1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: We lost a great friend and teammate over the weekend

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: when Nick Mangle passed due to complications from kidney disease.

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: The Jets drafted Nick in two thousand and six, and

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: he instantly became part of the fabric of the organization.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: He was a seven time Pro bowler, a two time

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: first team All Pro who started one hundred and seventy

7
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: one games at center, including seven postseason contests. Nick was

8
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: inducted into the team's Ring of an Honor in twenty

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: twenty two at halftime of the Jets Week three contest,

10
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: ironically against Cincinnati twenty twenty two. He is currently under

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Nick was

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: forty one, a loving husband of Jenny and a super

13
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: proud dad of four kids. He was a fixture here

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: at the facility and at met Life Stadium. We've shared

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: this space with him in the studio countless times. It

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: was important that he was a Jet and he was

17
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: around the building. He leaves an incredible lag legacy as

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,279
Speaker 1: a fun character with the flowing blonde hair, the legendary beard,

19
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 1: the backwards hat, the flip flops, and the smile. He

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: was an everyday man who just happened to be a

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: great football player, smart and tough and incredibly dependable. For

22
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: the past few years, Nick also has been part of

23
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: our content team. His superpower was connecting the people in

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: a huddle at a tailgate in the equipment room on

25
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: the set. He was larger than life, but not too

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: big for anyone. Nick was special. We're going to miss him,

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: but he'll have a long lasting impact forever. A Jet

28
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: number seventy four. We'll start there today with Nick's longtime

29
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: friend and teammate Bart Scott. All Right, brother, we when

30
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: to get to Baldy in a second and discuss this

31
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: current Jets team. But can you take me through your

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: weekend and and your thoughts. Immediately when you heard that

33
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: Nick had passed.

34
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: Man, it was tough, you know, you know, preparing for

35
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 2: my show.

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: Get a call from Willie about eight eight thirty and

37
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: tells me that we lost Nick.

38
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: And I'm like, what do you mean we lost Nick?

39
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 3: And he's like, he's gone, brother, you know, and it's

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: just like just like getting kicked in the chest, and

41
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: you know, understanding that a couple of weeks ago, you know,

42
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: on S and Y, I just you know, put out

43
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: a message that hey, if you can give me when

44
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: he announced that he was looking for a kidney, and

45
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 3: you just expect that it's going to be a positive

46
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: and happy outcome, right, you just know that, Hey, well,

47
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 3: you know.

48
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: We're going to have a couple of.

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 3: Organ drives and somebody somewhere is going to donate a kidney.

50
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: It's going to be a great story.

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: You know, you remember the Nate Robinson's story, Like, Oh,

52
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a great story. He's going to be fine.

53
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 3: You know, he'll be right back where he wants to.

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,399
Speaker 3: I mean, just imagine, like you know, last last year,

55
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 3: you know you said we still act like like like

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: cousins that it's always competing, you know what I mean.

57
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: It's like Roscoe Jenkins with with Martin Lawrence and and

58
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 3: Sisra entertainer, competing by who's better, who's more witty.

59
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: We go back and forth. You know. I used to

60
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: call him fat Thor, you know what I mean.

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: It was just like you know, but it was the

62
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: most loving fat thor you know, and we had so

63
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 3: much fun with each other, I mean directly, you know,

64
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: in the line of fire with each other. In practice,

65
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: you know, Uh, he was just a good dude.

66
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: Uh. We had a lot of fun.

67
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: He was a great teammate, great leader, and it was

68
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 3: just tough to handle, you know, and to have to reflect,

69
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 3: you know, you know, it's probably like my fourth time

70
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 3: having to sit down on a platformer and reflect. Of course,

71
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: having to reflect you know, when it happened, but then

72
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: you know, on my show and then here, you know,

73
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 3: it makes it a little easier because you look at

74
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: it and the initial shock is over, but it's hard

75
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 3: to process, you know, And a lot of the teammates,

76
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 3: you know, we've been on the phone with each other,

77
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 3: We've been texting, leaning on each other because you know,

78
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: nickas you know, the most current, but you know, a

79
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, Arthur Jones, Doug Martin, you know,

80
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: for me, Jakobe Jones, a couple of years before that.

81
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 3: And it just shows you just how precious life is

82
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 3: and how important it is to make sure that, you know,

83
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: as teammates we check on each other because you just

84
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: never know. I mean, I go all the way back

85
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: from Steve mcnare to Orlando Brown, you know, so you know,

86
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: black cheer and it's tough, right because you know, you

87
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: see the humanity, but you also see the mortality of

88
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: your teammates, and you know, it.

89
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: Just remind you.

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: We always say this that we have to you know,

91
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 3: we have to lean out and we have to talk

92
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 3: to each other.

93
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: But it's difficult to do, but we have to do that.

94
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: Because you just you just never know and don't want

95
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: to forget, you know, Tony Sarah Goosa a couple of

96
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: years ago before.

97
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: That, Yes, Sunday was extremely painful. I mean we're in Cincinnati.

98
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: I find out early in the morning, just like you do.

99
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: And there's two things that enter my mind. The number

100
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: one thing is disbelief. The second thing is his family. Yeah, correct, Johnny.

101
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: There are four kids and his extended family because you

102
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: refer to him as a brother, and so many people

103
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: inside this organization looked to Nick as part of the family.

104
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: That whether it was the guy's down in the equipment room,

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: like Nick connected with everybody.

106
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: He just said, he was accessible, right, he was always around.

107
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: It's not like he's some you know, some former player

108
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: that left and went to go live somewhere else in Florida,

109
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: Texas or something like that. He's right down the street.

110
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: He was always around. He was a pillar of this

111
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: building and a pillar at the game. So people are

112
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: used to just sending Nick around all the time. You know,

113
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 3: he was a Jersey guy. Now I know he's a

114
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: Midwest guy, but he became an East Coast guy.

115
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: What was he like as a teammate and as a player, Like,

116
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: how would you describe it?

117
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: I mean he was witty, funny, right, he was you know,

118
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: argument just like me. That's why I was always fun,

119
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But he was a true professional.

120
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: I think the heartbeat of that offensive line. I think

121
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: everybody had belief that he would have you in the

122
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: right position, put you in the right spot.

123
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: You know.

124
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 2: He was a protector, he was relying, he was durable, and.

125
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: He was a guy that you know, you always expected

126
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 3: him to be who exactly what he was right, And

127
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: it's hard, I tell people all the time, it's hard

128
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: for you to show up and be what people expect

129
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: you to be. But people expected Nick to be accountable,

130
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: to be a leader, and be a and be a

131
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 3: great performer, and be a you know, and be a

132
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 3: great player.

133
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 2: And he never disappointed.

134
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: You see a lot of similarities between you guys, the

135
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: way you attacked the game because he was.

136
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he was far more talented. To me, he's

137
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: a Hall of Famer, right, you know, he's gonna go

138
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: down as a Hall of Famer. You know, he was

139
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: a model of a consistency and seven times Pro Bowl

140
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: or two time All Pro. Yeah, you know, maybe the mindset,

141
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: but you know, for his position, you know, he's one

142
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: of the best to ever do it right.

143
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: And it's one of those things.

144
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 3: And not a slide at Kevin Malwaii, but like Nick

145
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: Mango is like what's the standard for for pretty much

146
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: his entire career, right, and you know, had a couple

147
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: of injuries a couple of times, but outside of that,

148
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 3: he probably would have made the Pro Bowl every year,

149
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 3: you know. And you know, like I remember also as

150
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: going against him as an opponent, you know what I mean.

151
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: You look at the little round body, you know what

152
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 2: I'm saying.

153
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: You know, they don't see no muscles, and you got

154
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 3: that old farm strength, you know what I mean, just

155
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: going there, got the little meat hooks, got the got

156
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 3: the like the the old school hand tape job, you know,

157
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 3: with the fingers and all that type of stuff. And

158
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 3: it's like, yo, he was always you know there and

159
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: he turned his organization around.

160
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: You were always so protective of your teammates yourself almost

161
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: Do you appreciate the way he always took a public

162
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: stance because you know, he never points the fingers no

163
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: matter what was going on. And also if things were

164
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: going well, he wasn't saying okay, we're dominated up front

165
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: or things like that. It's always he's always deflected, always

166
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: accommodating to the media, but just the ultimate team guy.

167
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: Well, you always know the sign of respect us when

168
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: older players that are accomplished as well look up to

169
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 3: you or give you the highest compliments, whether it was

170
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 3: Alan Faneca, Damon Woodie. These are guys that you know,

171
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: come in with Super Bowl rings. Guys you know, you

172
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: like Alafanica, that Hall of Famer already himself. But to

173
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: be able to take instruction and say, hey man, this

174
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 3: kid is a guy that got the juice. You know,

175
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: I can trust him and I can I can follow him.

176
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: You know, when you come in you assume roles, and

177
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 3: those are outside guys that came in and said, hey,

178
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 3: you know, there's no need for me to step up

179
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: and do this. They already have a guy, you know,

180
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: and that's that's the biggest compliment you can pay to

181
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 3: a younger guy.

182
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: You played with Baltimore, then you came here of course,

183
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: and enjoying this organization. What do you make of him

184
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: getting drafted Hero six, playing his last game in sixteen,

185
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: have a retirement press conference here in twenty eighteen. And

186
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: then when he had that retirement news conference, he's holding

187
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: his daughter, yeah, in his arms, and he said that

188
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: he was he's this is where we're gonna be.

189
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, he committed to this community. A lot

190
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 3: of people don't talk about the things that he did.

191
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: Whether it was the first responders rather it was the

192
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: you know, the NYPD, rather it was the veterans. He

193
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 3: was a guy that was invested. He was totally bought

194
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 3: into this area. Like I said, he turned into an

195
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 3: East Coast guy, you I mean, and I'm a mid

196
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: West guy that turned to an East Coast guy too.

197
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: And that's what you you think about.

198
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: Just think about the big heart, right, you think about

199
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: his contributions not only to this team and organization, but

200
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 3: to his community, right. And you know, he was always around.

201
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: I think he was around it was del Barton or

202
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: around school. You know, I'm sorry.

203
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: So so he's there coaching, you know, he's spreading the love.

204
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: He's going out there and giving out his knowledge and

205
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Man, And like I said, just giving, given, giving,

206
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: And that's the best thing that you can ever say

207
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: about somebody. You know that, you know that they were

208
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: a steward, you know, a steward for kindness, a store

209
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: for greatness, because that's what God wants us to be.

210
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: He wants us to be Stewart's right.

211
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 3: He always says he blesses those that he know he

212
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 3: can trust with the responsibility, and they definitely he definitely

213
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: could trust Nick with the responsibility. And you know, you know,

214
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 3: the big fella's up there right now. He's not in

215
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 3: any pain anymore. And you just say that, you know,

216
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: when he goes and he talks to God, is job

217
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 3: well done? Because you know, it's not about how long

218
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,719
Speaker 3: you live, it's how you live. And he lived in

219
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 3: such a great way that should be copied.

220
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: And we all can.

221
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 3: Hope to be or have as much impact as Nick

222
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 3: Mango had on you know, not on his organization, but

223
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: everybody touched. Life is not about you know, what you get,

224
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 3: you know, materialistically, is about the people that you impact.

225
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 3: And the big, the greatest thing we can always say

226
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 3: about Nick is that he impacted people. Right, when you

227
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 3: go there and we have his services, it won't be

228
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 3: made up stuff, right, you won't be trying to find

229
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: things to say, hey he was a great guy, he

230
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 3: did this, or and people look like, you know, he

231
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: really wasn't.

232
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 2: You know.

233
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 3: It's one of those things that people can, you know,

234
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 3: say and we all got our Nick Mango stories and

235
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: the way that he touched us and the way that

236
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: you know he was able to connect with people, and

237
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: you know he'll be forever missed.

238
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: What do you make of his uh his style when

239
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 4: he always like bro flip flops with a jacket sports

240
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,359
Speaker 4: coming flip flops and backwards.

241
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Man, he had his own thing.

242
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 3: He was unapologetically himself, right, rather the big Chris Kringle

243
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 3: beard or the big thort beard, you know what I mean,

244
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 3: got the got the five year hair going down. You know,

245
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 3: you think about him, Bobby Carpenter, You think about a

246
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: j Hawk and how they all had the little blind streaks,

247
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 3: looking like a looking like uh great the hammer Valentine.

248
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: You know, with that swag he wrestling out everybody.

249
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 3: He would he would have been a perfect hill, you know,

250
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: I mean, he would have been a perfect hill like

251
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 3: out there being a wrestler. I can see him in

252
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 3: a onesie like King Kong Bunny with his hands taped

253
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 3: with some type of call, some type of throat punch

254
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: or something like that. But you know what I'm saying,

255
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 3: It was just like he's just such a joy man.

256
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 3: Like I said, I I enjoyed like our witty conversations,

257
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 3: like you know, sometimes you would have to break us up,

258
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 3: like hey man, we got a film because you gotta

259
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 3: be on the air at ten o'clock and you gotta go,

260
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 3: and we just sitting there arguing.

261
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: We would never let each other not get the last word.

262
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, when I paired you guys together Jet's game day,

263
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: I didn't know what actually was gonna happen. And I

264
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: always we used to be in here in this very

265
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: studio and YouTube going back and forth about everything and

266
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: I'm not talking sports, yes, and it was one side

267
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: and then it was a verbals solve ale over here

268
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: and then you throw back to.

269
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 2: Him and it was hey, gods, gods, come on. Yeah, yeah, and.

270
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: We should have made those conversations into a podcast, but

271
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: then we probably would all have been out of here.

272
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: But we put on barstool.

273
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it was incredible. And but then in

274
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: no time we flipped the switch and you guys would

275
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: be professional selves.

276
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: We just poking, just poking. Ice is what you do

277
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 3: when you have your brothers or your besties. Yeah, I

278
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: mean you always poking and prying, you know what I mean.

279
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: But we know it was all done in fun and

280
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 3: with love.

281
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, so smart.

282
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: So he was always up for it.

283
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, just like you and I love somebody that could.

284
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: You don't want to just dominate about You want somebody

285
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 3: you can serve it back and forth. That's what keeps

286
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 3: you sharp.

287
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: And then the other thing that you know, and I

288
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: put this out there the other day, is that he

289
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: would always talk about his family, what they were doing.

290
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: And you can relate this as far as how big

291
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: the holidays were, in the trips and things like that.

292
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 2: So, yeah, Iland, how was Iceland?

293
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: We always had you know, the the the Mangol Adventures.

294
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, for the current organization for the players walking in here,

295
00:13:53,840 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: and what would you tell them about Nick and how

296
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: you can make a difference and also become part of

297
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: an organization in the community.

298
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, you just go about example, right, and

299
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 2: I think. You know.

300
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 3: The good thing is it's a lot of alumni around

301
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: here that still are involved. But Nick was, you know,

302
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: was the spear leader of that you know, I mean,

303
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 3: And I don't think you even have to tell Nick's

304
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: story because he was around here. So it's a story

305
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: that that I don't have to tell because the current players,

306
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 3: you know, the Garrett Wilson. Hell, half the team is

307
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 3: Ohio State, so half the team knows exactly who he is,

308
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: knows exactly who Nick Mango is, and nobody represented because

309
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 3: he not only represented for here, but he represented for

310
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 3: Ohio State. So you got, hell, this is like Ohio,

311
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: this is like Midwest two point zero over here with

312
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 3: all the Ohio State players that we have here. So

313
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: I don't think we even have to tell his impact

314
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 3: because they know his impact. They felt his impact, and

315
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: you heard it in the words of Garrett Wilson about

316
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: the advice that he had. You heard it from from Tipman,

317
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: you know, from them ice that he gave and the

318
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: impact that he had and continues to happen will always have.

319
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: Well, he is forever gonna live on in the side

320
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: of this organization. But still a couple of days later

321
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: and you mentioned all the people that you've lost. I'm

322
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: still in disbelief because I look at you across.

323
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 2: Here in the studio and you.

324
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: Can imagine him, yes, because he's a part of his

325
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 3: part of this room, you know, I mean you can

326
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: still fill him in here.

327
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, just joking and laughing man.

328
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: And it's tough, man, and we're gonna have to process,

329
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 3: and it's gonna hurt, and you're gonna be okay, then

330
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: not gonna be okay.

331
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 2: And what we have to do is just lean on

332
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: each other. And he would want us to go on.

333
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 3: And you know, but I'm sure he loves him being himself,

334
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 3: being a topic of conversation and the topic of funny

335
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: laughs and jokes and the stories and yeah, and he

336
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,359
Speaker 3: gets the opportunity to hear the stories, you know, firsthand,

337
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: because he gets to see and hear how we feel

338
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: about him and how people reflect. And you know, when

339
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 3: you talk about it, you can see you can see

340
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 3: how it how it viberated through through the.

341
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 2: Through the as people continue to talk about him.

342
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: That doesn't happen for every player, right, There's a lot

343
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 3: of players that have come and passed and you know,
