 Michael out of all the guests that we've had on this show you are probably the most engaged with your audience So we're going to give the fans a little bit more and go even deeper into some of your photos and videos that you post Okay, you ready? Let's do it First one big mic right here, that's large Mike Stanley Cup you're looking like you could have been on the Ross right there. Wow. Maybe back of goalie It's funny Don McGregor looked at that and he goes, you know, not many people in the world actually get way better looking as they get Only goes you were a wreck then but I must have been like 260 270 pounds That was obviously 94 Rangers brought the cup in and that was before they actually said you can't touch the cup so I just lifted it up and Yeah, I'm living large right there. Hey, man, but you look good You look like you could have been a back of goalie. Maybe Nick a lot of hobby ballin, right? I think I look like I could have been a backup center in football So next post speaking of next you got the nice turtleneck going matching with mark messier Ranger great. What's this plan? No, it wasn't planned He was coming in and I remember I put the turtleneck on and the leather jacket and Peter Rosenberg Just gave me grief. He said all that so not so not cool Turtlenecks aren't in and I said you're telling me what's not in and then messier walks in It was like the epitome of cool and he had on almost the same outfit except that his jacket was brown and mine was black And I knew I nailed it Did you get a chance to show him this photo? No, I did not So we have seen you in the Rangers gear and the helmet. I wish you that picture We just we just got to know a little bit more about this one right here. Well, this is on Twitter. Yeah, I am Don and I before Peter joined the show Football vets every year and I lost the bet and my bet was to go to a ranger game a full ranger uniform I had full ranger pants on too and I had a sit in the stands and people were taking pictures with me And I look like a complete jerk But the cool part was I was sitting there just feeling like awful and out of the blue James Dolan What he never walks through the stands at the garden walked right down sat on the steps next to me It was just talking to me because you know, I was bringing such attention With you know, I'm shy Oh, yeah, yeah, he said he just sat down. Why are you dressed like that? I mean it was like the full guy had gloves and everything That's what you do when you lose a bet, right? Hey and a good Halloween costume, too, right? Absolutely in the back Which your wife she looks great in the Rangers colors, too Here she is in a hockey socket. This was a gift to her the ranger sent that and obviously I wasn't gonna wear it And she just put it on and you know the the thing with Jody She she looks good in everything she wears so she actually pulled that off pretty good But yeah, she looks she looks pretty good that yeah, that's in our house Did you ever want to get into hockey broadcast? You know what? I don't know hockey at all I mean, thank God Don is there on the radio show. I don't know hockey at all I mean I try and it's fun to go to live But I mean you you've got to really push me to just watch it on TV. I just don't get it I don't get it's like soccer on ice. So speaking of What is he wearing in this photo? What's he's wearing is something unfortunate. It's just I mean we spent like three days just killing him on the show About this. I mean the horse looks great. Don looks awful. I mean he just I Don't know what to say without really insulting him Two sizes too small the helmet looks like it looks like an eraser. I mean just I mean, what do you think it's dreadful? Was this a lost bet? No, he did this for charity He'd take part in a harness race at the meadowlands all the time And I said you should you doing something nice for somebody and then you ended up looking like that That's a loose loose All right, here you are so you love baseball so much that you not only broadcast the games But when you have an opportunity to go watch a game You're right there man. Well, this was in Cleveland and we had a Saturday off and I asked Ben To blow it some be Yankees if he had any tickets I didn't want to sit in the press box. And so he gave us these great tickets like three rows from the Dog out and I want with Mike Madden and Luke Miller and we had a great time We really did have a good time was a great day and I love the little hot dog dancing up there So all good perspective. Yeah, absolutely. And you know when you sit there when when you do in the games You know you're working there's pressure on you you want to make it enjoyable for other people But here you realize why you fell in love with the game in the first place So I thought it was great. So you grab a beer popcorn hot dog. I had a beer I had a good man I had peanuts because you know I try to keep low carb and I had you know, Nicole Vulture more low carb But yeah, and the other guys had some beers as well. So you had a good time So you don't want to go back to Stanley Cup Mike at all. No If I want carbon you'd be you'd have Stanley Cup Mike in about a year Next so we're talking about broadcasting This was a very very special moment for you an amazing photo that was captured to yourself and your kids inside This is one of my favorite pictures. I actually get choked up looking at it. They were sitting on my lap and I Was doing the play-by-play and they were cool They were keeping quiet and somebody hit a homerun. So I did the whole see you and when I said it That was their reaction. They turned around immediately when I said see it because they heard heard it on TV And just the joy on their faces and Charlie and Callie and our stage manager Audrey DeWyce snapped that and Jody took that picture and blew it up and it's in my office at home. It's like one of my favorite pictures of all time Look at look at his face. So amazing. Yeah, usually that's a pretty Common question that I'll ask is this photo framed in your house and this one actually is it's blown up and framed and Jody didn't you know I'm a low life. I don't know how to do stuff like that, but she actually put in a beautiful frame. It's matted. It's it's one of my favorite things in my office so They even put the headset on at one point to just broadcasting in their future. They look like naturals, you know what Charlie doesn't really good See ya He actually when I when I was at the surgery. He was the one who was doing the play-by-play in the house At the wall Oh To my normal Callie has told me many times That she wants to be famous, but she just doesn't know how to become famous So I think she kind of likes it when the camera's around Charlie's a little bit a little bit more shy But Callie definitely has some hand on her for sure and that was actually I was at the beach bash for the radio show And I couldn't talk that day Like just went there to you know shake hands with fans and all and they were sitting on my lap and they were enjoying it So you had some great feelings. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. Maybe it could be like the You know the Albert family or the Buck family or the the Brennan family who knows you never know you never know Yeah, that's not good Let's just swipe by that So we started the show talking about how you engage with your fans all the time and This photo you had actually asked your fans. Who's got the bigger head you or mr. Matt well I think mr. Matt wins by just a little bit, but the one thing I want to make very clear to your audience I don't have a big head. I have a long face. It's a completely different animal I tell this to O'Neil all the time now mr. Matt has a really big head I have a really long head, so I have almost like a mr. Ed head So once you got Instagram, you had posted this photo And then the next one you had to repost this photo Because again You even made a joke about the size of your head. Mm-hmm now you can see the top of my large noggin still learning to grab So you really do kind of like you got to embrace it If it's a flaw embrace it if you try to hide it It's just gonna be accentuated So I think I take the edge off of people because that's what when you read the mentions and I don't read the mentions that much It's always about head. So Yeah, and now you're good. That was the first one of the first pictures I posted on Instagram And I didn't know that you could frame it. I'm new to this. I think Meredith put me on Instagram That's right. Yeah, and I still don't know how like if you really want to like I'll post individually on Twitter and Instagram because you have to be on Facebook in order to have it You know just automatic and I'm not on Facebook because the people that I don't know from high school I don't want to know them. So I don't want to be on Facebook So I actually post them individually on Instagram and Twitter. So you will shout out to Meredith and Rock But it's also great follow on Twitter great face book She set them up and that's actually one of the reasons or one of the ways that we're getting all this awesome content Which this one right here. This is off your beautiful feet, huh? I was hoping maybe show the dad bod No, no, you know, I don't do anything. I've seen on On Instagram. This was this was just I'll tell you the five weeks that I was out with the surgery There was a long time. I was just like feeling sorry for myself So, I mean people go you're lying by the pool. How awful could that be? It was terrible I mean, it wasn't a vacation because you're thinking about, you know your professional mortality and whether you'd be able to talk again and I remember Phil Jackson took a picture like this After he got fired and I said, let me channel some Phil Jackson here And I just took a picture of my feet and and I think that the caption that was I'd still rather be working at any Other given time. This has got to be one of the most relaxing things for you to do right in the backyard It is it is and the kids were in camp then so it was you know, it was really relaxing because when the kids are out there I'm just watching them. You don't you know, you want to make sure they're okay And you know Charlie still wasn't swim great calories like a fish But this is relaxing when it's just me out there and you know, obviously my little unicorn float That's right. I was gonna say I think I see four floats out there one two three four Yeah, that means one for each of you. So which one is yours? I think the pink one that's that's the one that really works for me This is a great photo beautiful Where was this that was like a birthday gift from Jody to me and I don't like Napa, but Jody gave herself a gift essentially So this is like yeah, this is like I think During Super Bowl week and we were doing the radio show out there So she came out and we went to Napa and I really like that picture. I think it's pretty cool I'm not a cool guy, but that's a pretty cool look. You're cool. Yeah GQ right? Yeah. Well, she do have some acting experience. That's big. That's big I mean, I'm surprised I got bypassed for an Oscar nomination, but that was my coach coach Romy role in grown-ups, too Adam Sandler was on center stage and I just came right out and asked him How about a role in one of your movies because he does put people in his movies all the time and I just thought he forgot and like I don't know six months later He called my house. I said, yeah, listen, I can't do an imitation I wrote I wrote something for you and I remember I drove to Boston where they were doing it and He couldn't have been greater and they treated me like I was a star of the movie They all came into the trailer and they're talking Yankees and stuff like that And he had lines for me and everything and that was an unbelievably Fun experience and I'll tell you what people always ask out when you meet famous people how they are He's the best Sandler is like he's just so down to earth and so real and keeps his word and It's hard not to like it. He stopped by the booth a couple times. Just to say hi I didn't even know who was at the ballpark and he stopped by and he said hi and you know The center stage I did with it was one of the favorite ones He's just a real dude, you know, a lot of people that are famous or actors It's kind of a veneer not him. That's him. That's the kid that grew up in you know I guess Long Island amazing became like really filthy rich When I was watching the movie at the time and then you had popped up on the big screen and it's almost like oh, hey Okay, yeah, it's a cool thing to have been having the history books for you I thought I was brilliant, too. Do you think so? I think I nailed every line I think you can definitely be in another movie in the future. Absolutely. Yeah, I've got that on my IMD I All right, so final photo Robax, okay. You got to tell us a little bit more about this look That's cool picture day. I think it was maybe third or fourth grade. That's a that's a big mop man Look at that hair. I wish I had it now, but yeah As Don McGregor said I've aged pretty well because I was one ugly looking kid Look at that man. I used to call it. You're too young for this But remember the part just family. Oh, yeah, Danny Bonaducci twin that up. That's Danny Bonaducci Danny Bonaducci. It's not great. Man. I'm just a lot of hair though. You couldn't get your hands with that So we see all your fun videos and photos that you post What would you say in your opinion is your favorite part about social media with Twitter Instagram? You know what I used to I used to look at it as an adversary I really did you know like for people to dive into the cesspool and attack And for the most part it's really a useful tool And you can see what people are feeling and if you're doing things that are annoying people and you might not even think it's annoying people It's good feedback. It really is. I mean you want feedback from your bosses But you're also trying to to make the people out of watching or listening happy So I'm not looking to like butt heads with people and I tell you what Matthew in the last last three years Twitter and Instagram has been all positive even if there's not as much negative stuff I don't know because I'm not sending out the negative vibes. I used to go back at people said something nasty now I just you know, okay That's their feeling whatever and I look at and also for Twitter anybody that's in this business that fights me in on Twitter They're not getting information in real time. I mean that is information in real time if you follow the right people You're getting breaking news. It's invaluable for me on the radio show. I stay off of it during the game I might look at it, you know doing between innings one of them off the air But it's great. It really is it's great interaction with fans and it's also it tells you what they're thinking I think that's important. You can't ignore your audience. I mean those are the people that that pay your salary I know that sounds cliche, but those are people that pay yourself And you really do a great job with filling those fans in with all the original content that you put out In my opinion, it's actually very impressive because a lot of people usually just send out text Whatever you're actually giving visuals for people to see and get to know you better I I really think I used to feel this way growing up a Yankee fan I felt like Bill Rizzuto and Frank Messer and Bill White. We're almost part of my family I always say there were four male voices heard in my house my dad and those three guys Mm-hmm, and you know, I just want to let them in you know, sometimes I never want to overexpose my kids I'm not looking to make my kids famous, but I want them to be part of the family I mean I'm part of their family 150 games a year and then on the radio almost you know every weekday during the year So I just want them to feel like they're part of it So and this is a this is a great forum to do that. All right. Well now's the time for the plug What do you have to offer and watch people follow you? All right? Here's the deal man You're gonna know about me. You're gonna know what I feel you're gonna get promos on the radio show You're gonna know when the games are starting to know who I'm working with and you'll get a little shot of you know Callie and Charlie know growing up and Jody and every time I post a picture of Jody imagine every time. Oh, you're over in your skis. How'd you score that? So that did you by the way Personality that's the key. That's why you have a beautiful wife. Thank you. Thank you. I guess we're both doing something Well, thank you so much and yeah, definitely looking forward to more posts and shoot the sky follow that good stuff
