Dave Rothenberg

... that's, that's me

... to the first question Dave asks Mel.

I'm actually looking forward to it.

Yeah?

Uh, yes.

I think Joe Leo's on the same page as me, right, Joe Leo?

No, I'm on the same page as Dave.

Yeah.

We had a day for you.

So listen, I think last week maybe there was a little bit of bridge work that needed to be done to do some investigation into Dave's past.

I had to send him some texts about some things in his history, but I think we've moved past that, and he's now accepted, I believe.

I'm welcomed into the New York Tech community.

One, we were talking yesterday.

Rick and I were talking, I think, about the Chargers.

And then I asked you, Dave, if you were selling some of your stock.

Yeah, I'm liquidating.

Joe, would you like a coffee?

Dave already got me one.

Yeah, I got him a beautiful coffee 'cause I'm generous.

Are you engaged yet?

Now, I don't know how the whole thing actually happened.

You got excited.

Aaron Boone was telling you some stuff, so you said, you know, "Judge 400." Dave sat on the-

Have you, have you told Boone how dissatisfied you are with him telling you that Judge was gonna hit 400 last year?

That's an interesting thing.

No, that was what Dave said to Luke.

Oh, yeah.

Luke just said congratulations.

word.

I'm annoyed.

He stayed for the whole thing, Dave.

The fourth quarter didn't start until like 11 o'clock.

Ready for week one.

Only taking questions from Dave also here.

That's fine.

It's the parameters of this interview.

That part of it stands out when you see it, and I think that'll be the case as we move forward here.

Jordan Arnott joins us here on the show.

Jordan, have they figured out special teams? I mean, it's one of the things that drives Dave most crazy about this team in the past.

Have they figured it out?

Jeremiah Love among them.

Mike McDaniel, he's the new offensive coordinator of the Chargers, who Dave loves.

Biggest line, as I said, Chargers by nine and a half.

This should be an offensive explosion, right? What? What?

This is real nice.

This is really nice.

So Cass came down this morning and turned on the TV, and the first thing that she texted me immediately, like the second she got on television, Dave's, wow, Dave, four exclamation points, background is fire.

Nice.
