(00:20):
Fact, it's time for the Topfour four with Levac and Goza for
the four biggest stories in the worldof sports. Is brought to by Bahawk
Cotta, where they always go outof their way to please you. Oh
Gszie Barrett, what's the fourth biggeststory? We gotta give some love to

(00:42):
hockey from last night. One ofthe most bizarre finishes maybe you'll ever see.
The Red Wings score a goal late, but it's an empty net goal.
One of the craziest finishes for theWashington Capitals. So there's an empty
scored, the Flyers get knocked out. John Tortorell, who's coaching the Flyers,

(01:04):
pulls the goat goaltender, thinking thisis gonna help. Well, he
didn't realize Detroit scored it with threeseconds left and it actually eliminated them for
the playoffs. Well that this iswhat everyone dreams to happen if you're a
fan of a certain sport where itcomes down to a crazy scenario. I'll
use the red zone comparison because technologyis that now you're cutting back and forth

(01:27):
between each game. You want tosee the finish. This impacts this on
this TV over hockey got that lastnight, So shout out if you were
a hockey fan, you got adream scenario last night. And by the
way, season is not over.You still got some action tonight, the
Islanders hosting the Penguins in one matchup, and keep your onion ear open for

(01:49):
Eilers Coyotes later on. But backto back. Uh, what do you
make of the hockey finish involving thoseplayoff scenarios. I mean it's it's it's
fitting for this season because this isa season of hockey where I've acted like
I paid a little bit of attentionbecause it's been fun, crazy, a
little different. There's there's always thosehockey fans in your life, like,
well, let you go see itlive? Did ever go back whatever,

(02:12):
Bubba, Nah No, because Ihaven't seen it live. I don't like
people who freak out that we don'thave the hockey team here I'm like,
I'd love to help you get one, but doesn't mean that much to me
if they're not winning. This yearhas been They've kept the intrigue. There's
been fun all the way through.It's just fitting that would have some crazy
little stuff happen while it's all comingto conclusion. Living it up for that,

(02:34):
they expanded playoffs the end of theseason. Good for hockey fans.
We're gonna move on to story numberthree here. It's baseball fans getting some
afternoon baseball on this Wednesday. Astrosleading the Braves three to two. White
Socks. They might win a game. They've scored two runs, though it's
more White Sox on brand two runsper game so far from the two and
fourteen White Socks. Up on theRoyals though two to one. Nationals leading

(02:55):
the Dodgers to nothing. Amyson Cardinalslocked up heading into the SEC need no
runs Apiece d backs up on theCubs and Yankee fans. The Blue Jays
ahead of the Yankees, is aheadto the third Blue Jays on top to
nothing. If you missed the earlypart of the show, our one apples
Spotify, the iHeart app always onthe mandlovaking gas We compared the Yankees' most

(03:15):
recent loss to a toddler spilling yogurtin the kitchen. Uh back to nothing
right now, still far from overfor the Yankees. We haven't cleaned up
all the yogurt yet. This wayis what we're what we're saying here.
Other game, sorry, other gamesto go. Final Giants three one over
the Marlins, Orioles Twins four two, and the MAT's nine to one winners
over the Pirates. You're right,yogurt still needs to be cleaned up.

(03:38):
A lot of a lot of yogurtto clean up. Hopefully a nice slice
of bread. I'll soak that rightout, little Stroman's bread, you know,
the bread man Stroman. Let megood, so swave it right up.
Let's figure it out. Waita,is that how I'm supposed to clean
up? Yo? No, no, no, no, not at all.
But but I mean, when I'vegot I've got a Stroman reference,
I gotta figure out. I gottafind a way back into this thing.
Now. Listen, it's everything thatyou you say at this point of the

(04:04):
season is still part of it.I'm still looking around. It's still early,
no matter what happened. But baba, all the things but like
Mets fan can speak to this,how much did you hate me? Week
one? When I'm there going dude, count down, it's gonna plays.
I think you're gonna play it together. Now you're putting together. Now you're
sitting over there. I know noneof you are reaching out for me and

(04:24):
going, hey man, thanks forkeeping the cooler head. You're still like,
no, that was annoying. Wewere in full panic. You were
annoying. Now my brain is fightingitself, like half of it is annoyed
and freaking out at the other halffor freaking out. I'm still not over
the bread and the yogurt. I'mthinking like you like the sauce. I
guess like if you had an Italianrestaurant, if you want to get sauce

(04:44):
on it up, nice little oil. Yeah listen now I'm hungry. Now
you did it. Time is flockyou tonight. Let's move on to story
number two. Here this great pizzaor something. This guy's brother is Michael
Porter Junior, not Outo Porter,who I told jac and sales Ere they
had this great take about Outo Porter. That's it's not the same Porter.
It is Johntay Porter. I wantto put the Polish y on the jay
don't called me yonte Porter yont yoncePorter. If if has been banned from

(05:14):
the NBA for life after an investigationrevealed he had disclosed confidential information about it,
If you haven't been following this translator, wasn't it his translator? Him
and Yippi are gonna have an awesomepodcast soon. Him and Ippi are just
gonna have nothing, so the tanslatoryour whole life? Do you have anything
to say for yourself, like whenyou get the microphone in your face for

(05:35):
yourself? Is it like, finally, this is what I've wanted to say?
Or is it just like I don'tknow what to doing. Nobody's telling
me what to say. That's agreat question. We talked now the podcasts
coming when they get out of jail. Uh. The NBA investigation started last
month because sports books were like,hey, why is there a ton of

(05:57):
money on the unders for Johnante Porterand that guy keeps calling him yonte This
this seems weird. That's how hegets bat that's how you bet it so
is John Tey Porter was the playerYontay Porter bet at him mustache like a
hat. I have no idea thisman you speak of this junk day,
I am a yunk day. Onetime back in March twentieth when they played

(06:19):
the Kings a better added an eightythousand dollars same game parlay with nothing but
Porter unders bet would have cashed onepoint one million, So they didn't pay
that. No, they said,this smells weird. Why did Porter only
play three minutes before he left witha quote illness? I guess you know.
For me, this is the thisis the back of the future conundrum.

(06:44):
You know when when when when Biffgoes back with the uh the sports
almanac, so so he builds anempire betting sports. Do you are you
smart? You slow play, consistentlywin, you know, throw some losses
in there so nobody doesn't raise anyflags. Or do you go, hey,
this could run out at any time. I'm gonna do a multiple game,

(07:08):
a multiple play, same game parlayall unders on this because I know
this guy fails, Like, whatdo you like? You're smart? They
could have bled that for years,Yes, they could have, but this
is an example of how dumb peopleare. Right like Greedy. A January
twenty sixth game in this of instigationalso shows nothing but Porter unders whoa,

(07:28):
that's weird. He left the gamewith an eye injury. This is how
I look at it, And maybethis is because you and I both like
the Waitron sports to me a greatexample of thank goodness. Technology is caught
up so many people and maybe theyhave a point somewhere that this could ruin
professional sports, in college sports becauseof potentially too much influence knowing, but

(07:49):
because technology and sportsbooks sniff this out, feel it, notice it in irregular
between this, oh hey, weshould look at this were to me,
this is like this worked. Itcould have got a lot worse if it
wasn't caught we didn't have this technology. Would you, like, would your
ego allow you to consistently be underlike one point? Like? Would you

(08:11):
because like my ego wouldn't allow it. I would go out there and fight
for the points. So I haveto believe because you still, I mean,
like, he's probably not he's probablya couple hundred grand a year or
something like that. He's not oneof the bigger stars, so it's not
like he's making a good jillion dollars, but he's living comfortably. He's an
NBA player. People may or maynot know who you are, you.
You could probably pull some you know, some Tommy DeVito stuff where you start

(08:37):
signed augrass at hometown for cash,or you can cash in for sucking here.
That's what he did. He cashedin for sucking. Yeah. And
what happened during this investigation back toMarch to now is people started to find
these investment videos that Porter hosted wherehe's very much in a crypto and he's
up in the stock market. SoI think as ego took over, less

(08:58):
about what you're talking about, theover unders and more of like, hey,
I'm really smart when it comes tobusiness. I how to make money,
I know how to trade. Thisis I don't know this for a
fact, but I bet he toldpeople this is like stocks. I'm gonna
make a ton of money on this, and I have the biggest in you
could ever have. I'm the onethat's doing it. Do you think there's
a chance somebody has hooks in himand he didn't have a choice, No,

(09:20):
Like he lost all his money incrypto and now they're just like watching
nerds are out front like you're gonnado what we say, Yande. I
don't think so. I hope thisis a let where do you think Pete
Rose is right now, like,come on, really, right another one?
I mean, look, this isway worse than me. But Pete,
that doesn't mean you should be backin. I mean yours is in
that equation too. I know that'sa classic sports radio topic. But you

(09:43):
bet on the sport, you beton the unders. People sniffed it out.
Hopefully this is the last time wehear about an athlete getting a lifetime
ban, and other athletes hear thestory and like, we can't get away
with it. We can't have thishappen. Check down, he's gonna sniff
this out too fast. I justcan't. I can't. I just can't.

(10:05):
I can't. I can't imagine aworld where more people would rather profit
from being garbage than live their dreamof being a professional athlete. I don't
like, I don't want to understandthat world. Wait a second, can
I decode that? Do you justsay, hey, if you're gonna throw
games, at least bet the overson yourself. If no, no,

(10:28):
obviously, like you can't bet likeyou can't. You you worked hard in
your life, you have certain youhave a certain amount of God given talent.
Things fail your way or whatever You'rein the NBA. You you are
lightning struck, but you decided thatyou you're willing to suck to cash in
faster. Why not? Why notspend a lunch of time in the gym,

(10:52):
get better at free throws up,your up your points per game,
and get paid. Story number onemore NBA action. I don't know if
Porter's wage on these games or ifhe's allowed to. He's a lot of
now heat six ers, seven o'clocktip off, nine thirty Hawks, bulls,
vac uh. Are you know?I'm just gonna fly to ask you.
Are these in your play of theday today? One of them is?

(11:13):
All right? I want them.I won't force you to pick this
thing. Well, no, Ijust I think I listen if you don't
know that, I think the seventysix ers are about to go barnstorming.
I don't know what you've been listeningto. I just I think if embat
is healthy, that's the seventy sixers are not. They're not supposed to
be here. It's like when youlike is everyone saw you like look around
and you're like, I'm better thaneveryone here, Like you don't get to

(11:33):
do that often. Seventy six Youcan do that right now, because they're
only in this playing game because Embiidwas hurt for extended period of time.
Em Beid is not hurt anymore.They gonna come out swinging. Miami,
get ready to go defend your lifeagainst the h the winner of Atlanta Chicago.
I'm leaning towards the under offend toplay anything in that sixers heat game.

(11:54):
That's the way I would lean.But I would take Philadelphia as well
in that victory because they feel likea more balanced team. Even though Miami
has been really good at Miami willprobably grab that eight seed, and whoever
they get between the Hawks and theBulls, I would take. You know
what, coaching, I'll do thecoaching storyline. Give me Eric no I
must you heard me go with thestoryline. I'm like, Billy Donovan can

(12:18):
help the Bulls, but I thinkBilly Donovan really doesn't want to be in
the NBA. You know what I'mgoing against. The best coaches eat Hawks
tonight. Sorry Billy Donovan, SorryEric Spolstra. I had to take ready
for seventy six ers Bulls. Let'sgo rock and roll. I I don't
know, like it's just it's sometimeswhen I look up and see logos and

(12:39):
I go, oh, Michael Jordan, Dominicue Wilkins, and then no,
no, no, it's modern.It's a modern game. It's Trey Young
and Tomarto Rows. Yeah, ohnice players, but not MJ and Dominy.
Worst hair you've ever seen? Imean, Gos has full grown out
of hair, looks better. Iwould say, Jimmy Butler, if we
did the worst hair tonight would bethe emo Jimmy Butler. Look if you've

(13:01):
he's not rocking that right now though, right that was that was just for
pictures. I thought, I hopenot. I hope not tonight. At
least he is not rocking it now. But tonight's the playoffs. Anything could
happen. I'm different, and Bead'sdoing the Juju Watkins commercials with his hair.
You've seen that if those are jokes, like cherry watch around with that

(13:22):

It's Lovak and Guz on the Voiceof the Capitol Region sports fan Fox

(15:13):
Sports ninety five and nine. Idon't think you could do that. What
do you mean we have to goback? We were in the middle of
a break there. I don't thinkyou can do that though, Like I'm
a married man, I don't.Yeah, we got Lilian David we'll talk

(15:33):
about and just talked about him.I guess, I guess I gotta be
very careful with all right one,all right, let me start. Let
me start by saying you are anextremely loyal human, you love your wife.
Yes, I have been with youevery possible place where. If you
were the kind of wandering guy youwould do it. And you've never even

(15:54):
I've never even seen you hesitate yourwife. Is it? Like? But
what's Seal saying? Just because dietdoesn't mean you can't look at the menu?
You know you you just said something. And we've like obviously like paid
sporadic or whoever, like these beautifullike public famous people. You know,

(16:15):
we've also said I I will Iwill comment on everyone about everything. It's
it's it's a major personality defect ofmine. And I'm sure people who mean,
hey, look at the back guy, you know whatever. Before right
right before we came back, youwere telling me a story and I don't

(16:37):
want to be too specific. Yeah, should be easily fould and I want
that to happen. Well, it'sjust you. So why don't I do
it back to cover year? Letme see how far a you're willing to
go with this. Yeah, Iwould say, throughout the mornings and afternoons
and evenings. My schedules change overthe course last year, so I will
run into a group of people moreso than before. Just deal with different
people. And I'm a young youngfather, so I'm learning about people in

(17:00):
my neighborhood and everything else. Sothere's somebody that I interact with very often
who is in my mind, veryattractive, and I think it's more about
the personality than the actual looks,but it's a combination. She's a very
attractive person right, both personality andengaging and physically. She had a trait
that I was startled by. AndI won't even say the trait because that's

(17:22):
a different way it would be.It would be something that you normally would
probably give like a demerit for likewhen you're looking at somebody, going,
oh, that person is beautiful,you would usually probably go except for this
thing. Like if you were awoman listening to this and all of a
sudden you were talking to a guywho's your neighbor, a friend, whatever,
it might be a classmate, that'skind of wishing you had given less

(17:45):
of these details and let me saywhat the thing was instead of where you
ran it. I'm saying, well, you've you've kind of said like it's
it's definitely like a parent or somethingthat you've run into an adult, a
grown up. Yeah, I thinkthat's the weird. If it wasn't,
can I say what the thing is? Then sure? So there's there's the

(18:06):
gods noticed this beautiful woman has alittle gap between her two front teeth.
A Lah, Michael Strahan. Youknow maybe not that that that significant,
but GODZ says to me, andagain, this is a conversation you originally
had with the misses, right,yeah, like I've had this conversation.
I don't sell this is not aboutit now. No, there's no guilt

(18:27):
to it because it's just you know, once in a while you look around,
Hey look at that, all rightwhatever. Yeah, the last thing
he said, he goes, am, I attracted to women who have a
gap in their teeth. And thenit's like I can't. I need to,
I need to, I need towalk this path. For a second,
I was so startled by it becauseI'm like, this is what happens.

(18:48):
I guess as I get older.Like you said, like, I
haven't been in the dating games.I've been dat b my wed since I've
been seventeen. Were like, letone significant love in your right, Like
let's say you have a neighbor again, guy or girl, but we're gonna
use a girl for an example,say you're neighbors attractive A whow they got
a tongue ring? Am I tonguerings? Like? What is going on?
Yeah? What's like I tattoos?I think the question is And if

(19:10):
you want to do this on onX no, I don't. This is
a podcast and audio audience only.I don't need this on social. I
was thinking, what's the what's somethingthat you find yourself attracted to and you're
not? You're not. You're notsure why because like there's a chance,
like maybe you had a teacher whenyou were younger that was an attractive woman

(19:30):
and it's you know, she hada small little gap in her teeth,
and now it's always been a thingfor you. I don't think. I
don't know. I don't know.Like guys with big beards, maybe they
turn you on. Maybe some femalesbe like I've never seen a guy with
that big of a vie? AmI attracted? I'm trying to think of
what other qualities and women that menare just a style thing like like there's

(19:52):
there's there's a thing called chubby chasers. There's women who love fat guys and
viceroses guys who love fat women.So like, I mean, I've I've
only found one or two in mylife. But like there's there's things that
you would that typically conventional wisdom thecrowd would find less appealing. That's that
for whatever reason, you're attracted toand your wife has great teeth, tiny

(20:18):
years, maybe it's another thing.Maybe that if you ever find like a
woman with a straight hand gap intiny ears, you may have to leave
the wife. Okay, yeah,honey, one of us is moving out.
I was just so sing because Iknow that I have like similar things
where it's like I shouldn't love that, but I love it. I would
say a turn off for me wasfemales who would swear a lot because what

(20:38):
we do for a profession, likeI can't if I was introducing somebody to
my family and they're dropping an Fbomb every other way, like ooh,
is that what I want to beassociated with? Or if I ever,
you know, had a conversation onthe air like oh god, I gotta
worry about that. I just don't. That's a turnoff for me. But
it was the first time in mylife I'm like I'm interacting with this person
walking around my neighborhood, taking mytrash out doing chores, where the kids

(21:00):
doing whatever. And I'm like,that's what she has and I find it
fine, like attractive, great,I'm interested in it. That's not cheating
on your wife. That's just likeand I was honest with her. I'm
like, I was so no,do you know what? You know what
I changed my mind. Let usgo that's not what I said. Let

(21:23):
us snow on social media and we'renot gonna judge you at the job on
Facebook. Trying to think of somethinglike like maybe you like a guy with
a beer belly. It compares himto a six pack? Why do you
keep saying like a guy like whatcouldn't he like we're trying to this is
the twenty twenty four of the backall right, I know, read the

(21:44):
wings here, get those female demosup here on the radio, bring buck.
I mean, there are they are, like listen, let's let's speak
clear. There are there are cultureswhere I'm very appealing because I can afford
to eat a lot. You wantme to do this instead, like,
hey, I saw this early otherday. Man. She had some hairy
armpits and it didn't actually you know, I mean, what was the missus

(22:06):
doubtfire the bus driver like a womanlike that. The way God made you
like nine toes never seen it beforeis amazing. I don't know, like
it's I can't. I'm gonna haveto what's gonna have the worst part about
this is and one of the reasonsI wanted to go on Axes, I'm
not. It's not clicking to mewith the thing is that I'm just like,

(22:26):
why do I like that? ButI know that it's there, Like
I know that I've been like I'velooked at a woman and gone, that's
not like conventional beauty, but Ilove it? Like what like you know
what I mean? Yeah, letus let us know. I'm not gonna
open the phone lines because I don'twant somebody to. Corey will be like,
I love cow. Are you talkingabout Karen, my cousin from Greenwich?

(22:49):
That's not funny, guys, notfunny. Uh. Also, I
think everybody in Corey's life should startwith a K like Karen Chris with ay.
I feel bad for Zion. Iknow we're about an hour and twenty
into the show here, there's notransition. Speaking of fat guys. Zion
looked great and that's the you know, what good you set me up with

(23:11):
it? Zion looked great. Iwas frustrated last night with Zion because Zion
was so good, in shape,healthy. We had so much better content
when Zion was fat. It wasso much more fun. Maybe I people
were attracted a fat Zion and didn'teven realize that he played so well.
He was the missing piece of Pelicansneeded, going to the basket, playing

(23:32):
good defense, working with his teammates, playoff debut and I like how they
had like debut and quotation marks becauseit was the playing tournament. Man,
if he doesn't get healthy, orif he's not gonna get healthy now he
got hurt in the game last night, if he is playing at the end
the Pelicans beat the Lakers, I'mconvinced that I wagered on the Lakers last
night. I cashed that ticket thinkingthis is not a one I feel good

(23:53):
about. They should have lost thatgame. If you're a Pelican fan,
if you're a Zion fan, youshould feel like you got cheated out of
that one. Because that's about asgood as he gets. And I saw
I got a little bit of heat. Or people are like this guy can't
stay healthy, People like he wentfor like forty to ten. They got
hurt with less than five minutes togo, so look, the Lakers wont.
It was a great game. Boldteams. I feel like Rashid Wallace,

(24:15):
Bold Team's played hard. Bold teamsplayed hard, but they did.
It was a fantastic basketball game.And the second one not so much.
How did you feel about Zion goingdown at the end of that one.
But he's not gonna his hams strikinghis bag. He's not gonna play against
the against the Kings. Now it'syou know something about this point in my
radio career, I just live incliches the best abilities availability. Like I've

(24:37):
watched him do the things that youwere talking about him doing before I knew
who the hell he was. Likeyou were on it, you were on
Zion Williams and the way a lotof people were on Lebron James. You
were talking about him going into Dukeso like I was the the part of
me that loves to give you ahard time was hoping he'd suck. But

(25:00):
the part of me who loves whenthe show is right, was like,
yo, I hope this guy isjust a monster. And he was,
and he showed it. He canbe a monster, but he was a
monster for thirty six minutes last night, and now he's done for at least
a game. Like that's it's sofrustrating and aggravating, and just like,
if you're the Pelicans, what doyou have to do to get it right?

(25:22):
Anthony Davis? You finally let himgo? You pay, now you
pay Zion? He look what he'she looks. There's moments out there where
you're like, look at him,the I'm sorry, the back and forth
where he blocks Lebron, the ballgoes all the way down to the other
side. They screw up, itgoes all about it and Lebron still dunks.
Like that's that is a microchasm ofhow the Pelicans must feel about Zion

(25:45):
Williamson. It's like, look atthat amazing play that still bid us in
the ass, Like it's still everytime before we went to the are you
attracted to the female version of MichaelStrahan? I thought about that same play
and I actually was gonna I thought, We're gonna open the show with this
today. But a lot of otherthings have happened along the path to this
spot where I'm like, rank theamazing Zion's performance that he's I love DJ's

(26:08):
tweet is that he's basically Dominique Wilkinsif you added seventy pounds. I don't
think that's that far off actually,or Lebron just in general, like Lebron
of what he did last night,Lebron is balding. He's been balding for
aud but he's got the Hey,I though I'm gonna get paired of Lebron,
I'm gonna keep rolling with that.Right Uh, he's grain. I

(26:30):
still I don't got to gray yet, but Lebron's balding and gray, and
he's getting close to a triple doublelast night and moving incredibly, especially in
the first half. I'm like,look at him moving twenty one years into
this thing and he's moving like that. The level of amazing basketball we got
out of Pelicans Lakers last night,it was, It listened, It was
there was. It started where Ithought the Pelicans were ready to, like,

(26:55):
you know, grab the brass ringand run with it. Then the
Lakers were like, no, notso fast, We're still amazing. And
then and then, like you said, it looked like the lovely Pelicans were
gonna finish thing off, and thenthey didn't like it when when I when
I see what happens to Zion Williamsonto your point about Lebron, it's even
more amazing. Twenty one seasons,thirty nine years old. He's me forty

(27:17):
soon. But even like I startthinking about Shack, like how in the
world, And and you can seethe difference the degradation and skill of Shack
over the course of his career.The Shack that won with Miami was nothing
like the Shack that won in LA. But to get out there as much
as he did, because when you'rethat big feet, hammy's things like whatever,

(27:40):
everything that's weight bearing starts to hurt. I know, I swear I
don't speak from experience, uh,but like like when you see a guy
like Zion who who like even whenhe's chubby, he's still he's still in
If he took his shirt off andwalked around, you'd be like, Dan,
that's that's that dude's put together.Like you wouldn't be like, look
at the fatty like if you knowI did. But so for his joints

(28:03):
to be blown up, for himto play through a basketball shoe in college,
and they have a guy like Shaqwho was just something we had never
seen before that size, that speed, that that skill is not the free
throw line, it's it's more,it's because more impressive. When I look
back at what he did, theLakers advanced to get a rematch of the
Western Conference finals in that two toseven matchup, and then that late game

(28:25):
Warriors Kings. Let's remind people,and for those who didn't stay up last
night, I had to remind myselfof this that in the twenty twenty three
NBA Playoffs, I knew the Kingsalmost beat the Warriors. I remembered that,
and they were up two to zeroin that series. What I did
forget was that the Kings were thethird seed in the Western Conference last season

(28:45):
and the Warriors were the sixth seed. So Sacramento is Golden State. And
what I mean by that is likewhat Golden State created in the NBA,
guys who could shoot, high poweredoffense, efficiency, everything that Golden State
created is what the Kings were whenthey were. Statistically, and we had
warp Pig yesterday. If you missedthat Apple Spotify the I heard before the

(29:10):
Celtics this season, Statistically, theKings were one of the greatest offensive teams
in NBA history. That's what happenedlast night. The Kings clifted Golden State.
The dynasty's over. Klay Thompson lookedhorrible. It's enough. I told
you Klay Thompson was toasted earlier thisseason when they were comparing his game to
a McChicken burger, right, likea McChicken. Once you get compared to

(29:33):
a McChicken, it's time to wrap. Klay Thompson should retire. It's done.
Draymond S got traded two years ago. Steph Curry's making it. It's
over for the Warriors. They gotbeat by the younger version of them,
and you got the example of gettingtoasted in the second half. Golden State's
done. You had a great run. That's the better version of you,
younger version of you. You're done. It was a great run. Sacramento

(29:55):
is now you maybe not when championships, but offensively, I think they've heard
was there. Remember it gonna bethirty the kids last night her because Hurd
her is he Remember there was apoint where I wanted to start calling Hurder
and Trey uh Ice Tray there theTray young Yeah, the the the the
Swoop Brothers instead of the Splash Brothers. Because I wanted that shooting out of

(30:18):
that team. But to do thatwithout hurt her being there and everything else.
I what what happens though, Likeyou talk about Clay Thompson being done.
Is Clay Thompson done or does heneed to go somewhere else and be
a like a sixth man, Likelet's say he went to the next and
he was a six man. Justyou bring him out there for the big
shots. You bring him out therewhen you need something, a little spell
the other guys. Whatever? Couldhe still play or is he done?

(30:41):
Done? Stinks done? It's overlook. He got hurt. He got
hurt. It happens in sports.He had two awful injuries that a lot
of guys, if they weren't asgood as him, probably would have ended
their career. He came back.He had some flashes. When the season's
on the line and you're on thecourt for thirty two minutes, when the
only guys in the floor who playedlonger than you were Draymond and Steph Curry,

(31:02):
who are not spring chickens. Somebodystretch when you're on the floor for
thirty two minutes and you go ohof ten from the field and you go
oh of six from three, oneof the great shooters in the history of
the NBA against the Sacramento Kings.Time time to call it a career.
That's that's an I've seen enough.Okay. Your other thing was trade Draymond
who's putting up with him besides SteveKerr? That's probably you know what,

(31:25):
Levak, You answered my question.They probably would have done it two years
ago. If someone wanted to tradefor Draymond, I would have taken him
two years ago. Yeah, ascrazy as he was two years ago,
I would like if you put himand you can kind of see it,
look at the toughness that og Nobibrings without the crazy like Draymond Green could
have brought that toughness to the Nicksa while ago. And again, my
my reaction is almost always gonna beKnicks based on your home for New York

(31:48):
Knicks Basketball ninety five, nine andnine eighty. We find out tonight who
they play. But it's man manoh man good. You know. I
couldn't be more wrong aboutlast night.That's all there is to it. I
thought Golden State was just going tobe better, and I went with tradition.
I missed on that and also ChrisPaul also on the Warriors. For
those who have been following Golden State'sbench for Chris Paul, right, Chris

(32:09):
Paul. He's getting roasted today onsocial media with Klay Thompson because he had
the quote back when he was withthe Suns that when they got to that
NBA Finals against the Bucks, hehad said, I'm addicted to the NBA
Finals. I can't wait for moreof it, and people congratulated him on
three years of sobriety. That's phenomenal. All right, I'm good on that.
That makes me happy. That's agreat joke. That is. See,

(32:31):
that's when the Internet wins. Iwill pay for Twitter for stuff like
No, I don't say that outloud, you know, damn well,
Elon or somebody's listening to that,going, oh really, that would love
for you to pay. We've gotto get to our play in the day.
Let's talk about elevations ten thousand thoughyour rockets of elevation ten thousand today
in studios you prepped for flock Universitylater tonight. It is. I can't

(32:53):
stress enough how important they are tobusinesses who don't have this overwhelming budget to
do everything themselves, Like, ifyou had this overwhelming budget to do everything
yourself, you may not need Elevationten thousand. You probably could shrink your
budget with them, which would begood business. But the thing about Elevation

(33:14):
ten thousand, Elevation ten k dotcom is all day. I hit them
for something, right, So thedasher pads for the Firebirds, they're gonna
be doing that. The I senta picture of the T shirt canon that
just got here to David mclett andgo, David bye. Wish I knew
somebody could put a Firebirds logo onthis. Of course I got the thinking

(33:34):
emoji back. I'll have them.I'll have a proof of the logo in
no time. Josh and Christian overin the print shop hit them today,
Hey, season ticket holder event comingup? When do you think I'll have

and they do it very very well. Elevate your brand today with elevation ten

(34:16):
nine eighty Now back to Levac andGuz on ninety five nine and nine eighty
am Fox Sports Radio. Pound Cake, it says here for music, Ben
Halen, puncake good too. Youknow pound cake is pancake. No,
no, there's pound cake, there'sassert and then there's there's pound cake.

(34:42):
Oh oh okay, all right,I thought you on Halein was not thinking
about dessert. Do you know howbig Cat on barstool does like the donuts,
have a great Saturday, have agreat we He'll post like a big
twelve of donuts. Baby, No, no, that's like his thing.
I think I'm trying it right nowon social. If you follow me on
social, you're gonna you're gonna juststart posting donut. I'm posting pancakes.
Post do pancakes a lot. Youput like a smiley face on it,

(35:06):
and that's your thing. Inspirational day, have a great day. Here's my
pancake post. Is that because youfinally learned how to make pancakes? No,
it's my wife does it and Ijust do it. I'm like,
you know what, I think peoplewill, oh, she cooks the pancakes.
Yeah. Yeah, And I thought, you know what, it's an
harmless post and people might know me. But right now it's okay. I
think I'm gonna be more consistent withthe pancake post. The bosses are thrilled.
They're like, you're getting it associal media media really sat in with

(35:30):
you. You're posting pants. Really, they're into that. I don't think
so. I think it's a sarcasticclip by that. Yeah, I haven't.
I'm afraid of what the plan isgoing to be for me long term
with stuff like that, because I'ma little I'm a little I'm a little
up against it, and I wouldlike to blame that for why I sucked
last night in my place of theday play the day, Rod, you

(35:52):
my Mohawks Chevrolet together, Let's driveat Molawks Chevy where they always go either
way to please you. I've gotplays today for today and I have something
I want to tell you. Lightin the mood, but I felt that
I should first say, anyone whorode with me yesterday and my play of
the day, I actually had twoof them, and they both lost Hillaciously.
I'm sorry. I just you know, there's a rule it's my play

(36:15):
until you bet it, then it'syour play. But that sucked. That
was terrible. I was just bad. I felt like, I just I'm
watching the games and I'm like,I've got the Yankees on one screen,
I got the Lakers Pelicans on theother screen, and I'm just like,
there's a point where I'm like,I don't feel like I'm in either one
of these freaking games. And ofcourse the Pelicans came back, made it,

(36:37):
you know, respectable. They foughtdown the line. You know,
if Zion doesn't get hurt, whichis like the like that might be his
middle name, Zion. If hedoesn't get hurt Williamson, and according to
reports, he's not gonna play comingup. What a mess. So I
just I got excuses. You knowthey say, excuses are like your back

(36:59):
door. Everybody's got them, andboth of mine stink. Uh. So
I'm I'm uh, I'm done.I'm done with excuses. But that was
that was that. That was bad. I think it was the late Gilbert
Godfrey, who once was a guestwith you as I produced for a show.
I think I might have been Jackiethe joke Man. Somebody once said
this quote to us, and theysaid, as comedians, they enjoy watching

(37:22):
their friends bomb more than have success. And I had to ask thembout,
like, what do you mean youwant them to bomb? They go?
You don't realize, like Gert,you will hear you. They'll make you
laugh all the time. That's easy, but watching your friends suffer is far
more entertaining because you know the jokesare fine and you're going through it and
you can reminisce about it late theywant them to do poorly. I never

(37:45):
understood what that meant until you textedme last night, because like you're texting
me why your bets are bombing andI'm just bombing. Just go and I
know I've done it to you too. There's That's the best part about having
a mass text with your friends isthat you either have the one friend who
only braags about the ones he hits, but it is way more fun watching

(38:05):
her friend miss horribly cause you're givingme the whole thing. The evac Boston
Dan's reletless. He thinks it's great. I don't think I was beating me
up too bad. I think wewere just rolling through it alone. Yeah.
Yeah, there's nothing to add.You knew what was happening the best.
The best was so in this onegroup chat we're in, don't be
this guy. So like Boston,Dan is like, oh, you kind

(38:28):
of stole my pin stray parlay,which is funny. He has one because
he's a he's a diehard Red Soxman. He hates the Yankees, and
then he starts mocking me for losingmy bets and it's like one of them
is yours too, you know whatI mean? Like you, you did
a very similar wager. You can'treally you can't really do that. It
doesn't really make sense to do that. But how'd you do one and one?

(38:52):
Yeah? I would have. Iwould have slapped my mama to go
one and one. I didn't casha wager because the king has destroyed the
warrior that we talked about earlier inthe show, and they've finished off the
dynasty. The dynasty's dead. Iwas completely even close though, So I'll
just full discretion. And again,if you have a gambling problem when a
hunter gambler, I've been betting likefive to ten dollars, like in the

(39:16):
NFL season is what my heaviest wagersare because you're gonna comes out of my
fun budget. So if I blowall my wagers, I can't go out
and have fun. So in theoff season, like five to ten bucks,
you know what I mean? Likethat I had fifty on that NBA
parlay that hurt. That's done.That's done. I mean we'll drink for

(39:37):
you know, I'm part of abeer pong event a Muddy's on Friday.
I'm just gonna have to like,well, please please donate to the fun.
There's that, all right, staytill the bosses that I need lunch
to be fade for tomorrow. Ididn't wage as much as you, but
I'm really pushing the bosses here toopen up that credit card tomorrow. We
have a credit card here. Youdidn't answer that when I asked him.

(40:00):
I got it. Anyways, Ihave I have called the company cars from
different places, all right, butnot from hair all right. Listen,
we as bad as we both did. Neither of us lost as bad as
Jason Kelce recently did. Have youseen the Jason Kelcey story. No,
so on New Heights, the KelseyBrothers, Travis Kelcey, Jason Kelcey,

(40:23):
they do their podcast together. SoI guess it's like a known thing that
Jason Kelcey will consistently lose his superBowl ring. It's lost, can't find
it. Somebody has to find itfor him, give it back to him.
So at a recent episode of NewHeights, they played a game revolving

(40:44):
around him losing his super Bowl ring. So it was they call them the
Lombaby games, and one of themwas in giant inflatable swimming pools full of
chili con car there were socks tiedto fake Super Bowl rings and you had

(41:04):
to find them. One of thesocks was tied to his actual super Bowl
ring, which was then lost.Metal detectors brought in the whole nine.
They think he's convinced it's in it. It's made its way to the junkyard.
Oh my Kelsey, come on,man, like that's on you.

(41:29):
This is supposed to be, asmost asked, athletes view it as the
prize possession in their athletic career.And you know you lose something that's on
you if you lose your keys,walk around like a college freshman with them
around your neck like I do.If you lose your wallet, get one
of those things that you can puton it. I don't know what else
I can do with you, man, that's on you. There's no way

(41:51):
one of the people in the competitiongets it, pockets at knowing what it
is, and runs right. Whynot? I think I mean that you
can. I don't know they getcaught. I haven't watched. I don't
know who was in the actual Ithought it was all college kids. But
like, you're not playing a gamewith my super Bowl ring, Like that's
first and foremost. That's what we'redoing, not you. Yeah, three
rings of the truck right now.Gods, let's get some chili. Let's

(42:12):
go. No, it's that that'sin that's crazy. I would I'm like
he's so, he's like so muchmore mature about it, which is funny
to say that the guy who justlost the Super Bowl ring and a giant
top of chili and is known forbeing shirtless and drunk in football games ever
since he retired, or even beforehe retired, actually that he's more mature
about it. I would be like, I want everyone who is in like

(42:36):
that studio. I want their name, number, address, and I want
to see their bank accounts. Iwould be, I would. I would
scorch the earth checking to see likelike you, who I love like a
brother and trust like like no otherI would. I would be, I
would. I would pat you downright then and there. And I'm like,

(42:58):
oh, just in case you're jokingwith me, no, I think
you stole it, Like I wouldgo gollim lord of the rings, like
I would be, there's it's theespecially now they're tired, you're not winning
another one. Hey, where doyou keep your super Bowl ring? Well?
Crazy story about that? Actually youdid? What where minor underneath my

(43:21):
cigars on a bookshelf? And they'renot They're at super Bowl rings there.
But we had like so Jordan's mommy wife had this partner kitchen where like
all these very valuable things in theirlife were in this like it's not a
drawer, but it's almost like ashelf that's very small with small like spots
like Okay, here's like your birthwhen you're a baby, like the wristband

(43:44):
you had as a baby. Here'sin cabinet like a display shelf, a
display shelf. Okay, but reallysmall like small things are on there.
So if to get on the shelf, something had to be voted off the
island sort of yeah, okay,but it's above her kitchen table, so
she knows like it'll never fall off. So Jordan's like, you know what,
we have a have a graad.I want to copy what my mom
did. So we're gonna have likea shelf of all the all the nice
things. And the Empire rings werein there at one point, but she

(44:06):
put it behind our couch. Andthis is why I was at one point,
because you put it behind our couch. And as Rex and West got
older, they jump on the couchwhen they weren't supposed to shiny, so
forty fifty things, they're grabbing it, they're knocking it off. It's flat,
and she's like, I can't believethey're doing this. I'm like,
I can't. You put it rightnext to two toddlers, so my rings
are hidden away from the toddlers.So trying to eat one, I thought

(44:29):
you meant they had them. Theywere hidden. I thought you no,
no, no, it's not gonnaI would go over and bribe the kids,
just as as Rex is starting tofinally like me, where's where's god
rings? Where's that rings? Yeah, that's just that's that's crazy. Like
there's always stories about dudes losing theirrings here and their stuff, Like usually
it's like they sold them for whatever, But to lose it, and to

(44:52):
lose it in a game about losingit is insane, Like it's just it's
it's just insane. Time for thatplay today thanks to walk Chevro lay Guys,
you want to? You want to? I would I would like to
go first because the season's winding down. You and I both whiffed on bets
yesterday, meet more so in theNBA. So I'm going to the ice

(45:14):
tonight and have a lot of optionswith afternoon baseball today. Oilers Coyotes,
that's right. A second Arizona Coyotereference on the show this week six and
a half's the over under. Doesn'tConnor McDavid just want more? Does he
just want more points? He's gotone hundred and thirty two. Don't the
Coyotes want to play a few moregames? That they're arena that's called the
Mullet Arena. I feel like itneeded to have like some Canadian acts and

(45:35):
even though the game's in the stateof Arizona. Moola Arena, the Mullet
Arena, give me the over tonightand Coyotes oilers six and a half.
I almost don't feel worthy of wagering. Give me. I'm this what I'm
gonna do. This what I'm gonnado. I'm gonna go. Seventy six
ers money line and then what's emBeide's points. That's what I'm putting those

(45:59):
two together. Over twenty nine anda half points for EMBIID. That is
a plus one twenty nine. Soseventy six ers money line over twenty nine
and a half for EMBIID. Aslong as he's not Klay Thompson, you
should be okay. I mean hecould be, and I would love to
do another pin straight Parlay, butobviously that's a little late, a little
late in the day for that withthis, as you said, the afternoon

(46:22):
games. But you know who whoknows? I don't know who knows,
not me. We've got a thirdhour of the show coming up the Vaca.
I'm sure we've got a conversation abouta scandal in the NFL, which
I don't know if you've heard aboutit yet. Yes, we've got Sam
Firth from the Albany FireWolves, andwe've got the return of angry Boston Red
Sockey emails coming up. Now.I know you're so fired up about Mohawk

(46:45):
Honda because the grand opening tomorrow,but let's not forget the reason Honda had
to redo everything because Mohawks Chevrolet alreadydiet it. Okay, all right,
all right. Where you've gone,Honda, it's because you're big bro Chevy.
Actually is your younger brother Chevy wentthere before. Stay out of the

(47:06):
art facility, rooftop deck, walkingtrail with Adirondack chairs so you can chill
out and relax while service is beingdone on your vehicle financing department like no
other. Honestly, a lot ofthe people that like you, fell in
love with a mohawkan and now areat Mohawks Chevy or Vice Verst so it
all works together. They listen,I would love to start some kind of
rivalry. I know they do itfor the play change challenge, But the

(47:29):
truth of the matter is, yougo Mohawk family, you're getting taken care
of Mohawks Chevrolet. Perfect example ofthat. One of the biggest selections of
Chevrolet is both new and pre ownedcar. Bravo allows you to get any
vehicle, make model, whatever itis right there for you. You know
me, I'm desperate to get somethingstick shift to drive on the side,
and I may have finally found something. I'm gonna see if they'll talk to

(47:52):
me about it. But just it'sjust an amazing place, and I feel
like the fact that I haven't tradedin and bought a vehicle in months,
I feel left out. So Ineed their attention. You want to love
the experience of car buying and serviceand everything else the way I do.
You gotta go to Malak Chevrolet.You getta let's drive at Maluk Chevy where
they always go out of their wayto please you. There's a little little

(48:15):
he said, she said in theNFL. Huh, that's next right here.
