(00:26):
Radio. Happy tax Day, America. Hi yoursa USA. No taxation without
representation. God, that must havenot been a good chance back then.
I mean it didn't. I don'tthink it careds just get it out.
Plus we're we're pretty represented. Soyeah, I don't know if that was

(00:49):
the I mean, when I thinkabout taxes, I think it t I
don't even know if that reference worksanymore. Gre anybody who's ever read a
history book. Yeah, I don'tthink it's simple as that though back then,
right, stuff had to change sincem Yeah, we believe we have
power. Now. Did you seethe humble brag from Cuban Mark Cuban two
hundred and eighty eight million? Yeah? Yeah, did you pay your taxes

(01:10):
today? Mark? I'm proud topay the two hundred eighty eight million.
I was like, bro, ifI could pay two under eight million,
I probably gone, like I'd belike, I don't know, like I
would turn it into like whatever weirdcroner pays so Slovakians because I would.
I would probably start my own countrylike something, and just I'd be over

(01:32):
here like I don't pay taxes here, but you all do. Let's see
internet say weird flex But okay,yeah, I mean, because that's what
I was thinking about. I waslike, you, you had to pay
more taxes than the net worth ofeveryone I know, everyone I know in
person, right, Like I don'tknow. I know some people who got
a couple of comments laying around,but I don't know anybody who's paying who

(01:55):
has two hundred plus mil. Isit cool to pay two hundred and eighty
eight million? I think if youcan, right, I feel like I
want to pay less. No,yeah, I'm saying, but but I
think if you could, like likeif you you ever, I like,
it's almost like going to expensive restaurantwhen somebody picks up the tab. It's
like, damn, good for you. That's part of me. It's like,

(02:16):
damn two eighty eight. Well howabout you got in the bag,
buddy, good for you. Well, he would paid more this year because
he sold a bunch of the abunch of the team. Yeah, that's
that's probably more so. And youknow what, I will say, it's
a cool flex that if you canjust fork over two hundred and eighty eight
million dollars, like maybe somebody doingit for four hundred bucks or two hundred

(02:36):
bucks or a fout. Yeah,I guess it is kind of cool.
After COVID, I screwed everything upand I had to pay six grand the
one year woof I dude, Icried like I was, Like I was
an emotional mess. I had toput it on like a credit card and
pay it off like I had to, you know what I mean? Like
I was an emotional wreck over sixground. This guy's like, yeah,

(02:57):
I just dropped two eighty eight mil. What what you're gonna do? What
you're gonna do? What you what'syour presidential candidate paying? Huh? Crazy
man? We are alive in theGT Toy studio that's toys with a Z
oh. I just now I'm almostcrying because over that, like that's so
much money to give back to thegovernment for no reason. It's it's in
the passle back here. They can'thurt you. This year did great,

(03:22):
So the nixt one locked up thetwo seed in the East, and I
I it's over time, gutty victoryover a bulls team. Neither you know,
neither team really needed it. Nicks, if they wanted to be the
second seed over the third seed,had to have it. But still I

(03:44):
have I have vacillated on this.I have back and forth. I'm swaying,
I'm rocking on how I feel aboutthe outcome of this game. Got
you know, my belief is there'sa process style wrecking in the bottom seating
of the East, and obviously theplay in games have to all factor in

(04:08):
the way they're supposed to factor in. But being the two seed, it
feels really really likely that you're gonnaget the seventy six ers. Like it
just feels like you're getting the seventysix ers in the first round of the
playoffs, and they are, inmy opinion, the wrecking ball. They're
the one that can come through fromthat play in scenario and pull a Miami

(04:30):
Heat and go all the way.Oh by the way, the Miami heater
down there, and they always playyou tough too. You're getting one of
those two teams for the Knicks.So like, I love teams that play
to win no matter what. ButI's like, oh great, all I
wanted was seventy six ers Boston forthe first round. It's all I wanted.
So what am I gonna get?Because the car the sports karma police

(04:51):
seventy six or next for the firstround. Whether it's the Karma Police or
just a time where we say sportsare weird, this is an example of
it. Because if you told Levakand I, then in October of twenty
twenty three, by the time Levackand I came on the Monday Show when
the NBA regular season concluded that atthe end of this whole thing, Hey,

(05:15):
the Knicks are gonna be here onFox Sports ninety five, nine to
nine eighty, I'd be thrilled,and we are. And they're gonna win
fifty games what Yeah? And they'regonna be the number two seed in the
East. What And they might haveMVP candidate Jalen Brunton is gonna play that
great? How But with all thosethings being true, fifty win, season,
two seed in the East, MVPcandidate in Brunson, You're both gonna

(05:40):
come on the air and meet concernedbut God, we gotta get what what
happened? What? This is anexample of it, because Knicks fans,
if we gave you those three things, you would think it's a successful season.
The franchise is heading in the rightdirection. You might have a chance
for our conference finals. Is atwo seed, you should be one of
the two teams to be in theconference finals, and all those things could
still be true. But Philly's abad matchup now. Historically in sports,

(06:03):
the two seeds shouldn't be worried aboutthe seven. The seven should be worried
about the two because they're the betterteam. But Philly pieced together with the
NBAT injury, New York's dealing withinjuries. New York hasn't been healthy the
last six weeks, So Philly isa way tougher matchup than the Heat.
Philly believes they can win the NBAfinals. Philly believes they can win the

(06:24):
East. They probably believe they've underachieved. They got rid of Doc Rivers.
They think now's the time to doit and hasn't been sett in Stone yet.
Knicks fan should still feel confident,yeah, but that confidence can be
altered if it is the Sixers inthe opening round matchup. Well, you
know, so, I believe thatwhen they play their game, if this

(06:45):
roster goes out right, Julius Radelsgone. We know that he's not playing
this year. He's done. ButOganoby's there. Jalen Brunson dropped forty again
last night. Josh Hart's been great. Dante DiVincenzo is a three point assassin.
Like the big eyes under the nethave been handled some business. I
feel as though they are talented enoughto beat anyone in the East and go

(07:10):
fight dever. But obviously my issueis my mouth, as most of you
have probably been saying for years.When you call, like when you call
for it, you're like, yeah, I want seventy six years ago first
round upset the Boss and Celtics outof hystericle, and all of a sudden

(07:32):
you look at you like, waita minute. You go, beautiful mind,
you take the red yarn off theCeltics four leaf clover, you bring
it down, you put it onthe Knicks blue and orange basketball, and
you're like, oh not God.But again, it's not done. You
know listen, I mean played.I do I think the nixt I think

(07:54):
they can beat anybody. I really, I really do I just the way
they play and more important, theythink they can beat anybody. I loved,
loved, loves TIB's things like TIBswent herm Edwards on everybody like you
know, do you ever think about, you know, laying off to get
the better see the whatever the objectis winning, you put everything you have

(08:16):
into winning. I love that.That's what I want. Keep going win
because the only thing that would beworse than taking your foot off the gas
losing so that you can get yourselfsome some ady pacers in your future is
that the pacers look up and go, oh, really now they whax you

(08:39):
or worse, seventy six ers aheat look around and go, oh,
if we get to them, theyare scared, they are shook, and
now you're more confident. So thisis the way you do it. You
go bulldozer straight through, you go. You make sure as many games are
played a massive square garden is humanlypossible, and make sure that you win
them all. This will be probablya storyline you and I talk about from

(09:00):
this Monday today lead off of theshow all the way to he'll tip off
on Saturday. Whether it is thisSixers are the heat, This is a
season this is a playoff stretch wherethat dark cloud of we can call it
hate, negativity, lack of success, lack of confidence that has been surrounding
the Knicks organization. I would sayfor the last twenty five years, but

(09:22):
some Knicks fans can go further backthan that, because it feels like since
that lockout ninety nine NBA Finals run. The nineties were a great time,
but some Knicks fans would say thisfranchise should have been better since the start,
like the whole time, they shouldalways be a contenter because they're a
New York team that if you're ableto beat Philly or you're able to beat
Miami, who on the East lastseason. Now, all of a sudden,

(09:43):
this negativity being cynical about oh sameold Knicks or choking this can slowly
start getting chipped away at a littlebit. And I remember having that same
take about the playoffs last season,and a little bit has been taken away.
Like going into the last season's postseason, the Knicks confidence started to rise
and Miami out played him in thesemis of the Eastern Conference. Miami got

(10:05):
to the NBA Finals. But thisis a different team with more additions and
aggressive ownership and aggressive management. Wearen't doing the negativity about the Knicks and
how bad fans are getting thrown outand Phil Jackson and everything else you've dealt
with in the pass involve This canbe if they knock off Philly, if
they knock off Miami, we arereally having a discussion if can they win
the NBA Eastern Conference to get toan NBA Finals. I want to have

(10:30):
that now, Uh, two seedsawesome. To your point about the negativity,
it wasn't. It wasn't right afterviewing. I think it was when
Allen Houston was done. I thinka lot of because I remember the the
last time it was like start tofinish, true appointment television or radio for
me with the Knicks was you know, the nineties. It was it was

(10:50):
that team, that the way theyplayed, and they were in every game
and it was you know, ifthey were in the news, it was
usually for the right reason, withexception a few minor skirm but like after
that, you know, even youknow, Mellow did what he could do
with what he was given, andGod bless him for wanting to be here.
But like insanity and injuries and MarkStottemeier are doing wine bass like.

(11:13):
It never felt like the story waswhat was going on in the basketball court?
You know what, what's what?Washed up? Superstar? Can the
Knicks overpay? Now? Was wasthe story? This is a team built
two win Now, this is ateam. This is a team that's something
you look across, look across alot of sports, especially the NBA.
You can't say that about every groupof players wearing the same jersey. This

(11:35):
is a team. They play likea team, and they're gonna have their
work cutout for him, for sure, But there's there's something to that.
That's that I love anyway, thefact that you could be the two seed
in the East and we've already comeup with a constructed argument for them to
be underdogs in the first round,and that's kind of who they are.

(11:58):
You're envy is a slightly undersized pointguard, and that's who they are.
They're they're unassuming, but you betterpack a lunch because they ain't going nowhere
an undersized guard. A team that, oh, you're not really superstars,
but you're pretty close to will addyou a bench of players are like,
well, you're nice players, butI don't know if you can be that
good A franchise overall, it's like, hey, this is successful enough,

(12:22):
even I just did it a fewminutes to go, well, you know
what, you guys are the twocedon fifty games. That's a great season.
It has been like that for allthose things. The bar can be
raised, it can be changed.Knicks fans are obviously going to care about
the Sixers heat game because that caninfluence the series in the entire Eastern Conference.
But you know what, today couldbe a day to be really happy
if you're a Knicks fan. Youcan change your mindset on Saturday. You've

(12:43):
got five days to enjoy this.Think about what this season has been.
The franchise is going in the rightdirection. It's been a long time since
you could say that about the Knicks. Really, the future is bright in
New York. You've got a postseasonstretch on the way, which is something
gets super excited about. And hereyou go. It's all in front of

(13:03):
you now. But think about thistoo, like you you kind of I
almost want to say that you youbacked him up a little bit because we
knew they were headed in the rightdirection this season, but we all thought
they were a superstar away. Like, okay, you Finally, I don't
know who Leon Rose is. Idon't know if he's a real person.

(13:26):
You know, he could be theall powerful odds behind a mask. I
don't know. But he's doing agood job and he's keeping things focused on
the way they we focused on.Jalen Brunton is the right guy. Josh
Hart's depth, Dante DiVincenzo works well. Julius Randall is playing in a different
level with this team. Offense isa little clunkier, doesn't have that same
run and gun fluidity that it haswithout him. But you could see him

(13:48):
being that all star caliber player again. Well, now all of a sudden,
you give me one more, giveme something to go with it,
like you know me, I thoughtlike, hey can we steal it embiid?
He steal in Beid to be thebig out there, put it on
bea together with everybody else out there. Dear God, that's a that's a
that's a whoopings, that's a whoopingswaiting to happen. So you know,
I was in all This year wassupposed to be the you know, give

(14:11):
me one more? This year isthe now turn into Hey, you're you're
the two seed. There's only oneteam in the Eastern Conference who performed better
than you in the regular season andtheir world beaten Celtics team sixty four wins.
This, this is good. Andagain you didn't give there's no bulletin

(14:33):
boar material out there for anybody.You didn't lay up and take it,
take it easy against the Bulls becauseyou didn't want a piece of the heat
of the or the seventy six ers. You didn't say, hey, pacers
were coming for you. You literallysaid, no, it's a it's it's
a four period game. We're gonnaplay and we're gonna try and win.
We're gonna win overtime, and nowwe're gonna take a little rest and oh,

(14:56):
with any luck, just keep ondancing, baby, keep it moving
up the floor, because there's there'sgood teams ahead of you, but nobody
with a bang up onto compo.You remember and be it's still not at
full speed. Jimmy Butler's a yearolder. Celtics are overrated. Like there's

(15:16):
a lot, there's a lot ahead, there's a lot ahead. I'm excited.
I'm excited for the for the NBApostseason, and we will wait and
see who wins the seven eight matchup, which would Wednesday night? Right?
I think Eastern Conference is Wednesday,Western Conference tomorrow, all right, and
then whoever wins that, Welcome toMadison Square Garden. You're taking on the

(15:37):
Knicks. Speaking of New York teams, how about how about one baseball team
that everybody wrote off starting to wakeup? Looks pretty good. One baseball
team that has no issues. Ikind of see the brewing of an issue.

(21:48):
See that scary moment earlier today inthe Patriots Day game between the Red
Sox and the Guardians, didn't involvesomeone who throughout the first pitch, That's
That's what I'm talking about. No, well, I didn't even to see
that. This was Tyler O'Neill wascoming into make a play and Raphaeld Devers
was going back and Devers smacks hisback of his head and new uh O'Neill's

(22:11):
face. O'Neill had to leave thegame for a little at least for a
little bit. Thanks well. PatriotsDay h drama. Bloody, he says,
bloody. He just days a coolidea. Yeah, the idea of
the afternoon baseball game, the BostonMarathon, how it connects with Boston,
very unique to them. The earlystart time. I think I'm im just

(22:32):
thinking. I think kids in thearea in Massachusets get the day all from
school too. It's like a holidaythere in the Boston. By the way,
if you're looking for Presidents Day coverage, you tuned in Hope and it's
lev ag and guys. By theway, Red Sox fans, if you're
getting introduced to us, Hello andwelcome. Oh, no worry. The
Red Sox didn't show up in thatgame either. Six nothing on guard.
The Guardians won that thing. Thefirst pitch, I was talking. I

(22:53):
was gronk throughout the first pitch.Oh, you spiked us right into the
ground. That's right, you didthat too, but not on purpose.
I threw a strike to the plate. Where is Jesse mack William strike?
What about when you threw into PeteRose that was bounced and it was a
horrible throw. Do you now wantto say that you spike? You gronked

(23:14):
it, spike. I am embarrassedabout the Pete Rose first pitch that was
spiked. Pete Rose said, allyou gotta do is not bounce it.
I bounced it so fast, andimagine Pete Rose being come on. I
spent three hours of Pete Rose andI embarrassed him, and I walked out
now I did practice for the ValleyCats, and our former intern of No
No No for former Sports still SportsIllustrated writer Kevin Sweeney, went outside and

(23:40):
just threw balls at him for agood ten minutes to warm up the shoulder.
So Kevin saw a lot of myearly pitches that the way helpful.
I mean, have to call youcharge to make sure that's clean. It
doesn't work here, you haven't.We don't need that. We don't need
that coming out of the old closetthere, buddy. All right, So

(24:03):
listen. The the Mets were writtenoff by everyone to start this season,
including Mets fan. I I notme, not me. I told you
there's just too much talent for them, the full go away. But they're
they're on something now. Now they'removing because they've won their last three series,

(24:25):
right and I say it all thetime, you don't need to sweep.
You need to win series. Andthese are series against the Reds,
the Braves who are should beat themall the time. And one of those
wins against the Braves was sixteen tofour, and the Royals, who have
been playing lights out baseball this year. So you're you've won your last three
series, you're headed in the rightdirection. I feel very good about the

(24:48):
Mets. I think the Mets aregoing to be relevant all season, and
that's and I think that's all youcan ask for, especially if you're hoping
to keep Pete Alonzo and Edwin dthat, like, as a matter of
fact, if they if they playany better than playing right now, and
they still trade the popular players.Steve Cohen is being evil, like he's

(25:10):
just like, all right, youguys want I'm gonna tear all your expectations
down so that everything we do rightfrom here on out, you're gonna love
it. That's that's all there isto it, right, I mean,
wouldn't it depend on the offer?You get an offer at the trade deadline,
and you're just like, you see, this is the second time you've

(25:30):
done this this month to me,where you have this wonderful setup to the
segment. You're giving Mets fans hope, you're giving them credit. You're saying
the team's playing well. If you'relistening along like you probably I can imagine
our friend Tom Nulty and other peoplewho work out while they're listening to the
show, and you're like, allright, he's giving them And then all
of a sudden at the end,they're like, trade away all the players?

(25:51):
Hey, what what was that?Well? Huh, isn't that the
real Like, if you're if you'rea Mets fan this year, didn't you
come into this season knowing that youhad already punted the next season? So
isn't the real goal to keep PeteAlonzo? To play well enough to keep
Pee Alonzo? Isn't that the realgoal this year? I'm confused now because
I thought I think met fan doesn'tknow the answer to that question. That's

(26:15):
That's what I'm gonna land on here, because oh, I'm sorry Mets fans.
Sometimes when you score more points orruns or whatever than your opponent,
you win. If you win enough, you can go to the postseason.
If you win that you're a champion. No, that's not That's not what
I meant by that comments sometimes youget to win it all not what I

(26:36):
meant by that. What I meantby that was that met Fan looks at
this season. There was one pointwhere people thought, Okay, the Mets
want to be bad enough that theycan trade Pete Alonzo. And then there
was another part of the met fansthat's like, Okay, let's be in
contention to use everything we can outof Pete Alonzo, or maybe the third
one is like, hey, ifwe're really, really good, maybe Pete

(26:56):
Alonzo will want to come back andwe've got a really rich owner. Like
there's three scenario they can play.Honestly, they're the only three scenarios that
can play out. He leaves,he comes back, or you trade him.
But right now they are still incontention. If they're playing well because
of an expanded postseason, maybe theywill find a way in in comparison to
other years, whether you're chasing afterthe pennant or you're chasing after one wild

(27:17):
card bid, they're fine right now. It do you ever work in an
office where somebody really popular in theoffice doesn't perform all that well all the
time, and the boss literally saysthat, like to you or whoever it
goes, if you want to keepyour boy here, he better step his
game up. We need more ofthem. I'll get rid of him if
he's not. If he's not pullinghis way, everybody's everybody's had that at

(27:41):
some point in some way, maybenot that diraged whatever. Maybe maybe maybe
you're the one that, like yourbuddy came you awa, Hey, bro,
I'm pulling for you, but yougot to step your game up or
you're out of here. I thinkit's like that with a slight skew,
like if I'm Steve Cowen. I'mnot gonna say this out loud, but
I want that message out there somewhere. Hey, guys, you have two

(28:06):
choices. You want to keep thepolar Bear play well. If you don't
play like crap, I'm not tradinghim. You are. You can decide
whether or not Pete Alonzo stays inthe Mets organization by the way you perform,
because when it comes to it,if he plays to the level that
we expect him to play to,Steve Cone can pay him, and that's

(28:27):
Verlander and Schures are off the books. I think if next year, right,
yeah, so that if you wanthim, go play well and they're
playing well, but if you don't, go play like Dodo, or he
can play like Dodo and then we'llget rid of one or the other.
The price that Alonso could ask for, depending on how this shakes out over

(28:49):
the next few months and what teamis willing to get that price to be
paid for, all will obviously playa factor, like if you get a
team like, and I'm just gonnathrow names out here, maybe Kansas City
somehow still in the mix, andthey see an opening for the Central You
mentioned the Royals, Like, look, they're good Baltimore because of how strong
the farm system is. Maybe NewYork looks. Maybe New York looks at

(29:12):
that and says, hey, they'repounding teams in Triple A. Maybe we
can get better for the future.And the Oriels are gonna make a run
in it. There are Arizona,they won the National League last year.
Pittsburgh, they got a ton ofpicks. There could be a bid that's
too good to pass on. ButI think you and I both agree on
this. If New York is trulyin contention, like and I'm talking like
into the deep summer, July andAugust. More so, should rephrase that

(29:36):
June in July because the deadline's inJuly, which they're gonna push that back
at some point. Yeah, thatlike if they're within a handful of games,
or they're in the wild card,the top of the heat, like
they're gonna roll with Alonso. Butif I think I think the match numbers
five, what also is gonna beall like Hey, are you are you
gonna sign or not? Like,if you're gonna sign a fair number,
do we get a real chance tosign it? Okay, then you can

(29:57):
say he won't answer that. Iwould shocked if he answers it like the
real chance. I don't need toknow what the number is. Are you
if if we pay the same somebodyelse pays you, you stay in?
Uh? Do you think Judge hadthat same thing with the Yankees? I
don't know if any free agent doesthat like Harper trade. As a player,

(30:17):
I will as an agent, I'mlike, eh, lock it up.
But as a player, I'll belike I would go, good cop,
back up all day long. Hey, listen, this is where I
want to be. Scott does thatfor me. That's his job. He
handles all that numbers and all thatstuff. This is where I want to
be. You give me a reasonto be here. That's probably this is
probably where I won't be. Okay, cool said if if Alonzo got to

(30:38):
the postseason, it'd be like,you know what, here was my price.
Now I just had a home runin the NLDS. All that stuff
can change, just like judged itto the Yankees. I mean, that's
that's exactly what he had the MVPyear, record breaking year. Here's your
money problem is not the answer wordhere. But if the Mets can catch
the Braves in the Phillies, they'renot that far back again, fifteen games

(31:02):
into this season. But boy,could there be a stretch in May or
early June where the Mets are infirst place of the NA least and then
all of a sudden it's like SteveCohen's the ground. Like, you know,
I could trade for somebody, right, you know I could one hundred
per I mean again, I wouldYou know? That changes the ped Aalzzo

(31:23):
conversation a different way. So thenthe ped Alonzo conversation goes, Hey,
look if I bring all all theother pieces I need in use him to
get this World Series this year.If he leaves, so be it I
got a World Series? Or ifI got everything else I need? Humhm,
maybe he helps me get a littlemore. It's a whole other animal.

(31:44):
But I just, you know,I don't mean to bring up the
pedal Alonzo thing every time. Itjust it seems to scare you. I
think that's fun for me. There'sa party that's like, you know,
if the Mets do suck Baltimore.He did mention them right. They could
be in the mixed selfish, theycould want them, but there they're They're
very fascinating. And not just becausethey're a New York team. You look
at all thirty Major League Baseball teamsgoing into the summer. We're in the

(32:07):
spring, but going into the summer, they have the most intriguing storyline of
teams that are playing well right nowof what does the future look like?
Nobody unless at woffs on Twitter,Fox Sports nine eighty, across the Internet
and Facebook. And if you tellme a team that's more intriguing to the
storyline in the next two months ofwhat in the world are they gonna do

(32:28):
than the Mets, please let meknow, because you know the teams who
are aggressive. The Dodgers are alwaysaggressive, the Rangers are aggressive, the
Yankees are aggressive. All those teamsare gonna make moves to the deadlines.
The guard, I just lose mymid the guard, do you mind Mike
in there? I actually so.I made my I centered my cough so
everyone could hear it. I don'tknow if you can hear it or not.

(32:51):
The guard can't. How much theydrew me off the guard gets the
garden. I know, though,I don't know what the Mets are gonna
do, and there's few if anyteams in baseball that have that same branking,
right, maybe Milwaukee, but Milwaukee'sbeen aggressive, like they haven't traded
off pieces. I guess technically theytrade off course burns. They probably didn't

(33:14):
think they're gonna be in first placeeither. So that's why the met thing
is really interesting, and it's gonnabe every time they win, every time
they speap a team. Don't besurprised, met fit if we keep going
back to that well and back tothat storyline, because it is really interesting
in what you do. And wehaven't hit this point, Levac, we
have not hit the point of aweird story coming from the locker room.

(33:35):
I told you they were for theMets, and especially involved in Alonzo,
and I've told you this for months. Give me the details, because last
fall everyone wanted to blame Alonzo becausehe was the only one left about He's
in a locker room cancer and he'sgot attitude issues. Nobody will okay,
give me an incident. Well,I heard it, I was hearsay.
Well, that's a story. It'sa room. Okay, we'll find out,
because if that stuff plays a factorin this whole different discussions start to

(34:00):
happen. Yeah, I mean,it's it's an interesting time to be a
Mets fan. But I guess,I guess the the over the overlying survival
of fandom. Just look for thebright side of whatever it comes out of
it, because even if you doend up moving them, I mean,
you saw it as as an Oilsfan. You guys got rid of everyone

(34:22):
who would ever touched a baseball,and now look at you got a really
good farm system and a subpar proteintwo and a half back in the East
Comados. The only thing that makesnerves by the Yankees right now is you
can see a difference in urgency whenthey're trying to win a series or when
they won a series. I feellike because even though yesterday went extra innings

(34:45):
and everything like that, I justfeel like there's effort that they put out
there. They want to win everyseries, but once they have a series,
they're kind of like, okay,like it kind of feels that way
because Matthew Bob wants to give mea hard time because I didn't put any
pressure on Judge for for whiff andhitting hitting a garbage fly ball laid against
the Marlins that could have been asweet And I was like, you know,

(35:07):
dude, it's early and and theywon that series. Well, now,
all of a sudden, you losethis one in in x RA innings
and it just it was it wasthey went from looking like a very very
stout professional baseball team to like likeyou did, like a nabin In Costello
bit in that last endea because theylike bobbling the ball just like what it

(35:30):
wasn't there was something wrong all ofa sudden. And I've heard I've heard
some people who are starting to thinkthat Anthony Rizzo may still have some kind
of issue because he does not lookcomfortable. He does not look comfortable at
all. I don't know what happenedwith him. Well you know the concussion,
yeah, but like you would thinkover time it would it feels like

(35:50):
a confidence thing with Rizzo or maybeRizzo just it's just how he looks out
there where it's like, man,you know you got this. Come on,
like if I was a Rizzot team, but come on, you got
it. No, no, don'tdo that. I feel like I'm watching
Tony. I want Tony Roman tocall Anthony Rizzo fielding a baseball Now,
Jim, I don't know. That'show I want, that's how I feel

(36:12):
the real But look the Yankees ifthey won that game. And it is
a very odd sense in baseball whenyou have a lead in an X training
game and you blow the lead inthe next trading game. But let's let's
fact for that in Okay, theygot four losses this season, ones at
X ratings, once at a defendingNational League champion, and once in division.
That's pretty good. I know.That's three. Yeah, the ones,
you know, a regular loss,but like you could make three very

(36:34):
good excuses of like best team inthe National League, not record wise,
but they got to the World Series, an X trading loss and okay,
like you could eat four to two, you could be I said, just
youeople want me to get nervous.I want to see that. I want
to I want to see all gas, no break, That's what I want.
Here's what you got. Four losses, national league defending champion, a

(36:55):
division loss that happens, a playoffteam in the Marlin, and a team
that's the best team in the ALCentral. That's you won and you're twelve
and four, all right, likethere's nothing, no sky is falling,
nothing to ran about. You're reallynit picking, I mean, Yankee fan.
You know, we just came offthe met discussion about like how to
evaluate the season. Yankee fan.Now I'm concerned about you. You guys

(37:17):
can have some nice stuff too,Like this is all good right now for
the Yankee fan. There's only onething that matters, twenty eight. I
mean, that's all that matters.That's all that matters. It's all that
matters. Good. I know youguys don't know what that's like. There's
a ways to go before boo barbecue. I would love some barbecue right now.
There's a ways to go before twentyeight, I know, the Yankee

(37:40):
fan. Look, the AL Eastis still competitive. You want to win
the division. Red Sox are kindof falling off a little bit, but
there's still above five hundred. Thedivision is still the best in baseball.
I know the NL West. Idid that in twenty twenty three. Uh,
there is no argument. This year, I will easy. This is
easy. This year the ALS isby AL East is by far the toughest

(38:01):
division in baseball, not even close. Not for the Yankees. But for
the rest of you, uh listenYankees, Firebirds two, your girlfriend,
two year and more girlfriend. Weall think about the same thing. Rings.

a bunch of them. So they'vebeen there all off, Yeah they have
Oh my good I half all right, all right? First off, I

(44:35):
love Boban, He's the man.Did you see this? This the whole
uh where he purposely missed the shotfor Houston in La. Yes, so
I know some of you're sitting therelike he purposely missed a shot? How
there he whatever? And normally I'mwith you, but this is a meaningless
game. He got a decent lead. Some of he lets him know after

(45:00):
he misses his first three free throw. If he misses two in a row,
the whole uh crowd at Crypto dotcom arena gets free Chick fil A.
They get a Chick fil A sandwich. So it's I was I think
they call it. They call itchick fil A for all. Yeah,

(45:22):
So if an opposing player misses bothfree throws and one one attempts and one,
you know, Cherity Stripe visit ChickenSandwiches for everybody, Chick fil A
for all. Somebody makes him awareof it. He looks like he is
the happiest person on the planet rightthen, like like he's like, so

(45:43):
wait a minute, if I missa one shot in a game where I
think they were up by like tenor so, at that point, everybody's
gonna love me. Everybody gets chickensandwiches, and sure enough, just bricks
it. Everybody goes crazy. Hehe's going crazy, running out like he
ran down the court. If youtook the like if you showed the shot

(46:07):
blacked out, showed the reaction runningback down the court like that dude just
hit a game winner. That dudehit a game winner. No, he
just want everybody checking sandwiches. Ilove it. I love that man so
much. You know, there wasa point about five six years ago that
any chance bobon or is I liketo put the little Syracuse Boban. No,

(46:30):
no, Boban is correct. Butyou knew that anytime something wild,
whether it's the size of his handsor him holding objects, or to the
Toby and Bobie show him and TobiasHarris, anything involving him, I love
and he is a mix down betweenhe was in the John Wick movie.
I didn't live when Andrea the Giantwas as popular and remembered it, but
like this might be how Andre theGiant was a larger than life truly to

(46:53):
that figure. This is one ofthe fun guys to root for in the
NBA. I'm glad he did itand the rock so we didn't have to
hear like they hate gambling tweets oranything else like that too. Well,
and that's what, Yeah, theyall those I've actually Yeah, if if
somehow that cost me a wage orwhatever, maybe I feel different about it.
But like every once in a while, life's just gotta be about the

(47:14):
good, the fun, the thingthat happened. And this is this one
like this, this is just fun. And again the reaction is so clean
and so like, you don't necessarilyget a chicken sandwich man, you're a
cheesyat guy or whatever the hell itis, or goldfish. He doesn't ease
a goldfish. We both now.I don't know he's rolling those endorsements.
There are certain people who go tothose games that root for that, like

(47:36):
especially like the younger fans who like, you know, they know the score,
they know the team. But ifyou're a Clipper fan and the Clippers
are losing and you're gonna walk away, be like I want this, I
want that is those things, andyou know this is the president of the
Firebirds. Those in game promotions arejust as exciting for certain fans than the
actual action on the court ice field. Yeah, and they literally they're there's

(47:57):
I've had people come to me afterlike a thirty point win and go man,
that was great. But I missedMoneyball. Remember that I met a
hell on Earth. That was Moneyball. For those who don't know, let's
let's talk more about buddy. Youand I were just we were just the
onfield host at that point. Wewere doing the afternoon drive show, and
then we were at every home gameand you and I would split because there

(48:21):
was the one microphone. They gaveus two microphones in the beginning, but
you couldn't hear each other, soit just sounded like cockoff for us both
be out there at the same time, so we would split. And then
one of the games and somehow Iended up with it was Moneyball. It
was sponsored by a local bank.It was four on four with a giant

(48:44):
inflated ball, like it's like sevenfoot tall inflatable ball, which took,
by the way forever to fill up. So they'd start filling up way more
than they should because it took foreveryep. And then in a commercial break,
both groups of four would try toget at the ball into the other
group's end zone. They'd started attwenty five. They've go all the way
down the field. Meanwhile, theteam at this point, the Empire are

(49:09):
lined up listening to their head coachat this point, Rob Keef, who
is telling them what the game planis for what's coming up. They have
their backs turn. So there's thesedrunk yahoos are pushing the ball into the
players. So it turns into meoffensive lineman stance just trying to keep it
on, like all try, eightguys trying to push it in there and

(49:30):
me pushing it out. God's oddlyenough, who actually played, you know
defense? Offensive line never went outuntil this. There's only one rule,
do not get it near midline,so like where like the pa is going
on and the scorekeepers and if itgets here, then it's to the table
and go. I remember the onegame it got over there. I'm like,
nah, he said, like canwe get the players and coaches upset?

(49:52):
And the balls flying in the backgroundand people might have been overserved.
It was chaotic for us. Imust have been very entertaining to watch though.
Oh people love that one, theKicks all those stuff, like,
yeah, they're they're a lot offun. But like that. We reached
out to a couple of places thisyear and we're like, you know,
if it's i don't know, maybethe number ninety nine in the restaurant's name,

(50:15):
like if more than ninety nine pointsare scored, kids eat free the
next day. Stuff like that,people are afraid of it. I'm like,
I'm like, it's that's a hundredpoints, Like, yeah, we've
seen what you guys do. We'relike, okay, sorry, you're gonna
go under ninety nine. No,no, we're good. We don't want
to do that like whimps, butno, it's that good good for bo
bah good, good for good forhim. Uh So that was the That

(50:37):
was the amazing and a good way. How about this one? If you
if you don't know me, don'tcreep up with my dms like this.
Okay, you're you're ready for you? How many? Actually I'm ready?
I should read I should read whatthis this gentleman wrote to me exactly and

(50:59):
again maybe maybe something where I shouldrespect the hustle. But he caught me
off guard. Hey man, goodto see you back in Albany. Any
chance of a few tickets for thehome opener? Let me know, please
and thank you. I don't knowyou. You literally I left out the

(51:21):
line where he tells me his namewho he is? He says, I
don't know him. You just likehit you just hitting dudes up for free
tickets? Should just right back?Yeah, call this number and get you
have your credit card ready. It'sthere was a point in radio and still
is that like hey, people thoughtthey just like right out of their mouth
like the old like golf mini potlike tickets to start flowing out of DJ's

(51:45):
mouths. But this one's way different. This one's like, hey, haven't
spoken to you in a while,haven't even checked up on you in a
while, but can I have somethingfree? Please? And I was,
I've been back in Albany for Ileft for like three weeks. My Columbus
Lions ownership period did not last verylong. Three weeks, like three years

(52:06):
ago? Has it been that long? I would say so right, No,
not three nose, because I willlaugh. It would have been a
year and a half, two yearschampionship was won and then so this would
have been I won two championships,and then I went, oh, two
champions Okay, I thought the secondone? Please please please? Do you
know the plus ever, I've neverstarted a season as a team president and

(52:28):
not won a championship. You weren'tthe team president for twenty twenty three,
I was not, remember, becauseI came back. Poor Matt Woods got
stuck with it, and then allhell broke loes Oh right, right right?
I know who I was president forthe beginning of twenty three was the
Columbus Lions, who did win achampionship. That think of that. I
was the president for the Empire twentyone to twenty two, we won both

(52:52):
titles, and then the Columbus Lions, I was the part owner team president
on the beginning of twenty three,won a championship in some weird little league
afi L I think. And nowwe're back, So I got I got
perfection on the line this season twentytwenty fourth, the pressure's on and I
need this. By the way,that guy's information or girl, whoever it

(53:14):
is, let's do this because maybeat some point here, maybe I don't
know, in a week or twohere under the iHeart umbrella, maybe we
might have chances to win tickets.This person is not allowed to win.
No, I think we're gonna putthe work in the win. Fine,
but just hit me up on Facebook. We're not even friends. That does
that doesn't deserve tickets. Then they'retrying to cheat the system. Should you

(53:37):
just write back? She just givethem the ticket line, give them Joe,
wait till next all my ticket?Yeah you know no, no,
no, yeah, give them Joeand tickets and be like, hey,
here's how you can get tickets.And then he's gonna call them be like
oh I thought these were for freeand be like no, and then see
how it goes. That's a greatidea. Actually, like I listen,
and you know I'm not I'm notsending you with the tickets like we were.

(53:58):
We literally had a meeting where guysjust goes go give away tickets here.
He didn't ask for tickets for FoxSports. He asked her tickets for
every other station in the building anddidn't ask for tickets to give away here,
barely any tickets every Tracy didn't evenask for any. And then and
then all of a sudden, likeI'm like, I'm like I'm just looking.
I'm like, are you gonna saysomething. I mean, we should
give him way all the time.Tracy's hitting me the promotion. She's like,

(54:20):
come on, ask for more tickets. I'm like, ah, your
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that sounds good. Tickets. Yeah,
