No, okay, so I'm worried about your skin care routine now because I know you don't wear sunscreen and you need that. The serum, you need a moisturizer to unlock that. Yeah, but you also can't just roll in all

I don't know what it's spending about $200 on your skincare routine smelling all good saying no it's just me come on correction false humility she is okay but false humility Jay this I feel like you've just been unrested on the mask for for us. You might actually be wearing a skin care mask. There's no clone. Jay. I have never I've been in Hollywood for her two weeks

And I have smelled nothing nicer than the way that you walked into our room and made the whole place smell And now we learn my research. They're serious serum in here all Let's still reserve it's a No, this is a serum So a serum is different than moisturizer. So a serum, that's about $100. Like vitamin, like C or air, whatever. And so that's something. Yeah, you put that on your skin and then you put moisturizer on top. So like a serum. I put that on last.

Yeah, so you should switch that on. Okay, here we go. So you should know I shouldn't because obviously what I'm doing is working. No, it smells good, but I'm worried about the sunscreen. We really need to add the sunscreen, so we need to wash. Look at the shade. No, look at this. This is the best journalism that metal arc is done.

She has unmasked, unmasked, not literally. The scoop, yes, like the scoop man has a serum and moisturizers and skin. I'm a ball dude. You said it was your natural must. It is my natural must with that. I told you it was a moisturizer. Did I not say I wore a moisturizer?

I said it was just, you have a serum. It's different. We are not going to wear a cream and cream or tea. It's fine to me. No, it's good that he has a skin care routine. It's important. I hope you two have skin care routine. Yeah, so I actually do the lotion. I was going to say the same routine. It's important. I hope you two have skin care routine. I actually do the lotion.

I was going to say the same thing. So do I. I don't have shame on you, but I don't have a serum. I don't have $9 to spend on a serum. Yeah, $92 that he didn't even know he had spent on something called Tata. We can find you a cheaper one. I'll talk after the show. Lucy, you were fascinated by Jay Glazer's beginnings in journalism because you could not

believe that someone could live in New York. What were the totals, J, that you were earning per article? What I knew, right? So this is my consistent work. I started in 89, and again, 89 I was doing stand-up comedy, trying to box, trying to balance it, I was bartending, doing everything,

interning everywhere, like, last time I was the rich and famous, I did that one. I did that with a lot of lights. Yep, I did a fan for a while to I think two semesters and now the salary started to make sense. But there was yeah, so yeah, right to back then. But yeah, my first gig was covering the giants in 93 for this magazine that I became the assistant editor of an editor a week later and I found out why because they were bankrupt. So they said I was going to get a certain sound but I didn't. And that went on for years and I kept signing with these little magazines and they kept going out of business and bouncing

checks. So the only thing I knew is I would have I ended up covering the near post. I got a job covering the covering the NFL of the near post for 250 bucks, a story, which came out to nine grand a year. And I had a sell each week to Greg Gallo, the editor over there, each week, like, I'm gonna have this, like, he wouldn't just take it. I had to have scoop, like, and that's where it kind of got, you know, got the ability to, to make sure I have scoop or make sure whatever I have is when I come on Fox and I will Sunday on Sunday.

Same thing is when I did newspapers back in the day. Those first the lead, right, this newspaper guy, I had to sell it to my editor so I can get my 250 bucks that week. Because if I didn't, I was screwed. And then New York 1TV hired me to do Jet's Giant Show, which they paid me a car service each week for the first couple of years. And then they agreed to give me $450 a year. If I can get myself to the Super Bowl, I could learn how to do stand up.

And it hits down there. And they would pay me $150 for three of them. So it was 9,450 bucks a year for those 11 years that I knew I was getting. And I lived, listen, I lived in some bad areas. I thought I was tough. I wasn't that tough. Yeah. How did you like afford to eat? I'm curious what you did to like sustain on that for so long.

Yeah, the giant press room, the soup bowls, I lived in that, oh my God, that first soup bowl that you were to, I had to get myself down there. The New York Post gave me the, they gave me 250 bucks for my normal Sunday story and another 100 or 200 for like eight stories after the Super Bowl. That was it, like total, not for each one. And I called friends to see if I could sleep on couches. And that's what I did. And I would try and go to the party's at did and I would try and go to the parties at night so I could eat and go to the press room so I could eat and It's something about you know again. I made that decision day one I will be the last dude standing here until somebody hires me and realize what I'm giving this being this inside

Or is gonna be a value that's the other thing too But that wasn't really a job or a career in industry. So you had a convinced these places that this is an industry and thank out of 99 CBS got their got football back the hard me being inside her for 50 grand a year and I was like, and I'll tell you what happened my agent called me at the time and I've been turned down by a million agents. Got more guys for an hour, it's time to sign in 97. He calls me Monday and he said, hey, what do you do right now? I was a little somewhere in Randall's Island, New York. And he said, you could exhale. I said, what do you mean?

He said, we finally got you a full-time job. So this is 11 years into my career. And I said, with who? He said CBS Sports. I said, I'll take it. And he said't you how one know how much it's for and I said I Don't give a Because This validated me. This is my moment when I said years ago

That I'll be the last dude standing that giant locker man. I would outwork everybody not by a little by a lot and one day Man, I would like it would pay off. This is my moments. I don't care how much it's for. And he said, well, it's for 50 grand. I was like, oh, thank you, my best friend. God almighty in heaven. I could pay all my bills.

That's the thing, too. I wouldn't pay all my bills, so like, Jersey was always awesome. Gas was off. Rent, I would always chase me for that. Only my phone bill had to make sure that enough to pay. And I would just kind of rotated all the time It was just being a survivor and it was exhausting and then I just built it from there and

With the CBS thing kid oh a couple weeks. It's surely after CBS Sportsland.com Which is for another 50 so I went from and then local CBS for like 35 So I went from 9,450 for all those years being so broke to 135,000, which I will tell you this, it was, it's great, but it was exhausting. And trying to be great is lonely and trying to be successful is exhausting, right? You guys know, I can exhausted trying

to be better at what you try to be better at for 25 years where you're competing against every market. No, I don't. Not just that also trying to be a standup comedian too and make it there. That's also. But that's also a super difficult injury and you're dealing with failure a lot. And you know what? That was the hardest thing I ever did because I know control over it. I've helped. I've had to fell if you had a great set still like, man, if the person before you was terrible or, uh, I don't know, the waiter is terrible or whatever. Well, there's a lot of things that aren't in your control.

That kind of drove me crazy. But even back then, I'm like, I'm going to try everything I can. I was going to try boxing. I wasn't good at that. I was going gonna try boxing. I wasn't good at that. I was gonna try stand up comedy. I wasn't made for that. You know, thank God sports was the one that stepped up and I was able to get the job.

But it was an 11 year journey. That overnight success was 11 years. There is no, you know, secret in my successes. It's overnight. Find out who the best is and do more than them. And that's what I try to do. And it took me 11 years to do that and get that break. And again, thank God it.

Then I was just relentless and just kept at it. I wanna ask you if you're proud of yourself and if you love yourself, but the dolphins, I think people want to say, I think they probably just wanna know what your assessment is of the dolphins. I think the dolphins are on, like, they came out so hot that if they have a hiccup, everybody

was like, oh, man, forget, no, no, no, it's a journey, like this, this football season is a journey. And even like, there's still a value in certain things. You're still kind of piling up, okay, what's going to work for us later on in the year, right? Look at, like, Phil and Elf here, with the Tush push. We talk about this. I was in there, they were team meeting a couple weeks ago before they played the Rams and Nick Sarah and he's fine that I say this, but he's in there talking about the Tush push and they're going over, look how much we've worked on this from last year to this year.

Look at the detail. This is why we're better at it than everybody else. It wasn't just, hey, we started this last year and we're great out of the gates. Right? We've worked on it over and over and over and over and got progressively better and we're better at it this year than we were last year. Same way like these teams like the dolphins and Niners and other, you know, especially these great offensive coaches, they're going to continue to work on things that they are going to fine tune as the year goes on and they're going to start standing out a lot more.

The dolphins will be standing there at the end of the season. Absolutely. Mike McDaniel said after the game, and again, Salem Ramsey paid. They said losses are good occasionally. Losses can be good. Yes, absolutely. A million percent because that's when you, again, you find who you are, you find out who's really on board with you, you find out who starts, you know, pulling away and

starts talking shit about the coaches and that. You really find out, oh, but Philadelphia, though, we know Philadelphia is good. And for them to have a play like, yeah, you've never even seen this. For them to have a play where they can just be stronger than you. And people complain about, let's change the rules. We don't like that. They can do this. Like in that sport, to have a play that's not stopable. Yeah, but that's to take that play away from them. That's if you want to get greater or also, yeah, you have to get a quarterback like that. You have to get a center like that.

It's not too many of Jason Kelsey's out there and that offensive line, but they work it. They practice, they practice, they practice it. I don't know. I don't think everybody else practices it the way they do. And even like for the Kelsey to say, hey, now I have to tell the rest that I put my other hand down there. So I can brace for myself. I think he's, you know, he might be the only standard that's figured it out because they

work at it so much. He's trying to get lower. I was actually talking about that. I was watching the game with me and guys. Levin's is everything, baby. That's what I was sure. Guys went. That's not looking me.

Louis, and we were talking about how everyone's actually pretty good at this play in the league. They invented it essentially, the brother Lee Shovon. They've perfected it. They're better than everybody else, but everybody's pretty good at it. What is the argument against it because we were talking about a healthy safety and a get hurt, but they're having been injuries. I know that. I think people were just pissed off because they're better than everybody else, but that's also like saying, hey, you know what? The leagues changing, you can't hit, you know, like these receivers kind of get, you know, run free a lot more now.

So you don't have possession receipts. We're gonna go for a lot faster receivers now. And that's saying, well, it's not fair that the dolphins have, you know, Tyree Kill and Waddle and all these fast receivers. That's not fair, it's not fair. No, like you go get a bunch of fast receivers. But so I'm against banning that a billion percent. But you do love yourself.

I mean, clearly spending $92 on a serum. My girl does that. Sometimes. I'm learning too. It's a process. Learning too. What would you, who is making over just over $9,000 a year, tell you future you that is wearing a $92 serum. Just curious how that could jackpot.
