Episode Transcript

(00:00):
It's Lavak and Guzz on ninety fivenine Fox Sports Radio. Oh my goodness.
All right, so we now haveevidence clearing shohe Atani of any wrongdoing.
I've I'm right up in the events, guys, and it's compelling to

(00:20):
the logical side of me that thatpossibly Otani's a victim here. I just
can't believe it though, Like Ijust there's a part of me that feels
like everything was so quiet, right, so boom Otani is behind this wager
nonsense and four and a half milliondollars wired. Everybody went, it's impossible,

(00:44):
there's no way you can do it. And then the news comes out
and this happens. And here weare a couple of weeks later, after
a very quiet period, and allthe evidence is in place. Everything's perfectly
laid out for how it be.The translation, Miss Ahura is the evil,

(01:04):
defrauding, stealing friend of Shoho Tani. They're accusing him of stealing up
to sixteen million dollars from sho HeoTani between September of twenty twenty one and
when he was finally caught late twentythree. I want to make sure I
heard you correctly. You said you'restarting to believe this, but you want

(01:26):
to. I want to make sureI clarify it because that's a really important
part of this. I'm so Ican't. I can't believe Shoho Tani.
I can't. It's just too convenient, it's too easy, And I gotta
be honest with you. As trustingas I am, as trusting as my
I have through what I do professionally, whether it be for Belfour, for

(01:49):
the Firebirds, other ventures that I'mpart of. I have access to a
lot of people's personal funds. Ido, and they're business funds, and
I'll pay bills. And if Idon't show accounting, I'm asked where the
money went everywhere from forty to fortythousand, you know what I mean,
it happened, where'd the money go? So even if this this gentleman did,

(02:13):
and I'll explain how they're saying this, this came to pass, Nobody
noticed sixteen million missing dollars. Nobodywent, hey, you know what,
I five hundred grand wet No,it's only five hundred great Nobody Nobody did
that, Not an account not amanager, not show Ayotani himself, not
the dog when he went bought thedog. He didn't go huh, account
looks a little light. You justjust sixteen million dollars vanishes. I mean

(02:38):
you don't notice. I'm just gonnaplay Devil's advocate. Okay, I don't
believe it, but let's play Devil'sadvocate. I'll play it for a second
here. Professional athletes, of anygroup of people, are the most known
to do that. Like professional athletesin the past have put their money in
the hands of people that they believethey can trust, and they get out
of the way and they go playbaseball, football, basketball and say,
okay, this is my business manager. I need even check my bank account

(03:00):
today. What do you mean sixteenmillions? Man? Some people would say
that this is not the first timein the history of pro sports a pro
athlete has lost a ton of moneyto a business major. What is the
he's not But again, he's nota businessman. No, no, no,
he's as translator, friend, accounttranslator, interpreter, f friends,
sure associates. Federal authorities have fileda complaint accusing Musahara, who is thirty

(03:24):
nine, of bank fraud, sohe can have a maximum fine of up
to a million dollars or go tojail for thirty years in prison. What
they're saying. Text messages show thatMusahara began gambling in September of twenty twenty
one. He started losing substantial sumsof money, and then bank records show

(03:47):
that the phone number and email addresson the bank accounts who were charged to
those associated were changed. I'm sorryto those associated with Missahara. So he's
losing all this money. He looksover, he sees the show. Hey
Otani, he's got a yo yoor something. He's not paying, snapping

(04:08):
bubblegum, playing baseball. He's like, change the name, change the numbers.
Whoop? Okay, now I haveaccess. They've got recorded phone calls
from the bank which Musahara falsely identifiedhimself as Otani to quote trick and deceive
bank employees into authorizing transactions and transfers. There's a transfer in June of twenty

(04:33):
twenty three for five hundred thousand dollarsthat links to this Matthew Boyer who is
a big time, big time bookie, which that guy is the one he
over about four and a half to, but allegedly he's up to sixteen million.
Now okay, could you sneak it, if you could, I could

(04:56):
I go and sneak into somebody's account, change some things, we some money
off? Sure I could? Surecould I get it? I get away
with it for a little while.I'm not getting away with it for four
three four years. I'm not gettingaway with it for sixteen million dollars.
And if and let me just bevery very clear, if he is,

(05:16):
if he is the guy who isOtani's saying, hey, you just take
care of that for me? Hey, you just pay that, he's hey,
listen, the jet that we usedto go back home, they need
to they need to get their deposit. Can you it's like ten grand?
Can you just take care of that? Sure? No problem? Then he
will. He would he would callthe bank like he would. He would

(05:38):
be able to call the bank andsay, hey, show, hey,
dude, what's up? Move thatfive hundred grand please? He would.
It would all it would all bepart of the same process. So if
he is both evil enough and stupidenough to think he could long term steal
sixteen million dollars and never get caught, Okay, but what if show,

(06:00):
hey, Otani is most smart enoughto go, hey, just in case
this ever blows up, your voiceis on everything seems very believable, that
last part to anybody, because here'swhat's happened this And credit to you,
levac our guy guns on Twitter atthe gun Show with Z he's on this.
You guys sniffed something out way backin February and March about hmmm.

(06:24):
So it's weird. Something about Otanidoesn't smell right. Something's not right about
this guy. And it's whether it'ssocial media or interview, something's not right.
So I'm with you on Otani havinghis fingers on something here. It
is too obvious because let's go wayback. Okay, when this first hit
the airwaves, when this first broke, the story that was the alleged story

(06:45):
that Ippy Hit stolen money from Otani, that he was the victim, he
was this, he was that.But then all of a sudden, in
about I think it was three hours, it started to change. Remember like
if he's gonna have this interview andif he's gonna say this, but all
of us sudden, Well, firstit was oh, he's a great person,
he helped me. There it is, Yes, it was stole he
stole from Yes, So you knowwhat the order honestly doesn't even matter.

(07:09):
Within a span of about three hours, we got stolen from, helped him
out, helped him out, stolefrom whoa okay is the crisis PR team
tried to get in ahead of this, whether Otani's team slipped, whether one
told the truth, whether one neededthe lie, whether they came up with
an elaborate scheme. This is thescheme you would come up with to hide

(07:30):
Otani. This is a no good, horrible person who's suffering from a terrible
disease. That Otani, the good, amazing person came to save him.
But no, but no, hebroke into his bank account unknowingly and took
money for years. And Otani wasthis horrible, like you said, blowing
bubblegum and throwing a yo yo townhaving no idea of that for years a

(07:51):
person that he was talking to ona daily basis was taking his money.
What did they talk about They evenmentioned this in three years that hey is
this? It's weird that like sometimesmoney comes out of my bank account and
your name it's going to dude,that's so weird? What no, like,
come on like this is I'm Idon't work at PR. You really
don't work at PR. You workwith people on the team who have you

(08:13):
know, public relations, social media, but like this is what you would
do? This is it? Likethis is such a lie? Do you
want to know? It's probably thetruth? Here? Do you know how
I could move your money and younot realize how much of your money I'm
moving is if you also had thesame habits I had, if you also

(08:35):
had me paying your bookie, andthen I was just yeah, I got
it, I'll take care of I'llpick your book out of the out of
the blah blah account. Okay,cool, no problem, And then I
would just piggyback mine onto it.So if I was stealing from you,
the easiest way to do that wouldbe if you were also doing something bad
because your account You're not calling youraccount and going, hey, where's that

(08:56):
two hundred grand that you know youblew on, you know, the white
Sox, Like that's there's there's noway I can I mean, I shouldn't
say no way. The way it'sdescribed does lead me a little bit of
a maybe show heeo. Tani isso so sheltered and so naive that he
felt for this. Maybe ten percentninety percent of me believes he's involved in

(09:20):
it in some way, shape orform, my hope, and this is
not what you and I do fora living. We are not big jay
journalists, hope spots, talk radiohost. But let's go back to the
Manti Tales story from almost ten yearsago. The Manti Tale story. Now,
looking back ten years plus later,it's like, so his girlfriend and
grandma died within weeks of each other, but nobody knew what happened to the

(09:43):
girlfriend, and no one knew ifthey had actually met her before, but
no one followed up. Huh,that's kind of weird. So also around
that same time, so Johnny Manziel'sparents actually weren't rich, and Johnny Manzel
actually didn't go to rehab. Maybepeople should have followed up on that.
Can somebody who Sam Blum, weused to work out here in all but
who works out in LA now?Somebody never let this die. I hope

(10:05):
there's somebody out in Los Angeles.I hope there's somebody on the West Coast
wherever that every single day they're onthis hunt because the obvious evidence is right
in front of him. Of Okay, everyone's changing the story. Somebody's a
victim, money's being transferred, Theyspent every day. Someone's gonna find the
truth here, and it seems tooobvious that Otani's not involved. Now of

(10:26):
course major League Baseball, this wouldbe the worst case scenario to have this
happen. Oh yeah, oh.I brought up this example of crosspork comparison
before, like a Mecca with Zoku, who used to be the coach of
the Boston Celtics. We still dothis day. Don't know why he got
fired. The reason he got protectedis because his agent works for CAAA and
Woj and Shams's agent also works forhis agent, so he got covered.

(10:50):
None of them nobody wanted to saywhat happened. Oh Tani could have a
cover and maybe we'll all believe it. But I think people with common sense
are looking at this story and like, come on, like this isn't even
that good of a story to coverup O Tani. Well, but the
best they could do, it's thebest thing. This is enough that if
you want to turn them blind eyeto it, you can. Yes,

(11:11):
like if you're baseball, if I'mman for like, yeah, it makes
perfect sense. Throw that man ina hole and throw away the key.
I won't ask you this. Let'ssay it's three years in jail, Hippy,
Yeah, he gets three years injail. How much? How much
I gonna pay you for you todo potentially three years in jail? For

(11:31):
me? Me personally, I'm notdoing. I'm there's no number that I'm
going to jail for ten million dollars, twenty million dollars. I'm not going
to jail, Freddy, thirty million, ten million dollars a year. How
much do you think you're gonna makein your life? Guys, I'm not
going to jail all right, mypoint of my life right now. I

(11:54):
got two kids. I'm not tellingthe kids and check it out for a
few years for the money, now, how best behavior? Maybe you're out
in a year and a half.We're having that conversation with it be right
now. That's what I'm saying.I'm perfectly honest with you. There's a
number. There's a number for me, one hundred percent. I'm gonna sit
down, I'm gonna do the math. How much are you gonna make in

(12:16):
my lifetime? Blah blah blah.I'm gonna then take that number. I'm
gonna times to buy a gajillion theseven time million dollar contracts in my head
while I'm doing this and this number, and if it's hey, I gotta
eat it. I gotta go inthere. I'm the guy. I'm the
bad guy. I stole everything.I'm the wo er bad ah. All
right, start paying my kid beforeI while I'm in, have the rest

(12:39):
waiting for me when I get out, have it somewhere and you know overseas
put it uh the uh the theJeffrey Allah Levac trust and I'm in.
I'll go. I'll go. I'llgo do it because you're going again,
and it's a fighting crime. It'snot like you're going to a real prison.

(13:01):
Here's the thing about Hippy. Yougot beat up by accountants. All
right, Well, least Cat Williamsis an example here. So Kat Williams
got what fifty million dollars or excuseme, fifty million views for Shannon sharpa
Channa Sharp mede to claim that he, in that interview alone, made more
one interview that he made his entireone season of an NFL career. Like
that's how big it went. Butthe reason Kat Williams went viral is,

(13:24):
according to everybody, he told thetruth, Like here is something you've never
heard before. I'm going to tellthe truth. It's the Concussion movie with
Will Smith where he thought he wasgonna win the oscar and then he had
to slap some people around, likeChris Rock, and then he wanted for
Richard Williams. If your hippy,don't you just tell the truth, Like
I know you're saying thirty million dollarsI could lie and did take it.
Maybe maybe that's it. Maybe it'sas simple as I got thirty million to

(13:46):
lie. Great, but this isthe era now of with everybody with a
podcast and a radio show in anoutlet. And so, my god,
the guy from Quiet on the Set, that Snyder guy put out a twenty
minute video after Quiet on the Setair, like he spoke what he thought
was the truth. If Ippy reallydidn't do this, or oh, Tani's
not involved, I would tell Ippywhoever's on his team at this point,

(14:07):
you know what, just tell usthe truth. So Tani was involved,
what's gonna happen? You're going tojail anyways, Like maybe you cost yourself
ten million bucks, and maybe that'sthe answer. Take the ten million and
just go to jail. But like, if it really happened, he's got
an outlet to tell the truth today, tomorrow, next month, and the
truth is gonna make him like thirtyforty grand and then and then he's exiled

(14:28):
from his career. He's never gonnahe's never going to be a translator in
the world of athletics again. Thereis never going to your You are never
gonna see an interview with a Japanesefootball player, volleyball player, baseball and
he's sitting next one. I thinkthat ship has already sailed though. That's
never happening. It's over, that'sgone. My premise is you're guilty of

(14:54):
this. Maybe I am too,but I will jump on that grenade.
I'll take all the blame you cutme in check. I'll deal with whatever
I gotta deal with, and I'mdone. And then when I get out,
I never have to work again.I never do it. Oh my
god, it's so terrible, dude. We all put ourselves in prison for

(15:15):
a year and a half, twoyears because people were getting sick. You
can't put yourself into prison. AndI'll tell you what I'm broke from that.
I lost money during that. Yeah, I will want it. You
tell me three years over three,I start getting a little twitchy. I
don't know. If I don't want, I wantever. You know, there's
a number. I'm probably fifteen.I'm probably five million a year. That's

(15:37):
what I need to do. Prison. I'm not going down for a CRIMEA
didn't commit, not murder, nothingviolent. I mean, you know,
listen, listen, hey, Ineed you to do this for me so
I can keep being a baseball player. Make seven hundred million dollars. Okay,
well I want ten percent. Youwant seventy million dollars, not ten
percent, or you can make nothingand get kicked out of baseball. I

(15:58):
can tell the truth, go tojail, seventy seventy million dollars, God,
three years of your life, maybea year and a half if you're
ippy at the end of that.Let's play your scenario out of here.
Okay, let's say ipp he goesto jail, he goes to prison,
he does this three years. We'lltoss that number out there. The year
is twenty twenty eight. The twentymillion dollar check clears, all right,
it's in your bank account. That'swhen you launched the podcast. No,

(16:21):
you never get yours. You signedthat, you gotta sign whatever you gotta
sign. You never get to yougotta be the man, and you go
and you're done, what do youneed? Do you know how quickly I
would go away? Oh my god, I be You wouldn't be able to
keep up with me. I wouldgo everywhere I wanted to go. I
do whatever I want to do.Let's be honest. I would use that
money to sleep with far younger beautifulwomen than myself. That's what I would

(16:41):
That's what I would use that moneyfor, and I'd be happy. What
if you went home today and yousay, the missus you believe this.
I was offered fifteen million dollars togo to jail for three possibly a year
and a half of good behavior forthree years, as she went, why
are you here? That's generational money. Guys. By the way, that

(17:03):
that scene you just talked about,I'm pretty sure is a premise of for
those who haven't seen the movie movie, excuse me, the television show secession
that happens is that what it isthat there's a pivotal scene in the history
of the series involving that and who'sgonna be the fall guy and everything else
that doesn't really ruin the show,But if you watch his secession, you

(17:25):
know exactly what I'm talking about aboutthat scene you just played out involving a
husband and wife and taking the falland how much money and what's gonna happen
when you get out. Yeah,I would go home with my daughter right
now, and I'd be like,listen, house is yours, this is
yours, this is yours. Igot dad, he's going away for three
years. Wait, what did youdo? Dad stole a bunch of money

(17:47):
from Shohotani? Really yeah, absolutelystole a bunch of money for show.
Don't steal kids. Everything's good,though. I'll see it a couple of
years and then I come back outand I'm just making it way. I'm
just man, Daddy's got everything covered. Honey, your kids are covered,
your grandkids are covered. Everything's covered. It wants that parlay. By the
way, my fourteamer. Look atthis six pack I built in prison.

(18:11):
I'm just thinking there's no beer.Look at me. I'm brand new.
Hashtag it the insiders listen to mytips and sign today. I'm sorry,
I'm not going. I think Ithink I would start like, here's the
problem. By having this conversation allowed, I I'll never get to do this
because somebody comes to me like,let's say let's say you you get rich

(18:34):
and then you let's use Boston Dadbecause he enjoys me on the show.
He's stunningly rich. All of asudden he does something kind of stupid financially
that could get him in some trouble. He doesn't want to go to jail.
I'm your I'm your huckleberry. Idid it. You didn't do it.
The money there, rock and Roll. I'm out well now because I
had this conversation. Anybody I goto jail for, they're all going to

(18:56):
think the other guy was guilty.I ruined this for myself. You played
this smart. I like where yourhead's at. Guys will one hundred percent
go to jail for you. He'sjust too smart to admit it in public.
So if you ever do anything bad, No, he's in Levac just
rolling his DMS. Okay, I'mtelling you. You offered your services today.
If anything, listen, if thatif that's if that's real, like

(19:17):
if that's real, Like if you'reout there and you're like five a year,
let's go talk to this dude,rock and Roll. I get paid
on the max amount of time Icould potentially be in if I get out
for good behavior, you don't geta discount. That's just me living life
and uh, you know we're good. I can hear the gold standard of
WGY Jim Gangly already reading the newsreport now about you in local news.

(19:41):
Jeff Leovac in Bezel's twenty billion dollarsget six months in jail. Later seen
on a yacht on dry ground,screaming I don't give a bleep as loud
as can be heard across the neighborhood. Pull the audio. April eleventh,
twenty twenty four. Man, Itell you, I can't believe like if

(20:03):
I was, if I was Evvy, I'd be all in. I'd be
all in. I can't believe Idon't have famous friends, because I'd be
the dude who would do this.And I think Johea Tani found the right
dude. That's it. If he'slike how much rock and roll? Man,
my career's over already, doesn't matterwhat happens next. I'm all in.
I'd love to know what he got. I love it. And there's
an island of people taking the blamefor the patriots. You know they all

(20:26):
got millions. Yes, I'll takethe blame. I'll go live on that
island for a little bit, talkabout how much we hate the Patriots.
Now be great. I'd sleep likea baby. You know, that's the
one relationship I would have to be. I would have to you have to
tell me that even though I'm goinginside, doctor fred Dreyer is still gonna
make me my mouth. I thinkhe would. I think he. I
think he respects me enough he'd belike, Jeff, I'm mad at you
for breaking the law, but hereI want you to sleep appropriately. I'm

(20:48):
a diplomatic dental sleep medicine. What'sthat mean? That means he's actually certifying
this. He's not just It's notlike the Joe Rogan thing or some stupid
catchphrase you hear online. This isa mouthpiece that is made for you,
and it is a team at theInner Grave Sleep Center to make sure it
fits right and it is working.They will walk you through the whole process.
It is amazing. No hoses,no wires, no surgery. A

(21:11):
mouthpiece has taken away most of mysnoring. Sleep apne is under control.
And again, if I can havethat, I will do time for someone.
As long as I get to sleep, I'm in It's a thing five
six eight five six a five.Doctor Frederior does not endorse the prison part
of the message, but he onehundred percent believes you need to call so

(21:32):
you can start sleeping better thanks tothe ind a Grave Sleep Center. It's
been a long time stay backed awayfrom the microphone. Levec watched me do
it right there during the Integrated SleepCenter Talking Doctor fred Dreier is a gentleman
who would never break the law andnever endorse breaking the law. But he
is a holistic dentist. He isa diplomatic sleep medicine and for that reason,
he would not begrudging me good sleepwhile I was getting paid to go
to jail. For gods, hewouldn't do it. It's Fox Sports Radio

(21:56):
ninety five nine to nine eighty.It's Lavak and Godz on ninety five nine
Fox Sports Radio. Once a weekwe get to talk to one of our
favorite people in the Capitol region.That's the head coach of the Patroons.
That is Derek Rolan, And sir, it is good to good to hear
from you. How are we doing? Give us a quick and dirty update

(22:17):
on the Patroons and where we're at. Well, we're always in the heat
of battles. Man, you know, we're always going through. We're practice
today. We got a big onecoming up against Jamestown tomorrow night. In
Jamestown, they're like one game behindus in the standing, and this is
a huge game simply because we're twogames back in the lost column. We

(22:38):
can't afford to fall any further backand expect to catch these guys down the
stretch. So it's a big gamefor us. The players are in a
good place right now, good frameof mine. We're on a three game
win. Street, had a goodweek of practice, and now it's time
to go out and put it allto work. So really looking forward to
him. Did you have to yellat anybody for looking at the sun during

(23:00):
the eclipse? No? No,Now, Hey, my mom's called me
like three or four times pleading withme not to look at the sun and
tell all my kids not to lookat the sun. So I didn't look
at the sun. I just stayedin the house. I didn't even go
out. I just stayed. Istayed in. Man, you know,
it was a big event though everynew station carried it. Everybody was talking

(23:21):
about it. Men's and people wereout, so anything that brings people together
in families. I think it's agood thing. So it was a good
day. It was a good day. As you con did a roll through
this season, are you happy withthe development of certain players so far early
on? I'm sure that's the thingcoaches take pride in the you know what,
we saw this guy in camp,We saw this guy. I'm so
impressed. But why this guy isdoing so far? Well, yeah,

(23:44):
you know, it's it's always awork in progress, you know, because
it's you know, a twenty fivetwenty six game season. But yeah,
you know, we're developing as ateam, you know, trying to get
the chemistry. You know. Individually, the players are playing well. You
know, I think everybody in thestart in five averages at least sixteen points
a game. And you know,so we're we're you know, we're playing
some pretty good defense, you know. And my thing is is peaking at

(24:07):
the right time. So we're we'rein that mode right now to where we're
on that climb up, and uh, it's a good place to be right
now. You know, we startedout a little slow. I had a
couple of injuries things in the fallin place, but right now I think
we're on the upclimb and and hopefullywe can just keep moving forward. You
know, this is not going tobe an easy game tomorrow night, so

(24:30):
we just have to be prepared andgo down and and I handle our business
all the Pratrud's coach Derek rolling withus right now a Fox Sports Radio ninety
five and nine, and coach,you know, you have a long season.
Like everybodys used to the Firebirds andthe FireWolves and everything. Nobody has
a season quite as long as thePatroons when it comes to this, you
know, indoor sports in the Capitolregion. Is it is it too early

(24:52):
to peak or is it one ofthose things where you just want to peak
and keep running. He can keeprunning. It's not too early to peak,
because you know, once once,once we get it, we just
keep moving forward. But again,you know the best time to play your
best basketball is down the back stretch. But I'm striving to play my best
basketball today, you know what Imean, tonight tomorrow. You know,
just because every game counts, andthese teams, you know, we get

(25:15):
everybody's best game, you know,because of our history, because of the
Armory and all the stuff that youknow, people come really motivated to beat
us, so we get everybody's bestgame, which is good for us because
it prepares us for the second partof the season. But we're just looking
to get better and reach that highevery game. Always thinking about your son

(25:36):
and going through a season. Dowe last time you joined us for a
year debut on Fox sportswety five nine, I think love Aly the joke you
just found laid round somewhere randomly callthem? Is this easy? Continues their
role a lot. Any more advicefor your son and how he's doing well,
No, he's he's he's playing well. You know, he's a team
player and all the guys enjoy playingwith him because he's a past first point

(25:59):
guard and you know, and heknows the system. He's been around as
long. He knows what I wantand uh, you know him along with
Trevor watching the my point guards rightnow, and Trevor is obviously a high
level point guard. So but butDerek is doing well. You know,
it's a long way to go becauseyou know, you know, everything,
when it really counts, it's whenthe playoffs hit and the big games come.

(26:22):
So we're just trying to build upto that point. But so far,
so good for him. You know, he's working hard and he's he's
looking good, so he's got tokeep that call up. Coach. What's
the best way for Patrude's fans,you know, back home, to show
their support and love and let youguys know that while you're on the road,
we're still here for you. Well, you know, the games are
live stream, but the but thebest way for us is to is to

(26:44):
come to a game. We playedthis Sunday afternoon. It's a matinee.
It's a great it would be agreat day for basketball and not a whole
lot going on after church, andjust to be in the building. Man,
you know, our games are electric. I really pride myself on putting
an exciting team on the floor withthe athletes dunking the ball and the speed
of the game and intensity and allthose things. So I mean, I

(27:07):
think once should come to a game, I think you'll come back for seconds.
So I mean, the biggest wayto support us is just show up
and cheer for us, because youknow, when we take the floor,
seeing the fans in the stands isa really big thing for us and it
helps us do what we need todo. At a high level. So
for more coming to the games obviouslyfor US, ye, no doubt.

Albany Patunes basketball dot com for moreinformation and Albany Patun's basketball dot com.
You mentioned Sunday Funday coming up onApril fourteenth before we hit record. By
the way, Levac, you wereasking about the music of Sam Clifford,
the owner of the team, likethis, Sunday Funday feels like the time
Sam should perform, coach. Idon't know if you know. I'm great
on a xylophone. By the way, don't do you have any musical talents
you might perform on Sunday Funday?No, I don't you know. I

(27:52):
sing in the shower. That's aboutas far fact all that. But other
than that, man, you know, I love music, all types of
music, you know, of allall types of music, but no no
instrumental skills. But I look forwardto hearing a good band and seeing some
musicians performed. I really enjoy that. Now I'm trying to think of the
band that coach things in the shower. I'm going to earth Winding Fire.

(28:14):
I feel like, well, yeah, yeah, you can take it back.
Earth Winding Fire A little barried bylittle Teddy pinder Grass, you know,
all the the old school stuff.Man that was that that that never
dies you know. So uh soyeah, yeah. But the music is
a big part of what we do. We music is a part of our
training every day. I let theguys warm up to it and certain drills

(28:37):
to music because it just feeds theso on, you know. And I
tell my guys, a good teamis like a good jazz man, you
know. One if one if oneguy's out of sync, the whole thing
is out of sync. So wetry to keep that harmony and keep everybody
on the same accord and just playand be smooth and and operate as a
well oiled machine. So we justuse all of those things to put us

(29:00):
all on the same page. Themusic is a big part of it.
See, coaches got the right attitudewhen it comes to different generational music.
There are some coaches, Lahac,you and I have talked to him that
when they let the team and theplayers decide the music, they are criticizing
it the whole time, Like whatis that? It sounds like you're not
doing that? I think, no, no, no. I let you
know, they're the ones that areout there playing you know I'm on the
sign line, just trying to keepa little order. But you know,

(29:22):
I know, as you know,I played the game, so I know
what a good song will do foryour soul and your energy and everything else
that you got going on. Sono, it's up to the player,
you know. But when I'm whenI'm in my car, when I'm at
home, I got my own stuffthat I listened to and put on the
court. I leave it up tothem. I love it. Just you
know, I would break out alittle Taylor Swift shake it off. I
would, Yeah, you know,it shocked people, you know what I

(29:45):
mean, Like I like that shockfactor. We got it all figured out,
Coaches, Earth Wind and Fire.You're gonna do some Taylor Swift.
Sam's got his music xylophone. Wegotta figure this all out for Sunday.
Come out and support the team.We got a whole band set up right
there for you. Yeah, it'llbe a gig day. You know.
We've got tri State. We wejust played them maybe a couple of weeks

(30:07):
ago, but they'll be a formidableteam and I'm sure it'll be an exciting
day here at the Armory. Andat three pm is perfect Essentially, you
got kids in the house. Bythen they're they're they're running around like crazy
people. The best way to youknow, get them out, show them
a little love of basketball. Thenthey're playing hoops in the driveway. Burden
themselves out. This is this isparenting one on one right now. To
take the kids to the Patroons gameon Sunday, and then you know,

(30:30):
by seven thirty they're nice and tired, ready to go to bed. I
got school the next day, soit's a perfect setup. I'm telling you
you're doing you're doing, You're doingGod's work right there, my friend,
I appreciate it. Coach rolling Man, you're the best in good luck at
Jamestown. And then everybody come outand support the team. Take care of
them, will they take care ofthe admirals? Okay, and I look

(30:51):
forward to seeing you guys soon andtalking to you next week. There goes
Coach roland Is. He's the man. The Patruans such a great time.
And again, seriously, I'm notkidding. Three o'clock, that's the perfect
time. You know what, Yourboys are probably waking up with their nap,
one of them, one of them. Mazing. Yeah, namtime stuff
Sunday funny is a great concept.Like I'm glad, shout out to the
Sam, shot out to coach,everybody, like you find those perfect spots

(31:15):
right there on a Sunday and everyonelike we had this discussion two weeks ago
back, like I think the futureis gonna tell people the NCAA tournament,
the championship team was on Monday nineand thirty. People are like, oh,
it's great for ratings. And alsoyou look at the women who played
on a Sunday afternoon, and peopleare gonna look back and be like,
hey, maybe that makes more sensewhen people have more free time and people
could do more things at the familyand have an opportunity. So awesome idea.

(31:37):
Again, allbody Protruding's basketball dot comfor more information on upcoming games.
Support this team. You get tohear from coach and all the great players
more throughout this season. We're sohappy now into our third hour by the
way, if you missed it earlierthis week, we're three hours every day,
happy to have the Patroons on.Hopefully you're right home across the capital
reaching out in the five o'clock hour. Absolutely, I mean just just it's
one of the and to be honestwith Sam Clifford, coach rolling so easy

(31:59):
to work with the synergy of localsports getting better and better and better,
more and more reasons to be outand about in the Capitol region. I
can confidently say this today that thisis the longest you've been in the building,
Like you've been here all day,all day. There's been other days
that I've like intentionally been here allday, like I've come in and set

(32:20):
up because the something like my officewas closed and it was just easier to
work here than to go home.This one was like a come in,
do the mornings, run out,do a couple quick meetings, come back,
do more meetings, then do ashow. Yeah. I would like
to be paid full time, please, and I think I've earned it.
You know you Oh you were here? Oh wait, you weren't here this

(32:40):
morning. I was gonna say thatI was on picks when I was six
with quinnin kants Era. Yeah.The reason I did bring that up not
for you to campaign for a raise. It was because I've been getting roasted
by everybody. You say raised,I say fair compensation. From the sales
team to programming to the area presidentHoward, everybody has said, oh gosh,
wait until you hear what happened onPicks this morning. I have not

(33:01):
heard it. I have not heardany of these cuts. We're having to
close the show. Levac was onPicks one oh six this morning. I
want to know what happened. Iknow there's a sports conversation. I don't
know if the Red Soxs are involved. There's a lot that happened this morning
that we need to get to,and I need to think. I need
to defend myself and maybe a Capitolregion sports fan I have to defend.
I don't know. I mean,very very fair and balanced conversation. I

(33:22):
thought it was. I don't knowwhat they were talking about. I thought
everything went just, you know,no shocking news. Everything led with the
law. We will get to allthat coming up, but first I want
to tell you about our friends overat Lillian David Fine Jewelers located at the
Shops of Wilton. Shout out toAlyssa and David and Tammy and Gee and
everybody. I've worked with all thosepeople. I've built this relationship over years,
and they were the ones who helpedme pop the question, get engaged

done, and you didn't. You'vebeen done it yet here's the problem.
I have a pair of arians.I know she wants. Do I do
it for the birthday? Do Ido it for Mother's Day? I think

Is this a Mother's day gift?Is this a birthday gift? Anniversary?
What's in my budget? How doI do the proposal? What about Weddy?
There are questions like this that reallydo have answers, and you can
work with professionals who have done thisfor a long time who can give you
those answers. Do you trust me, You're about to hear reasons not to
trust me. You trust Alicia,you trust good people like that. Over

(34:49):

what they're listened is Levac. Onesays brackets okay, one says Facebook post,

(36:59):
and one just says goss sucks.So what would you off with here?

Integrated Sleep Center and balls and spotLa fact joined, Quinn can tear brackets
graduations. Quinn want you want thebracket challenge between Jeff Levac from the VACAN

(37:22):

You just walked in like stone cold. Yeah, and so they've got
those great w flavors. Because ofthat, they're making the donation six hundred

(37:43):
bucks to your charity is awesome.How much do I win from the office
pool, because if I might addthat so we can get the vest from
the canine, best place somewhere toit and get something written on the vest.
Talent who runs the office pool.Here is hob nabbing it with Pittman
in New York City back Monday,the biggest possible. Maybe I should have

(38:04):
been nicer to him. WHOA,I did not know that about big als
either, if you remember cocktly likeI went up one side of him and
down the other not too long ago, just because well it's fun. Yeah.
No, So that was just youknow, basically, just get in
there representing us as part of theyou know, part of the show.
Quinn winning not just the public bracketchallenge, not just the levag and guys

(38:27):
Quinn can't terrrabory, but also theoffice pool. Good for Quinn, you
know what. I think he mightbe a secret college basketball fan, right,
No, because nobody they never win. They never win. But no,
so that's I you know, allright, so far, I feel
like, uh, I don't knowwhy I'm being persecuted, you know,
I feel like so far, youknow, obviously, all I'm doing the
only thing I'm doing to make youlook bad, right there is just be

(38:50):
great, I guess, so,but I will ask this after every cut?
Did Zach do the right job?Was there any other content we missed
that could have been insulting? There? Was that the right he pulled?
I mean, I'm sure, Ithink I might. I might bring it
up later, so there might bea chance. I don't know. I
mean the next one, I haveto know me. I'm in the moment.
You know, I'm a creator.I'm sure you want to save God
sucks for the end here? Yeah, we probably say that that's the that's

(39:12):
the Okay, I'm gonna go toFacebook post. What is this? You
know this is because of the postthat I made. Okay, here we
go. You're an emotional guy.We know by reading his Facebook executive for
the you're an executive. I hadto get something off my chest public or

(39:39):
is it just your friends? It'smine? Mine is Here's the worst part
about it. My Facebook is justfor my friends. I made that post
public. Yeah no, I can't. Man. I still so the Firebirds

(39:59):
we kick off on the on Apriltwenty seventh. The League unveiled our uniforms
and it was like so many peoplejust complaining about like what they didn't like
about the uniforms, and then theywere complaining about this, and I just
got to that point where I was, I was having a bad day.
Yeah, I just couldn't take it. I was like, you know what,
listening to you little trolls back intoyour caves, and I just I

(40:21):
just I and again had a badday. I threw back a couple of
ruskies and support some generous rumpleman shots, and I haven't found the breathalyzer at
for the phone. Well, you'vedefended yourself already about that. You didn't
know that though, Did you knowthat that? Because everything is private to
friends, it's not even friends offriends that post I remember. I was

(40:44):
like, you know what, Iwant everyone to see that that was?
That was how just dramatic I wasbeing that night. I think you've recovered
though. I think you feel better. I feel like you're in a better
place now. I feel like youget that off your chest you had,
and two you had all things goingon personally, which we've talked about as
well. So I think I thinkyou're fine. You had a great meeting

(41:06):
today that I was a part offor the firewards. There's awesome things on
the way, So I feel likeyou've recovered since then. But a healthy
embarrassed. I'm not embarrassing. Youknow, I'm a man. I have
feelings. I'm allowed to feel Ijust hadn't eaten him yet that day.
Do you feel like you will haveanother post like that? I feel like
you won't. I feel like you'velearned your lesson. You're not going to
social media to fire off your feelings. Do you know that's the most popular

(41:27):
post I've had on Facebook? Andyou probably since I actually like said I
was coming here. Do not letthe team here know about that because we
had a huge social media meeting todayand if they find out about the engagement
and stuff that happened on that post, they're gonna pull you aside and be
like, we want emotional levent.You just start the number of events I've

(41:50):
hosted where like I'll be walking offthe stage after the first thing, I'll
be like I killed it, goodjob, and the person with hold the
event will be held in like multipledrinks, like I don't need that Levac
this Lovac. How about how aboutone of the best promoters in the area
handing me beers during cage wars,Like that's like, you want to listen
if you want content, if youwant like rubber neck in side of the

(42:10):
road crash content. Just get mefired up and drunk and you'll get and
you'll get what you want. Peoplewill look. I don't know if they
should or want it or be ashamedlater, but they'll look. I hope
we have the Masters conversation and theGod Sucks conversation, because I do think
we need to talk about that part. But the God Sucks, I think

(42:31):
is is what was. I feellike Zach is just looking for all extra
reasons to get me in trouble.So he just grabbed everything he thought was
funny or embarrassing about me. Thisis fifty nine seconds long. It is
fifteen seconds. That's just okay.No, well let's talk about another thing,
all right, fifteen seconds shorter thanyours. So Zach clearly knows he's
making decisions here at Ohffects. Here'sgo Sucks. It's labeled as you guys

(42:52):
go three to six now right,Yes, Fox Sports nine three to six
a bonus hours actually, but nowthat Gods is coming last and two straight
sports challenges and against the three ofus might have to be the back end.
I mean, I don't know Quinncalling himself the sports guy sucks so
much in every pool we do.I mean, it's just I think he's

(43:13):
so like, he's so hot,taky, like he's so old school sports
talk that he's like I still thinkSyracuse at all, they're not even in
it. He is hot, takingcut fast and was like he had the
Giants in the super Bowl before theYeah, super Bowl, Yeah he did.
You're right, you're right, mightthe Giants bill? Yeah? Yeah,

(43:37):
Yet he's also very busy, fellasI think, right, very busy.
He's over there cutting slack. Well, he can't hurt you. You're
over here. He's trying to defendlike a murders. I told you.
That's why Quinn's my emergency contact.Thank you, Quinn. You're the person

(43:57):
I'm taking life advice from. That'swhat I've always said, Quinn. One
person. Also, yeah, like, how are you so bad? Like
you came in last in the NFLBrack, the NFL Challenge, the NCAA
bracket challenge, or you second inthe horses, Yes, thank goodness.
Second, see I've won. Idominated the NFL. I came in second

(44:19):
in the in the bracket, likeyou know, is back starting hurt a
little bit over here? Body youwant to do something. I told you.
I'm like Dan Hurley. Everyone rememberwhen I'm down, because I'm going
for a three peat, even thoughYukon's only won two. And also let's
remember that with the horse racing wagering, one of us has a race named
after them for beating the daylights outof the other one actually wagering. That's

(44:43):
me. So I thought you weregoing to have that day off. I've
just come to find out you willnot only be at that race. I
believe I will have to attend therace this time. Last time there was
a lavac race, I got outof it. This time I won't be
getting out of it. I believe. Did you get out of it or
did you get pushed out of it? Or did I get asked not to
come? Thank you to Quinning Canta. Well, there was there was other
There was a few other quick,oh gosh things that I thought, even

(45:07):
the murderer conversation is they kept askingabout chloroform. I guess in the show
actually, by the way, yeahfor them, yeah, but I guess
like a local like Elvis impersonator,like that's how he got clipped. I
don't know all the details, buthe had some relation to that, they
knew somebody involved in that, Ibelieve as well, probably whoever sold in
the chloroform. And then the thingthat was missed, and I thought this

(45:30):
was something that you and I probablyshould talk about. They asked me who
who's gonna win the Masters? Isaid, how do you go against kuy
Scheffler, to which they reminded methat he is expecting father one of the
reasons you liked him, he said, I guess he's flat outside, baby's
on the way. He's walking away, doesn't care if it's day three and
he's leading, he's walking away,he's going. And I was like,

(45:51):
listen, if you're a good caddy, that phone never gets to him.
I'm saying, listen, if you'reeating the Masters in day three, you're
up, you know, three strokes, whatever the hell it is. And
also the phone starts ringing. Callielooks down. You know, at Saint
Peter's Hospital, boy smail turn itoff. There's no service there. It's

(46:15):
a dead spot. Everybody knows theam entry is a dead spot. I
mean, listen, you gotta yougotta let the guy finish what he's doing.
You're going, You're going, You'releaving the masters, you're having it
happen. You're turning off social mediafor the wagers on them. You don't
want to hear those comments of somebodywho had had you. You go no
matter what you're going see individual sport. I'm with you, okay. But

(46:37):
then they asked me like whatever Iwas, Like, if I was a
quarterback, I was on a baseballteam, if I wasn't a picture where
I think we have. I thinkI think the lovely woman who's blessed me
with this child. And I've hada conversation before, like I can't let
fifty three dudes down just for you. You know, you're one person,
maybe two now you know the mathis in that I gotta stand up for

(47:00):
my team, to which they saidthey thought that they could shame me.
And this is where we this iswhere this is where I think we're I'm
shocked. I haven't actually been calledin the principal's office yet because they said
something to the effect of, youcan't say that anymore. And I'm like,
oh, the broads will forgive me, but you can't. But don't
put don't put you know, Imean on the stage. You don't expect

(47:21):
me to dance. Okay, I'mjust saying, Oh, I think it
was a it was a team sport. And I've had this conversation a couple
of times today. Team sport.I'm there, I'm sorry, I'll come
over after. I'll be there after. It's a team sport. I gotta
take care of what I gotta takeresponssible. Doesn't that kid want me to
be a quitter? It's whole life. Come on, walk away with a
super Bowl. I think not onlydo you have to be there, you

(47:42):
gotta get like a good couple hourwindow to be there. So I'm disagreeing
with you on this. I knowthis is one of your early if I'm
not mistaken, one of your datadiffer This is the generations you, guys.
Your generation just doesn't understand hard work. Then you get in trouble,
in trouble. But that was oneof the first critique criticism you had in
your sports hosting career was Daniel Murphy. I believe it was for the Mets,

(48:04):
right, yeah, but something likethat. That's a long time ago.
I believe it was. I thinkyou had like paternity leave for like
a month or something. I waslike, what are you doing? Oh,
you took a lot out of youthat delivery. You gotta go see
the baby, so Scottie is gonnafinish it off. I got an hour.
What are you doing in that roomhelping your wife or what do you
what do you do? Hands?Cheering her on breathing techniques. I don't
know how are yelled at, screenedat seeing things you should never see.

(48:30):
I was luckily not yelled at duringthe birth of mine too. You weren't
yelled at. Ours was a littledifferent ours. What do you mean you
weren't there? No, No,we had a third hour. Not only
was I there, I was wheeledin a wheelchair. Wait a minute,
why if I never told we're wayover, but we're gonna do it anyways.
So yeah, the birth of Rex, my first child. Uh,

(48:51):
you know, I think I cansay. The place is Bellevue Women Center,
right over here near the station rightDid you fall or something? So
I guess the this is during COVID, and I believe it's still the procedure
that when I got wheeled into thewield in. It's so stupid. When
I got wheeled in, that's theprocedure, Like I went like full breaking
bad costume. I was all like, you know, looking like Walter White,

(49:12):
and I guess in the past dadsmust have passed out. So they
wheeled me in this little five thing. Imagine, my poor wife's gonna get
ready to give birth, all nervous, and all of a sudden she looks
over she sees this little woman wheelingme in. I yell out, Jordan,
I'm in a wheelchair. What isgoing I oh no, it my

(49:36):
flashback to it is akin to thoselike the like Normandy Beach scenes where the
guys in the middle of all hellbreaking loose and he just doesn't know what
to do, and people like comeover here, come over here, and
I'm like, okay, hold this, like it's your wife's like what is
that? That's your daughter? Gotit? The kid comes out, She's

(50:04):
got claws, he got full blackhair, already already asking me for the
car keys. Oh it's ridiculous.I love my daughter. Everything else I
could do without. I'm telling youthis. No, had literally literally had
this conversation with a beautiful woman thatI'm working with to set things up for
the team. I'm like, this, this happened this morning. What do
you think She's like, you haveto be there, and I'm like,

(50:28):
no, why I don't. Idon't add anything like if there's nothing else
going on, sure I'm there.But I mean, you know, look,
man, there might be a cardgame places you gotta be. But
yeah, can Taror called you apastor? I'm dare you hot take her?

(50:50):
Take hot take you, Tommy,Tommy. I feel like that's not
gonna be the last time that's gonnabe said on that He's gonna say it
to you. You know what,we got a few more minutes. Let's
talk about a Mohawk Kanda. Ourfriends over at Mohawk Kanda. We're going
to be there on April eighteenth.Levect did you get that email today,
by the way, about the plansfor this April eighteenth event? It is
awesome. I was so proud readingthis evilk because I know so many people
