FMHD two opening W two forty opening, Fox Sports nine eighty ninety nine.
Fact it's Lavak and Guzz on ninetyfive nine Fox Sports Radio line from the
GT Toys to Studios Toys with ashe is leven GZ third hour of the
(00:20):
show. Yeah that is what is? What are these? Are your small
farms? Yeah? I don't likedoing these. I don't like I don't
like this. All right, I'mjust gonna go into it. Are you
are you? I asked this naively, as if are you on social media?
Like do you have it? Doyou? I feel like I was
like doing a breakup there. Doyou know how this is going? We're
(00:42):
not breaking up, but I'm sureeven tagged on this, I haven't checked.
There are a lot of more nastyarena Football League rumors going around.
I saw our guy we love anineties kid. I find him very funny.
I know we are getting a littlebit of grief on Friday's show about
our opening segment about how well wewere talking about you're in a footballlege,
But it was true, like it'sbeen a from everything that's happened in the
(01:03):
league, it felt like there wereno more surprises on the way I feel
like I left that a little openended. Do you want me to add
more details? So? I'm sureyou get tagged and stuff privately and publicly
all the time. Should I addmore of what I'm talking about there?
With the social media rumblings, I'mhearing, sure, go ahead. The
last time we did this, likethe three times I've seen social media rumblings,
(01:25):
it's all proven to be true.So I'm just gonna group that,
and that's why I'm even doing this. There are some rumblings on Facebook and
on Twitter that the West Texas DesertHawks, who I believe were formerly called
the war Birds, who had recentlyfired their head coach Chris Sigfried. This
franchise, if I'm not messing thisup, we're in the NAL when Chris
(01:48):
Sigfried was the commissioner. Then duringthe season they blew a huge lead to
the Firebirds, then almost beat theFirebirds. There's rumors that they're done,
they're ceasing operations. You know anythingabout this and the in the interest of
of clarity and just to be safe. Zach Bug was a minority owner of
the West Texas war Birds in then a L. When he took the
(02:13):
team over, he changed them completelyinto the Desert Hawks, which which enabled
him to bring them to the af L instad thing in the NL,
just because there was a legal battleover it. So that is also what
I'm hearing. I'm hearing that theyhave ceased operations. It sucks. They're
(02:35):
a good team, they're a strongteam. I didn't really like that Chris
Siegfried got let go when he did, because I think the only if it
was based on losing to us.There's a lot of coaches you should be
fired right now. But it's atough year, tough season, and I
(02:55):
know that there's a lot of peoplewho are preparing for next year already,
you know, But I didn't seeWest Texas as being a team that wouldn't
make it. They Zach Bugs.He's good, He's a good he's a
good team owner. I've I havenothing negative to say about him. He
still has me a bottle. Hopefullyhe pays that debt, be a lanister.
(03:16):
But no, Yeah, I'm hearingthe same thing that they have.
They've seized operations for the rest ofthe season. Two games left. Okay,
I'm glad you kind of covered yourselfthere a little bit. And I
say cover yourself, because it's notas if you've gotten any other email or
found something else, like you're seeingthe same stuff I'm seeing that potentially either
their stuff. I'm gonna go toArena Inside or who's posted this in the
(03:37):
last thirty minutes again Arena Inside ofthe source on this to West Texas Desert
Hawk's eighteen was shut down operations thisseason. Anthony Carter, the grim reaper
who only posts stuff when it's negative, is back again. The news follows
the head coach, Chris stik For. At the end of the day,
Desert Hawks faced a brief setback.Okay, developing story so not many more
(03:57):
details have been added to that.I want to back to something again.
This might not be a question youcan answer. This might be for the
ownership group of the Desert Hawks,the West Tisted Desert Hawks, that is
in a financial situation where they mayhave prepped that, Okay, we're gonna
have to go to a neutral siteif we make the postseason, or maybe
operations with the help of coach Sigfriedare much more difficult than we realized the
(04:18):
crowds were. Those aren't really questionsyou could answer, unless you think you
might have any insight to that thatit's very surprising with two weeks left to
go in the regular season, withplayoffs being a potential, they just didn't
want to finish this thing out,like two more weeks and then they're done.
I see, And again I haven't. I haven't talked to Zach the
(04:40):
owner. I have a lot ofrespect for him. I do. I
think he's a he's a good he'sa good man. All I can to
tell you what's different and why.Here's here's what I like about what's happening
in the AFL, and these arethe biggest changes. There's a front office
now. So when the AFL cameback, we were told there was a
(05:00):
front office, but we never sawit. It was at the time Commissioner
Hutt and Trevelle Gaines, another guywhose name escaped me at the moment,
and Heinz I think his last namewas, And that was it. That
was what you had. Well,so since they have been shown the door,
(05:21):
we have a commissioner and Jeff Fisher. We have a director of operations.
We have Gary Compton. Gary Cruzis the assistant to the you know,
he helps with all the day today stuff. We have an,
we have a we have an administratorfor the league, like there's there's checks
(05:42):
and bounces being put into place.And though I'm I'm more familiar with leagues
that run based on and like anowner's committee, it's exciting to see this
thing start to grow real skeleton,a real framework that I think could take
it into the future. Sure,Like I see idiots who don't know what
they're talking about, who have interviewedme for hours about Antonio Brown, say
(06:05):
this league isn't sustainable, Like whatdo you know? Like, you know,
you know that six CIF teams couldn'tcut it, which I could have
told you before the season. Ijust thought the league was gonna try and
drive across the finish line. Youknow that a powerful West Texas team has
decided not to play, that's allyou know. You don't know that the
(06:27):
money and the passion that comes outof this, the parent organization that owns
the rights of the AFL isn't doesn'twant this to go away. That the
ownership like ours doesn't want this togo away. So you know, saying
this league is not sustainable without knowingthat, you're a fool hazard A guess
(06:50):
maybe Zach doesn't get along with thenew rulers the way I do, made
the new front office the way thatour team has so far, which is
extremely possible. But I don't knowthat. I don't I don't know what
the final deal is because they're stilla lot. They're still in the playoff
hunt. Well they were or theyare. I mean, who knows what
we're gonna find out, which isthe most confusing part about the whole thing,
(07:11):
where it's like, Okay, didthey feel like financially if they made
a run they didn't want to embarrasssomebody and get to the semis or finals
and say we can't make the tripto whatever the neutral site is, we
can't find the arena. Those areall questions for them. I'm sure somebody's
gonna track them down. Maybe forfans, it doesn't even matter. If
it's over, it's over. Wedon't need excuses. It's just gonna end.
I am discouraged about those social mediarumors now. I'm sure by the
(07:32):
time somebody listens to this on thepodcast side, more details will likely emerge.
By then. You guys, youand coach where Although tomorrow is Juneteenth,
there's a scheduled flock University. I'msure hopefully before the show wins you
have a funny story about that.Okay, yeah, let's definitely do that
before the show Rhapsody. But soI'm sure we'll have more details tomorrow and
then you can listen to the audioversion of Flock University nine am right here
(07:54):
on Fox Sports ninety five, nineand nine eighty. Let me just go
back real quick, because I feellike a lot of things you said there
need to be addressed, especially whenwe talk about the league. And I
know I took a shot at AnthonyCarter and just called them like the grim
Reacher. There's a lot. Well, that's everybody seems to have this negative
like the people who know the leastabout what's going on have the most negative
view of the new AFL. Theonly thing I would say about Anthony and
(08:16):
he's more than a welcome to tweetat me, He's more than a welcome
to email me. I have noproblem with I don't know him personally enough,
but I do know this, andI'll say someone else locally here in
the Capitol region. I think he'svery similar to Christy Barletta, right,
isn't that her name? The likeentertainment reporter who does like the twenty things
about so and so. I thinkshe works for the Times Union. It
(08:37):
might be a daily concept. Ithink she works for the Times Union.
What bothers me about her work isthat she will only post when someone leaves
a job. So and so leavesthis news station, so and so leaves
this weather position, so and soso, like she does like the most
low hanging fruit content of someone wentto social media. If someone yep and
(08:58):
they said okay, CBS six,ABC ten, thirteen, and now s
they left, but they never saywho replaces them, like if you're gonna
cover media stories, although I don'tagree with a lot of his coverage,
like Pete Doherty would give both sides, wouldn't do the work for it,
but like he would have asked morepeople about but like Christy Bartlett, will
(09:18):
only post the negative story of someoneleaving to not do the positive side.
If you go to Arena insider dotcom, it's all negative stories. Like
you could post a player profile,you could do an interview with a coach,
you could do a feature piece.I hope our guy Michael Kelly's listening.
I know he's on the beat,But you watch what Michael Kelly does
on the beat. He'll do astory that's about a player, about a
(09:41):
coach, a human interest piece aboutFlock University. If the team plays poorly,
he'll give very non biased opinions aboutit. But that's what bothers me
about the coverage of the Arena FootballLeague, Like, if you just want
to write fifteen negative articles, thenyou can do it, and then everyone's
gonna cook. Like you said,it bleeds the leads. But it's like,
man, like, I hope peopleare smart enough to be like how
I just checked out to read aninsider again and again and again, and
(10:03):
you're never doing anything else but tryingto rip the league apart that you cover
that somehow, and and let's andlet's be clear, like there's there's strength
coming from this, right, Soso you've got a commission, you've got
all these things now that you didn'thave before. You have structure. You
know, if if you're not onehundred percent into a year like this,
(10:24):
you're not gonna make it to theend, like this is this is one
of those deals. It's it's avery difficult path a year like this year.
Okay, it just is, Fortunatelyfor us we have three really strong
local owners and we've we've navigated thesethings before. I will I will say
(10:50):
that, you know, before thestructure started coming to place for the AFL,
we've all talked about all right.I've said this for years and if
you notice, this is how youcan tell whether or not I actually like
what's happening. When's the last timeyou heard me tell you that I was
building a team that was league proof. I don't think it's not just this
all starting when everything went when rightbefore Hutton was out, I made it
(11:13):
clear that we are a league proof. That's who we are. I don't
I still feel as that's who weare. But I think this league is
headed in the right direction now.I think this league is learning on the
fly and getting better and stronger.I don't think this is the end of
West Texas and maybe the enemy forthis year, but this it's weird to
(11:35):
me that this is happening. Maybehe's looking for more investors. I don't.
I don't know. But when wewin the championship in mid July,
I guarantee you our phone starts ringing, Hey, whether it's Mike and he,
Richie, myself, Damon, whoever, it is. Hey, you
(11:58):
really like it? There we do. He gets in touch with the commissioner.
We can there's gonna be teams thatwant to come in and fill these
voys' it's it's my favorite part ofall this. In twenty eighteen, the
AFL came back with four teams.You idiots, you'll never make it with
(12:18):
four teams averaged eight thousand people.A game with four teams playing the same
three teams every week for we hadnine thousand people. Right, expand to
six. Oh, you should goto ten. The same thing happens again.
Empire wins championship twenty twenty. Wejoined a ten team league. We
(12:43):
win a championship twenty twenty two.It's a different ten team league, but
it's still there. We win thechampionship twenty three. All hell breaks this
whatever. We joined this league sixteenteams. That's too many teams. What
are you doing with that many teams? We flushed the week teams. Oh
you're gonna die. You can't keepall your teams alive. Wait what Look,
(13:05):
I'm not gonna say here and pretendthat it was like is this how
we all drew it up? Butlike the same people that that Winding complained
about four teams. Winding complained aboutsixteen teams. Told you that in week
two the league was over. Herewe are going into week nine and we're
still playing and it ain't easy,but it's but it's got like it's not
(13:31):
for everybody. But if you reallywant to compete, you want to win,
you want to play the best team, best best people, you'll you'll
stick around. Let's talk about LillianDavid Fine Jewelers shops at Wilton's a spot

So now everybody calls h cheerio aroundthe office. Yeah. So two of
my guys are going to try anddo the Huge Blue Challenge in the ninety
degree heat out front. It's gonnabe great. I know we've got the
dump coming up here in a littlebit. I don't know how big our
(21:10):
dump's going to be today. Doyou find that do you find that as
a equality that you would say standsout to you as big dumps? As
the team president of the Albany Firebirds, like when you're interviewing candidates to work
for you, like, whether it'sconfidence, whether it's uniqueness, whether it's
passionate about something. Have you foundyourself finding equality? Like h I don't
(21:32):
know if everybody interviewing people would likethis, but because of my past or
how you want people to be onyour team, that jumps out to you.
You know what I mean by whatI like? I like? I
I what I do is I considerthe buy in factor. So like the
buy in like, like, willyou buy into what we're doing? And
sometimes what we're doing is you tryingto eat a five pound cow zone.
(21:53):
Sometimes what we're doing is you goingwith me to a very important and professional
sales meeting. Well, you buyin? Nick has bought in? Uh,
Sam has bought it. Sam mayhave bought it more than I want
him to. Sam won't leave mealone. I'll see Sam at the most
random time, like if I wasin the restroom at work. Well,
(22:14):
Mac, do you think CNN Men'sbasketball is gonna win it all this year?
I'm doing a video? You know? But yeah, I called the
buy in factor. If you don'tbuy in, you're not gonna be around
long. Okay, So your's thebuy in factor? I'll tell the story
real quick. So there's a guywho we associate now more so me than
you, a guy named Ryan McGuire. Ryan McGuire used to be the program
director the Tommy Corporate of a stationout in Kansa City called six ten Sports.
(22:37):
He tells the story the reason whyhe hired Nick Wright. But you
can hear on this station a lot. One day's gonna grow his head to
look like a young Benjamin Franklin.It's about the reason he hired him.
But he called him and said,I know Danny Parkins isn't leaving. I'm
the best radio host in the country. You need to hire me. Uh,
let me take that back. DannyParkins did then to replace Nick Wright.
(22:57):
Danny Parkins said, I'm better thanNick. Here's why you should hire
me. Now they're friends, andhe told him this is the advice I'd
give you, and it caught Ryanmaguire so off guard. He's like,
if this guy is this bold andhe's gonna do this on a sports talk
radio show, I think I'll gethim a chance. I found. That's
equality I like in candidate. It'slike if Sam said that stuff to me
(23:17):
and I was in the office withhim, I'd be like, you know
what, I like you. He'sdefinitely your he's your speech. There's a
certain hustle that you have to havein sports media. I can't speak for
every other profession. I can onlyspeak for what I've done for why I
find this quality attractive. Where it'slike if someone came up to me and
said, hey, guys, Ithink I'm the best production director here at
iHeartMedia, Like, you know whatI think you are. Why don't you
give it a chance? I thinkI'm the best person in promotions. I
(23:40):
think I should be on the air. I think I should do this.
Okay. I like the confidence,let's see it. I like people trying
to prove they can't. I thinkmaybe that's because we cover sports like you
work in your sports field. Wework together on this. I think there's
a level of conference where like,if you think you're that good, I
want to see you have it,and I would rather you be on my
team than competing against you. Yeah, I hope that uh this bare knuckle
(24:02):
bare knuckle boxer just takes Jake Paul'sface off the pollic qualities. That's right,
hope he takes his face right?Why bare knuckle box and did the
Paul brother think this was smart?For his other brothers A fantastic w WE
wrestler, no reason for him tobe doing this. Yeah, there is.
I get to see it, andI'm excited real quick. I'll tell
(24:23):

with that. Okay, his newhairdo or should I say hair down't?
He's a new hair down't. I'llshare Mike McGhee, he's a he's a
(27:22):
soccer coach. Or some nonsense orfootball manager. I'll share his because his
is the best. So Landon Donovanwas was doing some commentating on Big Fox
and people having to notice he hadlike a triangle shaved in his head,
like like like a worst version ofRick Vaughan from from Major League. So
(27:49):
he was when knots. He waswent nuts, having fun, kicking his
ass. Great thing. His formerLA Galaxy teammate Mike McGhee text him and
the text exchange goes as as followsLD check Twitter asap and PROBA fire your
(28:11):
barber. Donov in his three facedpap emojis, where were you seven hours
ago? Had a hair transplant proceduretwo weeks ago and was told it wouldn't
show up on camera. McGhee,who told you that Rafa Marquez? I
don't that's gonna be a soccer soccershow? Uh? Three crying laughings and
(28:34):
a middle finger emoji from Lendon Donovanand then literally McGee goes, can I
post this Donovan whatever I deserve it? Good night? He looks terrible.
He got absolutely roasted. Here here'sthe thing with Landon Donovan because to describe
it a little bit further for thosewho don't have social media, so he
is having receiving hairline issues happening.He's had that since he was like a
(28:59):
kid, though, feels like,oh, for sure, but like the
side was so thick. Yeah,because of the triangle haircut, it looks
like there's just one normal, verythick band of hair above her around his
ear, so it almost looks likea almost right, like a bacon strip.
Like. Then the rest of it'sall off. It's just you know,
when the his seeded jews have that, like, yes, but it's
(29:22):
not braided. It's just that it'sit's not long enough to braid yet,
just hanging there. It looks likethat. But then a triangle shaved in
the back, so he's got afive head, not a forehead. He's
got his hair is so far backand then this whole thing going on.
Poor guy goes down and gets ahair transplant, and like, I don't
know where they transplanted the hair too, but it's not on his head.
He must have an extremely hairy butt. Hopefully he got paid for an endorsement
(29:48):
or something to do the hair transplant. Somet tells me he paid and it's
still paying. So yeah, butI love that He goes, yeah,
go ahead, share it. Ideserve it. Like it's like, like,
you didn't do anything wrong, dude, you just went you tried to.
Are you a little vain for amoment? I want to be very
sensitive? How much further I gohere with Landon Donovan because Levanka, your
days are coming. My days,if not coming, have arrived. Is
(30:08):
continue and I see my hair gofurther and further back. I have a
buddy, Bert who really is notErnie. He's really not a roaster.
He's not there was a really bustchops that often. If anything, he's
probably the opposite side of it.But he's relentless when it comes to my
hair. He just goes, God, it's gotta go. It's got to
get shaved. Now he has ashaved head. So I took a two
(30:30):
am uber back with him and hewas giving me the business. I'm like,
Bert, I've shaved my head.He's like, he didn't shave your
head? Yes, you probably justyou know, buzzed it a little bit.
It was pretty good. It wasbasically a de buzz. I showed
him the picture from Vegas. Hegoes, oh, man, you did
shave Oh wow, Wow. Itgrew back. Huh at He's like,
wow, all right, so I'ma little thrown off yourself. I want
(30:51):
to be careful with Landon Donovan.Although if you are a hair transplant in
business here in the Capital region forHims or Bosley, I am ready to
endorse you right now. I amready to take this story. I think
for Hymns is like it's like testosterone. Allegedly, I guess second girl hair
because I gotta here in other spotsin my body. No, you have
hair everywhere else. From what I'veheard, this is fine up here.
(31:14):
There's this spot. Good luck outthere, Lennon Donovan. I'm in your
corner. I'll keep my jokes toa minimum. Who do you think gets
more women? And I don't knowif Landon Donovan is very or not,
Lennon Donovan or Bill Belichick? BillBelichick, I think he's more recognizable,
much older, but more recognizable.Have you heard this story? So,
(31:36):
like you know that he's got thetwenty four year old girlfriend? Now right,
y's out there for everybody. Yeah, Jordan Hudson is her name.
So people of that have wondered,like, how how does a seventy was
he seventy two year old former footballcoach meet a twenty four year old former
(31:57):
cheerleader. We now have the story. I think Belichick's got more game than
you. Apparently they were sitting Beccaabout three years ago. They were sitting
on a flight together from the Bostonarea to Florida. Belichick noticed the then
twenty one year old Hudson reading atextbook called Deductive Logic, began a conversation
(32:21):
with her about logic. At onepoint, it introduces himself. They continue
talking. He then signs the bookfor her with the date Jordan, thanks
for giving me a course on logic, Safe travels, Bill Belichick, and
then with all the Super Bowls he'swon champions They also exchanged contact information have
(32:47):
been in touch ever since. Andthen when he broke up with the Misses,
she became the Misses. She's beenwith him. She was at the
Brady number retirement, he was atthe cheerleaders thing showing her support. Seventy
twenty four. Now you said game. Maybe I'm out of it right now.
I really don't know if that isgame. What it sounds like to
(33:12):
me? He just drew like,don't you know who I am? It
sounds like he did a version ofthat, and she actually may not have
known who he was, and thenlike, I don't know this old guy
Bill Belichick signed my book. Waithe's the what Oh I got to stay
in content? Oh he's texted me. Oh this is interesting from that version
of the story. Now maybe they'dadd other details from they're coming from the
(33:34):
Boston area. You think she didn'talready know who he was if she's some
nerd reading a book about logic.There's a positility too, though. There's
a lot of cheerleaders that don't knowthe players or coaches. Do you know
how many people on the the Flamesknow who coach where is? All of
them? All of them? Yeah? Okay, well coach where is different?
He's been here the whole time?Who just got here? McAllister?
I bet you mostly don't know whohe is, except for the fact they
(33:57):
be like, who's that good looking, tall dude? Like, you know
what I mean, it's a littledifferent now, who's the seventy seven year
old coach sitting next to me?The reason I say game is do you
feel that if you sat down nextto a stranger and again, your game
is pretty much dead? Your game, Your game was like we're gonna go
meet all the women. Oh,we met the one we're gonna marry at
(34:19):
at ten years old. Okay,I'll just go die like you. But
if you if you sat down ona plane and there's attractive younger woman sitting
next to you reading a book aboutlogic, do you think you could have
a reasonable conversation over the over theconcept of logic for the rest for a
three hour flight. No. Idon't associate with nerds, so i'd be
(34:40):
no. You know my opening lineof being, Hey, you listen to
AM radio, come on it?Did you like logic? Logistically? We
are the oldest form of communication leftin the nobody nobody does the wire or
or or what's the dots and dashes? No, he does any of that
(35:00):
anymore. No more code, myfriend a m No, he's like he's
clearly got game. And then,like I said, she was they don't
really spend a lot of time inpublic together, but she shared a picture
of him getting ready to go onthe stage at Brady's retirement number of retirement,
and she wrote, this is atwenty four year old writing this about
(35:21):
a seventy two year old dude,You are the embodiment of virtue, dedication,
humility, and grace. I amdeeply moved by you heart emoji.
There are older listeners of this show, and I will concede the point that
this maybe never spot my life Iever get to. But you could be
(35:42):
seventy right now listening to the show, and you would say, Bill Belichick
is winning a life right now.This guy is dating somebody who's twenty four
years old. She's beautiful, she'sinto him post divorce. Say he's doing
his thing, God bless him,Good for him. I wish on it
with him. There are people listeningof the show who feel that way.
You know what, look like wedo on the show lean a little bit
younger in comparison to other shows herein the Capitola region. You're welcome.
(36:06):
There's very likely a chance that maybea twenty four to twenty five year old
woman's listening to us via podcast ratherthan AM radio, is listening to her
as says, look what she's done. She's dating a celebrity. She's dating
a man with sophistication, with experirability, humility, grace. Good for her.
I'm not in either one of thoseboats. I can't offer a take
of whether or not either one ofthese people are winning life. I would
(36:29):
assume I would never do this inmy life. I would find it a
bit creepy. Well, you can't, you can't do this. You're in
you. Jordan's not gonna let youdid a twenty four year old. I'm
sorry, it's not gonna happen.Now. I have dated far younger than
myself legal legal what was I whenI was those in my thirties. I
(36:53):
was dating probably about twenty four yearold twenty three twenty four year old.
Thirties is a big gap, thoughit was it was either twenty four,
thirty nine to twenty four. Itwas we'll just say, for the sake
of conversation as a fourteen year capbecause it was. And okay, quick
math there, but now that's allright, yeah, yeah, I was
(37:14):
thirty eight. Okay, so wewe're in this similar stuff. We had
a good time. We were bothinsane. We didn't always have a good
time. We're you know, goingthrough some stuff each whatever. But it
was a good time. Of course, my mind shifting to like, let
me do the math here quick,Well, that is this old Do I
know the person he's talking about?I don't think I know the person he's
(37:35):
talking. No, just mister,No, There's there's a lot of reasons
I would go back to country radiogiven the opportunity. Let me just spread
it like this I get. Iwas walking to my truck today when I
was leaving at MVP Arena, andone of the cooks from Kaginos was like,
what's up the back? How youdoing? Man? Like what's up?
Roy? You tomorrow? Will?Yeah? Yeah. When I used
(37:57):
to leave like Spack at g itwas like, oh no, there's that,
And it was like hot chicks,It's like, all right, what
do you want to do? Wewant to talk, We'll get some beers.
It's a very different. It's veryvery nice to be recognize, but
it's way nice for to be recognizedby hot chicks. All right, That's
all there is to It almost makesyou want to go to the gym again.
(38:17):
Almost, But yeah, did you? So there were clues to this
though, like we know about thisnow, but everybody just everybody charted up
all the things Gronk said during theTom Brady rose so that there was no
teleprompter while he was up there.Uh, submitted for your approval, Gronk
told us. This was happening beforeanyone else did. Quote. Coach used
to talk about Foxborough High School whenwe sucked. But now I know why
(38:40):
you were so obsessed with Foxborough HighSchool. You were scouting your new girlfriend.
Nobody knew about this chick at thatpoint. Gronk completely outed Belichick at
the at the Brady Roast, andnobody caught it. Everybody just thought Grenk
was being stupid. Gronk, listen, if they're happy to consenting adults like
(39:01):
I would imagine, Here's what Iwant to know. What happens when Bill
Belichick Seventy two year old Bill Belichickwalks into Jordan Hudson's parents' house, who
are most likely younger than him bya decent amount. Does that? It's
(39:21):
like, hello, sir, Whyyou call me sir? You're older than
me and you have six NFL championships? Why are you calling me sir?
By the way? I tried outfor you once? Like what? Like?
How does that? How does thatgo? They're creep. They've gotta
be right unless they're unless they're justlike die hard, Like I'm a I'm
(39:42):
twenty. It's it's Belichick, it'shim, he's here, it's like meeting
dunkin donut for the first time.This is amazing. I love him.
Now I'm talking to Bell. Listen. If you get tired of my daughter,
I got more. I'll I'll keepmaking daughters as long as you'll come
around that bell. Let me letme throw you a bell. Let me
throw this theory out here. Iwant to call you my son. Rather
(40:07):
than a big deal, no deal, a little deal at all. Another
version of this. More likely,less likely, no difference. Okay,
because of the relationship with the twentyfour year old woman. More likely,
less likely, no difference. Hegets back into coaching. All right,
So here's here's the situation. Ithink she keeps him young. I think
it makes him coach again. Butif I were him, and I've already
(40:30):
got millions upon millions in the bank, I've got six trophies, and I
get to go out on yachts witha twenty four year old chippy. Uh,
you know what, you guys canfigure out your own defense. I'm
gonna go have some fun. It'sit's about that time. I would say
less likely too. I think it'smore likely, but for me it would
be less likely. For him,I think it's more like, okay,
(40:51):
okay, I want to make sureto say that because the talk is that
Robert Kreft was the one who liketried to derail his career, like,
don't hire him. He's gonna beI believe that. I believe believe that
a little bit because if you're playingcompetition and he spoil, like, hey,
you better not hire my coach,You're gonna have a lot of issues
with him to be like, hmm, you're telling me not to hire your
coach who's one of the greatest coachesof all time. Huh. I think
(41:15):
some teams would have read that completelydifferent, said I'm gonna hire him because
you said not to hire him.But that didn't happen, so I would
find it less likely because at disappointhe's a year out. I don't know
what Belichick has to prove unless it'sall about legacy. It feels like it's
a about legacy, a lot forBrady. Run with the Bucks, won
the Super Bowl, seems like alot about legacy for Craft and wants to
say that he could be a greatowner without Brady and Belichick, and I
(41:37):
think it's a lot about legacy forBelichick. But Of the three of who
cares the most about the legacy,it seems Belichick would be third. Now
that doesn't mean he does not care. There was talks you only wanted to
coach with break Shoelea's record because hehates him. There's reasons, you know,
there's scores about the Jets and otherthings he's done. Despite other teams,
they both really cared about their legacy, Brady and Craft. So I
(41:57):
would say less likely because she's twentyfour and maybe he's done and it's found
new hobbies. Well, man,how much can you talk about legacy,
logic and everything else to a twentyfour year old? I mean, you
need some stuff? You go,what what do you got? I gotta
go coach. I'm on with PatMcAfee. Yeah yeah, yeah. Upon
her, I want to any chanceshe was the one with the it was
(42:20):
her Ring camp. I'm on YouTube, the Hell's YouTube. I got about
two minutes here, Lavaca, realquick for my dump. Did you watch
any of WWE's Monday Night Raw lastnight? I did, in fact watch
a uh. I watched the veryend because I saw on Twitter. I
think you texted something and then Isaw on Twitter they were like getting ready
(42:42):
for the big reveal. Three anda half million views in an hour.
Pretty impressive stuff there from the WWE. I kept telling myself that, if
you don't know what we're talking about, this new group debut last night,
called the Wyatt's Six, it's beingcalled Bray Wyatt, the late Bray Wyatt.
There wasn't six of them though,Oh oh, Whyatt would be the
sixth? Yeah, he played footballat Troy the rotundas his father played at
(43:02):
Syracuse. The football connections across theboard there, I kept telling myself,
I didn't think it was cool.I didn't think it was a big deal,
Like I didn't care I try toact in all high end money,
like, no, this won't beas good as the old Wyatt family.
But there I am, as afull grown adult at eleven o'clock at night,
sitting up making sure I don't missit, then rushing to social media
to see how everyone's reacting, andthinking, this is the coolest thing ever.
(43:24):
But I want more and I'm beingsucked in like a soap opera,
a good television show, a goodmovie. So I went from the classic
no it's not that good too.What's everyone saying about the Wayatt six,
what's everyone saying about this group?So I think we can all admit that,
whether it's sports, about a bigtrade or the draft, whether it's
about a movie you like a TVshow, sometimes we have to admit if
(43:45):
you're trying to be too cool,you have to admit, okay, yeah
you got me, Yeah it's okay. I just oh, you read a
book about logic, you're a nerd. You stayed up late to watch wrestling
a rat a Wrestling Faction debut.It was awesome. I've convinced myself now
it was awesome. I thought itwas pretty cool. I mean just I'm
(44:07):
so, here's the thing, like, I can't you know me, I
can't see something like that and notwonder because I don't I don't process information
like a lot of people. Ifyou're Bray Wyatt wherever you are, do
you feel like he honored you orstole from you? I'm brother. I
would say honor in the fact thatit is this brother, and it feels
like, you know, he talkedabout Belichick there or Croc I should say
(44:29):
rock long term storytelling. Hey,you'll find this joke to age Well,
there's talks of this whole thing thathappened. Here was what was supposed to
happen. They just basically picked upthe storyline from where it left off two
years ago, which if you're afan of movies or comic books or TV
shows and you got to come backfor the next episode, I know a
lot of people don't live that lifeanymore of what do you mean have to
(44:51):
wait a year? What do youmean have to wait a week? Yeah,
but I think it's awesome. It'svery rare the lead character of a
of a TV series or a moviedies and then his brother goes I'll do
it like, it's just different,Like I guess, I guess the closest
it wasn't They weren't brothers. Butthe show Spartacus that used to be on
(45:12):
where I can't think of the nameof the original actor, but the original
guy got very very stick I thinkhe had like Lyn Pholmer or something and
passed away and like the show barelymissed to be they would and found dude
who looked like him, and they'relike, you are now that guy.
He's like, okay, cool,I'll be that guy. And now you
know that the show could which itwas a it was a good show.
I'm glad it continued, but likethis just seems weird, like like Bo
(45:36):
Dallas. Yes, it never reallygot over, like he had some decent
stories and now all of a sudden, he's gonna one hundred percent get over
because he's going to become his brother. What's going to be the most talked
about story in sports from now nowthat the NBA Finals is wrapped up until
I'll call it late August ten Rice, like I told you earlier, could
be maybe maybe it'll be him,the swan dive of the oriole more most
(46:00):
likely will be a Lebron what's hisfuture in Bronnie James? That's probably the
rainant. Somewhere in that mix willbe this white Yeah, Luca winning the
hot dogging contest. I would saythe Wyat's six is gonna be a top
three discussion of the entire summer forsports fans. I think it's Lebron,
Lebron and Bronni will be one,and then the hot doggeting contest and then
(46:22):
why six? No? Why six? Well longer so too. This will
be the second most talked about sportsair quotes story of the summer. All
right, I eh, I don'tI don't know, because there's gonna be
Yeah, there's gonna be some freeagency stuff in the NBA. There's gonna
be all this, like like theBrandon Ayuk stuff, all the all the
(46:43):
football, all the the discontent inthe world of football. I don't know.
I don't know anybody besides like thisimmediate group, who's going to talk
about pro wrestling. I don't haveany other friends who besides besides like you,
Boston Dan's only into it because youknow, puts, put packs tables
(47:04):
and sells wings. Like I don'tknow. I don't know. I don't
I don't agree because I just don'tthink enough people are into it. I
don't think so. But again,I like the real life question of if
I were if if this, ifI were Bray White and I passed away,
would I be Would I be thrilledthat my brother is keeping my story
alive, or would I be like, dude, come up with your own
stuff. What's wrong with you?It's a big brother, little brother mentality.
(47:29):
Quit stealing my stuff. That's whatI do. Yeah, as a
little brother. Yeah, I'm sickof them all stealing my stuff. We're
sort of back tomorrow. We've gota variation of the best of of Levak
and Oz. So we will youwill hear our voices from three to six
tomorrow. I got permission to doFlock University. All right, did I

(47:50):

to do, so I called coachwhere and I was like, so,
so Damon and he's like, yes, Jeff. Because we don't usually go
