 Well, the last time we had on John J. Philippelli, he's the president of production and programming. He pretty much shut down that Don and Peter should be in the booth for a Yankee Spring Training Game. Anthony, do you have the money quote from Flip from that day? Let me think about it. No. All right. So there it was. No. Now, I've been talking with Flip a lot since that day. People on social media have clamored for Don and Peter to be given a chance. And Mr. Philippelli, his friends call him Flip, is nice enough to come back on the show and maybe just maybe reconsider. Flip, how are you doing today? Michael, I'm doing really well. It's hard not to really do well. Like tonight we have the Yankees at 6.30, Ruko and Conan will be calling that game. Tomorrow we have the net coverage starts at 7.30, we're playing Celtics. We have a new app at AppOut. It's awesome. I'm just watching it. The video quality is tremendous. Once you authenticate, you get everything that the Yes Network has. You have to watch games, pre-games, post-games, wherever you are, you get everything and it's the video quality is amazing. So I'm having a really, really good day and I'm coming on to have a conversation with you, Peter, and I hope Don because the last time was very difficult. And I liked Don personally but he traumatized me to the point where I had lawyers calling me want to represent me and it was unbelievable the outpouring from the public in my defense for just kind of being the guy that I am coming on and wanting to engage with you guys and have a dialogue about doing a game and it was very difficult but I'm past that now. I'm past what happened. I'm in a good mood. Well, you've got to be charitable in life and I'm trying to be charitable and I like Don personally. I just, the red just was a little difficult but I put that aside and I'm here and I'm here to discuss the game. I like rational flip. So do I. Where is rational? Is rational here anywhere? As long as rational is here, we're good, I'm good. So flip, I mean, if you wanted to come back on and have a conversation, that leads me to think that something inside of you, whether it be your gut or the fact that you've been hearing from people, I would imagine you're not coming back just to say, Hey, screw you two in your face. No, again. So tell me what you're thinking right now. I went from that to like, I'm on the fence. So I mean, but I could be had like you didn't have me as a lot of people, I mean, I might be had but you've got something you've got to say to me though, a sweetness to the point where just assuaged me that this is the right decision on my part if I go forward with this. Okay. Okay. So let me be Mariano here. Let me. We've known each other. I don't know why we trust you to take the ball right now. Why don't you just pipe down and let me try to close this deal. Okay, Peter. All right. Because you didn't really see. How about flip? I know that the Make-A-Wish Foundation is a dear important part of your family and you are on the board of directors in the town that you live and you and your wife, Jenna, do great work and raise a lot of money over the years. How about if we put a charitable element that somehow, some way, all of us here at 9870 ESPN and the ESPN has that we raise some money for the charity of your choice, which I'm sure would be Make-A-Wish, if you could get Don and Peter in the booth. You know, it's hard to say no to that. I can't say no to that because that's already so awesome and they do such a great job and it is dear and dear to my heart and my Jenna's heart, so yeah, yeah, okay. I'm relenting. I'm going to relent now. You're really going to put them on the air? Well, I mean, I'm not putting them on the air without you in there. I mean, so, I mean, I need some kind of safety net just in case, you know. Oh, I'd be glad to do it. Don goes into a rant. I don't know what's going to happen. We make you lose our license. I mean, I can't have that happen, so Michael, you've got to make sure that Don has to wish to get Don. Also, I'm not for nothing, but we do have a facial hair policy, you know, and you might you have to shave. I mean, we like people. This year and had a nice gorgeous goatee, so that's not how you know what he had one that past tense. That's gone. Wow. John, you know, you know, so there's no more of that. So anyway, we could discuss that in another time, but maybe there's a negotiation there. We'll see. We'll see where that goes. But yeah, all right. So, all right. So how about this? I mean, I'll give you an ending. And you know what? Hey, Flip. Yeah. I want to. Yeah, I don't want to. An ending feels. Yeah, you get warmed up. It takes an ending to get warmed up. Right. You have to get warmed up. He's an ending. All right. You know, not because Don asked. I mean, almost despite the fact that Don asked, I'm going to say, okay, to the two innings. All right. Wow. Now, guys, don't. Well, what if... Don't press your luck here. What if we can get something where the more the money goes up for Make-A-Wish? Right. Yeah. That maybe a third ending is possible if we can generate enough money. If while we're doing the broadcast, we're talking up Make-A-Wish and the money keeps rolling in, you keep us longer. Well, there'll come a point where I have to cap this. Listen, I am in no position. I know you really aren't, Don, but go ahead. Talk to me. No, more than three would be excessive. Yes. Yes. But we have had nine in a booth. That's my... Two is very generous and I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. This is something that I really respect and really would look forward and love to do. Two is an absolute charitable gift from you. But if I can get more money for Make-A-Wish to get a third... I think that... Don, it makes sense. But wait a minute. We're up against something too. The game that we're probably going to do is going to be an afternoon game during the week. So we've got to get off from our innings so we can start the show. That might be interesting. That might prove to be interesting. We can do it. We can do it. Maybe we can put something in there where people can actually pay money to Make-A-Wish to get us off of here. That's also a good idea. You know what? Flip might open his chair. I would, actually. I might have to do that. Wow. All right. So let's go with this. Let's go for now. Let's go for two. And I'm open possibly to the third depending on how the first two go. All right. So there's an option. It's my option for a third depending on how this is going. And depending, you know, if Hal is calling me or Randy is calling me, he'll have me executed depending on how this goes. But I'm going to go. Let's go with the two and we'll take it from there. How's that? It's unbelievable. In all seriousness, Flip, this is really an honor. Thank you so much. I'm happy to do this. I want you guys, I want, if that's a dream of yours, everybody should have their dreams come true. Wow. Because of that, all your dreams, Michael, I know Michael has had all his dreams come true. And I know Peter has had both of his dreams come true, Don, I don't know about you. But this may help. This may help put you where you want to be in terms of dreams. And if you're nervous, Flip, you know a lot of people call the New York Jets, call the New York Rangers. Yeah. You've got references. And they will tell you that I'm professional and I don't rant and I don't go off the rails. He can do that with you. He has nobody to call for Peter. This is a huge, huge risk. But I think, I really think Flip's more concerned about me. Yeah, me too. You know, I just, if Peter could make the transition from the genre that he was in to this genre and do it successfully, I'm okay with Peter. I wasn't always okay with Peter, but now Peter and I are like really tight and we're closer. You know, we go out a lot together. We do things together. We have a good relationship. Wow. Michael, you and I are like brothers. And you know, and Don and I were close until the rant, but you know, I'm over that now and I hope that we can rekindle the relationship now. Don, I think there was, we were frayed way before the rant because I think clearly you only have room in your heart for one of us. And the closer you've gotten to Peter, the more distant you've become with me. No. But we could change that, Don. I mean, I want to. I'm open to that. But standing, we, we, we can zoom a burger together, you know, we can get one zoom and have a. Oh, flip. Can I, can I be your lieutenant here for one minute? You could back me up. Now, Don and Peter, these broadcasts are platinum to us. I mean, the Yankee games on yes are very important to a lot of people. You can't go there and be clowns and juggle lives. You've got to prepare for this game. I see that you're being disrespectful. Now, flip, if you don't mind, I might rant on Michael. I will. I would rant on Michael because please, I would appreciate that. But the reality is I know you guys will be prepared. Thank you. You should realize this is a big opportunity for you. Not only are you on the yes network, but you'll be on our app, which has got great video quality. I've heard about this app. I'm hearing it's tremendous. It's everything on the network, everything you never want from yes. You can get in that app. So please go if you don't go out and download it, put it where you get to get it, where you get your podcasts and get all your apps and all those things, wherever you get those things, go get it. Because it's awesome. We'll take care of that. You want to rant? Go ahead. Go ahead, Don. Good turn. I just can't believe that Michael would even ask that question. How disrespectful is that? That you think that I would treat the Yankees as some clown show when you saw 16 years pre and post for the Jets? This is a winning organization, Don. Backing up Kenny Albert? It's a great one. I did game one of the Stanley Cup finals. True, you did. You did. Wow. But I don't have a man avatar on my Twitter. I'm a very professional broadcaster that just has a lot of emotional issues. You know, Flip once taught me something, and Flip, you got your answer shut up. Stop. That's what I was going to do. Right? That's what you taught me, Flip. You get your answer, you move on. Take yes for an answer. Take yes for an answer. Any way you download the app, it's awesome. You've got to try it. You've got to go get the yes app. But have you said that? Yes. Take yes for an answer. You've got yes. We're going to do it. I can't believe that you've relented on this. I'm thrilled about it. It's going to be great. It's going to be fun. And also, by the way, all kidding aside, the app is fantastic. I mean, I downloaded it today, and it's fantastic. And when the guys do these innings, you're going to be able to watch it on the app. That may be the only time you can. I may strike it from the app. Wow. Thank you. But you know what? I'm not going to do that. You're going to be on that. In your glory, you're going to be on our app. And you're going to be on the yes network. And you're going to get a chance to do a game, a couple of innings of a game. And you know what? That'll be fun. And you know what? You guys are professionals. You've been in the business a long time collectively, a lot of years now. And you know how to act. And I know you'll be prepared. And you'll have a great producer in Troy Benjamin, who's like the best. And you'll have Derek Bosnack, you know, monitoring you, which you got healthy. Good luck with that. Because he just monitors everything. But he's awesome. So you're going to get great supervision. And you'll get great input. And I know you guys will be do stellar work. I have no doubt. I'm very excited about it. Well, thank you. This is very exciting. Thank you. Thank you for the app. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Did I tell you about the app? You told us about the app. Did you bring along a card? I did all that. All right, guys. Take care. Thanks for that. Don't ever change. All right. Don't ever change. All right. That was nice. I frankly, I'm flabbergasted. I can't believe it. You guys are going to be doing a thank you game. And that's very interesting piece here, Don, is understanding what happened behind the scenes. Because I talked to Flip last week. We didn't say very much about this situation. We had a nice conversation. All of a sudden, Michael started saying Flip wants to come back on. So I'm trying to understand what must have happened here. Well, maybe it was our listeners and our fans and our family because there was an outcry. All the good networks listen to what their viewers have to say. Why can't you just take what Flip taught you? Take yes for an answer. Just shut up. Don't worry about how I'm sorry. We analyze things on this show. Yeah, we do analyze things. We got a flat-out no, and then Peter asked a very intelligent question. Well, when Peter bites into a nice Italian sausage, okay, does he worry about what's in it? No, he doesn't care what's made. No. I just enjoy that sweet sausage. But the critic analyzes it. That's what we do. We critique everything, including ourselves. All right, let's let's let's let's let the shower over us and then we'll towel off because this is huge news.
