Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Patrick and Dobbs Ferry, good morning. Patrick, how are you? Hey, good morning, guys. How's it going? What's up? I've got a solution for the Giants kicking problem going forward.
Chapter 2: What solution does the caller propose for the Giants' kicking problem?
Talk to us. So we got this guy out of University of Hawaii. They call him the Tokyo Toe, Konsei Matsuzawa. He taught himself how to kick on YouTube while working at a Morton's in Tokyo.
Chapter 3: Who is the kicker from Hawaii discussed in the episode?
Come on. Went to University of Hawaii, started the season, hit his first 25 field goals, including the game winner versus Stanford in game one. And he ended up being the first consensus All-American from University of Hawaii. This kid is legit. Wow. You know who was coaching on the sideline against him?
Chapter 4: How did the kicker from Hawaii learn to kick?
Who's that? Frank Reich. Yes, he was. Very good point. That's a very good point. Yeah, I know the kid was 25 at 26 field goal kicking this year. And, you know, it is a great story. The question is, how much history does he have doing it? Well, he said, according to him, he learned on YouTube. Yeah, I know. I mean, come on.
He was one of the finalists for the Lou Groza Award, which is the kicker of the year in college. So where do you pick someone? Sebastian Janikowski, I believe, was a late first-round pick by the Raiders. Yeah, he was, by the Raiders. If you need a kicker, you want a kicker. Depends on just how strong the leg is. Is it like Brandon Aubrey, right? Yeah. You just never know. Soccer player?
There's got to be the accuracy. Supposedly, I want to say one of the Australian rules football players, I guess they did some punting drills. Oh, the punter? Yeah. And it looked like he's probably going to get drafted somewhere. I always wonder why more rugby players don't end up as NFL players to some degree. It's a completely different game, I can tell you that. For sure.
And I don't necessarily know that they're... If I had to guess, I would say speed is an issue. Interesting. Because clearly they're strong enough. They're nuts because they're doing what they're doing with no equipment on. The YouTube thing. Where are the boundaries to YouTube? In what way? Have you ever looked on YouTube to learn how to do something and then do it step by step with the video? No.
I have as long as the video isn't like 25 minutes long. If the video is like a minute and a half to two minutes, I will sit through it and I will watch it, especially when it comes to like an iPad, an iPhone, a MacBook, or something like that that needs to take me through something that I need to learn. All right, so if I put into YouTube right now, Give me a task. Any task.
Because this is so crazy. Al and I talk about this on the podcast all the time. You could literally put in any year, any make, any model of a car and have an issue with that car and someone has done a video. Can you remove your own appendix? No, come on. Okay, all right.

Chapter 5: What factors should determine when to draft a kicker?
Give me something for real. There's no one did a video on removing it. How do you frame a house? Okay. I will almost, I'll be stunned. I'm sure it's 100%. How to frame a house. Let's see. It comes right up. And the first video has 500,000 views. Oh, here we go. Are you doing two by fours or two by sixes? House framing explained. 4.4 million views. And the video is 12 minutes.
This guy goes through it step by step. There you go. And then there's another one here. There's tons of them. How do you remove your roofing shingles? Oh, I like that one. How to remove roofing shingles. Well, that's not that hard, though. You go get the tool. I actually do know that answer. Let's see. Yeah, it comes right up. Yeah. All right. So what's your point?
You can learn anything on this thing. Yes.
Chapter 6: Why do some athletes transition from rugby to NFL?
And now there are limitations to it. Who needs to go to college? Well, there are some people that do believe that. It is why. It blows me away. Hershen Valley Stream. What's up, Hersh? Talk to Boomer. Hirsch from Valley Stream is a cool name. All right. What's happening, Hirsch? And a cool listener.
That guy was a great caller, but now no one in my family is talking to me this morning after a half hour of that in the house. Boomer. Yes. So this may take a little truth serum. Listen, I know how you feel about Schaefer. I know you love the kid. I know your family loves the kid. So end of the season comes, playoff time. Rangers are probably not going to be there. The Islanders are.
Are you rooting just for the kid?
Chapter 7: How does YouTube influence learning new skills?
Are you rooting for the team? I know this is a tough one for you, but I'm really curious how you feel about it. Now, Hirsch, I've been through this with my son-in-law, Matt. Mm-hmm. Right? I rooted for Matt, and I wanted Matt to do well. I know Cal Clutterbuck. I wanted him to do well. I've known Casey Zizekas.
I actually ran Casey Zizekas into the boards and knocked him to the ground when we played hockey one summer. So, yeah, I was...
individually rooting for those guys i can't i have a hard time rooting for the islanders i just i i can't i don't believe him hirsch i think deep down it's a deep conflict within me i'm telling you yeah so that's the whole thing and i don't i don't find fault either way i'm just saying like Truth serum where he really, you know, he's watching the game. He's rooting for the Islanders, Hirsch.
Now, listen, you know who I blame? I blame my daughter, Sydney, for bringing an Islander home in the first place. There's nothing wrong with that. Yes. But because of that relationship, and now you've got Matthew Schaefer in that house, your Rangers are in the toilet this year. You're a closet Islander fan. I'm not a closet Islander fan. I am not. You love this kid. I see a prodigy. Islander fan.
I see a prodigy. That's all I see. And from the first day, I felt like when I met him personally, then it really solidified it. But what you see in the ice, and anybody who's ever played hockey, or you don't have to play hockey if you're just a fan, you just see it. You see it. I saw it last night. I saw it the other night. It's been amazing. It's been amazing to watch it.
It's been amazing to be on the outer ring being a part of it. And just hopefully that it continues this way and he continues doing the things that he's doing. And what I love about it most is that most of the guys on the team, when they speak about him, they say they can't believe he's 18. In some respects. Right. And then there are other respects. He looks like a kid. He acts like a kid.
For sure. Understood. No doubt. When he's on the ice, man, he's full-on hockey player, just absolute prodigy. I thought it was very cool that Bob Waschusen did the game last night. So you got some national love for the Islanders on ESPN. And Bob was, and rightfully so, was really talking the kid up. And then he winds up breaking the record and he has the two goals.
And somebody, I forget what the ex-handle was, but he was clearly a Panthers fan. So he just wrote to Bob something along the lines of, hey, Bob, thanks for pointing out how great Matthew Schaefer is. We didn't hear you the first thousand times. And I love Bob. He always replies, hey, thanks for listening.
But that's great national recognition when, you know, and Bob's a local guy, so that's pretty cool too. But the point being is that here's an 18-year-old kid who scored two goals last night. So what are you supposed to say? You got to keep talking about him because he makes himself relevant. Right.
