Speaker 2 (00:34):
Our number three sort of Leavack and guys. Ryan McCarthy
in this seat for Lavac today. You know him, no
credentials require the popular podcast here covering Capitol region, national sports.
You know him from Twitter. You might know him from
the show. Get some shout outs and showed up at Mohawk,
Chevrolet and moy Happy to have him in the power chair.
They call it chare number one in studio with us.
(00:57):
We promise he's going to close the show. He will
not run away before this whole thing is over. Ryan,
I tease this a little earlier in the show. We
were talking to baseball. We were talking about the A's
and the Mets series coming up and during the Top
four for something dawned on me, and I don't think
it was me fishing for a storyline. I know Levac
and social media and we'll get to those people later on.
Like to call me Tommy hot takes. Now that I
(01:19):
get a take and hot takes the goat right, I'm
starting to notice, by the way, and it's funny. So
I'm gonna keep letting him do it that. Anytime I
disagree with him, he just screams hot take at me.
Now I'm starting to do it. Whatever, But here's my
take about the Mets. Though. This is bad now at
this point for the New York Mets. Look, I shouldn't
(01:40):
be saying it's bad because they've lost three in a row.
They've won four of their last ten. But look at
how the wild card in the National League playoff scenario sits.
Right now, You've got the Dodgers leading the NL West.
They're not going to catch the Dodgers. Not in the
same division. You have to touch the Dodgers. Nothing's really
gonna shift for the Mets when it comes to the
Central again, not their division, and Milwaukee's opening up a
seven and a half game lead. Then you go to
(02:00):
their own division. They're not gonna catch the Phillies. They're
not as good as phil enf Okay. So we've got
three teams there, we've got the division winners locked in,
and then we get to the uh oh, here's the problem.
Are they better than the Atlanta Braves. As bad as
Atlanta has played this season, talent on talent, pitchers on pitchers,
(02:21):
organization on organization, over the last five to ten years,
Atlanta has been better. And if you told me the
preseason who I'm taking Atlanta or the Mets, I would
have been laughed at. Obviously the answer is Atlanta. You
look at the teams who are now atop the National
League Wildcard, the defending National League champion Arizona Diamondbacks, who
ever wanted to write off was stunk for a while.
(02:43):
They've been good and active this offseason. The Padres, who
spent spent Machado tatis anybody. They became the National League
version of the Yankees and Red Sox and Dodgers, and
they had to compete. So the Padres are there, so
Aryan McCarthy. Besides the possibility of just the nl wes
knocking themselves out and maybe that's the answer for Mets fans.
(03:06):
Hope enough matchup between the Padres, Diamondbacks, and Donners, the
math works in your favor. They're not better than anybody else.
They're not better than the Diamondbacks. They're not better than
the Potters, They're not better than the Braves. This is
the worst case scenario because all the teams you're trying
to chase down, you're actually not better than them. This
could be a scenario that plays out where the Mets
(03:27):
are the seventh best team in the National League and
as everyone knows, it's only six makes the postseason. Have
you dawned on that? Or am I being a little
too critical of where the Mets sit here in mid August?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I'm going to become John Lovewitts as the critic. Do
you remember the critic the cartoon? Maybe you're John Love.
It's maybe a little young for that. Is it a
cartoon in the newspaper? It's an animation. It's an animation,
all right. From back in the nineteen nineties, he had
this line, the key line of the catchphrase of the
entire show was it stinks.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh I remember that?
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Yeah, Yeah, the National League stinks. The whole league, the
entire a handful. This league stinks on ice, off ice,
it stinks and any and I would like to see
a show of hands who expected the Diamondbacks and the
(04:25):
Padres to have eight and two records over the last
ten games and catch up to not only the Mets
but also the Braves and overtake those two spots in
that wild card. Not only that, the Dodgers only have
a three and a half game lead in the division,
(04:45):
so the Padres and the Diamondbacks could be the one
seed in that division depending on how far the Dodgers go,
and Dodgers of one four in a row. Diamondbacks have
won four in a row against San Diego. They're eight
and two in their last ten and they're beating up
on teams like the Pirates. Who can I just say
(05:05):
this about the Pirates. That team had hope. They did
nothing at the trade deadline, and I would have loved
for them if their owners weren't beat Skate Chief Skates,
they should have gone out and gotten vlad Guerrero on
a way on a on a flyer and let him
walk in the in the postseason, the postseason to another team.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
How much fun would that have been with those young
talent and Flag Junior.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
That would have been so much fun to watch. And
I'm and I'm a guy who is not exactly the
biggest fan of lad Guerrero Junior because of what he
said about the Yankees and the UH and what he's
the antics. He's had a Yankee stadium over the years.
But getting back to my to the main topic, I
don't think you're out of bounds. But this entire league
this year, the National League is just awful, awful. I
(05:56):
think the Mets can contend. But we talked, like we
talked about in the last in the last over the
last hour, they didn't do enough to improve at the
trade deadline. They didn't make any real stunning or shattering
moves and you got Uncle Steve Cohen's money to play with.
They didn't do enough. And now that's starting to show.
(06:17):
But remember this is this is this is mid August. Now,
this is when, this is when you make your money.
This is when you make your move. Right now it's
Diamondbacks and Padres are making their moves and the Mets
are kind of just they're they're treading water.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Let me mark this series. I did this way back
with the Nationals and Mets in June, and it flipped
to pre All Star break and I marked a series
and I said Nationals Mets right in July, if the
Mets are less than five games out of the wild
Card and they play well against the Nationals, then they're
gonna make a run at this thing. And sure enough,
(06:51):
by that time, the Nationals started to cr go downhill,
the Mets started to rise up, and then number five
was wiped away and it was almost closer to or
in contention, it was decided before they even got to
that point in July. But I mark this series August
twenty seventh through August twenty ninth, the Mets play the Diamondbacks.
(07:15):
You want to talk about a pivotal series for both teams,
both games late night starts on the West Coast and
then afternoon action at three forty. Because after that the
Diamondbacks get a four game set with the Dodgers. They
get a Padres matchup as well before they close out
the season.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
But that's weep these two series before they play Baltimore.
If they get a split before they go to San Diego,
that's gonna be some big mo that's gonna be big
momentum for them. They need they need to at least
get two out of three in these next three series
at home. Yes, and we're just not only just in
order to stay in the wild card race, but they
(07:52):
also need to do it because it's gonna say their
season and you don't want to be treading water heading
in to the wild card race. And in fact, their
second to last series of the season is that truest
Park in Atlanta that is going to be enormous. But
(08:14):
right now, you need all the momentum and all the
games can get that you can put in your it's
all the chips can put. It's like a like a poker.
You need to win all the hands can get to
build up your chips in order to go on to
the to the big table.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
This is gonna sound like a very New York biased ancer,
but we are the home the voice of the Capitol
Reasons Sports Say and Fox Sports ninety five nine to
nine eighty. The Mets do seem like the most exciting
team to finish this off. Like we've touched on the Yankees,
but the word exciting wouldn't be the way I'd define
the Yankees. I think about the Yankees. I think about
are they gonna choke it? Are they gonna blow it?
(08:52):
Are they gonna be disappointed? Like maybe that's just the
fan bases, And I'm sure Met fans be like, Hey,
I say those words too. Wait a second, I've described
to my Met fandom like that in the past. Excitement
is what I'm still gonna use, though, to describe what
this Met finish can be. So that means I'm like,
when you're competing against those teams and trying to find
where you can be, that's exciting to me. Now. Maybe
(09:15):
I get to say that now because I'm an Oriel fan.
And even though exciting and stressful could be the same
things at times, you can want something to be exciting.
Do you want it to be though? How is your
blood pressure? How are your relatives and friends treated you?
So it is even though I find it exciting and
entertaining and stressful, that level will be far higher for
Met stans. But it feels like they're gonna have the
(09:36):
most exciting finish to this season. I can't find another
fan base. Maybe something in the West, maybe the Oriel
Yankee Al East finish, but the Met finish is gonna
be exhilarating, exciting for the last six seven weeks of
this thing.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Yeah, we talked about in previous segments about snake bitten
teams and the Mets like my Jets, like the Vikings
in the NFL. It's just think it has that very
starry eyed franchise of we're we're getting there, but we
(10:11):
don't quite get there. We're getting there, but we're we're
not getting there. So the next I think the next
nine games for the Mets, this home stand is good,
is just of utmost importance. You gotta get that moment.
I'm going you gotta get this, and look, I hope
and pray that it's not gonna be a situation like
(10:33):
say in the NFL, the NFC South or the AFC
South from a few years ago, where a team under
five hundred still wins first place. We might see a
situation where a team under five hundred goes to the
wild Card.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
As the last three World Series, the team with the
lowest record reached the world the.

Now back to Levac and Guz on ninety five, nine
and nine eighty AM Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You called jibs on Twitter when you saw this Ryan
McCarthy in for Levac Today, Ryan our friend nineties Kid
on social media when you found out that Sean Martin
was feeling in yesterday. You're in today, a rotating cast
of characters, Zach Harris for the next two days and
Brian Marianna to close it out. He wanted your take
on my takes. Your take on my takes. You've got
(15:55):
it in front of you. Go right ahead. Believe four
questions you wanted answer from you, and now here's your
platform to do it all right, So question.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Number one, nineties Kid asked, yesked Sean Martin yesterday. But
I figured, you know what, I'll take these. I booked
mark these for today. Shut Number one? How do I
feel about Walt Chamberlain? I remember correctly, Walt Chamberlain swet
slept with five thousand women, not ten thousand women like
(16:24):
the other guy did. Also, he scored fifty points in
the game, and not a hundred like the other guy
supposedly did. By the way, there's no film evidence of
that ever happening. So there's another one for the conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Poah, let's go right, let's go.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
All right.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Number two, I'm proud of you on that sake, Thank.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
You, Thank you? Number two? Is Simone Biles a fraud?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Oh gosh? For first of all, I feel like like
the setup to that might have been go ahead, How
dare I cut you off before you I.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Kind of want to go a little a little deeper
on the siman By take. No, she's not a fraud.
But I will say this in regards to twenty twenty
four compared to this Olympics, compared to the last Olympics,
I remember when she withdrew from the team right before
the was the all around competition. Yes, yes, And I
(17:19):
don't know. I'm just curious. In regards to commercials during
the Olympics. Have you noticed she's not as many as
she was in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
But before I offer that, what is your theory on that?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
My theory on that is, I think the reason why
she withdrew from the twenty twenty one Olympics was there's
too much pressure. She over committed, over committed on so
much of her outside outside of the Olympics thing, I know,
the the weird thing with the with the inner ear
thing that she was feeling kind of sick from trying
(17:55):
to tumble because she she felt sick, she feared for
her life from some sort of medication that she wasn't
allowed to take that was illegal in Japan that affected
her her tumbling skills. That had something to do with it.
I think the over commitment on the commercials and the
endorsements that had something to do with something to do
(18:17):
with it. I didn't see her as many and as
many commercials in the Olympics this year because maybe because
I have I was more tuned into the gold Zone.
Shout out Scott Hansen. I wasn't tuned more in tuned
with gold Zone than I was with being on regular TV.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Maybe I phrased that the wrong way. What I should
have said.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Was hell boy, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Like maybe the marketing ploy of her team not having
her do much in twenty twenty four was that they
went so over the top in twenty twenty twenty twe
like the goat paraphernalia the greatest of all time. And
when you didn't reach the like you said, like, the
expectations were so high and when she didn't hit that
the added pressure. Although and still how history views this
(18:58):
is interesting, how it all gets spun around. There was
a time in history in sports where if someone didn't
perform at the level they'd be called the choke artists,
the worst they didn't step up. Maybe we've become softer
in the last five years of sports fans, where not
only did she not perform, but she also was deemed
as a hero because she spoke out about her problems
and then becoming I believe, the youngest winner in the
(19:21):
history of sports for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It's
a pretty high honor. Yeah, for not doing what people
thought she would do performance wise in the Olympics. So, uh,
it's a fraud. I think is a little too strong
in their nineties. Can I would have phrased, it is
how we viewed her legacy for her performance might have
(19:41):
been overrated.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Guys, you're backtracking like a defensive back.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
No, no, no, for the sake of history, unlike Wilt
slash Wall Chamber for the sake of history. So we
don't have this altered over the years, because I know
it will be. I did offer that take hours before
she won gold, so the I mean of that take
maybe even as bad as the actual take.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Well, I also want to say this too. She's married
to Jonathan Owens, who got who is who got time
off from the bears to go see her in pairs marriage?
And I can't say this for myself because I've never
been married. But guys, I'm pretty sure marriage changes people.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yes, you met me right? Or do you me and
my wife? Are you trying to get me in trouble
with that question?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
No, No, this isn't This is an honest question. I'm
being genuine. I'm not doing I'm not doing this fan entertainment.
I'm asking a genuine, genuine question from human, from man
to man.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yes, it will change people.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Okay, so I think marriage changing helping her change. Maybe
you're more of a mature person maybe maybe she lacks
some maturity somewhere. I don't know, but yeah, no, Simone
Biles is not a fraud. Take number three, Take number three,
star spangled banner or Oh Canada star spangled banner all
(20:55):
the way, and I'll tell you. But here's the thing.
Oh Canada is a great drinking song, all right. Most
national anthems are basically drinking songs, especially especially in the
Western Hemisphere. My issue with Oh Canada is the changing
of the lyrics thanks to a certain prime minister. I
won't mention his name, but he's current prime minister. He
(21:17):
ordered the changing of the lyrics from in all of
us Command, I'm sorry, in all our sons command to
all of us command, which makes no sense grammatically, it
makes no sense at all if you just did it
for the sake of virtue signaling starspittled Benner all the way.
I don't know what that's from. I mean, what is that?
(21:38):
Where is that from? Where?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I have no clue.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Okay, it was just that he's just spitballing because he
wanted to get my take.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I thought she meant the grammical changes of what went
on there, not Oh Canada.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
No, No, I've which anthem is better.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I've said that on the air before. Yeah, I've said
Oh Canada is better in the starspank, I will stick
by that one too. Uh Oh Canada. Like I feel
like if I again post Olympics, it doesn't feel great.
I feel like if it's anything that's not Team US saying,
then everyone says you're a comedy, you're rooting against the country.
We can't give any dare America, we can't give any
(22:12):
other countries. No, they live there. God like have a
great song Oh Canada like a you're a hockey fan,
I'm a hockey when you hear that hit in the
NHL and the crowd's going wild, like that's a great film.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Here's the thing with I will say this with with
Oh Canada, I'm gonna have credit where credits to the Canadians.
They actually sing along with their national anthem like a
lot of other countries do. They will sing along with
their national anthem while it's being played. We're too solemn
about it. Fair enough, I would agree with that point.
I feel like when some people like, it's not that
I'm saying, unless you're in Chicago, unless you're there's one
(22:44):
experience you have to experience as a sports fan. Go
to a Chicago Blackhawks game. During the national anthem, they
stand up and applaud the entire time.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I would say, it's just not one yeah, like the
star spangled banner. Uh, because I have it second doesn't
make it last. And Ricky Bombie's dad would disagree with
me on that. But looking at what O Canada is,
it's pretty awesome, so I would stick with that. I
thought I got you there for a second, that you
were in a flip, but no, just make.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Sure I don't see what being carried out in an
Applebee's after causing a scene.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay, okay, all right, I believe we have one more.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
We have one more. Do I hate old people?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Very wide ranging question as well.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
I am turning into an old person. I will be
turning forty seven next Tuesday. Okay, I'm turning into an
old person. I can't hate my own kind. But also,
there's also somebody who loved his grandparents. Dear rn.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. This is
the problem here. First of all, when you open with
the mid forties elderly, in my mind, I'm like, oh,
I'm talking about the elderly. That's what he means. I
don't consider some in their forties that older mid forties
or late forties. I'm not talking about it joking. That's right.
Immediately it was one to it would have actually sounded
worse of him, like no, no, no, I mean way
(24:09):
older people I know. But then quickly you're like, I
love my grandparents. I've never said it in like my grandparents.
This is the problem with you still like other old people.
Right see, this is the problem with social media. And
I'm gonna have a story coming up in about ten
minutes about headline grabbing, in headline stealing, whether it's someone
listening to something they only want to hear something, they
(24:31):
want to hear it, they only want to react to something.
There has been an at I'm just just moving along.
Just come on, move it a little quicker. Just got
a old person's in front of you. Gotta walk by him.
Pull out the checks. You're writing checks is some stuff
like come on, just get going. So you're a fan
of old people and what they do is what you're
telling me.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
It's not so much what they do, but like I
like hearing stories about past times, like the nineteen forties
is one of my favorite erarors in history, World War
Two being being the Nazis, the campaigns in the Pacific.
Love hearing those stories, love hearing the old time, love
hearing the soldiers come on Private Ryan, Oh yeah, I'm
(25:17):
oh yeah, I'm doing this. This is this is happening.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I have no problem with That's Ryan McCarthy.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Am I gonna be invited back in November?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yes, yes, yes, you'll be back, and me and.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
The other my fellow old person, Jeff Jeff Jeffrey Allen
Levaka will be behind the micros.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
You know what I should have I should have should
have known that was coming. How did I think that
was gonna go? Did I think it was gonna go? Well?
For me responding to my bad take, Here's what I'm
realized on this show.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
You should have answered that question yourself.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
There are so many there's I don't know what the
show has become now because there are so many people
that are enjoying this more than anything we bring, like
when the football season comes back, we'll have Fantasy versus Anity.
It's become one of the most popular segments. A lot
of people have enjoyed the play of the day, the
Sunday the Sunday Football eleven to one show, Like, there's
been some really cool stuff that has happened on the
(26:10):
Fox Sports side. The different style in which we do
interviews with a lot longer, like we're not trying to
hit a clock. We try to extend the whole interview.
But whatever has happened the last month and a half,
there's a true ingentlemen, of people hating my takes, there
is a truth. I got an email during the break.
Paddock saw your email. I won't read it, but he
(26:31):
opened with a compliment like Ted Lasso, people enjoy hearing
my terrible takes. These This is not a bit. I
have good ones. No one remembers the good ones. Ryan McCarthy,
I got great takes. They're all up here?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Are they hot takes?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Doesn't matter what temperature they are. I prefer sometimes they
are hot.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
I am working on a day, I am working on
a hot takes. The goat picture. By the way, thank.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
You, I know you're a fan of C four. By
the way, Sea four Smart Energy Bank Wrell Challenge rolls
on on Thursday. We're gonna be broadcasting the line from
Rivers Casino resort. I had a C four today, popsicle
flavor Stuart's Speedway. Highly recommend cherry. I put cherry in
the fridge today. Look, all the Sea fours are wonderful,
(27:17):
they always all taste great, But Cherry's on another level.
Cherry is It's one in two for me for the cherry.
Try that. If you're gonna start with the Sea four.
If you're maybe somebody who says, I don't know if
I'm into energy drinks, I don't know if I need
that boost, get a cherry popsicle. Tag us on social media,

Speaker 2 (29:22):
I want you to lead off on this because you

start to do this more often. You added to the
show run today and you had a story for the dump.
You were ready to go with my friend. You lead
this off. What do you got here to lead off
the dump?
Speaker 5 (29:36):
All right? So leading off the dump, we're gonna talk
about the the CEO of Chippotele is Chipotle.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Sorry I looked that pronunciation better. Actually about like the
hot deep pot pronunciation or lows.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, but the Chipotle CEO is now the Starbucks ceo.
What he's now the Starbucks ceo? I don't know his name,
but I found it on Twitter. Shout to nineties Kid
for coming to gun at first.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Oh my gosh, this whole hour's been owned by nineties kid.
I stocked in the show. My goodness, I know he's
our he's the uh. He's he's I wouldn't say the
screen door to our submarine, but he's the uh. He's definitely,
he's definitely something. He's definitely something. But he commented done
at first, and I had to chime in myself. So
I came up with a I guess I could say
half fast top top ten of the new items that
(30:27):
will be featured at Starbucks.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Oh you Potely ceo coming on board.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
We've got like a letterman top ten here to close
out the show.
Speaker 5 (30:35):
Shout out to Dave landaut of my favorite comedians. This
showed Normal World Podcast, No wor World. He's got half
as top ten. I'm gonna pay some tribute to him.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Do you want me to be like Paul Schaeffer in here?
Do you need like a drum roll? Do you want
me a drum roll? Every want you want to rip
through this.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
You know what, let's let's let's save the drum roll.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
For number one. All right, fair enough? Sorry, So here
we go, number five.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Number five.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Oh it's five.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
There's ten, Well it's no. Half of ten is five.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Oh okay, I'm getting this now. Okay, math guys, math
half asked top ten list that actually starts at five? Yes, okay,
so at.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Number five, coming in hot at number five, literally and
figuredly speaking, Mexican coffee.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I don't know what that is. I'm a very new
coffee drinker. I really don't drink coffee that much anymore,
thanks to our friends at Sea four Energy.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
It's literally a coffee for Mexico. Oh okay, with a
little bit of a little bit of uh cayenne pepper. Whoa,
I had a little spice to your a little spice
to your morning.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I don't need that. I don't need that in my
life much.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
No, I don't think anybody needs that in the life
unless you're really looks like on a diet or something
or just need to just need to get your stuff
out of your system right away. All right, So that's
number five Mexican coffee number four, potato cheddar soapopias.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Am I a dumb person? I'm not. You've now given
me two wonderful things that I'm in again. I have
no idea what your what is that? I don't know
what that is?
Speaker 5 (31:55):
So it's gonna replace the potato cheddar chive bites that
are currently at at Starbucks. I guess they're pretty good. U.
But soapa pias are like, uh, let's do the let's
do some real time, real time research about soapa pias. Uh,
it's a it's a fried dough food. Okay, ically fried dough,
so fried potato cheddar fried dough pass.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Not a fried dough person never did the fried dough.
You're missing out, my friend, I know my wife is
very big in a fried dough. She said, what do
you mean to go to fairs in places don't get
fried dough? As if I was an alien from planet Earth?
But were you?
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Just? Were you as depride? They're as sheltered as I
was when I was a kid. You're missed on so much.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I hope what's number three? A hopefull? I know the
food on this one.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
So number three because they feature this that already at Starbucks.
It's their souvied egg bites, but they're a dobo egg bites.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I believe I've had these before. I believe I've had
these on a early road trip. I think I've had
these are at Starbucks, you said, right now. But a
little twist because of the two, Like, okay, I'm proud.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Because the Chipotle connection. Yeah, there's a little twist on that.
I had myself some adobo chicken yesterday. As for lunch.
It's delightful and I'm pretty sure they'll do well as
a as a as a little uh, a little bite
if you need a little quick bite, little protein in
your diet, quick quick thing of that. Get suv gig
(33:20):
suv to egg bites, a Dobo egg bites. Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
What is dose two? What is number two on this list?
All right?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Number ow dose on this list? Pumpkin spice churros.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Okay, I see why we get the ranking here. Everyone
loves pumpkin flavored stuff. I know what a churro is.
I think I've had it less than five times in
my life. This one is my favorite. I feel like
there's a tear system here. Ryan McCarthy, Yes, three, four
and five, are not on the level of two I'm
excited for it? Are you a pumpkin guy when the
time calls for it?
Speaker 5 (33:52):
When the time calls for it, not when it's August
and it's still ninety degrees out with ninety degree humidity.
Ier I go on buy any ol trip by annual
trips to North Carolina. Right, there's Dunkin Donuts and the
other banks in Kerala love the outer banks love Korala
love Dunkin Donuts, but Ducking Donuts always comes out with
(34:12):
their pumpkin spice stuff in the middle of August. I'm like,
it's not even my birthday and you're already coming out
with pumpkin spice everything. Can we save it to the fall?
I mean I want to. I want my summer to
be summer.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
That's it. I think it's you're not asking for much. No,
just keep the ugs boots, keep the the hunter boots,
keep the flannels, keep the pumpkin in the fall. That's
all you know.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
When I come to power, the pumpkins stays in the fall,
does not start in the middle of August.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
And number one.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
Multi colored chips to go with your unicorn frappucino.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Whoa WHOA, what hell?
Speaker 5 (34:57):
You don't remember the Ukorn frappuccino.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I've here's the thing with the frappuccina.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I was one of those people who told me like
to do the TikTok orders. So I used to get
like a cookies and cream, some short sort of frappuccino
thing at Starbucks. I don't know if it's still out there.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
I don't know either. I don't really go to Starbucks,
but I just saw this news items. I'm going let
this news item. I'm going, all right, we got we
gotta talk about this dump.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I feel like this is what I used to order, though,
do you have the ingredients of what goes into this
or what could potentially go into this?
Speaker 5 (35:28):
In a unicorn frappucina, it's.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
A sprinkles stars Hopes aspirations.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
Are edible spring like edible glitter. The Unicorn frappuccino. It
was a viral drink. It was a It was a
viral drink created by Starbucks. This is according to Wikipedia.
You want to set my sources here? I remember college
if I got yelled at set my sources. Introduced in
April twenty seventeen. It's made with ice, milk, pink powder, sour,
(35:59):
blue powder, crem frappercino, So I gotta say correctly, crem,
not cream, Krem frappercino, syrup, mango syrup, and blue drizzle
in the twenty four out size. Tell you, guys, how
many calories this drink was in the twenty four out size.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I would say nine hundred calories.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
That's a little lower than that.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Okay, thank goodness, it's five hundred calories, all right, Thank
goodness with.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
With eighteen grams of fat, seventy six seventy six grams
of sugar, and fifty five milligrams of cholesterol. Was only
available for a limited time, ending on April twenty fifth,
twenty seventeen. So I I have a feeling if your
potely CEO, I know, I know you're listening out there.
I know you're a fan of vacking guys. I know
(36:45):
you're a fan of no credentials required. I know you listen.
If you want to bring back the Unicorn frappercino for
limited time and had those multi flavored, multicolored flavored chips
or multicolored chips to go with the Unicorn frappuccino, I
be against it.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
The future is on the way. Some would say the
future is the presence this weekure is right now, right now. Anyway,
doth bolted stupid puns of now with presidence, like is
it someone wasn't going to put pick up our stupid
I'm gonna move on to my story. Here go. Here's
what I have in the dump today. I could go
on for about three hours on this. And this is
(37:22):
why I went to the dump because I would have
invaded a whole segment of the show today about big
Jay journalism. And I'm sure you've read reports out there
and media land about all news radio and newspapers changing
and all. There's a bunch of stuff going on into
the sports media world to just media in general this week.
This is the stuff that bothers me. Chris Carlson's never
(37:43):
been on the show before. I actually like Chris Carlson.
He's a writer for Syracuse dot Com. I think he
does a really nice job, especially when it came to
the nil stuff, and he's got a fantastic piece out
about the offense. His coverage of Syracuse football is the
best right now of anybody, including Pete writers. But I
have a very good suspicion that a editor got to
him on this. Here was a headline story about Syracuse
(38:03):
Football today about Jim Beheim. Tibehan doesn't coach Syracuse football.
Tobeham has nothing to do with Syracuse football. The headline
from Syracuse dot com today Jim Beheim jabs Ohio State
for running off cal McCord. Quote, He's certainly good enough
for us. Okay.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
When I read that headline, and I read it three
or four times earlier today, I got confused. I thought
he said, Jim Beheim jabs Ohio State and cal McCord,
he's certainly good enough for us. In other words, what
I thought he meant was, well, we suck and we
got McCord, so he's good enough for us, about right,
And I make like, what the hell, Beheim, why are
(38:44):
you taking a shot at Syracuse? Go back to being red?
So all of a sudden, I'm all fired up, right,
And then I'm like, no, no, no, Beheim is on
the side of Syracuse. He's taking a jab at Ohio State,
and now Ohio State fans gonna look at me like, hey,
what the hey, Yeah, I looked at the story. Coach
Beheim gives credit to how good he's been in the
community forty seven years. He's before in Syracuse trying to
(39:05):
tell people, Hey, everyone talking about ten wins with coach Brown,
everybody relaxed. I would say the third to last paragraph
of this is when the quote comes back quote he
may not be good enough for Ohio State, but he's
certainly good enough for us. I've watched in practice. He
can throw the ball. They brought in a bunch of
guys that can play. This has nothing to do with
(39:26):
the article at all. The whole article is about Kyle
McCord being a standout player for Syracuse football, what he
can mean to the community, what he means for the
pro The article is not about blasting Ohio State. The
article is not about blasting Jim Behi. The article is
about a quarter but because we gotta get the clicks,
because we gotta get the headlines, gotta get that SEO,
(39:46):
gotta get that engagement. Some editor out there twisted the
story of Chris Carlson, who did a great job on this,
to get dem clicks. So I've worked up about this
because it's like, Hey, give somebody credit Jim Beheim for compliments,
cal McCord for playing well Chris Carlson for putting in
the work. Not hey, it's mid August, we need some
clicks to it. I was so bothered by this where
(40:08):
it's like, it's not what you right, you podcast holt
You dude, does this frustrates? We had Showe Martin on yesterday.
It's got a frustrate guys like you.
Speaker 5 (40:15):
Yeah, it's it's it's something in the business called burying
the lead where you have a click, you have a
clickbaitish title, and you don't get into what he actually
said it until it's actually the meat and potatoes of
the article, meat potatoes, until four or five paragraphs in
(40:35):
or or towards the end of the article. Can you
put it at least in the beginning to say, hey,
this is what coach Beheim said about Kyle McCord. No,
you're just putting a You're just putting a clickbaitish title
right there. And it's basically a nothing burger of no substance.
It's junk food. It's the junk food of media consumption.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Now, somebody would probably tell me this is the new
way you do it, where you write the article and
the last part of the articles the title of what
goes up on the internet. So for instance, like let's
say he said coach hall of Fame coach talks cal McCord.
Now that's a good headline to me. Yeah, because you
don't know who the Hall of Fame coach is? Is
it Nick saban Is. I'm not sure if statements in
the Hall of Fame, but yes, you get the concept.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
He's gonna he'll be there.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Right A really big time coach said something great about
the Syracuse coach. What is that? That's how I would
have titled it right now, say hey, hey, that's a
Hall Ofame basketball coach on a football coach. But the
idea that it's jabs and gets people worked up, and
someone would say, hey, I got the headline done. You're
talking about my article. You reacted the way you clicked
on it. I want it's just now what it's about.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
Man, it's not no And you're talking about two different
sports here, Like I get it. Jim Bheim's been a
staple of that Syracuse era. You know, you lived in
that area, you were born and raised at Syracuse three
one five represent but you're talking two totally different sports.
You're going You're you're talking about basketball, comparing it to football.
(41:58):
It's like it's Apple's New Oranges, so to speak, because
it's Turkey storage.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
See yeah, I suit you did there. Maybe this one
bothers me a little bit more because of where I
used to work, and this would be like a hey,
give me the top seven ice creams in the Capitol region.
What sports fans want? Sports content? What about this top
six tallest trees in Albany? Don't you want that on
our social media feeds? Maybe that's why this one bothers
me a little bit more. I really do think it's
(42:23):
more about trying to bait people into it.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
You know who's the you know who's number seven on
that top trees list? Unble Mention Who? Tom Gislawski, Thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
It's very See Ryan knows what he's doing. He wants
back on to co hosts the show. Wrapps up a

Our number three sort of Leavack and guys. Ryan McCarthy
in this seat for Lavac today. You know him, no
credentials require the popular podcast here covering Capitol region, national sports.
You know him from Twitter. You might know him from
the show. Get some shout outs and showed up at Mohawk,
Chevrolet and moy Happy to have him in the power chair.
They call it chare number one in studio with us.
(00:57):
We promise he's going to close the show. He will
not run away before this whole thing is over. Ryan,
I tease this a little earlier in the show. We
were talking to baseball. We were talking about the A's
and the Mets series coming up and during the Top
four for something dawned on me, and I don't think
it was me fishing for a storyline. I know Levac
and social media and we'll get to those people later on.
Like to call me Tommy hot takes. Now that I
(01:19):
get a take and hot takes the goat right, I'm
starting to notice, by the way, and it's funny. So
I'm gonna keep letting him do it that. Anytime I
disagree with him, he just screams hot take at me.
Now I'm starting to do it. Whatever, But here's my
take about the Mets. Though. This is bad now at
this point for the New York Mets. Look, I shouldn't
(01:40):
be saying it's bad because they've lost three in a row.
They've won four of their last ten. But look at
how the wild card in the National League playoff scenario sits.
Right now, You've got the Dodgers leading the NL West.
They're not going to catch the Dodgers. Not in the
same division. You have to touch the Dodgers. Nothing's really
gonna shift for the Mets when it comes to the
Central again, not their division, and Milwaukee's opening up a
seven and a half game lead. Then you go to
(02:00):
their own division. They're not gonna catch the Phillies. They're
not as good as phil enf Okay. So we've got
three teams there, we've got the division winners locked in,
and then we get to the uh oh, here's the problem.
Are they better than the Atlanta Braves. As bad as
Atlanta has played this season, talent on talent, pitchers on pitchers,
(02:21):
organization on organization, over the last five to ten years,
Atlanta has been better. And if you told me the
preseason who I'm taking Atlanta or the Mets, I would
have been laughed at. Obviously the answer is Atlanta. You
look at the teams who are now atop the National
League Wildcard, the defending National League champion Arizona Diamondbacks, who
ever wanted to write off was stunk for a while.
(02:43):
They've been good and active this offseason. The Padres, who
spent spent Machado tatis anybody. They became the National League
version of the Yankees and Red Sox and Dodgers, and
they had to compete. So the Padres are there, so
Aryan McCarthy. Besides the possibility of just the nl wes
knocking themselves out and maybe that's the answer for Mets fans.
(03:06):
Hope enough matchup between the Padres, Diamondbacks, and Donners, the
math works in your favor. They're not better than anybody else.
They're not better than the Diamondbacks. They're not better than
the Potters, They're not better than the Braves. This is
the worst case scenario because all the teams you're trying
to chase down, you're actually not better than them. This
could be a scenario that plays out where the Mets
(03:27):
are the seventh best team in the National League and
as everyone knows, it's only six makes the postseason. Have
you dawned on that? Or am I being a little
too critical of where the Mets sit here in mid August?
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I'm going to become John Lovewitts as the critic. Do
you remember the critic the cartoon? Maybe you're John Love.
It's maybe a little young for that. Is it a
cartoon in the newspaper? It's an animation. It's an animation,
all right. From back in the nineteen nineties, he had
this line, the key line of the catchphrase of the
entire show was it stinks.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Oh I remember that?
Speaker 5 (04:02):
Yeah, Yeah, the National League stinks. The whole league, the
entire a handful. This league stinks on ice, off ice,
it stinks and any and I would like to see
a show of hands who expected the Diamondbacks and the
(04:25):
Padres to have eight and two records over the last
ten games and catch up to not only the Mets
but also the Braves and overtake those two spots in
that wild card. Not only that, the Dodgers only have
a three and a half game lead in the division,
(04:45):
so the Padres and the Diamondbacks could be the one
seed in that division depending on how far the Dodgers go,
and Dodgers of one four in a row. Diamondbacks have
won four in a row against San Diego. They're eight
and two in their last ten and they're beating up
on teams like the Pirates. Who can I just say
(05:05):
this about the Pirates. That team had hope. They did
nothing at the trade deadline, and I would have loved
for them if their owners weren't beat Skate Chief Skates,
they should have gone out and gotten vlad Guerrero on
a way on a on a flyer and let him
walk in the in the postseason, the postseason to another team.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
How much fun would that have been with those young
talent and Flag Junior.
Speaker 5 (05:31):
That would have been so much fun to watch. And
I'm and I'm a guy who is not exactly the
biggest fan of lad Guerrero Junior because of what he
said about the Yankees and the UH and what he's
the antics. He's had a Yankee stadium over the years.
But getting back to my to the main topic, I
don't think you're out of bounds. But this entire league
this year, the National League is just awful, awful. I
(05:56):
think the Mets can contend. But we talked, like we
talked about in the last in the last over the
last hour, they didn't do enough to improve at the
trade deadline. They didn't make any real stunning or shattering
moves and you got Uncle Steve Cohen's money to play with.
They didn't do enough. And now that's starting to show.
(06:17):
But remember this is this is this is mid August. Now,
this is when, this is when you make your money.
This is when you make your move. Right now it's
Diamondbacks and Padres are making their moves and the Mets
are kind of just they're they're treading water.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Let me mark this series. I did this way back
with the Nationals and Mets in June, and it flipped
to pre All Star break and I marked a series
and I said Nationals Mets right in July, if the
Mets are less than five games out of the wild
Card and they play well against the Nationals, then they're
gonna make a run at this thing. And sure enough,
(06:51):
by that time, the Nationals started to cr go downhill,
the Mets started to rise up, and then number five
was wiped away and it was almost closer to or
in contention, it was decided before they even got to
that point in July. But I mark this series August
twenty seventh through August twenty ninth, the Mets play the Diamondbacks.
(07:15):
You want to talk about a pivotal series for both teams,
both games late night starts on the West Coast and
then afternoon action at three forty. Because after that the
Diamondbacks get a four game set with the Dodgers. They
get a Padres matchup as well before they close out
the season.
Speaker 5 (07:32):
But that's weep these two series before they play Baltimore.
If they get a split before they go to San Diego,
that's gonna be some big mo that's gonna be big
momentum for them. They need they need to at least
get two out of three in these next three series
at home. Yes, and we're just not only just in
order to stay in the wild card race, but they
(07:52):
also need to do it because it's gonna say their
season and you don't want to be treading water heading
in to the wild card race. And in fact, their
second to last series of the season is that truest
Park in Atlanta that is going to be enormous. But
(08:14):
right now, you need all the momentum and all the
games can get that you can put in your it's
all the chips can put. It's like a like a poker.
You need to win all the hands can get to
build up your chips in order to go on to
the to the big table.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
This is gonna sound like a very New York biased ancer,
but we are the home the voice of the Capitol
Reasons Sports Say and Fox Sports ninety five nine to
nine eighty. The Mets do seem like the most exciting
team to finish this off. Like we've touched on the Yankees,
but the word exciting wouldn't be the way I'd define
the Yankees. I think about the Yankees. I think about
are they gonna choke it? Are they gonna blow it?
(08:52):
Are they gonna be disappointed? Like maybe that's just the
fan bases, And I'm sure Met fans be like, Hey,
I say those words too. Wait a second, I've described
to my Met fandom like that in the past. Excitement
is what I'm still gonna use, though, to describe what
this Met finish can be. So that means I'm like,
when you're competing against those teams and trying to find
where you can be, that's exciting to me. Now. Maybe
(09:15):
I get to say that now because I'm an Oriel fan.
And even though exciting and stressful could be the same
things at times, you can want something to be exciting.
Do you want it to be though? How is your
blood pressure? How are your relatives and friends treated you?
So it is even though I find it exciting and
entertaining and stressful, that level will be far higher for
Met stans. But it feels like they're gonna have the
(09:36):
most exciting finish to this season. I can't find another
fan base. Maybe something in the West, maybe the Oriel
Yankee Al East finish, but the Met finish is gonna
be exhilarating, exciting for the last six seven weeks of
this thing.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Yeah, we talked about in previous segments about snake bitten
teams and the Mets like my Jets, like the Vikings
in the NFL. It's just think it has that very
starry eyed franchise of we're we're getting there, but we
(10:11):
don't quite get there. We're getting there, but we're we're
not getting there. So the next I think the next
nine games for the Mets, this home stand is good,
is just of utmost importance. You gotta get that moment.
I'm going you gotta get this, and look, I hope
and pray that it's not gonna be a situation like
(10:33):
say in the NFL, the NFC South or the AFC
South from a few years ago, where a team under
five hundred still wins first place. We might see a
situation where a team under five hundred goes to the
wild Card.

lowest record reached the world the.

Now back to Levac and Guz on ninety five, nine
and nine eighty AM Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You called jibs on Twitter when you saw this Ryan
McCarthy in for Levac Today, Ryan our friend nineties Kid
on social media when you found out that Sean Martin
was feeling in yesterday. You're in today, a rotating cast
of characters, Zach Harris for the next two days and
Brian Marianna to close it out. He wanted your take
on my takes. Your take on my takes. You've got
(15:55):
it in front of you. Go right ahead. Believe four
questions you wanted answer from you, and now here's your
platform to do it all right, So question.
Speaker 5 (16:03):
Number one, nineties Kid asked, yesked Sean Martin yesterday. But
I figured, you know what, I'll take these. I booked
mark these for today. Shut Number one? How do I
feel about Walt Chamberlain? I remember correctly, Walt Chamberlain swet
slept with five thousand women, not ten thousand women like
(16:24):
the other guy did. Also, he scored fifty points in
the game, and not a hundred like the other guy
supposedly did. By the way, there's no film evidence of
that ever happening. So there's another one for the conspiracy.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Poah, let's go right, let's go.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
All right.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Number two, I'm proud of you on that sake, Thank.
Speaker 5 (16:42):
You, Thank you? Number two? Is Simone Biles a fraud?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Oh gosh? For first of all, I feel like like
the setup to that might have been go ahead, How
dare I cut you off before you I.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Kind of want to go a little a little deeper
on the siman By take. No, she's not a fraud.
But I will say this in regards to twenty twenty
four compared to this Olympics, compared to the last Olympics,
I remember when she withdrew from the team right before
the was the all around competition. Yes, yes, And I
(17:19):
don't know. I'm just curious. In regards to commercials during
the Olympics. Have you noticed she's not as many as
she was in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
But before I offer that, what is your theory on that?
Speaker 5 (17:35):
My theory on that is, I think the reason why
she withdrew from the twenty twenty one Olympics was there's
too much pressure. She over committed, over committed on so
much of her outside outside of the Olympics thing, I know,
the the weird thing with the with the inner ear
thing that she was feeling kind of sick from trying
(17:55):
to tumble because she she felt sick, she feared for
her life from some sort of medication that she wasn't
allowed to take that was illegal in Japan that affected
her her tumbling skills. That had something to do with it.
I think the over commitment on the commercials and the
endorsements that had something to do with something to do
(18:17):
with it. I didn't see her as many and as
many commercials in the Olympics this year because maybe because
I have I was more tuned into the gold Zone.
Shout out Scott Hansen. I wasn't tuned more in tuned
with gold Zone than I was with being on regular TV.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Maybe I phrased that the wrong way. What I should
have said.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Was hell boy, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Like maybe the marketing ploy of her team not having
her do much in twenty twenty four was that they
went so over the top in twenty twenty twenty twe
like the goat paraphernalia the greatest of all time. And
when you didn't reach the like you said, like, the
expectations were so high and when she didn't hit that
the added pressure. Although and still how history views this
(18:58):
is interesting, how it all gets spun around. There was
a time in history in sports where if someone didn't
perform at the level they'd be called the choke artists,
the worst they didn't step up. Maybe we've become softer
in the last five years of sports fans, where not
only did she not perform, but she also was deemed
as a hero because she spoke out about her problems
and then becoming I believe, the youngest winner in the
(19:21):
history of sports for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It's
a pretty high honor. Yeah, for not doing what people
thought she would do performance wise in the Olympics. So, uh,
it's a fraud. I think is a little too strong
in their nineties. Can I would have phrased, it is
how we viewed her legacy for her performance might have
(19:41):
been overrated.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Guys, you're backtracking like a defensive back.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
No, no, no, for the sake of history, unlike Wilt
slash Wall Chamber for the sake of history. So we
don't have this altered over the years, because I know
it will be. I did offer that take hours before
she won gold, so the I mean of that take
maybe even as bad as the actual take.
Speaker 5 (20:02):
Well, I also want to say this too. She's married
to Jonathan Owens, who got who is who got time
off from the bears to go see her in pairs marriage?
And I can't say this for myself because I've never
been married. But guys, I'm pretty sure marriage changes people.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Yes, you met me right? Or do you me and
my wife? Are you trying to get me in trouble
with that question?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
No, No, this isn't This is an honest question. I'm
being genuine. I'm not doing I'm not doing this fan entertainment.
I'm asking a genuine, genuine question from human, from man
to man.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Yes, it will change people.
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Okay, so I think marriage changing helping her change. Maybe
you're more of a mature person maybe maybe she lacks
some maturity somewhere. I don't know, but yeah, no, Simone
Biles is not a fraud. Take number three, Take number three,
star spangled banner or Oh Canada star spangled banner all
(20:55):
the way, and I'll tell you. But here's the thing.
Oh Canada is a great drinking song, all right. Most
national anthems are basically drinking songs, especially especially in the
Western Hemisphere. My issue with Oh Canada is the changing
of the lyrics thanks to a certain prime minister. I
won't mention his name, but he's current prime minister. He
(21:17):
ordered the changing of the lyrics from in all of
us Command, I'm sorry, in all our sons command to
all of us command, which makes no sense grammatically, it
makes no sense at all if you just did it
for the sake of virtue signaling starspittled Benner all the way.
I don't know what that's from. I mean, what is that?
(21:38):
Where is that from? Where?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
I have no clue.
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Okay, it was just that he's just spitballing because he
wanted to get my take.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
I thought she meant the grammical changes of what went
on there, not Oh Canada.
Speaker 5 (21:48):
No, No, I've which anthem is better.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
I've said that on the air before. Yeah, I've said
Oh Canada is better in the starspank, I will stick
by that one too. Uh Oh Canada. Like I feel
like if I again post Olympics, it doesn't feel great.
I feel like if it's anything that's not Team US saying,
then everyone says you're a comedy, you're rooting against the country.
We can't give any dare America, we can't give any
(22:12):
other countries. No, they live there. God like have a
great song Oh Canada like a you're a hockey fan,
I'm a hockey when you hear that hit in the
NHL and the crowd's going wild, like that's a great film.
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Here's the thing with I will say this with with
Oh Canada, I'm gonna have credit where credits to the Canadians.
They actually sing along with their national anthem like a
lot of other countries do. They will sing along with
their national anthem while it's being played. We're too solemn
about it. Fair enough, I would agree with that point.
I feel like when some people like, it's not that
I'm saying, unless you're in Chicago, unless you're there's one
(22:44):
experience you have to experience as a sports fan. Go
to a Chicago Blackhawks game. During the national anthem, they
stand up and applaud the entire time.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
I would say, it's just not one yeah, like the
star spangled banner. Uh, because I have it second doesn't
make it last. And Ricky Bombie's dad would disagree with
me on that. But looking at what O Canada is,
it's pretty awesome, so I would stick with that. I
thought I got you there for a second, that you
were in a flip, but no, just make.
Speaker 5 (23:14):
Sure I don't see what being carried out in an
Applebee's after causing a scene.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Okay, okay, all right, I believe we have one more.
Speaker 5 (23:24):
We have one more. Do I hate old people?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Very wide ranging question as well.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
I am turning into an old person. I will be
turning forty seven next Tuesday. Okay, I'm turning into an
old person. I can't hate my own kind. But also,
there's also somebody who loved his grandparents. Dear rn.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. This is
the problem here. First of all, when you open with
the mid forties elderly, in my mind, I'm like, oh,
I'm talking about the elderly. That's what he means. I
don't consider some in their forties that older mid forties
or late forties. I'm not talking about it joking. That's right.
Immediately it was one to it would have actually sounded
worse of him, like no, no, no, I mean way
(24:09):
older people I know. But then quickly you're like, I
love my grandparents. I've never said it in like my grandparents.
This is the problem with you still like other old people.
Right see, this is the problem with social media. And
I'm gonna have a story coming up in about ten
minutes about headline grabbing, in headline stealing, whether it's someone
listening to something they only want to hear something, they
(24:31):
want to hear it, they only want to react to something.
There has been an at I'm just just moving along.
Just come on, move it a little quicker. Just got
a old person's in front of you. Gotta walk by him.
Pull out the checks. You're writing checks is some stuff
like come on, just get going. So you're a fan
of old people and what they do is what you're
telling me.
Speaker 5 (24:50):
It's not so much what they do, but like I
like hearing stories about past times, like the nineteen forties
is one of my favorite erarors in history, World War
Two being being the Nazis, the campaigns in the Pacific.
Love hearing those stories, love hearing the old time, love
hearing the soldiers come on Private Ryan, Oh yeah, I'm
(25:17):
oh yeah, I'm doing this. This is this is happening.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I have no problem with That's Ryan McCarthy.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
Am I gonna be invited back in November?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yes, yes, yes, you'll be back, and me and.
Speaker 5 (25:32):
The other my fellow old person, Jeff Jeff Jeffrey Allen
Levaka will be behind the micros.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
You know what I should have I should have should
have known that was coming. How did I think that
was gonna go? Did I think it was gonna go? Well?
For me responding to my bad take, Here's what I'm
realized on this show.
Speaker 5 (25:48):
You should have answered that question yourself.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
There are so many there's I don't know what the
show has become now because there are so many people
that are enjoying this more than anything we bring, like
when the football season comes back, we'll have Fantasy versus Anity.
It's become one of the most popular segments. A lot
of people have enjoyed the play of the day, the
Sunday the Sunday Football eleven to one show, Like, there's
been some really cool stuff that has happened on the
(26:10):
Fox Sports side. The different style in which we do
interviews with a lot longer, like we're not trying to
hit a clock. We try to extend the whole interview.
But whatever has happened the last month and a half,
there's a true ingentlemen, of people hating my takes, there
is a truth. I got an email during the break.
Paddock saw your email. I won't read it, but he
(26:31):
opened with a compliment like Ted Lasso, people enjoy hearing
my terrible takes. These This is not a bit. I
have good ones. No one remembers the good ones. Ryan McCarthy,
I got great takes. They're all up here?
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Are they hot takes?
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Doesn't matter what temperature they are. I prefer sometimes they
are hot.

I am working on a day, I am working on
a hot takes. The goat picture. By the way, thank.

I want you to lead off on this because you

show run today and you had a story for the dump.
You were ready to go with my friend. You lead
this off. What do you got here to lead off
the dump?
Speaker 5 (29:36):
All right? So leading off the dump, we're gonna talk
about the the CEO of Chippotele is Chipotle.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Sorry I looked that pronunciation better. Actually about like the
hot deep pot pronunciation or lows.
Speaker 5 (29:50):
Yeah, but the Chipotle CEO is now the Starbucks ceo.
What he's now the Starbucks ceo? I don't know his name,
but I found it on Twitter. Shout to nineties Kid
for coming to gun at first.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Oh my gosh, this whole hour's been owned by nineties kid.
I stocked in the show. My goodness, I know he's
our he's the uh. He's he's I wouldn't say the
screen door to our submarine, but he's the uh. He's definitely,
he's definitely something. He's definitely something. But he commented done
at first, and I had to chime in myself. So
I came up with a I guess I could say
half fast top top ten of the new items that
(30:27):
will be featured at Starbucks.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Oh you Potely ceo coming on board.
Speaker 2 (30:31):

through this.
Speaker 5 (30:47):
You know what, let's let's let's save the drum roll.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
For number one. All right, fair enough? Sorry, So here
we go, number five.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Number five.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
Oh it's five.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
There's ten, Well it's no. Half of ten is five.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Oh okay, I'm getting this now. Okay, math guys, math
half asked top ten list that actually starts at five? Yes, okay,
so at.
Speaker 5 (31:05):
Number five, coming in hot at number five, literally and
figuredly speaking, Mexican coffee.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
I don't know what that is. I'm a very new
coffee drinker. I really don't drink coffee that much anymore,
thanks to our friends at Sea four Energy.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I don't even know what that is.
Speaker 5 (31:20):
It's literally a coffee for Mexico. Oh okay, with a
little bit of a little bit of uh cayenne pepper. Whoa,
I had a little spice to your a little spice
to your morning.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
I don't need that. I don't need that in my
life much.
Speaker 5 (31:31):
No, I don't think anybody needs that in the life
unless you're really looks like on a diet or something
or just need to just need to get your stuff
out of your system right away. All right, So that's
number five Mexican coffee number four, potato cheddar soapopias.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
Am I a dumb person? I'm not. You've now given
me two wonderful things that I'm in again. I have
no idea what your what is that? I don't know
what that is?
Speaker 5 (31:55):
So it's gonna replace the potato cheddar chive bites that
are currently at at Starbucks. I guess they're pretty good. U.
But soapa pias are like, uh, let's do the let's
do some real time, real time research about soapa pias. Uh,
it's a it's a fried dough food. Okay, ically fried dough,
so fried potato cheddar fried dough pass.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Not a fried dough person never did the fried dough.
You're missing out, my friend, I know my wife is
very big in a fried dough. She said, what do
you mean to go to fairs in places don't get
fried dough? As if I was an alien from planet Earth?
But were you?
Speaker 5 (32:30):
Just? Were you as depride? They're as sheltered as I
was when I was a kid. You're missed on so much.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
I hope what's number three? A hopefull? I know the
food on this one.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
So number three because they feature this that already at Starbucks.
It's their souvied egg bites, but they're a dobo egg bites.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I believe I've had these before. I believe I've had
these on a early road trip. I think I've had
these are at Starbucks, you said, right now. But a
little twist because of the two, Like, okay, I'm proud.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
Because the Chipotle connection. Yeah, there's a little twist on that.
I had myself some adobo chicken yesterday. As for lunch.
It's delightful and I'm pretty sure they'll do well as
a as a as a little uh, a little bite
if you need a little quick bite, little protein in
your diet, quick quick thing of that. Get suv gig
(33:20):
suv to egg bites, a Dobo egg bites. Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (33:24):
What is dose two? What is number two on this list?
All right?
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Number ow dose on this list? Pumpkin spice churros.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Okay, I see why we get the ranking here. Everyone
loves pumpkin flavored stuff. I know what a churro is.
I think I've had it less than five times in
my life. This one is my favorite. I feel like
there's a tear system here. Ryan McCarthy, Yes, three, four
and five, are not on the level of two I'm
excited for it? Are you a pumpkin guy when the
time calls for it?
Speaker 5 (33:52):
When the time calls for it, not when it's August
and it's still ninety degrees out with ninety degree humidity.
Ier I go on buy any ol trip by annual
trips to North Carolina. Right, there's Dunkin Donuts and the
other banks in Kerala love the outer banks love Korala
love Dunkin Donuts, but Ducking Donuts always comes out with
(34:12):
their pumpkin spice stuff in the middle of August. I'm like,
it's not even my birthday and you're already coming out
with pumpkin spice everything. Can we save it to the fall?
I mean I want to. I want my summer to
be summer.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
That's it. I think it's you're not asking for much. No,
just keep the ugs boots, keep the the hunter boots,
keep the flannels, keep the pumpkin in the fall. That's
all you know.
Speaker 5 (34:35):
When I come to power, the pumpkins stays in the fall,
does not start in the middle of August.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
And number one.
Speaker 5 (34:49):
Multi colored chips to go with your unicorn frappucino.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Whoa WHOA, what hell?
Speaker 5 (34:57):
You don't remember the Ukorn frappuccino.
Speaker 2 (34:59):
I've here's the thing with the frappuccina.
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
I was one of those people who told me like
to do the TikTok orders. So I used to get
like a cookies and cream, some short sort of frappuccino
thing at Starbucks. I don't know if it's still out there.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
I don't know either. I don't really go to Starbucks,
but I just saw this news items. I'm going let
this news item. I'm going, all right, we got we
gotta talk about this dump.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I feel like this is what I used to order, though,
do you have the ingredients of what goes into this
or what could potentially go into this?
Speaker 5 (35:28):
In a unicorn frappucina, it's.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
A sprinkles stars Hopes aspirations.
Speaker 5 (35:35):
Are edible spring like edible glitter. The Unicorn frappuccino. It
was a viral drink. It was a It was a
viral drink created by Starbucks. This is according to Wikipedia.
You want to set my sources here? I remember college
if I got yelled at set my sources. Introduced in
April twenty seventeen. It's made with ice, milk, pink powder, sour,
(35:59):
blue powder, crem frappercino, So I gotta say correctly, crem,
not cream, Krem frappercino, syrup, mango syrup, and blue drizzle
in the twenty four out size. Tell you, guys, how
many calories this drink was in the twenty four out size.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
I would say nine hundred calories.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
That's a little lower than that.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
Okay, thank goodness, it's five hundred calories, all right, Thank
goodness with.
Speaker 5 (36:24):
With eighteen grams of fat, seventy six seventy six grams
of sugar, and fifty five milligrams of cholesterol. Was only
available for a limited time, ending on April twenty fifth,
twenty seventeen. So I I have a feeling if your
potely CEO, I know, I know you're listening out there.
I know you're a fan of vacking guys. I know
(36:45):
you're a fan of no credentials required. I know you listen.
If you want to bring back the Unicorn frappercino for
limited time and had those multi flavored, multicolored flavored chips
or multicolored chips to go with the Unicorn frappuccino, I
be against it.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
The future is on the way. Some would say the
future is the presence this weekure is right now, right now. Anyway,
doth bolted stupid puns of now with presidence, like is
it someone wasn't going to put pick up our stupid
I'm gonna move on to my story. Here go. Here's
what I have in the dump today. I could go
on for about three hours on this. And this is
(37:22):
why I went to the dump because I would have
invaded a whole segment of the show today about big
Jay journalism. And I'm sure you've read reports out there
and media land about all news radio and newspapers changing
and all. There's a bunch of stuff going on into
the sports media world to just media in general this week.
This is the stuff that bothers me. Chris Carlson's never
(37:43):
been on the show before. I actually like Chris Carlson.
He's a writer for Syracuse dot Com. I think he
does a really nice job, especially when it came to
the nil stuff, and he's got a fantastic piece out
about the offense. His coverage of Syracuse football is the
best right now of anybody, including Pete writers. But I
have a very good suspicion that a editor got to
him on this. Here was a headline story about Syracuse
(38:03):
Football today about Jim Beheim. Tibehan doesn't coach Syracuse football.
Tobeham has nothing to do with Syracuse football. The headline
from Syracuse dot com today Jim Beheim jabs Ohio State
for running off cal McCord. Quote, He's certainly good enough
for us. Okay.
Speaker 6 (38:22):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
When I read that headline, and I read it three
or four times earlier today, I got confused. I thought
he said, Jim Beheim jabs Ohio State and cal McCord,
he's certainly good enough for us. In other words, what
I thought he meant was, well, we suck and we
got McCord, so he's good enough for us, about right,
And I make like, what the hell, Beheim, why are
(38:44):
you taking a shot at Syracuse? Go back to being red?
So all of a sudden, I'm all fired up, right,
And then I'm like, no, no, no, Beheim is on
the side of Syracuse. He's taking a jab at Ohio State,
and now Ohio State fans gonna look at me like, hey,
what the hey, Yeah, I looked at the story. Coach
Beheim gives credit to how good he's been in the
community forty seven years. He's before in Syracuse trying to
(39:05):
tell people, Hey, everyone talking about ten wins with coach Brown,
everybody relaxed. I would say the third to last paragraph
of this is when the quote comes back quote he
may not be good enough for Ohio State, but he's
certainly good enough for us. I've watched in practice. He
can throw the ball. They brought in a bunch of
guys that can play. This has nothing to do with
(39:26):
the article at all. The whole article is about Kyle
McCord being a standout player for Syracuse football, what he
can mean to the community, what he means for the
pro The article is not about blasting Ohio State. The
article is not about blasting Jim Behi. The article is
about a quarter but because we gotta get the clicks,
because we gotta get the headlines, gotta get that SEO,
(39:46):
gotta get that engagement. Some editor out there twisted the
story of Chris Carlson, who did a great job on this,
to get dem clicks. So I've worked up about this
because it's like, Hey, give somebody credit Jim Beheim for compliments,
cal McCord for playing well Chris Carlson for putting in
the work. Not hey, it's mid August, we need some
clicks to it. I was so bothered by this where
(40:08):
it's like, it's not what you right, you podcast holt
You dude, does this frustrates? We had Showe Martin on yesterday.
It's got a frustrate guys like you.
Speaker 5 (40:15):
Yeah, it's it's it's something in the business called burying
the lead where you have a click, you have a
clickbaitish title, and you don't get into what he actually
said it until it's actually the meat and potatoes of
the article, meat potatoes, until four or five paragraphs in
(40:35):
or or towards the end of the article. Can you
put it at least in the beginning to say, hey,
this is what coach Beheim said about Kyle McCord. No,
you're just putting a You're just putting a clickbaitish title
right there. And it's basically a nothing burger of no substance.
It's junk food. It's the junk food of media consumption.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Now, somebody would probably tell me this is the new
way you do it, where you write the article and
the last part of the articles the title of what
goes up on the internet. So for instance, like let's
say he said coach hall of Fame coach talks cal McCord.
Now that's a good headline to me. Yeah, because you
don't know who the Hall of Fame coach is? Is
it Nick saban Is. I'm not sure if statements in
the Hall of Fame, but yes, you get the concept.
Speaker 5 (41:15):
He's gonna he'll be there.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Right A really big time coach said something great about
the Syracuse coach. What is that? That's how I would
have titled it right now, say hey, hey, that's a
Hall Ofame basketball coach on a football coach. But the
idea that it's jabs and gets people worked up, and
someone would say, hey, I got the headline done. You're
talking about my article. You reacted the way you clicked
on it. I want it's just now what it's about.
Speaker 5 (41:36):
Man, it's not no And you're talking about two different
sports here, Like I get it. Jim Bheim's been a
staple of that Syracuse era. You know, you lived in
that area, you were born and raised at Syracuse three
one five represent but you're talking two totally different sports.
You're going You're you're talking about basketball, comparing it to football.
(41:58):
It's like it's Apple's New Oranges, so to speak, because
it's Turkey storage.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
See yeah, I suit you did there. Maybe this one
bothers me a little bit more because of where I
used to work, and this would be like a hey,
give me the top seven ice creams in the Capitol region.
What sports fans want? Sports content? What about this top
six tallest trees in Albany? Don't you want that on
our social media feeds? Maybe that's why this one bothers
me a little bit more. I really do think it's
(42:23):
more about trying to bait people into it.
Speaker 5 (42:25):
You know who's the you know who's number seven on
that top trees list? Unble Mention Who? Tom Gislawski, Thank you,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
It's very See Ryan knows what he's doing. He wants
back on to co hosts the show. Wrapps up a
couple more compliments to get him back on for those
November shows and the baby comes. Ryan McCarthy, thank you
