Speaker 1: There on the world you play to win the gates
Speaker 1: a Jet touchdown. You're listening to the Official Jets podcast
Speaker 1: Jets three sixty Production Gredients, Jets Nation. Eric Gallen here
Speaker 1: at Jets Upfront in the Toyota Club as that live stadium,
Speaker 1: joined alongside our executive producer with the New York Jets,
Speaker 1: Chris Gargano. That's we're starting with you today. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about a rebranded podcasts here and the Jets Official Podcast network.
Speaker 1: What can people expect coming up in two thousand seventeen.
Speaker 1: You know, it's great, Eric, I'm glad you brought that up,
Speaker 1: because we do have a foundation from last year which
Speaker 1: you started, you know, yourself and Bart Scott and Ethan Greenberg,
Speaker 1: Chad Pennington and some of the folks that were on
Speaker 1: last year. That foundation is dove tailing perfectly into what
Speaker 1: we're doing this year, which is two point oh so
Speaker 1: on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays will have different versions of
Speaker 1: the Official Jets Podcast, of which you will be part
Speaker 1: of and yourself and Bart Scott from our Monday Night
Speaker 1: Radio inside the Jet Vanderbilt at Vanderbilt Jersey right across
Speaker 1: the street from the complexes that's right. So in a
Speaker 1: unique situation, fans will be able to see a podcast
Speaker 1: in a radio show simultaneously taped live. And the chemistry
Speaker 1: that you have with former Jet and legend Bart Scott
Speaker 1: is unbelievable. And I think that you bring out those
Speaker 1: those powerful anecdotes each and every week because he was
Speaker 1: such a prominent player in the NFL. In the way
Speaker 1: that he communicates with you in the fan base, he's
Speaker 1: a unique talent. We love having a part of it.
Speaker 1: Then on Wednesdays will do off the field lifestyle with
Speaker 1: yourself and our two reporters, Olivia and Ethan, and you know,
Speaker 1: we'll talk to celebrities and fans and and then on
Speaker 1: Friday you'll gear it up and preview the game that week. Okay,
Speaker 1: so Jets three sixty, Yes, you talked about putting all
Speaker 1: the Jets content under one umbrella. To a fan, what
Speaker 1: can they come to expect from Jets three sixty boss,
Speaker 1: You know what, Thanks Eric, and the way you tee
Speaker 1: that up is perfect. It's a standard. It's the it's
Speaker 1: a kind of a quality. We will not put anything
Speaker 1: out there that isn't great, meaning that we have a
Speaker 1: commitment to telling great stories. Right. We have a commitment
Speaker 1: to telling to provide an eight second video on social
Speaker 1: to thirty seconds to forty five minutes in a documentary.
Speaker 1: All of it is going to be a commitment to
Speaker 1: the fan base and telling these great stories. So that's
Speaker 1: what three sixty is. We just really have a commitment
Speaker 1: by a talented group of people to make the Jets
Speaker 1: showcase the fans, the players, the administrators to this great
Speaker 1: fan base. It's a commitment. Eric, speaking of commitment, Chris Pierce,
Speaker 1: Senior director of Fan Commerce for the New York Jets,
Speaker 1: What's new at the stadium this year? What's new at
Speaker 1: the stadium? Of new things here the stadium. So food wise,
Speaker 1: you know, every year we take a look at, you
Speaker 1: know what worked, where we have an area that we
Speaker 1: can possibly improve and and you know a few things
Speaker 1: we really focus on. One is this fat roost chicken sandwich.
Speaker 1: So you take a chicken brass, we brine it in
Speaker 1: buttermilk and hot sauce for twenty four hours that it
Speaker 1: gets dredged in a spice mix and then it's a
Speaker 1: King's Wine roll, honey a really spread on both sides,
Speaker 1: House Brian pickles and then apple cider slaw. It's it's
Speaker 1: it's a terrific, terrific sandwich. Great problem. Where can I
Speaker 1: get it? In the stadium for opening day you'll see
Speaker 1: the section three seventeen. You'll also see it in the
Speaker 1: Toriota Club. You also see it in a Touchdown club.
Speaker 1: How about four folks looking for some maybe healthy options. So,
Speaker 1: so where would you go, fair point errant. He can
Speaker 1: get sushi burrito, so fish veggies in a rice paper wrap,
Speaker 1: very very healthy option. In addition, you can also get
Speaker 1: poke bowls, so tuna or salmon is your bass. And
Speaker 1: then you get to work with the chef and pick
Speaker 1: the amount of ingredients you want, the sauce you want.
Speaker 1: You want a little more scallion, you want a little
Speaker 1: more sesame seed. You can do it up your way.
Speaker 1: Where they finding those so those are being Toyota and
Speaker 1: Touchdown Club as well as the sushi locations out in
Speaker 1: the g a population, we spend so much time and
Speaker 1: energy putting farm and and really ultimately love into the
Speaker 1: food program that we want people when they get that
Speaker 1: item to say, wow, this is fantastic. What about jet shop?
Speaker 1: What's going on? A jet shop? Jet so one of
Speaker 1: the new things that people are going to see it
Speaker 1: is on field. The players have adopted Nike Vapor uniform construction.
Speaker 1: We had a lot of people notice this inverted you
Speaker 1: down below the player's numbers. Well, that was actually there
Speaker 1: were those were seams. It always looked like people had
Speaker 1: this a sweat ring if you will. Well, it's been
Speaker 1: eliminated now because the seams on the jersey were moved
Speaker 1: to the back, so the seams don't touch the player's body.
Speaker 1: That's more comfortable. The fabric has also got some perfect
Speaker 1: ventilation holes strategically placed through the jersey and the pants.
Speaker 1: NFL shield on the jersey and pants is now chromed
Speaker 1: and the uniform system winds up being lighter. So you're
Speaker 1: well stocked with these jerseys down. Oh yeah, well stocked,
Speaker 1: well stocked. So that's called the Nike Elite Vapor jersey.
Speaker 1: In addition, on the new Er side, lots and lots
Speaker 1: of great hacks. For those fans who've come out to
Speaker 1: training camp, are been watching into the coverage of training
Speaker 1: camp green and White, you've seen some of the really
Speaker 1: cool hats. Newer has done a great job of expanding
Speaker 1: the hatline, a lot of performance fabrications, different fits, whether
Speaker 1: He's a snap back guy. Little alone fact for the
Speaker 1: fans out there. Guards is a flex fit kind of guy.
Speaker 1: Olivia is a fifty fifty kind of gal Ethan. He's
Speaker 1: a kind of guy you know who. He's got great
Speaker 1: hacking Todd bulls and and people watch him and sometimes
Speaker 1: they're asking me, how can to get that head? So,
Speaker 1: so does Todd come to you guys as far as hey,
Speaker 1: I want to switch up the hats this year? How
Speaker 1: does that all work? Todd is very passionate about his hat.
Speaker 1: Todd works extremely closely with the equipment department. Shout out
Speaker 1: to Veto for Todd Bowls. Shout out to Gus Jim
Speaker 1: and Andrew Squeaks. Isn't call him um, you know, but
Speaker 1: those guys do a great job. So so when Coach
Speaker 1: Bowles decides on the hat he really feels passionate about.
Speaker 1: Then that's something from a retail perspective we we jump
Speaker 1: on because the fans want those hats. Thursday Night this year,
Speaker 1: the Jets will host the Buffalo Bills, the third consecutive
Speaker 1: ear where the Jets and the Bills play a night
Speaker 1: game Thursday Night game and uh for the second time
Speaker 1: in three years, will this be the color rush game
Speaker 1: for the Jets at home in prime time. Yes, in
Speaker 1: fact we will. So last year we played up in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: we wore white head to toe um and this year,
Speaker 1: now that we're the home team, we will wear the
Speaker 1: color USh green uniform. So the green jersey, green pants,
Speaker 1: green socks, green gloves, all in that kelly green, if
Speaker 1: you will. The changes to the helmet will be made
Speaker 1: again where the stickers details will be the chrome green
Speaker 1: and the face mask that chrome green. It's like we
Speaker 1: took our green, our current green on Thursday night, we
Speaker 1: plugged it in, electrified it, and you get this under
Speaker 1: the lights, you get this, this bright kelly green, which
Speaker 1: is a historical color for us. That certainly is that
Speaker 1: is the Jets Senior director of Fan Covers Chris Pierce,
Speaker 1: and as Olivia Landis walks by. Let's talk about our
Speaker 1: new Jets reporter a little bit about her background. Olivia
Speaker 1: is brand new to the New York Jets. It's been
Speaker 1: two weeks. She comes from Fort Collins, Colorado, where she
Speaker 1: grew up, and she brings unique talents. She really can
Speaker 1: report on hardcore football as well as take you off
Speaker 1: the field with the players. So We're gonna take a
Speaker 1: three sixty approach to her coverage and how she you know,
Speaker 1: goes about her job each and every day, and she
Speaker 1: can go live. She's got live with you and Ethan.
Speaker 1: I think that our Facebook lives are jets three sixty
Speaker 1: live shows that are off to a great start, largely
Speaker 1: because of the chemistry that you guys have developed. She's
Speaker 1: going to be a welcome addition to our content. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how about Green's He's been here now and I think
Speaker 1: fans are starting to recognize him a little bit. One
Speaker 1: area where we've started to see him more of people
Speaker 1: consuming our content is in front of the cameras. Yes,
Speaker 1: and I call you know, Ethan is an old soul.
Speaker 1: He he really is. Eric if we you know, we
Speaker 1: talked to him about this, it's like he's a young
Speaker 1: man out of Syracuse and he the way he comports
Speaker 1: himself and the way he delivers information about football in
Speaker 1: any way, shape or form, is that of a person
Speaker 1: much more experience. Let's just say so, we're so fortunate
Speaker 1: to have him. His ability to write, his ability to
Speaker 1: go on the air, and he's just a he's a
Speaker 1: great young man. And that their commitments behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: How hard these two work, how hard you work? There's
Speaker 1: really a great work. The Concion, our senior vice president
Speaker 1: of marketing and fan engagement set for been Within, has
Speaker 1: just come to our podcast table. We are bringing in
Speaker 1: the desserts the podcast right in your your clean living lifestyle.
Speaker 1: You've never had a dessert earlier than eight pm. That's
Speaker 1: probably true. You already had a sugar for the month,
Speaker 1: and that's only the fifteen you know, while you eat
Speaker 1: that nice presentation here today at Jets up Front in
Speaker 1: the Toyota Club Bank, here at met Life Stadium, A
Speaker 1: few things that jumped out at me during your presentation.
Speaker 1: The Jets fan a Hall of Fame? What is that
Speaker 1: all about? Can fans expect in two thousand seventeen? Look,
Speaker 1: every Jets fan probably should be in the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1: I mean the passion, the loyalty, the energy they bring.
Speaker 1: But we felt it was high time to really do
Speaker 1: some formal recognition. So just like the Pro Football Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame has a class every year that goes in
Speaker 1: starting this year, so too will Jets fans. Simple nomination
Speaker 1: process basically an original photo and written statement like a
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty words why you if you're nominating yourself
Speaker 1: for somebody else you know, merit this recognition. And then
Speaker 1: we will have a selection process where we'll take all
Speaker 1: of the submissions and which will be evaluated by what
Speaker 1: we're calling a blue ribbon panel, which will include some
Speaker 1: Jets legends, some longtime Jets staffers who know what it
Speaker 1: means to bleed green uh, and then ultimately will deliver
Speaker 1: to the fan base as a whole ten semifinals and
Speaker 1: the fan vote will determine which three will form the
Speaker 1: inaugural Jets Fan Hall of Fame class and well will
Speaker 1: that first class uh. They will be inducted at our
Speaker 1: final home game December, and then thereafter their photos will
Speaker 1: be permanently affixed here at Matlife Stadium and back at
Speaker 1: our training center. They'll also get like a cool varsity jacket,
Speaker 1: which I like the varsity jack. If you want to
Speaker 1: nominate somebody or you want to nominate yourself, you have
Speaker 1: to go to our website New York Jets dot com
Speaker 1: slash Fan Hall of Fame uh, and there's a form
Speaker 1: of a lot of simple form name address, email address,
Speaker 1: upload your photo, hundred fifty words stick and um, we'll
Speaker 1: make the selections in October and uh late October, I think,
Speaker 1: and I would basically have like the month of November
Speaker 1: December to get all the logistics arrange and then as
Speaker 1: I said, December, our final handgear. Now, something that fans
Speaker 1: have to be ready for in two thousand seventeen is
Speaker 1: the Jets App Yes with a gain day emphasis. So
Speaker 1: everybody knows that you can use Apple Map, School, the
Speaker 1: maps whatever to get yourself to and from the stadium,
Speaker 1: but not every place has indoor maps where once you're
Speaker 1: in a building as big as this two million square feet,
Speaker 1: you still need to know your way around. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: can get lost. You can get lost. I still get lost.
Speaker 1: Not anymore, because now we're gonna have highly detailed indoor maps,
Speaker 1: so you'll get an accurate beat on your position and
Speaker 1: the map is accurate enough to know Section one away
Speaker 1: Global Pies, that's where it is. You know what I'm
Speaker 1: pumped above cards Urn Official intelligence coming to Mentlife Stadium,
Speaker 1: and that name is Joan. Folks get to know Joan
Speaker 1: because if you have any questions, you know what You're
Speaker 1: gonna talk to human being anymore. That's right. Joan is,
Speaker 1: as you said, an artificial intelligence chat about service. So
Speaker 1: it works just like if you were exchanging text with
Speaker 1: a friend of yours. You asked Joan a question. Joan
Speaker 1: has answers to all of the most frequently asked questions.
Speaker 1: But here's the closest bathroom, way bathrooms, craft beer, apple? Yes, uh?
Speaker 1: If I need a family rest room, if you bring
Speaker 1: your young kids with you, where's the family restroom? Guest services?
Speaker 1: Where can I get chicken tenders? What's your policy on
Speaker 1: bringing in umbrellas? You know all of these questions Joan
Speaker 1: can answer, and so it's really designed for the stadium.
Speaker 1: But if you have a question before you come, you
Speaker 1: can ask Joanes. She'll still know that what time the
Speaker 1: gates open, what time to parking lots open, those kinds
Speaker 1: of questions. I'm pumped him. Yeah, that's gonna be pretty cool.
Speaker 1: Why is it so important for Jets Rewards members to
Speaker 1: have that app? Because that's something you mentioned. So because
Speaker 1: you can basically now from your mobile device, manage your
Speaker 1: entire Jets Rewards account instantly. You'll see your points coming
Speaker 1: in instantly, you could manage you could redeem points on
Speaker 1: site if you want. You can manage your Jets Cash
Speaker 1: or if you want to reload jets cash or just
Speaker 1: check your balance, all done instantly, real time. In the app,
Speaker 1: you want push notifications because we talked today about a
Speaker 1: new season ticket holder benefit half price hot dogs and
Speaker 1: sodas perceson ticket holders. We will remind season ticket holders
Speaker 1: of that using push notifications in the app, because that's
Speaker 1: not something you want to forget. So if you have
Speaker 1: the app, you will get those push notifications. I don't
Speaker 1: know about you tell me, but I got a little
Speaker 1: bit excited to what I heard about Next Generation Stats.
Speaker 1: As far as you know, people consume games differently, but
Speaker 1: now something that's going to be added to our presentation
Speaker 1: this year is just in hand. That's uh, can you
Speaker 1: go into that a little bit stuff? Sure, So a
Speaker 1: couple of years ago the league started this next Stats initiative,
Speaker 1: and what they do is they put a little radio
Speaker 1: transmitters underneath the shoulder pads on every player, and then
Speaker 1: there's an array of antennas around the field in every stadium,
Speaker 1: and so basically the position of every player is being
Speaker 1: broadcast like thirty times a second. And from that you
Speaker 1: can use computing power to track all sorts of stuff
Speaker 1: that QB distributions charts running back speed east west versus
Speaker 1: north south, uh, time to sack, time to release for
Speaker 1: a quarterback, total distance the ball travels in the air,
Speaker 1: on the ground, et cetera. We had to build some
Speaker 1: systems on our part to ingest that data in real
Speaker 1: time and process it so that we could render it
Speaker 1: on pilot vision in a way that fans could understand.
Speaker 1: And that's what we've done Togo, and that kind of
Speaker 1: stuff I think is gonna be very eye opening for
Speaker 1: football fans. It's not stuff we've known before. It's a
Speaker 1: whole it's next generation statistics, and in some ways I
Speaker 1: can envision five years from now, just yards is not
Speaker 1: gonna be that interesting to me. Right, I'm gonna want
Speaker 1: to know way more than I don't think. Okay, seventy
Speaker 1: three yards great? How fast was he running? That's what
Speaker 1: I want to know, right? How far side to side
Speaker 1: did you go to get open? So I think it's
Speaker 1: really is a whole new kind of category of stats
Speaker 1: and wate to understand again. You know, you know when
Speaker 1: you consume that mutlised day, no doubt. If I could
Speaker 1: have one message to the fan base, you gotta have
Speaker 1: the Jets app and You've got to use it whether
Speaker 1: you're here, definitely, what even if you're at home, or
Speaker 1: you're at a bar or friend's house. Whatever, you gotta
Speaker 1: have the Jets app on Jet Sundays. It's a free
Speaker 1: download obviously App Store for iPhones, Google Play for Android phones,
Speaker 1: and the new release coming out in early September. So
Speaker 1: download it today because it will auto update on Iowa.
Speaker 1: I love it. You'll have the latest and greatest as
Speaker 1: soon as it's ready. Thank you so much, Thanks for
Speaker 1: having me bad. We should do this more often. We
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. Chris Gargano, Rick Allen here at Jets up
Speaker 1: Front and the toy Arty Club at Motlife Stadium. A
Speaker 1: lot of medium members are coming out today, uh to
Speaker 1: see what is new with the New York Jets. In
Speaker 1: two thousand seventeen, Uh, Chris, we had a couple of
Speaker 1: Jets legends in the house. Part Scott here as well.
Speaker 1: Part is gonna be a big part of our content.
Speaker 1: Movie four. You're gonna see him a Jets flight plan
Speaker 1: Sunday Mornings, CBS. But a new addition this year, a
Speaker 1: new component to Bart being part of our content is
Speaker 1: Monday Nights Vanderbilt traditionally typically during the season is gonna
Speaker 1: be seven o'clock starts on ESPN Radio, also going to
Speaker 1: be streamed on New York Jets dot Com on Facebook Live,
Speaker 1: and then Jack's gonna make that baby availbow and podcast
Speaker 1: format guards let's get back to Jets three sixty My
Speaker 1: Jet Life, that's gonna be a component to Jet Life. Yes,
Speaker 1: eleven thirties Saturday nights, CBS. What is my Jet Life?
Speaker 1: Our players have great stories. Human beings have great stories.
Speaker 1: If we did a My Jet Life on you or
Speaker 1: Jack or all the wonderful people here in the Toyota
Speaker 1: Club at MetLife Stadium, we would unveil some great little
Speaker 1: nuggets about each and every person. Well, professional football players
Speaker 1: with their unique talents and some of them with unique backgrounds.
Speaker 1: Those stories need to be told. And the reason is
Speaker 1: because we're just like the next gen stats. That's a
Speaker 1: different layer, an additional layer to watching and consuming NFL football.
Speaker 1: So when you look at Robbie Anderson and he's on
Speaker 1: the field and he runs a nice out pattern and
Speaker 1: Christian or um Josh hits him on or Bryce hit
Speaker 1: him on a nice out right boom, number eleven goes
Speaker 1: in the stats goes back to the huddle. What we
Speaker 1: want you to do with three sixty is tell a
Speaker 1: great story about each one of those players. So you're saying, oh,
Speaker 1: that's my guy who made that catch. I like him
Speaker 1: because he dealt with adversity as a twelve year old,
Speaker 1: similar to what I did as a fourteen year old.
Speaker 1: And the Jets three sixty group told that story, So
Speaker 1: now I am emotional connected to that individual. That's our goal.
Speaker 1: Our executive producer here at the New York Jets, Chris
Speaker 1: Gargano at media up front. Yes, the mad backer Bart
Speaker 1: Scott hands Gray stuff with his presence and uh, you're
Speaker 1: getting after a little chicken sandwich over there. Not just
Speaker 1: a chicken sound, I mean a spicy chicken sound. Is
Speaker 1: it really spicy? It's hot. It's not like the one
Speaker 1: where you have to sign the deaf waiver. You know,
Speaker 1: it's not that one, but it is pretty up. I
Speaker 1: felt like buffalo hot sauce on pretty much. That's not hot. Now, Bart,
Speaker 1: are you eating that at a slow pace because you're
Speaker 1: on the podcast or or are you taking your time?
Speaker 1: Or is that item number eight? Well, I'm doing a
Speaker 1: drive by. I'm just eating walking and then you'll I call,
Speaker 1: come on, man, he in a in a in a
Speaker 1: in a side mirror and I had to stop by
Speaker 1: and say, what's up that I didn't like this part
Speaker 1: of your post career that you're up here at Jets
Speaker 1: up front talking about some media opportunities because you're participating
Speaker 1: and all this again with ust In two thousand seven
Speaker 1: the team, we're very fortunate to have you. But what
Speaker 1: did you used to eat on game days? What was
Speaker 1: a bart Scott eating them when you were a player,
Speaker 1: And it was it was pretty simple. It was either
Speaker 1: some type of pasta, some carb loading or if it
Speaker 1: was really early, I can get an omelet. You know,
Speaker 1: guys are really strategic about how they how they load
Speaker 1: and prepare. They want to get some fruit there and
Speaker 1: try and get a sugar rush. And you hope that
Speaker 1: at time's up right where you get the benefits from
Speaker 1: what you can eat. You know, you want to make
Speaker 1: sure if you eat too early, then you're hungry while
Speaker 1: you're playing because the game is long, and you want
Speaker 1: to make sure you know, did you eat there in
Speaker 1: the game? Ever? Everyone everyone every once in a while
Speaker 1: half there, well, you know, halftime, I always ate fruit.
Speaker 1: You know going back to college. That's what got me suspending,
Speaker 1: the kicked off the team. You know, my fruitful beginnings,
Speaker 1: you know that whole store. But yeah, I had to
Speaker 1: try and put something in the system at halftime because
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge eater, and you you don't want
Speaker 1: to be out there and feel heavy and and it's weird.
Speaker 1: You know. The toughest time to ever do that was
Speaker 1: when you have the four o'clock games, because what happens
Speaker 1: is you eat early and then you trying to do Yeah,
Speaker 1: you're trying to figure out what time to eat around
Speaker 1: one or two, what time to eat, and if you
Speaker 1: eat wrong, you either hungry you know, in the game
Speaker 1: because game go all the way to eight o'clock. So
Speaker 1: you're so you're hungry, and you only ate once one
Speaker 1: time to day. So it's important that you get up
Speaker 1: really early and eat and start getting getting your ma
Speaker 1: titlism and get your sister and going because you're way
Speaker 1: too late you eat, say like at eleven. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna be hungry at once, so you're not gonna eat
Speaker 1: a lot. So then we get in the game, you're hungry,
Speaker 1: and now that's when you see guys eating the bars
Speaker 1: and trying to drink the jams and the juices and
Speaker 1: and all that stuff to try and get a spike
Speaker 1: and energy and get that that that blood, that that
Speaker 1: sugar rush. That is a part Scott at Jets up Front.
Speaker 1: He'll be on Jets Play Plants Sunday morning. We're gonna
Speaker 1: were gonna take We're gonna take it up a level.
Speaker 1: Then the new component this year is you'll be co
Speaker 1: hosting Inside the Jets with me at vander Belts Live.
