Episode Transcript

(00:03):
I just wasted a four. Ihope you're happy. Oh no, I
just wait before I thought you hadthe mic on ye had the mic four.
That's what you get. Top fourfour four biggest stories in the world
of sports. It's brought by moawKanda, where they always go out of
the way to please you. Gods, go ahead, give the fourth biggest
story. I thought my headphones weretoo loud. I was hitting a lot
of buttons at once, and thengosh, how dare you well back?

(00:25):
We can dive deeper into seed legto in the next fifteen to twenty minutes.
The NFL schedule comes out tonight.Question mark the second consecutive NFL story.
I just had it air quotes andquotation marks. I say that because
Netflix last week. The rumor wasthat that was the reason it didn't come
out last week because Netflix wanted twoChristmas Day games. It's more and more
leaks come out, and social mediamight be the best spot for you to

(00:48):
find it. Before the NFL schedulesofficially released at eight o'clock tonight. Netflix
announced today that it will stream twoNFL games, confirming the report from last
week. Those two games will bethe Kansas City Chiefs at the Pittsburgh Steelers
and the Baltimore Ravens at the HoustonTexans. Some really good teams right there
in that mix, Levak, whatother well, you know, I'll save
that for about fifteen minutes. Whatdo you make of those two Netflix games?

(01:11):
Chiefs at Steelers, Ravens at Texans? Was it worth waiting a week
for? And in some reports we'resaying, is it worth paying one hundred
and fifty million dollars a game for? How else can I watch them?
Because I'm not I'm knocking it's Christmas. They're good games. I like the
games. I'm very excited. Iwould like to watch those games. But

(01:33):
now I gotta lie in the sandagainst Netflix. They don't line on the
sands. I just don't know why. I'm not. I'm not doing it.
I'm not. I'm not gonna doit. Here's the part I forgot
about with Christmas Day games. I'mlike, oh, Christmas Day, that'll
be great. That'll be a Christmasis on a Wednesday. Yeah, how
are your piecing that thing together?You know what? I want to see

(01:55):
how this puzzle comes together. Ourguy, Matt Verdi ram overt fan Sided
Sports illustrated Stacking the Box podcast.He does everything fantastic NFL Rader he is
under the assumption right now because ofthe Wednesday Christmas Day schedule. Nothing's official
yet, but he believes the KansasCity Chiefs will play on Wednesday, Thursday,

(02:16):
Friday, Saturday, Sunday, andMonday this season. The only day
the Chiefs will not play on isa Tuesday this year, and that's if
everything goes as planned, because we'vehad that hat before. Right, Well,
there's a snowstorm, Lets back themup to Tuesday. That's crazy.
Yeah, Wednesday does You're gonna they'regonna have to use the bye week,

(02:36):
right, They're gonna have to putsome by weeks around. I would like
to say yes, but I thinkthose answers will be figured out later on
unless you use Thursday night football too, like maybe Thursday football the week before
that and then going to the nextweek normally like, no, you need
a bye week? No, yeah, because you get a longer you get
a break, basically going to thenext week. One other thing to note
about these Christmas Day games and isconsecutive season that the Chiefs and the Ravens

(03:00):
have played on Christmas Day. Nowhat a gift to all of us.
Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson is docking. I don't want to. I don't
want to whine for our fellow mediabrethren, but I know if you covered
the Chiefs on a daily or theRavens, you're probably like, no,
please, at least I don't haveto do work on Christmas again. No,
hold on, Yeah, if youcomplain about watching football as your job,

(03:23):
just just go away. Just There'sso many things I want to say,
but just like, oh no,I have to watch football on Christmas,
Like, oh no, you havethe worst job ever. I'm talking
production team engineers, you know,on field, facility, beat writers.
I got it's your job. It'syour jobs. Again, it's not somebody
can plain about. But I guaranteethey were rooting against the Christmas. What
am I going to do all summerwhen there's nothing to do? When we

(03:47):
want a story? Number three here, it's a Major League Baseball action after
an action on a Wednesday, theOrioles take down the Blue Jays three to
two. How to walk off homerun for the Oriols today, Boy,
I like that. Adley and Iare best friends. Restaurant. I love
him. Left handed switch hitting catcherwho's fast. Great win for the Orioles

(04:08):
three to two final over Toronto Marlins, Marlin's two nothing over the Tigers,
and ten to the final Brewers overthe Pirates. Other games of note tonight
include the Guardians and Rangers rolling onwith their series. That's at eighth five
for his pitch raised in Red Sox, Cubs and Braves, and the New
York Yankees taking on the Minnesota Twins. Levek, did you see the stat

(04:30):
that I shared with you? Youprobably didn't because I just realized that a
lot. I didn't actually share thestat with you. Over the last one
hundred and sixty two games that theTwins and Yankees have played against one another,
this is the record of the Yankeesover the Twins. Postseason included.
I leave the states back to twothousand and two, the Yankees are one
hundred and eighteen and forty four againstthe Minnesota Minnesota. I knew the storyline

(04:55):
in the series is like, Wow, the Yankees have really owned the Twins,
especially in the postseason. That takesit to another extreme. That's luckily
there's two of them twins, sothat's you know, fifty losses for each
That's that's not how that works.I think so. I think it's math.
It's a twin. What's the twins? Two? There you go.
I believe the name Thomas means twin, and I don't have a twin.

(05:16):
One person could be that hairy.Do you have any other storyline from twins
a gang? Because I'm not sureQueen got a pack show? Do you
have anything else you'd like to sayabout John Carlos Stanton hitting missiles? H
did you see the love fast betweenCarlos ronan And and John Carlos Stanton.
He's thrown everything was strict, Yeahhim and then yeah, man twenty could

(05:41):
be coming back. He could begoing over the walloom you two. Yeah,
you're making me uncomfortable. But youkeep playing the way you played yesterday
and I'll out it. We moveon to story number two. The Colorado
Avalanche take on the Dallas Stars.Levak no Ranger action quite yet, and
overall a great night for New Yorkfans because the Boston Bruins continue forree two

(06:03):
Game six, the Bruins stay alive. The Rangers play in a few days
oilers over the Canucks. That seriesnow tied up to a piece. Can
you imagine the Rangers right now tomorrowthey play by the way they say few
days, Yeah, you've been youplayed like poopy, like just nasty poopy,
worst game you've played in a verylong time. And you get a
STU for a couple of days,Stu, poopy, poopy STU. That's

(06:25):
what you had to do. Rangersare gonna come out, think about aggressive
next game. That'll be a verygood game. So that's gonna be a
Rangers on Thursday, Nix on Friday. I brought up Avalanche Stars because that's
a teas for later on in thishour as well. I have my eye
on that one for the play ofthe day. Curious what Lavaca has.
Sometimes I can get a read onhim what he wants to do for his
play of the day in the topfour to four, But right now I
got nothing. I'm like playing pokeragain. It's not an option. And

(06:48):
we move on to story number one. It is two games in the NBA
tonight. One can end a seriesand the other were guaranteed the game six
that one we're guaranteed the game sixfour. The Dallas Mavericks the Oklahoma City
thunder Thunder benefit from the horrendous freethrow shooting by the Mavericks at fifty two
percent. I guarantee you I couldgrab a Cyo team here and they could

(07:09):
hit fifty two percent from the line. I get they're tired. Have the
coach run this fifty two percent inan NBA game? Are you kidding me?
Anyways, the Thunder at home tonightin Game five, they can extend
potentially this series and potentially their season, but again, they'll need two more
victories over Dallas, Oklahoma favored byfour and a half in that game.
The Thunder from Oklahoma City four anda half point favorite Celtics Cavaliers. How

(07:32):
about a fifteen and a half pointfavor for the Celtics. If they win
Game five tonight, they punch theirticket to the Eastern Conference Finals. The
back the last two times these teamsplayed, I believe I asked you a
question of does anything interest you inthese games? Let me run back that
storyline one more time here as thisseries continues on for both squads both Series
four teams, Do either one ofthese games interest you? Tonight? Will

(07:55):
they be entertaining? I hope thatBoston invites Lebron James and does like a
big gushy intro for him, justlike Cleveland did, just like completely because
you know, Lebron James is soegotistical that if they said, hey,
we want to honor you, wecome to the game, Okay, he
would come, and then all theCleveland fans to be like, wait a
minute, we were trying to gethim back, and Boston there going we're

(08:18):
gonna draft Ronnie. That's what Isee, Lex, He's a little trolley,
A little trolley. Yeah, Imight have got a wrong read on
the Lebron's story, and not becauseof like why he did it. I
believe the wind horse reports that there'ssomething cooking. He's umped to something season.
As Pat McAfee likes to say,I didn't realize the honoring and the
acknowledgment and here I am, theking has arrived. How much you had

(08:39):
said this, like, aren't youticked off if you're a player? And
maybe the player is different because it'ssome guys in the court actually grew up
loving Lebron James like that was theiridle. Some guys, frightening as this
is, weren't even born when LebronJames debuting the NBA in two thousand and
three, So there might be awhole different field of Lebron, But that
also answers the question is why Lebron. It's gotta be a decade plus now

(09:01):
has never seen an All Star SaturdayNight Like when the dunk contest happens,
they always cut to the players.Lebron hasn't done that forever, or three
point shootout because just Lebron being theretakes the attention away. Celtics are gonna
smoke Cleveland tonight. I know DonovanMitchell was out for Game four. I
don't Cleveland fought as much as theycould. You know what Cleveland is.
Cleveland is the Knicks light Like theKnicks have a ton of injuries, but

(09:22):
they were able to get by Indianaand win that game. Cleveland has injuries
too, but they just hey,okay, then I have it. Garland's
a nice player. Donovan Mitchell's anice player day to day. For don
Mitchell was a legit superstar before hegot to Cleveland. I still feel like
he is. I feel like anice player. You would have said he's

(09:43):
a superstar. He doesn't have enougharound him a year ago, like he
is. He heard his career goingto Cleveland let's let's swing it like this.
If Donovan Mitchell had played, let'sswap the seeds here. Okay,
if Donovan Mitchell was hell in thisPacer series, do you think the Cavaliers
could have beaten the Pacers? Probablygo seven games, probably be a coin

(10:07):
flip in game seven. If it'sin THEA, you probably take Indiana,
You probably take Cleveland. See Calves, I can see the Cavs being more
way more physical. Me too.Yeah, so yeah, I think the
Caves can be the Pacers. Soif if let's say that happened, right
so, you could put Cleveland asa two or three best team in the
East. Are you saying that becausehe picked Cleveland over New York or the
bid was better, that if hewas in New York he would have No,
I'm saying what you said. I'msaying that like because I haven't I

(10:31):
used to see him on Sports Centerall the time. You don't hear him
talking about it very much. LikeI don't know if he's playing worse or
if it's just like, well it'sclevelandn't worry about it, doesn't matter.
And then you just said, youknow, he's a nice player. It
was never a nice player. Itwas always like, this guy's a superstar.
He's put him in your back court. You're gonna score a ton of
points. It's it's worth it now, it's and when you said it,

(10:52):
I agreed with you, Like shouldn'twe be saying he's a superstar Spider?
I think we might have to bustout the Levakan guys. Gosh, I
know this, it's on Fox.I can do this, like Nick right.
Besides his lebron Jordan takes and himscreaming at George Carl on Twitter today
he had like the club, youknow, it's like superstars up here and
then Star and then like all Star. You know. There was like there's

(11:16):
probably something to that tier system ofwhere do they rank? Donovan Mitchell's like
on the stairs right now, likeI'm not sure, can you tell me
I'm going up or down right now? Like I can still play it.
Everyone's like can you we haven't seenit? Where are you? Where would
I see your work? It's likewhen I when I run into people are
like, man, I miss youon the radio. It's like I'm on

(11:37):
the radio. Yeah, no,you have met the radio since you were
on that convery station. Wait no, I and many shows since then.
Actually, many nice things got awardssince then. Like what what just it
doesn't matter. You're not doing itwhere I see it, so it doesn't
matter. That's the best spark.Yeah, all right, well now I'm
depressed. I just made that aboutme. I'll make this a little bit

(11:58):
better for you. Joe Rogan tellsthat's all the time that he bumped into
somebody one time and he's like,wow, guy, the guy from Fear
Factor. He's like, yeah,not doing that anymore. It's like what,
he's just the biggest podcaster in theworld. What do you mean you
you know now that work out FearFactor. Yeah, I mean that's how
you knew me, just because theshows after the year you thought I disappeared.
Remember that one time we were atthe Hideaway and some older lady came

(12:20):

in fire Wolves game and both namesfor it. Never mind, all right,

(18:18):
the NFL schedule comes out tonight.Yet I feel like if you were
really trying, you probably put ittogether by now with the amount they've leaked.
It's just every time I look up, there's another. Oh, here's
the International series, here's the Christmasgames, here's this game, here's that
game. Guys, if you wantedto watch all the games right here's Here's

(18:41):
what's available per platform this season.CBS and Fox both have one hundred and
one games each, so they willair one hundred and one games each.
ABCESPN twenty three games, NBC Peacocktwenty two games. Amazon has sixteen games,
and Network has seven, and Netflixhas two. That one was just

(19:03):
like Fox at CBS. That's itand then maybe one primetime game. Everybody's
figured out the monster that is theNFL. Everyone knows the numbers that puts
up. The world's changed. Hasstreaming. Everybody wants to make money,
and they say, let's dive intothe NFL. That LOVC you reading that
out loud to me, I believethe number seven hundred and fifty dollars sounds

(19:23):
way too much. But our guyBritty Farcas Senn High School z Own,
I believe he pulled that stet upthat if you had to pay for every
streaming service for a year of whatceyou just listened off it's seven hundred and
fifty dollars. Well. Pro FootballTalk says that in order to watch every
game of the twenty twenty four NFLregular season, you need NBCCBS, Fox,
ABC, Sunday Ticket, NFL Network, ESPN, ESPN Plus, Amazon

(19:47):
Prime, Peacock, and Netflix.I feel like you don't need ESPN Plus,
right, I think so right thatMonday at Football, Yeah, but
you don't need if you have ESPN, you don't need ESPN Plus. Yeah.
I think that's royally right. Theonly reason I say that is because
I don't know if ESPN flipped overto like ABC. I have ESPN Plus,
so I'm able to watch all thatstuff, So I don't know if

(20:07):
it's double. I almost I almostgot back, but refuse. I'm seeing
that Greg Olsen is demoted to Fox'snumber two team now because Brady's back or
here to begin with. So there'sthat. But right now, we've listed

(20:30):
a bunch of the a bunch ofthe games we've we've told you a lot
of the ones that are coming.But now we even know who the international
games are. You you mentioned it. We got Christmas. We have two
games we know on Christmas because the'reon Netflix. The International Games. It's
uh sim Polo Brazil. September six, you got the Packers at the Eagles

(20:56):
allegedly. Then London, England hasgot October sixth Jets at Vikings, Tottenham
Hotspur Stadium, Tattenham. It's anine to thirty kickoff NFL Network. October
thirteenth, Jags at Bears, ninethirty NFL Network, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

(21:17):
Then you go to October twentieth,nine thirty in the morning, NFL Network,
Wembley Stadium, Pats at Jags.So Jags have two two games in
the in England and then Munich,Germany November tenth, nine thirty in the
morning, NFL Network from the AlansArena, home of FC Bayern, Munich

(21:44):
Giants at Panthers. So we yeah, there you go. I feel like
again, if you were you couldprobably get really close to putting the schedule
together at this point because we alreadyknow whoever he's playing, You already know
the opponents in some of these keygames where they're put. A smarter person
than me could get probably really closeto the real schedule. You and I
are going to do a way tooearly NFL preview show this Memorial Day and

(22:08):
you're on the podcast side when we'reoff, although we won't be off for
Memorial Day, we'll be posting that. How much, if at all,
do you think those international games youjust talked about, these week in games,
I'm gonna call them not even weekdayweek in or it's like Wednesday,
Thursday, moving around to another oneanother week. It's not even a full

(22:32):
week. You had three games andtwelve days or something. One win difference,
three win difference. You have todo a team by team how a
team's built and a roster is built. Is it maybe too complex of a
question, because I think that's whatpeople are gonna talk about. What's the
schedule actually hits Like there's rumors theJets are gonna get screwed by how their
schedule set up. We talked aboutthe Chiefs. They're in the top four

(22:52):
or four of how that thing's setup. I would look at it and
say, if you have multiple internationalgames, those tough travel weeks. I'm
talking about, like, hey,again, three games in nineteen days or
something. But the NFL would claimthey do everything possible to prevent that,
so they're trying to be as fairas possible. Will they be fair to

(23:14):
every team? Know, whatever thefair is defined by, that would be
the one I feel like would changethe win losses. Everything else is a
coin flip. Fifty to fifty comesdown to rosters and injuries and everything else.
Yeah, I'm not a fan ofthe international and you know that the
Jags having two of them? Howmuch is like, obviously you're trying to

(23:36):
you're trying to expand your market,You're trying to get more customers. That's
why you do it. Which isfunny because I can broadcast the game anywhere.
I can broadcast a Firebirds game anywherelike you can. You know,
hell, we get people from freakingSweden letting us know they can hear Fox
Sports Radio. At least twice aweek I get an email from swhen or

(23:57):
whoever else, Hilda. But like, I wonder how much it the fact
that the team that is most overseasis the Jags. Like again, they
used to suck. I get it. That was that was part of it.
That's part of why is that becausethe con family, you know,

(24:18):
the foreign influence of the Con family, Like are they sitting there going,
hey, we want to be aninternational team. We don't want to be.
We don't want to be America's footballteam. We want to be the
world's football team, because you knowthe foreign background of the con family.
To answer that would be what thecon result wants to be, Like it
sounds cool to be the world's footballteam, but I think he really wants

(24:41):
to say, will we make moremoney doing this? Right? Man?
Like we could go nine and eight, ten and seven, win the South,
could bump in the wild card,or we could raise our franchise's value
by billions of dollars if we areknown internationally. The sport that does this
the best. I'm gonna take soccerout of it because soakery is more popular

(25:03):
worldwide, but the basketball has donethat the best of anybody. David Stern
always talking about this, like youlook at teams like the Golden State Warriors,
like fantastic example, Like Golden Statea decade plus ago would not have
been anywhere close to what the innthe Bulls are an example of that.
If you win in the NBA,you become an international commodity. Win you
don't have to go play anywhere else. This is a win Consistently. I

(25:25):
don't think a one and done winwould like this hurts me. The Tampa
Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers have wontwo Super Bowls in their franchise's history.
They won one in January of threeI don't know what happened in that game,
and then they won one in Februaryof two thousand and twenty one.
I'm leaving, but I don't know. I don't know how many fans in
Germany would want to buy the Buccaneers. But if they heard Cowboy Cowboys,

(25:49):
of course, like they heard otherteams, they'd be more likely to buy
those teams who haven't won as manySuper Bowls and the Buccaneers than twenty year
time frame. I'm sorry, I'mnot talking about that's already anymore. I
don't know. Here's what I feelconfident I wasn't Here's what I feel confident
about. Feel good about this takeright now on a Wednesday in May,

(26:12):
at four thirty Mary, month ofMay. I don't know if any team
sees it. It will be fullyinfluenced by the schedule layout. Like you
said, we already know the teamsthey're playing, we know the division.
You can't change those things. Iwould be very shocked, and you could
quote me on this roll on thetape market on the podcast that you and

(26:32):
I will come back at October andNovember and if the Giants, Jets or
Bills are playing poorly, that oneof the top things we say is,
oh, you know what screwed themwas the schedule. I don't think that's
gonna be what we break down isthe schedule. It'll be coaching, it'll
be gameplay, it'll be roster acquisitionsor lack thereof. I don't know if
the schedule becomes a point of blamebecause once it's out there, it's out
there, and to coach, clichebut true. So you talk about how

(26:56):
hard it is and everything like that, like people, that's a that's a
real you know, Oh I gota tough stretch up ahead. You gotta
have this many wins by the timeyou get there or you'll be out.
I think you you'll see it.It'll be there. But it's like,
but you know what happens with thegood teams. No matter what, the
good teams go. Yeah, butthey gotta playoffs. That's what the good
teams do. But it will,it'll, it'll come up. It does.

(27:18):
It's a good excuse for teams thatsuck to do that. It is.
We see it all the time.But no, I think that that
international schedule is a weird one.A Wednesday night for Christmas is weird.
It's gonna be it's gonna be acrazy, crazy year. But like I
get, I get to sit downthose kind of conversations all the time,
like, hey, how bad isthis? Like is it? Is it

(27:45):
an inconvenience? Okay, well wewill live with an inconvenience, like the
guys might get inconvenience once in awhile. Okay, is it dangerous?
No, we're not doing it.It's not happening, all right, Well
what about you know, so whenthey sit there and they judge the schedule
everything, and obviously money's involved,it's inconvenient to change your practice schedule and

(28:06):
fly overseas and play a game inMunich. It's not dangerous at least,
it's not any more dangerous than footballitself. So I've been on those conversations,
like I've like, ok somebody tellme why this is dangerous. Nobody's
got reason. Okay, we're gonnado it. Okay, somebody tell me
why this is inconvenient? No,it's dangerous, Okay, but we're not
gonna do it, so it's notgonna happen. Like all businesses, there

(28:27):
is a breaking point of we've stretchedout our employees too thin, we're asking
too much of this. I knowthey had an NFL PA and a bargaining
and all that stuff's happened in recently, within the last decade, I believe,
where a lot of this stuff wasworked out and no more of an
affected training camp. Then I don'tknow if there ever will be a Okay,
that's enough. Okay, that's enoughinternational games. Okay, that's enough

(28:49):
streaming games. Okay, that's enoughThursday. I don't know if there ever
will be a breaking but like we'vetalked about there being a breaking point,
but I have no reason to believethere ever will be a breaking point.
If you're the NFL and you comeback and you go, guys, I
could have got you all a fourpercent raise across the board. We're gonna
we could have raised the cap fourpercent? How much four percent? Fifteen

(29:12):
million, twenty million dollars that we'vehad for the team. Why do you
do it? And that we hadto play one more game in France?
Go back and tell them we'll goto France, right and then once everybody
goes back and they're like, Ican't believe we're the team that's going to
France. And it's like, yeah, but you wanted that extra money.
Yeah, but I did. Ithink we'd have to go to France.

(29:33):
Like it's just it doesn't happen.That's that's part of it. I feel
like where people work there, like, wait a second, Wait a second.
So you're telling me guys that youthink NFL players want to raise but
don't want to actually do work forthe raise. Welcome to the American course.
Well, I mean, listen,there is an argument you made that
they don't get enough of the pie. Yes, so there you can make
that argument. You're not gonna win. So how do you get more money?

(29:57):
Begger pie? More pie equals moremoney for everybody, and that's how
you do it. But well,well we'll see how it goes. I
mean, I'm I do. Ilike more football, so I'm happy either
way. I wonder maybe if Icontinue to talk to Drew Prescott, one
day, I'll have enough money tobuy a football team, I hope.

(30:18):
So I'm rooting for you if that'sthe case, I hope. So probably
an AFL T I don't think I'mDrew's where we're starting. Drew's gotta work
cut out for him to get meinto the NFL. But listen, this
is the deal is if you're tryingto take your your financial well being,
you're trying to grow, you're tryingto get you know, maybe you've got
you know, two hundred and fiftythousand dollars in your retirement you're like,

(30:40):
I feel good about that, orin your vestments, I feel good about
that. When you feel better ifit was a million, I mean,
come on, let's just be real. Two fitty ain't gonna get you that
far when you get to that age. Here's where Drew comes in. Right,

zero three. It was nineteen eightythree, you know, check that out.
Call him and he'll help you comeup with a plan to get you

(31:00):
where you are to where you hopeto be. Now again, nothing's for
sure. It's an uncertain world.In the world of finance, stocks go
up and down, mutual funds change. These things are different. But if
you have a good plan, youcan weather those storms. If you're a
good plan, maybe you can evensee them coming and ride the waves to
where you want to be. Prescottpw dot com five point eight two zero
three, nineteen eighty three. That'sDrew Prescott. Call him today, get

(31:23):
to know him, sit down,have a conversation and see if that's the
right guy to help you do yourplanning. I really enjoy talking to Drew.

(32:28):
Brought to by Mohawks Chevrolet. Together'sdrive a Mohawks Chevy where they always
got out of their way to pleaseyou. I told you that they were
doing a TV show slash documentary onsho Hey Otani's interpreter, yes Epe criminal
A. I believe this is hislast name, sister, I believe his

(32:51):
last name. You didn't bite onthat one. You weren't in on that
one? No, too quick?All right, this is all so quick,
But I think I can sell youon this one. Amazon has approved
a true crime documentary chronicling the storyof Chiefs, a holic the chief fan
who dresses like a full blown wolfin Chiefs clothing and Rob Banks in the

(33:17):
outfit that he wears two games onSunday as a Chiefs fan. The documentary
is titled Chiefs the Halic a Wolfin Chiefs Clothing. It's a story of
Xavier Baderadar aka Chiefs the Halic he'sactually interviewed in the documentary, So if

(33:38):
you remember this is the guy,this would be like Fireman Ed for the
Jets, robbing a bank in hisfireman edgear. Like that's I mean,
maybe not exactly Like this would belike I'm trying to think of the like
all the Raiders fans, Like there'sthat one dude. I can't think Slipper
Dave is that guy for the Clippersthat he doesn't have the costume. It's

(33:58):
like they're all like the Raiders fanswould pay their faces black hole. Yeah
wow, really, why I gottabe a black hole? That's what it's
called. Okay, you're right,that's fright. But like like the guys
who wear a mask and they're knownfor it, like they're a super fan,
like they're known for wearing the mask. They'd be like the Hogs,
the old the old fans of theoffensive line for the then redskins are words

(34:20):
please yes please, oh now youcan see black hole, but you can't
say okay, fine, I sellyou are. Uh, But they'd be
like them robbing a bank. Likeit's like, wait, I know them
from somewhere. Oh it's TV Sunday. This dude, wore the same exact
gear he wore to support the Chiefsto rob Banks and thought he was gonna
get away with it all in Yes, stiff me out quick, I'm all

(34:44):
about this story. Here is agreat example of a story that is so
bizarre, so interesting. I don'tknow that much about that. I want
to learn so much more about.This goes to everything that was great about
the thirty for thirty series when itcame out more than ten years ago.
It's really probably a deeper conversation ofwhat people find interesting. People want to
find out stuff they don't know about. That sounds like a really obvious same,

(35:07):
but it's true. Why do peoplelisten to sportstock radio? Why do
people continue to consume information and blahblah blah. People want to know stuff
they don't know about to can telltheir friends. I know something you don't
know. But here's a cool storyI have. This is it. It
crosses over because it's not just sports, it's a little pop cultur y,
because it's got some crime all aboutit. Levac, I cannot now.

(35:28):
I know there is a like aESPN short about that that's floyding'. I
think Mina Kimes did something on that. So there is a little feature about
it now. But if we're gettingan expanded version with the dude talking sign
me up, I would say,right now, the best docu series,
this best sports content. What we'retalking about? Netflix has it right now,
right like, well, this isAmazon right right. So Amazon's trying

(35:51):
to catch up to them. BecauseAmazon's done like the in season hard Docks
with the Cardinals. They've done somesoccer stuff. I don't think I'm missing
anything. I know they got somedocumentaries there floating around, but like Netflix
did the unguarded with like Tao andJohnny football and all the scandals, ESPN
had it. So Amazon's trying tofind this. Now. Amazon's trying to

(36:12):
be the next one. If wedo the best sports content, I'm about
it, Yes, I mean,I just I want to like, I
just I just want to understand,Like what made you think that was gonna
work? Like what? Like,I well, nobody would dress like this
and do that? Like is thatwhat it was? Put this in the

(36:35):
holster somewhere, Put this save thisnineties kid if he's listening, Ryan,
if whoever, I'm still mad,I'm a little salty, Well salt it
it happened. People disagree with us. It's okay, it's happened. He
was He's pick he's picking at me. He's picking at me. Him and
Bop they were picking at me.I'm daring where you at today? We
had today? Now Uncle Fisher's inthe house. Huh huh. He's so

(36:58):
tough. Now. What I wasgoing to say is someone reminds us of
this topic. I want to dothis, not today, but at some
point. The best sports story thatyou think would make a great movie,
a documentary, a series like this, because that might be number one for
somebody. What you just said,the ultimate super fan of the multiple time

(37:19):
super Bowl champions robbing a bank andbeing a criminal, that's great. Not
just robin a bank and being acriminal. The disguise, the way he
thought he would get away with itis to wear exactly what he wore at
the games, which got him attentiona national television dude was featured before he

(37:40):
did anything wrong. That's about asgood as the story as you can get.
There's tons of him. Remember theone about the Larry David fan who
got acquitted because they found the footagelike that's a wild story. There's tons
of there's another one out there aboutlike a former like prankster who was not
telling somebody that he was giving ahis sperm. He was like a secret

(38:00):
sperm donor. That one's out there'swild stories. Here's the number one story
for me. Amazon, Netflix,our friends here at the Big Fox.
Someone do a feature movie, docuseries, whatever. Do you remember the
Bison Daily story? Do you knowthat story? Are you familiar with that?
I remember Carson Daily related Bison Delea. I should have put a little

(38:22):
exit mark today. I believe heformerly was known as Brian Williams. If
you don't know this story, thisneeds to be covered by somebody. So
he played in the NBA, changedhis name, went out on a boat,
never came back. They think hisbrother might have murdered him, but
maybe he didn't because there was Idon't want to ruin it. But if
someone said, guys, if youhad the power to make any film right

(38:44):
now about anything that people might befamiliar with. There's another one that I
don't think people find this is thatone end where he shows up at a
logging town and then as the strangeson finds him and the series ends way
more disappointing. Than we thought itdid the first time. That is that
the new season of Dexter. That'snot Dexter. No, okay, I
thought the Dexter finale was fantastic.That's how it would have drawn it up.

(39:06):
I wrote that. That's on socialmedia somewhere. They took my They
took my idea. That's how itshould do. I came up with the
serious finale to Dexter. Me Idid that anyways, the Bison Dale.
Do you have something off the topof your head right now that if you've
got a camera crew the Levak ProductionLLC Ben Nelson takes you, is there
a certain sports topic you'd be like, Hey, a lot of people don't
know about you know what? Ithink? I answered mine for you,

(39:29):
But I'm curious to see if thisis what one. Oh no, you
mean you mean you mean a Bthree that that's twenty three. I think
last year I didn't think, Iswear I didn't even think about that doing
this topic. I'd like to seea little deeper dive into Tim McCarver versus
Deon Sanders. Ooh, remember thatwhere Tim McCarver said some things about Dion

(39:52):
Dian couldn't let it go. Hewas throwing and here's what Carver's trying to
do his job, and he's throwingbuckets of water on. I don't feel
like that ended just because it ended. I feel like someone had to step
in and shut that down. Yeah, they did a little passing on that
in the Dion thirty for thirty,but you want a little deeper dive and
yeah that's cool because again it waslike, you know, if you want
to see a microchasm of like generationaldifferences between athletes, because McCarver was paintings

(40:15):
like to get off my long guy, but Dion was super disrespectful too,
so it's like a little more intothat. That's one that comes to my
mind almost immediately later this summer.Let us I want to do a whole
segment of this. I want totake calls, I want to take social
media tweets. You can pass onyour notes now, but I would love
that topic of only Corey calls thebest sports topic that hasn't been covered yet,
that needs to be most interesting,something you ned watch. I'm trying

(40:36):
to think of another one, likethere's definitely more that if you don't think
of a noun, save it forlater in the summer when we don't have
as many insane things. This issomething like I'm insanely curious about and and
because of this, we'll be ableto actually get the answers. Yes,
Bill Belichick's dating life, that hebroke up with his last girlfriend. I'm
so in, i am so in, I'm and I'm proud of him.

(41:00):
I'm proud of you, Dom.But one I'm interested in, I'll say
I'll say I'm Hona Stephanie. Idon't know if anyone knows the name Doug
Logan, but Doug Logan was theoriginal voice of the Orange, like he
was the voice of Syre because Athleticswhen I was grown up. And he
disappeared, like fell off the faceof the earth, just fart in the
wind, like broadcasters last forever,just gone looking for Logan. The new

(41:23):
thirty for thirty produced by Guys Everyonesteals out of you. I'm gonna be
really And it ends with like wejust go to his house. He's like,
I shouldn't want to do it anymore? Can you guys? Get tell
here? What are we doing?Tell guys to stop calling me? No
one else cared except him. Where'sDoug logan, where are Mac and Jack?
We should I'm never gonna get out. Maybe maybe we can get them

(41:45):
a new home. Maybe, Iknow we got Mac Callahan coming up.
Yes, did you ever see thebit they did about Rowdy the River at
the mascot for the River at HockeyTeam. I don't think so. Oh
I got it was just ysterical.So they incorporated Steve caparism with pack Connection
the whole night right, So you'rewatching TV and it comes up where so

(42:08):
if you have have you ever seenpack Connection with Steve legendary segment here at
the gamp reach decades Capies. Ilove Capy to death. He's one of
the nicest guys. When I wason the country station, we would talk
every morning. He so he comesout instead of with like a cat or
a dog, he comes out withRowdy the mascot, and he goes this

(42:30):
guy, hey, buddy, he'sa little shy, a little shy needs
a new home. And then yousee and then it cuts to Southpaw,
the mascot for the for the ValleyCats. He jumps in the Valley Cats
van, peels out down the road, goes to Mohawk Cuts. In Humane
Society adopts rowdy rowdy. That's howrowdy became part of everything. So maybe

(42:53):
we get mad, maybe like I'lljust maybe I'll just like gently pitched to
Matt my idea to rescue Mac andJack. Maybe get maybe south poking hop
in the van and head south.I've never seen that video. I might
look at that it coming up.Oh hysterical, It's it's so well done,
Like talk about incorporating like all thecool like local stuff in a one

(43:14):
spot, just really well thought out, well done, really really really really
play of the day. I amI'm not I'm upstaining two days on the
road pass. Yeah you know what, man, I decided that I'm only
gonna I'm I'm not gonna just forcesome of these right, like I I'm
I loved last night. We talkedextensively about last night's next game. I

(43:34):
really enjoyed it. I didn't Ihave money on it. Without having money
on it, you know what Imean, because I have it as part
of my my parlay, my championshipparlay. But I said a great night
with it. Tonight for me isgoing to be mostly about the NFL schedule.
Obviously Yankees play, but now thatthe the New York Championship parlay is

my hit last night. I didn'thave much out there on a Wednesday afternoon
and a few playoff games I wantedto run away from. So I rolled
with the Rockies yesterday the baby hitplus two forty. Man. The Rockies

(44:19):

they've had six street victory. SoI'm not going back to that today,
though, I think I just haveto go back to hockey. I'm gonna
go back. Let's do the Avalancheone more time here. I've done Avalanche

to figure out the ways in whichyou've been sleeping. Well. Love oh
the Intergrat Sleep Center and bass Spolewith my good friend, doctor Fred Dreer.

the top dentists you would ever see. He's a holistic dentist, so he's
worried about your overall well being whilehe's taking care of your teeth. He's

amazing dentist. Well, then hebecomes a diplomat of dental sleep medicine because
he learns about sleep abnia and allthe dangers and things that causes all the
problems it causes for your health,like they're they're actually relating sleep atia now
to to dementia, to certain formof dementia a rectile dysfunction, which we
now know means you can't put thejenga base back together. You can't erect

(46:05):
jenga, right, That's that's whatthat is. That's and that's disappointing at
best. At least that's what mymom told me it meant. But it's
all joking aside. It's linking toso many more health problems. And when
you think about the sleep ap me, it means you stop breathing in your
sleep, Like, isn't that thebiggest health problem? Not breathing. I
think that's up there. I thinkit's one of the top. It's it's
at least top five. So getthat taken care of the easiest way possible.

No surgery, no hoses, nowires. It's a mouthpiece, custom
made for you keep your airway open. I'm on my second version of it,
