W o X Troy w G yF m H T two olbing W two
forty e c O Fox Sports nineeighty nine nine. Fact, It's time
for the Top four four with Vacand God God talking about the four biggest
stories in the world of sports,and is brought to you by our good
friends at Mohawk Hondo, where theyalways go out of their way to please

(00:24):
you Gods. What's the fourth biggeststory? Oh? I keep going back
and forth and back and forth,and what I want to do here for
the top four to four? Fornumber four? All right, in a
rash situation, am going to letyou decide which one would you like?
NBA based story or a Major Leaguebased star returning from story. Oh I

(00:47):
like the triumphant return. Give methe MLB story. First In Yelich of
the Milwaukee Brewers is back in thelineup. They've activated him, reinstated after
ten days on the il Yelich rememberway back land that back to two thousand
and eight, m v P outof the lineup since early on he was
on fires of sea most of fourto three on base percentage. By the

(01:11):
way, if you look back atsome of these awful trades in the history
of basic Marcelo's yelling and strades arein that mix. U back with the
success of how good the Brewers havebeen. Christian Yellick, Christian potentially being
the key of Milwaukee hanging on andstill being a true contendent of the National
League. M No, no,no, I couldn't. No, I'm

(01:42):
not I'm not gonna be able todo that. I don't believe it.
No, let's do the Christian Yellistrade, shall we? The Miami Marlins
Christianlichs trader. This is what wasgiving back to the Marlins. Lewis Brinsley,
who currently plays in the Mexican League, Eyes DS, who plays with
the Pancaster barnst athletically, excuse meme, athletically. I don't know if

(02:07):
that makes any difference, that makesdifferent. Monty Merrison, who has now
decided to play college football and Arkansasafter wide receiver, He's going back to
college playing in baseball. And Jordanwho is now the head coach of high
school. Yeah, sounds sounds likea great trade. Sounds like it worked

(02:30):
out well for everybody. No,no, no, that's that's gonna be.
That that'll be. That's a rap. Kids, that's that I don't
like. I don't understand how someof these guys have been moved. Like
you. You sit there and youwatch your team and how much you covered
these great players everything like that.And you see teams like this where just
one player after another after another afteranother gets kicked out, all the great

(02:50):
players, and I don't know,I don't get it. Not good trades,
Yeli. It feels like the bestis behind him, So I'm gonna
stick with my can't can't be thecan't be the thing that changes at all.
Let's move on to story number threehere involves uf benam weight champion Sean
O'Malley, who wants to fight McGregor. Now know Conor McGregor's scheduled to be

(03:14):
back in the you have three orthree against Michael Chandler that's scheduled for later
this year. If that actually wereto happen, O'Malley and McGregor figure out
what the right now that doesn't seemto be on target, but Sean O'Malley
is last move fight MacGregor back.Do you have any interest in seeing Sean

(03:37):
O'Malley McGregor, Yes, modern modernMcGregor versus former McGregor. But I just
I can't. I can't see ascenario where where McGregor has a good fight
again. But that doesn't involve Jake, Jill and Hall and and a at

(03:59):
a bar like I and I do. Isn't there that's a massive weight difference,
right, I believe it's close totwenty pounds, and that might be
even higher, but Gregor has towalking around weight. We'll call it where
O'Malley's gonna fight at one thirty five. I believe I don't know what McGregor
weighs these days. I don't knowwhat McGregor wants to fight at these days,
because we've seen McGregor fight back andforth and back and forth of what

(04:21):
actually could work. So I wouldassume, because he's older now, that
McGregor is probably gonna fight higher.So it'd we have to be way more
on O'Malley, and we've seen McGregorfight up. That's a huge difference.
Yeah, but all right, sothey would probably do you want to catchawaight
where they would get within what tento fifteen pounds of each other? Catchweights

(04:43):
are so lame though, Yeah,yeah, but I'm saying like that that's
probably what they'd have to do.But here's here's the deal. I like
the cross weight class fights when theyeither are four like a belt unification,
like somebody to come in the doublechamp or because listen, there's no room

(05:05):
for you in the title anymore,Like like McGregor, I don't think there's
really room for him to have atitle anymore. I think those days,
those days have passed. So Ilike him fight people. But Sugar Sean
is like his champion. He's rightin the middle of all this, So
like, what's like, I guessit's a huge payday, but what like

(05:27):
isn't it Isn't it like a pitstop? It's it's definitely not like the career
trajectory he should be following. No, but I feel like he knows what
his intent is. He wants toget paid a lot of money. O'Malley's
O'Malley always surprises me. Every timewe bring up O'Malley. I would tell
the same story, but somebody maynot have heard it before. I was
sitting in a different studio getting readyto get the show going with you,

(05:50):
and I looked up at the TVthat was on mute, and I saw
o'malan Like who is this clown?Who is this clown? Wild hair?
He looked like side Show from theSimpsons, but with wilder hair, like
they got, I mean, whatare we doing? Who is this guy?
And then sure enough he was promotedas one of the stars because of
his look and because of his aggressivenature inside the octagon. He's a champion

(06:11):
now, like people want to buyhis tickets. He felt like McGregor light.
But the way to prove he's notMcGregor light is to beat McGregor.
It's a It's remarkable though, toseriously think about that McGregor's gonna fight Michael
Chandler. He's won two bouts inseven years that he's still talked about like
this. Well, and that's likeI said, I like, I like
the Sugar show. I enjoy watchinghim fight. He's he's a slower He's

(06:35):
like a slower, smaller version ofMcGregor. Like he just throws more looping
punches, more more deliberate kicks,not like the same as as McGregor does.
But the hmm, I don't Ijust I don't know. I don't
want to see this fight right now. I feel like if he does this
fight right now, it just provesthat he's a sideshow because he should be

(06:59):
doing everything he can to dominantly takeout current fighters. He should be trying
to just dominate everything McGregor is.Again, did you see Roadhouse? Because
I thought he was weird at it, but it was I'd watch him do
another movie. He plays a weird, over the top, good movie villain.
Like, that's where I think McGregorbelongs. Right now, go do
that. Go fight guys who areno longer in the type, go for

(07:23):
the BMF belt like McGregor belongs inthat title category. Now, that's where
he belongs. Sugar Shane should beproving to everyone he's not a side show
and going after and dominating, holdingon the real belts for as long as
he really possible. Now I feelben because I know his nickname is Shane,
and there's the legendary boxer who wentby Sugar Shane. Did I call

(07:46):
him Shane? I thought his namewas Sean. Sean O'Malley correct? Did
I call him Shane and confused?You? That's possible. The sugar show,
That's what I just gotta usually justgo with the sugar shell because he's
he's he's transit he's he is,he's a bigger he's a bigger thing.
Now he's a star who happens tohave the belt. I just don't want
to see him give it away becausehe's fighting McGregor at some stupid fight.

(08:11):
He should be taking on the biggestchallengers for the belt. Somebody with a
number next to their name, notyou know, I'm sorry, some of
the number of the shows where theybelong on your challenger list. Not somebody
with a number next to their namethat shows the last time they were relevant,
like nineteen, I'm sorry, twothouy fifteen his last time that run.
McGregor was a great fighter. Yes, And from now on on this

(08:33):
show, when we refer to thesefighters, it will be Sugar Shane Moseley
with an R at the end inSugar Sean O'Malley, so we're not confused.
Hopefully that will clear it up forboth of us, because we're both
fight fans and similar nicknames can throwpeople off. I totally get it.
Let's move on to story number two, Angels over Pirates five For the winners
in that matchup, Guardians Stay Hota win over the Tigers and actually as

(08:56):
a walk off when it progressive fieldstop putting runners on second base five for
the win. There, Mets andCardinals postpone today, So Matt fans,
sorry, no Met's action tonight foryou. Other games of note tonight include
the Rays taking on the awful WhiteSox. Why did I bring that up?
The White Socks are hilarious that youshared something on Twitter at Tom Goes.
Tomgo's easy. How I believe it'sfourteen offensive categories. The White Sox

(09:18):
offense ranks thirtieth dead lasted. Also, the New York Yankees take on the
Houston Astros seven ZH five first pitchthat we rarely do this, but I
feel like we got to do thistwice in the top four four, but
we'll do this here. I feellike we should talk a little bit more
about this Astros a Yankee game tolead off our number three. Let's push

(09:41):
that to the third hour for AstrosYankees because we only got a little bit
off the bone. I feel likeearlier in the show, I'm fine with
that. I'll dance on that gravea little bit longer. I'm all about
it. I'll be spider tacky.I'm not afraid I'll keep doing it.
Let's move on to story number one. You can hear all the action tonight
right here on your home for theNew York Knicks. That is Knicks basketball.

(10:03):
The Knicks take on the Indiana Pacersin Game two of the Eastern Conference
semi Finals. Tip off set fora few minutes after eight o'clock, so
that means our coverage here on FoxSports ninety five nine to ninet ey gets
underway at eight o'clock. Levac inabout man, let's do like six minutes.
We can give all the storylines.You can dive deeper into it and
all that stuff. We'll give youeverything you want deeper into this game.

(10:26):
We'll break it down. I haveone question before we break it down,
though, because football feels like this, and we asked this a lot on
Thursday night football games. But it'sa Wednesday night here and soon to be
the summer. Do you like theidea that tonight's all about Knicks Pacers,
that no other NBA game is scheduled, that baseball's got some afternoon action,

(10:46):
that the ratings could be through theroof tonight, that it's a standalone island
game in the NBA. Hacers Knickseight o'clock tonight, You know, of
course I do, because this isthe next team that I've been wanting to
watch. This is this is whatI will be watching, Like, you
know, we've got Flock University,uh coming up tonight right after this show.

(11:09):
But then I'm you know, I'mhome, I'm in the recliner.
I'm watching the Knicks. This isthe This this is a game that if
they win this one, now you'reup to nothing against a team that thought
they should have beat you in gameone, that you could potentially kind of
you know, you could rock thebaby to sleep in game two. This

(11:31):
could be This would be a big, big night if the Knicks go out
there and actually win a game whereit's like the fourth quarters never in question.
I mean, come on, itdeserves the spotlight, and I'll be
I'll be stoked to watch it fromstart to finish. You could hear all
the action. Monica McNutt, Pato'keef, everybody a part of the broadcast
team. I think it was Ithink it was Ray Santiago who got the

(11:54):
old two forty five am wake upcall. It's gonna flip around and do
it again. Someone let race sleep. It should be a fun tonight,
Knicks pacers. All right, let'sdivert Let's dive a little deeper into the

(14:07):
Radio app has over one hundred commercialfree stations waiting for you to explore right
now, like free Form Radio,a unique blend of Americana, classic,
alternative and roots rock. It's Avakand Guzz on ninety five nine Fox Sports
Radio. It's a it's an interestingtime to be a Knicks fan. And

(14:33):
and you know, obviously this isone of the better, more exciting teams
of my lifetime. I'm very verymuch enjoying it. Jalen Brunson doing Jordan's
stuff in the postseason, all theseall these cool things going on, and
now its look to go up tonothing. However, guys, I can't.

(14:54):
Can't I feel a little bit ofnegativity slipping in to my peripher I'm
a little yeah, yeah, yeah, like I'm trying not to. Maybe
it's just the fan in me.But with Mitchell Robinson down now again,
and Mitchell Robinson is quite Honestly,I never thought i'd say this about seven
foot tall, two hundred and fortypounds. Man, he's a little fragila.

(15:16):
He seems a little fragila. I'ma little I'm not impressed by his
his durability. He when he's outthere, when he's like healthy ish,
he looks like he's like he walkslike an old man. He's slow.
He he's like every time he getsup, I imagine goes. You know,
you gotta do what, you gottaannounce it, you know, as
you get older, I'm getting up. Like there's a lot going on with

(15:39):
him, but he is, heis out, which he's a big part
of that center rotation. When wheneverything is right, a Bogdanovic is out,
Randall, we know he's gone.We're we're seeing a kind of a
beat up version of this next team. It's almost like, you know,
you go, hey, as longas I've got Jalen Bronson, Josh Hard,
Dante DiVincenzo, and you know eveneven harden Stee, We're gonna be

(16:03):
all right. It feels like there'sa they're challenging us now at this point
with the injuries. Now okay,now, now I'm curious of did you
just code something the way I codedsomething the lead off yesterday's show, Because
the lead off yesterday's show, Ihad mentioned that the Knicks might run out
of gas, the Knicks might notbe able to keep up this pace.
I used the boxing analogy that roundone that took a lot out of them,

(16:27):
and I slowly did my two handedpunch and showed you my boxing moves.
And now today here after the topfour to four, the number one
story being the Knicks and the Pacers. You come back and talk about health
and whether or not they've got enoughand if they're banged up and they're hurt.
Here's what we both just did.The boxing thing. I just did
it in one way, and itsounds like you're in the corner, like

(16:48):
Mick, you've got that weird device, you're pushing the bruise off the dude's
face. You're looking at the Knicks. They got like a black eye under
the left. Their arm hurts alittle bit, they said, their ribs
hurt. And you're like, we'renot throwing in the towel, but boy,
you are definitely injured and you're goingout for round number two. We've
both in two different directions come tothis boxing fight. How much is left

(17:10):
in the tank storyline for the Knick'shearing Game two. No, no,
I mean there's a big difference.Like you you came off of a win
and you were like, oh,I don't know, I'm scared, they're
tired. Whatever I'm telling you thatMitchell Robinson has done. We now have
news that he's out at least throughthe series, probably for the rest of
the season. And you know,that's how many injuries can you can you

(17:33):
sustain? Like that's kind of whereI'm at now again. And I remember
I said it's creeping in from theperiphery. I didn't say I've given up.
I didn't say I'm scared. Ididn't do those things. You can't
put me there. I don't thinkthe Brunson's tired. I think he's ready
to go. But at the sametime, these these extra injuries, Yeah,

(17:56):
they're starting to starting to creep intomy confidence. They starting to make
me a little curious, little cautious, a little little worried. That's all
nothing, you know, I'm notnot cashing out anytime. Actually, SEEAH
sixty eight weeks for Mitchell Robinson withhis ankle now and come on this.
This is different than what you weredoing. You were just looking for a

(18:17):
reason to be hot takey I sawour defensive center go down. I got
nervous. It's a different thing.No, no, no, well,
look I'd like to that fight comparisonof whether or not there's gonna be left
something left and tank. But whateverquestion you asked me to lead off that
show, I'm like, oh man, I don't want to answer that question.
Can I get another one? Iwas gonna save this for later to
unleash my hot take about those minutesbeing all over the place. I don't

(18:42):
disagree with anything you've said so farbecause I liked the idea of conditioning and
health and Mitchell Robinson. That isthe storyline. We could try to find
something else we could give you.That's it. The storyline of Game two
of this series is Mitchell Robinson isdone. The Knicks have played more minutes

(19:02):
than basically anybody else right now.Josh Hart's put up crazy amounts of number.
Jalen Bruntson has been blown away everybody. When it comes to we'll label
it all star minutes actually being onthe court making plays. But right now
we truly don't have an example ofthis will come back to cost the Knicks.
Think about what I'm actually even saying. Hey, people are believing and

(19:26):
Gaz is slowly believing this that becauseyour best players are playing the most of
the postseason, the most important games, that might not be a good thing.
The logic of that is not sound. I've been brainwashed by the people
in baseball. Again is to blamebecause they used to do this with pitchers
until the postseason. I always thinkback to that Matt Harvey World Series run

(19:47):
for the Mets about a decade ago, where Harvey had the pitch count but
it was really the inning count,and they're like, well, we can
change it now we're going to theWorld Series. We'll let har Harvey really
was never the same after that,and Strasburg the same way had the World
Series eventually got better. But wehave no examples of the Knicks falling off
quite yet. And here's the otherthing about Indiana, Like Indiana New York,

(20:08):
that was a coin flip game.In Game one, there were some
calls that went in favor of NewYork. There were some plays that went
in favor of Indiana. If wehave to do anything else besides the health
of the Knicks. The other bigstoryline would be Tyre's Halliburton. Tyrese Halliburton
had six points for the Pacers.I called him a dork because he played
like a dork in Game one,yelling at the officials, making stupid right,

(20:32):
making stupid faces, doing the rawrod, cheering Russell Wilson like he's
a five year old. I lovedthe people. You guys got way too
creative on social media. Whoever isthe person who took the Grant Hill video
of Grant Hill giving Tyres Halliburton hisTeam USA jersey and then somehow edited it

(20:52):
and put it in reverse so itlooked like Grant Hill was taking the jersey
away from Tyrese Haliburton after Game one. That's very funny. That was very
funny. Whoever did that? Halliburton'sthe story. The guy is one of
the twelve best American basketball players accordingto the Olympic Roster. Dude put up
six points in the Game one ofthe series. So Halliburton's performance is the

(21:15):
other huge storyline in this game.Is he a dork should be thrown off
Team USA or is he actually oneof the stars soon to be in the
league. Well hold on too,because listen once, once Halliburton's out,
that means TJ. McConnell comes in. And he's been a spark plug format
and at a spry thirty two he'sbeen every time he comes in, he
seems like he's hitting a shot.He's another one. It's just but again,

(21:37):
that was periphery talk. It wasn'twasn't core belief talk. Wasn't.
I'm not scared. I'm not worried. Nick, You're gonna win this thing.
They're gonna win tonight. And youknow why though, guys right,
why is that? Oh? Comeon? You know, if if Mitchell
Robinson's losing minutes, who's gaining them? Who? Who could possibly? God

(22:00):
bless you the team in the bestpossible way. It's it's the Big Sneeze
time, precious to Chewa. We'regonna have some matua going on out there.
I'm excited about it. I lovethe fact that we get to continue
to use the nickname the Big Sneeze. Is he good enough? Well,
we're gonna find out very quickly.Is he as good as Mitchell Robinson?

(22:22):
No? But so far really nocriticisms for the way in which the Big
Sneeze has had to step up forthe Knicks. This was a question that
was more so focused on in Januaryand February of what's the Knicks bench gonna
look like? If the Knicks haveto go to the bench, do they
have guy ten, eleven or twelvewho can play like a six, seven
or eight in a rotation that theanswer would have been, if they're good

(22:44):
enough to be the six, sevenand eight, they'd be the six,
seven and eight. There's a reasonwhy their guy eleven, twelve, thirteen
on a roster. A chew hasbeen good enough. Not everybody on the
team has to put up thirty five. Not everybody has to have a double
double like Josh Hart. If aChewa just played some defense, stays out
of foul trouble to make sure thedepth is still there and makes life difficult

(23:06):
for the pacers. That's your jobtonight for the Big Sneeze. Got you,
bless you. I love the bigSpace and maybe a little Jericho Simms.
Remember a year ago, Jericho Simmswas out there whenever whenever Mitchell Robinson
got hurt. Everybody's like the offenseruns faster, runs, smoother runs,
better like maybe we need we needmaybe we need a little more Jericho Sims

(23:27):
and then we haven't really seen himat all. So I'm I'm gonna be
honest, man, I'm a littleI'm a little fired up, a little
excited, starting to talk myself intoit a little bit to get even more
excited. And uh, and guys, you know what, not worry anymore,
periphery. He's clear next year.I won this game tonight. Will

(23:48):
the Knicks win the game tonight?Uh? I know you're taking him.
I know. TJ McConnell's made fiftyfive million dollars in his career earnings.
I cannot believe that's the stat Ihad to look that up because I like,
how old is Tea J. McConnell. TJ McConnell's been since the Trust
the Process sixers. I thought hewas gonna be one of these supplemental guys
who would be out a league fiftyfour and a half, fifty five million
dollars from McConnell career earning. It'sincredible. So here's how this Knicks and

(24:11):
Pacers game feels like it's gonna playout very similar to Game one, Like
I could see either team jumping outto a double digit lead before the first
half is finished, and a littleback and forth, a couple of big
threes, and maybe you see atwo or three possession game either way hitting
halftime. But this has been theKnicks in twenty twenty three and twenty twenty

(24:33):
four. When the fourth quarter rollsaround, they've continued to find ways to
make the biggest plays that they need. That's everybody, Brunson, Haart,
Devincenzo. When the fourth quarter happens, that's when the Knicks are at their
best. Here's what I would doif I was wagering on the game or
enjoying the game here on Fox Sportstwenty five, nine to nine eighty.

(24:56):
If you want to pull out awager, hold it in your pocket till
the four fourth quarter. Maybe theKnicks are trailing by like seven, going
to the fourth going down by fivein game, Wager the Knicks with some
plus money. They're the favorite.They're in a four and a half point
favorite tonight. Wager the Knicks ifthey're trailing in the fourth quarter, because
they're known to come back in thefourth and make the plays that are needed.

(25:17):
That's ALLID wager. If I wasa Knicks fan, I would prepare
yourself to have some high excitement moments. If you live in an apartment,
tell your neighbors, Hey, it'sten thirty. I will be yelling later
tonight at the television or at theradio. This is a game where big
threes can happen at the end.I believe Indiana wins this tonight. Late,

(25:37):
No, I sold you, Iwould you do that for well bait
and switched from me there got Auzithere? What the heck? I sold
you on the Knicks the whole waythrough. No, you know what?
You know that is not fair.I can't tell people to what. I
can't tell you to wager the Knicksand then take the Pacers. I can't
do that. My selfish games,my selfish game seven pickot in my way

(26:00):
there, I said, the seriesgonna go se Do I believe Indiana can
win to at home? Yeah?I do. Do I think this can
still go seven? Absolutely? Youknow what, No, take the Knicks
in the fourth quarter with plus moneywill be the wager. I will take
the Knicks to win tonight, butIndiana might take two when they flip the
series back to Pacerland. So giveme the next to get up two oh,
win the game and comeback fashion inthe fourth quarter, and then it's
gonna be a little bit more difficultwhen they get back to Indiana. So

(26:22):
Nicks win tonight could be a threepoint victory for New York. Let me
uh, let me ask you howdeep the next Joe tonight? Eight said
the line of eight and a halfeight and a half players touched the court
under under eight and a half isa prop spot, yeah, because it's

(26:45):
good because at most he shoots themoon at nine. So so you go
Jalen Bronson and Dante DiVincenzo, JoshHart, oh Giannabb, Isaiah harden Steen,
and then probably Miles mcbriden. Preciousat you. That's it. That's
exactly. No, No, AlecBergs shake Milton. Nope, no,

(27:11):
Mama Dakat, I don't think so. Did I hear a shake? The

you can get all the service donethat you need over the course of that
vehicle's life. At Mohawks Chevrolet,you can do the sales right through mak
Chevrolet. They'll they'll work out allthe details with you. So for me,
I'm a bow tie guy. Iwalk on that lot, I get
super excited. I see the Silverados, Taos Malabouz, I see some of
the so the pre owned in Palace. Take me back to I had I

(29:22):
had an LTZ in Palat Guys,it was a sweet ride. Loved that
thing. Wouldn't mind getting my handson another one. Of those One day
maybe I will. But all thosegreat vehicles there, plus cover, they
got everything you can possibly want,everything you want, everything you can need.
Going on right now at Mohawks Chevrolet, just off Exit twelve in the
north Way, paths to walk peopleto talk to together. Let the drive

(29:44):
at Mark Chevrolet where they always goout of their way to you play today?
Coming up right? Is that nextis I don't know what day it
is? Where am I? Yes, it is the play of the day
right here, Sport, it's thevac and guys on ninety five nine Fox
Sports Radio. I know I'm gonnacut you off right before we even start.
I got a lot to say fortoday's play of the day. All

(30:04):
right, let's start with this whathappened last night. If you've been a
wagering, if you've been tailing us, if you've been fading us, keep
that to yourself. If you wantto share it with us, we'd love
to. But I could confidently saytoday, in May of twenty twenty four,
we sit here on the eighth.Yesterday was the seventh. There was

(30:27):
nothing quite like the ride we wenton in twenty twenty four. You could
maybe put this as an all timermaybe number one on the Wildness. That
was the play of the day lastnight for our wagers, Levac, I'm
gonna let you go first because Ibelieve you've suffered something terrible in the world
of wagering for the second time inforty eight hours. Yeah, I've been

(30:51):
I've been taking a bit of abeating, I admitt it. And this
is that moment where you look ateach other and you say, hey,
you know, make sure you're makesure you're wager responsibly, make sure you're
you're using your budget, You're You'renot just out here tossing cash around.
There's an old saying don't don't chasebad money with good money, and that's
what I've been doing. I'm keepingmy budget is consistent. I haven't i

(31:15):
haven't lost any extra. But itwas pretty frustrating last night as I was,
I believe, one shot on goalfrom our tem r temmy Panerin away
from hitting my Rangers parlay. Iwas, uh, these Dallas Mavericks away

(31:36):
from hitting my winner's parlay. Iwas one strikeout. This is the one
hurts the most because you know,the pinstripe parlay has become part of the
show. One strikeout from Louis hilaway from hitting the Pinstripe parlay, which
would have paid really nicely Yankees moneyline. You talked me to putting the

(31:59):
over hit from judge him from Soto. That all happened Luis Hill, five
strikeouts, not six. That's thatwas the one that was the kick in
the pants, the one. Thinkabout what Levac just said there. Okay,
he lost four of his wagers byone. The day before he lost
his parlay by a half. Nowyou listening right now, I know you've

(32:22):
got a list of ones like LevakaGoss. You would if they had fouled
o g Anobi, I would havewon. Yes, Like I know,
people listening right now could have tonsof stories like you guys won't believe this.
That was a half a point awayfrom this, the point away from
that this happens when you do it, especially with fantasy action based parlays.
It happens all the time. Thisone has just stood out where it's like

(32:44):
back two back days and that onein particular where it's one, one,
one right, all in a row. So Leavak had horrible beats. I
had the best winner of the seasonlast night for me, not the highest
payout. We've had higher payouts.I think even then, what but here's
what happened. The Celtic one wasa blowaway win. It really was never

(33:05):
close, even though Celtic fans startedto sweat there a little bit because it
was only single digits. I believeone point in the second quarter relaxed Celtic
fans. You're okay. But theAvalanche comeback and the Ranger comeback. I
thought the Rangers were toast. Whata great game that Ranger game was last
night, but the better one wasthe Avalanche comeback. I love this stat
that I saw shout out to OPAStats on Twitter that said last night's Avalanche

(33:30):
Stars game was the fifth time thisseason that the Avalanche were down by three
or more goals after being shut out, but then shout out their opponent the
rest of the way and came backto win. What what kind of status
that? What? That doesn't makeit five times? Maybe once, maybe
five times in twenty years? Thatfive times in one season you're getting shut

(33:52):
out, you come back and win. That was cash, baby, That
was that was beautiful last night.So if you follow that, hopefully Big
Al because he likes to tell ourmy hockey bets and I hope Ryan and
here was the other part about this. So that was my favorite win of
the season for the comebacks, mostheartbreaking loss for you, our guy Ryan,

(34:13):
who follows this. I texted himabout my greatness today in your Heartbreaks.
He did not respond. I'm nowconcerned, Levac and I warned him
about this and he gets a lotof mentions. No credentials required, podcasts
downloaded. We appreciate him always beinga part of the show, helping out.
I wonder if he's given up onus. I wonder if Ryan's like,
guys, I've done this for fivemonths keeping track of your stuff.

(34:36):
It's really exhausting. I'm not doingthis anymore. I can't handle this.
I need to do my job.Has Ryan quit? That's what I want
to know. Has he given upon us? I don't think he has.
I think he likes us too much. Uh, He's probably just you
know, maybe he had to doactual work. What does he do for
a libic? We know? Ithink he has a variety of tasks that
he completes. He's like the BarneyStinson. He does many things. He

(35:00):
is the cardinal. I think heblesses us with things throughout the day.
Yeah, but I made that up. That doesn't happen any really, that
doesn't sign his paychecks. Okay,oh no, no, no, no,
no, no no. There's notactual man the club. He's he's
like a pastor or something. That'swhy I called the cardinal. Yeah,
he has some type of big job. He wants to rub in our face
and ignore us during the day.Again, I didn't know if he had

(35:22):
a job or not. I justassume. I want to get assume he's
a watch list. I want togive some love to Bill who, Bill
who wrote this into the show hewanted to. He listens to the second
We appreciate you Bill, always followingthis part of the show that you like,
Hey, guys, how could Ihave this so wrong about the Denver
Nuggets earlier in the week. Thatwould hurt so bad. The Western Conference

(35:42):
games are absolutely killing me. Lakerssons at home worthless. Taking the Knicks
and Pacers before their series has helped, But not enough road teams are winning
and covering a lot in the NBAplayoffs. So Bill's been getting his butt
kicked. So I think he wantsus to fire off at Envy. A
wager tonight. The only problem Bill, it's the Pacers and the Knicks.

(36:04):
Levac has suffered heartbreak, Levac,do you want to go to Knicks?
Pacers? Is there something else onyour play of the day thanks to the
Mohawk Chevrolet, I have a pinstripparlay and I have a next kicker.
I have a ooh, I'm notlistening. I'm not scared, Okay.
And again, we're talking two tacos, maybe three tocos. We're not talking

(36:25):
about big money. It's that's whyyou do the parlays. It's a lower
risk, higher rewards. That's what'sgoing on here. That's what we're going
for. That's the aim, andthat's where I'm aname. What would you
like first, the pinstripeer of thekicker. I would like the kicker,
all right, Knicks kicker tonight.The only thing that kind of makes me
nervous is Nick's money line. Thisis the kind of game that if I'm

(36:50):
you, I probably leave that partout, okay, But I would take
Brunson over thirty four and a half. I would take Devin Chen's over thirteen
and a half, Heart over thirteenand a half a half, and the
one who burned me was ogi.I had him at thirteen. I dropped
it down at twelve and a half, a little shorter odds. That's okay,
this is the nixt kicker. SoNick's money line runs it over points

(37:10):
thirty four and a half and thenall points for Devin Chanzo and Heart thirteen
and a half, all points ogtwelve and a half. It's plus four
hundred and I actually happen to havea little booster in my account, so
it's up to plus five twenty.That's the next kicker. Okay, all
right, uh okay, I getthe did you say the Yankee one?

(37:35):
Did I miss the Yankee one?Was that not listening kicker? Here's the
you want the pin strip? Yeah? Yes, please, thank You's money
line Soto to get a hit,Stan to get a hit. I think
John Carlo is starting to wake upa little bit. And then Carlos wrote
down five plus strikeouts. So Yankeesmoney line Soto stand hits. Carlos rode
on five plus strikeouts. It's plusthree thirty eight. Okay, all right,

(38:00):
both they're gonna win tonight, whichis gonna put me back on the
right side. Be okay, Andagain we're talking like you know we're talking
five ten bucks. You don't gobig on ease little it's fun, gives
your reason to watch the game.You get the early satisfaction, hopefully of
a Sodo and Stanton hit. Thenyou get the middle of the game Rodeo
gets that fifth strikeout, and likethe third inning, fourth inning, and

(38:22):
then you get the winner at theend, you get it's one wager.
It keeps you interested in the entiregame. There you go both. I
don't usually i'll have some type ofopinion about your plays, whether I like
it, don't like it, orI've got nothing on your place today because
I feel like heartbreak could be onthe way for you. I think I
need a little bit more of ascouting report coming up in about like twenty

(38:42):
minutes as we preview Yankees astrous togive me a better read on that.
Uh. I know that's not greatradio, but I have nothing on your
place tonight. I have nothing toadd, so I will just selfishly move
on to Mimi me. It's allabout me. I'm trying to combine this
and I'm going to continue to tryto combine it. I'd been so hot
in hockey that here's what I'm gonnago with tonight. I'm gonna go with

(39:04):
a anytime goalscorer between Connor McDavid inEilers Canucks, which is plus one thirty
five, and Carter then de hackon the head who plays for the Florida
Panthers. He's at plus one eighty. That's my play now. I want
to combine it. But as ofright now, my phone was doing what
your phone was doing earlier in theweekend was refusal. Have we been blocked

(39:27):
in studio? Has someone been listeningto the plus? There's something going on
over there, I think because Inoticed that we were having we're having cable
issues the other day too. There'sdefinitely something going on in the building.
I would say that is my play. I would combine those now. Again
it's a action based parlay. Andyou know what I said about that earlier.
They're usually trying to get you someaction on that. But that is

(39:49):
my play plus five point fifty eight. Thank you Internet for coming to work
today. That is my play rightthere. Carter than to that and Connor
mcdai both scoring tonight. All right, I don't hate it. I don't
hate it. Let's go, let'shave some fun with these things. That's
what it's all about. Just somefun, money, having a good time,
just just a little bit, justsee see how it feels. So

(40:13):
there it is. Those are theplaces today that brought to you by Mohague
Chevrolet. Just off acted twelve ofthe Northway, Mohague Chevy where they always
go out of their way to pleaseyou. Together, let's driving Mawauk Chevrolet.
I do I feel I feel Ifeel pretty confident, Like I do.
I feel I feel like we're ontosomething. I feel like I've been
so close you know what I mean, like just to lose by one pitch,

(40:36):
lose by by one foul, loseby just you know again they're all
losses, you know, they don'tIt's not like it's not like uh,
