Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Fox Sports nine eighty nine, It'stime for the Top four four with Levac
and Guz. Time for the fourmagging stories in the world of sports.
It is brought to you by MohawkHanna were they always got out of the
way to please you and we willbe tomorrow for the show. Guys,

(00:20):
what's the fourth biggest story? Let'scheck on some of our Steeler fans if
they're happy about this story, ifthey're annoyed by this story. Where's our
guy, Scottie, where's our guy? Where's our very dubs? Uh Steven,
we want to hear from. Ijust picture Steeler fan breaking a television
about everything. It's like mozle Top, but in Pittsburgh, except on a
glass for Jewish wedding. Pittsburgh islike, oh we have news break a

(00:44):
flat screen. What are you gonnado? Steve the Tiger. I don't
like to let him Steve the Tigerbecause it makes me think of Steve the
Pirate. But do you like themouscle top. Have you been a wedding
like that before? Uh? Yes, yes, that sounds fun. It
is one. Listen, all weddingsare fun unless they're yours. All right,
I had fun you know what.Mike Tomlin, the NFL's longest tenured

(01:06):
head coaches, received a contract extensionfrom the Steelers today that puts him under
contract until the twenty twenty seven season. He will enter his eighteenth season as
the head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I love this stattle of back.
There have only been three coaches inthe easter of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Mike
Tomlin, Bill Cower, and ChuckNoll. No, yep, what do

(01:27):
you making the extension here for theSteelers? Was at the right decision?
I like you for the Steelers.I don't know if I like it for
Tomin Like he gets so much KAKAand he all he does is put a
competitive team on the field each andevery year. You know you're not gonna
win every season. It's been aminute as they've won one. I know

(01:48):
Steeler fan is usually pretty torn overTomlin, but I just I think if
you're the Steelers, this is great. If you're Tomlin, you have a
chance to get a ration of Dodofor no reason, and what really is
will never we even go further beforewe get that where they just throw to
him on like Monday Night football.What do you think coach Tomlin. I
think he sucks and then just goesback like because I think it's I think

(02:10):
that's what One day, we'll getit. You and I have a great
read on Tomlin. Of all thepeople, this includes Tom Brady, this
includes Greg Olsen. If you hadto pick one person from the NFL,
Sean McVay second. Sean McVay isvery close Mike Tomlin. Hell, I
might put him in all sports.I know Draymond Green's doing stuff. I
know there's other athletes. Mike Tomlin, he's going to be a star when

(02:31):
the day comes he has to domedia. I hope, I hope.
I hope he doesn't just fade off, like like like Marvin Lewis kind of
faded away for a lit while.Now he's the assistant head coach of the
Raiders. But like if Tomlin justfades off and be so disappointed, it's
not Charles Barkley, Because Charles Barkley, when he was being recruited to be
a media member, was he wasgoing to be authentically him and he's been

(02:51):
that. Not Michael Strahan, whois very comfortable in front of a camera
and feels natural like he would alwaysbeen. Tomlin is gonna say things that
are gonna stand out and be sounique, Like I gotta hear what Tomlin's
gotta say about that. It's sortof like that just sit there. Oh
yeah, uh, Tomas. Tomlin'sgonna be a Hall of Famer one day.
If he finishes till twenty twenty seven, he's gonna pass Chuck Noll and
have the most wins ever in thehistory of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Problem now

(03:14):
is that Pittsburgh sports talk radio fansare fellows. Sports talk hosts won't know
what to complain about for the nextfew years about what do you mean you
can't fire Tomlin? He hasn't hada winning a playoff win since twenty sixteen,
but he's never had a losing season. I like the deal. I
mean teams would teams would kill forsomething like this. You know, a
many franchises would love to have acoach for eighteen seasons who's won a superl

(03:37):
who had those type of stats.Steeler fan gets a little spoiled or a
little irrational. They don't realize howgreat they really have it. Someway is
Steeler fan rational? Like when iswhen does that happen. You know,
I'm just I'm asking. I'm askingfor a friend. Not the Steelers have
a chance to have twenty straight nonlosing seasons, which would tie the Cowboys

(03:57):
from the sixties to the mid eighties. So the most Steve has reached out,
Steve the Tiger, I call himFather Flockeray, he's ahead of flock
support, Absolutely thrilled. Coach Tomlinhas re signed for three more years.
If the Steelers fired him, hewould have a job before he got to
his car in the parking lot.I am a pro Tomlin Steelers for I

(04:20):
have something about the Steelers, onemore take on them that I'm gonna save
for later here in the top fourto four and maybe we'll do this later
this week section. You know what, Levic, I'm stopping this tease,
but I want to do this laterthis week. Let's do this for Friday
show. I want to top fivecoaching gigs, not about Rushmore, but
later this week. I want topower ranking from levakas the best five coaching

(04:41):
gigs in sports. That's question becauseI'm reconsidering my list now after this news
today, let's move on to storynumber three involves to New York Yankees.
The Yankees take on the Royals eightten, first pitch in Kansas City,
Levac. Kansas City has been surprisinglypretty good this season, a true contender
in the Al Central. The Yankeesare showing up to k C. Can

(05:02):
we still call it kaufin Citium?I know there's been some talks they're gonna
redo their statement. It may noteven be called Coffin City anymore. Ilways
remembered as that it is still acoffin stadium. Very good? Uh.
The Yankees come off a big seriesof the Dodgers. Trapped series isn't a
thing? Are you a little concernedabout how hyped Kansas City might be in
comparison to what New York is facingthe Royals? I mean, Casey's a

(05:25):
good team, No, but II think the Yankees the best team in
baseball. And that's you don't worryabout, you know, That's it?
What their their mascots a lion,right are Well, they're about to They're
about to run into the real lines. Lions don't concern themselves with the feelings
of lambs. This series is somuch more important for Kansas City than New
York. If New York loses thisseries, and the Yankee like, oh

(05:45):
we did we lost a series ofthe Royals in June. I don't even
remember that. While Kansas City's gonnabe we beat the Yankees back in June.
Remember that, and we're gonna getthem in the divisional route a week
could be. It's just so muchmore important for Kansas City. Our guy,
Justin Lanta, by the way,do a lot of teases for later
in the week. This week,Justin Lennard, major League Baseball insider,
big Guardian fan covers Baseball. He'sgonna join us on Friday as well.

(06:08):
My gosh, Friday's loaded with interviews. We'll find out if he believes the
Royals are true contender. Maybe theanswer to that will come after the series.
Yeah, New York's really good.Kansas City, here's your test.
Let's find out, Royals, canyou hang with the big dogs. We're
gonna find out. As this seriesget eight ten first pitches, we'll go
on the lap. Ye got correctedby all the well. Tom Nolty three

(06:31):
coaches, three head coaches for theSteelers since nineteen sixty nine, sixteen total
nineteen sixty nine. Yeah, Ithought you said ever. Yeah, this
is a now I'm in around thirtythree. Oh my gosh, Boriest Downs
Lobby, Damelio, Joe Bach,John mcnaughlly, Walt Keasling, Bert Bell,

(07:00):
Aldo Danelli, Walt Casling's back again, Jim Leonard, Jock Jock not,
Jack Sutherland, John Michelos, andJoe back back again. Walt Keasling
back again, Walt Keasley just keptcoming back. Buddy Parker, Mike Nixon,
Bill Austin, then Chuck Nole,Bill Kauer, Mike Tomlin, three

(07:24):
NFL head coaches. Oh oh,now you want to Oh, come on,
sorry, We're gonna try and discountthe what what Walt Cazling brought to
the to the franchise. Walt Keasling'spicture is the scariest picture I've ever seen
in my life. Scary than WalterWhite. Let me see from here,

(07:48):
terrifying, terrifying. That's the guylike, that's the guy like he was
always so quiet. I don't knowhow he ate seventeen children burb this dude's
smile. Very revealing photo there ofWalt Keasley. Someone posted today on social
media that one of the great scenesof the last twenty five years, maybe
in television history. Spoiler alert forBreaking Bad three two one is when Hank

(08:13):
finds out Walter White is Heisenberg.Gosh, what a scene. He's right
on the toilet when he finds outoohoopy. Let's been on a story number
two shocking that the Stanley Cup.Game two of the Stanley Cup is not
story number one, but we're gonnatell you why a few but it's Oilers
Panthers Game two. Florida leads thisseries one game to nothing. Levac,

(08:37):
I'm gonna tease right now, it'sgonna come back. In the Play of
the Day, Conor McDavid, samRyan Hart. Stanley Cup on a scale
of one to ten busted out theold guys scale here on will you watch
tonight? Your positivity ranking ten beinglocked in no doubt this is gonna go
on the back television one being probablywon't because it's a Monday. Can catch
up on some shows. The oddsof you watching tonight's Game two of the

(09:01):
Stanley Cup is what's lower than zero. I'm not gonna watch. Okay,
listen, if you told me thatEdmonton oiler fan was gonna be there,
you know what's what I mean?I might watch. I'll just wait for
it. I'll just I'll watch thefallout on X thank you. I know,
listen, I'm I'm a Rangers fan. I'm not a hockey guy.

(09:24):
It's a seven for me. It'sgoing on the TV tonight, It's gonna
happen. I'm gonna watch it.I just was so spoiled by all these
Ranger games. The Ranger games areawesome every single time you put them on
the Panther and Oiler fans are intoit. I feel like the feel the
series is gonna change in Game threewhen it flips over to Canada. The
long trip from Sunrise, Florida toEdmonton, Alberta, Canada. I'll be

(09:46):
locked in for this where Edmonton,Alberta, Canada, home of Lance Storm.
Yes, there's another pro wrestling referencefor us, but it feels like
New York fans are much more affected. Care more about it. You can
let us know if you disagree atTom Goss, tomgz'sy at the Jeff Levac.

(10:07):
I think this has more of aNew York feel to it, and
that is story number one. Sourceshave now confirmed that Connecticut had basketball coach
Dan Hurley has rejected the Lakers offer. He will stay and Yukon The offer
was a six year deal worth seventymillion dollars. There is a lot of

(10:28):
as they say in the sportstock radiobusiness, a lot of branches on this
tree, a lot of things totalk about here. I think there's a
New York connection. I want togo down a little conspiracy land. I
saw Joe's tweet. I think there'ssome truth to that. Lovak, you
want to dive deeper into this DanHurley story coming up here. I would
like for you to tell me wherethese branches are. I'd like, I

(10:48):
want Michelle branch olive branch on allbranches. I want him next. That's
what I want, guys' that's whatI need. Sometimes you've got to be
careful about the branches that are lateron your backyard though you know what's building
in those USX Pest Control can makesure your backyard is safely. Like on
a wonderful weekend with the boys playingoutside in the backyard, it wasn't worried

(11:09):

(18:17):
ninety five nine and nine eighty AMFox Sports Radio. Lakers fans, you
can't always get what you want.Apparently, waving that big in season tournament
ring in front of Dan Hurley wasnot enough to get him to leave Yukon
and come to the Lakers. Turningdown what is reportedly basically what twelve million

(18:41):
years I think right around there,yeah, right around twelve million a year,
seventy millions for six years. JustI mean, who wouldn't want to
go coach what's left of Lebron andBrownie and maybe you have to pluck eighties
eyebrow? Who wouldn't want that?I see some sarcasm has been later to

(19:03):
snarky bey. You know, Iwant to stick it back to you.
Do you think it wasn't a goodjob? And I know kind of tease
that in the top four or forabout what we think are the best jobs
in sports. But with that commentyou had about old Lebron Lebron's kid,
is the Lakers job not as appealingas we thought? Was this just answered
today by Hurley saying no, uh? Or the state of the Lakers?
I guess is a better way tophrase that. Maybe and maybe that.

(19:26):
I just so six years, seventymillion is what he was offered. He
has a six year, thirty twopoint one million dollar deal with Yukon.
He signed that after last season,so he's taking less than half to stay

(19:47):
at Yukon this If if he doesn'tget this deal reworked, if there isn't
something like we don't know yet orhey dude, only we got you,
We'll take care of it, wemay have finally found the person who can
answer the question that you I'm alwaysasking you, like how much money is
happiness worth? Like, if youlike, if I can get thirty two

(20:07):
mili and be happy for six years, is that better than seventy million and
potentially being miserable for six years?Lifestyle where you live, what makes you
happy, what's your legacy, allthat all that stuff, East coast,
West coast, your family, yourfriends, all those things play a factor
in what Dan Hurley made the decisionon doing today a huge lifestyle changing decision.

(20:33):
As a Syracuse basketball fan, notvery happy about this, Hurley has
helped Yukon become the team in collegebasketball right now. It feels like a
very long time ago when Yukon andSyracuse were rivals. While Syracuse has gone
its longest ten year in Division Onewithout making the NCAA Tournament, the same
time, the Yukon Huskies have wonback to back national championship, So that

(20:53):
hurts a little bit. I'd likeI'd like Jesse's take because I think what
Jesse just wrote into the show hasthis all maybe reconsidering what's happened over the
last three days. Jesse wrote,why did we all think he was not
going to come back to Yukon.Think about what happened here. This is
like a hot girl hit on youat the bar on Saturday and you said

(21:17):
I'll get back to you on Monday. That happened. I mean, like,
hey, the most attractive job,the most attractive female said I'm interested
in you, and you told thatfemale give me a couple of days,
I'll get back to you. Youeither are gonna pounce on that opportunity for
whatever that's gonna be, or you'rejust flat out married, or you're saying
no. I mean, if that'dbe the case, if that's the analogy

(21:40):
we're going with, it was I'llhear you out and then I'm gonna go
home with my wife. But likeseventy million, I mean, come on,
I like this theory here, andI think this is the real theory.
And I don't like being fooled,even though at one point in my
life I did like you and Ido like magic. I like sometimes being

(22:03):
fooled, but I don't like whenit comes to sports on the field.
Joe Pompoleno he's a sports business investorthe host of The Joe pomp Show.
This is what he wrote, Breakyou News. I would name that show
pomp and circumstance. Wait better,Nay, that's right. When Woj tweeted
out that he was Dan Hurley goingback to Yukon, Pompolino wrote, It's
almost like Dan Hurley leaked all thisthrough a well trusted media source who literally

(22:30):
wrote a book about his dad,which is true. Adrian Zanowski wrote a
book about uh Bobby Hurley. Uhyeah, Bobby Hurley Senior, the legendary
high school basketball coach back in twothousand and six, to secure himself an
even bigger contracted Yukon. Woj getsa big scoop. The Lakers say,
we tried, and Hurley gets ahuge raise. Win for everybody. Yeah,

(22:53):
but we haven't seen the race yet. According to Woj, what you
said now Yukon Diry in this timeframecalled up. Hurley said, we can
renegotiate your deal if you need metoo. Won't hit the Lakers money.
We'll get into our closer Lakers.He's still, you're absolutely right, we'll
be taking a pay cut to stayat Yukon. But it looks like Hurley
may have leveraged Yukon into more moneyhe gets to stay on the East Coast.

(23:15):
He used Wog to do it,and also makes a lot more sense
why Shams didn't have the scoop butWog did that rarely ever happens. Looks
like Hurley used the media to getmore money. Now some would say,
well, guys, why is thata win for the Lakers? A college
coach just passed on them. True, but if whoever the next coaches flames

(23:36):
out, they can say, well, we tried to get Dan Hurley and
it didn't work out. So Ithink Hurley might have manipulated the media.
Maybe this was never gonna happen.He got a raise out of all of
it, and we all fell forit. Does it fall for it or
or maybe it's a maybe. Maybeyou don't have to believe that. Like
that's one guy's take that I thinkis real. You can say, Goss,

(24:00):
if he didn't want to take thejob, you could have said no
on Saturday. What was this fortyeight hour waiting thing we just did?
Well, no, I bet youany money he was gonna hear him out.
But at the same time, likehe's got a chance to do what
only what Wooden's done with the threepeat he's got or hasn't been sess wouldn't

(24:21):
least, I don't know if ithappened before that. I don't know Tom
Nollley's gonna his something and be like, oh, you really don't remember,
Curly it's Smithswowski's who an nyu backin thirty two? Oh oh who man
oh man three point line be damnthey scored points. They won that championship
thirty two to forty five to thirtytwo. It was great. I don't

(24:45):
know, man, It's weird,Like I don't know enough about Hurley to
know, like I know, likeI like the things he says. I
like the things he does obviously,like the way he coaches back to back
championships, but like I don't knowhim well enough to know like whether or
not he would dance around this.You also got to remember, too,
like he could have been like nofrom the beginning, and his agent could
have been like no, no,no, no, you don't get the

(25:06):
answer. Yet, you don't getto this is this is what I do.
I don't tell you how to whento do a pick and roll.
They'll tell me when to say yesor no to a contract. So I
just I like him, though,like I feel like I feel like sports
is better with him at Yukon becausethe chance to go for that three peat
is pretty amazing. And now JJReddick can get ridiculously overpaid for the Lakers

(25:27):
job. What's going on with theLakers? Like seriously? So we went
from JJ Reddick, who asked nocoaching experience, to potentially being the head
coach of the Lakers. Now,look, Aaron Boone, I guess that
did happen. We do have anexample of someone with no head coaching experience
getting one of the premier jobs insports when Aaron Boone did that. So
it went from JJ Reddick to leadCanadate, to Jan Hurley, who's won

(25:49):
two national championships, to lead candidate. You. You and I have been
saying this, but a little bitlouder from your end than my end.
There are now reports out there thatsome of the conversation should have shifted to
Jay Wright. But Jay Wright's nowin the mix for the Laker's head coaching
job. You know what, seventymay not be enough over thirty two,

(26:11):
but over zero it's probably a reallygood number. I don't know what CBS
is paying. I'm sure he's makinga nice yeah, a million or two
a year or nothing. He's nothe's not making twelve, he's not making
he's not making five million a year. I don't think he's probably making one
maybe two. Sorry, I'm distractedbecause I just noticed that an old friend
of ours has been hacked. Busteronly has been hacked on acts. There's

(26:33):
no no, there's no unless unlessall of a sudden, he actually is
launching his own bitcoin uh dollar signedBuster. I should give him the heads
up. I thought I thought hegot hacked two weeks ago because he started
an Instagram account that said Buster onlyESPN on Instagram that was just like a

(26:56):
picture an egg. Oh well thisis not it. Yeah, I must
be his sphone. It might beall connected to one yikes dollars signed Buster
program beat for poop coins. Buthe says the S word and Buster doesn't
swear publicly. So he's been hacked. Yeah, someone's trying to sell Buster

(27:21):
coins, so we're not in toNo, he's not selling a big screen
TV. No, you're not gonnago. You're not getting Buster coins.
Yes, five, I thought that'show it is. Hey, just d
m me for a PS five.That's what everyone was. Classic hack was.
No, somebody is trying to startBuster coins with Buster's Twitter. Is

(27:42):
it Dan Hurley? It all comesfull circle. I trusted that guy.
Champs. Yeah, jumps any ofthem, any of them, So Jay
writes, potentially can it. I'veheard talks of Pelican's assistant head coach.
I'm sure he could be a wonderfulcoach, but you can't take less than
seventy though, if you're now you'veseen that, like because you know an

(28:03):
assistant coach is not getting seventy.Reddick's not getting seventy, Like all right,
what like you're probably getting six years, you're probably getting three, maybe
four. No coach has gone threeyears since Jackson in twenty eleven. Jay
Wright's the only one that I wouldgive that deal to. So even like,
what is the deal? Like,what are you signing up for for
the Lakers? Again? I getit's the Lakers, it's championships. It's

(28:26):
the focus on the they haven't beengood in a long time. Think about
the players they've had on the Lakerstoo, Lebron, Anthony Davis, Dwight,
Howard, Kobe Bryant. You've hadPowe, Gasol, Like they won
with Kobe, they won with Gasol, but since Ron they did then they
fired the coach, then they canto I don't know what you're getting for

(28:48):
the future, Like Lebron's got whatone year? Do you know what you're
getting, Bronni you have Bronnie James? Do you have one year left with
Lebron? Three zero? You knowyou have an own ship group that's gonna
go after everybody, right, soyou know that that genie boss and everybody
is gonna is going to They're gonnalet you spend big money on free agents.

(29:08):
You know that. You know thatthey're gonna make moves to go for
players. So you've got that's that'sa plus. I just after that what
you have right now is not enough? Well, you have right now is
not enough. And actually what youhave right now might be a reason to
say no because you're not Lebron's coach. He's yours, Like you know what

(29:33):
I mean, Like it's it's that'stough to deal with. They got an
aging superstar who's still in charge,Like you know, anything short of him
calling me and going I'll do whatyou say and taping it and playing it
back for him in every practice,I don't know. That's tough. That's
a tough one to say yes tothe Lakers was the gig? Like,
the fact that people are saying noto this is remarkable. It's hard to

(29:57):
This is one of the best,he would think, in the NBA,
in all professional sports, and nowpeople are just leveraging the Lakers. Well
what would you? All Right,it's the best if you want to be
a superstar, if you want tobe the biggest name, it's that's the
one to go. If you justwant to coach basketball and win championships?
Is it? Is it still theone? It's making me reconsidered it today.
It's making me wonder this like jobsthat I thought would have been the

(30:19):
best. The Boston Celtics, they'vehad one coach leave under a cloud of
weirdness, and Brad Stevens voluntarily left. So the Celtics have gone through this.
The Yankees, yeah, there's alot of pressure under that, but
we just had moments ago that theythe most recent hired was a guy who's
never coached baseball before, and AaronBoone, who am I missing Laker?

(30:41):
The Cowboys? Gosh, working withJerry Jones as your boss might be difficult,
and he's got a track record.He could read some books about that
it's hard to fight. Celtics areup there. I guess the Steelers have
to be you know, maybe numberone the career of Walter Kritzki or whatever.
Yeah, well, you know they'renot gonna kick you out the door,
you know what I mean? Aslong as well till the kids take

(31:03):
over, then all bets are off. I don't know. I would I
would say, even though he's notas big there, I would want to
work for Mark Cuban, ooh Dallas, for Jason Kidd and that gig right
now, for the Mavericks. Ithink Mark Cuban is the guy who you
want to talk about you get rewardedfor busting your butt. I guarantee that's
guy that's gonna take care of you. You know what, there's a connection

(31:25):
here that I didn't think about fora second that actually, you, as
a Raider fan, can answer thismaybe better than any John Gruden may have
done this better than anybody else inhistory, because what's gonna happen now is
the fact that Dan Hurley considered jumpingto the NBA. This storyline is not
going away, Like, if youguy even gets to the Final four next
year, it's gonna be talking abouthave you got has a great season?
Gets upset? This is always goingto be talked about the future of Dan

(31:48):
Hurley. So let me I bringup John Grudy, because John Gruden I
would always say no, no toTennessee, no to this, No,
no, no, no no,until the perfect job came back to the
Raiders and he finally said yes andgot paid one hundred million dollars. How
much of that he actually got paidlegally? I don't know how that came
together after the controversy. But isDan Hurley holding out for the Knicks?

(32:10):
Is Dan Hurley holding out for theperfect job? What is the is yukon
the perfect job? Because this soundslike over the next few years he's gonna
keep saying no. But there issome small temptation of the NBA and it
could be Tom Thibodeau's job if theKnicks aren't good in the future. I
mean, I think I think he'sgonna try to win a bunch, see

(32:30):
how many can win. Maybe ifhe loses, maybe then he comes out.
I would still have Tom Thibodeau overDan Hurley, right, but it
has been really good? Yeah rightnow? Oh Jay? Right? Though
I don't know get ready your coachwhen you're winning Jesse. It'd also like
to say, guys, you completelybutchered my analogy. You forgot to mention
the point that the hot girl hitson you Saturday and then you threaten to
leave your wife on Monday. Ahyeah, but that's dangerous, dangerous.

(32:59):
I don't think you ever threatened toleave the wife as threaten you leave or
you don't, right, get Iguess I get why his analogy was better
with the wife thing, because it'slike, hey, I might actually leave,
but now I do have to comeback to Yukon after publicly parting with
leaving all of a sudden, She'slike, I got a gym membership and
I want to ever leave me alone? And then but she hates you forever.

(33:20):
So the wife's different than a universitymy friend a little bit. All
right, Listen. One thing thatis an amazing relationship is mine with Mohawk
Schevley Love Molawk Chevy. We werejust there. They got Corvette. They
had a Corvette show over the weekend. I didn't even know about it.
I saw it on social media.I saw on social media too, But
I would have went to that,would have went and checked out all the
vets. That's like, I'm allin. I'm now they have a Camaro

(33:42):
show. I better be front andcenter because Camaros are my first love.
But I now I love my Silverado. Maybe you're looking for Silverado. They
have tons of them. They haveTahoes, Malibus, tracks, Equinox.
Whatever you're looking for, they've got. They've got a bunch of vets on
a lot of Corvettes ready to go. And with the finance department and the
stafflet they've you know, they're gonnaget taken care of me, get the
best pricing, great financing. They'regonna take amazing care of you. Buddy

(34:06):
of mine was like, hey,I'm looking for Colorado. I'm like,
let me get your touch, youknow, send his information over Katie.

I I gotta tell you I haveI'm taking an old school ball up in
lately. There's a line in themovie I can't remember. It's like I
once saw mountain line was dragged downa hill and over bumps through cactive bah

(36:00):
Uh. I was the sorriest thingI ever seen in my life. You're
the second sorriest son. Somebody whosaw the way my wagers have played out
this weekend would definitely call me thesecond sorriest thing they've ever seen. I
got my hosts handed to me bythe Belmont. I got the Yankees just
didn't seem to, you know,want to win when I needed him to.

(36:23):
I didn't even make a wager yesterday. I didn't even touch it.
I mean not today. I don'tknow yet. What do you got?
I felt good over the weekend,and at some point on the show we
will discuss the Belmont. Promise youbefore we signed off today. It's been
a packed show. We will getto the Belmont. We talked a lot
about the Bell. I don't wantto pick that scap. Okay, I

(36:43):
know you need time, but weare in the point here in sports where
Levac I think you summed it upthere. People are starting to Oh no,
no, no, used it waybetter term this weekend. Oh gosh,
what do you say, build thecastle? What was the term you
were using this week? My battlechest? Oh there it is, build
the battle chest, build a warchest that As fall approaches, I saw

(37:07):
somebody tweeted about an LSU line sixtysix and a half. That was an
LSU football line for a game comingup. People already have their eyes on
football upcoming this fall. But horseracing back at Saratoga underway again in mid
July. I get some people arenot wagering as much. Not on the
show plus one ten the Edmonton OilersGame two of the Stanley Cup. Let's

(37:30):
even up the series. I getplus money with Edmonton with the series potentially
shifting back to Canada. I guesswhat it's going to shift back to Canada.
Let's see the Oilers money line plusone ten taking down the Panthers.
Today. I thought about doing fantasyhockey. I thought about firing off a
baseball bet. No, no,no, let's go back to the ice.
There's only a few games left thisseason. We'll go down with the

(37:52):
Edmonton Oilers. Give me plus oneten Conor McDavid and company. All right,
all right, yeah, the otherthing I'm I've got that weird Celtics
Mavericks wager. I don't know.I don't know anything like, I don't
know. If Celtic's gonna lose,they may very well sweep. Now,
all right, here's what I wantto do, but it's not in here

(38:14):
yet. Gotta show up any second. Can I make you feel good before
you fire off a wager here?I don't know. That just kind of
creeped me out the way you saidthat. I didn't say this when we
talked about the Celtics in Mavericks earlier. I was gonna save this for later
in the week. But I'm gonnamake you feel better about your bet right
now for Game three. Usually Iplay this game with you. I think
I'm gonna make you feel better aboutthis. Do you want to guess what

(38:35):
the line is for game three forthe Celtics Mavericks. I know you usually
don't do this. I can justgive it to you. It's in Dallas.
Game is in Dallas. It didn'tmake you Dallas minus three and a
half. Ooh, pretty close.Levac minus one and a half. Ooh,
you don't like that as much.Here's my theory on that, because

(38:57):
you have that bad point about theMavericks and Celtics. You hearing that the
Mavericks were favored, would have hadthe Joe public be like, well,
Boston smoked him the first two games, Boston beat him. There's no way
they're gonna lose in game three.You gotta take Boston. Gotta take Boston.
Wait, why is Dallas favored?Oh that's stupid. I'm still taking
Boston. I thought that would havebeen the theory with that line. You
don't see him as excited, No, because one and a half isn't begging

(39:21):
you to take Boston like three anda half is begging you to take Boston.
That's what I was hoping for,because if they beg you to take
Boston, you go Dallas. You'reon your way. Now. If that
gets bet up, okay, nowwe're now. I'm interested because if the
money chases it, the money chasesDallas, then I'll be in all right.
I don't see this yet, butI do see that he is allegedly

(39:44):
active in batting second tonight, JuanSoto looking to return to active baseball.
I i can't believe he's in rightfield. I thought it was just the
age. So he's in right field, he's playing. I want I don't
know what the lines are yet.I want two hits for Juan Soda tonight.
Two two, two hits for one. So one HiT's gonna be like

(40:06):
minus two forty minus two dread somethinglike that. Two hits is probably plus
one sixty five plus one seventy five. Juan Soto two hits tonight. I
like how this is all coming fullcircle. This means he did solid two
hours of the show before we getready for our number three. I have
another follow up to another one ofyour statements that didny he used from earlier
in the show. This might betoo deep a thinking here. Psychology wise,

(40:27):
this past weekend, there were someof the best baseball players out there.
You had Mookie Betts, Aaron JudgeShow, Hey O Tani. At
one point, Freddy Freeman was inthat discussion. I know Garrett Cole's injured,
but we're talking about that Dodger Yankeesseries. Some of the best players
in baseball, and Jan Soda wasnot one, so wan so it wasn't
playing one, so it wasn't doyou think that rubbed him the wrong way

(40:49):
when you have a showcase of talentlike that, and that could have been
a series where he walked away andsaid, if he played well against the
Dodgers, there's a discussion now forwho the best flat out player baseball is.
It can be me. Yeah,people want to talk about Otani.
People. If you think Otani's afreak show, you could say judge.
But Soto had a moment where hecould have claimed to be the best in

(41:10):
baseball if he performed WELLI inst theDodgers. Do you think that plays any
factor on how he performs for therest of the season. I think is
too strong. But recently off ofthat, I kind of thought I handled
I thought like without you asking thequestion, I thought I kind of said.
I think it speaks volumes about theYankees that they're willing to lose a
series like this knowing the big picturethey need him healthy. Like if I'm

(41:36):
if I'm want Soto, I'm probablysitting here thinking they would rather rest me
and make sure I don't get moreinjured than win on the big stage right
now, because the Yankees win inOctober is like, you know, that's
like a listen, everybody, everyYankee has said that at some point in
time around every Yankee fan said that. So if I'm him, I feel

(41:59):
good about it. I like it. I'm excited. I actually, honestly,
in all sincerity, the fact thatthere's no real damage in my forum,
I feel great. So it doesn'treally matter what happens next, but
the fact that they're willing to letme rest, even on that major stage,
like you know, MLB, ESPN, everybody else. Sunday Night Baseball
was like, so to you wantto talk Yankees? Is there any one

(42:24):
you consider putting your lineup tonight?Is there? I mean, it would
be so to a great time ifyou had him out there. So I
think it's if if I'm him,it just it's one more thing that lets
me the Yankees actually care about me. I at least that's at least that's
the way I would spin it ifI was Boone. Yeah, that's the

(42:50):
right answer. I thought you're gonnago with a different storyline on that one.
Other gonna say absolutely, Soto's thebest of all time, and he's
gonna pound teams that have the dirt. It should be Judge and Cole.
Well, that's why I think heThat's why I think he has a couple
of hits to that. I thinkhe's I think he's rested. I think
he probably you know, if he'sout there, he feels good. If
he wasn't out there tonight, thenI would be nervous, like because that's

(43:14):
like four days, five days theystart to it starts to build, you
know what I mean. So youknow, even if this uh starting lineup
site that I've used for years hasnever steen me wrong, like if it
steers me wrong somehow and he's notout there, yeah, that I'm gonna
star getting a little twitchy because listen, sometimes a strained forearm is more than
a strained foreum. Sometimes sometimes theylast a very long time. But but

(43:37):
no, I think I think he'smotivated. I think he comes out swinging.
I think he's gonna be fine.I don't think he needs to get
the whole negative like, how darethey not let me show them what I
can do? I don't. Idon't think at least you didn't have the
full Michael Jordan make up a wayto motivate yourself and I took that personally,
it's exactly. But no, Idon't think so I got the oilers

(44:01):
plus one ten, you've got Sototwo plus hits. Yeah, yeah,
I think he's gonna. I thinkhe gets after it tonight. I think,
I really do. I think he'sI think he's rested. I think
he's having a special year. Ithink it's you know, here in the
crowd chant we want Soto and nowit's in Kansas City. I don't know.
I don't know if anybody goes liketwo kids day games. I'm not

(44:22):
really sure. I don't know ifthat's the thing people do. I would
never there's no reason for it.But I would rather go watch Remember when
they what the hell got run by? Somebody's playing Mario Kart on the giant
screen in the outfield. Yes,I'd rather go there and watch that than
watch them play. To be perfectlyhonest with you, like I can confidently
tell you, for as long asI've known your relationship with the Integrated Sleep

(44:44):
Center and Balls and SPA, Idon't think I've ever been closer to visiting
them. Doc. Baby Wes hasbeen a fantastic sleeper these last ninety five
percent of the time he sleeps great. You don't want the five percent you
don't smoke if you don't want tosmoke. From Baby West. We got
double barrels back to back night ofBaby West, two thirty in the morning,

(45:07):
bouncing around three o'clock, ready tostart a party. Mom and Dad
are struggling. I don't think doctorwill treat Wes. I think he'll treat
you. I'm not getting good sleep, and I assume it might be something
else. I can blame Baby Westas much as I want, but maybe
the time has come for me totalk to the doc and be like,
I need a better way to finda good night's sleep. My cousin hit

(45:27):
me up today. He's like,you still do that thing? I'm like,
I do. Does it really work? I'm like it does, so
listen. It's there's no shame init. It's the way to live.
Man, got to sleep. I'mI'm going on a cruise in January.
One of my friends that's going onthe cruise. His wife's like, he's
packing his machine. I don't carehow hard it is to bring away,

(45:47):
He's bringing it with him. I'mlike, why hasn't he called doctor Drew
yet? Why hasn't he got themouthpiece like I have? And she's like
I don't know. I don't care. He's gonna carry it. I'm not
carrying. It was like a whole, like you tell it was a bon
of contention in the marriage. Iwas like, if this guy was still
snoring, there'd be a pillow overhis head. By now you can like,
there's signs that you that you snore, like the sore throat, no

(46:12):
real rest, all these things thathappened, Bruce Ribs because your wife is
throwing elbows. Yeah, all thesethings are are signs. And with me,
the obstructive sleep abnee, like allthe things that it's caused, all
the negative health things. It's insane. It adds up, it makes things
harder to do. You can getrid of all of that right now.
Doctor fred Dreer is also a diplomatof dental sleep medicine. I should have

(46:36):
to reach out to him. Mynew mouthpiece. I want to see if
you can make one small adjustment onit. But right now it's perfect.
It's got me sleeping better than thanI have in forever. And I was
already thought of sleeping great with theold one. So it's like they all
work, it's just finding the onethat works perfectly for you. Is part
of the reason that he is thediplomat of dental sleep medicine, doctor Frederier
and the Integrative Sleep Center and balls. It's father helped me sleep better.
