In this third hour of the Bart & Carlin Podcast, the hosts dive deep into the New York Jets' offseason challenges, focusing on head coach Aaron Glenn's rocky first year and the high-stakes pressure of his 'prove-it' second season. They dissect Glenn's decision-making, particularly his trust in quarterback Justin Fields and defensive coordinator Wilkes, and question whether holding out for a higher salary created friction with owner Woody Johnson. The conversation shifts to the team’s new defensive structure, with Glenn now calling plays, raising concerns about his ability to manage both offense and defense effectively—potentially creating a de facto dual-head-coach scenario with Frank Reich. The hosts also explore the broader cultural and logistical absurdities of modern life, from the dangers of 7-Eleven shelves to the hidden costs of car repairs, especially with advanced sensor-equipped windshields. A personal story about a windshield cracked twice in seven weeks leads to a broader rant about insurance, auto repair scams, and the inevitability of being 'fleeced'—a theme echoed in their discussion of extended warranties and corporate opacity. The episode closes with a humorous deep dive into 'Drop Madness,' where Bart recounts nearly dying during a live college football broadcast due to a choking incident from a chewable antacid, setting up a showdown against Don’s son Marco in the next round.
Aaron Glenn's second year as Jets head coach is a 'prove-it' season after a disastrous 3-14 debut, with high expectations and no room for error.
The Jets' defensive struggles stem not just from personnel but from poor coaching decisions, including misplaced trust in underperforming coordinators.
Glenn’s decision to hold out for a high salary may have strained his relationship with owner Woody Johnson, contributing to a lack of support during the season.
Modern car repairs are increasingly expensive due to embedded sensors and technology, with windshield replacements costing $400–$500 and often requiring recalibration.
Insurance claims for windshield damage can lead to premium hikes, making it a financial trap despite 'no deductible' policies.

I had this discussion with Diana Rossini because her father's a plumber, and at one point we had an issue in our house that we had to get addressed and called in a plumber, and he's like, oh, you've got to do this, you've got to do that, you've got to do this. And I just said to Diana, listen, I'm not asking you to call your father. Just tell me if I'm getting screwed here. She said, no, you're getting screwed. And I said, you haven't even looked at it yet. She said, no, I know. They're screwing everybody. This is what they do.”
