00:03 And look, three wins in a row.

00:04 He's actually won the NFC Offensive Player of the Week this week as well, Scotty.

00:09 So how about all the fame?

00:10 You know, and it's not just him.

00:12 His family with the tailgates, the agent with the dope he had out there on Monday night before the game.

00:17 Everybody's getting a little sliced right now with Tommy Cutlets.

00:22 Dad trained you when you were young, correct?

00:25 Yep.

00:25 Has he told you recently how proud he is?

00:29 Yeah, he does all the time.

00:32 He's a proud dad, rightfully so.

00:34 But I just continue just to try to give back to them, always.

00:38 Has anything surprised you about how much attention they're getting and how much the story outside of you has evolved?

00:45 Honestly, no.

00:47 I know how it is in the area, especially when things took off, especially with the whole Italian stuff.

00:54 Social media is a crazy place.

00:55 Things catch fire real quick.

00:56 So it took off and I try to keep going.

01:01 It's simple.

01:02 He's in New York and there's more Italians than you can shake a stick at.

01:07 And he's winning.

01:09 And that's all it took.

01:11 Look, and I think it matters, too, Scotty, when you think like one thing, the way people are embracing him, too, is people like New York.

01:18 He's a New York kid, New Jersey kid playing in the New York area.

01:22 And people love that about him.

01:25 He understands the market.

01:26 The fans understand him growing up in the area.

01:29 I think that that's what really makes it something special.

01:32 Giants are getting six in New Orleans coming up this Sunday.

01:36 Maybe they win again, Scotty.

01:38 I like the six.

01:40 You could tease that with something else as well.

01:42 I think they'll be in this game.

01:44 I think the Saints are average as a rainy day.
