It's Troy wgy FMHD two Olbaning Wtwo forty, Fox Sports nine eighty ninety

(00:05):
nine after us on ninety five nineFox Sports Radio about an hour ago,
maybe an hour and a half ago. That is a real fun way.
I want to start today's Levac andguys right here in the GT Toys studio.
That's toys with a z uh.First, I want to thank Martel's

(00:31):
Bar and Grill over on Console Road, the town of Colony golf course.
Great host yesterday, great food.A lot of fun was had for the
Capitol Cup for kids packet pickup eventthat we were doing. Had a blast
over there, had a blast thatrecovery room. Later at night again,
had a blast watching hockey. Nono blast for me in the NBA right

(00:51):
now. The only blast in theNBA right now was like a double barrel
shot to my fund center. Boom. As the word is out, Julius
Randall's done for the year, myfriends, that's right, Yeah, this
is the guy that I mean.It's a roller coaster of emotions for next

(01:12):
fans when it comes to Julius Randall. There was a point where it was
like wow, he's really he's reallygood. Then it was like, well,
he doesn't really want to fit in. It doesn't seem to make sense.
Maybe need to get rid of him. Then you get the right players
around him, you find out thatnot only does he belong, you never
want him to leave. One ofthose players, of course, being Jalen

(01:33):
Bronson. But waiting to see ifthe reevaluation of the shoulder tear was going
to result in in returning, theword is out. Doctors believe that he
could do significant further damage, longterm damage to his shoulder if he were
in a place. He's having seasonending right shoulder surgery, which means done

(01:56):
for at least this year, maybepart next year. Let this be a
lesson for young athletes, maybe businessowners, maybe anybody who does something athletic,
or maybe just had to happen atwork, whatever it might be.
If you've ever heard somebody, friends, family members, coworkers say this expression,
Oh you won't believe it. Myshoulder just popped out and I popped

(02:19):
it back in. Bad, bad, bad. Wait not if you don't
know that's bad. You're no longerallowed to just take care of yourself.
There's gonna be a conservatorship put inplace. Do you know how many people
though, well back. I don'tknow if it happens common often to you
in your life, where someone hasjust said the expression of my shoulder popped
out, I popped it back in. I'm good to go, like I've

(02:39):
seen my finger. Well, thereyou go. That's also a problem.
I've learned. People will just popfingers back in, or they'll pop shoulders
back in, knees, but moreso the shoulder than anything else. There
is only one injury I really know, and I'm not a doctor, although
you and I did some doctor stuffyesterday on the air. That's the only
one I know about it, huh. All I know is that when a

(03:05):
shoulder pops out of its joint,imagine it's a ball in a socket,
and once that pops out, thereis a rip, There is a tear.
You just can't magically put it backtogether because you're strong and did it
and thought it was funny after abeer pong game or your buddy popped a
tear has happened. Now the significanceof the tear front of the shoulder,
back of the shoulder, I don'tknow what it is, but you did

(03:27):
not magically have it come back together. Julius Dwald did everything he could,
whether it was rehab, whether itwas Hey, doesn't feel that bad today.
It was never gonna be what hehoped. Now, maybe it's in
the front and it's small. Hecould play through it. But the doctors
are right. Hey, you poppedyour shoulder out back in January. That's
it. Like it's out. It'sdone, your toast, it's over.
You tried to come back. Theinjury sucks, Like you said, he

(03:50):
could be out more than this,a few times, a few more months,
depending on how deep this tear isand how much damage has been done.
This sucks. Julius Randall was supposedto be the piece of this diddic
team that could get to the commonIts Finals. Maybe you in the East,
this roster was in such a goodplace, and you don't get to
find out what the Knicks really couldhave done with a piece. What four
years ago? Five years ago,that was a serious conversation for the MVP

(04:12):
of the NBA. Do you allright? This number caught me off guard.
How many games did Julius Randall,Jalen Brunson and ogn Ando we played
together? Ooh, I know it'sless than ten. I'm pretty positive.
I'm gonna say eight fourteen Oh wow, I was positive it was less than

(04:34):
ten Wow. Number one defense inthe entire NBA in those fourteen games.
You know, it's upsetting about that. I'm pretty sure you sent me a
YouTube video with that stat I definitelygave you the number one defense when they
played together. I don't know ifI gave you the fourteen all right,
No, but like I guess,fourteen games not enough. I get you

(04:56):
know, if you're a Knicks fanlike myself and Goz has been a Knicks
fan ever ninety five, nine nineeighty, Fox Sports Radio became your home
for New York Nicks basketball in theCapitol Region. But like you gotta really
yeah, watch the games man,like it's funny, Like I hear this
a lot about the Firebirds Arena footballin the Capitol Region. I'll talk to

(05:19):
somebody like, oh, yeah,but what are you gonna leave in three
years? No, But at thesame time that if we did, you
would just throw away three years ofwatching great football inside the MVP Arena because
it might leave one day. Likeagain, not that's obviously not the business
model, but you never know it'sgonna happen. I know that like sports

(05:42):
fans here are a little snake bit, but it's like that always gets me.
And then when I hear fourteen gamesof realistic greatness, it was greatness
to those fourteen games number one defensehave fun. I know I watched probably
nine of them, or listen totwelve if you count what I did here
on Fox Sports Radio. But Ididn't realize that fourteen entire games, I

(06:03):
had a great basketball team. Ithat wouldn't make me feel a little better
if I realized, like, it'sfourteen, it's amen. It's like it's
more than eighth of a season.It's pretty good. And the Pathenics took
to get there is just as impressivebecause for a decade plus it's been got
to get the superstar, Gotta getthe superstar, gotta get the big name,
Gotta do that, and it wasn'tworking. So they said, Okay,

(06:24):
maybe we can't get Lebron Durant,Kyrie Zion Harden. Who's the next
best bunch of those guys, JalenBrunson, Lucas number two that can work
og up in Canada. His stylecould work. Let's go trade RG Barrett.
We'll go get him Julius Randall,the top ten pick out of Kentucky,
the one who was with the Lakersand the Pelicans. Uh sure,

(06:46):
will you try? Remember you hadJulius Randall. Oh yeah, those two
and you couldn't quite make it work. Whoever realized, like Jalen Brunson is
the truth, Like like it's it'sreal to the point where hey, let's
pay a fine, let's cheat,let's get him, Like it's not lost
on me. I'm not I'm notgonna. I'm I can't be the guy

(07:08):
who makes fun of the Red Soxfor cheating and the Astros for cheating and
you know, listen, I knowthat there's a there's a letter out there,
this is the Yankees that I haven'tseen it, But like I can't
be the one who does that andnot go, hey, look they tampered
and they got him, and youknow what, go tamper more, go
pay more finesse. Kind of thesame thing with Ogo because the whole like

(07:29):
who is the agent, where's theage? All those things? But like
that's great vision because we watch andlisten to a ton of basketball. I
I listened to you know every youknow, WOJ and jumps and Windhorse and
every every NBA insider out there,nobody I can think of whatever went?

(07:53):
All right, So for your coreof a championship caliber team, you're gonna
need Jalen Brunson, you mean theshort, little undersized point guard. Yeah
yeah, oh yeah yeah. Og Nnoby you mean the guy with like
flares are brilliance but not really notreally on the map in Toronto, you
can see he's good but not great. Yeah, okay. And Julius Randall,

(08:13):
you mean the guy who almost forcedhis way out of New York twice
already. Yeah. Yo, thosethree guys together and you're on your way,
and so like you gotta love,yeah, love the way this thing
is built. So sucks. JuliusRandall done for the year, season ending
right shoulder surgery going on. Theonly hope I have right now is as

(08:37):
I look at the injury reports andwe'll talk about the other team that the
Knicks are playing tonight's injury, whichis very close to home. In a
second, Julius Randall out for season. O g Noby game time decision,
Mitchell Robinson game time decision. JoshHart game time decision, of course.
Dwayne Washington Junior, the most importantgame time decision. But I'm joking.

(08:58):
The if those like game time decisionleads me to believe if everything is handled
appropriately, there's a scenario where you'regetting minutes from oj Nobi, Mitchell Robinson,
and Josh Hart in the playoffs.And if that's the case, in
Jalen Brunston's number one thing is JalenBronson. If Jalen Brunston is good to

(09:22):
go, nobody wants to play you. I mean, they might prefer to
play over some teams, But ifyou get Jalen Brunson, oj Nobi,
Mitchell Robinson, Josh Hart, DontinsEvincenzo out there. I no longer feel
like you're gonna take down the Eastwithout Julius Randall. But you're gonna get
people fits you're taking, You're takingseries to sevens. How can Hartenstein and

(09:45):
Robinson respond without Randy? Now youget to even the postseason? Can they
handle Bam out of Bayou for Miami? Can they handle the Greek freaking Milwaukee?
Can they handle Portzingis in Boston?Can the big guys for the Knicks?
Are they just that out good enoughto hang with the best. I
didn't even mention him beat like there'sa bunch of other better big men Pascal

(10:07):
Siakam in Indiana, Like all ofa sudden, it starts going down the
list of it by Hardenstein and Robinsongood enough to hang with these guys.
Could Jandon Brunson put the team onhis back and go for thirty five or
forty a night? Can you playsmall ball? Mate? Tom Thibodeaux has
some big decisions to make. Canthe Nicks win with four guards out on

(10:28):
the floor? Can they outshoot teams? We hope he has big decisions to
make, because he may not becausehe's all game time. Decisions could go
the wrong way. Like you know, if the decision is what mixture of
hard and steeing Robinson precious at Youua? You know og Anobi? Like if
what mixture of those guys shuts downthe big sure of their team, I'm
thrilled to see what tips comes onwithout that one. If the decision he

(10:50):
has to make is okay, SoI don't have Robinson, I don't have
Ohgobi, I don't have Josh Hart. How do I stop these big guys?
I think the answer dump soda onthe court, go full Jason Kidd
I think you gotta go Jason kiddon it. Yeah. So, I
mean, because, like I said, like, they're in fifth spot right

(11:11):
now. Yeah, it's so weird, man, because it was such a
slam dunk. Pun intended that theywere gonna be they were gonna be a
top five seed, and it waslike, hey, can they get to
two? Can can they get right? Can they nuzzle in behind Boston and
set everything up for a possible NewYork Boston Eastern Conference Final? And now

(11:35):
it's do they have eleven men?They have nine? Because Tim's only really
runs nine to Gibson. Yeah.Please, Where in the world is Dodge
Gibson's I'm shocked that wasn't the JuliusRandall done for season? Todd Gibson signs
again with New York Knicks, stillhere, never leaving man. That's sticks.

(11:56):
The other injury Sacramento Kings. Guys, it's almost it's the same injury.
Laborum tear, dislocated shoulder pops outKevin Herder. The report came a
few days ago that herder season waslikely to be over. It now it's
basically confirmed today as he undergoes surgeryto repair the torn laboram that happens late
last night. If you're here withyou're listening on the East coast, but

(12:16):
it happened on the West coast becausehe plays for Sacramento. So he's done.
He's expected to be back for thestart of next season. So you
get Kings Knicks tonight and you havethe two in back players that Capitol region
sports fans were most looking forward toseeing a combination of both, not on
the court tonight when you listen tothe action here and you're home for the
Knicks ninety five nine to nine eighty. The thing with Herder is that the

(12:37):
Kings are really good now and incomparison to what they were supposed to be,
which was bad for a long time. They had a stretch. I
believe it was the longest North Americanprofessional sports team who had made the postseason.
Once they took that away from theMariners and the Bills, it was
the Kings, and they ended itwhen Herder got there in the year one
and they pushed Golden State. Howdifferently do we view the Kings if they

(12:58):
actually clip Golden State and last year'spostseason and statistically, last year's Kings team
was one of the best offensive scoringteams ever in the history of the NBA
until this year's Boss team. Shutup. It's not gonna end Herder's career.
Herders still got a bunch of seasonsleft. He's likely gonna still roll
with Sacramento because they're now competitive.It just sucks when you have an injury
to a player we all follow andknowing Jim rats too cliche, but we

(13:24):
know what I'm talking about. Likeas he rehabs back the competitor and Herder's
gonna want to go one thousand milesan hour, and the fact that you
got to slow him down and belike, you got some basketball left,
don't rush to this thing is gonnabe hard to tell somebody like that.
It's just and it's it's one ofthose deals like I will, I'll admit,
you know, never got never gota sniff from the NBA. Remember

(13:48):
uh Colony Hide Joach Marky. Thatwas I was kidding my class. I
was like, you know what,if anybody's ever gonna, you know,
make their way through college hoops andget a sniff, it's gonna be Joe
is nephew or son played, Yeah, yeah, family, good genie for
basketball. Never had any of that. So you see a guy like Kevin
Herder come from your hometown do whathe's done, and then you can look
at your kid and pretend you knowmore about basketball than you really do,

(14:11):
and go, that's how you play. That's how you do it. You
play your defense, you shut yourmouth, you pass the ball, and
when you're open, you bury it. That's how you play basketball, right,
That's how you do it. That'sthe way. And then and then,
oh, you know him. Italked to him twice. I called
him red Velvet before anyone else,but really, no, don't worry about

(14:31):
that far. And even if youdid, he hates it. So yeah,
I mean, you know, it'sjust yeah, he is. And
it just never complains, at leastnot publicly, Like I don't care you're
supposed to complain privately. He justdoes his job. I love watching that

(14:52):
dude play basketball, like you toldme, like normally, when I say
I love watching the way pay basketball, it's like Lebron and the way he's
just a freakish ass leading Jalen Brunsonwhere it's just every shots kind of open
and you don't know what he's gonnado. Is he gonna pass it is
it gonna be some weird whatever.But like Kevin Hurder is just he just
does the right thing. Like hejust does the right thing. It's just

(15:13):
fun to watch and go, that'swell sn hoops right there, buddy,
what that is a little bit offwhat you're talking about? I call that
the good play player. Like youwatch them, good play. The next
thing that's good play, good play. You just keep saying, oh my
god, every play he makes asgood, whether it's defense, whether they're
shooting, whether it's switching out onthe everything he does is good. Bum.
We won't see him competing in thatWestern Conference for the Kings, and

(15:33):
it starts tonight as well. Yeah, I mean, oh so two players
if you if you told me thattonight they both hey, miraculously both in
the lineup. I'm shutting everything downand watching. I'm sorry, listening to
the Knicks right here. I shallbe watching it. You can't play with

(15:54):
one arm, right, I sawthat kid in the NC double A his
name Hans played with one arm.Get out there, hurt her and random.
Oh man, this's got a reallyinteresting text message. It's a weird
day for my phone. Shared onthe air now it's just like it's something
about somebody I was gonna work withCage Wars and not now it's weird interesting

(16:15):

Jones just left to do it?Everybody? All right? The coolest thing
on TV last night was the Rangersand the Devils. I'm I am not

(23:37):
the world's largest hockey fan, maybeby pounds, but not not by a
passion. The it was like somekind of a movie. Guys like this,
if you haven't watched, like,maybe you're not a Rangers fan,
maybe you're not a hockey fan.Whatever. When the Rangers are good,
I'm a hockey fan, a fairWeather fan. Whatever you want to I

(24:00):
I'm not offended. Say however youwant to say it. I like going
to the games, but I'm notIt doesn't dominate my sports brain unless the
Rangers are good. It's kind ofthe perfect fan relationship. The Rangers suck.
I didn't even know there's hockey ona whatever doesn't hurt me. Rangers
are great, I know, isn'tit an awesome Like I'm only I'm a

(24:23):
complete Fairweather fan. I'm glad youhave the attitude about last night. And
I know, like you have enoughstress in your life going on right now,
and I see your phone. We'llget to that second. The thing
about the Rangers last night, youcan take two takes about it. You
and I are in the same waywith the Rangers. That was cool,
That was different, That was uniqueetead of like a movie. Yeah,

(24:45):
right, dude, So for everybodyis no twenty one year old six foot
seven two and forty pounds of MattRempei is the most fun thing I've ever
seen. He takes me back tobook a Boom from from the mid nineties
where it was like somebody would somebodywould smack Messier all of a sudden,
next line, boots hopping over awall, Harry Collins, He's gonna pop

(25:07):
somebody. Rebbye has a a areputation for being a fighter since he's been
in the NHL, which is notvery long because he's been suspended and he's
been benched five fights. Then he'sbeen in five fights and he's the guy
now twenty one years old. Hehas the respect from the bangers out there,

(25:30):
Matt Martin for the Islanders before theyeven gave it, you want to
know, Yeah, yeah, no, it was like and it's like an
honor to fight him. So hethe last couple of games against the Devils
has handled his business. Will sayhe's been on the he's he's been on
the upside of the fights. TheDevil like added dudes to fight him in

(25:52):
this game, the final game thatthey meet each other in the regular season.
They look at each other for thelike literally Rebbye even been in the
lineup. They put him back inthe lineup just to get this over with.
Oh you see him line up?Touch sticks? Look are we doing
it? Yeah, we're doing weredropping, the gloves were dropping. Okay,
cool, They're not the only one. Like what eight eight freaking punishments

(26:17):
come out of this thing? Twoseconds in gloves everywhere people fight. It
was like something out of a movie. How you described it and your fandom
for the Rangers is probably the reasonwhy you and I feel the same way
about this, because it was cool, it was different, it was unique.
It was capturing national headlines. Youdon't see stuff like that. They
got really hurt. Now. Yeah, but we'll do a crossbor comparison.

(26:37):
Okay, let's say you're a fanof the Yankees, and the Yankees are
the best team in the American League. You got less than ten percent of
the season and the regular season leftto go, and all of a sudden,
they want to start a fight withthe Orioles. Some Yankee fans would
be like, not today, guys. The playoffs are around the corner the
Knicks. The Knicks are having areally good season in comparison to seasons of
the past decades. Hey, theclinch a playoff, you're getting a brawl

(27:00):
at the Hawks. Can you not? Some Ranger fans looked at that last
night and said, not this timein the season, you might be the
favorite to win the Eastern Conference.Theying goodness, nobody got hurt, and
you got the fire clicks, yougot the fans into it, you got
remp you becoming this cult hero.But maybe not this Ranger team, not
a team that could have cost themselves. We just cat you off talking about

(27:22):
Julius Randall. The Rangers put themselvesin a position last night where somebody could
have got hurt and potentially could havecost them the conference or the Stanley Cup.
That would be the concerned Ranger fan. It didn't happen, but some
Ranger fans probably feel that way.You and I don't, but a lot
of fans could have that take.You said it, so I'm angry at
you about it. Here's here's here'syou're what guys, Here's yeah, here's
where your bed wedding woo's face iswrong. Okay, the last couple of

(27:49):
years actually a little longer back,even like because the Rangers were getting good
and then they tore it down andput out the letter that hey, we're
not good We're not gonna be goodfor a minute and then then begin the
bill to become a very very goodteam leading the met right now, If
you can't instill some kind of fearin other players, they are going to

(28:11):
smash Panerain. They're going to smashyour your good players all day long.
You need not a goon, youdon't have to go that far, but
you need an enforcer. You needa guy who it's like, literally,
hey, if I lead the leaguein penalty minutes and it makes it keeps
you guys think twice, I'm I'llput my guys in the glass, so

(28:33):
be it. That's it. You'reactually dare I say, limiting injuries by
by making people stay on the upand up you know, uh, I
don't know about that last far?Limited injuries by fighting? Well, you
know you get you one. Ifyou know, if you walk into a
room and you're everybody in there justtowers, you're not afraid of any thing.

(29:00):
You can do what you have todo. You can go full WWE
WrestleMania and slap people around if youwant to. If you want to be
a scofflaw, one person steps up, push puffs their chest out will be
like, okay, well, atleast I know one is gonna's gonna push
back. Maybe I don't want tofight today. It just makes you think
twice about it. I had afriend who called that the AKP of the
room, the ass kicking potential.Certain spots like if someone goes down,

(29:23):
who can I take in this room? Right now, right right? And
Reby he's one of those dudes likewhen he on his plate, the ice
man, he isn't the game.I can take him down. He's skating
out the ice bloody mouth laughing,twenty one years old. I'm proud of

eighty Doug Gottlieb here, March ishere. It's Lavak and guzz on ninety

(30:51):
five to nine Fox Sports Radio.Get off the phone. That's my thing
during the show. Get off thephone. Listen. I'm a very very
busy man, very very important man. My house smells of rich mahogany and
leatherbound books. Only I could bedistracted by emails and random down So was
that two calls you got during thebreak? Got to threw one out as

(31:15):
well? So oh yeah, justsee. You know, you know how
you kind of ambushed me. You'vebeen ambushing me with information lately, whether
you meant to or not. Youknow, hey, you know Monday,
you're working later, stuff like that. Uh. We have levangs lavangas dot
com as a as a business entityof all of our own We have signed

(31:41):
our first ever athlete whoa we have. We have entered a handshake agreement right
now with the goat, Darius Princenice. So we're so. Darius and
I are efforting to get a newDarius Prince logo made. Once we have
that, we will open a lineof Darius Prince t shirts, hoodies,

(32:05):
and other apparel at lavagangods dot com. So we'll announce that one once we
get everything done. But you know, he's the goat, and he's been
the goat for a very long time, often imitated, never duplicated. So
we are going to We're gonna comeup with the right logo for him,
something that he can use for therest of his life. Very proudly.
We're gonna help him get his hisbrand up and running. And you know,
hey, if people hang around thereand buy some Lolovagan Gods stuff too,

(32:28):
so be it. So be it. Ninety nine percent of the time
I would now follow up and sayhow much money while I make from this?
But because I like DP, becauseI like Darius Prince, I'm not
gonna ask that publicly. Also,I'm not going to pay for the website
and set everything up and everything.Is that is that part of what do
we make from this? Directly?We make zero dollars. Oh we are,

(32:50):
But there's there's things in the works, okay, because we're just listening,
you know, we're doing public service. Well yeah, and we're helping
it. We're helping a good frienddo something that he's been trying to get
done for a very long time.We're in a position to help, so
we're helping. Also, he's gota great following on on social media,
so if we bring it open,yeah, they come and buy. When
they buy his stuff, they buyour stuff. I see what we're doing,
and don't forget. It's open now. So if you want to buy
something for the holiday season, wedon't have the Darius print stuff, but

(33:14):
Dad's after Dark is on there.Well, vacking gos here. People have
been asking guys, it's all there. It's ready to go, T shirts,
hoodies, We got more common.We're building it as it goes.
I did, I've been working.When don't we talking about elevation because I
would I may not want to goover there and earlier. That's right,
I'm not I'm not exactly welcome thereat at this exact moment in time.

(33:37):
I reached out to Christian for likethe fifth thing today and he was something
like McDonald's mc bleeping hates me orsomething like that. And when he said,
I'm about mic bleeping hat it withyou and I and I went,
I'm sorry, could you do thisplease? And he said fine, uh
yeah no. So that's that's thebig story. So that was so.
Darius was the first call. Andthen some guy Lee Hutton don't know if

(34:00):
you ever heard of them, whoathe Commission the Big Boss gave you a
call today A few moments ago.All right, we're just now that I'm
apparently out of purgatory, just catchingme up on a lot of stuff and
uh, and then I called Mikeafter that went, oh my god,
Hee called me. He doesn't haveto call you all the time anymore,
call me. Uh so that's yeah. So I've been working here, guys.

(34:22):
Okay, I've been working. Ican't just sit around and you know,
tell fart jokes all day. Ohmy god, I had the worst
gas last night. By the waitwait wait, no, no, no,
no, no, do not distractfrom the conversation. What did the
commissioner say during the phone call?Is that not allowed to be public INFOLI?
Then, uh, it's just it'sit revolves around just launch him a

(34:44):
couple of things. Okay, thatsounds like the answer was yes to my
question that it's private information that wewill soon enough. Yeah. Yeah,
I mean just details on how he'dlike to move forward with things like travel
and and other stuff, but leaguepartners that might be announced in your future,
and how he'd like to do it. Okay, good, you left
me a loophole there for a followup, and you can say no further

(35:04):
questions. But does it involve anythinginvolving the NFL Network because of the news
today. No, so no,no, And I actually, man,
I'm sorry I didn't talk to himabout that at all at this point because
it's like where we are at thispoint, as you know, a team
in a league and building and everythingabout how close you are to kick off
things that are known. I don'teven think twice about. But this is

(35:28):
crazy. So yeah, to fillpeople in if you don't know what we're
talking about, Good Morning Football,which is the flagship show of the NFL
Network, is moving the whole thing. It's based in New York City,
It's going to California. So there'sbeen rumors of like who's going, who's
not going? Is it gonna bethe same show? It's super popular.
They had layoffs on the NFL Networkabout eighteen months ago, sixteen months ago,
and then today they announced more layoffs, including on air talent. So

(35:50):
a lot of people are looking atthe NFL Network as an entity insane.
Are they still going to be ownedby the NFL? Is something happening?
How if it all will affect theAlbany Firebirds. So that's why I asked
that question, because they're in thenews today Andrew Siciliano, who I believe
the former guest on this show,Like a lot of stuff is moving involve
Antel networking, Capitol region sports fansprobably did wonder how if it all affects
the Firebirds. So yeah, SoApril twenty seventh, our game kicks off

(36:14):
the season. We will be onNFL Network, and I just I'm noticing
the NFL Network parting ways with MelissaStark, Andrew Siciliano, James Palmer,
and Will Selva, so four ofthem. So I'm wondering if maybe they
got a little bit of tape fromsome Gazi Bear exclusives back in the day
during the games when you were doingcolor commentary for for our other football team,

(36:36):
and maybe they're sitting there going,you know what, let's make a
little room. Let's make a littleroom. April twenty seventh, that if
Tom mcclowsky, Tom Goazlowski, GazzieBarrow, if he goes out there and
he you know, he really shakesit down for us, maybe we'll add
him to our NFL Network family.I would say that's the furthest thing from
the truth. I would I wouldsay that Andrew Siciliano I mean there's a

(36:59):
there's some there's there's there's some correlationsto be drawn here for pro wrestling fans.
That sounds like the fake Razor,fake Diesel. Look if we just
changed into Antilos the Ciliano, noone's gonna notice. They're the same characters,
they're the same people. This guy'staller, you know. No,

(37:20):
that is not effecting. No onehas called me from the NFL network.
It's a lot of change going on. I appreciate the pump of the NFL
network potentially bringing me on as abroadcaster if that happens, but uh,
as long as it's not affecting thegames. For the coverage, that's the
most important thing. That's good.No, No, yeah, that's that's
of course. Those people are supertalented. I almost like underestimated this part.
Those four people listen off are gonnabe fine. They're way too good.

(37:44):
Like, even though they're no longerpart of the NFL network, I
have no issues of any of thosefour people getting gigs, So I'm not
even there is an issue. Right, Like the the mainstream media job seems
to be dwindling. The amount ofpeople like you know, you know,
we had all many of our friendswho worked for Sports Illustrated dot com and

(38:06):
Fanside and that that that all kindof went away and they're all very talented.
Okay, so where are they goingnext? Like, where do these
people go next? Like CBS gonnapick them up maybe, you know,
sure, whatever, but there's gonnabe a point where they're looking at offers
and you know, maybe it's barstooldot com, maybe it's vaggays dot com.

(38:29):
Whatever. If they picked the wrongone, they could end up out
of the public eye. And thelonger out of the public eye, and
that in that industry, the harderit is to get back into it.
Yeah, there's lots of that conversationof what is the public eye? Now?
How do people consume content? Well, just quickly from a local perspective,
obviously we're in the audio business,but from the visual business television.

(38:49):
Yeah, oh, I just sawus. The two people that have been
affected I would say locally the mostthe company Sinclair which I own CBS six
and Spectrum. Like if you watcha Spectrum broadcast now it's from Buffalo to
Syracuse to Rochester to Albany. Theyhad so many layoffs a Spectrum that they
just cycled it out of the stories. You don't even know where the anchors
are based anymore, because they justweave in and out of what you consume

(39:12):
as content. Sinclair, This isnot a secret. I worked for Sinclair.
Sinclair would put stories up from Buffaloand Rochester, also on the Albany
News. I believe they still dothat, no disrespect to Aj Pinkowski or
the guys over at CBS six andthe team, Like they just weave stories
in and out for content you don'tknow where it's coming from, and unfortunately,
sometimes the viewer can't tell the difference. And I don't know if that's
a good thing or a bad thing, because if the contents good, it

(39:36):
doesn't matter where it comes from.And I see your point you make it
too, like, hey, ifyou work for the NFL network, great,
but if you dropped the rumors outthere from the athletic is that this
is up for sale, so likeESPN or Fox or Amazon's gonna buy it,
and so you don't even know isit the NFL Network, is it
Google? Is it Amazon? That'swhat I think. The NFL network looks
at their overall media company and saylike, hey, anybody can do this.

(40:00):
You guys can have this. Wethink the price on the word NFL
can sell and so far they've beenproven right every single time about stuff with
the logo and the name selling fora huge number. Yeah, but it's
also man, every every layer youput between that logo and yourself is a
is a chance for somebody to notproperly protect the shield too. So I

(40:24):
don't think they'll ever fully like sellit off or rent it out or lease
it or whatever. But at thesame time, yeah, if you can
bring you bring in a company that'smore suited to it, you take it
with my cost. You give mea very large amount of control over how
things are going to be utilized.I could see, I could see a
little lectra love for it, likeand it does it. My ears do

(40:44):
perk up on some of these things. Because as as the AFL has has
re emerged and it's it's a verydifferent league than it ever was before.
It's a more ambitious league than itever was before. And that's talking about
a league that used to have ateam completely best done kiss, So what
does that tell you about this one? Like I start thinking about like rumors

(41:06):
of partners I heard in the past, like some of these places are up
and comers. Some of these placesare dominant media. So some of these
some of the people that I've spokento is like, hey, we're considering
partnering, Like maybe one of thosecompanies is the one that's coming in because
they're part of it all. It'sit's it is a it's it's a weird
world in business when you can startto see, like a lot of these
places there is a third party partytie that before they get together. So

(41:30):
I would, you know, Idon't know anything, pure speculation, completely
reckless. I'd keep an eye onwho the AFL partners with and who the
UFL and the NFL partner with,because someone tells me they could easily easily
be one of those things like,well I worked over there, you want
to try it over here, Okay, let's go. Like I could see
that'd be a pretty pretty easy wayto problem solve some stuff. Did you

(41:53):
see this story? By the way, I know we only got a few
minutes here before the top forward forabout Stefan Diggs and somebody who's claiming to
have gotten it right. I didn'teven want to do this, but I
need to squeeze think because people areagain tagging. Can we make This is
why I d stop tagging Levac andpost about him. Stop tagging. I
got a story for you about anhour about the Albany Empire. Again.

(42:15):
I'm gonna save for about an hourfrom now. Stop doing this to Livac.
I don't me. I didn't workfor him either. I wasn't a
broadcaster. I never tragging us inthe stuff. I never worked for,
received a check from, was paidby, or even told really what to
do by Antonio Cletus Brown. Idon't know what his real name is.

(42:35):
I can't remember. I did getone check from him, I did,
right, but even that, Imean I cash. He actually wrote it.
That's what he wrote. His signaturewas on it. How about I
rephrased that somebody had to be acheck with his name? I catched it.
Well, there was that video ofhim signing checks at what is now
my desk. That's what that wouldhave been one for me? Right,

(42:58):
Yeah? So his c T ESPNsite or or social media what like mid
March put out a picture of StefanDiggs in Houston, Texans here, so
like obviously someone's working for him,Like you know what I mean, there's
no way that dude knows how towork the AI he's had in certain certain

(43:21):
posts, or or comes up witha lot of the things he comes up
with. There's a there's people workingfor him who are doing these things.
Hopefully they got pre paid, butthey it credit word's due. The first
person to put digs in that thatTexans uniform, to my knowledge, was
Antonio Brown's post. Credit to AntonioBrown for knocking it down. He is

(43:45):
a big jay journalist when it comesto the NFL. Some have called him
the Roger WiLAN of reporting, hadit before anybody else got it right.
Credit where credits do it's? Imean, G Matt called him out.
G Mack had fun with that.Hey, we said when Roger got it
right, but give him kudos.He got it right. You all right,
hold on, son, let's go. Let's let's Antonio Brown. You

(44:07):
got one right. Good for youwhatever broken clocks right twice a day and
you stole millions of dollars with thejewelry from a dude. Sorry, I
can't let it go. Yeah,but that joke from Jerry McNamara during his
press conference was phenomenal, and itwas good because it was funny and there's

(44:29):
no way on God's Green Earth.News Channel thirteen's Roger Wiland didn't love that
joke. Do you mean you were? You were the one to show it
to me, so I thought itwas hysterical and to go further with that,
I'll tell you if if Jerry McNamaramade that joke about me, that
would be on this board right nowand I might play it once a day.
The fact that show, I've textedyou some ideas about what I want

(44:54):
to do for Coach Backdamara when hecomes on the show. No, no
one's responding to our emails, whichtalk to our guy Tom Nolty yesterday about
when coach could. Nobody's responding tome. I'm not happy about it.
There's only one person left to reachout to, and I don't really feel
like reaching out to him. Idon't want to. I'm gonna be a
baby about it. Actually, beenhaving numerous conversations of when it will make

(45:14):
sense maybe not. Why am Ino longer in the loop on this?
How's it feel? Is it becausewhat I said about the sniffing thing?
Is he not over that? That'sdefinitely a thing. No. Everybody knows
that I'm negotiating for the both ofus. Good. You heard the idea
I proposed to you, and Ican't say that publicly. Not. I
hope Coach McNamara comes in the studiowith it for you. Get for you

(45:35):
who haven't heard this or don't know. Guys. Wants four area coaches to
come and sit in studio. Godswould be blindfolded and he wants to see
if he can tell which one's Jerrymcnamurre by sniffing them. That's not what
I texted. And by the way, Coach Rolands on the phone today,
you're supposed to join us in thestudio. Coach Rowland joins us in about

(45:57):
thirty five minutes. Be clear aboutsomething you didn't just say. That's not
what you wanted to do though.Now that's no, no, no,
don't you said it is not whatyou suggested. That's right, but you
would like to do that? No, no, no, no. I
want about the show. I wantCoach Rolling on the show. Will Brown
can come back if he wants.I have no proms to Coach Brown,
Coach Burke and Skidbore anybody Coach Drock, coach. The fact that Coach Trock

(46:21):
the coach I played for in collegehas not been on the show yet.
He's busy, he's running spring ball. We can have a coaching carouseling here.
I will promise that I probably won'tsniff any of the coaches. And
if I could smell any coach,Coach Trock say, I promised that I
probably won't stiff any of the coaches. I would be able to know the
scent of John Drock better than anycoach. But that isn't mcnamair is the

(46:44):
focus right now. Don't distract me. Coach gmc is the focus. I'm
not gonna stiff a coach, allright? Is that what you want me
to say? I will not sniffthe coaches in the studio. Done.
I didn't want you too. Iwill promise you and whoever somebody get back
to my emails. I coach myconversation with somebody over at Sienna about they're
just figuring out what it makes sensebecause of his travels. I don't believe

(47:07):
that. I don't believe him.I think they're full of it. I
think they're all full of it.Unless I find out it's somebody. I
don't believe that conversation. I don'tbelieve this person. I believe you had
the conversation, but I'm a littlesketched out about how that's going down,
knowing behind the scenes of how thisstuff comes together. I don't believe that
person is being truthful. Wow,not knowing who it is, it's it's

(47:28):
the person is being truthful. DoI know who they are? Yeah?
Do I have a mass text ofthem? I'm sure you have a mass
test with everyone. I'm gonna askyou in between the breaks. Oh,
it's it's I don't want to know. I don't want to know. I
don't want to know because I reachedout. I'll tell you, I'll listen,
I'll do I'll do the whole thingright now. I'm not scared.
I'm not I'm not like you.I communicate here on Fox Sports Radio ninety

(47:51):
five, nine nine eighty plevac Guys. I so, a very good friend
of mine works at Sienna. Hername is Lynn. She runs the marketing
and she's I honestly don't even knoweverything she does anymore. She's got to
hit her hand in many pots.I have always worked well with her,
and I've always tried to sabotage herother careers to force her to come back

(48:13):
and sell radio for me, becauseshe's amazing. She almost never answers my
calls, and she'll call me back, like, I'll leave a voicemail.
She's very smart, So I doa lot of people leave me a voicemail,
set me at text so I knowwhat I'm getting into, and then
I'll talk to you because I don'twant to talk about it. Why would
I bother I pay for my cellphone, you don't. Jake just did
that to me in sales moments ago. So I call. I was calling

(48:36):
just because I know how much workshe's put in over the NCAA tournament everything
else, because because is a bigpart of it, and I just want
to tell her how proud I wasof her. But I was like,
perfect, I'll get a voicemail becauseI don't want like whatever she answers the
freaking phone. So here I amlike, uh, you did good work,
and she's smart, and you youshould come to sell radio for me.

(49:00):
And then I was just like,hey, when can we get When
can we get When does it makethe most sense? When can we get
Coach mac McNamara on the show Godneeds this in his life? I was
like, is this would be.This would be like Derek Jeter coaching the
Valley Cats for me, Like that'swhat that's what would be for me,
you know, And and she's like, there's just there's a lot going on.
Obviously it is, you know infront of my mind. I'll stay

(49:22):
in contact with everybody who's putting aschedule together, will get it done.
I just don't know exactly when I'llbe able to get it done. But
I was like, I said,gods, thinks I ob the October.
She's like, what is he anidiot? And I was like, yes,
so it'll it won't it won't bethat long off. I believe Lynn.
I believe you. I believe bothof you. I believe n.
I don't believe me. I won'thold my breath, not because of what

(49:43):
Lynn does. She does a greatjob. I think there's other factors that
no one would care about besides youand I that will factor into that happening.
That's not true. It's not thatthat almost is a beer bet for
me. That's almost the beer bet, Like if he gets on the show,
I win the beer. I saythat other things will play a factor
in this building that will provide valuefor that content. Is that? Is

(50:06):
that coded enough for you? Yeah? So here's so, here's why.
Here's why you're stupid, because whylet it We're we're number one afternoon drive
sports. H Yes, I agree. So that's what I'm leveraging. Hey,
let's get coach mac on. Iwant them on the show. I
do. But yeah, but you'reso negative. I'm not. I am
not negative about this. I justknow there's other factors that people behind the

(50:27):
scenes will play a factor of thempreventing him to come on the show.
Not Lynn, not Linn, notlin not you, not our sales team,
other people, you know. Idon't want to name their names.
I don't think that's fair. Idon't want to do that. So you
think another radio station outside of ourbuilding is going to try and stop it?
Of course one it's not gonna happen. I want to I want to
agree with you. I want toagree with you. I want you to

(50:50):
be right. I do. ButI feel like there's people who are very
jealous of the show in this marketthat are gonna do everything they can and
not have them come on the air. Not because of Lynn, this all
the more. Yeah, it's that'dbe stupid. Can you imagine that you
make a hiring about, you know, a sports superstar, and you go
tell a quarter of the market becausepeople get upset with these two guys,

(51:14):
I'd be stupid. I' you madgwhoever asked me to do it? It
was stupid. Coach Karen wasn't onour show this past season. Now I
get like, you know that wholeseason hip hop station. I think those
things are stupid. You know,but we also didn't. Okay, I
didn't ask for karm after because Iwe were busy when I have a two
hour show. I asked, Now, people like me, I share the

(51:37):
building with them. What are theygonna do? Is that Captain Phillips?
I'm the captain because when wasn't.I I mean, come on now,
talk about Mohawks. I'm gonna getfine. We're way over on the salary
here, do what I want.This is how I do things. See
how I've got I've made you dothings you don't want to do. I
can make coach back the Mary dowhat he is I want to do and
be smelled by gods. Ah,I have power. Now listen, three

(52:00):
times today I had somebody tried tomake fun of my truck so you know
that this is the beauty of it, right. So I've got my Mohawks
Chevrolet Silverado. It is a blackWidow edition. I was on with Picks
this morning. They were talking aboutit. They made a joke about what
it meant to, you know,my pants size. I said, it's

(52:20):
one hundred percent of the commentsator fifteenhundred and I don't care. I love
it. And then our engineers like, can imagine over your name on the
side of the truck. I'm like, what would you give me that you
own to trade for that truck?He goes pretty much everything I have,
I go exactly, just like allthese peoples. You don't have to be
jealous of other people's vehicles anymore becauseyou've got friends at Mohawks Chevrolet. Together,
let's drive at Manak Chevy just offof Exit twelve of the North Way.

(52:44):

(53:27):
your next vehicle. Let's drive together. Let's drive at Mohawks Chevrolet where they
always go out of their way toplease you. What do we have?
Top four to four? Yes,top four four, Top four reasons guys
is wrong about everything. Now it'stime for the top four four with Levac
and guys. Time for the fourmaking stories in the world those sports is
brought to have Mohawk Honnor where theyalways go out of their way to please

(53:50):
you. Guys four story. Pleasewell, Vac, can I interest you
in nic basketball? Huh? Maybe? No? Well, our Big Fox
as they call it, ooh we'reon TV woo. Allegedly, next year
Fox is gonna have a sixteen teamtournament to rival the NIT that's coming in
twenty twenty five. But tonight tcall old school NIT. Seven o'clock tip

(54:13):
off is Indiana State takes on SeatonHall. Similar colors light blue and white.
Maybe this is the end of theNIT. That's my question for you,
Loo back after hearing all the teamsopt out of the NIT because of
the transfer portal and what the meaningof the game might be and recruiting and
everything else, and hearing that there'sanother tournament on the way to compete with
the NIT, is this the swansong for the importance of the National Invitational

(54:37):
Tournament? I don't. I don'tthink so, because didn't what the NIT
replaced what the CBI Wasn't that likehow it started. So the NIT has
always been around, but way backwhen, because last team's made the NC
double A tournament, we viewed asit's a big deal. The CBI you're
talking about was supposed to be thisFox tournament. So there was the NIC,

(55:00):
then the CBI. Oh, therewas an Internet tournament, then COVID
hit. Now they're coming back.You're right. Everything not called the NC
double A tournament for the last fewdecades has felt like aren't you all the
same thing? And but the thingthat's always like mes brized and amazed me
is if you fang, if youfind the right way to pitch your tournament,

(55:21):
to show off your tournament, tohighlight the athletes in your tournament,
people are gonna complain in it.A reason a lot of teams didn't playing
to this year is there they're playerseither you know, transfer are transferring,
declared for the draft, whatever.So it's like, oh, don't you
want to get your players more experience? Yeah, sure I'd love to.
Where are they like, but ifyou could find a way to be like,

(55:42):
hey, why don't you why don'tyou stay on your team for a
week or two more? And youknow jay Z will be here and this
will happen. And I don't knowwhy jay Z is the only name I
come up with. It 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 is for these things torealize how to market. And you watch

(56:02):
the Women's tournament this year, whichhas done an amazing job of marketing at
stars, and it's just keep marketing, keep creating and marketing stars and you
could get people to play in anytournament. People Yellen's scream about the transfer
portal to how the NCAA has tochange their schedule and it's not fair,
and people look at football as wellduring bowl season. I would love to

(56:23):
ask a coach or an administrator,somebody in a position of power. Probably
have to be off the record becausethey don't want to take heat for this,
But it feels like it's an easyanswer as to why the portal has
to open. Don't they have toenroll at the other school, Like,
you can't really do it in Maybecause you 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

(56:47):
feel like you can't really change thecalendar if these guys and and girls they
both have opportunities to transfer. Can'treally move it if you got to go
to school. So, yeah,the n IT has been hurt by the
train reportal, it's been hurt bycompeting tournaments. Yeah, you know what,
I don't know if I'll care atall or ever more about the n
IT than I do today. It'smore like they'll care less about it than

(57:08):
more about it for the future.Who will want a story? Number three?
We got some afternoon action in baseball, and Mets are part of the
double header. I'll give you moreupdates on the Mets if they get back
to my emails. 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 Levac. Not a heavy

(57:32):
hitter set of games right there,but the Mets probably the most important of
the entire mix. And we werepacked yesterday with baseball across the board,
with many more teams playing well,especially, I mean the Mets have You've
lost a lot of games. Detroit'sonly coming into to you once this year,
so you got the double header today. Mets fan is all but quit

(57:54):
this year. I've noticed already,and so I'd like to see the Mets
go out there maybe you know,I know, I know, strong performance
in the first game. Can theygo out there handle everything? I just
let's go Mets, you know,at some I want to see the Mets
when all the things I've abled toyou let me use my emails. I'm
able to turn the TV on ithere. I don't even know what's going

(58:15):
on in the world, but hopefullythe Mets is just handling business today.
Do you let's play this game?I know we didn't get a chance to
mention this yet. Have you heardthe story about the Phillies and the rain
out and the Reds and everything.The rumor going on involving the Phillies and
the Reds is one of the reasonsthey actually couldn't play because of rain and
everything else today and they played yesterday. Was that there was a wedding booked

(58:38):
at Citizens Bank Ballpark. That can'tbe wrong. It's been all over the
internet. The Bleacher report sites haveclaimed that it's not true. I think
about this. A shout out toMike on Twitter, who had a hilarious
suggestion that it's absolutely true because somebooger eaters like me probably booked a WWE
style wedding because WrestleMania is in Phillyand they have events Friday, Saturday,

(59:01):
and Sunday. That's some super wrestlingfan had a ton of money and booked
the wrestling them to wedding at thehome of the Phillies. I don't know
who to believe because it's been oneof those days. I got some other
things of who to believe later inthis hour about social media and more.
But I liked that story. Whetherit's true or not, I think there
might be a truth somewhere there.So can you imagine on my head?

(59:24):
Like you can't see, my head'sabout the pop So you you play at
a facility, it's your facility.Someone rented out one of your off days.
But you're an East Coast outdoor venuethat's hosting games in early April.
So somebody didn't have the foresight tokeep that date open so that you could

(59:47):
you could, you could utilize itbecause somebody wanted to get married. That
better be That better be a milliondollar wedding. How did the report happen?
Like some of the no no,no, stop, sure we're not
having okay? So where did itcome from? Someone just tossed a hilarious
idea that the wedding had been booked, And that's why I didn't Maybe like

(01:00:07):
everyone's denying Denine to nine Denine becausethey probably feel embarrassed. Where did it
come from? Just some random tweetand we all ran with it. That's
possible. I mean, it reallyis an the Bronic James stuff. I
know people are going nuts about whetheror not he hit the portal. I
don't know if that's true or not. It's very possible. I want to
believe it's not, though I wantto believe. I want to believe it
was a wedding. I do.I want move on a story number two.

(01:00:27):
We're kind of cheating here, atleast me about what story two and
story one is. Story number twois action on the court, Sixers in
heat, Hawks and Mavericks, Warriorsand Rockets, Nuggets and Clippers. That's
a great game tonight, ten o'clocktip off on the West Coast. But
it's our New York Knicks coverage.The next take on the King's Are coverage
gets in away. It's seven tipoff set for seven thirty injuries. You

(01:00:49):
know what, I'm just gonna jumpahead of story number one. We did
this in the first hour the show. If you missed it, Apple,
Spotify, the iHeart Up, youcan always listen to the Haging guys on
demand. On the digital side,Julie is randalls out and to add that
Capital region connection as well, wereally didn't get a chance to touch on
this. Kevin Herder also season over. I believe they're the same injury.
Both have suffered shoulder injuries. Ibelieve both torn labrams. So Herder got

(01:01:14):
scratched. I believe last Friday forthe rest of the season, Randall gets
scratched today. Shoulder injuries. Thisis exact opposite of what the voice of
the Capitol Regions sports fan would want. An impact player goes down for the
Knicks, and we touched on thatimpact and Kevin Herder has done for the
season two for the case well,and it's you know, listen, when
you when you really think about thestyle of play that Randall has. That

(01:01:37):
shoulder injury is a problem because hegets in, he lowers the shoulder,
he bowls around a little bit.You know, it's a big part of
his game. If they're saying hecould make it worse that way, okay,
obviously now he can't be on theon the court anymore. It stinks.
But now all I'm hoping is thatwe get everybody else back. Can
Miss Robinson return, can O gAnobi return? Can you know? Is

(01:02:00):
is heart gonna be healthy? Islike there's just it's We're in fifth spot
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
as healthy as you can be.It is. It is so Knicks though,

(01:02:22):
Knicks fan. The two years agobefore Randall got there, all that
stuff, we couldn't. We woulddo anything you would ask us to do
to get rid of Julius Randall.And now we're sitting there going what are
we gonna do without Julius Randall?Very it feels very Knicks fan to me
one more time on this. Thepart that's the worst for the Knicks fan
is that you got it right.You have me off seasons, you know
me, trades, you how manymoves the Knicks have gotten wrong twenty five

(01:02:45):
years and this finally felt like,you know what, Lavac and I got
no criticism for what the Knicks havedone. Here you go, here's a
lot up to do it. Let'ssee everybody at full strength, full health.
Uh, Randall, you don't getto see how good this Nick team
could really be. Feel like youget cheated as a fan to not find
out how much potential and how deepthis team could be. Look they're STI

(01:03:07):
gonna play the games, they goto playoffs, but that could be unfortunately
the storyline that happens for the restof April and May of what this team
could have done if Randall was onthe floor. Yeah, it's it's definitely
it's things. It's not what Iwas hoping for. But you know,
listen, you carry on if youget ogannobe back and Mische Robinson and everybody
says, the rest of the teamis able to stay healthy or or get

(01:03:29):
locked into their seagull arrest and thenmaybe make a run. Maybe make a
run. I'm less confident than Iwas not too long ago. Speaking the
great teams, how about our team, USX Pest Control, Yeah, that
is the team. Right now isthe time to go to usxpest dot com.

Coach Roland, It's been nearly fourplus years since on the radio side,

(01:04:53):
you and I have talked to coachDerek Rowland, Senior coach. Rowlan's gonna
join us next Fox Sports ninety fivenine nine eighty debut, Levac, I
love it. Let's go back andguys on the Voice of the Capitol Regions
Sports Fan Fox Sports ninety five tonine and nine eighty. I know some
of you you'll find this hard tobelieve, but there's days that I do

(01:05:14):
this show with guys and I goshould I have come back to sports talk?
Should I have? Should? Butthis is one of the moments that
I'm I'm absolutely thrilled I did becausethe last time we spoke to head coach
of the Almany Patruons, Derek Rowland, we were on a different station and
he had just caught word about what'sgoing on with the team because of covid
H and coach, the passion thatyou had for the team came through in

(01:05:39):
that moment and it's made me.If I wasn't already a fan of yours,
it made me a fan of yourstenfold more. And I'm so happy
you're back, and I'm so happythat I'm on the radio where I get
to talk to you. Yeah,and guys, I'm so happy to be
back and happy to talk to youguys on the radio and in life is

(01:05:59):
good man, and doing what Ilove to do, and it's a it's
a good thing. It's a reallygood thing, and you just so happen
to have a pretty good basketball teamwith you too. Yeah. Yeah,
I've got a few of my friends. Yeah, we got, we got,
we got a very talented team.Uh, we're getting better as we
move forward. Uh. Still makingsome adjustments because you know, we have

(01:06:19):
to be exceptional to win it allin this level. So I'm just making
adjustments and my and my troops areare falling in place. So I'm really
happy where we are and looking forwardto the future. We had an opportunity
last week to talk to the BigBoss, Sam Clifford. He mentioned that
with professional ranks like this, howhard it is to keep a roster to
come back for the following season.Coach, do you feel like that's been

(01:06:41):
one of the strengths of this teamthat you've been able to build that chemistry,
that camaraderie with that unit you haveon this year squad? Oh?
You definitely. You know. Wewe we thought we we left something on
the table by getting beating the semifinals last year at the Buzzer. A
lot of players recommitted, and I'mjust and pieces as we go move along.
So to get to get six ofmy guys back from last year.

(01:07:04):
It's it's a great start, youknow, because we don't we tweak the
system. We don't have to,you know, it's just different. You
know, you can just start outrunning as opposed to teaching and getting chemistry
guards. So we will starting outpretty good, and we definitely have to
get better. Coach rolling of theaudity Patrusas right now, Fox Sports Radio
ninety five. Uh. You know, coach, I have a role with

(01:07:27):
you know, Arena football in thearea, and one of the one of
the powers the players have at thislevel is they can they can just go
like, hey, I don't loveeverything that happened in already last year.
I'm gonna go somewhere else. It'sa major compliment to you and the patroons
that that all these guys were like, not only do we like it,
we're coming back, let's lace themup. We're coming back, man.
And you know, we we treatour players well. They know that we

(01:07:49):
playing and had started Arena. Theyknow that when we played with playing for
history, and they know that they'regoing to learn and win here. And
you know, we we we lookafter the guys. So it it's still
very rare to have six guys comeback to no matter what's going on,
because guys, there's leagues and opportunitiesall over the place Europe and you got
the Canadian League. There's a lotof other TVL teams, you know,

(01:08:12):
so up with Fortunate that's just atestament to the ownership in what they do
here for the players. And topush that even further with Levac said,
it's tough at the professional ranks attimes in comparison to college or high school.
And we talked about local and regionalto follow the history and tradition of
a franchise, but with the allmany patroons have brought, whether it's decades
ago or most recently. And I'llsay this for a second time in back

(01:08:34):
to back weeks, I think therewere some officiating not to get you find
coach. I think you guys hadsome things go against you that we can't
really control in those matchups. Thatthese guys that understand the tradition of the
patroons, that that can also bea rarity when it gets to pro sports.
Oh, absolutely, you know theofficials, I you know, it
seems like I just don't know whatit is. And I hate to even

(01:08:56):
talk about the officials or blame theofficials or you know, but it just
seems like we always have an extrastare of climb in a lot of cases,
you know. You know, maybeit's the history that we have and
expect us to win and so onand so forth, but you know,
we still move forward. We havea target on our back every game.
You know, every team wants tobeat the Patroons because of the championships and

(01:09:18):
the history and everything else that comeswith us. So we get everybody's best
punch, which which I kind oflike because it gets us ready for the
backstretch. So it's it's a toughroad to go, but I wouldn't have
it any other way. What doyou make of this? This Derek Rowland
junior on your roster? How goodis that kid? I picked? I

(01:09:39):
picked him up at the bus station. Man, he said he wanted to
play. I don't know. Igave him my name, you know.
No, he's having a really goodyear so far. You know, he
worked hard at this summer and it'spaying off for him. You know,
I always knew, you know,what he's capable of of doing, and

(01:10:00):
uh and me as his dad andbeen with him since he was you know,
a condent playing basketball, I kindof know is what you know,
what he needs to do, andhe's been doing it and uh and he's
just out there, you know,just like one of the other guys,
putting the work in and so farhe's having success. Coach. A lot
of your guys play above the rim. Is that is that big in recruiting,

(01:10:21):
like just to have that extra excitementof guys going up and slamming it
down. Yes, absolutely, youknow, this is entertainment. You know,
the TBL is you know, Imean, nobody wants to come and
watch a boring type of game,you know, no matter what level it
is. So I I do understandthe side of entertainment and having the fans
get excited. So I like theguys that play above the rim and that

(01:10:42):
can shoot the deep three, andthat can make the great pass and you
know, and make plays. Youknow. I've always been that way as
far as who I try to bringin, you know, and what style
of play we like. You know, we played transition, fast break,
you know, aliyup above the rim, you know, type of game.
So we you know, we gota couple of tough losses at the Harmony,

(01:11:03):
but the fans is like the twoof the greatest games they've ever seen.
There. You know, it wasa one two point game, but
the style of play and the competitivenessthat we played with, that's a good
thing. The original article Derek rollingwith us right now on Fox Sports Radio
ninety five nine eighty Albanny Patrin's Basketballdot Com so you can find all the
information about this year squad and more. They are back at home this Saturday

(01:11:25):
is they host the Rhode Island Crackingat seven o'clock. But before you get
the Cracking back in the five oneeight, you guys headed Connecticuts take on
the Crusaders Friday night. For thosewho've been following the sports world, we
know that the Yukon men's basketball teamhas had some travel issues even to get
to the final four. You guysare headed into Connecticut. Coach, is
there any issues with travel or thisweekend or no? I got some breaking

(01:11:46):
news that they I don't know ifSam didn't break it to you that the
venue has been changed to the WashingtonAvenue Army for Friday night because they had
a venue. Is there, Well, there we go breaking news right here,
Fox Sports. Yeah, that's right. You know, it's been out
there. We've been talking about it. It's been on our social media,
and I've talked to, you know, a couple of people about a couple

(01:12:10):
of moose stations. But yes,that game is home on Friday night.
We played Friday night against Connecticut andSaturday night against Rhode Island. All right,
So two chances this weekend to gocheer on the Patroons and be a
part of the armory. The energyin there is electric. That's great.
Like listen, I mean, anychance you get to take on the crack
and that's fun because I heard,as I said to uh Sam last week,

(01:12:33):
I heard the mascot's name is Filma. But as a serious Connecticut stay
l out everybody, y gosh,I know, man, But anytime I
can not have to go on theroad treatment music to my ears, Man,

(01:12:53):
I'm probably putting a million miles inmy career, you know. So
anytime I get a chance to stayhome and play in front of our fans,
that's a great thing for us.All right. So so the Crusaders,
you're gonna make the Crusaders crusade.That's gonna be. That's gonna be
other fifth and then and then Filmaand the Krakens go down on the six.
You don't know that. I don'tknow, man, I just want

(01:13:15):
to beat They could be anybody.We just need to win. Man in
that, which is so good tohear you laughing, brother, because I
mean again, hey, this iswhere you belong. Four years is too
long. Hey, I know,man. I always have a great time
talking to you guys, and Iappreciate you having me on. And I

(01:13:35):
look forward to to seeing you guysat some point, men down at the
Armory and and we can we canhave some fun. We gotta have one
other thing. Coach did this inhis car and he claimed he parallel parked.
How did the parallel parking go?Like? Were you good at it?
You need to practice? I wanthey, I one shot, one
take all, take right in therebag. You know, hey, I

(01:13:59):
drive more than that, do anythingelse, you know, so I should
be pretty good at it. Butyou have to on the first shot because
I had the pressure. I hadyou guys late on, you know what
I mean. So I came.I came to pressure is a privilege,
right, Coach Derek Roland, Man, we appreciate you so much. Everybody,
get over to the Armory Friday.You got the Crusaders coming to town

(01:14:20):
now. Uh, Saturday, Filmaand the Krakens from Rhode Island will be
here. Uh. They're gonna getdunked all over. It's gonna be a
lot of fun. And you couldbe there for it at a lot of
fun. All right, coach man, we appreciate you. Now you gotta
get out of that parallel spot justas well as you got into it.
I gotta get out, man.That's it. That's the last. Well,
that's it, Okay, I don'tknow, like so I missed the

(01:14:45):
dates up you flipped the locations.Well oiled machine. Well, he must
think we haven't been on radios this. Let's let me talk to us four
years ago. Here's the thing withthe truth, Sam and Coach everybody else.
It is a hopefully you have afun and experience listening to the interviews
that we have with them. Youdon't truly know what to expect with the
patroons of the back guys, andsometimes we don't know what to expect with

(01:15:08):
the patroons. And thank you forbeing patient with us. We'll say it
is and you know again that levelthe patroons, the Firebirds that that level
of athletic competition, there is there'sa give and take. So like if
Connecticut has an issue, Albany canchoose to help them or take a forfeit,
you know, I mean Albany choseto help them and host them,

(01:15:30):
and now here we go and it'syeah, so as long as as listen,
the biggest game is gonna be Saturdaynight. Phil McCracken's gotta 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
that question because you had this happen, like I believe your first year as
the team press was it Jacksonville couldn'tget on the flighters? Wasn't the first
year, but yeah, it was. That was the But at least they

(01:15:53):
have it out in advance, yes, because that was so that you know,
obviously down in Florida there's there's theselike a big weather events that happened.
There was 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 they booked everything, everybody likeyou don't think about that they booked based
on who wanted to travel together,so all of their skill players were here,

(01:16:15):
none of their linemen, so wehad we had to move the game.
A day later, we were giventhe option to force a forfeit or
to move the game. Actually,I'm sorry we were never given the option,
and now that I think back toit, but we also wanted to
play and just to flip back tothe Yukon thing because again involved in the
state of Connecticut. I will divemore to the final four matchups tomorrow as
we preview Don't forget your Home forthe Final Fours right here on Fox Sports

(01:16:38):
ninety five, nine and nine eighty. I love some of the media type
like, oh my god, howwas Yukon going to handle only beat in
the city fifty hours before tip off? It's all the media people. The
media people's media availability got canceled.That's what happened. So all the report
I get it, they have ajob to do. I'm not gonna shot
it, but I don't think that'sgoing to affect the game. Maybe I'll
be wrong, and I'm talking toyou con on that and the Patrus are

(01:17:00):
they're gonna be fine with all theadjustments and coach and his squad and Sam
and everybody. They're gonna be justified. The Patuons are a really good team.
Makesac We caught a bunch of butI think we got the most Patuons
games we'd caught in a while lastyear. Go out support this team.
It's a great time. I'm readyto go back now. You know,
I felt like I chased out atone point, but not by the Patroons,
not by the Patrurans. But uhno, it's it's we gotta get

(01:17:21):
over there. It's always a blast. It's it's I mean, honestly,
it's cheap. Like you talk abouthaving a good time on the on the
like cost effective level you can take. It's like twenty bogs you get called
five dollars bears. You get ahot dogs right strings and bring the family,
have a great time, do allthose things. You know what you
can may get there in the HondaPilot as well. Back Maybe I'll drive
a silver and my wonderful Honda Pilotgot through the snow today, had new

(01:17:44):

Capitol Regions Sports Fan Fox Sports ninetyfive, nine and nine eighty. I

(01:21:29):
don't think I said five five sixeight eight five six eighty five. I
think that's the number for the IntegraCenter. They this morning when I was
on Picks, So you know,I knew the weather was gonna be an
issue. Gobble or early got overhere. One of the reasons I've gonned
my mouth is. I got chasedout of the bathroom because my daughter had
a doctor's appointment. So like,you know, I brushed my teeth,

(01:21:49):
but I didn't do like you knowyou brush your there's the I'm in a
hurry brush that by you know,four something on on a Thursday, you're
going to come and then there's likeyour normal brush where you're good. So
I walk, I get here,I gotta hear about eight o'clock. About
eight oh five, I get atext from Cantera. Hey, man,

(01:22:10):
if you just want to do overthe phone, you don't have to drive
this stuff. We can do itwhatever over the door. I go.
It feels like a waste of aphone call. It does, and Quinn
starts dying, no idea what I'mtalking about, just thinks it's funny.
It's all got But it was,yeah, so it's on those That's how
that's how today started? Was that? So here I is? Yes?
And did Quinn declare he's the victor? Does he know he's the winner?
He seems like all right, sotwo things. He didn't seem to want

(01:22:34):
to believe me. Okay, LikeI just go because he had a team
lose and whatever in North Carolina Statehurt him, and I'm like, North
Carolina State hurt everybody, So itdoesn't matter like it Like a lot of
people who don't do the brackets,they don't understand that, like some of
these bracketbusters are just universally bad.So all it does is lower the overall
total score. It doesn't hurt youractual, you know, chance of winning.

(01:22:59):
But then I brought up that theSweet sixteen start over from from C
four and they were like, wait, what, So they're blaming you for
not telling them that there was aC four challenge for the second for the
Sweet sixteen. I told him there'sa lot of things, guys that has
been leaving out for people lately,like how many hours a day I work

(01:23:20):
and all these other things that arecoming up. So I promise you I
will not leave out the anger emailsfrom the Boston Red Sox fans. We're
gonna get to that in a second. I know he teased it in the
last break after coaches interview. Weappreciate him. I know we will get
to that. We will get towhat I consider to be the meanest voicemail
we've ever had left for us.I had to chop up today from Johnny
and Glen's falls. But first,I've got two Instagram questions for you.

(01:23:43):
Okay, I'll start with the firstone. This is the one, Sir,
Syracuse basketball fans. Do you knowthe name Brooklyn Vic? Have you
ever heard of that name before?Brooklyn Vic? Brooklyn Vic? No,
I don't know it. Brooklyn Vickis a basketball player in Florida. He's
got over ten thousand followers on Instareming'sa very good players, a guard.
Well, he shook the Syracuse basketballfan base last night. Is right around

(01:24:03):
midnight he declared he was committed toSyracuse. All right, cool. You
know coach Autry is bringing in recruitfrom Florida. Some players are right in
the portal. It's a good sign. I wasn't familiar with Brooklyn Vick's work,
so I'm like, okay, let'ssee what this guy's about. It
looks pretty good. Yep. Cometo find out, coach Autry's also not
familiar with Brooklyn Vick. Stort Oh, we had a full on catfish last

(01:24:24):
night. I remember years it's likesixteen years ago. He had the fake
commit who said he was committing toOregon hel and they really weren't recruiting him.
Syracuse basketball fans, you had thathappened last night where a player from
Florida committed to Syracuse and the coachesdidn't know he was coming. So you
want to follow the Brooklyn vic story, he can follow that he is not
according to the coaching staff and otherreports coming to Syracuse. It is always

(01:24:47):
like we've seen this happen a littlebit here and there. It's not that
frequent, because it is. It'sgotta be. It's got to be embarrassing
when you get caught. But there'sso many of these these jackwagg bigans who
are just out for the clicks,just out for the for the the clout,
as the kids say. So Iwonder how many of them, dude,

(01:25:09):
just think it'll be funny when theyget caught in the end. But
like I've seen people just get drugfor this kind of stuff, like,
oh, I'm going to Illinois.What you can't even spell Illinois? Bro,
Like what are you talking about?They had the full photoshop graphic to
the committed. Now, if youget offered, maybe the kid didn't know
the difference in offered a committed.I find that hard to believe. The

(01:25:29):
post has been deleted, so maybethey're maybe we'll give him credit. Maybe
there was some miscommunication the second one. And I know you don't like these
questions, but we have to addressit. You have nothing to do with
the Albany Empire Instagram for the thousandthtrime, Levac has nothing to do with
the Instagram now taken over by modelsone hundred and ten thousand followers with it

(01:25:53):
looks like twins or models. Ifyou follow Albany Underscore Empire, that's not
a reason to go follow them becauseI just mentioned models in bikinis. Sorry,
insta what Instagram Albany Underscore Empire.There are pictures of models. Let's
say they're not hanging out in thesnow. I have nothing to do for
the thousand times, I have zeroto do with anything Albany Empire related that

(01:26:18):
that entity was bought by Antonio Brown, who he and I don't see I
on a lot of things. Iwill be one of the few people that
continue to bang the drum that heowes. In my opinion, the von
Schuller family five percent of whatever hemay have sold the instagram for, because

(01:26:40):
they are five percent owner of thatteam. Last I knew unless he made
some kind of restitution, which Imean he's wearing stolen jewelry. Why would
he? Why would he pay peoplehere in the Capitol region? I like
those guys. While you're looking atthat Instagram, can you do me a
favor? Yeah? Can you goto your Gmail or your iHeart email?
You have not seen any of theseyet. We're gonna do this as true

(01:27:00):
as we can. I have abunch of angry Boston Red Sox emails i'd
like you to read if you don'tmind. Okay, there's about we're gonna
do four today, four yea fouron the clocks. My gmails they ball
should be there. Yes, let'slet's debut a new segment. Last time
we didn't have an intro for this, but now I do. This is
a new segment called and Now wereturn to another thrilling episode of Angry Boston

(01:27:26):
Red Sox fan emails read by yourlovable entertaining host, Jeff Levac. I
like that. That's very nice.I don't know if I want to read
them in that style or as aBostonian. Okay, so Bob is not
my first one here, Bob,Bob, Hello, Will Red Sox games

(01:27:47):
be on nine to eighty again thisyear. I know sometimes the NCAA tournament
games bump them early in the season. That's it, it's nice, that's
nice. It's just just doing alittle research check in. I wonder what
happens when you're right back to himand go, no, not Aaron,
Eric, are you still broadcasting theRed Sox one word radio broadcast this year?

(01:28:14):
Broadcasting the broadcast? No? Eric? Hello, Frank, how about
bringing back the Red Sox so Idon't have to listen to this screaming from
seven to ten? Who screams forseven to ten? I think that it's
Rob Parker and Chris Bussard. They'renot fans of the Odd Couple. It
seems. Yes, it's not agreat shot. I can't. It's not
very slightly better than the Red Sox. But I do like that. Frank's

(01:28:38):
like, you know, hey,look, I have an issue. I
would also like to offer a solution. So far, I don't know why
you're upset about these emails. Thatone more about programming, But okay,
all right, this is a longone. What would you prefer Kevin's in
Bostonian or or dramatic? Dramatic?If you can't definitely dramatic for that one
from Kevin. I just wanted todrop a note about what I heard on

(01:29:01):
your afternoon drive show. That's us. Apparently you will not be carrying the
Boston Red Sox games this year.As a Socks fan, this is disappointing,
but I can certainly understand the businessdecision. What I cannot understand is
why I needed to be insulted forbeing a Red Sox fan. We were

(01:29:26):
called losers and idiots and the teamwas referred to as the Red Sox by
those Why why there were two wise? Why alienated entire fan base in that
manner? These guys made it clear, and as a Sox fan, I

(01:29:48):
am not wanted as a listener.Please know that the message was received.
I will no longer be a listener. Thank you you. The multiple wives
really brought that one home. Whythey were right? Multiple wives in the
email. Wow, it's really nothappy that last one, so Kevin,

(01:30:10):
You've never never heard of a sportsrivalry before they were had some good natured
ribbon going on. Eh. Itsucks, Kevin fun Man, Like I
said, Buck Fouston, and hereit is. I believe Johnny and Glen's
falls is what We're gonna call himis a Red Sox fan. Now,

(01:30:31):
this message came to our news department. Oh, our news department. I
got some news for you. IHeeart Media of Albany. This came to
our news department on a Wednesday morning. That's six forty five in the morning.
This clip was four minutes long.I had to chop at two about
ninety seconds. I know, ninetyseconds doesn't sound long way. What time

(01:30:53):
was this? This is at sixforty five in the morning on Wednesday,
Wednesday morning, so after the Yankeesuffered their first loss. Now, I'll
tell you the first about minute andten seconds of this cut was him just
talking about a tragedy. It keptgoing over and over, so I had
to chop all that off. Sothis is about the rest of it.
Again, we're gonna call this guy. Johnny and Glen's falls calling the news
department at what stay it's six herewe go, yeah, Channel surf and

(01:31:18):
then heard that the Yankees lost theirfirst game. What was the tragedy in
losing the game? You know,did the stadium collapse or there was you
know, something catastrophic on the wayto the game or whatever it is.
If you just connect the docs onhow the Yankees losing is a catastrophic event.

(01:31:42):
What what what happened? You know? What? What what? What?
What was not in the in thein the in the broadcast off that
game? What tragedy was it?I'm on the edge of my seat.
Please show me, Please share withme the tragedy that the Yankees suffered losing
that first game. The problem likeyou guys, I got the Rivers and
here and there, and you've gotevery single kid in school that never played

(01:32:05):
a sport that you know, there'sone hundred pounds overweight. Owis sits there
and takes ohow, Garrett Cheters,don't really this guy know that? And
Karl Malone is no good and youknow Lebron James and the Floppers. You
guys never spent two seconds on aprofessional court in your life, yet you
are the experts and the critics oneverything. I see one Ton, two

(01:32:27):
ton and no hold the River's casinoall the time, laughing their their egg
plants about sports and this do anythingpick black or volleyball, and every other
sit down there say how this guyis so good and this guy's what a
bad deal this guy made. I'mtaking advice from a guy that you know
east south of McDonald's dollar. Thenyou on bad career choices. Thank you

(01:32:48):
so very very much for your youryour wife's spectrum of broadcasting and you're on
by you know, UH need tobring the truth and you know bring it's
the sports I'm looking to, youknow, to hear that. I'll take
tune for the next you know,Pater ten jacket, Johnny glass fault,

(01:33:11):
that is Johnny fall is that That'swhat we're gonna go with that one ton
and no hole? What was it? I think I think we were both
referenced with our large well we'll saymass. I don't. I didn't didn't
matter. We were just you know, I thought you can't. I thought
he had like a I thought youhad a name for the show. Like
I was like, if you hada name for the show, I was
gonna be like like if I waslike if I was one ton and you

(01:33:31):
were blowhole said two tons and donuthole I think was the other one egg
plants. How you doing? Iknow that, I know that I know
what that emoji means doing. Doyou remember our Carl Malone rites? I
don't. I don't remember about ticketshots at Carl Malone. I never I
referenced him at one point. Ithink I definitely because he's he's not a

(01:33:54):
great person. We took shots atJeter. That was I will I will
tell you this, like, howdo you feel the need to acknowledge I'm
gonna acknowledge it since he's concerned aboutmy health. I do acknowledge that them
overweight. I will also let youknow that I do not go to the
dollar menu. You couldn't afford toeat where I eat. So let's just
be clear on that. Have fourjobs. I'm not poor. I'm just

(01:34:15):
stupid. Uh, you couldn't.You couldn't afford it, buddy, you
couldn't. I can tell because ifit's six forty five in the morning,
that's your biggest concern. Who haveyou been been holding on to whatever one
of us said about karm alone forall this time? Oh my god?
And I love that. Like,so I would like to also redirect your

(01:34:36):
logic. So, guys, becausewe've never played NBA basketball, we can't
talk about it. Have you everdone a radio show, Jackass? Huh?
Have you? I'd rather you didn'tbecause I'd rather you didn't criticize them.
If you've never done one. I'mjust concerned that Johnny from Glenn's Falls
has been watching us for weeks atrivers, I'm just staring, like they're

(01:34:58):
the ones who took down the RedSox. They're the ones who did it.
Is that what set him off?With the Red Sox part? It
seems like it. It seems likehe's very upset because he opened with the
Yankees. He's like, who caresif the yank so I took that.
I'm sorry I took that as hethought there was an overreaction to the way
that was being reported. Oh maybeI felt like he was more of a

(01:35:18):
Yankee fan because he opened that callscene about and our podcast on Can Run,
there's the tragedy, what's the problem, And he said he was channel
surfing. So I went and didsome digging. I checked with our guy
John Atulio, who does sports reportson g Why. I thought, Oh,
maybe he'd in the Am drive andmaybe the Tulia was having fun with
it. He did not. ThenI thought maybe it had with Jonas Knox,
who's our morning show host with LeVarArrington and Brady Quinn. They didn't

(01:35:40):
say it either, So there's achance he heard someone else say that at
another station in assumed we said it, and then called the complain to the
news department. Who's that sports departmentabout he complained about something we didn't say,
or or the app movie? Becauseremember I did start the show tongue

(01:36:00):
in cheek like it's the end ofthe world. They lost the game.
I did do that on Wednesday,on whatever day they lost. I remember
coming on and be like, ohno, what would we do now?
Last like, I don't is thatbetter? Did he did? He hear
it and then play it back atsix am? Men called this. I
don't know. There's a lot ofquestions here. Just I just again,
I you know, listen, I'mmore than happy to you know, if

(01:36:21):
you want to discuss it, youwant to talk sports, I'm in let's
have some fun, you know.But if you're gonna sit behind hide behind
your phone and call me fat,and then you're gonna hurt my feelings,
I own mirrors. I can affordthose two. But don't accuse me of
the dollar manue. I will tellyou that right now, because I bought

(01:36:42):
this fat, I way overpaid forit. If we're being perfectly honest,
I you know what also you knowthis because once I got the truckle of
the logos on it, I trynot to be in drive through because I
don't want to hear about it.I would big a big spicy chicken sandwich
at Wendy's. Guy, that's oneof my favorites. You know, had
a nice had a nice Burger Fiberthe other day. May or may not
have been at Ruth Chris, youknow, may have done some stuff.

(01:37:03):
You know, Johnny, if yousee us, please we'll have a cordial
conversation. You have, Johnny doesnot have the stones for that. I
don't think so either. I thinkhe's clearly something something set him off.
I'm gonna stick by us dropping theRed Sox, and who knows, we
may have another edition of Angry RedSox fans. He's the leader right now.
A formute mesund familiar to me.Oh, it sounds like a voice

(01:37:23):
I've heard before me. So I'mwondering if I do know who Johnny is.
But if I don't, it's funnyanyway. But again, it's such
a coward thing that it's okay though, that's all right. I just again,
yes, I'm fat. I appreciateyou being worried about my health.
I do. But but your logic, unless you have a radio show that

(01:37:43):
we're unaware of, you shouldn't becriticizing radio because you've never done radio in
your life. So there you go, right, it's time for the play
that I really think. But Ithink that's fair. I think I think
trying to rationalize Johnny's thoughts. Well, I'm a rational person. Gods or
blowhole, whatever the hell your nameis now, two ton I think it
was. I think I'm a twotons. I'm fatter than you you're getting.

(01:38:05):
I mean, you're you're not thespecimen you once were, but you're
not fat. I'm taking Indiana Statetoday in the play that eight thanks to
Vogevy. It's the n final tonight. We should have had Cream abdul Jabbar.
We should have had the big manin the tournament. Who knows,
maybe they could have made a runin as an eleven seed. Maybe they

(01:38:26):
could have gone to the final four. I'm sorry, big Al. I
know you're a Seaton Hall of fan. Maybe you're listening right now. You
came to the office today. Weappreciate you, and I thank you for
all the things you've done for us. Thanks to Capitol Cup for kids and
more by betting against your son's almamater. Give me idiot of State all
three and a half points. Ihad an all time miss Thank you Cardinal
McCarthy for pointing that out on Twitterlast night. I missed by over by

(01:38:46):
forty points. Mmm, that's thanks, that's thanks. I would uh,
you know, I'm just gonna Idon't know what's gonna happen with the next
we talked about, you know,Heart being banned up and Randall not coming
back. I'll just, you knowwhat, I'll do, just just for
the fun, because I want towatch the game, but I don't want
to be worried about the w I'mgonna go over twenty nine and a half

(01:39:09):
points for Jalen Brunson. I thinkJalen Brunson is thirty. Okay, So
a little little love on a littlelove on Jalen Brunson right there. The
Nicks needs some love after that randomnews be open. Oh man, that's
the first hour with today. Isee you knew it was a thing.
It's running two. Like like JoshHart when he said, like, you
know, basically like we're not We'renot. It'd be posing a surprise or

(01:39:29):
whatever if they came back. It'sit's almost like the the NIX looks around.
I went, well, I guesswe have to make the an thound.
Now it's likeks a lot. Joshappreciate loose lips thing ships, buddy,
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 hasbeen set forward for me and my my

(01:39:49):
investing, and uh it fits mybudget, you know, because because failing
to plan is planning to fail usten. I don't know whether or not Drew
Prescott would condone me being on thedollar Menu. I don't know either.
I know that's the question. I'llhave to ask him next time I see
him. Uh, But I doknow that when you're when you're attempting to

(01:40:10):
build a plan and build your wealth, that's the guy you want to talk
to. I love when you goto Prescott pw dot com our team.
It's just Drew. You're not gonnaIt's not one of those situations where you
know, you get signed up bysomebody who you know you really like the
way they think financially. And eventhough you know, there's no guarantees in
the financial world. You're like,this is the person I want to invest

(01:40:31):
I want to make plans with ordo things. And then they're not even
the one who handle your stuff anymore. You're gonna sit down, You're can
talk to Drew. You're gonna likehim just as much as we do.
Drew's probably Drew might be one ofthe people who send an emails. He
is a Red Sox fan, right. Uh. Could you imagine if he
actually was Johnny, Oh my god, that'd be the best. He'd be
like, I love back. Itold you no more. All you can
to four is the dollar menu.Stop going to Ruth, Chris two,

(01:40:53):
ton Tony or whatever your name is. But no, this great guy,
he's gonna give you solid advice.Sometimes when you sit down with Drew Prescott,
he's gonna say, I may notbe the right guy to work with
you here. Let me recommend somebody. Because he wants you to have the
joy the well being of building yourfinancial wealth, and he wants to do

(01:41:14):
it the right way. And that'swhy you should go to Prescott pw dot
com. Happy birthday, Mom,We're at Live at Mohawks Chevy Tomorrow.
Happy birthday, Mom. Is shegonna be there? No, she's in
Europe. She's in Europe, faraway from her kids. Mom's jetson smart.
