Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's Lovak and Guz on ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Fantasy football drafts are kicking up a little bit. What
we have one tomorrow?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
We sure knew half hour commercial free live.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
So if you missed it, if this is our podcast audience,
just go back and listen to it as well Apple,
Spotify and the iHeart app. Whatever your draft is, we
hope that that final Thursday in August helps you win
championship this season.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
How about yesterday you had so much FUBM with the
one hundred and three players ranking other player quarterbacks and stuff.
How about the athletic reached out to fifty NFL coaches
and executives and had them put together a tier ranking
of the best the NFL has to offer a quarterback.
Ooh oh.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Tier system's always nasty, but I kind of like it.
You know what I mean nasty?

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Well, because you're you're always afraid you're not going to
make the right tier, you know, tier drops instead of
the Tier one.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yeah, Like it almost feels like the club, Like there's
the VIP section, then there's the section and like in
the basement. Now people can make their own tiers and
put labels on them. There's like a website that lets
you do it. But the tier system, okay, how do
you want to point out that?

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Yesterday as we as we mentioned h Josh Allen very
high ranking, a lot of a lot of categories, but
maybe the maybe the biggest one. He was the number
one trash talker for quarterbacks the NFL, to which he
tweeted a concert video. I don't know who the person
of the concert is, but it's so you're telling me

(01:32):
I was voted as the number one best trash talker.
Let's go. So I like that. I like that he's
embracing it. That's pretty cool. All right, So what do
you want to how do you wanna? Let's you want
to tier one? It's weird to me because I'm already
in disagreeance with how this is coming together. But hey man,
here we is. All right.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Let me ask a very important question before we start.
This tier system.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Is it numbers? Is it tier one, tier two, two three?
Or do they have labels? Like there are four tiers?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Oh oh gosh, on tier one, tier two, tier three,
tier four. Okay, that is all the starters.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
That is very helpful though, because, like you could have said, hey,
one tiers MVP caliber, next tiers, all pro next tiers average.
The fact that it's just thirty two quarterbacks four tiers.
I don't like that, and maybe that's why I don't
like it either. So let's just rip through Tier one.
I would say, there are six quarterbacks in Tier one?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Is it?

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Can I do it like that? There's different numbers of
one tiers.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Okay, if you want you want me to tell you
already that you're wrong, or you want to wait, they
have three This list has three in Tier one. I
mean there's only one in Tier one, Mahomes by himself,
and then everybody else can can fight for Tier one A.
If you're gonna add three players in Tier one, the
three I would put there would be Mahomes, Allen, and Jackson.
Two of the three you are.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Correct, Oh, gosh is Burrow. The other one Burrow.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Is in It's Mahomes, Burrow, Allen is Tier one. According
to this Athletic.

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Report, Mahomes, Burrow, and Allen are in Tier one, and
the two time MVP Lamar Jackson is not a top
tier quarterback. No, I mean he might be Tier two,
even though the Rave was one of the best teams
in the NFL last season. Even though he won the
ENVP of the NFL, he was voted the best player

(03:22):
in the NFL. Yeah, he was not in tier one
of quarterbacks. What would you all right, okay, fantasy draft.
Let's make this fantasy footballish a little bit. Those four
quarterbacks are on the board and you're about to grab
your coat. You're like, you know what I'm going quarterback Mahomes, Burrow,
Allan Jackson. I would add in a fifth. Here's how

(03:43):
I would draft it. If I got to pick. I
got burned by Mahomes last year, so I would in
fantasy football, I would go Josh Allen one.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
I think there's a healthy debate here between Jalen Hurts
and Patrick Mahome. For two, I would say Hurts was
a statistically last season, and the Mahomes what I'm giving you, though,
I would say Allen one, Mahomes two, Jackson three, Borough four.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Okay. So, so if if you had to put three
in the first tier, Burrow falls a tier two for you, absolutely,
Joe Burrow fan. And then you want to put Jalen
Hurts way up there because you're to all the Eagles fans. Hurts,
Burrow whoever hurts Joe Burrow.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
All right, So that's Tier one, tier Tier two. If
you told me there's only three quarterbacks and Tier one
that's got a pack. For Tier two, there are quite
a few. Thirteen eleven, okay, eleven. I'll go as fast
as I can here, all right? Uh Jackson obviously, yup.
Jordan Love he's in there. Rock party. Remember when I

(04:54):
said I was gonna go fast. Yeah, that's not as
I thought.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
Because I'm gonna mark each one that you get right.
So far, you're three for Dak Prescott. Correct.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
I'd probably put C. J. Stroud in there already.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Uh, they just put Jay Stroud, but I assume that's
what they mean.

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Okay, two on Aaron Rodgers together.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Uh, Aaron Rodgers, yes to a No. First one you
got wrong? Herbert, yep?

Speaker 3 (05:22):
How many? I got six already? Oh man, I don't
really like anybody else after that.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
You have four left? Four You say you say you
said Hurts right or no?

Speaker 5 (05:30):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (05:30):
I did not say hurts. Okay, add him in there.
That's an easy one. So I got three left.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
I know you meant one. You're gonna be mad at yourself.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
We're not saying I will rip through the final three
quick here, I would go Stafford Golf and then Baker.
Uh no, Baker, then Kyler Murray would have been my
other pick. Captain Kirk Cousin. Nah, pass you like that?
You like that because he's there. I'll take Bake, Mayfield

(06:00):
and Kyler Murray over one legged Kirk Cousins.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
That's that's just rude. Uh Baker, mayfielder Murray. No, I
think Kirk Cousins is better than both of them. That's disrespectful.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
This is why we need more tears.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
You're being disrespectful, all right.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
All right, So if I've got eleven in Tier two,
I've got three and tier one, oh my gosh in
the world's Tier three. Uh fourteen again eight Baker and
Kyler Murray.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Baker, Kyler Murray are both in.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yes, Deshaun Watson's probably in this one. Two is in
this one to uh uh Deshaun Watson.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Do I have rookies?

Speaker 2 (06:40):
Do you have rookies? You do not, Okay, so I
would I would probably wait a minute, you don't have
any rookies in this list, okay. So that's where we're
making those spots, all right.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
So I would probably then throw in Geno Smith and
Daniel Jones in this spot.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
No dj Gino Smith, Yes, no Daniel Jones and Tier three? Uh?

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Will Levis is gonna make it on here?

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Not in Tier three?

Speaker 3 (07:03):
These guys stink. Anthony Richardson, got played like four games?
Z in here?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
Tier not Tier three?

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Derek Carr Yes, how many do I have left?

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Three? You have two left?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Does there need to be two left? Trevor Lawrence?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yes, you know you get the last one. I mean
depend about a year it is?

Speaker 3 (07:26):
What year is?

Speaker 2 (07:28):
I don't even think this one has been named a
starter yet. Jacoby Russell Wilson.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
I can't stand this listless.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Let me just give you Tier four, please? All right?
Do any of these not belong here? Dale Jones, Justin
Fields Gardner, Minshew, Anthony Richardson, Will Levis, Bryce Young, Sam Darnold,
Jacoby Brissette. Let me ask you this a different way.
Are any of Tier four draftable and fantasy football single

(08:04):
quarterback leagues? Dale Jones, Justin Fields Gardner, Minshew, Anthony Richardson,
Will Levis, Bryce Young, Sam Donald, Jacoby Brissett.

Speaker 4 (08:13):
Definitely, Anthony Richardson, especially if you're in like a twelve
to fourteen team League.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
One other I would consider, Oh there's two. I would
consider one.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I would do the thing with Anthony Richardson, and I
know he's getting a lot of hate this summer on
social media. Then people point out that he's like, hasn't
been actually very good. Besides two games again, one against
Alabama always helps, we don't know if he's actually good.
The only other one i'd even throw something at is
Will Levis because the Titans, what is going on in
that backfield? They might not only stink, but I have

(08:42):
nobody to run the ball. Lewis might have some huge
fantasy games where he's got to throw the ball like
thirty five or forty times, So Levis potentially super late,
and Anthony Richardson so too.

Speaker 2 (08:52):
I would throw Bryce Young in there, just because I'm
not sure what he's gonna do. And then Sam Donald.
I think Sam Donald's a sneaky dark for comeback Player
of the Year, even though he never really did anything.
He shouldn't be comeback. It should be arriving, you know
what I mean. But I think he because I like,
I like what Minnesota does. I think Minnesota's all all
run organization. I yeah, this is not a great list.

(09:15):
I don't. I mean, I don't know who these fifty
coaches and executives from the NFL think they are, but
they are not as smart as two beer belly boys
in Alberty, New York.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Come on, fix the tiers.

Speaker 4 (09:27):
Give me like, MVP caliber, all Pro average below average stinks.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
Do you want to do that?

Speaker 4 (09:34):
No, I don't want to do that because a lot
of colors involved, and they got to go on a
website and do it. Maybe at some point, probably not.
That's what my tears would be. MVP caliber, all Pro average,
below average, too young stinks. That's the gods tire. I
might bring that back. I can remember that during the year.

(09:56):
Remember one more time here, MVP caliber, all Pro average,
below average, too young to figure out right now stinks?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
I feel like too young to figure out right? Like
are they locked in? Like they get to move up
and down, right.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
That's how it works in the tier system, So right now,
too young to figure out would be basically every rookie.
That's a cop out for you, every rookie plus Anthony
Richardson plus Bryce Young.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
I think they stink. If they stink, yeah, they say,
I don't think you put the too young and I
think you got to take that tier out. No, no,
he stays in because if Donald's in that tier, he's
too young to figure out.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
I think he's only twenty three.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
He's like seventy five. Now, I think he's been around forever.

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Here's losing the stings category in ginger years. Daniel Jones stinks.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Twenty seven years old? Who is Sam Donald?

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Okay, he goes to the stings category, then that's just it.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
He can play his way out. Yeah, even like it's
not like it's not like if Caleb goes out in
the field, now it goes oh he threw three interceptions,
but he's very young. No, you still threw three inch
steak that fast, Rice young. You stink. No, you can
play back, you can come back, but at the at
that moment, man, you stink. Right now, everybody stinks.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
You know what, I don't you know?

Speaker 2 (11:06):
You know?

Speaker 3 (11:07):
But I actually love this. I love this. I want
to do this this season now.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
Please, Rather than punishing me on a Tuesday with power rankings,
can we now make it the Levakan guys hierarchy where
it's veryp all pro above average, below average, too young
to figure out stinks and we rereke the quarterbacks every Tuesday.
If someone no longer stinks throughout, So you're putting every so.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
You want to stinkink. There's no excuse for it.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
So you want to eliminate my too young to figure out?
You want to just below average average stinks.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah, because again if you because let's say you stink
it like for three weeks. Let's say that, you know,
Brightshung goes out three weeks, he throws two. He's averaging
two interceptions in a touchdown per game. And then in
week four he goes out there, he throws four interceptions.
He looks great. Let's say you figure it out. Okay,
well now we'll move you up to average, movie to average,

(11:59):
you know, and then he goes out and throws two
and one. No, right back in the sticks. You don't
get too young. You don't get too because again, it
doesn't change the game. It's not it's not like the
raster are like, oh, whoa, I know that was a
pick six. I know that was a pick six, but
he's twenty two, So let's walk it back out here
and give me another try. That doesn't that's not how it works.

(12:20):
That's not how the game works.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
I like that list way better than this list. I
hope more people think of the list like that. Actually,
you know what I want to know at Tom Gons
TM jews Easy at the Jeff Levank at w OFX
ninet eighty. How would you tier quarterbacks? Maybe I'm just
assuming everyone does it like that. Maybe it's like good, average, bad, awful.
Maybe that's somebody's list. Maybe that should have been the
tier system for this.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I do it as a fan. Okay, this is my
these are my tiers. I wish I had that guy.
I'd accept that guy. I don't want that guy. Those
are my three tiers.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
So wish acceptable not accept the ball.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
Yeah, yeah, you're right of them. And like, you know,
you can make like like you could star and like
the you know, the top kunt Like all right, Patrick
Mahomes like might entertain a conversation with a Crossroads demon
over my soul for him to be the quarterback of
the Raiders for twenty years. It might. I'm not saying
I would saying I might hear them out, like how

(13:23):
much fire and brimstone? You know they're pineapples? What are
we doing? How does it work? What's is there a
four to one k like what do I get? Because
it's I mean, realistically, that's how I look at almost
every quarterback, like like, oh man, I wish that guy
was wearing my uniform. Oh I wish that guy was
you know what, I think we could ruin that guy.

(13:43):
Or oh I'm so glad that guy's not in my uniform.
That's how I do. Those are my three tiers, the
uniform tiers.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
The Lovak hierarchy. Yeah yeah, wish acceptable, not acceptable?

Speaker 2 (13:54):
Well I don't even know, like the wish because maybe
one day the Raiders will have a good quarterback and
then I'll be like, yeah, that's the guy I want
right now, I want I'm I would accept Aidan O'Connell.
I have no choice except Gardner minshew. I don't want them.
Like if I could have Mahomes or Jackson or Stafford

(14:14):
or whoever take Gump. But no, that's what I got.
You get, You get what you got. You know what
I'm saying, that's it, that's all you got us. As
fantasy drafts continue, we're just gonna see more and more
of these tiers in these rankings. Do you know our
pick yet for for the for the company.

Speaker 4 (14:33):
No, and that's what's gonna make it even more fun
and exciting. It we don't know they No one told
us what the pick number is on the air.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I'm concerned that, like, because we only have a half hour,
and these people don't do anything fast out here. They
don't do anything except for leave. They go home very fast.
Are they all gonna be there? Is it all going
to be remote?

Speaker 4 (14:52):
I believe some people are gonna join us in firston
nobody I.

Speaker 2 (14:55):
Have to stay after. I can draft from my phone, right.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
Yeah, you can draft from your phone, can draft your laptop,
can do it however you want so I can get
the hell out of there after after this a couple
of pigs.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
Yeahah, I don't want to hang out with you guys,
I don't.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
I mean you're gonna have to probably drive your home so,
you know, with your Wi Fi situation, I don't want
you driving back and all of a sudden like ah.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
My phone hot spot. It's it's fine.

Speaker 4 (15:15):
I live, I live fairly close. I gotta tell my
wife I'm working, like you don't want to go home
though you have like little kids, you know, I love
my children. No, No, I love my kids. Yeah, I'm
just telling them that I'll be back a little later.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
I love it. I'm fighting with your wife anyway. Your
wife's out.

Speaker 4 (15:35):
She's had very bad behavior. She's a little you know,
hopefully she's not listening.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
I know she's pregnant.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Got you a little careful here, but yeah, the behavior
needs to calm down a little bit.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
As my my daughter would say, she's been a little spicy.
She's been a little spicy right now. I don't there's
a lot of line. She's talking about you wearing lingerie
to meet Jerry mcnamer.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
I never said that.

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Well but no, like I believe you did say that,
but she approved it. She's like, yeah, go for it,
it's good for ratings. What I what I said to
her mistakenly this was, you know, this one's Onmnie Jerry
mcnamer Friday at Saratoga Race Course allegedly allegedly may not
know he's gonna be there whether or not he's gonna

(16:16):
be on our show. So he's gonna be there. We
might have other show.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
I said out loud, I like to wear something nice
on Friday for Jerry.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
And she didn't like that comment.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
So like, this was the last time you wore something
nice for her.

Speaker 4 (16:28):
What I was supposed to say was I should wear
something nice Friday because we have a live show. I
like to look nice for the track. Wear a polo,
maybe some dress pants, maybe some shorts. And then I
said for Jerry, and that's where it turned. That's when
I was mocked and honestly probably rightfull Lisa.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
What am I gonna do with you? Dude?

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Like like she said it, She's like, oh, are you
gonna wear your fancy underwear?

Speaker 3 (16:49):
You're gonna wear lingerie.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
I'm gonna text the school vac and fired it off,
fire that text right off. The only thing I don't
understand is how how will she was to make it
my problem. I don't like she was willing to throw
me into the depths of your weirdness, which is new.
Usually her and I are a team and we try

(17:11):
to keep you from being your ultimate final stage of weirdness.
But she was like, not good for ratings. When I
fired back with if you want me to get good ratings,
I need other members of your family in lingerie at
the show, not not your husband. She didn't. She didn't
have an answer for that one.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
I left it sitting there.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
She didn't want to talk about the sister in laws,
the showgirl from Vegas and everything. They don't want to
they want to have that conversation. Just wanted me to
look weird sitting next to you all trust up in lace.
That's what she thought was gonna be funny for everybody.
He's never coming on the show. By the way, it's
never it's weird.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
They haven't confirmed yet.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
Yeah, it's just not gonna it's not gonna happen. They're
probably gonna like monitoring. They're like, all right, they don't
do anything too weird for the next couple of days.
We'll go ahead and g mack will stop on by.
But no, no, we had this. Did you see Matthew
Bob I did.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
I'm a little nervous about reading that tweet. I don't
want to that one actually seems like would take people
off and see I don't.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
I think, well, I think he's I think he's taking
a job that's been opened for a long time. He
was like, to be honest, who's Jerry mcnamared a big
time guys in Levac. He's a major D one coach,
aren't you the number one live sports radio show in
the five one eight? I like that. You know what,
Matthew Bob has taken over the old job that was
once held by Matthew Woods. He is now the Twitter Terrier.

(18:33):
He's going to defend us with tooth and claw whenever
it needed. So I think we need to, you know,
like listen, I used to have to ease Woods off.
We have to ease Bop off this one. Like it's hey,
it's okay, buddy, it's all right, it's okay.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
We always appreciate the support though, thank you, But that's right.
Sometimes love it. Sometimes you don't know, you don't know
what the terrier is capable of it.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
We learned he's the Twitter terrier. He is, He's Matthew.
Bop is taking the job. Woods is out, Bob is in.
It's over. You don't want to get bopped on X.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Shout out to Matt Woods.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Welcome to his wonderful daughter Nora to the Capital region
a few days ago. Shout out to him and his
wonderful wife Abby. Good for Matt Woods.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
I'm a cousin named Nora. Oh that from here on out.
If he comes after you, you just got bopped, got bopped,
You got bopped on X.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
All right, what are we gonna do Elevation ten thousand.
I'm out branding social media impact for people more. Elevation
ten thousand of act.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Oh, yes, can help make l for you? No, I
don't think.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
I bet you they could find it. They could.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
If that's the way your brand needs to be marketed.
Elevation ten thousand will work with you if you feel
like this is the way to get our message across.
This is how people will view our podcast or social
media outlets or our business or Dave and the team
will say, no, that is a terrible idea.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
We work in marketing. We won awards. We're telling you.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Dave would be like, Okay, that's I mean, that's that's
an idea. What if we did this instead? What if
we put together a targeted plan that would get people
to click on your website and potentially stay around and
become part of your business and elevate your brand that way.
Instead of you and Laingerie at the track like he
might that might be I think he would get he

(20:12):
always looks are very good at spinning things in a
very positive light. That's why I enjoy Elevation ten thousand
very much. They're good for the brand, they're good for
the soul.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Elevat your brand today.

Speaker 1 (20:21):
Elevation what he said, it's Levac and Guz on ninety
five nine Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
All Right, so this isn't a dump. This is not
a dump. No, but it's but I do have there's
some of my friends maybe stopping by to say hello
in a little bit. So I figured maybe some of
these stories that I know you wanted to get to
that I thought were kind of cool. I thought maybe
just maybe we would. We'd go ahead and hit someone
right now to make sure that they happened. Nothing. Nothing

(20:53):
tells me that you are in it to win it
Like calling up a forty four year old pitch with
thirty games ago on this season. I mean, first of all,
what it's what? How big of a sack of duty
are we You're not even in your forties yet, I'm
forty eight. We've never thrown a pitch in the major leagues.

(21:14):
We've never been pro athletes. This dude's doing it for
twenty years. I'd just racing well like Nolan Ryan did. Don't.
Rich Hill is not Nolan Ryan. That's not who he is.
Rich Hill, forty four getting called up to the big
club for the Red Sox.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
I read this story initially, and this is maybe I
really need to call my eye doc or get my
new context. And I first read it and thought it
was Taysom Hill, Like, Taysom Hill can't.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Be forty How old is Taysom Hill was like thirty
three third, soh yeah, he's right around the thirty three
thirty four area.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
For you thirty four. Taysom Hill just just missed his birthday,
thirty three, the twenty third of August. He's one of us.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
See it was too far away us.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
I thought it. Yeah, I'm just sorry. I looked sorry
for no No Hill forty four. He old rich over the Hill?
Am I right?

Speaker 7 (22:02):
What?

Speaker 4 (22:02):
Did it make more sense that it was a typo
for Tasom Hill than Rich Hill pitching? Again, realistically, it
did make more sense for Tastom Hill, besides the fact
he was playing baseball. But here's my fear about rich
Hill for you the back. I don't think he's gonna
have any impact. I really don't like when I think
about old pictures, I think about Bartolo Cologne, I think
about Jamie Moyer, I think about a former guest on

(22:22):
this show, Tommy John he is now rich Hill entered
that category of super old pitcher. There's a difference though,
because he's been in the minors and stuff like, Like
a lot of those guys, I feel like they they
either were like rehabbing from an injury or they were
in the pros that was it.

Speaker 2 (22:41):
And maybe I'm misremembering, but like, what what makes you
keep going at forty four? What? Like? Because what they
call they call him from triple A Woosta.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Oh, I got this one. Okay, my hands up. Usually
that's what you think.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
All right, call on me.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
I got this one. Hey, guys, what does it?

Speaker 2 (22:57):
Money? Uh? Yeah, but you're not making money at play? Woosta?
Are you?

Speaker 4 (23:01):
They're making more money pitching doing that than he would
be potentially being retired or doing nothing.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Hmmm.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
I would say money is the correct answer.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
Yeah, I mean I guess. But still like and look,
he's obviously doing something right because he's still here. Uh
Alex Cora obviously a cheating manager of the Red Sox. Quote.
He looks great physically. He always takes care of that part.
He's excited to be back. Uh. He was very diligent
the last few months about his craft. He's always done it.

(23:32):
So now no doubt about him that physically he is
going to be okay, throw the ball. Well, I'm just
I don't know. Again, it's just we're obviously not there.
We obviously like but isn't this the time of the year,
Like in the Red Sox not not out of the

(23:53):
wild garden. They're still alive in the wildcard, not by much,
but you know, maybe getting like a little life support,
but their their life. Is this normally start bringing up
the young guys. Yes, he's like, hey, let's see what
we've gotten Old rich Hill. Wait, oh how old's rich
Hill forty four? Oh yeah, a lot left on those tires.

Speaker 4 (24:13):
I'm think goingnacross sports now, of is there any other
picture quite like this where mid forties and they're actually
our examples. But maybe the better question for is that,
is there any other position like this in sports? Of
we will just keep signing the old guy because we
know what the old guy can give us, like his
stuff is still there. By the way, I mentioned old pictures,
I didn't mention Nolan Ryan already like sad right, but

(24:37):
like that was the mid sixties he debuted. I think
you were retired in like ninety three, But.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
He was still throwing gas, you know what I mean?
Like like CC Sabbathia is like my definition of how
I would if I was gonna be a picture, That's
what I want to do. Like CC went out and
just threw until his arm just fell off, basically like
he's he if he went out and threw one more pitch,
he would he would explode it just full explosion, like
just just too cleat standing on the on the mount.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
I would have I would have loved and I told
you this, I would have loved to see how much
longer Rivera could have gone for the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
They ask him every year. They asked him at Old
Timer's Day this year, and he's like, dude, I'm not
gonna do it that anymore, like whatever. But he he
definitely could have kept going if he wanted to. But
that's see, there's there's a kind of what I was
trying to get to. Like you know, you say money,
Money is obviously an amazing motivator. Like Mayern, Rivera looked
at everybody and went, I am the greatest closer of

(25:31):
all time. And then one day he looked around and went,
I'm really not anymore. I'm out Like I'm gonna get
out of here. And they were like, hey, can you
give us one more? Yeap, I'll give you one more? Well, yeah, cool, whatever,
and that was it. Like he I think the day
that he realized he wasn't he didn't have it the
way he did, even though he had more of it
than anybody else, he was like, I don't want to

(25:52):
do this.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
I wonder if that hits for everybody in life. I
don't know if it's just athletes. I really don't know
the answer to that question. I wonder if someone who
works said, you know what, today's the day to retire,
whether it's health, whether it's career, whether it's whatever you do.

Speaker 3 (26:02):
I wonder if that happens for more. I really don't
know the answer to that.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
I think most people, Yeah, I think in day to
day life, I think, but I think your job tells you,
like you know there I've always you always thought I
was stupid for saying this, but like, there's a there's
a point where you age out of this job. Like
if I was still doing country, okay, it's a lot later,
but like I started doing active rock, at what point

(26:25):
when you're on the edge your picks or what it
picks a little different because's classic. But still, at what
point are you no longer edgy because you're just an
old man like in a black T shirt. You know
what I mean. I'm not which I'm gonna be one day.

Speaker 4 (26:35):
But but no, there's there's some truth in that. Like
I feel like I goa blast these two, but they're
hall of famers. It's a radio station I grew up.
There's this place called ninety three Q and Syracuse and
their hosts are Ted and Amy and they've been there
for thirty five years for a top forty station, so
that means they're in their sixties talking about Ariana Grande
like it's it's the ultimate like cookie cutter family station.

(26:57):
But like even as a resident of Syracuse, I forgot, Oh,
the top forty station can be cool in hit but
like you have someone's grandma hosting Top forty AM Drive
but talking about the engine out thing, Like, yeah, there's
a point of this. I would think most people would say, hey,
I want to retire at this age. So maybe for
the nine to five that doesn't work like this, like
what works for athletes it's your arm fell off, you

(27:20):
got hurt, You're not good enough, we're gonna.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Tell you when you're out.

Speaker 2 (27:22):
I think it's very special and select group of people
who get to decide when they're done. And that's across
every career police officers, radio DJs, pitchers Like as much
as we're joking about this forty four year old getting
called up, like rich Hill obviously still has something because
why would I burn a spot at Triple A Wooster?

(27:44):
Why would I burn a spot in this rotation? I mean,
maybe he's just better at reading Apple Watches than some people.
I don't know. I don't know all the details, but
you know it's good ONNYA twenty years of pitching.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Are you upset that he's still gonna be active? Because
we all have one or two athletes we slip on.
You sometimes will slip on James Harden and Rich Harden.
Is rich Hill going to cost you a slip up
because I have Plexico Burrows and Burris Like I almost
did it almost mentally, I'm like, I think I'm getting
it wrong. That used to be the one I used
to always slip on. Now I'm nervous. With rich Hill

(28:17):
back out there, you're gonna think he's gonna go twenty
five and nine coming up for the Clippers or something.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
I stopped caring.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Something are retired first.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
It's kind of fun, you know what I mean. It's
kind of fun when like it gives people something to
talk about, like and like the haters. It's good to
feed him once in a while, you know. So, yeah,
I don't know what the whole James rich Harden thing
was in my brain. I mean I can see them
both very well in my head now and they're very
different people, but uh, you know, now I can't see colors.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
So when I say Joe Burris is the quarterback for
the Bengals, to be.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Like, ah, take that, guys, well, I mean the Hardballs
are the worst Jim and John Harball. We gotta deal
with that. Now. That's gonna happen in the NFL again.
No thanks, just gonna say hardball, not saying first names,
not doing it, just not gonna be a part of it,
all right. So Rich Hill back, that's one. I Have
you watched this growing beef between the mouthiest fighter in

(29:12):
the world, Shawn Strickland from the UFC and Machine Gun Kelly.

Speaker 4 (29:16):
I feel like I'm too dumb to get the feud.
I thought I was understanding. I got a little confused
along the way.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
Here help me.

Speaker 4 (29:23):
I might have missed the major detail in the feud
that I'm confused now by it.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
It's one of it sucks because I don't like either
one of them. Like I enjoy watching Sean Strickland fight.
He's a hell of a fighter inside the cage good.
Anytime that they put a microphone in his face, I'm
just like, you're that guy. You're the guy from high
school who was a good fighter, and now you're gonna
say whatever you want because nobody's inna mess with you.
So at an event, somebody introduces it to him. A

(29:49):
mutual friend introduces machine Gun Kelly to Sean Strickland. Sean
Strickland looks right at machine Gun Kelly goes weirdo like
he's and then proceeds to blast him in interviews and
stuff about how he's dressing like a woman, he's tattooed,
had to toe. He makes fun of him like as
a dad. So like Megan Fox started firing at Sewn

(30:12):
Strickland like it was a whole thing. It was going on.
So Sean Strickland's talking about a handful of times. To
my knowledge, machine Gun Kelly hadn't said anything until recently.
He was on Logan Paul's podcast, which Impulsive, Yeah, which
speaking of that, let's talk about dom Mysteriu in a minute,
and he just said, basically like, why are you still

(30:34):
talking about me like you're he handled it right, because
let's not let's not pretend there's a world in which
machine Gun Kelly can fight Sewn Strickland. Sehn Strickland is
a hammer and everything's a nail in his world. There's
very few there's very few humans who could stand up
next to Sean Strickland and not get knocked out. So

(30:55):
Machine Gun Kelly goes out and he's just like, dude,
all you do by talking about me is make me win.
The more you talk about me, the more I win.
So keep going. You're not smart enough to realize it,
but keep going.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
There's levels of people you root foreign against, like I
get in the fight game. Playing the villain role can
become enough for people to buy a pay per view
and can go through a list of fighters who played
that role. I actually don't like Sean Strickland, Like some
of this stuff is so too far racist prejudice. I mean,
what do you want to pick gender, discriminating every He's

(31:27):
got it all covered. There's trash tame.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
This isn't an act. No, he's just a narrow minded.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Some people don't like fighters because of the way in
which we can go back to history. People didn't like
a Lead because of his political takes and his religious views.
People that didn't like Tyson Fury because of his culture.
We can run through the list of fighters. He almost is.
His stuff is so awful that it's like, we can't
promote this guy. I know there's been a lot of
people like I have been calling on Dina White be like,

(31:56):
you got enough talented fighters, you don't need this guy.
I'm machine gun Kelly on this one.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
So you don't want to hear what Seawn Strickland fired
back with, on X, I will hear it though, yes,
So after this came out almost immediately, this is the
this is Sean Strickland on X. Get the dumb button
ready because I'm gonna getting lectured by a guy who
drinks blood and wears a purse dog. You had a
midlife crisis and tattooed your entire body the the quote

(32:27):
the ex community of intolerance end quote. Y'all I'd hang
out with you toxics toxic trolls any day over this
really bad word. Go back to cutting yourself, you bleeping weirdo.
Why I'm I don't like either one of these guys,

(32:47):
but he's making me like Machine Gun Kelly. That Machine
Gun Kelly's cameo in Jackpot very funny. That that also helped.
But like and only thing I don't like about Machine
Gun Kelly is I just I don't get the music.
I don't get the the the weirdo. I maybe I
am old because a lot of what he's presenting not
my style, not my jam, but mean Fox.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
East Side, Cleveland, wild Boy, Lace Up Levank. I think
Machine Gun Kelly. We did a video a couple of
months ago, like who is my favorite artist, singer performer?
It was Jake Cole, You went Pearl Jam. It could
be Machine Gun Kelly. I think I could name more
Machine Gun Kelly songs than Jake Cole sungs. I to
the compliment of Machine Gun Kelly. I rarely because of

(33:32):
the life I live, because I'm so many things going
on the weekends. I'm a rare concert goer. I think
it's more of the schedule of sports everything.

Speaker 3 (33:39):
Else I want.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
I drove out to Rochester see machine Gun Kelly to
watch out a young machine Gun Kelly perform, and he
didn't show up.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Ah see dirt pag so dirt peg.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
Maybe yeah when somewhere machine Gun Kelly.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
Yeah in this one. I am in this one because
like and machine Gun Kelly says something to the effect of, like,
if you were I don't know, if you're smarter, if
you liked yourself, you wouldn't care. If you're comfor from
your own skin, you wouldn't care what I do, so
like and that's that's a really it's a really good point. Actually,
Like guess I always I remember like people like growing

(34:16):
up and my my daughter would like come home and
somebody tried to bully her and and be like, I
don't know about you, but I don't want to be normal.
So if they're picking on you for being quite weird
rock and roll, you're different. Let's be different. And and
it worked, like she never it never lasted with that
because she's never cared. Like. That's the thing is that
the if you feed a bully, a bully will, like

(34:36):
I said, feed the haters by saying something wrong on
the air if you feed them, they'll come back and
eat all the time, where if you starve them by
just not caring a lot of times, they'll go away.
Like I know the old adages. You know, you gotta
get a punch a bully in the mouth. Not Sean Strickland. No,
that's not a good idea unless you're unless you're Nermaka
made Off, unless you're John Jones, unless uh steep a major,

(34:58):
unless you're a world ranked come come back specialists. No
you don't. This isn't a bully. You punched them mouth.

Speaker 4 (35:05):
I'm good that'll watch John Jones beat up Sean Strickland.
I would pay money to see that, and I actually
would ask for no referee in the fight.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
I think that would be a The size would be
a problem.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Right, good, That's what I hope for. That's what I'm
hoping for John Jones to beat up Sean Strickland.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
He wouldn't see the problem is that this current John
Jones would just lay on him.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
No, no, coud no, I don't think that's what.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
I don't think the current like now, remember John Jones
had there's multiple videos of him out like trying to
stop crying. So maybe if he saw that Strickland was
a bully, he would beat him up that way. But
the last when's the last time you saw John Jones?
Like strikes influence of John Jones fight? I mean, when's
last time he saw John Jones? But I think Steve
that would would lump him up pretty good if he's healthy.

(35:50):
Good Cormier would be fun to watch because Cormier is
good at a lot of stuff. I don't know. That's
how much I don't like Sean Strickland. I like Daniel
Cormier more. And I've never been but Gordon. The less,
the farther we get away from the actual fights, the
more I like Cormier. I like him as an announcer.
I think he's fun. Daniel Bisman with two eyes that
would be that would be a violent, violent fight. But

(36:13):
you know, Sean Strickle is the guy where I'll watch
UFC to see him lose. And it just hasn't happened yet.
And I'm all about you voicing your opinion. You just
don't have to be a jerk all the time, you know,
rationing it out one last story real quickly, and again
this has become the dump because I do see we
do have I do have friends coming. Did you see
the new ad campaign for the Heisman House that's starting

(36:38):
to it's actually I don't think the ads out yet,
but the promotion of the ad is out. No. Nissan's
Heisman House. Yeah, boy number five, Reggie Bush hanging his
picture on the wall next to other Heisman winners like
Billy Simms, mark Ingram, some schlub named Baker Mayfield. It's

(36:58):
it's the beginning. He's there. And they said that he
is actually going to be featured in many, many of
the Heisman House commercials this year because they got to
make up for lost time.

Speaker 4 (37:07):
I am not a fan of that product, and I'm
talking about who puts up the Heisman House. I'm a
mohawk conded person Ride or Die. However, they are very
creative with it. It's a really good campaign, like you
can give credit where credits due, even though it's not
my favorite product, that's a creative campaign.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
And really, when you.

Speaker 4 (37:27):
Think about like sports across like why the Heisman's always
been so cool for me as a kid, is that
there is nothing quite like that in any major professional
sports or college where a single award for a single
player is talked about like this and it's talked about
from week zero all the way to December, where there
is a storyline, there is a focus, there is an impact.

(37:47):
All of those things played into this award and that's
the reason why it gets so much love because of
the creative ads in the Heisman house and what it
means to the athletes and schools and more so, it's
really cool to follow.

Speaker 3 (37:59):
It's a real are you over?

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Are you happy he got his heisman? Now? Are you
happy he got it back? I have?

Speaker 4 (38:04):
Yeah, I'm fine with it, kind of like up on
my high horse cheated me.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
You cheated something that we all said he should be
able to cheat on, but just wanna make sure you're okay.

Speaker 4 (38:17):
I'm okay with it. The Heisman could do what they want.
I've said that before. They do not have to follow
the rules of the NC double A, and they decided
we want to be the cool kids. Everyone's saying, give
Reggie Bush their hivesman back, and we don't have to
listen to the NC double A.

Speaker 3 (38:29):
We are our own LLC, we're our own entity.

Speaker 4 (38:32):
If this makes us feel like this is what's best
for the Heisman, we'll do what's best for business.

Speaker 3 (38:36):
And they did.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
You made me realize, like, I don't even know what
vehicles Nissan has anymore, so I had to go, like, look,
the sports cars look kind of cool. There's a there's
a Nissan front toier pickup that drives around this area
that's decked out. That looks cool. It's a cool looking trunk.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
I would say, I'm mohawk conted to the death. But
that's why that campaign works because people just did what
you just did.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Honestly, if you hadn't said I don't, if you hadn't
so you said, wouldn't even I wouldn't have realized because
like I've never owned I almost had a pathfinder. At
one point. They used to be really really cool. It
looks like now, like you know me, I'm a car guy,
so I like, I like a lot of different cars. Yeah, no,
not a fan. I like I like your CR you better.
I like the Tahoe the best. But I mean, whatever

(39:19):
it is, what it is. It's just one of those
things like I grew up loving cars. I was the
little weird kid that I could tell you by the
headlights what what it was.

Speaker 4 (39:32):
Wow, that's like the I've seen that on television shows
before the car drives by and someone can nail the car.

Speaker 2 (39:37):
That review mirror whatever, because my dad was a mechanic
and I wanted to impress him. It didn't work, but
I tried. I gave it an effort, I put I
put effort in there, and it just didn't didn't didn't move,
didn't move the needle.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
The kids are the people who do like that, who
have that skill set of nailing the vehicle by the
headlights or something else driving by. Is that in the
same category of someone yelling out an athlete and the
next person yelling out their college, Like, that's gotta be
like in.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
The same I think you're probably burning the same mental calories.
I think somewhere in the chamber, somewhere whatever, whatever space
of the brain that's taking up. It's like, I think,
maybe that's why I can't remember the dis between James
and Rich Harden. Maybe that's the Maybe that's why I
still I can still spot a mid sixties Camaro by
its headlight from about, you know, two hundred yards away.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
Joe Burrow is spelled b U r r W Burrow,
not the weird do Orleans spelling.

Speaker 2 (40:28):
We got this knowledge.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
We're making a twenty twenty four resolution. We're not gonna
screw those two one. No, I'm going to look ninety
nine point nine percent of the time where Naylin athletes
names and someone just cackled hearing that.

Speaker 3 (40:38):
They probably think it's lower.

Speaker 4 (40:39):
Let's talk about C four, Lavac, because I want to
find out who these guests are. To close out today's show,
we've got big news. Tomorrow is the finale for our
horse racing side of the C four Challenge. You've got
an opportunity to live BacT, to close it out and
win it for a local charity, and then coming up
in football season, we've got some awesome information on the
way about C four. But tomorrow the finales we broadcast

(40:59):
live from Rivers Cansino on Resort Our final half hour
the show is commercial free. But before we get to
all that, you have an opportunity, thanks to C four,
to bring it home. Popsicle flavors has been our taste
all summer long.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Absolutely, and then, well you know what, if I'm being
real with you, I've been needing that little extra boost lately.
So I've been the ultimates up and I've been told
they ain't going nowhere. It's to be the Ultimate c
Ford Bankroll Challenge coming up very soon and ultimately because
I'm gonna dominate it, I think. But man, I love
I love me some C four. I have to hide

(41:32):
it in the fridge because my kid will and we'll
I consider kids, because I've got I've got my daughter
and her boyfriend. They will steal my C four. Oh
I didn't know it was yours? Oh how much C
four have you bought lately? Some not your liar? Where'd
you get it? Stewart's okay, good call, that's true.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
You said I hid it in the fridge. There were
two C fours here at the iHeart fridge. One is
now gone. I gave it this junior. I think you
needed one today, did you? Was that one of mine? No,
it's one of the guests. Is one of the guests?

Speaker 2 (41:58):
Okay, all right, good, Well, as long as it's not mine,
don't take mine, keep your hands off my C four?
All right. So it's a big weekend in the Capitol region.
Some of my good friends who I have not been
able to see in a while, are gonna stop it
in a minute, and they're gonna help us bring this
bad boy home. It is Leven Gods. Fox Sports Radio
ninety five nine, nine eight.

Speaker 1 (42:15):
It's Lavack and Guys on ninety five nine Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (42:20):
And it is one of my favorite times of the year. Historically,
I will take the last week of August off for
a couple of reasons. One of my birthday is right
around then. But more importantly, the Capitol District Scottish games
are coming up. They're gonna be this Saturday. And I
have not seen you guys in way too long. Bill Monroe,
Ian Monroe from the Senectady Pipe Band. What like? How

(42:40):
could how could I not be a part of putting
it together. I'll put it a little bit of work.
I'm here to help you, hear him laugh like that.
Before I could have I could have tried all the beers.
How how are we looking? Because it's it's a major
you should be a two day event to one day
event this year?

Speaker 6 (42:58):
Correct, that's right. It's been day since the pandemic.

Speaker 8 (43:01):
Yeah, and unfortunately or fortunately actually we seem to get
a bigger crowd on Saturdays, and we did with both days.
So we're staying with it and it's been great. We've
you know, this is our forty fifth year putting the
games on for the Effectady Pipe Band. Before that, there
were they were run by Klan McCrae from nineteen thirty

(43:23):
nine till nineteen sixty seven and the baby I.

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Heard you guys are still at war over that battle
halfway through the every day.

Speaker 6 (43:31):
Get back and we're keeping it.

Speaker 8 (43:34):
So we got you know, we got a committee of
a couple of hundred people who are all volunteers and
put this event together and it's just a lot of fun.
Ian is the coachair of the committee and he's got
a lot of responsibilities.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
So what do you have to do now, because like
when I first met you, you barely spoke. I didn't
know I knew the drum talk. I didn't know you did.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
Well, you know, that's pretty much what I let that
do for a long time.

Speaker 5 (43:56):
When you're around bagpipers, you don't get a lot of
chance to talk pretty they do their things.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (44:03):
So I mean we've we were organizing all the bands.
We've got you know, thirty pipe bands coming. That's almost
five hundred bagpipers and drummers. Uh that'll be at the
mass bands. So that's awesome getting those guys all in
all the athletics getting on. You know, everybody registered and
set up.

Speaker 2 (44:18):
And ready to go.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
Everything the field now is looking beautiful, so you can
mess it up with all the cabs and stones and
all that good heavy stuff. Uh So we're we're you know,
all the volunteers are out there every night working hard
getting this thing ready. We're excited.

Speaker 4 (44:32):
I'm gonna speak for my co host Lavac, who you
guys are both looking at right now. He is so
excited for the Scottish Games. He gets excited about this
every year. He is so excited Mike and Riley who
are sitting behind me or watching his excitement from another studio.
But Levac knows about how exciting the Scottish Games are
for those who haven't heard about it before. What gets
people so excited every to keep going back to them?

Speaker 3 (44:55):
I know your answer?

Speaker 2 (44:57):
Who beer? Yeah, well it helps.

Speaker 8 (45:01):
What gets what gets people excited is that they can
actually see.

Speaker 6 (45:06):
Scotland in Altamont for a whole day.

Speaker 8 (45:09):
And the music not only just the pipe music and
pipe band, but dancers, athletes, the musical, the tent, the
beer tent, with all the music we have there.

Speaker 6 (45:20):
We have Scary Vore, which is a.

Speaker 8 (45:22):
Big band coming direct from Scotland to play their games,
and they'll be playing twice on Saturday. Just there's so
much excitement. There's clans in societies that have almost forty
tents from different clans that come around and explain what
they're about and maybe help you with genealogy questions and

(45:44):
things like that.

Speaker 6 (45:46):
And the food and.

Speaker 8 (45:48):
The libations are all delicious naturally, so it's a good time.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
All right. So bridies and meat pies. If you've never
had a bridie nor meat pie, this is you have
to go try them. You have to. I haven't brave
enough to try a Hagas puff yet.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
Really it's so good, it really is, Jeff. I mean,
you know, first of all, you fry anything that's actually
my diapol planet is there you go. Hagis does not
fall out of that category. It's fried. It's awesome. I mean,
you gotta try it. It's one of the best things
of the weekend. In my opinion, is.

Speaker 2 (46:20):
That, like, hold on, let's be because you know, Bill
got quiet while you were lying to me. Is it
How often would you eat a Hager's puff? Is it
just because it's the weekend?

Speaker 5 (46:31):
Well, you can't get them that often. So you got
to get there and get them at the games.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
That's the whole thing.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
I mean, if I could eat them every day, I'd
probably be dead by now.

Speaker 6 (46:40):
But to be honest, I don't eat them.

Speaker 2 (46:42):
It's not a health food.

Speaker 6 (46:43):
But you gotta enjoy it when you can.

Speaker 8 (46:45):
We had a we had a haggis from Scotland and
Bridge of alland that was deep fried, and they gave
us two of them. Then they were about maybe eight
inches long each and we were able to consume one
and we looked at each other and said, I can't
do anymore this all right.

Speaker 2 (47:02):
Do this for everyone? Please explain what a traditional haggis is.

Speaker 8 (47:06):
Go ahead, Well, it's got anything that a sheep has,
and it's enters.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
Is in the is in the hagates.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
Nothing goes the way I thought it was.

Speaker 8 (47:20):
Yeah, you know, it doesn't have a great reputation in
the culinary surroundings. But if you're Scottish and you and you,
you know how good it is.

Speaker 6 (47:34):
Have you ever heard the address to the haggis? Oh
my god.

Speaker 8 (47:38):
Annually we have a couple of dinners that we play
at and there's a guy who come up and address
the haggates and it's a it's a long poem that
he memorizes and eventually he takes a knife and cuts
it down.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
It's a warm deacon. These are people. I love it.
It's true. Well, all right, so again you'll see me
at the bridey and meat pies. Uh, that's where I'm
gonna be. I'm gonna be there noon too, officially. Like
I I'm a little I don't know I had to
work at all. Like I was just gonna go and

(48:14):
do what I do, which is post up in some
lawn chairs and get ready to listen to music. And
that's that's how I get down. But the shopping is fun.
All that I mean is it is for everybody who's
looking for something cool to do. This is the cool
thing to do this weekend.

Speaker 5 (48:27):
Absolutely, shops and vendors, I mean are all the scottishtuff
you could ever want. If you're looking for a kilt,
you're looking for a skiing do which is the knife
to put in your sock, any of that stuff it's there. Dancers,
pipers of course, the caber toss.
