you beat them tomorrow. Well, just for fun, man, it gives you something to live for. Absolutely. Like, if you're. Think about it. That's why I said Jody Fernandez, he's, he's a bulldog man. Like, I really have great respect for him as a coach. If you don't think that he's got that message in the ears of his players like, they have owned us for years now. Yeah, we're going to walk in their place. We're going to make their fans boo them, we're going to watch them turtle and we're going to walk out of there with a dub. It's going to be our Super Bowl. I. I've talked to the. One of the Nets fans. We found. We found one. He found one. Joe Leo. Oh, yes. He desperately wants to be. He wants bad. Yeah, he does. Oh, he said very badly. Very badly.

That was tough. Yeah. Is he in tomorrow? Is he around? He ain't in tomorrow. Come on you have today. He's like Matt Damon. All right, bring Joe in. Let's. I want some trash talk. I want some Nets fan trash talk. I don't know if he's gonna try it. Oh, I think he should. No, no, he wants it bad. Here he is. Here comes Jolio. And he is a Nets fan. Nets fan in New York in the flesh. There is one. And you now have the opportunity, like the Knicks fans want to believe that yesterday was rock bottom. You have the ability to take it to depths that no one could even consider. How bad do you want this game tomorrow? Oh, extremely badly. Because to net fans that this is all we have. We don't have a North Star. We don't have playoffs. We didn't have the NBA cup or the play in tournament. No, you have to take the minuscule wins like the win against Boston Peter Celtics in December or November. That was a nice win where MPJ was basically KD reincarnated for three hours. That win will get me to June. This is all I have. Wow. Yeah. But. But yet it could cost you whatever. We have your draft. Stop with that. Yeah, it's not that good. Doesn't matter. We could trade it for something and it's not the end of March. Trouble. You gotta win some games. You might as well win this. No, I see. I'm kidding. Because when you brought up Porter Jr. It's funny how he's really playing well and he's building up some serious trade value that I'm sure will happen right February 6th. But it's funny that fans are like, dude, you're playing great. Can you. Can you dial it back? Like there is this kind of concern of you're playing too well. But am I right about Fernandez, about your coach? He's like, damn the tank. I want to win games. Well, we saw it last year where Shaw Mark sold off half the team in December because they were winning too many games. So Jordy is in a very interesting position where he has to win enough games to keep his job, but not too many because we're going to ruin draft position even though it doesn't matter at all. Because the Dallas mavericks with a 0.2% chance can just walk into the lottery and get Cooper flag. So maddening it. This is the position that all net fans are in that we have to tweet at Michael Porter Jr. To please not be too good of a player in an all star. Even though I want to keep them and a lot of net fans want to keep him around. You do want to Keep him. I want to keep him. All right, all right, so here's what I need to know. Now, you want this win bad tomorrow night. What are you willing to do to get this win? Yeah, what. What could you do? And if it does happen, what. What's like. What's the craziest thing that you. You can. Like, what can happen? Is it a pinky toe game? Oh, yeah. This could be a pinky toe. If I had a cigar, you know, a cigar cutter. And I had. I was like, give me one of the piggies. That's it. And I'll give you this dub. But one of them's got to go. I'm just gonna chop right down. You don't. You won't feel it because it's really quick. Which. Which. Are you willing to do it? Yeah, I think I am. Oh, there you go. That's it. That's how big this is to Nets fans. All right, let's put a face on it. That's winning. Tomorrow would be like dating who I like. This is tough. A Bella Danger. Well, I can't go. A Bella Danger. That's too easy. That's a soft one sitting right there for it. He said a softball, as if that would. If that would be a real thing, that would be a problem. Sydney Sweeney, maybe. Oh, come on. That's big of a game. Look at this. We don't have Allen. We don't all the way to thing. We have it open tomorrow. I might almost, like, want him to get this. Alan, think back, like, 2015 and how bad those seasons were and how much, like, how minuscule stuff actually seemed. Bigger than it actually was. This. This win, in the grand scheme of things is not going to change the overall direction of this franchise, but it's at least something. It gives you a night. It gives you a night. Okay, we don't have any. We don't have any. All right, all right. Joe gives you a night. Thank you. I guess Dom was done with Joe. I had more fun. I'm good. Oh, my God. Well, Joe, you had a good run. Former net fan, by the way. A net fan. If anything, I relate to Joe because I'm a Jets fan and I saw it in his eyes when the Dolphins came in. Remember how I was. This is the last one. I want this. I want it because, you know, the hell with them. And. And it didn't work out. Clown show. Clown show. Last call, crew. I just got an update. Major League Baseball rescinded Andrew Jones. They said they thought it was Chipper Jones. They didn't even mean it. They didn't mean to do it. Wrong. Jones, Caldwell, Jones, even. Yeah, yeah. Because Andrew Jones, you look at the numbers, you go, really? Yeah, I guess. Okay, he's in. All right. All right. Don Roseberg, ESPN New York Come to DSW for the shoes, Stay for the fun.

All right, I'm thinking before we call it a day today, and it's been a really fun day and Don's going to continue to have a fun night in edmo. That's what the kids call it. You know, I've never heard that. Yeah, Edmo. No, I'm pretty sure. No, no, it's a real don. Ask people. The kids call it edmo. Don. Don't ask anyone. I've never heard. I want you to ask him. It's called edmo. Are you gonna show up to Grant fear's house or not? I don't know. Where does he still live there? I have no idea. I bet he is. He's a stalwart. Edmonton Stalwart. That's right. You don't hear that word used a lot. No, stalwart is like an old school word. I used stalwart quite a bit. Quite a bit. I got to tell you, I probably not always in your lexicon. Oh, I use stalwart weekly. Weekly. Weekly. Well, last time you used stalwart before today. Honest to God. Last time within last not calling a wrestling match. You can't because that you would do it there. I'm talking about in common conversation. Okay, sorry. You ruined it. Okay, when I'm doing. When I'm calling a wrestling match, I would say a stalwart of the women's division, a stalwart of the tag team division, whatever. Good usage. Thank you. All right. It's pretty good. All right, so before we call it a night, we can go roulette here. And I'm looking at the screen. I know, Peter, you are too. Not just your phone screen, but how about the call screen? Yeah, yeah, I've seen it. What do you think, Don? How about don, do you don't see the call screen right? No, I do not. Oh, dealer's choice. Ready? Door one, door two, door three or door four? Oh, door four. Door four it is. And that's Derek and Holbrook. Derek. Derek. Hey, we got you. Yes. Hey, guys, how's it going? I just want to bring up a point that I just think it's ridiculous how Carlos Beltran gets in the hall of Fame when he's, I think, correct me if I'm wrong, I think he was originated as the like organizer for the biggest MLB cheating scandal in history, I believe. Scandal. Anthony Pusick during the break was reading us chapter and verse about this. Yeah. So I just think it's ridiculous how he. How the writers. How the writers will vote him into the hall of Fame but not the steroid users. Well, and it kind of falls under the category of Gaylord Perry. I don't know how far back you go baseball wise, he threw a spitball, he cheated, and yet he was voted into the hall of Fame. So they're very selective with their cheating. There's obviously cheating categories. And the Mount Rushmore or the top of Mount Everest seems to be steroids. That's why it's a joke. It's become an absolute joke. And I want to know who they're catering to now. The elderly baseball fan. In my day, they never allowed it. But meanwhile, you've got a guy that was known spitball thrower in the hall of Fame, Carlos Beltran, involved in one of the biggest cheating scandals in the history of baseball in the hall of Fame. But steroids, I guess that's a bridge too far, right. Roger Clemens, a rod like these guys. Yeah. It's such a great point. Like, I don't know. I'm trying to think of where I would draw the line as absolutely should never, you know, death penalty. It's not steroids though. Throwing a game. Yeah, that's, that's the, the Pete Rose. But even, but even Pete Rose, you know, the argument is we don't have proof. Right. That he threw a game. Well, that's the way to. Gambling was just too close to the sun. Right. And what's different is also that he did such things as a manager. Right. I'm Billy actually finished in 1938, but the playing career was a separate entity that we can all agree. He's one of the great players in the history of the game. Beltron. What he did was the manager, right? Yep. He was, he was a, A coach. If not when he was a player, did he do those shenanigans. But in theory, Beltran, if Beltran helped orchestrate what he did. Cheating. Yeah, essentially. Yeah. That is worse to me than steroids. Steroids is not you doing something to. You're trying to be better with steroids. You're affecting your body. You're just trying to be great. Yeah, I agree with that. It's different. Game time. One more to do. Brought to you by Tullamore. Do Irish whiskey. Because when it's game time, Donnie, it's Tully time. Sure is. Rangers, they're also on the west coast. They're actually literally on the west coast. La. They take on the Kings. Coverage immediately follows Dan Grassa, who follows us. That covers begins at 9:30. The Devils tonight are in Edmo taking on the Oilers. I'm not going to ask anybody. No legreca, no msg. This will be on tnt. So Don's just gonna be in the building enjoying some hockey. Yeah, I wonder who's doing it for tnt. I'm. You'll know. You think it might be Brendan?
