All that I want for you, my son, is to be
Welcome to the Giants Nation show. I'm your host Bobby Skinner. Alone, on my own, doing this. You see it in the title. I've left John Boy Media and Talking Giants. Not that I've left Talking Giants. They're keeping Talking Giants. And Justin Panik is staying. I'm going to tell you what happened in this episode. You know, and first of all, I really want to thank anyone who's ever supported.
And for all the support you guys have shown me for six years. I hope to keep it, whether it came from the 2019 Daniel Jones breakdowns, deep ball, third down, the O-line reports that started in 2020, the recap shows, which really started to get bigger, playoff live streams or whatever. You guys have made it possible for me to stand up for myself in this career, and I'm truly appreciative.
But I really struggled for the last week since this decision has been made with what to do with this first episode. Do I take the complete high road and just say everything was great, but I just wanted to start something new? Or...
tell the truth and i just feel like i have to be honest obviously i don't need to share every little detail about everything but i do need i feel like i need the audience oh oh that especially the fact that myself and justin aren't doing the show together anymore be one thing if me and him both left and just wanted to start our own thing but that's not what happened um i wanted to start with the main reason that this is happening right that i'm doing giants nation show and no longer with jumbo meteor talking giants
I was given two contract offers by John Boy Media. One to move to New York and one to stay in Florida, you know, where I live, obviously. Similar to, you know, the dynamic at the end of 2021, where they gave me two offers, but very different.
Jake who was like the number two at the company was you know the you know like sidekick to John Boy when they started the company reached out to me he's kind of he's on I don't know exactly what his title is but he's the person that I deal with he reached out to me a couple weeks ago asking if I was interested in moving to New York because I wasn't you know I didn't take the offer to move to New York in 2021 and I told him it depends on the numbers right I'm not going to
just say no like first of all i don't want to move to new york i just got married my family is here i grew up here my church is here my whole support system is here and you know i like to be a support system for other people but i wanted to at least hear them out and and the fact that there are advantages of being up there for this job although they were not really wanting me up there for those advantages let me get a drink of water
The offer to move to New York was $3,000 more per year. And I won't get into what my salary was, but asking me to move myself and my wife and leave our entire lives behind was shocking for that amount of money. I mean, forget the fact that the difference in state taxes is more than $3,000. I'm actually making less money just state taxes.
