Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Two forty opening Fox Sports nine eightynine. Fact, it's Levac and GUYZ
on ninety five nine Fox Sports Radiolive in the GT Toys studio. That's
Toys with the Z which we wereWait, yesterday, we were at Mohawk

(00:23):
Friday. I don't know what we'redoing, but like, is that Yes,
you're correct, Yes you're Rohawk HondaFriday. We have an interesting show
coming up here the rest of theweek. Here, the rest of the
week, rest of the month.How about that rest of the month.
Look at that? Look at lookat you slacking? You hate being here,
you love being out paanhandling for moneywhile we do the show. It's

(00:44):
fun to watch. Support our sponsors. Yeah, yeah, that's one way,
one way to put it all right, So here's the deal. We
love our sponsors, all of them. Seriously. Now here's here's the choice.
Sad news in the world sports.The logo himself has passed away.
Jerry West. I was thinking aboutit though. Guys, like a lot

(01:08):
of people listening right now probably haveno idea who he is. Like they
they if they know him, theyknow him because they know he's been called
the logo. He is what theNBA logo is stenciled around maybe they know
him as as one of the guyswho helped build the Lakers, the dynasties
or the Lakers and and other,you know, great things, but I
don't remember as a player, probablyprobably don't know what he sounds like,

(01:30):
probably any of those things. Andmy my first thought is, like,
I hope this is like a learningexperience for like younger fans, because I
vaguely remember, but I mainly rememberbecause it's like it was one of the
few things, like my dad whenI'm sitting there as the little annoying kid,
who you think I talk too muchnow, that that man had to

(01:52):
listen to some stuff, which islike that, who's that, what's this?
How's that? What's this? What'sthat? Who's your this guy?
What about the player? This thatwhatever? And I remember telling me like
the logo is based on that guy, and then you know what he was
talking to, like one of theLakers championshipress conferences, So like that's It's
always been stuck in my head likethat. It's one of the greats.
It's one of them, one ofthe reasons you know that basketball is what

(02:13):
it is. Fourteen time All Starten, ten time All Champion, he
played fourteen seasons with the Lakers.He just did it all, NBA Champion
in seventy two finals, MVP andsixty nine. He's just I mean,
when you look at his accolades,the list, it's insane, but it's

(02:35):
as an executive eight NBA championships fromeighty eighty, eighty two, eighty five,
eighty seven, eighty eight, twothousand, twenty fifteen, twenty seventeen.
So it's just it's it's sad day. But I also like eighty six,
you know, with everything he accomplished. One of my rules is you

(02:57):
can you can usually tell how muchsome one was loved by how quick the
tears turn the laughter, like howquick like you're crying. You're like,
I'm sad, I don't have thatperson. I'm sad the logo's not here,
Like obviously I don't don't have afunny anecdote with with Jerry West unless
you watch the Showtime show the Lakersshow they built, which was not really
Jerry West, but it's a funnyway to represent him, like he turns

(03:22):
to the greatness, Like he achievedso much in his eighty six years that
I don't know. I'm not assad as much in awe of what he
did. When you talk about influenceon a sport, the impact on a
sport, you could talk about JerryWest truly is one of the most impactful
people for a pro sport in Americain history for the roles that he's had.

(03:42):
Like, we get athletes all thetime that are Hall of Fame athletes.
It happens. Now, it's rarelike, but it happens. There's
different classes, whether it's baseball,football, basketball, hockey, you're gonna
get a Hall of famers, youget Hall of Fame coaches, Hall Ofeien
executives. Having one type of spotlike that in a career is great.
This guy did all of it,Lavac. That's insane to think about that

(04:03):
when you're an executive and you're aplayer and you can have all these things
and all these championships and as yousaid, the logo of the sport Jerry
West. It's also one of thesecool things that at eighty six years old,
if you've got a grandfather who's asportsman, and then you've got a
dad or a mom or a grandma, however that generation in your family has

(04:26):
gone through. Three generations of peoplecan talk about one person and have different
stories about somebody else. Oh,I remember Jerry West as a player back
in the seventies, back in thesix I remember all the battles back then.
Oh I remember Jerry West was theguy who signed Shack and he built
that dynasty with the Lakers and he'sthe reason why the Lakers became great again.
I remember older Jerry West when hefound himself in some controversy, was

(04:50):
trying to figure out how to getKawhi lettered to join the Clippers and everything
else. That's insane to think aboutthat. You can have three generations of
sport veins and your family and afriend group whatever it might be, and
three different people have core memories asthey talk about with the younger people of
Oh, I remember when Jerry Westdid that. We want to talk about
an influence in a sport. Whenyou're able to do that for three generations,

(05:12):
there's few people in sports conversations thathad this type of impact like Jerry
West. Yeah. No, Imean, I mean it's different, just
different. So of course you knowhow my brain works, like it instantly
goes into do you remember right afterwhen we were in Miami covering the Super
Bowl. Kobe Bryant passed his awaytragically in a helicopter crash. They instantly

(05:35):
were like, we should make himthe logo. We should make him don't
change the logo. Is this Iwonder if this is a situation where like
people who wanted the logo to change. There's people who thought I should been
Jordan. There are people thought itwould have been Kobe. There's is this
one where they open up to itor is this one where they're quiet,
They're like, all right, wecan't say anything now. Oh gosh,
no, I know, I knowI'm a dark human. Are you blaming

(05:58):
Ryan McCarthy? Are you blaming ourdear friend who sent that tweet out earlier
today? Because Ryan always contributes tothe show. We appreciate him. We'll
give m a plug, CREDI whatdo you say now? He said that
exact tweet He said, please Nobodymentioned taking the logo off of Jerry West.
So no, I don't pay attentionto Ryan. I didn't know that.
I didn't know we thought similar,But I like you. It is
something that's there right like it wasthere before. Is Is this a vulture

(06:21):
spot? Or is this a peoplewhere around and go, you know what,
now that we're looking at the accolades, leave him alone. It's almost
the reverse of you know the wayI feel? And it said okay.
So for instance my high school,right, al Morola was the legendary coach
at Salve High School. But theystraight up told coach Marola, hey,
one day we're gonna name the fieldafter you. But now while you're alive,
and everyone's like, why would youtell him that? What is this

(06:45):
what started you on your rule thatyou have to be? Is this what?
It was a little bit like that. And then Bud Poulaquinn who used
to work with had that take whenI used to produce his show way back
in Syracuse and Bud the Manchild,the other take was so again that to
me seems odd. Then he'd belike, hey, we want to make
sure you're dead before we honor you. Ooh, and like you're tak care
about Jerry West, like, heyyou've passed away. Hey, he can't

(07:05):
defend himself. Let's take that logodown. I mean maybe I watched the
much Game of Thrones. I don'tknow, Like it's just like the take
you were about to give to youabout like I with statues of living people,
I'm very creeped out about. Likeyou've always said it, you've got
like every time somebody, a livingperson has said no, you've got to
be passed away to get a statue. Yeah, I never understood, and
now I understand where it comes fromwhen you were a kid. Yeah,

(07:27):
the oddness of a living human beinghaving a statue if they because they are
human and can make mistakes and sometimeshorrible mistakes. The image of watching a
living human being statue coming down tobe like, shame, shame this,
it's too much like I would liketo know the whole picture, the whole
life of somebody before we build somethingin reference to them, because they are

(07:48):
still human. They're not elevated toalmost godlike status. But like there's statues
outside of the Staples Center Crypto arena. What in the world they're calling the
LA arena now? But Jerry isa legendary figure, So no, do
not change the logo, don't changeany of that stuff. Now, give
them the statue if it's not alreadyout there, which I think, what's
the difference between being the logo orbeing a statue? I think I think

(08:11):
the logo is most people you andI would get this right. Danielle from
our sales team is here in stut. I don't think she would have known
that that was Jerry West logan.I think we all everybody knew. It's
probably like the if that was morethan like one hundred dollars Jeopardy question,
I would lose my mind. Shesays, no, But I think that's
there's a reference to that. Likeif I saw a statue of somebody who
was living, they'd be like,oh, who's Like Baker Mayfield has a

(08:35):
statute at Oklahoma. I believe KylerMurray has Baker's is in front of the
police station. But no, it'snot. Oh no, it's a bar
in front of a bar. Sorry, I forgot. But you could say
like, oh, who's this personand look it up. I don't think
people looked at the NBA logo andthought, oh, who is that person?
Oh it's Jerry West. I justdon't think that would happen. So
I think the logo is more impressivethan a statue. Yeah, but we're

(08:56):
saying, like, why is itokay when you're alive? Because you're not.
You don't know it's Jerry West.You don't know. You know they
said they called him the logo.His nickname is the Logo. Would that
have been more awkward than the statuefalling would have been? Like, you
know, we heard about Jerry West'spast every what he was up to in
the seventies. Take that baby down, throw up Kobe. I mean,
we heard what Kobe was up totoo. But I just, I like

(09:20):
I said, I just it wasone of the things I thought. I
was, like, I wonder ifthis is a vulture situation or if it's
a reverend situation like that, Nowthat we're looking at the totality of what
Jerry West has accomplished, and let'sbe honest, if Jerry West isn't a
part, if he's not selected bythe Minneapolis Lakers, they probably don't have
the product they need to move toLos Angeles because he was a star.

(09:45):
If he's not running the ship,they don't, maybe they're never as great.
Maybe maybe Kobe's not even a Laker. That's all very possible. How
they moved the trade that year withBottie Divac and how it all came over,
how he built the new dynasty withthe Lakers, having the impact as
a player and an executive. Allthose things true with Jerry West. And
even here's the other amazing part aboutJerry West. He's eighty six years old
when he passed away. Our guy, Jim Gagliardi from the WGI News team,

(10:07):
the gold standard of g I cameup to me today, He's like,
you know, Jerry West passed away. He was only eighty six,
and I'm like, only eighty six. My grandfather was eighty six past,
Like I thought eighty six was prettymuch like I get the eighty six.
I'm pretty good, but I thinkpeople he eeks like, but he was
over so many decades in generations,like, oh, he's eighty six,

(10:28):
Like I was shocked he was onlyeighty six with everything he's done exactly right.
Yeah. I also thought about thisbecause you know me, I love
I love the idea of being honored, like I like, I just it's
just, you know, it's niceto be appreciated. The one thing I
would never want is to be thelogo he imagined my what would my syllot
be the logo of like yours wouldbe Sasquatch Hunters. That's like it would

(10:50):
be easily Sasquatch hunters. Mine wouldbe what m l e Like I could
be the logo of of you knowwhat you're eating? No, no,
no, your logo would be anice twelve ouncer. You just know whatever
your logo would like? What wouldyou what would your silhouette be? The
logo of me flexing? Obviously yeah, but again what would that represent?

(11:11):
Strength? Courage, leadership? Youwant to take over like an entire word
like you only hercules. I'm sayingyours, I like I picture you.
You know what yours would be?I can, I'll do it right now.
Actually, it looks like I'm almostreaching into my pocket for my wallet,
but I'm not getting there. That'swhat that's that's the silhouette of God.

(11:31):
So the tall turtle just how themakeshift of my body very much more
so short? Like this is theking of I forgot my wallet? Like
that would would be the lowe Weshould make you the logo for God?
Why is his shoulders so high?Did they make a mistake on the stat
ship? Is he a wallet?He's rectangular? You think yours would be

(11:54):
you eating? Like? Like?What else would it be? For Like
I could be like be the firststatue that was sitting just like don't leave
it standing up, but I'm tiredwatching it. Like, yes, I
would be. That would be ina bar stool, right in a bar
stool, sitting sitting with a tallboy in front of me. See Red

(12:16):
Urback has a famous statue in Bostonof him sitting smoking his cigar like in
downs. All right, so thatmy picnic table out back with bourbon cigar
and ignoring the world some sort ofsort of sell your house. There's a
statue back there of who himself?What? Uh? Yeah, you can?
You can move it? Have youseen how heavy it is? Oh

(12:37):
my god, it's him but it'smade out of like rock. It's insane.
Dude, Think about that right now, think about your think about your
your your visage. What would yoube the silhouette of what would your siloulate?
Reverend? Like you? His silhouetteis basketball, Like that's the coolest
thing. Like my silhouette would beI swallowed a basketball, baseball football,

Oh god, it's so gonna beckyou man, oh man, Oh you're

(21:51):
sick of it. You get sickof looking at at our darriers as we're
in front of you all the time. I blame I blame Matthew for what's
happening right now. I saw histweet. I saw his tweet. I
listen. You can blame him,or you can appreciate that he knew what
was coming. Like he's he's likea modern day ex Nostradamus. He was
like, I assume Levak is goingto be a jerk today. You're right,
you're right. Oh, you're right, you're right. Hey, good,

(22:18):
you can and your pick where canyou hate. I'm sorry, Where's
where's that? Where's that splash downof the Like? If you throw a
penny in a wishing well and you'regonna make a wish? What was it?
You hit a home run in afountain? What happens then when you
get to do that besides lead themajor leagues and home runs and lead your
team to a to a ten toone beat down of the Royals. Uh,

(22:44):
thirty nine and four, Guys,thirty nine and four is the Yankees
record when both Aaron Judge and JeanCarlos Stanton hit home runs of the same
game. That's very good. That'smy analysis on that. That's very good.
When that happens, they're very toughto beat. This was a I
don't want to go back to whatI said yesterday, but it is almost
hard for people who don't root forthe Yankees to realize. Okay, I'll

(23:06):
do a Marvel Superhero comparison. Inever saw this movie, but I'm assuming
this is how the plot line went. Who is the guy who Josh Brolin
played Thanos? Right? Yes?So, as Thanos got those rings,
he was getting more and more powerfuluntil he had all of them, and
then he was the ultimate super villain. That's what they were. They weren't
rings. They were they were theywere Infinity stones. The rings rings are

(23:27):
the are the Mandarin who also fightsIron Man. They weren't on his finger.
They go in the in the glove, in the gauntlet on it.
They're not rings. They're part ofthe gaunt. Like you. You're the
spokesperson for Lillian David Fine Jewelers,you know they was gonna ring. No
way, no, no, thisis confusing. The guy's got it on
his hand and they're gallet and he'sokay, it's on each finger. Well,

(23:48):
but then there's a big one onthe back of the of the hand.
Again. If I mean, ifyou want to nerd out bro,
the Mandarin wears rings. The pointI was trying the Infinity Stones was that
the Yankees are getting stronger, whichis frightening like Thanos, which I thought
I nailed that point. Oh ohwa. If you talk about the Yankees,
you probably should talk about rings twentyseven of them. The point is

(24:11):
that after every game, this isa Kansas City Royal team that going into
the series. And I still stickby the storyline because it was the storyline
on money that how much can thisRoyal team truly be contender? Is the
fifth best team in the American League, potentially being the team that, if
the playoffs started right now, wouldface off against the Yankees. How far
away is Kansas City? Can theyreally be? The answer is no,
they can't. New York is thatmuch better than Kansas City. They're that

(24:34):
much better against everybody else in theAmerican League. And after the roadin performance
the other night, after what theywere able to do bunting, not hitting
home runs, bunting against the Royals, and then what happened what you mentioned
right there with Stanton and Judge,and how good they they've been in the
lineup. They're getting better, whichis frightening. And I know what you're
about to say down. Yes,not only are they getting better, there's

(24:57):
one more gauntlet stone thing that's comingto Thanos's glove thing, and it's Garrett
Cole Jason Domingz. I think heis a little stone. I think Domingez
is. Oh that's interesting, Martian. I don't know when Diminga is gonna
come up because I know where theroom is for him, but Boston Dan

(25:17):
just text me Nerd. Yeah,I am okay, yes, said you
know what, so love for comicwhat guy that's there? I am all
right, I like Marvel movies.Okay, I don't. I don't know
why I'm single. I don't knowwhy. Say yes to the glove and
it would have been fine. Butno, no, well you said it
was rings. It wasn't ring.It's on, it's in the Gauntlets,

(25:41):
the Infinity Gauntlet. The point wasthat they were getting better. Okay,
if the Yankees are getting better,and I don't even like that point that
I made they are getting better,I don't want to hear it. As
an oriole fan, I thought thewin over the Brace is great. It's
New York is getting better. TheMets are gonna get worse at some point
here over the next month when theytrade pieces off the American League. We
can dive into what happened in theAmerican League today, in the Al East
today, of what happened involving thisteam, but another dominant performance. Matthew

(26:04):
knew it on Twitter. Yankee fanshave known it. You would think that
they might have peaked at some point, but no, they've gotten continue.
If we did the power rankings ofMajor League Baseball today after that series with
the Dodgers this past weekend. Ifeel like it's pretty clear the number one
two in baseball now is the Yankee. You imagine winning five straight and not
picking up ground like like like that'sit's got just be so disappointing for you

(26:29):
as as an Orioles fan. I'mgonna hold out hope until next week the
Orioles Yankee series is coming. Thenground could really start shifting. You know.
I was thinking about that series alittle bit, and I'm I could
just I just see a scenario whereBoone just goes, Nah, we're gonna
rest some guys. No, whatwhy because we don't need to. We'll

(26:51):
crush you in the postseason. Ohmy gosh, playing with house money.
It was the best record in theAmerican League. I would guess the New
York Yankees, you know, asthe most home runs in baseball. I
also would guess the Yankees judgment dayJudgment May has turned into judgment June.
It's good. It's fun. It'sfun, isn't it. I enjoy it.
We should go to a game.We should. Here's what I don't

(27:15):
like about the Yankees coming up.Besides the fact that they're really, really
good, right now. If Baltimore, if we can just concede this point
for a second here, let's saythat Baltimore is the biggest threat in the
Yankees. Let's say Baltimore is theIf we had it to a power ranking,
Baltimore would be second after New York. Here's what Baltimore's next fourteen games

(27:37):
look like. Atlanta series going onright now, that's not good. Philadelphia
arguably the best team in the NationalLeague not named the Dodgers, but someone
say they're better than the Dodgers.The Yankees. Yeah, I feel like
I'm a bit of a gaulet goingon. It's worse not rings a gauntlet.
I said, fourteen games, theAstros are there, I don't think
they're They're pretty close to dead theGuardians. I like that you tried to

(28:02):
revive the Astros at one point too. I think they could come all the
way back. Meanwhile, like,while you're saying it, they're like falling
off ladders, They're getting hit withpitches. They's just one of the The
Houston emergency room is just full ofdudes where an Astros logos guys is like,
I think they have a good chance. I think y'all sleep by the
Astros stay dead until the Oriol Series. They can revive yourself again. Cleveland,

(28:25):
who Cleveland right now is the topfour team, one of the best
records in baseball, the defending WorldSeries champion Texas Rangers, and probably the
third best team in the American theMariner. So I bring up that soon
to be scheduled for Baltimore because evenif Baltimore, let's say, gets out
of that with a sixty percent winningpercentage, but doesn't sound that impressive,
But with those type of teams,how big is the lead get for New

(28:47):
York? Six games? Eight gamesin New York. Besides that series,
even if they go to to three, Let's say Baltimore takes two to three,
there's a chance that before the AllStar Break, because of how difficult
Baltimore's schedule is, the Yankees couldhave a seven game lead by July.
Put them away. Uh, justso you know, Judge is the individual

(29:08):
of the most home runs. Yankeesare the second most. As a team.
There's a team with more home fourmore home runs than the Yankees.
My two guesses would be Baltimore,the Dodgers. One of those is correct,
Baltimore correct, Dodgers, Right,Dodgers only have ninety one losers.
Nerds, you got one hundred andfive on five home runs. That's nice.

(29:32):
You think you'd win more games?Oh, just fine. I'm enjoying
myself. I hope everyone is havingas much fun as I am right now.
You know the criticism I hurt todayfor the Yankees, like this is
how there we go? Yeah,this is how bad. It's good because
we brought this up on Monday Showthat certain people, more so down towards
the city, don't know how tohandle this. Like it was easy for

(29:55):
certain people whoul talk about the Yankeesto can plain about things like, oh
uh, Boone's got to fix thelin they gotta have this guy substituted,
and they gotta have this guy.There's almost nothing left to complain about with
this Yankee team. I go backto the story I told you before Lev
back about there was a Syracuse basketballteam that was twenty five and oh twenty
five. Oh. I remember producingthe show and people were like, yeah,

(30:17):
I don't know who's gonna take thatfinal shot though they're twenty five and
oh, Like what was what wasNew England Radio complaining about? Back in
the day. I like when thatPatriot team was sixteen seventeen, Oh,
what was happening in Boston? Whatwere they complaining about? At that point?
They didn't have anything. I thinkone of the complaints now was Carlos
or al don As. You know, I like to say how many innings

(30:37):
he's gonna pitch this season? Sohere's the here's the two. The two
sky is falling Yankee fans slash Yankeehater things. I've heard. What are
you gonna do with Anthony Rizzo?He's not hitting? Yeah, but everyone
else is like everyone like Grisham comesoff the bench and smacks home runs,

(30:59):
like we're we we can, wecan give him a little time to get
stuff together. The other one isthat there's allegedly an innings cap on Luis
hill heel. So if like,if he pitches, he's gonna get he's
gonna have a break soon, andeveryone is losing their mind. Why would
you give a break he's pitching sowell? Or the opposite is you better

(31:21):
hurry up and give him a breakbefore he gets hurt. He's actually back
from Tommy John, which is whendudes are this crazy pitchers. But yeah,
it's like like it's been. It'sbeen so rough since O nine.
Yankee fan is looking for the othercleat to drop like they're not sitting there
going like we get we got Coleall just enjoy this right now. It's
great. So I've heard both RollDonnie Gil I like putting my accents.

(31:45):
They both have an inning, theyboth have in caps. So if that's
what you're concerned about in June,you gotta find a bigger problem. You
gotta you gotta do something. RoadDonna came off, hell them, go
tell him to touch grass. RoDonn gave off surgery. He's pitching great
right now. So what would MattHarvey's gonna be the example? It gets
brought up, Wow, look whathapened Matt Harvey in twenty sixteen. Matt

(32:07):
Harvey had this inning limit, butreally it was a pitch limit, but
it was hard to figure out andhe was never the same pitcher after that.
Well, Matt Harvey helped the Metsget to the twenty sixteen World Series.
There also is another scenario that couldhave been. He's also known for
being out till like five am,thank you. But there was other things
that there were other things that factoredinto Matt Harvey age, maybe just not

(32:28):
being as good. The easy onesto say, well, it's because he
blew through that pitch count back intwenty sixteen. Maybe, and maybe not
staying out the five o'clock in themorning also might have been another reason.
I guess he wasn't pitching every singleday, so that Yankee fan enjoy what's
happening right now. Don't try tofind something Like you said, the sky
is falling, the wheels are fallit's June. You're the best team in

(32:50):
baseball, and you're worried about aguy what in his twenties of how many
innings he's gonna pitch for what reason? Right now? The World Series?
This is the one thing I willI will say that I could look back
with a little hindsight annoyance, becausethe only reason that you would rest him
right now is analytics. It's theonly exactly go back to the comic book

(33:13):
thing. If we're gonna do analytics, all right, what do you wanna
talk about that Wilbraine and Deadpool arecoming up. It's gonna probably lead us
in the Secret Wars, which caunbe really cool. No, But like
if you unless he complains about aboutsoreness or anything like, like, Lou
what this is what I would likeif if Brian Cashman and Aaron Booner listening,
and I'm sure that I heard theylistened. I heard that it's it's

(33:34):
appointment listening the fact guys right hereon Fox Sports Radio ninety five nine nine
eighty uh and on the iHeartMedia appCompany. Man, I I would say,
the way you handled Wan Soda wasperfect. Oh he's got forums soreness,
Let's rest him. Okay, cool, Hey he feels better, Let's
play him. Okay, cool,Like let's do that. Let's just do
that. Let's just let's you know, one hundred and sixty two games.

(33:57):
I get it's a lot of games, a lot of games. But uh,
let's listen to the athlete. Let'sjust see how they feel. Let's
not go to the nerd in thecorner room who's got you know, coke
bottle lenses, doesn't even know toget LACI surgery. Wait, can we
get that? Can we get thesponsor? Like, let's not go to
the calculator nerds down the room,like historically speaking, a picture who comes

(34:21):
back for Tommy job surgery, whothrows over one hundred and seventy two point
three innings has that known to youknow, suffers a setback. So let's
go ahead and keep around one hundredand sixty two until the postseason. Let's
not do that. Let's just gohey, how you feeling. I mean,
let's let's be clear. Dude's gota high pain tolerance. He's a
tattoo on the front of his necklike that. That sounds terrifying. Who've

(34:45):
said it before. That's the mostintimidating part about him, And there's not
a lot of pictures that have it. There's no way, like I would
play poker that dude. He makesbad decisions, but I would not want
to fight him like that would notgo well. I feel like that is
a good method to have, lettingthe athlete aside. However, a lot
of those athletes would say, I'mnever coming off the mount. You imagine

(35:05):
pitchers being their own relief. No, not coming off the mount. Most
would say they're gonna, are youtalking about guys? Every one of injury?
Bro? Oh yeah, I've watchedtrain of injury. Bro. Oh
yeah, I've watched trainers go comehere, no, you get over here.

(35:27):
There's a reason why and football,some trainers take the helmet. There's
a reason why you have coaches goout to the mound, because if it
was up to Garrett Cole, he'dtell everybody go back in there. And
he does. He does, Heactually does do that. There's a reason
he's doing that, right, he'sBut Louis feel like, hey, all
right, how you feeling. Itlooks like you're your favorite a little bit.
Okay, yeah, you're getting aday off. Dude, you're skipping
a rotation. I always wondered whyin basketball, and someone will probably say

(35:50):
this is actually not the reason,But I wondered sometimes in basketball why players
would check in, you know,like you actually see the substitutions there at
the press area. They're waiting bymid court, all right, you know,
two substitutions are coming in. Iwondered why they did that, Like
you could shift after a time outand go in and out and make sure
the scorekeeper knows it. But Ithink it's more of the public like you're
coming out of the game, wegotta get you off now. Lebron never

(36:10):
wants to come out. I thinkthey do that to confuse little kids so
that we have those viral videos.The kids just running out of the court,
running around in circles for like tenminutes before the no, you gotta
check it. Oh your host?Is that gonna be my life suit?
Oh? Your host? I playedthe leper Con League was my first sporting
event. I was like five inthe Saint Patrick's Church. Now I'm wondering

(36:31):
how substitutions went down at leper ConLeague. At Saint Pat's Church, I
see I can I see your childrunning the third after a hit and then
when everyone goes no, you goover here him going, We're good.
You know what I'm doing. It'sthe same distance I can see him being
like, I'll be all right.You want to talk about dinosaurs? Are
they glizzies waiting at first base?Otherwise I'm staying in the air. So

(36:53):
far, he will turn four intwo weeks. He's on T ball with
this, but he doesn't understand whyhe has to put the bat down.
It's like, I, this ismy right, I have the bat,
I had the hit. Why amI This feels like if someone's gonna get
me out, this is the bestway to defend myself is with the bat.
I don't know who that guy isat first Yeah, it's my bat

(37:17):
I don't want to share. Idon't want you to tag me get away.
I'll keep you in a bat length. I mean again, it makes
makes smart kid makes a kind ofchance to me, you know. So

they're you need to talk to somebody, you know, those kind of things,
keep it in touch with family members, even dating apps, you know
whatever. And then there's bullies,like like our buddy Billy Fish. He's

(44:43):
not a bully, it's a bully. I got bullied. I got cyber

I see, oh my buddy istagging me in something on Twitter or actually
what the hell we call it nowadays? This must be cool at the jeflo
back. Congrats on the Raiders makingthe Madden twenty five cover hashtag go Bills

(45:08):
if you haven't seen the cover,it's Christian McCaffrey running like he's headed for
the end zone and the team chasinghim is wearing how dare you? I
feel attacked? How dare you?I'm most angry because it's funny. It'd

(45:28):
be one thing it wasn't funny,but it is funny. Congrats are making
the cover of Madden where the Loserstrying to catch Christian McCaffrey. That's great,
that's great. You know what makesthat even worse because they don't really
play each other. And it's likeif it was a picture of the Rams
or the Cardinals or someone within theirdivision to Seahawks, Oh that makes sense.

(45:50):
It's the forty nine ers rival.They play him twice this season,
you know when the Niners will playthe Seahawks. The fact that the Raiders
caught a stray why because they're Ican't even say that a Bay Area in
Vegas right, Like, that doesn'teven it's not like they're uh geography wise
rivals. It's not even true anymore. Yeah, I mean they played,
they played in the preseason usually andthen and you know, you saw at

(46:14):
the at the Super Bowl. Wesaw Marshall Lynch, who identifies as a
Raider because he grew up in inthe Oakland area and he played for the
Raiders, walking around the casinos,the malls. Hey you you and Niners
fan, yeah, bleep you andjust everybody everybody he saw wearing for No,
we don't like each other, Ninersand Raiders, like that's that is

(46:34):
a rivalry. I do like howyou set that up for Marshall Lynch identifies
himself as a Raider. You knowhe's not on the roster, but more
athletes should do something like that.Well, he grew up as a Raiders.
I mean, he's not gonna identifyhimself as a Bill would want to
do that, Sahawk. I heardthat, Whilly Fish. I heard.
I know what Willy Fish does fora living, So I need to be
careful in my area too. Idon't. I don't think he would ever.

(47:00):
And he's not the kind of personwith too busy typing away on Twitter
with his little quips his little jokes. It's the silhouette of a of a
Twitter troll, that's what he is. So I so you know me,
I can't. I can't just letthat die. I gotta, I gotta
fire back. So I I wrote, you know, how did Josh Allen

(47:21):
on the cover work out for youguys last year? This is the reverse
Jinks clown us on the cover,bless us in real life and you know
rater nation. He fires back witha picture of Harley Steinfeld, who is
the Her and Josh Allen are dating. They're not in the labels. I
don't thing. Well, they're trying, they're trying to keep it private talking.

(47:42):
She was, you know, speakingof comic books. She's the young
Hawkeye, uh, in the inthe Hawkeye series. Oh wow, I
didn't know that. Yeah, Iknow she was in pitch Perfect. But
I'm the nerd. You're watching pitchPerfect, I'm watching it was I'm watching
superhero stuff. Want you want toplay with the cups? Now? Buddy?
Just see a little a cappella inthere with Dan Yell? Huh,
you guys, don't break down atune for us? Want me to be

(48:06):
fat Amy? What do you want? How do you want to do this?
I knew it if you pitch perfectriff off, right, so they
did out there, remember jumping offone word and then you start the other
songs. Fine movie, it's fine, fine movie. Huh, girlfriend,
they're talking. I don't know.She'd looked very good in that picture.
I saw that she's an attractive woman, and she's in you know, clearly
his great aim. She's the newHawkeye. But and pitch perfect. Hell,

(48:32):
here's such a nerd she joined.I know the plot line she was
the new member of the Bellas,but it was like a sorority, so
it was hard to follow at thatpoint. I got a little confused at
that point of the show or moviewhatever. Also the voice of Gwen Stacy
and Spider Man across the Spider Verse, but no pitch perfect spighting, the
Amazing Friends, No, the newmovies. There their cartoons. I thought

(48:54):
a lot of the British guys wasin it. Huh. I thought,
like Tom Holland was Spider Man inthe live action, But it's the there's
a live action spider Man. Yeah, there's a cartoon version of Spider Man.
And now there's this you're telling me, well, this is this is
the anime movie this file, Thisfollows a different universes. Spider Man,

(49:16):
Miles Morales. It's not Peter Parker, it's Miles Morales. But then like
all the other Spiders, so likein one reality, you know, instead
of Gwen'space Stacy being Spider Man's girlfriend, at one point she becomes Spider Gwen.
And that's Haley Steinfeld's voice. Idon't like you said, like you

(49:37):
a nerd loser. More. Speakingabout Madden twenty five, did you did
you buy it? No? Ibought. I bought n C double A.
Well, hang out. That's whyI asked, because isn't there a
deluxe edition of NC double both?Yeah, you could about both. The
Actually, I'm far less interested inMadden than I am in the answer.

(49:58):
N C Double A game this year, at least, I think a lot
of people are gonna if they're forcedto make a choice, they're gonna go
with the college game. I agree. I think more people will pick the
college games, which, speaking ofI know I mentioned this on yesterday show,
but wheels are in motion now forhus hopefully out in the Capitol region
to play against each other when thatgame comes out. That'll be a lot
of fun. That game is releasedon the nineteenth of July. Hopefully you
and I will be somewhere on Julytwenty second for that. But what they

(50:22):
won't have happened. And I know, if you're a sports in if you've
played Madden before, if you playedNCAA before, they used to let you
take the teams from college and theplayers and put it in Madden for a
draft, exactly right. Can't dothat anymore? You can't. So,
like, let's say you're a fanof Shador Sanders. Let's say you like
Donovan Edwards in Michigan. Someone's probablythinking like, oh, perfect, I'll
just load these guys into the game, and I could be a Donovan Edwards

(50:43):
fan. No, no, no, the nil people stepped in real quick.
They're like, no, next try, even though they're the names of
the players, You're not gonna getthat because there's a lot of legal stuff
that goes into that. And soagain I feel like less of a nerd
than you that you know that.And I just happen to know who's in
what comic book movie, Like you'reyou're so into this, Like I don't
know who who can if I can'tdraft my starting slot receiver from the Syracuse

(51:10):
Thorns onto the tamp Bay Buccaneers.I don't even want to play at this
moment. I don't have a PlayStationfive. That's a goal of mine.
It's a goal. It's a goal, grown man, go buy a PlayStation.
I have a lot of expenses,Levac. I have a lot of
things going on at some point betweennow and when that game comes out.

(51:31):
The goal is to real need toPlayStation above. How we get to that
point, whether that's between wagering orthe Ponies, that's what investing. Sorry
investing? No, I mean like, if you bet what I tell you
about during football, yeah, itshould be fine, but no, like,
what do you We'll get there,we'll get you. You're wagering is

(51:51):
not a solid plan for you.You don't cash very many tickets. I
feel like I'm getting pretty hot onthe Ponies. I feel like this can
be my year. You know how, I know you're not good at the
Ponies? Do you know what Ihad to do to make you feel better?
And our bosses here at Fox SportsRadio. I had to move the

(52:13):
Levak Race off of opening Day.You know why it's called the Levac Race
because I lost because I beat youat picking horses. You know who's terrible
at picking horses? Me and Ibeat you twice. I've done this.
Now this is the second Lavac Raceand Tony Elevado and Mark Bardak. I
reached out to him. I waslike, hey, gods is crying because

(52:36):
we got something we're gonna do onThursday. Can you move it to Friday?
And they're like, absolutely, wegot you because you're a winner.
So the Lavac Race is gonna beon Friday, July twelfth. They think
it's gonna be the third race.So Lavac is not joking. For those
of whom don't know what we're talkingabout, maybe you joined the show in
twenty twenty four. This past meet, so the meat of twenty twenty three,

(52:59):
Lavak and I could eat against oneanother things to our friends and ire
events. Leavak won the competition againtwice in a row, both on the
final day. I'm so close Ican taste it. But so that is
a true thing. And then weboth left lost to Canta and the other
challenge. Yes somewhere Canta is like, wait a second, there was a
race involved? Why? Well,yeah, a trophy he did get a

(53:20):
trophy. You no, listen,not everybody's going to get a race.
This is this is real Friday Julytwelfth, if you go to Saratoga this
upcoming summer, probably the third racersaid they will call it the Levaq Race,
brought to you by iHeart Albany.I believe. I think we're gonna
have the double sponsor there. Idon't know, I don't. I didn't
approve that. I think that's all. I didn't aprove that going to go.
We let our way into that.We will. So, yes,

(53:42):
that's that's true. The Leavac Raceis coming also real quick. Gavin Bigio,
I don't know we're gonna squeeze thisin the top forward four. I
tease that an Al East team wasalready giving up. We knew they weren't
going to trade Baschett or Gara Guini. I'm talking about the Toronto Blue Jays.
How about Bigio getting dealt to theDodgers today. Yeah. The only
thing was I saw that and Ihad the same immediate reaction you had that,

(54:02):
Like, you know, he's abig name. They've always tried to
make him the same level as othertwo guys. They dfad him they designated
him for assignment, so he washe was already like he was slumping to
the point where they were like,they're like, go get your mind right,
and then maybe we'll bring him back. And then they end up flipping
into the Dodgers for a minor leaguepitcher. But the Dodgers are having so
much trouble at third base with injuriesand lack of production, they figure even

(54:25):
though he technically is a second basemanand he's played third, he's probably gonna
become their third baseman and possibly likea utility of Filder if that team is
so stacked and they've been stacked before. Oh yeah, let's go get Big
oh for the Blue Jays. Ohwe can do that. Yeah, we'll
bring him that line up for LA. Gosh, just got better. I
know, Big, like you said, is struggling right now and he's not
living up to the expectations Toronto thoughthe was going to be. I can

(54:47):
see him having a career resurgence inLA. I'm also very nervous. And
this is probably an odd comparison,but Jackson Holiday was Gavin Bigio, famous
dad, big time prospect al Eastteam could have made an argument you rushed
him up too soon. The onlydifference in Bigo and Holiday number one prospect

(55:07):
in baseball. Bijo was good whenhe came. Holiday was historically bad and
as of right now he hasn't recovered. He's not as bad as he was
in the majors. But the numberone prospect in baseball who also plays in
the Al East for the Baltimo Oorials, it's not very good right now.
Well, I mean it's a lotof pressure to put out here save this
Coca team that isn't as good asthe Yankees. Like, don't put all

(55:30):
that pressure on a young guy.I mean, you know, let him
come up and grow a little bit. We have the top four to four
on the way and it's brought toyou by Mohawk and Mohawkana where they always
go out you're out of their wayto please you. That's what happened yesterday
because we were there at Mohawk Kada. Shout to the McKenna family. Took
care of me, made sure Ifound my key. Thank you to everybody,
and now have two keys for mywaterful CRV twenty twenty four CRV.

(55:53):
I love my rot. I havethe road trip. You can lose twice
as many keys. See, here'sthe problem coming up this weekend. We're
talking about potentially taking two cars backto Syracuse because my wife might stand on
the other day and you both havenew cars. That's exactly right. She's
got the Odyssey, she loves theride. She's got enough room for the
boys, the soon to be thirdcar seat that's gonna be there. I've

(56:14):
got the CRV, but she's gotto go someplace. I've got to go
somewhere else. Whatever your ride isin your family, maybe it's time for
the upgrade and you could afford thevehicle. And you might not even realize
that. Work with our friends inMohawk Kanda people that you can trust her
in the car buying experience. Somany times you hear the horror stories.
I don't want to go on thelot, I don't want to trade my
ride. I don't know who togo go to Mohawkanda. I just didn't

(56:36):
do any of that. He justwent, I would like a CRV and they went
