Episode Transcript

(00:00):
It's time for the Top four fourwith Levac and Guze. Time for the
four biking stories in the world.Those sports is brought to you have Mohawk
Honda where they always go out oftheir way to please you guys for story.
Please Well, Vac, can Iinterest you in NIT basketball? Huh?
Maybe? No? Well, ourBig Fox as they call it,

(00:22):
ooh, we're on TV woo.Allegedly next year Fox is gonna have a
sixteen team tournament to rival the NITthat's coming in twenty twenty five. But
tonight t call old school NIT.Seven o'clock tip off is Indiana State takes
on Seaton Hall. Similar colors lightblue and white. Maybe this is the

(00:43):
end of the NIT. That's myquestion for you, Lovac. After hearing
all the teams opt out of theNIT because of the transfer portal and what
the meaning of the game might beand recruiting and everything else, and hearing
that there's another tournament on the wayto compete with the n IT, is
this the swan song for the importanceof the NASH you know, Invitational Tournament.
I don't. I don't think so, because didn't what the n I

(01:04):
T replaced what the CBI wasn't thatlike how how it started? So the
n I T has always been around, but way back when, because last
teams made the NC double A Tournament, we viewed as it's a big deal.
The CBI you're talking about was supposedto be this Fox tournament. So
there was the n T, thenthe CBI. Oh, there was an

(01:25):
Internet tournament, then COVID hit.Now they're coming back. You're right,
everything not called the NC double aTournament for the last few decades has felt
like aren't you all the same thing? And but the thing that's always like
mes rized and amazed me is ifyou fang, if you find the right
way to pitch your tournament, toshow off your tournament, to highlight the

(01:45):
athletes in your tournament, people aregonna complain in it. A reason a
lot of teams didn't playing to thisyear is their their players either you know,
transfer, are transferring, declared forthe draft, whatever. So it's
like, oh, don't you wantto get your players more experience? Yeah,
sure, I'd love to. Whereare they like, but if you
could find a way to be like, hey, why don't you why don't

(02:06):
you stay on your team for aweek or two more and you know jay
Z will be here and this willhappen. And I don't know why jay
Z is the only name I comeup with. It is, but like
you could do more with it,you know what I mean. But like
it's it's amazing how hard it isfor these these things to realize how to
market And you watch the Women's tournamentthis year, which has done an amazing

(02:29):
job of marketing at stars, andit's just keep marketing, creating and marketing
stars and you could get people toplay in any tournament. Maybe Yellen's scream
about the transfer portal to how theNCAA has to change their schedule and it's
not fair, and people look atfootball as well during bowl season. I
would love to ask a coach oran administrator, somebody in a position of

(02:49):
power. Probably have to be offthe record because they don't want to take
heat for this, But it feelslike it's an easy answer as to why
the portal has to open. Don'tthey have to enroll at the other school,
Like you can't really do it becauseyou have to like transfer, you
have to like get your credits andfind out what grades you're in and how
you're gonna graduate. I know someschool good one guys, But like I

(03:09):
feel like you can't really change thecalendar if these guys and girls they both
have opportunities to transfer. Can't reallymove it if you gotta go to school.
So yeah, the n IT hasbeen hurt by the transfer portal.
It's been hurt by competing tournaments.Yeah, you know what, I don't
know if I'll care at all orever more about the n IT than I
do today. It's more like they'llcare less about it than more about it.

(03:31):
For the future, we will wanta story number three. We got
some afternoon action in baseball, andMets are a part of the double header.
I'll give you more updates on theMets if they get back to my
emails. Uh, Nationals and Piratesunderway in a few minutes. Same goes
for the Guardians and the Twins,Cardinals and Marlins all getting underway in this
four o'clock window, and the Royalsand White Sox uh Levac. Not a

(03:54):
heavy hitter set of games right there, But the Mets problem the most important
of the entire mix. And wewere packed yesterday with baseball across the board,
with many more teams playing, especiallyI mean the Mets have You've lost
a lot of games. Detroit's onlycoming into to you once this year,
so you got the double header today. Mets fan is all but quit this

(04:17):
year. I've noticed already. Andso I'd like to see the Mets go
out there maybe you know, Iknow, I know, strong performance in
the first game. Can they goout there? Handle everything? It just
let's go Mets, you know,at some I want to see the Mets
whin all the things I've abled toyou, let me use my emails.
I've been able to turn the TVon it here. I don't even know

(04:38):
what's going on in the world,but hopefully the Mets is just handling business
today. Do you let's play thisgame. I know we didn't get a
chance to mention this yet. Haveyou heard the story about the Phillies and
the rain out and the Reds andeverything. The rumor going on involving the
Phillies and the Reds is one ofthe reasons they actually couldn't play because of
rain and everything else today and theyplayed yesterday. Was that there was a

(05:00):
wedding booked at Citizens Bank Ballpark.That can't be wrong. It's been all
over the internet. The Bleacher Reportsites have claimed that it's not true.
I think about this A shout outto Mike on Twitter had a hilarious suggestion
that it's absolutely true because some boogereaters like me probably booked a wweest style
wedding because WrestleMania is in Philly andthey have events Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

(05:25):
That's some super wrestling fan had aton of money and booked a wrestling
them to wedding at the home ofthe Phillies. I don't know who to
believe because it's been one of thosedays. I got some other things of
who to believe later in this hourabout social media and more. But I
liked that story. Whether it's trueor not, I think there might be
a truth somewhere there. So canyou imagine on my head like you can't

(05:47):
see, my head's about the popSo you play at a facility, it's
your facility. Someone rented out oneof your off days. But you're an
East Coast outdoor venue that's hosting gamesin early April. So somebody didn't have
the foresight to keep that date openso that you could you could you could

(06:11):
utilize it because somebody wanted to getmarried. That better be that better be
a million dollar wedding. How didthe report happen? Like some of the
no, no, no, it'snot true. We're not having okay,
So where did it come from?Someone just tossed a hilarious idea that the
wedding had been booked. And that'swhy I didn't maybe like everyone's denying Denine,
Denine, Denine because they probably feelembarrassed. Where did it come from?

(06:34):
Just some random tweet? We allran with it. That's possible.
I mean, it really is anthe Bronic James stuff. I know people
are going nuts about whether or nothe hit the portal. I don't know
if that's true or not. It'svery possible. I want to believe it's
not, though I want to believe. I want to believe it was a
wedding. I do. When weveon a story number two, we're kind
of cheating here, at least meabout what story two and story one is.
Story number two is action on thecourt, Sixers in heat, Hawks

(06:58):
and Mavericks, Warriors and Rockets,Nuggets and Clippers. That's a great game
tonight, ten o'clock tip off onthe West Coast. But it's our new
York Knicks coverage. The next takeon the Kings are coverage gets underway.
It's seven tip off set for seventhirty injuries. You know what, I'm
just gonna jump ahead the story numberone. We did this in the first
hour of the show. If youmissed it, Apple, Spotify, the
iHeart app, you can always listento the hag Gas on demand on the

(07:19):
digital side. Julius Randalls out andto add that Capital Region connection as well.
We really didn't get a chance totouch on this. Kevin Herder also
season over. I believe they're thesame injury. Both have suffered shoulder injuries.
I believe both torn labrams. SoHerder got scratched. I believe last
Friday for the rest of the season. Randall gets scratched today. Shoulder injuries.

(07:43):
This is exact opposite of what thevoice of the Capitol Regions sports fan
would want. An impact player goesdown for the Knicks, and we touched
on that impact. Yeah, andKevin Herder's done for the season two for
the King Well, it's you know, listen, when you when you really
think about the style of play thatRandall has, that shoulder injury is a
problem because he like he gets in, he lowers the shoulder, he bowls

(08:03):
around a little bit. You know, it's a big part of his game.
If they're saying he could make itworse that way, Okay, obviously
now he can't be on the onthe quarter anymore. It stinks. But
now all I'm hoping is that weget everybody else back. Can Miss Robinson
return, Can O g Anobi return? Can you know? Is his heart
gonna be healthy? Is like,there's just h It's we're in fifth spot

(08:30):
right now, fifth seed in theEast is your New York Knicks. Let's
just let's just finish strong, stayaround that four or five spot even and
is as healthy as you can be? It is? It is so Knicks
though, Knicks fan. The twoyears ago before Randall got there, all
that stuff, we couldn't. Wewould do anything you would ask us to
do to get rid of Julius Randall. And now we're sitting there going,

(08:52):
what are we gonna do without JuliusRandall? Very it feels very Knicks fan
to me one more time on this. The part that's the worst for the
nixt is that you got it right. You have any off seasons, you
know, me trades. You howmany moves the Knicks have gotten wrong twenty
five years and this finally felt like, you know what, Lavac and I
got no criticism for what the Knickshave done. Here you go, here's

(09:15):
a lot up to do it.Let's see everybody at full strength, full
health, Uh, Randall, Whatyou don't get to see how good this
Knick team could really be. Feellike you get cheated as a fan to
not find out how much potential andhow deep this team could be. Look,
they's not gonna play the game,They're going to playoffs, but that
could be Unfortunately the storyline that happensfor the rest of April and May of
what this team could have done ifRandall was on the floor. Yeah,

(09:39):
it's it's definitely it's things. It'snot what I was hoping for. But
you know, listen, you carryon if you get Ogannobe back and mister
Robinson and everybody says, the restof the team is able to stay healthy
or or get locked into their seagullarrest and then maybe make a run,
maybe make a run. I'm lessconfident than I was not too long ago.
Speaking the great teams, how aboutour team USX pest Control. Yeah,

(10:03):

(11:09):
you is, Coach Rowland, It'sbeen nearly four plus years since on the
radio side, you and I havetalked to coach Derek Rowland, Senior coach
Rowland's gonna join us next Fox Sportsninety five nine and nine eighty debut Levac,
I love it. Let's go backand guys on the Voice of the
Capitol Regions sports Fan Fox Sports ninetyfive nine and nine eighty. I know

(11:33):
some of you will find this hardto believe, but there's days that I
do this show with guys and Igo should I have come back to sports
talk? Should I have? Heshould? But this is one of the
moments that I'm I'm absolutely thrilled Idid because the last time we spoke to
head coach of the Almany Patruons,Derek Rowland, we were on a different
station and he had just caught wordabout what's going on with the team because

(11:54):
of COVID UH and and coach thepassion that you had for the team came
through in that moment, and it'smade me. If I wasn't already a
fan of yours, it made mea fan of yours tenfold more. And
I'm so happy you're back. AndI'm so happy that I'm on the radio
where I get to talk to you. Yeah, and guys, I'm so

(12:16):
happy to be back and happy totalk to you guys on the radio.
And life is good, man,doing what I love to do, and
it's a it's a good thing.It's a really good thing. And you
just so happen to have a prettygood basketball team with you too. Yeah,
Okay, I've got a few ofmy friends. Yeah, we got,
we got. We got a verytalented team. We're getting better as

(12:37):
we move forward, still making someadjustments because you know, we have to
be exceptional to win it all inthis level. So I'm just making adjustments
and my troops are falling in place. So I'm really happy where we are
and looking forward to the future.We had an opportunity to last week to
talk to the Big Boss, SamClifford. He mentioned that with professional ranks

(12:58):
like this, how hard it isto keep a roster to come back for
the following season. But do youfeel like that's been one of the strengths
of this team that you've been ableto build that chemistry, that camaraderie with
that unit you have on this yearsquad. Oh, you definitely. You
know, we we we thought wewe left something on the table by getting
beating the semi finals last year atthe Buzzer. A lot of players recommitted

(13:20):
and I'm just adding pieces as wego move along. So to get to
get six of my guys back tothe last year, it's it's a great
start, you know, because wedon't we tweaked the system. We don't
have to, you know, it'sjust different. You know, you can
just start out running as opposed toteaching and getting chemistry guards. So we
will starting out pretty good, andwe definitely have to get better. Coach

(13:41):
rolling of the audity patrunzlis right now, Fox Sports Radio ninety five. Uh,
you know, coach, I havea role with you know, Arena
football in the area, and oneof the one of the powers the players
have at this level is they canthey can just go like, hey,
I don't love everything that happened inalready last year I'm gonna go somewhere else.
It's a major compliment to you andthe patroons that that all these guys

(14:03):
were like, not only we likeit, we're coming back. Let's lace
them up. We're coming back,man. And you know we we treat
our planers well. They know thatwe playing the historic arena. They know
that when we played with playing forhistory, and they know that they're going
to learn and win here and youknow we we look after you guys.
So it's it's still very rare tohave six guys come back to no matter

(14:26):
what's going on, because guys,there's leagues and opportunities all over the place
Europe and you got the Canadian League. There's a lot of option other TVL
teams, you know, so upwith watuning it. That's just the testament
to uh to the ownership and inwhat they do here for the players and
to push that even further with Levacsaid it's tough at the professional ranks at
times in comparison to college or highschool. And we talked about local and

(14:48):
regional to follow the history and thetradition of a franchise, but with the
al many patroons have brought whether it'sdecades ago or most recently, and I'll
say this for a second time,in back to back weeks, I think
there were some official let's get youfind coach. I think you guys had
some things go against you that wecan't really control in those matchups. That
these guys that understand the tradition ofthe Patroons, that that could also be

(15:09):
a rarity when it gets the prosports. Oh absolutely, you know,
the officials, I you know,it seems like I just don't know what
it is. And I hate toeven talk about the officials or blame the
officials or you know, but itjust seems like we always have an extra
state of climb in a lot ofcases. You know. You know,
maybe it's the history that we haveand the expect us to win and so

(15:31):
on and so forth, but youknow, we still move forward. We
have a target on our back everygame. You know, every team wants
to beat the Platoons because of thechampionships and the history and everything else that
comes with us. So we geteverybody's best punch, which I kind of
like because it gets us ready forthe backstretch. So it's a tough road
to go, but I wouldn't haveit any other way. What do you

(15:54):
make of this? This Derek Rowlandjunior on your roster? How good is
that kid? I picked? Ipicked him up at the bus station.
Man, he said he wanted toplay. I don't know. I gave
him my name, you know.No, he's having a really good year
so far. You know, heworked hard this summer and it's paying off

(16:18):
for him. You know, Ialways knew, you know, what he's
capable of doing. And uh andme as his dad and been with him
since he was, you know,a toddler playing basketball. I kind of
know his what you know, whathe needs to do, and he's been
doing it and uh, and he'sjust out there, you know, just
like one of the other guys,putting the work in. And so far

(16:38):
he's having success. Coach a lotof your guys play above the rim.
Is that is that big in recruiting, Like just to have that extra excitement
of guys going up and slamming itdown. Yes, absolutely, you know
this is entertainment, you know,the tbl is you know, I mean,
nobody wants to come and watch aboring type of game, you know,
no matter what level it is.So I I do understand the side

(16:59):
of entertainment and having the fans getexcited. So I like the guys that
play above the rim, and thatcan shoot the deep three, and that
can make the great pass and youknow, and make plays. I've always
been that way as far as whoI try to bring in, you know,
and what style of play we like. You know, we played transition
past break, you know, AllieLoup above the rim, you know,
a type of game. So weyou know, we got a couple of

(17:23):
tough losses at the Harmony, butthe fans is like the two of the
greatest games they've ever seen there,you know, it's the one two point
game. But the style of playand the competitiveness that we played with,
that's a good thing. The originalarticle Derek Roland, was right now on
Fox Sports Radio ninety five nine eightyAlbanny Patrin's basketball dot Com, So you
can find all the information about thisyear squad and more there. Back at

(17:45):
home this Saturday is the host theRhode Island Cracking at seven o'clock. But
before you get the Cracking back inthe five one to eight, you guys
headed Connecticuts take on the Crusaders Fridaynight. For those who've been following the
sports world, we know that theYukon men's bad basketball team has had some
travel issues even again to the finalfour. You guys are headed into Connecticut,
coach, is there any issues withtravel or this weekend? No.

(18:08):
I got some breaking news that Idon't know if Sam didn't break it to
you, that the venue has beenchanged to the Washington Avenue Army for Friday
night because they had a venue isthere. Well, there we go breaking
news right here, Fox Sports.Yeah, that's right. You know,
it's been out there. We've beentalking about it. It's been on our

(18:29):
social media, and I've talked to, you know, a couple of people
about a couple of new stations.But yes, that game is home on
Friday night. We played Friday nightagainst Connecticut and Saturday night against Rhode Island.
All right, so two chances thisweekend to go cheer on the Patroons
and be a part of the armory. The energy in there is electric.
That's great. Like listen, Imean, any chance you get to take

(18:52):
on the crack and that's fun.Because I heard, as I said to
uh Sam last week, I heardthe mascot's name is Filma no that day,
but as a serious stay Connecticut standfilm out everybody else. Gosh,
hey, I know, man,but anytime I can not have to go

(19:12):
on the road tripment music to myears, Man, I'm probably putting a
million miles in my career, youknow. So anytime I get a chance
to stay home and play in frontof our fans, just a great thing
for us. All right. Soso the Crusaders, You're gonna make the
Crusaders Crusade. That's gonna be.That's gonna be on the fifth, and
then and then Filma and the Krakensgo down on the sixth. You don't

(19:33):
know that. I don't know,man. I just want to be they
could be anybody. We just needto win, man in that. It's
just so gonna hear you laughing,brother, because I mean again, hey,
this is where you belong. Fouryears is too long. Hey,
I know, man. I alwayshave a great time talking to you guys,

(19:55):
and I appreciate you having me onand I look forward to to seeing
you guys at some point, mendown at the Armory and and we can
we can have some fun. Wegotta have one other thing. Coach did
this in his car and he claimedhe parallel parked. How did the parallel
parking go? Like? Were yougood at it? You need to practice?
Hey, I want Hey, Ione shot, one take all takes

(20:18):
right in there bag. You knowI drive more than I do anything else,
you know what I mean? SoI should be pretty good at it.
But but you have to damn onthe first shot because I had the
pressure. I had you guys lateon me, you know what I mean.
So I came. I came topressure is a privilege, That's right,
Coach Derek Rolan, Man, weappreciate you so much. Everybody,

(20:41):
get over to the Armory Friday.You got the Crusaders coming to town now.
Uh, Saturday, Filma and theKrakens from Rhode Island will be here.
Uh. They're gonna get dunked allover. It's gonna be a lot
of fun, and you could bethere for it. A lot of fun,
A lot of fun. Got fun, all right, coach Man.
We appreciate you. Now, yougotta get out of that parallel spot just
as well as you got into it. I got get out, man.
That's why I ask. That's it, Okay, I don't know, like

(21:07):
so I missed the dates up,you flipped the locations. Well oiled machine.
Well, he must think we haven'tbeen on radio since let's let me
talk to us four years ago.Here's the thing with the Patruth, Sam
and coach everybody else, like itis a hopefully have a fun and experience
listening to the interviews that we havewith them. You don't truly know what
to expect with the patroons of theback gus and sometimes we don't know what

(21:30):
to expect with the patroons, Andthank you for being patient with us.
We'll say it is. And youknow again that level the Patroons, the
Firebirds, at that level of athleticcompetition, there is there's a give and
take. So like if Connecticut hasan issue, Albany can choose to help
them or take a forfeit. Youknow, I mean already chose to help

(21:52):
them and host them. And nowhere we go. And it's yeah,
so as long as as listen,the biggest game is gonna be stur tonight.
Phil McCracken's got gotta gotta you know, drop like cheap pants. That's
gonna be. It's not their name, and you you know, I know
you felt that when I asked thatquestion because you had this happen, like
I believe your first year as theteam press was it Jacksonville couldn't get on
the flighters. Wasn't the first year, but yeah, it was. That

(22:14):
was the But at least they haveit out in advance, Yes, because
that was so that you know,obviously down in Florida there's there's these like
epic weather events that happened. Therewas there was thunder and lightning, stars
all over the all the peninsula.They couldn't get out, so they got
one plane out. But when theybooked everything, everybody like you don't think
about that. They booked based onwho wanted to travel together. So all

(22:36):
of their skill players were here,none of their linemen. So we had
to we had to move the game. A day later. We we were
given the option to force a forfeitor or to move the game. Actually
I'm sorry we were never given theoption and now that I think back to
it, but we also wanted toplay and just to flip back to the
Yukon thin because again involved in thestate of Connecticut. I will dive more
to the final four matches tomorrow asa preview. Don't forget your home for

(22:59):
the final fours right here on FoxSports ninety five, nine and nine eighty.
I love some of the media type, like, oh my god,
how is Yukon gonna handle only beatin the city fifty hours before tip off?
It's all the media people. Themedia people's media availability got canceled.
That's what happens, all the reportI get it, they have a job
to do. I'm not gonna shotit, but I don't think that's going
to affect the game. Maybe I'llbe wrong, and I'm talking to you

(23:21):
con on that. And the Patruonsare pros. They're gonna be fine with
all the adjustments and coach and hissquad and Sam and everybody, they're gonna
be justified. The Patuons are areally good team. Makes In fact,
we caught a bunch of but Ithink we got the most Patroons games we'd
caught in a while last year.Go out support this team is a great
time. I'm ready to go backnow. You know, Fellaly I chased
out at one point, but notby the Patroons, not by the Patrurance.

(23:41):
But no, it's it's we gottaget over there. It's always a
blast. It's it's I mean,honestly, it's cheap. Like you talk
about having a good time on theon the cost effective level you can take.
It's like twenty bogs you get calledfive dollars bears, you get a
hot dogs, right strints and bringthe family, have a great time,
do all those things. You knowwhat you can may get there in the
Honda Pilot as well. Back,maybe I'll drive a sover and my wonderful

(24:03):
Honda Pilot got through the snow todayhad new issues driving. That's the one
thing. If it starts snowing inthe Capitol region or there's weather issues.
Have you ever walked out just likeyou know, looked down to your driveway
and thought, not only do Ihave to drive in this? Not I
don't have to drive in that.You know, when you're knocking the snow
off your car, like this iswhat I've decided to knock the snow off

(24:25):

that feeling today, maybe it's timefor a new vehicle. Head over to

Fox Sports ninety five, nine andnine eighty. I don't think I said
five six eight eight five six oneeighty five. I think that's the number
for the Integray Center. They thismorning when I was on Picks, So
you know, I knew the weatherwas gonna be an issue. Gobble or
early got over here. One ofthe reasons I've gone in my mouth is

(28:07):
I got chased out of the bathroombecause my daughter had a doctor's appointment.
So like, you know, Ibrushed my teeth, but I didn't do
like, yeah, you brush yourthere's the I'm in a hurry brush that
by, you know for something onon a Thursday you're going and then there's
like your normal brush where you're good. So I walked, I get here.
I gotta hear about eight o'clock.About eight o five, I get

(28:30):
a text from Canta. Hey man, you just do over the phone.
You don't have to drive this stuff. We can do it whatever, open
the door, I go. Itfeels like a waste of a phone call.
It does, and Quinn starts dying, no idea what I'm talking about.
Just thinks it's funny. It's allgot But it was. Yeah,
so it was on those That's howthat's how today started? Was that?
So here I is? Yes,And did Quinn declare he's the victor?

(28:52):
Does he know he's the winner?He seems like all right, so two
things. He didn't seem to wantto believe me. Okay, like I
just go because he had a teamlose and whatever in North Carolina State hurt
him, And I'm like, NorthCarolina State hurt everybody, so it doesn't
matter like it Like a lot ofpeople who don't do the brackets, they
don't understand that, like some ofthese bracketbusters are just universally bad. So

(29:15):
all does is lower the overall totalscore. It doesn't hurt your actual you
know, chance of winning. Butthen I brought up that the Sweet Sixteen
start over from from C four andthey were like, wait, what so
they're blaming you for not telling themthat there was a C four challenge for
the second for the Sweet sixteen.I told him there's a lot of things,

(29:38):
guys, that has been leaving outfor people lately, like how many
hours a day I work and allthese other things that are coming up.
So I promise you I will notleave out the anger emails from the Boston
Red Seck fans. We're gonna getto that in a second. I know
he teased it in the last breakafter coaches interview. We appreciate him.
I know we will get to that. We will get to what I consider
to be the meanest voice man we'veever had left for us. I had

(30:00):
to chop up today from Johnny andGlenn's falls. But first, I've got
two Instagram questions for you. Okay, I'll start with the first one.
This is the one, sir,Syracuse basketball fans. Do you know the
name Brooklyn Vick? Have you everheard of that name before? Brooklyn Vic
Brooklyn Vic, No, I don'tknow. Brooklyn Vick is a basketball player
in Florida. He's got over tenthousand followers on inscremens the very good player

(30:21):
as a guard. Well, heshook the Syracuse basketball fan base. Last
night is right around midnight, hedeclared he was committed to Syracuse. All
right, cool, you know coachAutry is bringing in a recruit from Florida.
Players are right in the portal.It's a good sign. I wasn't
familiar with Brooklyn Vick's work, soI'm like, Okay, let's see what
this guy's about. It looks prettygood. Yep. Come to find out,

(30:41):
coach Autry's also not familiar with BrooklynVick, who we had a full
on catfish last night. I rememberyears it's like sixteen years ago he had
the fake commit who said he wascommitting to Oregon cal and they really weren't
recruiting him. Syracuse basketball fans,you had that happened last night where a
player from Florida committed to Syracuse andthe coaches didn't know he was coming.
So you want to follow the Brooklynvic story. He can follow that he

(31:06):
is not according to the coaching staffand other reports coming to Syracuse. And
it is always like we've seen thishappen a little bit here and there.
It's not that frequent, because itis. It's got to be. It's
got to be embarrassing when you getcaught. But there's so many of these
these jackwagons who are just out forthe clicks, just out for the for
the the the clout, as thekids say. So I wonder how many

(31:29):
of them, dude, just thinkit'll be funny when they get caught in
the end. But like I've seenpeople just get drug for this kind of
stuff, like oh, I'm goingto Illinois. What you can't even spell
Illinois? Bro, Like, whatare you talking about? They had the
full photoshop graphic to the committed.Now if you get offered. Maybe the
kid didn't know the difference in offereda committed. I find that hard to

(31:51):
believe. The post has been deleted, so maybe they're maybe we'll give him
credit. Maybe there was some miscommunication, uh the second one. And I
know you don't like these questions,but we have to address it. You
have nothing to do with the AlbanyEmpire Instagram for the thousandth time, Levac
has nothing to do with the Instagramnow taken over by models one hundred and

(32:14):
ten thousand followers with it looks liketwins or models. If you follow Albany
Underscore Empire, that's not a reasonto go follow them because I just mentioned
models in bikinis. Sorry, Instawhat Instagram Albany Underscore Empire. There are
pictures of models. Let's say they'renot hanging out in the snow. I
have nothing to do for the thousandtimes, I have zero to do with

(32:36):
anything Albany Empire related. That entitywas bought by Antonio Brown, who he
and I don't see I on alot of things. I will be one
of the few people that continue tobang the drum that he owes. In
my opinion, the von Schuller familyfive percent of whatever he may have sold

(33:00):
the Instagram for, because they arefive percent owner of that team. Last
I unless he made some kind ofrestitution, which I mean he's wearing stolen
jewelry, why would he? Whywould he pay? People here in the
Capitol region. I like those guys. While you're looking at that Instagram,
can you do me a favor?Yeah? Can you go to your Gmail
or your iHeart email. You havenot seen any of these yet. We're

(33:22):
gonna do this as true as wecan. I have a bunch of angry
Boston Red Sox emails I'd like youto read if you don't mind. Okay,
there's about We're gonna do four today. Four yeah, four on the
clocks. Send my gmails. Theyball should be there. Yes, let's
let's debut a new segment. Lasttime we didn't have an intro for this,
but now I do. This isa new segment called and now we

(33:45):
return to another thrilling episode of angryBoston Red Sox fan emails read by your
lovable entertaining host Jeff Levac. Ilike that. That's very nice. I
don't know if I'm want to readhim in that style or as a Bostonian.
Okay, so, Bob is notmy first one here, Bob,

(34:06):
Yeah, Bob? Hello? WillRed Sox games be on nine to eighty
again this year? I know sometimesthe NCAA tournament games bump them early in
the season. That's it, it'snice, that's nice. It's just just
doing a little research check in wonderwhat happen when you're right back to him

(34:27):
and go, no, not Aaron, Eric, are you still broadcasting the
Red Sox one word radio broadcast thisyear? Broadcasting the broadcast? No?
Eric? Hello, Frank, howabout bringing back the Red Sox so I
don't have to listen to this screamingfrom seven to ten, who screams for

(34:49):
seven to ten? I think thatRob Parker and Chris Bussard. They're not
fans of the odd couple. Itseems. Yes, it's not a great
shot, that's not very slightly betterthan the Red Sox, but I do
like that. Frank, He's like, you know, hey, look I
have an issue. I would alsolike to offer a solution. So far,
I don't know why you're upset aboutthese emails. That one more about
programming, but okay, all right, this is a long one. What

(35:10):
would you prefer kevin'son Bostonian or dramatic? Dramatic if you can't definitely dramatic for
that one from Kevin, I justwanted to drop a note about what I
heard on your afternoon drive show.That's us. Apparently you will not be
carrying the Boston Red Sox games thisyear. As a Socks fan, this

(35:35):
is disappointing, but I can certainlyunderstand the business decision. What I cannot
understand is why I needed to beinsulted for being a Red Sox fan.
We were called losers and idiots,and the team was referred to as the
Red Sox by those Why why therewere two wives. Why alienated entire fan

(36:05):
base In that manner, these guysmade it clear that as a Sock fan,
I am not wanted as a listener. Please know that the message was
received. I will no longer bea listener. Thank you. The multiple
wives really brought that one home.Why they were multiple wives in the email.

(36:29):
Wow, it's really not happy thatlast one. So, Kevin,
you've never never heard of a sportsrivalry before. They had some good natured
ribbon going on. Huh, sucks, Kevin, have fun man like,
I said, Buck Fauston. Andhere it is. I believe Johnny and

(36:52):
Glen's falls is what we're gonna callhim, is a Red Sox fan.
Now, this message came to ournews department. Oh, our news department.
I've got some news for you.I Heeart Media of Albany. This
came to our news department on aWednesday morning. That's six forty five in
the morning. This clip was fourminutes long. I had to chop at

(37:12):
two about ninety seconds. I knowninety seconds doesn't sound long way. What
time was this? This is atsix forty five in the morning on Wednesday.
Wednesday morning, so after the Yankeesuffered their first loss. Now,
I'll tell you the first about minuteand ten seconds of this cut was him
just talking about a tragedy. Itkept going over and over, so I
had to chop all that off.So this is about the rest of it
again. We're gonna call this guyJohnny and Glen's falls calling the news department

(37:35):
at Wednesday. It's six forty fivethe morning. Here we go, yeah,
channel surf and then heard that theYankees lost their first game? What
was the tragedy in losing a game? What? You know, did the
stadium collapse or there was you knowsomething tennis drapchick on the way to the
game or whatever it is. Ifyou just connect the docs on how the

(38:00):
Yankees losing is a catastrophrasy? Thatwhat what what happened? You know?
What? What? What? Whatare done? This? What was not
in the in the in the inthe broadcast off that game? What tragedy
was it? I'm on the edgeof my seat. Please tell me,
Please share with me the tragedy thatthe Yankees suffered losing that first game.

(38:22):
That's the problem. Like you guys, I got the rivers and here and
there, and you've got every singlekid in school that's never played a sport
that you know that the one hundredpounds overweight always sits there and says,
oh wow, Garret Cheeter, don'treally this guy knows that. And Karl
Malone is no good and you knowLebron James and the Floppers. You guys
never spent two seconds on a professionalcourt in your life, yet you are

(38:45):
the experts and the critics on everything. I see one Tone shoot Ton and
No Hole at the River's Casino allthe time laughing their their egg plants about
sports and this do anything pick lackor volleyball and every other set on there
saying how this guy is so good, this guy, what a bad deal
this guy made. I'm taking advicefrom a guy that you know he self

(39:07):
the McDonald's dollar menu on bad careerchoices. I thank you so very very
touch for your your your wife's spectrumof broadcasting and you're on by you know,
UH need to bring the truth andyou know, bring this the sports.
And I'm looking to you know,to hear that. I'll say,
tune for the next you know,eight or ten seconds Johnny glass fault that

(39:34):
Johnny is that that's what we're gonnago with that one ton and no hole?
What was it? I think Ithink we were both referenced with our
large well we'll say mass, Idon't. I didn't didn't matter. We
were just know I thought you can't. I thought he had like a I
thought you had a name for theshow. Like I was like, if
you had a name for the show, I was gonna be like like if
I was like if I was oneton and you were blowhole said two tons

(39:57):
and donut hole I think was theother one and egg plants. How you
doing? I know that I knowwhat that uh, I know what that
emoji means. How you doing?Do you remember our Carl Malone rans?
I don't. I don't remember abouttickets shots of Carl alone. I never
I've referenced him at one point.I think I definitely because he's he's not
a great person. That was Iwill I will tell you this so like

(40:21):
I do feel the need to acknowledge, I'm gonna acknowledge it sense he's concerned
about my health, I do acknowledgethat them overweight. I will also let
you know that I do not goto the dollar menu. You couldn't afford
to eat where I eat, solet's just be clear on that have four
jobs. I'm not poor. I'mjust stupid. Uh, you couldn't.
You couldn't afford it, buddy,you couldn't. I can tell because if

(40:44):
it's six forty five in the morning, that's your biggest concern. Have you
been You've been holding on to whateverone of us said about Carl Malone for
all this time? Oh my god? And I love that, Like so
I would like to also redirect yourlife. So, guys, because we've
never played NBA basketball, we can'ttalk about it. Have you ever done

(41:06):
a radio show, jack Ass?Huh? Have you? I'd rather you
didn't because I'd rather you didn't criticizehim if you've never done one. I'm
just concerned that Johnny from Glenn's Fallshas been watching us for weeks at Rivers.
I'm just staring like they're the oneswho took down the Red Sox,
They're the ones who did it.Is that what set him off? With
the Red Sox part? It seemslike it. It seems like he's very

(41:29):
upset because he opened with the Yankees. He's like, who cares that the
yank so I took that. I'msorry I took that as he thought there
was an overreaction to the way thatwas being reported. Oh maybe I felt
like he was more of a Yankeefan because he opened that call scene about
and our podcast on run, there'sthe tragedy, what's the problem, and
he said he was channel surfing.So I went and did some digging.

(41:50):
I checked with our guy John Detulio, who does sports reports on g why.
I thought, oh, maybe herein the AM drive and maybe the
Tulio was having fun with it.He did not. Then I thought maybe
it had with Jonas Knox, who'sour morning show host with Leavar Arrington and
Brady Quinn. They didn't say iteither, so there's a chance he heard
someone else say that at another station. In assumed we said it, and
then called the complain to the newsdepartment, who's not a sports department,

(42:14):
about he complained about something we didn'tsay, or or was he listening to
the app movie? Because remember Idid start the show tongue in cheek like
it's the end of the world.They lost the game. I did do
that on Wednesday, I think onwhatever day they lost. I remember coming
on and be like, oh no, what would we do now? Last

(42:34):
like I don't is that better?Did he? Did he hear it and
then play it back at six am? Men called this? I don't know.
There's a lot of questions here.Just I just again, I you
know, listen, I'm more thanhappy to you know, if you want
to discuss it, you want totalk sports, I'm in let's have some
fun, you know. But ifyou're gonna sit behind hide behind your phone
and call me fat, then you'regonna hurt my feelings. I own mirrors.
I can afford those two. Butdon't accuse me of the dollar Manue.

(42:58):
I will tell you that right now, because I bought this fat,
I way overpaid for it. Ifwe're being perfectly honest. I you know
what. Also, you know thisbecause once I got the truckle of logos
on it, I try not tobe in drive through because I don't want
to hear about it. I wouldbig a big spicy chicken sandwich at Wendy's.
Guy, that's one of my favorites. You know, how nice how

(43:21):
a nice burger fib Burger the otherday may or may not have been at
Ruth Chris, you know, mayhave done some stuff. You know,
Johnny, if you see us.Please, we'll have a cordial conversation.
You have. Johnny does not havethe stones for that. I don't think
so either. I think he's clearlysomething something set him off. I'm gonna
stick by us dropping the Red Sox, and who knows, we may have
another edition of Angry Red Sox fans. He's the leader right now. A

(43:42):
four minute mess sounds familiar to me. Oh oh, it sounds like a
voice I've heard before me. SoI'm wondering if I do know who Johnny
is. But if I don't,it's funny anyway. But again, it's
such a coward thing. It's okay, though, that's all right. I
just again, yes, I'm fat. I appreciate you being worried about my
health. I do. But byyour logic, unless you have a radio

(44:05):
show that we're unaware of, youshouldn't be criticizing radio because you've never done
radio in your life. So thereyou go, right, it's time for
the play of the day. Ithink you But I think that's fair.
I think I think trying to rationalizeJohnny's thoughts, well, I'm a rational
person. Gods or blowhole, whateverthe hell your name is now, two
ton, I think it was.I think I'm two ton, I'm fatter

(44:27):
than you. You're getting I mean, you're you're not the specimen you once
were, but you're not fat.I'm taking Indiana State today in the play
that thanks to Voky, it's then final tonight. We should have had
Kaream Abdul Jabbar. We should havehad the big man in the tournament.
Who else. Maybe they could havemade a run in as an eleven seed,
Maybe they could have gone to thefinal four. I'm sorry, big

(44:50):
Al. I know you're a SeatonHall fan. Maybe you're listening right now.
You came to the office today.We appreciate you, and I thank

with the next we talked about,you know, heart being banged up and

around, I went, well,I guess we have to make thre thousand.
Now. It's like a lot Joshappreciate loose lips thing ships, buddy,

(46:00):
How dare you? How dare you? You know? Gods. One
of the reasons that I frequent thedollar menu is UH, I have a
financial plan that uh that has beenset forward for me and my my investing
and uh it fits my budget,you know, because because failing to plan
is planning to fail. Uh.I don't know whether or not Drew Prescott

(46:22):
would condone me being on the dollarmenu. I don't know. I know
that's the question. I'll have toask him next time I see him.
Uh. But I do know thatwhen you're when you're attempting to build a
plan and build your wealth, that'sthe guy you want to talk to.
I love when you go to Prescottpw dot com our team, it's just

the way they think financially, andeven though you know there's no guarantees in
the financial world, you're like,this is the person I want to invest
I want to make plans with ordo things. And then they're not even
the one who hail your stuff anymore. You're gonna sit down, You're gonna
talk Drew. You're gonna like himjust as much as we do. Drew's
probably Drew might be one of thepeople who sent an emails. He is

was Johnny, Oh my god,that'd be the best. He'd be Like,

Ton, Tony or whatever your nameis. But no, this great guy,
