Bex Troy WGYFMHD two Obning W twofor opening Fox Sports nine eighty ninety five
point nine. Fact it's time forthe Top four four with Levac and Guzy.
Some have of the four manies storiesin the world of sports. Top
four to four brought to you byNo hog Hondo. Were they always got

(00:22):
the way to please you? Guys? What's the fourth biggest story? Well,
Vac over the weekend, did youfind yourself interested in the footy,
to football, Copa America or theEuro None of all of those things?
Are they all the same thing?Are they different? When I don't even
know? Allegedly over the weekend thesethings happened. Spain defeated England, tough
loss for a Peppa Pegan company.Spain beat England to claim a fourth euro

(00:46):
title. While here in the States, things got a little crazy at the
hard Rock Stadium as Argentina took downColumbia in the Copa America final. I
believe I'm hoping that's the final.When people were sneaking through the events to
get into the said about seven thousandpeople were able to get them through the
gates. People are going through theac they were getting squished against the walls.

(01:07):
And I mean like there's there's definitelylike lunacy and craziness caught at football
a mark of football baseball games.But I feel like if the most passionate
and insane fan base has to besoccer, soccer fan is insane, like
insane hooligans. That is what theyare. Some would call them hooligans,

(01:30):
they would so wait a second,so copea America, Yeah happened, not
in a state? What so copeAmerica? Was the finals in Miami?
Why didn't they have it in ColumbiaArgentina? Because it's America, America.
I believe America. I believe weall shared and hosted. I think cope

(01:53):
America. That's your soccernalysis. WorldCup's coming. See what happens. Then
let's everybody's let's calm down. Okay, he's quietly, samply walking and out
of buildings. Please thank you.That's why Levac and I aren't doing more
soccer. You guys are wholigans.We can't associate with people like that out
there drinking all the time, gettingrambunctious and riled up, sneaking through events,

(02:15):
squishing herself against other people. It'sjust it's not sanitary. Let's move
on to story number three. UFCheavyweight champion John Jones has found himself in
trouble with the law again. JohnJones Bones Jones charted with two misdemeanors stepping
from an incident with a drug testingagent way back in March. The records

(02:37):
are showing that Jones assault and interferencecommunication could face some shell time if convicted.
According to what happened, Jones appearedagitated when he was unable to provide
a urine samples instead off for theopportunity to submit a blood sample, and
then he said this, do youknow what happens to people who come to
my house? They end up dead? Oh? Okay? Uh levac.

(03:00):
Allegedly, John Jones is prepared tocome back to the octagon, hasn't been
announced when there's rumors that that couldbe the main event for the next Madison's
career Garden fight in November, Rumorsthat it could be him versus Steepe.
What do we make about John Jonesfinding himself in trouble again with the law
again, with a few months fromnow potentially a Garden main event in his

(03:22):
future? This you know how youfeel? About McGregor that he's never gonna
fight again because he's he's far toointerested in other things in life. That
a nice way to put it.Yes, I feel the same way about
John boll Jones. I don't know, like it would have to be a
fight that he finds so intriguing andso appealing that he would do whatever it

(03:42):
took to be in that fight.But we've seen that with Daniel Cormier,
and normally by the time the fight'sover, he's tested and it was in
the fight, but the fight nevercounted because he cheated. So it's got
to be a fight he wants towin so bad and not have removed from
the record books, so he actuallydoes the right thing for the fight.
I feel cheated as a sports fanthat we could have seen the goat the

(04:05):
greatest of all time better than whathe was. Like you tell anybody in
different sports, Hey, I gotto see the greatest golfer, maybe in
Tiger Woods, the greatest swimmer inMichael Phelps. Serena Williams, Like,
we need to talk about some goatsyou've seen in your life, the best
to ever do a certain print,right, he's running around this goat mask
again at the end of the game, right, so that stuff happens,

(04:26):
But like John Jones, it feelslike we never got enough of what it
was. And I know he's poppedpositive for tests before, but this is
gonna sound like a weird comparison.I know a lot of people do not
like Mike Jake Paul, Mike Tyson. Take that it's better for the sake
of boxing if Jake Paul beats MikeTitanson. If you don't like that,
take like most people don't think aboutit. With John Jones, John Jones

(04:46):
gets in trouble with the law,John Jones doesn't step inside the octagon.
John Jones is put weight on,but there is a spot where John Jones
just might keep fighting. So howlonger? How much longer is you gonna
do it? Like if John Jonesis beating people in the forties, is
good for the UFC, But aboutforty five, I don't know when John
Jones is actually gonna go back onhis skill set, Like when's he not
gonna be good? It's better ifthe UFC finds someone else who could.

(05:10):
Hell, if John Jones gets beatthat's better for the UFC because I don't
have to keep doing these storylines aboutformer heavyweight champion, greatest fighter of all
time because someone's got to take itfrom him. Do you want to do
a Roman Rains? Cody Roads compares. I can whip that one out too,
But I think you know where I'mgoing with this, Like, it's
better for the sport if we don'thave to keep going back to John Jones's
the topic because of this. It'snever never it never ends well. It

(05:31):
really just did never ends well.He he seems to me. The more
I see, the more I hear, the more I believe that we've lost
him to whatever his narcotic of choiceis. That That's what I feel,
and it's it's sad. It sucks. Dude's one of the greatest fighters of

(05:53):
all time, maybe the greatest powerfor pound. But just you got the
Jones family, They're gonna some ofthem are gonna go down in history.
Is potentially the greatest thing there couldhave been. That we never really got
to see it at all. Youknow, we talked about when controversy happens
to sports. We can't wait tosee the documentary The thirty first thirty.
I'm good on this one. Idon't I'm not interested. It's a little

(06:14):
too sad for me. That one'sthat one's too intense. I also watch
the Iron Claw for the weekend.Oh yeah, that was awesome. I
actually feel like depressing. It's verydepressing, but it feels like that actually
should have been a mini series.Two hours and fifteen minutes wasn't long enough.
I need like a four or fivehour series on the van Erics.
Let's be on a story. Numbertwo more updates involving tomorrow's all starring game.
We now have the starter announced forthe American League. For the pitching

(06:36):
side of It's Corbyn Byurns Baltimore's ownthe twenty nine year old writing is gonna
get the start. Twenty twenty onenl CY Young Award winner is gonna get
the start. Woo yeay Orioles,Hey you got you got one good thing
for you, all right, vibe. I'll quickly run through the American League
batting order. Stephen Quad for theGuardians leading off, Gunnar Henderson's second,

(07:00):
Juan Soto and Aaron Judge three andfour, Alvarez from the Astros, five,
Ramirez from the Guardian sixth, LadGuarrel's seventh, Rushman from the o
Is eight r Kasimon ninth. Sowe got Soto and Judge back to back
in that line up again that airbetting third and fourth tomorrow for the American

(07:21):
League. I could run through theNational League of back unless let's stop there
real quick. What do you makeof Gorbyn Burns as the starter and Soto
and Judge going back to back,maybe potentially getting two at bats in the
All Star Game Tuesday? Maybe Ilove the Sodo and Judge thing. Burns,
you know, okay, I meanhe's he's kind of good. He's

(07:43):
okay, He's not great, buthe's all right. You know, That's
what it is. I guess LuisHill was busy. He just started outside
on it so he could couldn't doit. It's so amazing. I'm still
We're in July and I'm still shockedBurns is actually on the Oriel roster.
I still haven't believed it. I'veseen him pitch. I see that long
hair. That's like the new thingyou have to be to beyond the Orioles

the National League from the Diamondbacks,Otani in the two hole trade Turner three,

year ago. It was he wascheating, It was off. Dannye l

some irony of people who are verypassionate about AM radio getting a text message.

(17:40):
There's some irony. I think that, yeah, that's fair, but
listen, I want AM to sayaround because nine eighty is the bigger signal.
Ninety five nine's got as small wantI want as much power as possible,
So do whatever the hell they said, and that stupid thing. All
right, love back in guds.It's the GT toys too, This Toys
with a Z. The Home RunDerby tonight probably the best skills show they

(18:04):
do. Do you uh? Doyou want to do the odds game?
You like guess and odds? Ido? I like odds? All right,
I have the current odds to winthe Home Run Derby courtesy of our
friends at FANDUL, because that's whoI had open on my phone. Okay,
I would guess Pede Alonzo's the favorite. You are correct, and I

(18:26):
ooh, this is hard. Iwould guess he's probably it plus five fifty.
That seems pretty high. But HomeRun Derby is I would say plus
five to fifty. He is thefavorite. There is someone on this board
who is plus five fifty, butit ain't him. He is plus three
hundred three hundred. Pa Alonzo sucha big favorite three to one to win

(18:49):
it all. We don't have alot to wageron on her to play the
day. I would pass on Alonzo. I would that number alone would make
me want to pass. I thinkthat's a little too high for a competition
like this. Okay, all right, So who's uh who's coming into I
like? I like Alonzo, Ido, But who's coming in second?
In the right and the right,So this is the odds, This is

(19:10):
who you actually gonna think is gonnawin. Okay, So if it's not,
okay, so Alonza's the favorite,So who would be second on my
list here? Okay? I wouldprobably go with a familiar name. I
believe he's done a home run derbybefore. I'm between Marcelo Zuna or Jose
Ramirez. I'm gonna go with Ramirezat plus five fifty, just because he's
been a monster at the plate thisseason. And I would go o Zuna

(19:33):
at like plus seven hundred. Thosebeen next to Jose Ramirez at plus five
fifty. Marcelo Zuna at plus sevenhundred, you're almost doing it so bad.
I'm just gonna read him off toyou at plus three eighty second shortest
odds Gunner Henderson's Baltimore Orioles job mejust read through him, now, Yeah,
I was way off. Wow,all right, So Bobby Witt Junior

(19:59):
third plus four thirty. Then MarceloZuna plus four fifty, a Dallas Garcia
at plus five fifty, Teascar Hernandezplus twelve hundred, Jose Ramirez plus fifteen
hundred, Alec bohm Is plus twentytwo hundred. Those are your eight contestants

(20:23):
that you could potentially wager on inthis year's home run Derby Pee Alonso the
relatively heavy favorite right now, thePolar Bear, He's got to be the
absolute fan favorite. I wondering ifthat's a big reason Peter Alonzo is such
short odds, not just because hehas one two before he does enjoy it.
He wants to win it. Hesaid he wants to win it for

(20:45):
the Mets. Is it's I thinka lot of it is. Almost everybody's
going nuts over him. Yeah,that's why it's I was so far off
on that an all time awfu leftfor by me. I'm wondering why it
was so far off and into theAlonzo thing? Is that so much actions
going on because three to one anda format like that is not a great
wager. I wouldn't think so,of course, only great to fit cash

(21:07):
is. But let me let methrow these things to you and see if
it influences you. Have you heardabout the format changes and maybe this is
why I was so far off setit, But I haven't. I don't
know them. For those who don'tremember this, there is a few format
changes this year to the home runDerby. Three rounds remain terms of the
length there this season. Now,though, is a pitch limit. In
each of the first two rounds,a hitter will be allowed three minutes,

(21:32):
not counting the bonus stuff, orforty pitches okay, whatever hits first.
And in the finals hitters can dotwo minutes excluding the bonus or a max
of twenty seven pitches, whatever comesfirst. So there's when I heard this
rumor a few weeks ago that theywere going to change stuff up, I
was ticked. I was like,wait a second, the homebred Derby's awesome.

(21:52):
Whoever decided to do this new stuffwith the Derby from the previous way,
they did it so much more exciting, so many more home runs,
so much more action. I knowthe complaint though, and I wonder if
other people know this complaint. Ittakes too long. It takes uh,
yeah, it does take a lotlonger. But here's what I think was
happening. If you went first inthe home run derby, like let's say,
for instance, Levac Ghet like sixteenhome runs, okay, and I

(22:15):
was following the fact, I wouldtell my pitcher to throw them as fast
as possible, like all right,the number sixteen go booo. Like once
the standard was set by the hitterone, hitter two knew had such a
huge advantage that they could basically settheir own rules. I believe that's why
they changed the rules so that hitterone is not at such a massive digit

(22:36):
disadvantage comparison to hitter two. Also, this trump's the old rule of you
can't hit one until the other onelands? Right, Yeah, which which
is better? I like this better? Just going not to anybody actually follow
that, but like you were supposedto wait for it to land to hit
the next one, but there wasa clock, so it's like, why
would I do that? Three minutearound, forty pitches, thirty second time

(23:00):
out, finals, two minute roundtwice yep, Just like you said it
just came up on TV, soI was I was fact checking you.
Did you remember that the winner thehome run derby wins a million bucks?
Yeah? I mean the original pricebefore twenty nineteen was seven hundred thousand,
and then they came back in theplayers Association said, you know what,
let's change that, how about tolike two and a half million. I

(23:21):
am the price pool, which isgreat, but it's not it's not a
lot to these guys, right,I mean two and a half is nice,
but it's not It's not like you'regoing, oh my god, I
need to win this to save myfamily. I would, I'd need to
win it. It incentivizes them toparticipate though, Like the winner wins a
million bucks and you finished in thirtyyou're still geting some cash that would be

(23:42):
insteadive enough to play or participate.I guess it's the better way to phrase
that. I'm shocked. It's notone of those deals where like it's not
even Major League Baseball who gives youthe bonus, Like and this year's winner
gets ten million dollars from iHeart Radio. They're gonna pay the big because they're
the big sponsors, and the moneythey're not paying the back and gods goes

(24:04):
right to you. No, no, maybe I don't know who else would
do it though, Like wait waitdid they need to wear a house?
Uh? Not to the player.It was if the player hit a home
run with the like Century House specialball, then the then one lucky fan
will win a house. I dothat this market these days, am I

(24:27):
right? Yeah? Crazy? It'sby the time you the first guy hit
a home run the last guy,the interest rates have completely gone on wonky.
There's no way to no way tokeep track of any of it.
If you want a house call aformer sports radio host that was not nice.
There's too many of them in thisarea. All right, Pete Alonso
alcabaum Adulls Garcia, who do youare you? Route rut Orioles? What

(24:49):
are you doing? I'm gonna savemy play for the next fifteen minutes?
Oh so play the day is gonnabecause there's nothing else I can wag drum
today. There's gotta be something,isn't there? There's copa I think that's
over. There's gotta be something elseyou can wage he now, w NBA
is off tonight, homerun Derby,Allstar Games open championship. Yeah, let's

(25:11):
you want to get ahead better thanthe open Championship. That's what I'm or
I could start wagering live on kidsTwitch feeds. I'm gonna talk more about
college football's video game release, whichis out now. If you want to
send us a feed of you playingvideo games, I can wager on that.
Tonight I will hold for the homerun derby. I feel like,
no, no, no, I'mnot gonna tip my hand. I'm not
gonna tip my hand. You wantI picked out who's the player that besides

(25:37):
Shoho Tani. They'll say, showthat's not it that you wish was in
it this year. Ellie Da LaCruz, I just saw him on TV.
I you're gonna say that Alli.So this is what happens Saturday again.
You know I must be the guyfor Rob Manford. I feel like
there's gonna be a few times todayand for the rest of the week.
I'm just gonna say, great,Rob Manford is. Here's what happened on
Saturday. Aaron judge, Aaron judginga cardinal Ryan McCarthy got after it.

(26:02):
Tonight at lunch, Aaron judging ahome run against Baltimore that went about four
hundred and forty feet the dead center. So Judge smashed one, Bryce Harper
hit one, show Hao Tani hitone, Ellie Da La Cruz hit one.
You couldn't make that up in anyother sport, where all the superstars
that are the emerging talents, theMVP candidates, everything you want in baseball,

(26:22):
all the best players play the beston the Saturday before the All Star
Break, then the Sunday before we'regonna get to this in Iurnumber three prout
right meltdown city involving the Yankees.Then you flip itto Monday and you get
another one. Then Tuesday get theAll spotlight by yourself. That's exactly what
baseball wanted. So the answer isEllie Day La Cruz. He could have
a great game on Tuesday, butthat's the answer. I just ran up

(26:45):
the starting lineups. My guy's noteven starting. Come on, Cincinnati,
they got the other kid. Theygot a rookie for Cincinnati whos playing out
of his mind as well. He'swearing number seventy seven. They got two
stars out there for the Reds,and Seth Lugan got torch, which is
probably why your boys starting for theAmerican League and not the other way around.
M mm hmm, yeah, whodo I want? I mean obviously

(27:06):
judge question, yeah, judge mefun anybody, anybody, but anybody but
Hotel. I have zero interest inwatching hit. I know who he's bet
on to win this thing, butteammates after her Reese heines. By the
way, is that Red's rookie?I think I said his name, ben

(27:27):
Rice, Ben Riceman plopping the ballout of the park. A little little
young rookie in there. Come on, that'd be fun. No, I
don't. I'll expand your pick.Would you like to see Ken Griffey Junior
still do it? You think Bonds? I think there's like a I tell
you that all the time about thethree point shootout. I'm cool if the
Legends got back in this, Iwould like I'd be fascinating to see how

(27:47):
many Bonds can still hit. Ibet you m so so juicing back up
again, Sam with Bonds, maguire. So this is a different color now
though, that's fine, that's sorry, I don't see color ay Rod like,
yeah, bring out all the peoplewho have hose that can say goo
everybody who's been guilty or it's justit's almost too obvious. They cheated in

(28:08):
some way shape or for him.They come out and they home run Derby,
the forever unclean home run Derby.I know they've got the celebrity softball
game they could participate in. MaybeJunior's doing that. No, no,
get him in the big show.I don't think Junior does much of that
stuff because he just remember he hatesthe media and the media hates him.
Oh yeah, well, okay,let's sit on that for a second because

(28:30):
I need your help here with theage of this and if you remember this
as well, So growing up asa kid in the nineties, the athletes
were like, we had a greatstretch there in the mid to late nineties
because you had some goats. Youhad gret Ski and you had Jordan,
so you had the end of theWayne Gretzky career. You had Michael Jordan's
talent of the bulls, so youhad two great ones there. But then
like Ken, Griffy Junior was goingto be the next one. So when

(28:51):
I was growing up, like GriffyJunior was the most promoted baseball player by
a mile, And then so saidmaguire and everybody else came later on.
But like in the mid nineties tolate nineties, it was Griffy Junior.
I just always assumed, because hewas on every serial box and commercial and
making diving catches and sports delgaty forkids, that he was a media darling.
Did I miss something like did helater on post injuries or Cincinnati?

(29:12):
Was he never really a media type? But I just as a kid thought
he was because you're right, likehe's a terrible interview. Yeah, No,
he like wants nothing to do withthis stuff anymore. I don't know
if it's like he got rubbed thewrong way or what happened. It was
almost from the beginning I know wasit was definitely after the Cincinnati deal,
Like he once he left and wentto Cincinnati from Seattle, that was like

(29:33):
the end of it. And eventhough it was like I'm going home kind
of thing, there was that wasthe winner where you weren't supposed to leave
your team ever, You're supposed tothe same laundry your entire career. But
no, I can't remember him everbeing loved by or loving the media.
So I don't know when it happened. It's just that's that's the way it
is, my friend, And youhave to learn to live with it.

(29:55):
I am. I'm being very clearwith you when I tell you that the
only reason I'm here now se Forcesmart Energy C four popsicle energy actually is
why I'm here because I celebrated thevictory on Saturday entirely too much, like
entirely too much, and then Iwas a waste yesterday. This morning,

(30:18):
I came in, I hung outwith Doug on WGY, and then I
had to go my haircut over myguy Sean took care of my hair.
I almost fell asleep in the barberchair three times. As soon as I
got out of there, right overto Stewart's, grabbed a great popsicle orange
popsicle one right away, save theother one for right before the show.

(30:44):
The popsicle SeaForce tastes so good.If you're like Levic and you're running in
a wild schedule this summer, itgives you the boost that you need to
taste great. I'm never at asea force that takest the energy you can
feel, says the right of theStuart's Speedway. Wherever you're looking for,
grab a seaport. Like I alwayssay, social media, bring it,
show us, come out to eventsand summer. Hey, I'm drinking C
four thanks to you, guys.I say that I said this to this
over the weekend, bella shout out, appreciate you listening on the app.

(31:07):
He's like, you know, Idon't know if I really like energy drinks.
I never happened, No, no, C four. I had that
same attitude. Then I started havingC force and it changed the way I
needed that energy. Especially two youngboys and a third on the way,
gives me that boost that I needto always take. Great. And by
the way, we're out live tomorrow, somebody might be grabbing me a C
four. We might have the treatmentthat I might be getting a C four
because people know, oh, Lavac, Gastric C four appreciates you and that

(31:29):
nice messages came across. Somebody triedto hand me a different drink. I
was like, it tastes like crap, and they're like, oh, it's
just because you have a deal withC four. I'm like, no,
I lucked in having a deal withC four, like I've always you guys
can tell you I've always liked Cfour. The ultimates were there, the
were the kickers that put me overthe top. But the popsicle has got
here. I've always liked C four. Now I just have an excuse to

face. Give me a C fourUltimate Energy and I'll be your best friend.

the president of Nairabats said all right, I want you two to compete.

(37:49):
Whoever wins, I'll have a racenamed after you. You know next year.
At the track was originally the openingday, but we were out somewhere
else, so I called Tony.I was like, hey, can you
move it, little bit? Canyou do it on Friday? He goes,
absolutely, no problem. So theLevac is the Champion race was the
third race on Friday, second dayof the meet. Guys and I went
to the Winter Circle and Frank MiierMaudi did an endorsement of the race.

(38:19):
A summary asked to why it wascalled what it was called? And I
at first he starts talking, I'malmost drownling out, and then I start
hearing our names. Then I'm peakedup and I'm listening, and I'm watching
people who are paying attention to laugh, and I'm watching God's turn redder and
redder. It was maybe the greatestthing I've ever heard read at the racecourse.

(38:43):
is what was said Friday at SarahSelgas. You missed it. Our third
race today named Levac Is the Champion. Please turn your attention to the Winter

Revenue Officer Tony Alavado congratulate Lavak onhis well earned victory and invite all of
our fans to tune in each afternoonto the lavakan Gauze Show beginning at three

(39:34):
pm on Fox Sports nine eighty andninety five point nine FM. There was
like a point where you could hearit in Miremadi's voice, He's like,
what the hell am I reading?And why is this so long? All?
Everybody? That is so cool?Yeah? That was that was That
was phenomenal. I need that,by the way, Yeah if you if

(40:00):
you don't mind, it's just melaughing like a fool. At one point
they zoomed it on Fox Sports.If you watched it on the NIRO feet
I'm sure It might even be upon the IRA Pets app for a replay.
But it was good. That wasfun. That was what I really
appreciate that that was what those guyswent above me on. They did not
have to do that. It wasreally cool all right time for me?
Where my hair go? By theway, I think you lost it with

(40:22):
the competition Play of the day broughtto you on malk Chevrolet. Guys,
who you got? Why don't wedo this? Why don't you guess who
you think I'm gonna take? Yougotta take Gunnar Henderson. Of course I'm
taking Gunar Henderson. I feel likethis is the second series in a row
of the Home Run Derby competition whereI've taken an Oriel. Believe an Oriel
competed last year and I took anOria. I thought I thought it might

(40:44):
have been Gunner Henderson last year.I could have sworn it too an Oil
last year. But I'm doing itagain. Gunnar Henderson, of course is
my pick. He will win thetwenty twenty four Home Run Derby. I
don't hate that. I think it'sthe rushman I took last year. How'd
that work out? Lost in thefirst round? That's not good. I

(41:05):
think I'm gonna I have two plays. I have the I think. I
think Peter Alans is gonna win.I think the Polars is gonna get done.
I really do whoa to join GriffyJunior is the only free time winner
I do. But I want totake a longer shot too, so I'm
gonna also take Marcelo Zuna. SoPete Alonzo is who I'm rooting for and
who I think is gonna get done. But for the uh poops and giggles

(41:29):
of it and the a little bitof a longer streak, I'm gonna go.
Marcelo's there you go. I wantedto go in American League, but
I just Bobby Wait Junior. He'spopping into my head. But I just
feel like I feel like Bobby Whit'sgonna have that Adlee Rushman one where you
go up there and he just kindof stinks fast and doesn't never gets it
right because you it's just such adifferent vibe for him, something he's never
felt before. Oh, there's certainthings we shouldn't wager on, like the

(41:50):
home run derby in the All StarGame. We give people grief about wagering
on the Pro Bowl I feel likeif you're a wagering on the Home Run
Derby tonight, it's allowed. We'reallowing it. We're not gonna question whether
or not you've undred gambler. We'renot gonna that's fun. Like the competition's
there, you're watching dingers. There'snot a lot else going on. We
are not criticizing you because you've gotsome action. All that home top of
the All Star Games and the ProBowls and stuff like that is you don't

(42:10):
really know if anybody cares if theywin. Like these guys all want to
win, or at least should wantto win the home run dirt, million
bucks on the line, million buckson the line, super bragging rights,
like people who didn't know who PeteAlonzo was. He's on the map from
this. Like the slam Dunk contestis popular, but like if you win

(42:31):
the home Run Derby, you're you'regetting love. People are gonna notice.
It's gonna be a big deal.So I think I think it's definitely it's
different because you know they're trying theones where you don't know if they're trying,
and that's where you're stupid to evenput money, And it's like what
like you might as well just buya lottery ticket and that's fine. Whatever
gambled, don't you know, havefun, but be responsible. That's that's

(42:52):
what I got for you right there. And we're gonna wait d on the
All Star Game tomorrow, said,do't shame us. We're gonna do it
Thursday and Friday will be bad.I might see a little WNBA line you're
looking at. Okay, well,here's the thing. You can't bet MVP,
right, you cannot bet MVP.A buddy of mine used to do
a pool where you get the positionand the and the side. So you'd
buy in and they'd randomly draw AmericanLeague shortstop or you know, National League

(43:17):
out left fielder and if that positionwon the MVP, you won the pool.
That's a way better way to doit. That's a good way to
do that. I like that alot. I mean, you'll you only
get you know, you only haveeighteen people or twenty people in there whatever
because the pictures. But like,that's that's how we used to do it,
and that was fun. I haveI don't even remember who that friend

(43:39):
is anymore, but we haven't donethat in a while. But that's what
somebody wants to put that together forme. That'd be great. Whoever did
that's a very smart person and wewant you to do again. Yeah,
please please do that for us.The very popular afternoon show Vac and Gods
heard locally on Fox Sports Radio ninetyeighty. That's what I want. I'm
gonna chase that I wanna have.I wonder if I can give it to
my voicemail. Please leave a messagefor the very popular Jeff Levac. That's

(44:05):
just so cool. That guy's voiceamazing. Our voices sucked by comparison.
I heard him do a hit onFix one oh six. Him and Doug
have some pipes man dug out hefrom WG wide like those are people who
do not need microphones. But Doug'sstill so conversational that it doesn't like guys
like that. It's intimidating how goodtheir voice is. Like Gagly already down

(44:25):
the hall doing news. His voiceis intimidating. Like if he walked in,
why are you trying to date mydaughter? I'd leave. I'd be
like, I'm not, it's stop. You know, Brandon c s Day,
why are you here? I'm not. They're impressive voices. I definitely

(44:46):
need to sleep today. Like Islept great last night, but the night
before I sleep, I slept terriblelast night, and I couldn't even brag
about to my wife because she sleptworse. Five one eight. I'm I
don't know why i'd want to bragitim, but I'm sorry. Levac the
Integration Sleep Center and bosses moy they'regonna help you, help me. I
was thinking about that. I waslike, there's a chance I have to
share a hotel room in Jersey.I'm probably not, but there's a chance.

(45:07):
They better call Fred Dreer, doctorDreer, the diplomat of dental sleep
medicine, and say thank you somuch for getting this mouthpiece for the VAC
keeps the snoring under control. It'sa huge difference. Please call guys,
get him in there too. Hiswife is sick of his nonsense. Five
won eighty five six twenty five fivesix five. This is a mouthpiece,
is amazing. The one I've gotnow has these little like like rubber bands

(45:30):
that keep it together, give itso like. I'm such a violent sleeper
that I'll go through one of thosebands like a week and they're always like
laughing at me. Because they mighthave to order me more. This supposed
last like a year. I'm like, but it's but it's so good,
it works. It's been such adifference. I would be out on my
feet today if I hadn't slept lastnight. Such a difference. The night
before I forgot to put the mouthpiecein, fell asleep, woke up his
