Episode Transcript

(00:00):
It's Lavak and Guzz on ninety fivenine Fox Sports Radio. I like the
random times that Gods gets like preppy, you know, like I do.
I'd probably do seventy percent of theprep on this show. Goz does thirty.
They can go. You can gohigher if you want. All right,
I do ninety nine percent right now. Well, it's like you're they

(00:21):
got you run in like four stationsnow, stuff like that. And it's
always just been like when it wasArmored and Levac, I did the prep
and then Armo will come in andtell me why it sucks. And then
when it was Lavack and Guzz,well then when it before it was Lavac
and Gazz, it was me andwhoever you know was sitting over there yelling
at me or ignoring me, andthen it was you know, with you.
I've just always done all the prep. So once in a while Gods

(00:43):
will be like, oh, youknow, look back, looks busy isn't
filled in yet, and he'll havesome stuff. I like being compared to
pro athletes. I like when youI look on here and say, like
this guy in Levac are a lotof like like, so, who are
you trying to say? I'm I'mlike, and how is this happening?
Yeah? And NBA ten plus yearveteran, a rising star in the league.

(01:03):
All these teasers are gonna pay offbecause it could be a future GM
A head coach. That's JJ Reddickin Levac. I gotta say this about
JJ Reddick. He's got a littlething that you'd like to do. A
little heel to him. He's coming, He's confident in his opinions, will
back it up and won't back down. And if you want to come out

(01:23):
of he has no problem going atyou. On social media, there's a
lot of I think you got athree point shot, like the young Redick
at Duke I used to very nice. That's nice. I can't. I
can't shoot in the gym though,dude, because in the middle of the
hoops, in the middle of nowherefreaks me out. Man. You put
me like an old you put meat the mug over at South County,
the Multi Usable Gymnasium, I'll rockyour world. You put me on the

(01:46):
floor at MVP Arena, like whenI played against the Harlem Globetrotters that one
time, and I feel like I'mlike in the middle of nowhere, just
throwing the ball in the ocean.Well, no, I want to see
all of that. I forgot youwere a former member of the Washing in
generals, by the way, aswe always as we as we say,
yeah, once a general, alwaysa general. There's one other comparison to

(02:07):
JJ Reddick. Now right now,you're not doing what JJ Reddick was criticized
for, and it's ours. It'sour lead in, Colin Coward, who
knows. Maybe this will become anew thing in the future. The heard
rewind. Here's what Colin Coward hadto say about JJ Reddick's future in the
league. In notice, if youhear something similar to what Levac does,

(02:28):
Reddick's got an interesting look. Collaredshirt backwards, hat didn't add up.
I didn't hear a word, Lebronsaid. I couldn't stop staring at the
hat. JJ Reddick's going for NBAhead coaching jobs. He looks like a
guy who's gonna move my couch.Didn't like it. I would tell JJ
to his face. I'm like,dude, you're going to be an executive
in this league. You're going tobe a high level executive or coach,

(02:49):
bro whatever. You guys can goahead and push back on that stuff.
I didn't like it. My opinion, my show, our show. I
didn't. I can't do I can'tjust I don't like that. Look at
all you are going to be anNBA coach. He's one of the most
serrebe guys in the world talking basketball. Literally, he's so layered beyond he's
like a great He's Christopher Nolan inHollywood. He is directing at a different
level. JJ Reddick is talking backto the ball at a different level.

(03:10):
And look at this guy. Soyou know what this take has done for
me. I almost will never wearmy hat backwards because I know that you've
said this take. Yeah, AndI'll see you and I'll tell bosses.
I don't think he's a He's notthat guy. But if you want somebody
to clean out your garage, hirehim. I don't vac is someone who
wears their hat backwards and a presidentof a professional franchise. What do you

(03:32):
make of Colin Calhert taking shots atJJ Reddick's I mean, it's it's uh,
it's kind of typical, you knowwhat I mean. It's it's you
know, I feel sorry for him. I do. I feel sorry for
oh Colin. Yeah, because listenwhen you when you exude confidence, when
you exude leadership, I can walkinto a room wearing a two two and

(03:55):
I'm gonna take it over. Itdon't matter. I don't need to be
sitting in a three piece suit uncomfortableto get your respect. And by the
way, I don't need your respect. I have the respect of the people.
I need. My team respects me. My front off is respect,
my head coach respect. I don'tneed Colin Cowherd's respect, cow heard,

(04:16):
I don't need it. And JJReddick he don't need it either. Highly
sought after that dude's gonna be ableto write his own check. Where does
he want to go? Does hewant to do media? Does he want
to do non traditional media? Theold man in the three successful his podcast,
He's what cow Herd said I thinkis totally true. He speaks differently
about the game, almost intimidating topeople who have done it for a long
time. Does he want to bea coach? Does he want to be

(04:38):
a GM He could do a lotof things. I don't believe we have
hit the point though, with NBAexecutives and decision makers. I'll say that
JJ Reddick's gonna walk into an interviewand they're gonna say, you know what,
the hat was backwards on the podcast. It's got to go not the
not the watch into the interview withthe hat on backs that go be a
thing. He's tapering a podcast.He's not showing up to the interview with

(05:00):
the backwards hat on. He's notcoaching him up with the backwards hat on.
Like I understand what Coward's trying todo with the point, but it's
a podcast. He's taping it withLebron Lebron's hats on front. Okay,
fine, Like if Colin Coward tocome out and said, look, JJ
Reddick has never coached ever, andpeople are trying to say she'd be the

(05:25):
coach of the Lakers. Enough.I don't know who JJ reddicks agient is,
but if you're telling me he's aboutto go for me guy who's doing
media to coaching the Lakers, thatseems like an extreme jump. There's about
four or five gigs in sports ascoaches that are the holy grail of coaching
jobs, no particular order. Lakers, Celtics, Yankees, Cowboys. That's

(05:48):
about it, i'd say in prosports. Anything else on there Yankees,
Cowboys, Celtics, Lakers are thewhatever you're doing, you drop everything and
do it and take that gig.Brad Stevens did it for the Celtics,
Coach k almost did it for theLakers. Barry Switzer, Jimman Johnson,
we can go on and on.Those are the gigs you drop everything for
and do And JJ Redick's gonna getone of those gigs for never being a

(06:10):
coach before. That's a fair criticism. Not he's got his hat on backwards
taping a podcast, So now it'sa turnoff free what come on? Well,
it's always but that's always been Cowhard'sthing, Like he backwards hat guy
is like his mortal enemy. Andit's funny because I think back and I
was wearing a backward hat the twotimes I met him, and the one

(06:34):
time where he actually stopped his show, because that was back when he was
on ESPN U and the top beveryI would be like, yeah, blah
blah blah this station then ESB andyou and everybody would have to put up
with you. And I'm just inthe back of the control room. I
don't think you can see me.I don't put up the U I don't
think I'm part of it. I'mlike, I honestly was like, I

(06:55):
would love to put up you,but I don't feel like I'm entitled to
it. I'm not part of theshow. He stopped the show. He's
like that guy didn't put up toyou. We're doing it again, and
I'm just like, all right,I put up to you. He's all
right better and he did the show. But like, I've had a backward
hat on that time too. Iwas trying to be respectful. I think
when it comes down to that,I wish I was there for that because

(07:15):
your co host's arm and he said, tell me that story, that story,
and then like somebody was in hisear all the time. He's a
different cat. Cow hurt yeah him. Well, you think about the two
times two of the times I wentthere. One was that one and the
other time was when green that Greeneyhated me for for years because I shook
his hand with a hashtag hand handshakemistake. He remember me for a year.

(07:36):
It was it was literally a yearlater. Guys did not believe me
that he was gonna remember me.We walked into a production meeting for Mike
and Mike in the morning, andGreenberg turned around and looked at me and
went like, I was just mortallike new Man because I because I shook
his hand one time instead a fistbump. I was fell out of my

(08:00):
share when that happened. It wasweird but awesome. I but you know
what, it's funny because this ishow I live and it works. It
works for me. I don't needa job that tells me I can't wear
my hat backwards. I don't needit. I've made it through. I've
made it to forty freaking seven wearingmy hat backwards. I'm not going to
turn around now. Kangvrey Junior wasdoing this in the mid nineties. That's

(08:22):
the first athlete I can remember thattook heat about doing practice because the batting
practice. But like Kangarvy Junior wasthe coolest athlete in the nineties and I
was like, WHOA, he's thekid. He's cool, He's doing stuff
different. That was a part ofhis brand. I don't know if anyone
when I think about backwards hatt andsports, I think of Kangraffey Junior.
That's the first athlete. Well,I guess Baker and JJ and Cowhard and

(08:43):
Okay, So I know we talkedabout the Arena Football League earlier, but
no one else has ever gettiven youcriticism, right, Like, I know
I just did the cowhard thing,But I think this is really a good
piece of advice for young executives,people who want to be team presidents and
director of DA relations and going forjobs and working in media, whatever it
might be. It feels like thesociety and culture has changed that someone might

(09:05):
dress more like a sports fan orbe more casual, right these like gosh,
what's the name of the stuff SiliconValley, Yeah, that's it,
Silicon Valley workplaces where they have likepinball machines. I saw on an Instagram
video somebody's playing beer pong at work. But it was just like water cups.
Nobody's given you for the fire Birdsor the Empire or the NAL or

(09:26):
the Arena Football the grief about yourstyle, right, Like, did they
ever give you a grief about notwearing a sports code or not where the
type coward wants to be? Onetime, really one time, and it
was and they didn't have the gutsto say it to me. It was
the awards banquet in twenty two,which we did the Aubany Capital Center.

(09:48):
I had. I was putting togetheras I as I was, as I
was known to do at this point, putting together a full week of events
for the league, running my team, and then we had Mike and I
Mike corn I had to build theawards banquet that nobody told us about all
this stuff. I walked in ina polo shirt and a hat and one

(10:13):
Executive of the Year, and whenI left with the ball, I heard
everybody, Oh, you know,it's craft. He didn't wear a suit.
Everyone wore a suit. Whatever.I'm like, maybe if you guys
worried a little less about suits alittle more about paying your players and winning
football games. This football that saysExecutive of the Year would have went home
with you. So then from thereon out, every time I walked into

(10:35):
a room with the commissioner of thatleague and anyone else, I would put
my hat on. I know itsounds like a story of criticism, like,
man, that sucks. That wasa cool moment, but people were
hating on me when I did it. I hope it felt like you were
a badass when he did it,Like you win the award and then you
walk through the line of haters.Of course I'm going to wrestling here.

(10:56):
I think it like John Cena inec W the old Hammerstein Ball Ballroom at
six where he holds up the trophyabove his head and the ECW fans are
booing him and trying to spit on. I can imagine Levac like shorts ball
in hand, watching all these suitswalk by, be like you're looking at
the champ like that must have beena great moment, realizing I did it

(11:16):
my way, you did it yourway. And look who's walking out with
the best Executive of the Year.The dude who won Executive the Year had
a hat on backwards wearing a poloshirt. And the dude who won MVP
of that season was the first evernon quarterback to do it, and that
was Darius Prince. And while theywere doing our pictures to put on the
websites and everything else, we're justlike, hey this cause Janas, heyus

(11:39):
cause Yanas. It's it's the goatin the backwards hat, oh, goat
in the fat man like whatever itwas, it was, it was great.
Well, you know what the otherthing, too, is like sometimes
when I see like you Brough SilconeValley When I see the backwards hat in
certain situations, when I see thethe board shorts instead of the boards boardroom
suit, I think of the Gambler. You ever see that movie with Mark

(12:01):
Wahlberg and John Goodman. No,so Goodman's like a bookie. Wahlberg is
a gambler. And there's a pointwhere Goodman tells Wahlberg to get out of
gambling. He's like, you winthis much, you win a million dollars,
that's bleep you money. He goes, you know what bleep you money
is. You buy a house,you put one hundred year roof on it,

(12:22):
and bleep you. You don't needanyone, you don't care about anyone.
When you can just do what youwant to do and get your job
done or maybe have more or havebleep you money, you can wear a
hat backwards, Colin, keep saving, you might get there one day.
Go jj reddick, go get yourselfa gig. JJ. I know you
were spating with an lo ol andLebron wrote back and said he's mad,

(12:46):
hayting, he's mad upset about it. You know what, maybe Coward got
what he wanted out of this.He just got us to talk about it
in our five o'clock to get itout of Friday. But I wanted to
address it because JJ rex got abig future in the league and gosh,
he's got over a million views talkingabout this backward hat story. Uh.
I don't know if Tim or Frankor Victor have worn a backwards hat.

(13:07):
I think Frank did the last time. I don't think he'll get backward.
He keeps it front. But whetherit's backwards or frontwards, we both respect
everybody. Over to usx pest Control, Yeah, you know we do,
because they we went to usxpest dotcom schedule that free inspection came through,
showed us all the places where thingsare happening, like this is gonna be
a problem spot, this was,this is, here's this, here's that.

(13:28):
Here's our plan to combat it.It's the non chemical exclusion package to
the back. We're gonna seal upthis old house heres and not let anything
get in and cause problems. Andthen we're coming back with the platinum package
where you tell us where the problemsare, we go look at him.
We're coming through. We're keeping arecord of what we've taken care of,
what needs to be taken care of, whether it be the Platinum package.

(13:50):
Just getting all the mosquitoes and ticksand nescas out of your yard, whatever
it is. Go to usxpest dotcom. Schedule that free inspection two day
do it. Put the free inspectionon usx pessto trope. Become a member
of the Platinum Packet to get itfor mom Levac right, just don't tell
her marriage is fine. I thinksome people are gonna be upset about this
being about holidays and more the NFL. Are they trying to ruin a sacred

(14:13):
down the calendar or they try toruin fans. We'll talk about next year
in the Voice of the Capitol RegionSports Fan Fox Sports ninety five nine and
nine eighty. It's Lavak and Gozon ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio.
That's a great touchdown. Um,is nothing sacred in this world. There

(14:37):
is nothing above football. I mean, does football make everything better somehow?
I mean, there has to besome things that are more important than football.
And if you ever figure out whatthey are, don't tell me.
I don't care about them. Idon't care what. I was talking to
somebody the other day and I literallysaid or like something like, how do

(15:01):
you do what you do? I'mlike, well, I really only care
about three things, my daughter,football and radio. It's really only three
things I care about. And thenwow, good things, said your daughter.
First, I'm like, thank god. I mean it was it was
like a reflex. There was achance I would have went football, Like
there's a you never. I mean, it's a coin toss. Some days.

(15:22):
You don't have a teenager yet,like now she's twenty, she's it's
a whole nother world. My beautifuldaughter's back. The evil demon that replaced
her in her teens has been exercised. My beautiful daughter is back, who
I love very much. That thatteenage thing that was running around that was
frightening. Yeah, that was.And you got you got at least you

(15:43):
got boys. You know. Istill said I didn't make the cut on
your list there, I said,radio, you kind of matter, you're
I made you part of football inradio. I thought friends would have been
on there, and I don't reallyhave friends. Oh my god, that
acquaintances. This topic was going togo into Christmas Day and right, well,
have you ever spent Christmas Day together? No? We have? Have

(16:07):
we spent football games together? Yes? There you go, jerk, shut
up story coming from the Sports BusinessJournal and other outlets including you know what,
We'll cite him sure Barrett's Sports mediaJohn Olerutz, who's been to the
sports media Guru, is claiming thatthe reason why the NFL's schedule release did

(16:30):
not happen this week it is nowhappening next week is because a random Netflix
and no longer random. Reports aresaying that two of the Christmas Day game
scheduled will be on Netflix this year. So add it to the list of
Netflix, Amazon, Peacock, Fox, CBS, ESPN, NFL Network.

(16:52):
I've actually lost treks. I didn'tthink it was gonna be that high as
I went through it. Uh So, now Netflix the streamer. If you're
a football if you're a football fanlyback, you have to add another streaming
service to get games. How youdon't already have it. It's joking.
I mean, I'm I'm I'm jokingabout how important football is, but I'm

(17:15):
really not. And there is apart of me and it's reflex. It's
a reflex. It's part of mymy core code, like you know,
as your nerds would say, theprogramming. Because when you say that to
me, I think to myself,how dare they not make football readily available

(17:37):
to me in any way. Iwant it like it's football, it's supposed
it's one of my god given rightsto watch football. Like it's not like
that's how I feel about it.It's always been you know six ten thirteen
Fox, like you know ESPN,ESPN. When ESPN got involved, I
remember we had ESPN and my dadwas pissed off. Cable What is that?

(18:00):
What is that? How dare you? You didn't yell like that,
but it was that was what That'swhat did I said, that was what
he was er. But it's likethat was you added another channel and everybody
had Cable. Most people have Netflix. But I just I feel like it's
wrong to take it over there,like I feel I feel like it's like

(18:23):
if you want air, you haveto go in this room over here every
third Sunday. No I don't.I should. It's air you have to
give me. I'm allowed to havethat no matter what football is air to
me. Don't take it over toNetflix. How dairy? Netflix, I'm
not doing it. I'm not givingyou six ninety nine a month. It's
not gonna happen. Sadly, theevolution of my life. Let me take

(18:45):
the corporate side of what they werethinking when they decided to make this move.
You are such a sellout, andit's Tommy corporate move here. Okay,
let's say you're Netflix. You arebillions of dollars in debt, so
someone's gonna hear that. Wait asecond, what do you mean they're billions
of dollars in debt. Go throughthe history of Netflix of the last eight
years. Now, they definitely hada boost in COVID. COVID is the

(19:08):
best time Netflix has ever had.They should be getting Joe Exotic out of
jail for all the great things hedid for Netflix during COVID. But they've
been billions of dollars in debt yearafter year after year, and their philosophy
is we'll eventually make it up.We'll be fine, will be okay.
Maybe Netflix got to the point wherethey're like, you know, we do

(19:30):
need new subscribers. You know,maybe it was a bad idea to not
let this happen in Russia for noreason. We tried taking a political stance.
Hey, I know, we triedcracking down on passwords. That's not
working as well as we had hoped. Maybe we should just ease off a
little bit. So Netflix and Amazonfalls in the same category. Besides the

(19:51):
billions of dollars in debt that wasin the past of Amazon that they say,
Okay, what can we as acompany do to drive the most revenue
to our company? And if wehave to pay a million, five million,
ten million, whatever, the hugenumber is probably much higher than that.
And we think a million people aregonna sign up for Netflix to watch
this game. That's the best dealwe can do for content. It is.

(20:12):
Sports is still the best thing.It's been the best thing for a
decade plus. Now you can putall the Chappelle's Show specials you want on
there. You can bring back whatevercase of the Office I know that's Peacock.
You can bring back a House ofCards that had ninety five seasons of
Stranger Things, or whatever you wanton there. Orange is the new Black.
They're out of prison. Now.You can do any original comedies or

(20:34):
dramas or series that you want.But the thing that's gonna drive the most
mounting through these streaming services right nowin twenty twenty four is live sports.
Everybody knows it. It's no secret. So Netflix says, we think we
can make the most mounting to doin this. We're gonna pain to make
it happen. And here's what happensfor the NFL. And this is why
the NFL has been ahead of itthan anybody else, and why the NBA

(20:55):
still hasn't signed a deal yet,why Major League Baseball gets criticized for this.
They might have not done it perfectly, but they tried being cool,
not perfect, but close is thatthey said, oh, what about the
ratings? What about the ratings?You know what they say to the ratings.
They're paying us. We don't careif Netflix gets a million viewers,
twenty thousand viewers, five million viewers, you're paying us. We don't care.

(21:19):
We don't care. We got ourcheck. We're good. It's on
you guys now to figure out whatyou think the number is to make money
on it. So, yeah,it sucks that it's on Netflix. It
sucks it to another but the NFLdoes not care. That's what's I think
the status part. They're not tryingto make it easy and accessible for the
football fan. How funny is itthat the business that keeps me from using

(21:41):
the gym more than any other businessis now going by the gym model like
the gym. Your gym does notcare if you show up. It means
nothing to them. They'd prefer youdidn't. Just pay your pay your fees,
pay your due. Sorry, asI call it my fat insurance,
I'd pay my fat inshirts. Oneday, I will go and I'll cash
it on that. I'll actually goto ABC Sports and Fitness and I'll work

(22:03):
out with my guy Matt and theABC spartans and the special I'll work out
with my dudes. I go.I do like, I love that place.
I just it's way over there.And then there's television, and I
love television, and I have toclean out the DVR. So like now,
Netflix is basically your brain's gym.They don't care if you watch it.

(22:26):
Just pay your six ninety nine ortwelve nine nine or seventy five ninety
nine a month wherever the hell itis now, just pay your fees and
what do it and then go outside. They don't care. It's cos it
go touch grass, they don't care. Just pay your fees, the check
cleared, We're good. Yeah,you can watch thirty straight hours of Orange

(22:47):
is the New Black, or youcan forget you have a Netflix subscription.
They don't the money is in theirpocket now. And that's the thing with
the NFL, Like people can argueand say this is terrible for the product,
they'll never recover. How can theymake it so well for football fans?
And I do believe it, likenot doing a great job of putting
that proct in front of a footballfan. But here's what the NFL does.
And I think some people are savvyenough to understand this, especially on

(23:07):
Christmas Day if you are. Andwe have to figure out the Netflix game
is going to be on Christmas Day, Christmas Day, two of them.
Two Netflix playoff games. No.No, two Christmas Day, two Christmas
Day games on Netflix, both ofthem. Okay, all right, so
two Christmas, two games, twodifferent games, different time slots, correct

(23:29):
on Netflix on Christmas Day. That'sthe rumor floating around the Grinch who stole
my Christmas. I don't even havepeople over anymore, that's the rumor.
I just watch football on bat allday. And I believe the other rumors
that two playoff games will now beone Amazon one Peacock. But Hulu has
the live sports. I don't knowwhat Baker Mayfield told me. I don't

(23:51):
know what they're dragging their feet on. I don't know if that's a I
don't like any of this ABC Disneysituation. So that's the thing, Like
this is never going to stop.Like all we can do is stop our
feet and complain that we have tosign up for a streaming service. You
talked about the cable example earlier thatthere's another rumor out there that this power
site is coming called Spleu Lou.That that's the rumor name s p U

(24:15):
l U where it's all the sportsin one channel everything they basically Warner brob
They call it that we have aproblem. That's that's what I've heard it
being called. I love like asI as I've explained to you before,
and you called it like right away. I was like, I just I
need I need all the streaming servicesto like work with one group. We'll

(24:41):
call it Love Action Media. Andthen we're gonna what we're gonna do is
you could you come to us andyou're like, well, I really want
to see Orange is New Black,which you brought up six times? How
many times have you watched it?I want to see sports. I want
to see this, and then wecherry pick from all all the pay services,
the Hulu's, the Netflix, thePeacocks, the Rama, Lama ding

(25:06):
Dong's YouTube live, whatever, andwe give you the package you want for
a certain price, which you said, that's cable, and I said,
that works. That's what I want. I don't care how you get it
to me. If you want toget to me through the ethernet cable,
that's fine. Here's why I don'tthink Splu Lou is going to work because
the name that name is when youwhen you somebody, there was a meeting

(25:32):
and they went all right, everybody, bring in your new ideas. And
they got are like, all right, Thomas, what do you got?
You're like, uh, And youlook around and you see Hulu, you
see this week, you see thatsplew Actually, yeah, spl is gonna
be help with it? What's sprewlo? And like you go kauise yourselves
to anything like sports? See mesports, all the sports, all the
sports in one place, but skippedto my loose is gonna be the name

(25:52):
of it. It's gonna be great. Genius Tommy Corporate right this way,
kid, you've got the ideas weneed, We're gonna give you more jobs
first for splits. That's right.Wait, a second here for sports fans,
that's all they want. Yes,it'd be great to watch your different
shows. If you want to watchthe Bear, you want to watch something
else, wonderful, But really whatit is the sports fans want one outlet

(26:17):
to watch everything. So the rumorsthat it's gonna be fourteen networks combined,
so like NBC, everybody right,one ultimate sports world. Here's why it's
never gonna work because of what justhappened involving Netflix and the rumor it's gonna
happen on Netflix and Amazon everybody else. They say, okay, guys,
we're all gonna come together because wedon't want to keep out bidding each other.

(26:38):
FanDuel and DraftKings did this almost adecade ago, where it's like,
let's stop competing against each other,let's all come together for the common good
of sports fans. And then somebodyreally rich is gonna be like, you
know what, No, I wantthe money for myself and I want you
to go figure it out. Sorry, I'm richer than you. This is

(27:00):
called a business. Go kick rocksover here. We're gonna dominate Amazon,
Disney, Google. They're gonna saywe don't need you, We're gonna continue
to do what we do because it'sbetter business for us. Sorry, you
stink at what you do? Whywould we come? That's what hasn't happened
yet. It could come in thefall. Egos could be put aside.
But I feel like it's too wishfulthinking even for sports fans to believe we're

(27:22):
gonna have one super sports network whereall this stuff is all gonna be watched
all the same unless you have someillegal way to do it. But I
don't think SPOOLU will ever happen.I think it's like the Live Golf.
It's like live golf in the PGA. It sounds really nice that they're eventually
gonna come together, that is getto happen. It sounds like the XFL
and other leagues like we're gonna goto no So sorry, sports fans,

(27:45):
I'm a little skeptical about the ultimatesports channel on the way in the future.
And Netflix try to not lose billionsof dollars again, Mmm, yeah,
or do who cares? I mean, do what you want? Who
who am I to tell you howto live? I don't have any money.
I don't even have Netflix think aboutthat. We just we just did
fourteen minutes off Blu Lou in theFuture of Sports, how to consume it?

(28:07):
And now that we never really answeredthe question of like, do we
like games on Christmas Day? Ilove games on Christmas Day? I do.
That's what I'm saying, Like,as much as I want to sit
here and pretend that, well,Christmas is more important. It's the birth
of baby Jesus, and it's achance for me and my family to get
together, exchange gifts and break bread. I don't see my family anymore on

(28:30):
Christmas. They're all busy. Theygot stuff going on in their own lives.
I don't. I'm busy. Idon't have kids anymore. My daughter's
twenty. They get up, theyopen up whatever I gave them. I
make breakfast, they eat that,and then they go away. And then
I watched I watched Splu Lou allday. I don't want to tell you
what I actually call Splulu. It'snot what you think it is at all.
It's very different. Maybe it wason my windshield this morning, was

(28:52):
all with that coming on. Ifthat was the logo just Splu Lou.
I was like, you know what, let's let's talk about that. But
before we close out the show.Before we get in to a Friday edition
of The Dump, let's talk aboutLilian David Fine Juliers. Guys, I'm
so sorry a sandwich between my fartnoises and The Dump. What Lillian David

(29:15):
has been one of the best sponsorsof this show from the beginning, and
this is what they've been reduced to. But you know what, if you're
driving around the Capitol Region right nowand you're here in this nonsense, reset
the GPS to the shops at Wilton. Are you driving around realizing Sunday is
Mother's Day? Have you bought anythingfor your mom, your wife, your
fiance, the mother of your children. Lillian David Fine Juliers can help you

(29:38):
find the gift for mom. Guys, don't overthink this. You know tomorrow's
probably gonna be the day we startto scramble. Shops in Wilton's a family
owned an operated business. You wantto support businesses like this across the Capital
Region and great people like Alyssa andDavid and Tammy and Gee, people that
I've worked with the last time Iwas stopped at Lillian David find Julier's nights.
Wonderful pair Veerians, My wife waslooking for. Gee, helped me

(29:59):
out with that. A LISTA withthe engagement ring and the anniversary gifts,
push gifts, Mother's Day gifts andmore. They have all those things that
you're looking for for her. Iget it. You probably don't know what
type of jewelry she wants that she'sgonna like get compliments on. That's why
you go to Lillian David Fine Julius. They've heard the stories before, they've
worked with me. Isn't that enough? Isn't that enough? He's they figured

(30:21):
it out for me. I tothis day, almost six years of marriage,
still getting compliments on her ring,still getting compliments on her irigans and
more. And Lilian David Fine Jeelierscan help you do it this Mother's Day
as well. Get some great formom, Get some great for your wife,
the mother of your kids, whoeverit might be. At Lilian David
fin Julius, the shops that whenwe stop in tell me. Heard about
it from Lavack and Guys on FoxSports ninety five nine and nine eighty.

(30:44):
Very very good coming up. It'sjournalism. I can prove it right here
on Fox Sports Radio ninety five nineand ninety eighty. It's Lavak and Guzz
on ninety five nine Fox Sports RadioLive in the GG Toy Studio. That's
toys with the it is it istime for the dump, Big Steamers.

(31:06):
Today of a dump. I cantell you that right now. Today started
with a dump for me, Likeyou know, we end the show where
everything that like and if you don'tknow, sure, sure we're childish.
But the NFL was always for famousfor the four thirty Friday news dump,
where you dump your bad stories fourthirty on a Friday. And I hope

(31:27):
that by the time everybody comes backto work on Monday, they've forgotten about
it. That's what. So that'swhat the dump is, all right,
there's there's some there's something to it. It's not just us making a poop
joke, all right. These arebig time journalists. We are yesterday we
said we were in Big Jay andthe dump. We still aren't, but
we thought it was a good names. There's rationale behind it. It's not

(31:48):
it's not gross like you tried tosay it was, Linda. I don't
know, I don't I don't evenknow Linda. But after saying all that,
I today started with a monster dumpfor not me personally, one of
the birds in my neighborhood. Idon't know if it's alive. Like,

(32:08):
I just don't know if if thisthing is alive. I laughed, not
because the potential death of the bird, but because I saw the picture and
I think that's a very well describedsituation that happened to you. Today.
I get out, you know,go about my business. Kids are away,
so I will live a bachelor lifestyle, having a blast, go out
hoping the hopping Scarjoe, my belovedblack widow Silverado. And there is a

(32:34):
massive steamer right on the windshield withfeathers and such in it, like it
was like a bird ate a bird, and then dookieat on my truck.
And if somebody says it's good luck, so help me God, I will
find it and I will give itto you and you can have all the
luck you want. Whoever was thatboyfriend or a husband or guy who was
trying to dance some girl when thebird originally crapped on their heads, Oh

(32:57):
it's good luck. Good for youmaking that last all these years, you
know, just one random guy setand it stuck around. You sent me
the picture. Usually this would bethe time where I'd say make sure you
post it on Fox Sports and socialmedia, but this one stays in your
phone. For the decency of ourpage, please keep that in your phone.
Boston, Dan, I didn't knowyou guys had terodactyls in your neighborhood.

(33:19):
Me. We pay more on ourtaxes for the Jurassic experience. It
was that. It was, itwas. It was. Here's the best
worst part. It didn't smear,you know, like when you do the
wipers, you're like, oh,no, here we go. This is
gonna be a I'm gonna have togo right to the car wash, not
just right off. So there wasa there was a bird flying around the

(33:42):
area that probably ate another bird andthen was doing a whole person dumps.
Yes, I think that's pretty accurate. I think that's a as best as
you can describe it. Expected tolook over the tree in my front yard
just see a bird sitting. They'relike, wow, I mean a little
more our time before I fly awayfrom that one. I couldn't get that

(34:04):
far, all right. Tell you, that's that's how my day started.
What a crappy day? Huh?Yes, that's how your day started.
But for some day, maybe startedlate late last night or maybe Thursday,
and it ended with this the postgamepress conference for Mavericks thunder. If you
thought that bird doing what it didto Lavasport vehicle is bad and hard to
describe, can you help me describewhat happened during the postgame press conference.

(34:28):
Here's some of the audio with thestar for the Mavericks, Luka don at
the postgame press conference. I'm justhow sharing the ball and our energy was.
Wait, what do you think?Okay? His face is classic?
Let's play one more time? Somebodyhave heard that again? Right around that
two second count one tune here waswait, what do you think? Okay?

(35:00):
I love the reporter Okay, Luca'sface is phenomenal, Like he's never
heard that before. Like, whatis that sounds? It's crazy, that's
got it. That's a teammate,right, that's a prank. Oh wow,
I was gonna ask you what doyou think it was? He went
quickly to the teammate prank, Likeif you were doing an interview and I

(35:20):
wanted to mess with you, Igo on the back of the room,
I pull up a website or anapp or whatever at play and then watch
you try to get through a pressconference. Well, Debbie does the back
row is playing on my phone?If that's what happened, what a great
prank, right, I'm just tryingto feast together. How much more difficult

(35:42):
it would be because maybe well,the Mavericks were on the road, so
maybe they don't know that postgame situationlocker room media setting as well. If
it was the home team, thenmaybe it was after a victory. Uh
yeah, wait a minute, areyou telling me that was celebratory, not
on the thing. I was likea little magic Johnson. I to take
that one, that one and thatone. I don't think it was.

(36:06):
I don't think that was a liveaudio. I don't think it was a
teammate. My guess was going tobe somebody in the media section had something
connected to like a camera or theirphone, and they had been watching earlier,
yes, and they forgot to liketurn like pop back up when they
turned their phone off exactly right,like they didn't have their phone on airplane

(36:27):
mode. The teammate pranks sounds great, but I don't think the microphones would
have picked it up that easily.Maybe they would have if they know that,
I guess, so, well,right, here's the other here's here's
nothing right, What was that?That was a ten o'clock tip? Ten
o'clock tip? All right, sogame's over two hours usually too, So

(36:47):
now it's was that get out ofthe one o'clock already one o'clock. Maybe
there's a cop. People work inthe building. The don't really know.
There's a new schedule there used toeverybody being out of the building by that
time, looking around like, hey, how you doing, Linda? Linda's
back again. I don't know whatLinda's problem is and uh and then she's
like, I've always thought about thisrole, wol and he's like, let's

(37:08):
go hammer down just Tonian closet.Luca reacted perfectly. That's why he said,
I think if you go all over, he like goes, I hope
that isn't live. Oh is thatwhat he said? That's what he said,
Okay, because some sites have misquotedhim, and I think some sites
because of his little bit of anaccent, and said I hope that's not

(37:29):
life. No, I think hesaid I hope that's not live. I
think that's what he said too.Some people thought he said I hope that's
not life as in some type ofreference, like I hope they're not making
life like a baby. I lovethat. Like, we we're such idiots
as Americans. We hear a Germanaccident, we're like, that's probably how
they say it. The Germans probably, Oh, you have made life,

(37:49):
have you not? No? No, I didn't. Would you like it?
You liked life? You've made Huh? I hear she's very good at
life? What the cereal? Theboard game? What are you talking about?
I'm glad he knew it was Germanimmediately because I know he's from Slovenia,
but I didn't know what language theyspoke in Slovenia. I didn't know
he's from Slovenia. I just knewhe spoke German. Did I say Slovenian
not Slovenia. You don't remember heused to when he would do free throws.

(38:14):
Yeah, he would sing Hasselhoff inhis head. And David Hasselhoff's recording
career only popular in Germany. Sothat's how you tied. Okay, So
Slovenia. I don't know why Ithrew a Slovenia. I don't know why
I threw a random a in there. Slovenia. Allegedly the language spoke in
Slovenia is Slovenian, so he couldknow German. You're right, I think

(38:36):
it's German. Okay, I thinkand I think Slovenia is. Isn't that
like a dry and flaky skin betweenyour toes or something? A long on
Slovenia. Oh bad case of Slovenia. I'm gonna need some doctor Scholz for
the Slovenia I got going on rightnow. For whatever reason, while you're
describing Slovenia as a potential disease orproblem, I thought about those two people

(38:57):
who talk about the armpit stuff andspraying themselves, who usually airs on this.
I've got whole body yodorant because I'ma smelly pig. Like, dude,
we're all smelly pigs. Stop it. Nobody needs to know that you're
all body yodorant. Nobody needs it. We all know you know what deodorant?
You know what? You know whatthey used to call all bodied deodorant,

(39:20):
guys, shower deodorant. Just putit in other places, like there's
a I've never seen a direction onmy you know, speed stick or old
spice or whatever. It's like onlyusing your armpits. It's like, dude,
