Five point nine. It's time forthe Top four four with Levac and Guz
four. Time of the four biggeststories and the world of sports. Thanks
for our good friends at Mohawk Honda, where they always go out of the
way to please you. Guys.What's the fourth biggest story? Even though
it's April and the NFL drafts stilla few days away, we've got some
(00:21):
news involved in the twenty twenty fourregular season. We've got to kickoff.
We know it's Week one, butBrazil will feature the Eagles and the Packers.
Levac. We can dive deeper intothis if you want later in the
show. But your first reaction hearingPackers and Eagles on a Friday in Brazil,
week one of the season, wellthat just screams NFL to me.
(00:45):
You know, Brazil, It's great, very excited for it now. I
listen. I get it when youwhen you make more money than any other
sport in the world and everything.Maybe so, I don't know, Soccer
do more around the world. Idon't know, but the NFL has got
to find new markets to get moremoney. They've only they can only take
(01:06):
so much from each one of us. I hope Week one like Opening Day
is great from anjor league baseball,it's fun. Fans are super into it.
College football is a little bit different, and we've all kind of sniffed
out what they're trying to do withWeek zero. I think remarkably when it
happened, you had to explain toa lot of people at our office of
(01:26):
you guys know, Week zero isbecause of a drink, right, Like
that's why they did week what Well, I think they branched past it too.
Now now I don't know if theyeven involved because at that point it
was Coke zero and they were themajor sponsor of Week zero it, which
is brilliant, you know what Imean, Like, hey, can I
gets your money? Yeah, well, what do you do for me?
How about a Week zero shop?Take my money? Here you go.
(01:48):
College football is a real kickoff,isn't like that? And now the NFL,
which Thursday night was the night,and then it was Sunday, and
then they had a double Monday night. Now they got a Friday. The
NFL is always usually get things rightand rarely gets criticized because of the amount
of money they make. This onefeels a little clunky. At least Week
one We'll dive deep into that laterin the show. Let's move on to
(02:08):
story number three. It involves theNHL and why we're bringing up hockey is
to keep Islander fans interested. That'sright. A New York storyline continues to
look over the NHL's final few gamesof this season. The season concludes on
the eighteenth, which is actually afterthe NBA's regular season. And why that
(02:29):
sounds weird and even saying it outloud, I sound like I'm hesitating is
because it's never how it used tobe. But because we have the play
in tournament is technically the playoffs,hockey might actually end before the NHL NBA.
The Islanders are still on the outsidelooking in eighty seven total points from
the Islanders. The fact that seemsto be now a national storyline. The
(02:51):
New York Islanders fighting for a playoffberth on a skill of one to ten,
with ten being you'll be locked infor every minute of action of the
Islander playoff push, in one beingyou just realized it and probably won't watch
any of it. Give me yourrank of excitement here for the finish involving
a New York team. Listen,I'll be very very clear. The Islanders
(03:12):
are dirty. You're dirty, You'redirty. Okay, you're gonna play the
Rangers at least one more time thisseason, but they tried to kill Devinta
dad last night. I was I'mover this evil, evil Islanders? How
dare you? But no, Ireally I would love to see the Rangers
versus the Islanders at some point inthe in the postseason, in the pursuit
of Lord Stanley's Cup. But asa Rangers fan after last night's game,
(03:35):
Islander's jumped on him early three nothingand played more physically than than the Rangers
did. That was it was.That was tough. That was tough watch.
But also it's pretty clear the Rangersdidn't take them serious and they got
beat up for it. There aremoments where I hope, because of the
result of something else happening in asport, influences the other sports to make
a change for their sports. Nowthat's a very wide statement, and I'm
(03:59):
not optimistic it would have happen,because nobody who's expanded their postseason in the
NBA, Major League Baseball, theNFL is going to contract their postseason because
they've watched the money pour in,especially for streaming services. But what the
NHL is setting up to finish,like with the Islanders at eighty seven,
the Capitals at eighty five, thePenguins at eighty four, the Flyers at
eighty three, and the Red Wingsat eighty four. So that's two spots
(04:26):
available with one, two, three, four five teams still in contention.
That's awesome. Like, that's whatyou want when it comes down to the
end of the postseason. You wantall these games at the end of the
season really mattering, not like whatwe saw with the Chicago Bulls trying to
figure out what they were doing.Not like Victor Webinon is sitting for the
Spurs in the end, Like there'sso many other stories the Celtics. We
(04:47):
covered this early in the show.Celtics, these games don't matter at the
end of the season. They've alreadygot the one seed locked up. Credit
to hockey for not expanding and potentiallyhaving a great set up to the end
of the regular season, better thanany other professional sports league in a long
time. Well, the only thingI will say is, you know,
if you if you were winning thePresident's Cup, you probably shouldn't lose the
(05:10):
first round of the playoffs. Nomatter how long they are Boston last year.
Sorry, So I'm good now,right? You know what I was.
I was gonna make this story numberone, but I'm a little bitter
after that hockey take, so I'mgonna push the NBA schedule of games tonight
here at story number two. Gamesof note tonight will start with the West
Coast games Sons and Clippers ten thirtytip off out in LA. Timberwolves and
(05:30):
Nuggets. Are the Timberwolves for real? Are the Nuggets gonna go back to
back? Those are storylines they lookforward to. Already spoiled the potential big
Wemby versus homegrown battle of the bigseven footers and young guys in the league?
Is Wemby won't play tonight? Thatmaybe be the most like I want
to see them, because it's gonnabe the least attractive skyscrapers ever. Guys
like Chet Holmgren and Janisanto Tokumpo andVictor Webbiniana. Can you imagine watching the
(05:58):
movie Hoosiers and then seeing those guyslike Hoosiers was gonna look like a science
fiction movie. It is a bunchof those guys saying this is the best
Indiana basketball could offer the scene wherehe measures the hoop and it's like it's
said, it's ten feet here,it's ten feet there, and then one
of the guys goes, yeah,seven feet right, Okay, I'm I'm
(06:18):
five eight and I'm our center.What are you doing? Bob Coosey,
a Hall of Famer, one ofthe great basketball players of all time,
has been catching strays the last fewyears where people will say Bob Coosey played
against plumbers in about twenty five years, people are gonna look at Draymond Green
and Lebron and say, yeah,those guys are playing its podcasters, I
(06:40):
think that was somebody else's quote,but I stole it. Thanks Ryan Rosillos.
He gets two. I'll cut thatoff for the podcast. Nobody will
notice that you say it confidently andyou move on. It's yours now.
Magic in Bucks tonight at is eighto'clock as well. Maybe the Bucks will
attempt more than two free throws.God, I am not over the Celtic
Buck game from last night. It'sso bizarre. Let's be on story number
one, suck baseball, and thatis the number one story. Games of
(07:02):

(07:25):
James won nothing, the Snakes fromthe Desert up to one of the Rockies

way, I didn't know. Oh, I didn't mention this. Orioles Red
Sox at seven to ten and thenumber one prospect in baseball is scheduled to
make his debut tonight. Jackson Holiday, just twenty years old, the former
(07:47):
number one pick in the Major LeagueBaseball Draft. Levaku You shared the video
of his call up. The surpriseman Holiday, his father formerly of the
New York Yankees, Rockies and manyother teams. So the number one prospect
in baseball, it's looking to makehis debut tonight at Fenway Park. I
mean it's a little early the wayof the white flag and look for help
(08:07):
out of the farm system. Butyou know, I guess whatever whatever it
takes to stay relevant for the season. Orioles, you know, good,
good for you, hope, butuh hope it doesn't blow up in your
face. Maybe he plays well,there's some trade value to him, you
know, You never you never know, couldn't work out in your on your
behalf, you never know. Youknow what I'm gonna do in honor of
(08:28):
Jackson Holiday and getting called up.He's got some great flow, He's got
the whole look of Jackson Holiday.He's got a great swing. He's got
a great demeanor. I'm gonna growout my hair. I'm gonna grow it
out. I don't know how longit's gonna take to get the Jackson Holiday.
No, because you're not gonna You'renot gonna take care of it.
You're gonna just look unkept. Youget if you if you grow it out
(08:50):
right, you go see a barberor whoever every two to three weeks and
have him clean it up. Isupport this, But if you just let

that our lives. No, that'syou, that was you. That was
(09:13):
you all the way up to Vegaswhen you went full Allen and shaved your
own head. I haven't stepped intoa barber. I think it November.
It is the last time I steppedinto a barber. It shows my hair
grows so slow. People are complimentingme. So are you know what you've
You've peer pressured me out of it. You're constant insults and impressions. I'm
(09:33):

hair. You should just do itright, you making a proclamation or grow
out your hair? Like just you'rejust that's just basically, you want to
become cast away. You want me? You want me? You hanging out
with a soccer ball with a faceon it. No, No, Jackson

like that, dude, Like yourhair is different and now's the time.
No, No, you can't.It's his hair is like it's built for
that yours not as much. He'sgonna wear number seven. By the way,
like if you removed all the soulfrom an afro, that's how your
hair would grow up. I thinkthat's strikingly very accurate. Thank you,
(10:20):
thank you, I know you Ipay attention seven. By the way,
the last Orea to wear number sevenBill Ripkin, nineteen eighty eight. Some
some good posts. After the Swedishtalk where we were talking about how how
Yan and Sweden had picked up nineeighty, the Cardinal Ryan McCarthy took a
picture of the Swedish chef tweeted itto us. Tom Nolty from the Chamber
(10:45):
also said the Swedish chef Matthew Bop, I love this amazing radio nerd.
Guys doesn't think that's cool that theradio has made its way to Sweden.
And then our guy Steve kind ofechoing my whole sentiment that whenever they put
the baseball player next to the wrestler, somehow the wrestlers is they're smaller in
real life, and then the nexttime you see a picture, the wrestler's
(11:05):
taller. He put up a pictureof bron Stroman who's sposally six y nine

(18:56):
on ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio. I just don't feel like she's in
it anymore. He's bailing its mailingit in. She is a couple of
things going on. Of course,say the par three contest for the Masters.
Never really paid too much attention toit, but it does have that
amazing off actor, you know,when you see like the little kids out
(19:18):
there with their parents and everything.They're out there golfing. Do you know
the curse of the par three?Are you familiar with that? I don't.
It's not coming directly to my frontlower. I believe it's still the
curse is that if you win thepar three at the Masters, nobody who's
ever won the par three is everwon the Masters that same week. I
(19:38):
did not. I didn't know that, but I you know, hm,
now you do. The more youknow, I wonder if it's some just
sense of accomplishment and just kind ofcloudy judgment whatever. It's one of these
things now where guys intentionally don't tryto play well in it because they are
so superstitious that like oh no,no, no, no, no,
(19:59):
you don't want to win, thatit's a curse and people avoid it.
But the part three is really cool. I guarantee some I guarantee some have
like you know what I mean,Like I guarantee, I absolutely guarantee that
that some people do just kind oflike swing away and see what happens.
Don't really care all that much becauseof it. I don't like the Buffalo
(20:25):
Bills fan base, the Bill's momeasy. Have you ever been to a
Buccaneers game in Orchard Park? Haveyou ever gonna see? Have you ever?
Have you ever rooted for the visitingteam in Buffalo? In Buffalo?
I have not? No, Okay, what are the I have been,
(20:48):
so, you know, blessed myopportunity to see. I've seen the Raiders
play in Denver, major rival,Houston, Baltimore, Uh, you know
against the Jets. I've seen themplay a bunch of places, great times.
Every one of them had a greattime. The only time I didn't
(21:08):
have a great time was Buffalo wasOrchard Park. And and this isn't me
telling like, this isn't me goinglike Bill's Mafia sucks. No, You're
you're an amazing and crazy and likethe word fan is short for fanatic because
of you, like you have aproblem and it's funny and I enjoy it
as long as I'm not there.Like if I was going, if it
(21:30):
was like Bills versus Dolphins or Patriotsor something, Bills versus Patriots, I'd
be the biggest Bills fan. Well, now the bisus they're crazy, I'd
be all over it. But asa Raiders fan, that is the only
time I was ever threatened. It'sthe only time everywhere I went in town
the night before and don't go tothe bathroom alone, like, whoa,
(21:52):
well, I'm not that good looking, like you know. It was it
was so it was they're they're they'reterrifying. You want that, you know,
if they're rooting for me, though, I would love them more than
anything in the world. Stephan Diggshut up, like and I didn't say
anything, so shut up. It'snot fair. But now we live in
a day and age where you nolonger get the benefit of the doubt.
(22:15):
Did he really mean to like thatcomment? Because you did. If you
liked to comment on Twitter, it'sbecause you liked it. It's because you
endorsed it, whether you had theguts to see it yourself or not you
endorse that comment. So let's expandthis a little bit more. For those
who went out beyond social media,you might not know exactly what we're talking
about. So on the platform Twitteror x you have your own profile,
(22:37):
so you can send out your owntweets. You can retweet, so if
you like something that someone else said, you can share their information from your
page, and you can also likethings like oh that's a cool message,
that's great. Well, what hashappened now in the expansion of this website
is that if you like e post, people who follow you can see the
content that you like. The hopeis that, well, if Stefan Diggs
likes something, then maybe I'll likethe social media part of the actual platform.
(23:03):
Well, the fact, do youhave the tweet there that Stefan Diggs
liked when it's said I do,as a matter of fact, you ain't
gonna like it. And it's theit's it's eighteen hours. It's been his
last liked tweet for the last eighteenhours. From at Big BIG's g Worm,
(23:26):
Bill's low key got the worst fanbase, y'all bitter asf that could
mean anything in the comments, SoBill's the worst fan base. You're bitter
and he liked it. He likedit. Why you left them? I
know you got traded, but youwanted to leave. This whole thing's been
(23:48):
going on for long enough. Youscrubbed Buffalo from your social media. You
did this, you did that,you wanted to leave. You left them.
Don't taunt them, leave them alone. They're crazy. They wear condiments.
Literally, something changed. I don'tknow when. I don't know if
it's wide receivers. I don't knowif it's the launch of Twitter or Facebook
(24:08):
or what it is. But nowwhen someone says anything negative or criticizes or
doesn't agree with, hater, uh, low key the worst. Like something
happened where anytime someone doesn't agree withanything that you say on a platform,
you're a hater. You don't getit, you're negative, you're the worst.
(24:29):
And maybe that's just a cultural thing. Maybe that is social media that's
created this, that you can getrid of the content you don't want.
But Bill's fans didn't want Stefan Diggsto leave. Stefan Diggs was taking shots
at Bill's fans and the management likethis has been a year long thing basically,
and for Stefan Diggs to come outand be like on social media,
and he knows how to use theplatform. He is aware of how this
(24:51):
works. Be like I'm gonna likethe stats come on, like you know,
you're trying to get a reaction outof people. You know what you're
trying to do. Ste was ata point previous to I don't even want
to call it a holdout. It'sreally not a holdout that going into that
season in twenty twenty three, peoplethought this was going to be the next
Jim Kelly and Andre Reid. Theythought Josh Allen and Stefan Diggs was gonna
(25:12):
be the difference for the Bills towin a Super Bowl. This is all
like it, It's all his undoing. The only thing he didn't do was
get it in front of the mediaand say how awful Josh Allen is.
He didn't rip apart Thurman Thomas orBruce Smith or Marvin Like. He didn't
go full heal and cut the promobasically, but this is all on him.
He ended his own time in Buffaloand this is almost like worse because
(25:33):
like this just kind of validates mythought that everything his brother was saying was
coming from him. You know,Trey Diggs is saying all this stuff like
he needs out of there. Thishappened, that happened. Whatever. I
just I think. I think he'sa hell of a player. I still
think he's got plenty of skill left. He's not you know, even though
he's thirty, he's not done.But he just he continues to be a
(25:56):
malecontent. He continues to be alocker room issue. And one of the
things I loved the most about himin Buffalo was you could see the pain
when they lost to Kansas City inthe playoffs. You can see it,
and I like, I I feelthat pain when when the Raiders lose as
a fan, when the Yankees losesa fan the Nicks, I feel that
(26:17):
pain. And I'm not on thefield. It's not my livelihood. Well
NFL was last year. What's up, girls in bets? But like,
I like seeing my favorite players carethat much. It means something to me.
So like he was the perfect playerto be in Buffalo, Like you
said, him and Allen's supposed tobe the ones to take you to that
next level. He was. Hewas a top three receiver. I think,
(26:41):
actually think he was top perceptions whilehe was there in the league.
It just it just thinks that italways gotta ended dirty. He's gotta ended
dirty. So I don't know.If I don't know, if the Texans
come to Buffalo in the next yearor two, you gotta hope they do.
I well, And what's the chancehe's even in Houston over a here
(27:02):
they changed this whole deal and makesure he could play for one year and
be out if you want it,it's possible if their production is good and
they're winning and happy. I putthird on that list because that's tough to
figure out what actually satisfies Stefan Diggsand what's gonna truly make him happy when
it comes to the rest of hiscareer going forward. I don't want to
give Buffalo a pass on my takeeither, Like you laid it out well
as an opposing fan of how passionateaggressive the Bill's mafia can be, how
(27:26):
aggressive Bills fans can be, andwe know, as much fun as we
have with them going through tables andlighting themselves on fire, there are some
people, I guess who don't likethat and find that maybe not as appealing.
I don't know kind of nerds theyare, But like there are times
that. Here's the thing about thepassionate huge number of Bills fans. You
are gonna get idiots, but justbecause you disagree with someone just making idiots,
(27:49):
but there are also people who arelighting up the comments. Do you
think this has an effect on thefuture. What I mean by this is
like, Okay, so Stefan digshowed up to Buffalo. There was a
huge amount of expectations what he couldbe because of his own actions. He
didn't love up to and it wascriticized for it. The same thing sort
of happened to Sammy Watkins. LikeSammy Watkins was a high draft pick by
(28:11):
Buffalo, they went up and gotSammy Watkins when Mike Evans was on the
board, Odell Beckham junior was onthe board. I remember that's young Odell
who's setting records in his rookie season. Or you could have gone and gotten
somebody else. But Sammy Watkins tookthe heat and eventually Sammy Watkins wanted out,
was forced out, traded out.However you want to view the end
of Sammy Watkins. But a youngSammy Watkins was awesome coming out to Clemson.
(28:34):
Is a true freshman. When hewas from his entire college career was
good. So Diggs is gone,Watkins is gone t O at one point
and played for the Bills. Thathappened. I don't know if a diva
wide receiver, if we want touse that term, or maybe an outspoken
or impactful can label it however youwant, head case like I don't remember
(28:55):
Sammy Watkins even being a head caseuntil he started talking about aliens years later.
Like Stefan Diggs, I really don'tthink he had like t O like
meltdown, but he did it ina new way. Can one of these
will say big personalities? How labelit? Can a big personality wide receiver
work in the city of Buffalo?I think Andre Who's star there? And
(29:21):
who's who? Who was? Wasit Stevie Johnson who blamed God? Yeah?
Like that blew up? Like StevieJohnson. We're still we remember that
because he was a Buffalo contributor.And the one part about Andre Reid definitely
is a huge personality. You wonderif winning was the great, but it's
tough to find would have done thiswith Andre Reid, But it's tough to
(29:41):
find those star wide receivers like LeeEvans is not on this level. I'm
trying to get other wide receivers whoare impactful for Buffalo had a good window.
No, no, they like yougotta what Lofton read like? Those
guys like those those are the guys. And I bring up this point because
whoever the pick is for Buffalo,Let's say Buffalo for whatever reason, gets
(30:03):
back into the first round or secondround drafts a pretty big name, like
is he now going to be labeledas a big influential personality wide receiver and
start taking the heat everything else?I don't think so. But it is
fascinating when certain positions seem to havefriction with a city. Why is Jake
cumming by that? Like it seemslike quarterback in Chicago never works. Why
(30:25):
is Jake Cutler the best to everhave that happen? That seems really odd.
I'm sure there's other positions, likerunning back Barry Sanders was really good
in Detroit. I mean everyone hasto live up to him. Now,
certain cities, with certain ways inwhich you handle your themselves are rubbed completely
the wrong way. Something just happenedthat makes me very upset. Did I
(30:51):
said it? No? No,no, no, Actually what you said
may feed into it. There isa chance that are new friend from Sweden
is up to something. Oh so, for those of you who didn't hear
earlier, they got a very coolemail. Hey name is Jean in Sweden.
(31:17):
I was able to pick up nineeighty and send it over. Yeah
that's us whatever. So oddly enough, then I now just got to mister
Jeff Levac Dear Jeff, good afternoon. This is another person from Sweden,
Lacelle Akissan, who's like, Ithink my previous email may have been caught
your spam fielder. So now thisone sends me pictures of a woman.
(31:38):
I think it's a long term catfish. I think I'm getting Swedish catfish now.
I just thought it was trying tobe nice to some people. This
is how all the great catfishes start, don't they. They open with a
compliment, They say how great itis. Wow, I saw some of
your work and I've been so impressedand want to continue to follow you.
(31:59):
And then they send it to youand you're, ah, that's incredible.
Like if you've never actually seen themovie Catfish, which of the show is
based on, this is the plotof the movie. The plot of the
movie is that they connect on Facebook, and there's art involved, and the
young daughter starts painting Neve Shulman,and then there's a sister involved that Neive
(32:21):
starts to talk to. I don'twant to spoil it, but I think
we all know the ending of thiswith to now be known as Catfish.
Well, Mac, this is it. Wow. No one else thought it
was weird that some random person fromSweden emailed it into the show that you
could hear our hot takes. Nothere there. I know a little bit
about a broadcast, so that youknow, it just seemed like a cool
thing that happened. Now, itturns out unless unless the lovely list sets
(32:45):
is real, and I'm you know, maybe I'm maybe I'm missing my last
chance at love with someone from Sweden, or maybe we're legends in Sweden.
Maybe we're just have a huge followingin Sweden. There's like welcome to the
back and guys and yeah, welcomeand see pull the numbers. Do you
have your God's leather hosting on?No? All right, I have a
(33:07):
big my die betam. We getan email called the Olympics like, hey,
guys, we've been listening and weneed you guys to come over to
bring some Swedish Olympic coverage because wedidn't think we could get you, I
mean emails. Do you realize howfast would I get kicked out of what
Sweden? Of the Olympic coverage?UH saw reports hundreds of thousands of cons
(33:30):
have been sent here. Uh like, I wouldn't. How do you think
Costas got Pincott one year? Guys? I wouldn't able to control myself.
I would be out of control eatinga sausage. You know. Yeah,
it hurts me that that's not that'snot a real Probably it doesn't appear to
be real. Have you do youhave access to HBO or or Max the
(33:52):
Swimming? Yes? I do.You have to watch The Truth versus Al
Jones. It's both sad and justI can't. It's like two hours,
it's all. It's about the wholeSandy Hook thing where he where he said
it worth They weren't real this show. I was like, I just put
(34:12):
it on till till the kids gethome with the dinner or whatever. The
kids got home like an hour,like a half hour, an hour into
it, and I'm just like,you guys need to shut up, shut
your mouth watching TV, watching theshow. It I hate that guy after
this show. H I never likedhim, but I always thought, like
I always laugh at him, whyare you laughing? I can confidently tell
(34:36):
you I will probably never watch thatshow. Why not. I get twenty
minutes. I get twenty minutes maybean hour of consuming some sort of content.
So like last night was the nextgame with flipping between the Knicks and
Bulls, plus I got Rangers andA's plus I got the Orioles. I
(35:00):
don't know when I can squeeze inthis. I mean you're telling me it's
good reviews, Like that's what Ilive off of now, either really big
sports stories or unbelievable television shows thatI feel smart watching. I don't know
if I can squeeze this in.I feel bad because it seems like you
watched it and it changed everything youviewed, like I wish I was on
(35:22):
the tip of viewing schedule yard.I don't know if I ever will watch
it. I will confess that toyou. I was one of the people
who like all the sad stories inthe world if I can just get enough
of them that I understand what happened. But I don't need to actually like
immerse myself in it. That's whereI'm at. So the Sandy Hook,
I've just I've always kind of keptan arm's length on it because not only
(35:42):
is it a tragedy that involves children, I knew about the whole story without
shows where he told everybody it wasfake and like to the point where people
were like attacking the parents, SoI always stayed away from it. This
is the most I sat down andpaid attention to it. Alex Jones again,
I used to find aim entertaining becausehe's just so over the top.
But just what it's come back,what an absolute But you should probably buy
(36:05):
our extract that we know. Imean, that's what he did. Likes,
that's how he did it, Andthey were able to prove that he
sold more of his weird stuff duringthe more controversial shows, and it was
just all it's a level of media, like, you know, I see
why you kind of we I don'tknow intentionally on intentionally, I think it
did intentionally of like you faked peopleout, like oh, like hey,
(36:28):
I'm saying something fake. But aslong as it gets clicks, why am
I doing something wrong? It doesn'tmake the truth there. It is the
actual show title, The truth versusAlex check and go what is actually what
is being talked about that's bringing thoseadvertisements out there? Sick, I mean
the deplorable, my friend, butjust it was worth watching. It's it's
(36:53):
sad, It's definitely sad, butat the same time, the sadness goes
away. And what feeds me ingets me through every one of my days.
An overwhelming just hatred of scum thatthat takes over at one point and
then you're and then you're in andnow you're rolling and now it's a good
time today, just so you know, guys like wheels up and running at
(37:14):
the end because I got the coachesshow Flock University today over under the Orange
rooms. Hey look at you.You're Rocket the Firebird gear. Right now.
It's a Wednesday, and that meansFlock University is just around the corner.
See, I'm a brand. I'ma brand ambassador, is what I
like to think of myself as.Okay, I represent all my brands,
you know, like Lavac and Godsis a brand, the Firebirds brand,
(37:37):
you know, belfour brand, allbrands. That's what I was saying.
And now I do is I takethose brands and I put them on the
largest item of my own, whichis my body, and I walk around
with them so that people have tonotice them. I learned that from Elevation
ten thousand. If you want tobe they taught to you that. Yeah,
(37:58):
they're like, they're like, youshould ran a billboard. I was
like, or they're like, good, call your back, you know,
I just imagine Elevation ten thousands like, no, no, no, leavan,
guys. We like the exact sizeboth of you are at right now.
Guys, you have a massive backlevac you are also very strong.
If you lose any type of mass, the message really lost when you elevate
your brand. I don't think that'sreal advice that'd give you, but they
(38:20):
really can help you elevate your brand. Whatever you are, small business or
medium business. You're looking to promotean event, maybe you're looking to start
your own sports team somewhere across upstateNew York and more, Elevation ten thousand
wants to help you. Maybe you'rejust struggling with social media. Maybe you're
like, what is Instagram? ShouldI be on TikTok? How do I
find a new audience? Elevation tenthousands can help you figure out what your
(38:40):
business might have some weaknesses on,or where you can find some new money.
It starts with finding that new audience. Elevation can help you. Elevation
ten thousand will elevate your brand today. Absolutely, don't miss out elevate your
brand elevation ten k dot com.You will appreciate that we've sent you there.
It'll make all the difference. Iwant to talk about a mistake I
(39:01):
made, okay, involving the playof the day the Swedes does not involve
Sweden, but I'm embarrassed about whathappened yesterday involving some late night parlaying by
me. Oh hey, now that'sgoing up next Fox Sports Ready for ninety
five, nine and nine eighty.It's love acking Guz on the voice of
the Capitol Regions sports Fan Fox Sportsninety five to nine and nine eighty.
(39:24):
Ugh, ow, yesterday's play theday for me, the Pittstry parlay one
short ballpay didn't get the hit forme. But I also did a Knicks
parlay that came through for me andtook it care of me, So I
was all right. It wasn't bad. It was it could have been worse,
(39:44):
you know. I am embarrassed aboutwhat happened last night. I'm embarrassed
about what happened. I will revealit on the air now so you knew
my parlay I had last night.I had just three heavy favorites. I
had the Dodgers, I had theRangers, and I had the Yankees.
The Yankees rolled, as we've talkedabout in the show today, Dodgers rolled.
(40:05):
Rangers are winning in the seventh andagainst the Oakland Athletics at home.
Done deal, it's over. Theyblew the game to the Oakland A's.
But here's what I find even moreembarrassing. Yes, I probably should have
known better to just bet three favoritesagainst bad teams. And I even said
it on the air. You cango back and listen. I said about
the Guardian White Sox game that Ithought you liked at one point, and
(40:27):
I was like, I get nervousabout these games with indivision teams because just
math will tell you some of thesethey're gonna take at some point. The
NFL is a really good example ofthat, especially with underdog home teams.
But here's what really embarrassed me.During the game, I decided to live
wager, Like you know, whatMy bets are looking good because the Rangers
and A's are in a tight game. I'm just gonna double down. You
(40:51):
heard me say yesterday to burn orburn or going down with this ship or
we're gonna watch it happen. SoI'm all excited. I got the Yankees
are doing well well. I'm gonnatake the Rangers with it. I believe
is a good price. And thenI see it sitting right there. The
Dodgers are up six nothing and thosedummies on this app put them at minus
one eighty during the game, andI'm like, oh my god, this
(41:14):
is it the jackpot. You gottabe kidding me. I found a glitch
in a sports betting app. Ican't. I started texting people. I
had the text ready to go toULVAC. I'm like, I found it.
I found a glitch, so boom, I hammered down the Dodgers baby
minus one eighty. Those dummies theyscrewed it up. So I'm hammering everybody.
I'm like, guys, look atthis, get on this app quick.
(41:35):
The numbers wrong. DJ, oneof my friends in one of those
apps, politely said, guys,you bet tomorrow's game. Oh no,
I couldn't believe it. I wasstunned because they took the number off the
board because it was six nothing andso high, and it was originally minus
one seventy for that game. Somy parlays that says one seventy see one
(41:58):
eighty. I immediately took back mymoney. I cashed it right out.
It was even. But there's awarning there for everyone. Make sure you
know what you're hitting before you hitthe butt. That's why we love rivers.
Just walk up even you know attimes if you're at the Kiaosa Rivers,
make sure you're hitting the right button. Man that. Yeah, well
(42:22):
I did that. What was thatwhen you could first bet there? I
did the I had Brooks Keptka andI bet them a year later to win
to win the Masters or something oror the US Open, I think is
what it was. I think Icashed on something on the Masters, and
then I bet brooks Kepta to winthe US Open. But I did a
year later. That was awesome,remember that very well. I put it
(42:43):
on my fridge and I left ithere the whole time. And then he
got hurt. So got hurt.It didn't even matter. Uh no,
we did. I've been there donethat. It's it's it's embarrassing. Thank
you for sharing with the class.Now we all know, you know now
we we've all done it. Ifeel strong about my wager today though,
Okay, I feel good. Andby the way, Cardinal McCarthy usually gives
us grief. We always appreciate hiswork, but he gives us a grief
(43:05):
when we don't take an event happeningthat night, especially during a weekday,
like if it's a Friday, wetalk Saturday and Sunday. That's fine.
But I'm making a Master's play rightnow, and maybe you will tell me
on this play. I have atwo pick parlay for this year's Masters that
tease off tomorrow. Our boss Howard'sa big golf and Big Al's a big
golf. And you listening, here'show you make money on the Masters.
(43:29):
You want to parlay these two guys, the favorite Scotty Scheffler in Sam Burns.
So Sam Burns is plus five hundredfor the top ten, Scotty Scheffler's
minus two hundred for the top ten. That gives you plus eight hundred,
So eight to one odds for Burnsand Scheffler to both make the top ten.
Why did I pick those two?Well, both of those guys have
(43:50):
kids on the way. I'm goingwith the pregnant father soon to be baby
on the way. Focus. Wait, the father's pregnant. It's a wee
thing. Here's a week thing.People don't believe that it's a wee thing.
I used to tell people my wifeand I are pregnant. We that's
like a wee thing when it happens. But when the dad is expecting,
they got laser focus. You gotthe dad fact. You know you have
(44:12):
dad strength, dad factor. Nowwhen the baby comes, you lose all
focus, lose all sense of timeand sleep. But pre baby, so
the expecting fathers Sam Burns and ScottieScheffler plus eight hundred top ten. That's
the dad parlay. You got theYankee parley, the pin straight parlay,
a dad parlay for me for thisyear's Master. But see, you kind
of have to do the Masters todaybecause by the time we're on a lot
(44:32):
of the guys will already of teedoff. Yeah, so that's fine.
I'm definitely so Scheffler Kapka ram I'lldo at rom I like call him ram
all all to win various amounts thoseare my favorite guys to watch, which
with golf odds, someone gonna belike, why is he picking all of
then win? Well, you getsix to one, eight to one,
(44:52):
one of those three hits is gonnabenefit and go in your favorite. But
Tonight's play of the day thanks toMohawks, Chevrolet kad Let's drive the block
Chevy. But they always go outof the way. You please you.
I'm digging the pin stripe parlay.I missed it by one last night.
Vallpay didn't get a hit. Everybodyelse took care of me. He's not
gonna go back to back games nothit. Yankees money line, Vultpaid ahead
(45:15):
the Brettman Marcus Strowman, five plusstrikeouts, that's the off strikeout line.
Five plus strikeouts hit for Volpay,Yankees win plus two thirty five. That's
my that's my play of the day. Mohawk Chevy. There you know I
was hoping you're gonna play and maybeit'll come. I told you this week
I was gonna give you a GunnerHenderson home run at some point, not
(45:37):
tonight. Jackson Holiday is the story. Red Sox fans at one point this
week, get ready for that oneLavack's got his pin strip parlay Jackson Hollow
you know what, not tonight,Not tonight, don't get you, don't
get greedy, be responsible tonight,wager responsibly. I might tweet out to
the cardinal and to you if Iget a change of heart here by seven
o'clock, it might go crazy.With Jackson Holiday. I'm so excited for
(46:00):
him. I don't even know whohe is. Matt Holiday Son is already
in the majors, the number oneprospect in baseball. I'm Hackleberry. That's
Doc Holiday. It's a better holidayright there. Twenty years old? Did
I tell you about the Buster onlytweet? Ye? Today, I didn't
even tell you. You mean totell me about this. I haven't even
teasing me about bust Holiday. Soin two thoy thirteen, okay, Buster
(46:22):
only tweeted this out. In twentythirteen, he said, Matt Holliday's Sun
Future All Star. Someone wrote theBuster Buster. Don't you think that's a
little too soon? He's nine goesNope. I saw the kids swing.
Oh talking about Jackson Holiday. That'snot a Buster thing to do. He's
not a he's not a you know, take those grandiose swings like that.
(46:45):
The hot takes not really his thing, but listen, good, good,
good for you guys. Finally ateam that's decent. Dad's moms across the
Capitol region is heard buster only callingnine year old is a future Major League
Baseball All Star. And now allof a sudden, those swings at Colony
Little League are getting a little,a little stronger. Old he's out there
scouting out the next one. Whocould it be? People may not remember
(47:07):
this, but I almost had LeeSteinberg ready to just sign Rex pre birth.
I was I was your agent toget an agent, Yes, and
it was. It was. Iwas like, listen, I just want
to well, you know what we'redealing with here. Sure he's got stubby
legs, but he's six three,he's a he's a D three athlete.
Mom, she's a she's a worldclass volleyball player. Do you two Yeah,
(47:27):
tall, six foot both of them, both of them well over six
feet, both of them, alittle little timid. You can push them
around a little bit. It's perfect. And he was like, I'll be
in the I'll be in the waitingroom. Yes, we'll find the hospital.
It is a great line. We'llfind the hospital. Got that done
for you. This is gonna justkill you. The odds are out for
next year's March Madness to win itAll in twenty twenty five. Okay,
(47:52):
we play this game. You know, I like playing this game, but
I will say this, it feelslike there's no short odds, so it's
reasonable. The rainbow the more,you know, should be playing over this
segment of play the day. Youknow, this is the hardest of all
the sports that I follow to dobecause so much changes with the transfer portal
and all that stuff. So incomparison to pro sports, the roster that
(48:14):
you're going to see for these teams, I have no clue because of the
NBA draft and everything else. Who'sactually get me on the team. So
you really just betting the brand here. But with all that being said,
I would say Yukon is still thefavorite. Yeah, Yukon is tied as
the favorite plus one thousand, soten to one. Okay, uh gosh,
Okay, most sports, you'd probablywho's number two? No, they're
(48:38):
tied with. Oh, they're tiedwith I thought you just said number one.
We got two for each of these, right, at least two some
of the three. I would guessit's not Kentucky because Caliperry left. It's
not Carolina because Armando Baycott left.I guess the only other blue blood I
would pick here. I would guessDuke would be the other one. Correct
(48:58):
one. And they have the numberone player in the car tree, h
Cooper Flag I believe his name is. Yeah, look at you. North
Carolina mentioned they're tied for second plusfourteen hundred. Is Kansas gonna be the
other one? Yeah? But there'sone more in there too. Three teams
tied for second, Kansas Carolina.You were all over this team this year,
(49:22):
Houston. Yep, yep. That'sactually pretty impressive for the Houston program
to be up that high with thosetrue blue bloods. That number you said
it was fourteen. Yep. Nowwe go sixteen, the third place of
two teams tied. You're not gettingthese ones perdue. No, they're they're
tied for six right at thirty toone. No, I would put it
here if this team's at sixteen toone or like anywhere between. I hope
(49:45):
this team is actually not at sixteento one. Is Gonzaga here? No,
they are tied for fifth at twentyfive to one. I always wondering
about one year Gonzaga breaks through andsomeone says, you got him at twenty
five to one. Forty bucks winsyou a grand Isn't that just worth it?
At some point? Uh? Youknow what we'll do. Kentucky.
No, Kentucky is tied for fourthat twenty to one with Baylor. You
(50:09):
heard that story about Baylor years agowhere a certain casino listed them at twenty
to one, and actually, actuallyneither are twenty to one. It was
two hundred to one and they hadto honor the ticket. Oh it's here
in upstate New York, not herein the Capitol region. The I missed
one school of all those teams Ijust listed off there, all right,
(50:30):
I don't know, give me thelast one. First, you got Yukon
Duker tied for ten to one,second place, Kansas, Houston, North
Carolina fourteen to one, second place, Arizona and Alabama plus sixteen to one,
Kentucky, Baylor twenty to one,Iowa stayed, Gonzaga, Auburn twenty
five to one, and then Purduein Arkansas thirty to one. The only
(50:52):
one I would touch on that entirething right now. In early April's Gonzaga.
That's it, Duke. Yeah,you know, I'm a yukon about
you get three to one? Idon't know what that is. Hurdly gonna
jump? Are you gonna have toplay? I can't. I can't bet
on you? Kind of well?How is Arkansas Arkasas all the way up
here because of Calipari? Right?Of course? Yeah? Is Syracuse on
the list? Not on this listthat I'm looking at that it's hurtful.
(51:14):
No, well, I mean theyalso aren't good, also hurtful. We're
gonna have a Syracuse a lumjeris bythe way, twenty minutes. Alex Sibbons
Jones is in twenty fire Wolves fansagain, one more reminder you didn't miss
it. It's coming up in twentyminutes. Alex Simmons, Denver and Syracuse
will join us. Wow, thisis there's so many teams. Hold on,
I'm going through them all trying tofind you. Rutgers thirty five to
(51:36):
one, little local. I gottapause you on Rutgers there for a second
because someone just heard that and thoughtyou might have missed red Rutgers. Rutgers
is it thirty five to one?Rutgers has two five star players coming to
Rutgers next season, not not likefive players. I said that correctly,
five star players are going to Rutgers. How in the world did that happen.
(52:00):
Rutgers is a top five recruiting classthis year in college basketball, so
that's year of twenty twenty four,twenty twenty five. So Rutgers at thirty
five to one. I know,I said Gonzaga, but that might be
for the casual fan not realizing whyRutgers is that high. Yeah, I'm
sorry to do this to you,but I do not see Syracuse in this
list. Good, bigger payoff andall. I mean it goes down to
(52:23):
fifty to one. You're telling themI can get Syracuse at one hundred and
one if I get out of statehere for a future wager. One hundred
dollars to one hundred and one isten g's I mean, unless I'm looking
past them, which everyone seems todo. I did try to convince you
earlier this year that wake Forest atone hundred and twenty five to one in
(52:44):
February was the magic bet. Theydidn't make the tournament. They could have
made a run like NC State ifthey were in the tournament. I stopped
listening to you, A boy alot of things. You know, I
can't trust you anymore. You know, you know who he used to be
when it comes to this stuff anymore. It's just, you know, it's
sad. It's it's it's it is. It's sad, and I'm sad that
(53:06):
you would do these things to thesepeople, including me. All right,
that is your play of the daycoming up. Geez, I don't even
know we have coming up anymore.We have a certain story you texted me
about an NFL player and you justwrote like breakfast or the morning. I
think I know where we're going,but I'm kind of concerned here now our
number three something about breakfast. Ijust got to assume they got his name
(53:29):
wrong. I made it mad.That's gotta be what happened here. It
happens all the time at those places. That's next right here. Fox Sports
Radio, ninety five, nine andnine eighty
