So that's your face that's smelling.

[00:00:14]

Come on.

[00:00:15]

Get out of my head.

[00:00:16]

Jay.

[00:00:17]

Yep. That's jay.

[00:00:18]

It is not the musk.

[00:00:20]

I'm telling you, that's all it is. What is the name of it?

[00:00:22]

What is tattoo?

[00:00:23]

Harper resurfacing cream.

[00:00:25]

Let's just get your whole skin moisturizer.

[00:00:27]

Well, let's just go. This is the content now?

[00:00:29]

Yes.

[00:00:30]

$92. That's what I'm paying for this.

[00:00:35]

It is a high end lotion.

[00:00:40]

Tata Harper. You smell expensive. I'm glad. But it's a lotion.

[00:00:44]

It's not a cologne than any cologne.

[00:00:47]

I've ever heard of.

[00:00:48]

Yeah. Can I see it, please? Is this the only part of your skincare routine?

[00:00:53]

No, there's three of those different bottles here.

[00:00:55]

Okay, so you have three moisturizer. This is not a moisturizer. This is a serum.

[00:01:01]

Hold on, then I got wait a minute. You said it was no.

[00:01:18]

Massage one or two pumps onto your face and neck and follow his eye treatment, which I don't do. It's a moisturizer.

[00:01:25]

Okay, so I'm worried about your skincare routine now because I know you don't wear sunscreen and you need that the serum. You need a moisturizer. No. So we have a serum. A moisturizer.

[00:01:36]

And you have a multi pronged skincare.

[00:01:42]

It's good to have a nice skincare.

[00:01:44]

Yeah, but you also can't just roll in all humble.

[00:01:46]

Hot girl takes care of me. I don't know.

[00:01:48]

You're spending about $200 on your skincare routine smelling all good. Saying no. It's just me. Come on.

[00:01:53]

Correction.

[00:01:54]

False humility. She is okay, but false humility.

[00:01:56]

Jay, I feel like you have just been unmasked before us.

[00:02:03]

You might actually be wearing a skincare mask cologne there's. No, never.

[00:02:07]

I've been in Hollywood for 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 learned my research serum.

[00:02:21]

So happy to got Lucy on the case.

[00:02:22]

Is it not moisturizer?

[00:02:23]

No, this is a serum. So a serum different than a moisturizer? Like vitamin in, like, sea or air or whatever? Yeah, you put that on your skin and then you put moisturizer on top. Yeah. So you should switch that order. Okay.

[00:02:43]

No, I shouldn't, because obviously what I'm doing is working.

[00:02:45]

No, it smells good, but I'm worried one about the sunscreen. We really need to add the sunscreen. So we need to wash.

[00:02:53]

No.

[00:02:53]

Look at his body language. This is the best journalism that Metal Arc has done. She has unmasked. Unmasked. Quite literally. Yes. Like the scoop man has a serum and moisturizers, and I'm a bald dude. It was your natural must.

[00:03:09]

It is my natural must with that. I told you it was a moisturizer. Did I not say I wore moisturizer?

[00:03:15]

You have a serum.

[00:03:15]

It's different.

[00:03:16]

We are not vitamins.

[00:03:20]

No, it's good that he has a skincare routine. It's important. I hope you two have skincare routine.

[00:03:24]

I actually do the lotion.

[00:03:26]

I was going to say the same thing. So do I. Shame on you.

[00:03:29]

Don't have a serum.

[00:03:30]

Shame.

[00:03:30]

I don't have $93 to spend on a serum.

[00:03:33]

$92 that he didn't even know he had spent on something called Tata.

[00:03:37]

We can find you a cheaper one. We'll talk after the show.

[00:03:39]

Lucy, you were fascinated by Jay Glaser's beginnings in journalism because you could not believe that someone could live in New York. What were the totals, Jay, that you were earning per article?

[00:03:50]

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. I was balancing. I was bartending and doing everything. Interning everywhere, like lifestyles, the rich and famous. I did that one.

[00:04:03]

You did that with Robin Leach?

[00:04:05]

Yes, I did fan for a while, I think two semesters now.

[00:04:10]

The salary is starting to make sense.

[00:04:13]

Yeah. Radio back then, but 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 salary, 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 New York Post. I got a job covering the covering the NFL for the New York Post for $250 a story, which came out to nine grand a year. And I had to sell each week to Greg Gallo, the editor over there, each week like, I'm going to have this. He wouldn't just take it. I had to have scoop. And that's where I kind of got the ability to make sure I have scoop or make sure whatever I have is when I come on Fox and Evil Sunday on Sunday. Same thing as when I did newspapers back in the day. Those first, the lead, right?

[00:05:10]

This newspaper guy, I had to sell it to my editor so I can get my $250 that week, because if I didn't, I was screwed. And then New York One TV hired me to do a jets 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 hits down there, and they would pay me $150 for three of them. So it was $9,450 a year for those eleven 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.

[00:05:46]

How did you afford to eat? I'm curious what you did to sustain on that for so long.

[00:05:52]

The giant press room, the soup bowls. I lived in that oh, my God, that first soup bowl that year, too, I had to get myself down there. The New York Post gave me the they gave me $250 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 parties at night so I could eat and go to the press room so I could eat. And it's something about 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 insider is going to be of value. That was the other thing, too. That wasn't really a job or a career, an industry. So you had to convince these places that this is an industry. And thank God, in 99, CBS got football back. They hired me to be an insider for 50 grand a year. And I was like and I'll tell you what happened.

[00:06:56]

My agent called me at the time, and I been turned down by a million agents. Got more guy's friend now signed in 97. He calls me one day, and he said, hey, what are you doing right now? And I was somewhere in Randall's Island, New York. And he said, you could excel. I said, what do you mean? He said, we finally got you a full time job. This is eleven years into my career. And I said, with who? He said, CBS Sports. I said, I'll take it. And he said, don't you want to 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 room, and I would outwork everybody. Not by a little, by a lot. And one day, man, it would pay off. This is my moment. 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.

[00:07:52]

God Almighty in heaven.

[00:07:53]

I could pay all my bills. That's the thing, too. I wouldn't pay my bills. So electricity was always off, gas was off, rent. They're always chasing me for that. Only my phone bill. I had to make sure that enough to pay. And I would just kind of rotate it all the time. And it was just being a survivor, and it was exhausting. And then I just built it from there. And with the CBS thing came a couple of weeks shortly after Cbsportsline.com, which is for another 50, and then local CBS for like, 35. So I went from 9450 for all those years being so broke to 135,000, which I will tell you this. 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? Exhausting.

[00:08:48]

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.

[00:08:55]

Not just that. Also trying to be a stand up comedian, too, and make it there, which is also wrong, but that's also a super difficult injury and you're dealing with failure a lot.

[00:09:04]

And you know what? That was the hardest thing ever did because I had no control over it. I felt that felt if you had a great set still, like, man, if the person before you is terrible or, I don't know, the waiter is terrible or whatever, 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 going to die. I was going to try stand up. Comedy wasn't made for that, thank God. Sports was the one that stepped up and I was able to get the job. But it was an eleven year journey. That overnight success was eleven years. There is no secret of my success. 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 eleven years to do that and get that break. And again, thank God that I was just relentless and just kept at it.

[00:09:53]

I want to ask you if you're proud of yourself and if you love yourself, but the Dolphins, I think people want to I think they probably just want to know what your assessment is of the Dolphins.

[00:10:02]

I think the Dolphins are on like, they came out so hot that if they have a hiccup, everybody was, no, no, it's a journey. Like this football season is a journey. And even like they're still evaluating 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 Philadelphia with tush push. We talk about this. I was in their team meeting a couple weeks ago before they played the Rams, and he's fine that I say this, but he's in there talking about the tushbush, 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 gotten progressively better, and we're better at it this year than we were last year. Same with these teams like the Dolphins and Niners, 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.

[00:11:06]

The Dolphins will be staying there at the end of the season. Absolutely.

[00:11:09]

Mike McDaniel said after the game, and.

[00:11:10]

They'Re getting Jalen Ramsey back.

[00:11:12]

They said losses are good occasionally. Losses, yes, absolutely.

[00:11:15]

A million percent. Because that's when again, you find out who you are. You find out who's really on board with you. You find out who know pulling away and starts talking about the coaches and that you really find out.

[00:11:27]

Philadelphia, though, we know Philadelphia is good. And for them to have a play like Jay, 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 they can do this in that sport. To have a play that's not stoppable.

[00:11:46]

But that's to take that play away from them. If you want to get great at also, yeah, you have to get a quarterback like that. You have to get a center like that. Not too many of Jason Kelsey's out there and that offensive line, but they work at it. They practice, they practice, they practice it. I don't think everybody else practices the way they do. And even like for the Kelsey to say, hey, now I have to tell the refs that I put my other hand down there so I can brace for myself. He might be the only center that's figured it out because they work at.

[00:12:13]

It so much, teams are trying to get lower. I was actually talking about that. I was watching the game with Mina.

[00:12:17]

Leverage is everything, baby. That's why short guys win.

[00:12:19]

That's not a look at me, Louie. And we were talking about how everyone's actually pretty good at this play in the league. They invented it essentially the Brother Lee shove and 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 health.

[00:12:34]

You're going to get hurt.

[00:12:35]

But there haven't been injuries.

[00:12:36]

I know that. I think people are just pissed off because they're better than everybody else. But that's also like saying, hey, you know what? The league's changing. You can't hit these receivers kind of get run free a lot more now so you don't have possession. We're going to go for a lot faster receivers now. And that's saying, well, it's not fair that the Dolphins have Tyreek Hill 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. So I'm against banning that a billion percent. But you do love yourself.

[00:13:09]

I mean, clearly spending $92 on a.

[00:13:11]

Serum, my girl does that sometimes. I'm learning to. It's a process.

[00:13:17]

Learning to 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 jackpot it.
