Jason Fitz with Yahoo Sports, hanging out with Eli Manning joining us on behalf in case you can’t guess of King’s Hawaiian bread.
The pretzel bites, we’ll get to the pretzel bites in a minute because I’m hungry and you looked at just dashing with the setup right now, my friend.
Uh, but let’s start with a little bit of football, obviously Giants fans freaking out.
What’s your message right now to Giants fans after one game?
Yeah, this is one game coming off an injury.
If you look at some of the other quarterbacks that are coming off in and also didn’t have their best.
It takes some time to trust that your back and, and that can go into your psyche a little bit.
So Daniel’s working hard, uh, he’s gonna be committed, he can get back and play at a high level and expect him to have a big week and a big bounce back week this week.
Do you believe Daniel Jones can be an elite quarterback in the NFL?
I do, I do.
I, I’ve seen Daniel, I’ve seen how hard he works.
I’ve seen his commitment.
I’ve seen his attitude, um, how he, uh he’s a leader in the locker room and does all the, the things right.
He, you know, he’s gonna work hard, he’s coachable.
Um, he’s gonna, he’s gonna, if he makes mistakes, he’s gonna want to correct them and, and be coached hard.
And so we’ve seen the glimpses we’ve seen on the playoff run two years ago how well he played with not a ton of talent.
I think he has more talent and he can get back and play at high level.
You’re hanging out with the soft press bikes.
Tell everybody what you’re doing with Kings Hawaiian.
Yeah.
So today around New York City, a lot of the uh New York street cart vendors are replacing the classic New York pretzel with the Kings of Wine.
Soft pretzel bites.
So we’re giving out uh 250,000 all, you know, quarter million pretzel bites are going out to New Yorkers.
And uh it’s, uh you know, Kings of Wine are excited about it.
It’s their first snack that they’ve ever had it.
That great kind of soft pretzel texture combined with that King’s Hawaiian uh roll, add a little salt.
It’s just an irresistible snack.
I’m telling you brother, when I was a kid, my mom used to get the traditional King’s Hawaiian and then put the butter on it and broil it.
And then all of a sudden, like you get it out a few minutes later, like that is still a divine snack.
Now we got the pretzel bites going, man.
You’re gonna make me fat, but it’s gonna be worth every second of it.
Eli.
I appreciate you hanging out with me, my friend.
Have a great day.
All right, thanks so much.
A lot of fun.
