Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Same for the top four four withLevac and Guzo. That's right. The
voice is a little choppy, butI'm still here making it happen. Captain.
Let's go. Time for the fourbiggest stories in the world of sports,
brought to you by Mohawk Condor,where they always go out of their
way to please you. Guys.What's the fourth biggest story? I can

(00:20):
confidently say that's one of the weakerones you've everard. Oh, come on,
what the voice is barely hanging out, but you're doing great. Levac
Verba Award finalists have been announced,and New York fans are a bit upset.
They don't like certain things that havehappened. Some note that they might

(00:42):
be using are the most Improved Playerof the Year award. Maybe that could
have been a spot for Jalen Brunson, Kobe White, Tyrese Maxi, leaving
the top candidates there, Maybe thesixth Man of the Year, somebody for
the Knicks could have been in thatspot. Well, it looks like nas
read, Bobby Portis, Malik Monkcould be in that spot. What about
the Coach of the Year award?No, Tom Thibodeaux, No, he's

(01:03):
not listed. There either, Levac, do you have any issues with no
New York Knicks finding their way intothe Big time awards? And also man
in the MVP, No Jalen Brunsonthere either. Yeah, I have an
issue with it, and then Ihave an issue with you because what you
just said was I listened. I'msorry ignorant. It was ignorant. Jalen

(01:27):
Brunst is not the most improved He'sever been bad. Okay, he's an
MVP candidate, He's not a mostimproved player candidate. Timms has got this
team here through injuries and everything elseunder the sun. This is to Canery,
Tom foolergree, this is garbage.This is the league playing favorites again.

(01:47):
It's crap, Coca Dingleberrys and justall around poop is what it is.
I also feel like I didn't dothe best job of the headline there
because some would say, you know, Nicole Jokic might win the mv again,
and he's been nominated for MVP forfour straight seasons and he's won multiple
MVPs. And maybe the biggest headlineis that Victor Webinana, who you and

(02:07):
I have fought about, Well,yeah, we know he has great highlights,
but the Spurs stink and he's puttingup good numbers. There's a chance
the big man might win both Rookieof the Year and Defensive Player of the
Year even though the Spurs stunk.There's a chance Big Wemby wins two awards
in his rookie year. So Iasked, like, og nnobie, great

(02:28):
defensive player. Come on, thisis this is this is this is garbage,
This is nonsense. The league isthe league should be a shame to
itself. You know what, I'vegot no issues with any of them.
I'm fine. Nobody from New York'snominated. I'm good. Heel Tommy Heal
turned now I got another Nick Dame. I hope you're happy. Let's move
on to story number three. Here, it's the Major League Baseball Slay.

(02:51):
The games schedule to go on today, Yankees in some afternoon action, the
A's Blue Jays in Royals Orioles andAngels. The nightcap featuring the Mets in
the Giants, the Boston Red Sox. They're not scheduled to play today.
Well back the next time you're instudio. It's a nice weekend of more
angry Boston Red sockey mass. Alot more females yelling at me this week,

(03:15):
But let's talk about the Mets andthe Giants in this week. That's
true, it's hard to analyze AnA's Yankees Monday afternoon games. So instead
of let's flip it over to MetsGiants. Giants sit a little bit below
five hundred. The Mets trying tofind some footing, but twelve and nine
on the season, Giant team thatthinks they can still compete in the NL

(03:36):
West. How about taking two ofthree against the Dodgers in the most recent
series, Levac. That is somegreat things if you're a New York Met
fan. The Mets look good.I mean, that's a solid roster that's
playing really good baseball. The sadpart for me as I as I look
at it is their starting pitcher better, Like they're starting pitching rotation is better

(04:00):
than the Yake starting pitching rotation.Like like I am I in a world
where we went into the season thinkingthat the Mets stink and they're actually like
on a very core level, they'reactually better. Is that where I'm at?
It's close, it's very closely.I like if there was the overall
rankings or rating system of what itmight be, I would say the arrow's

(04:23):
pointing up for the New York Metsand the arrows pointing down for the Yankees.
It is closer. I won't sayit's better. I wouldn't say I'd
take five on five right now,but yeah, I think the Mets pitching
has been much more improved than peoplerealize. Now you and I are both
saying this after the most recent gamewhere they lost ten nothing and let Otani
break an all time record, passingMatt Sui for Japanese born players. I

(04:47):
know when we're saying that stat Ithink, big picture, yeah, the
Mets pitching has been a little bitbetter than I thought it would be.
So that has been one of thestrengths of this team so far. I'd
be good for them. I meanthe match they're playing really well. But
again, like I think they're theymay have like the shortest uh evaluation,
like like everybody short of them,they they're not They're not terrible and and

(05:11):
the pitching is solid and Pinlazzo's it'sit's a it's a better team that people
give them credit for their proof.Mett's sitting at twelve and nine in the
third place the NL least is probablyabout as good as you could hope for.
For the Mets, obviously you wantfirst place. I get I get
that, But like going in withrealistic expectations the Braves and Phillies being better
teams and how productive a lot ofteams have been. Boy, this is

(05:33):
an interesting series for both franchises too, starting because if the Giants start the
fallback, there is no room inthat West with the Dodgers, with the
Padres, the Diamondbacks of defending.That is a loaded NL West and it
would be the best division in baseballif it wasn't for the Colorado Rockies who
hurt them. As for the Mets, just stick around, staying contention.

(05:56):
See what that pitch you can do, See how far it can take you.
Going forward, We'll move on tostory number Here is the NHL Playoffs.
If you're a fan of hockey,this is your favorite time. It
is a loaded slate tonight, includingthe Stanley Cup defending champion Vegas Golden Knights
taking on the Dallas Stars on theroad. That is gonna be a fantastic
matchup. Also the Kings and theOilers, Islanders and Hurricanes maple Leafs and

(06:20):
Bruins Lavec. I think the focusof course in New York is gonna be
on that Islanders Hurricanes game. Hurricanesup one nothing, even though it's not
the called the upstate New York squad. How much fun would that be if
we see the Islanders make a runhere? I mean, not a lot
of fun. I don't like theIslanders. I don't like most of their

(06:41):
fans. This is Rangers town,my friend, calm down with that.
I mean, the only way they'llbe fun is that the Islanders made a
run just to be sacrificial lambs tothe Rangers. That's the only the only
way I'd like it. But Ithink you can kind of see right there
in game one they're just out oftheir depth. They're not they're not,
they don't, they don't belong.They good year, probably outplayed where you

(07:04):
should have been by a lot.And now you're going up against a real
team, and it's not gonna endwell for you. It's just gonna end
fast for you. I would likethe Islanders to do well. It's good
what New York teams are in contentionand more. I know what you're saying,
though, I think more of thefocus, more of the expectations are
on the Rangers. And it alsofeels like I don't know the third team

(07:27):
in New York truly. I don'tknow if there's any other team in New
York that feels less New York thanthe Islanders, Like the Brooklyn Nets are
in that mix because they're the freshestfranchise. But this is a classic,
like Buffalo, Sarah hues Albany,Rochester versus Downstate. This is a true
story. I'm going to embarras himon the air and hopefully he's not listening
right now. But our guy,Jake Marcus does a great job part of

(07:49):
our sales team here and everything else. He really said to us in a
meetium, most recently, not tohis to his defense, he grew up
in Oregon. He thought Long Islandwas actually its own state. You did,
you fully admitted it were up here. I thought Long Island was a
state. I think that's better thanmost people. Like. I used to

(08:09):
meet people all the time when Iwas younger, and they'd be like,
Oh, you're from Albany. Ohmy god, you're gonna like stab us
like you're from like the the meanstreets of the city. It's like I
would rather somebody thought it was awhole nother state, and then that upstate
New York is just like downstate.Like I would I prefer that, like
I would rather, can we actuallymake it a different state. I think

(08:30):
a lot of people up here wouldagree that we would be behind that.
Uh story Number one here is theNBA Playoffs. So here it is the
Magic and Cavaliers seven o'clock, theLakers, the Nuggets ten o'clock, and
in between that, of course,right here on your home for New York
Knicks basketball, Nick Sixers seven thirtytip off. Our coverage gets away at

(08:52):
seven o'clock. We can talk moreabout it if you missed it the first
hour of the show, Apple,Spotify, the iHeart App. I may
have not done a good enough jobhere the top four four because of what
I did earlier in the show inthe baseball I think some fs are gonna
be mad at me, Levac.Should I have covered the Boone stuff a
little bit more to open that gametoday? Should I have just not passed
over and to know we got afternoonaction for the Yankees and everything else of

(09:13):
what was going on. Because ifyou have more Yankee coverage is better.
But I'm not here to I'm nothere to criticize you. I'm not I
came here to cheery and not toboo yah. For those that might have
missed it, Aaron Boone was ejectedin the first inning of today's Yankees Athletics
game. And it is some greataudio. Now I don't want to play

(09:35):
the audio. I don't because JohnBoy Media and others are known to leave
certain parts of that audio and itis tremendous. I might share it at
w ofx dynati. But according tosome people, and this is probably gonna
be an all databate of what actuallyhappened, there's talks that Aaron Boone actually
didn't say anything, that a fansaid something. The umpire thought Boone said

(09:58):
it, then threw Boone out ofthe game, and Boone lost and he
goes, I got kicked out fornothing. It was an actual fan who
got Aaron Boone thrown out today.And again I feel like, because that
happened right around like one fifteen todayand we're talking around four o'clock, we
may not even get the real detailsof what happened till we signed off at

(10:20):
six. But that's the story.So there you go, Knicks fans.
We talked about you earlier. Justwanted to make sure I cleared it up
in the top four four. Iwent back to it of what was going
on there involving Aaron Boone in thatfirst of me in that asy Yankees game.
You know that, I'm basically inmy corporate cell over here. I
don't. I haven't even put aTV up yet. Bob Elbert, the
general manager of the MVP arena,came in and went, what are we

(10:43):
decorating, and I was like,you're welcome to it, put up whatever
you want. So I don't.I'm like, literally the living, like
this day's sport through you God.So if anyone's to blame it is you,
it's not me. I'm I'm justfree pie. I mean, it's
so stupid, like you would thinkthey would make sure it was him before

(11:03):
they kicked him out. However,you know, Booneye, you you built
your reputation by yelling at and gettingkicked out of games like that's your jam.
The only thing sucks is if itif it wasn't really him, we're
not going to get a Savages inthe box and all that stuff quote come
out of it. Can we findout what the fans said, and if

(11:24):
it's really good, putting it ona T shirt at Lavaggas dot com.
Baby, It's very possible that coulddefinitely happen. So there you go,
Yankee fan, we didn't forget aboutyou or nowhere. About eighty minutes into
the show, here there's the acknowledgment. There you go. So we did
see the Boone stuff, We didsee how the game started today, and
we talked a little bit different stuff. Podcast audience, again, is usually

(11:46):
not effect the radio audience. Weare aware, we're okay sometimes the restrictions
of audio usage in this traditional media. That is pretty epic though. It
was a pretty cool throw. That'spretty good. Oh. I mean again,
like if if you don't have areputation of being that guy, you
probably don't get kicked. But becauseyou have that reputation, some of the

(12:07):
rest are and the msher on areon edge waiting for you to challenge them.
That's why he got kicked, youknow, That's why it was.
But you know is what it is. My friend, he's of all the
people saying things today and yesterday,he's least of my worries. Let's talk
about our friends over at Lillian DavidFine Jeelier's the shops at Wilton. Mother's

date for me. Luckily, guyssaid, you know, no worries,
I got this. I'll cover it. We'll do you use the show from
your office. So, guys,I keep seeing on my my memories without

(14:45):
a year ago, I was postedI was in a bit of a post
war with none other than Antonio Brown. Oh, yes, I do remember
that. Yes, was this thevicI don't want to jump the gun?
Here? Was this the famous Gizziposter? Did that come later? Was
that today? I think that wasa little bit later. Today he posted
something about being an owner and Iwas, and I think I mocked him

(15:07):
for it. I think this one. I wrote back something like, people
call themselves owners, but they can'town their own issues. That was a
great the nice post. Right,there's pretty good. Thank you, thank
you. I liked it all.Right, here's the problem. Have you
seen what he's been up to inrecent history with NFL news? Have you
been able to keep tracking this.Are you talking about CTESPN? Yeah,

(15:31):
yeah, his his air quote brainchild. So remember he was the one he
was the first one to post aboutRussell Wilson to the Steelers, he was
the first one to post about StefanDiggs to the Texans, and now he
is posting that there's a blockbuster tradein the works that would send Justin Herbert

(15:54):
from the Chargers to the Vikings fora hall of draft picks. Are you
asking me do I believe what AntonioBrown is tweeting? Do I think he's
a little legitimate reporter? And shouldwe start following his tweets more? Is
that what you one year after thewar was waged via social media? Is

(16:14):
that the question you're asking me,even though you didn't say that, all
right, I'm asking A. Shouldwe take him seriously now because he's he's
hit two? B? What doyou think of the news and see?
Yeah, and again not. Idon't think it's him. I think he
has people working for him, andone of them has found an inside track

(16:37):
and against some inside information and they'redoing a good job of it, which
is how I can, in mybrain skin around the fact that I have
to give him credit for being righttwice so far. So I don't know
where where do yeah, where doyou stand on this news and the way
he's been breaking it. I wouldsay that in the world and media in
twenty twenty four, you can saya lot of wild things on the Internet

(17:02):
and eventually one of them will beright. I don't know what his percentage
from the field is. Like,if you are a big jane journalist,
you need your percentage. Most wouldsay to be one hundred percent, and
if not one hundred, maybe ninetynine or at least come off as if
you're gonna get it right every singletime. So Antonio bracketweet out whatever he
wants, and if he hits onsome of these people are like, whoa

(17:23):
ctespano? Antonio Brown was the firstto have it, even if he missed
on five other ones. So whateverthe algorithm is that sorts that or whatever,
when we're all busy in the day, that tells us the truth and
the truth of just because something sayssomething on social media or somebody put in
a graphic doesn't necessarily mean it's true. I don't think this is the future

(17:45):
of journalism. That C t ESPNis gonna start scooping Adam Schefter. Do
I think there is someone here?He asked twice? He asked twice.
Is that the only two he's everposted about? Though? And that that's
where it gets like problematic here,where it's like, are we only gonna
assume the ones he posts are alwaysright? Because he could have eight other
ones out there that we don't knowabout that have all missed. I don't

(18:06):
know what Antonio Brown's shooting from thefield here for his investigative reporting, because
he's got other reports out there.God, I don't even like calling using
the word reports about that that.Let's say that might be fiction things he's
just made up about people's personality andwhat they've done in the past and what
they do in their off time andeverything else. So no, dude,

(18:27):
should I believe that Antonio Brown?And we haven't even said what it was
you're talking about? Justin Herbert gettingtraded from the Chargers, right the Blockbuster
deal, Herbert on the way awayfrom the Chargers, Hardball goes after somebody
else. Do I think that's alegitimate thing? Yes, I believe I
said that three days ago. Ibelieve I said that, Like when we
were breaking down our NFL draft andwe were doing a little mock action earlier

(18:48):
earlier this month. Yeah, becausethe Chargers are in such a terrible financial
situation where they basically had to getrid of most of their best players.
They're in a super competitive division inthe West, that they went all in
the former GM, the former coach, they went full all in and said,
Okay, we're either gonna win rightnow or get fired. Boy.
Whoever comes in after us is gonnahave an awful situation to handle. They

(19:10):
didn't win. They have an awfulsituation for the Chargers so financially and for
because of Harbaugh being maybe having alot more power than a real I do
think it's a legitimate thing. Ibelieve Justin Herbert will be one of the
two most talked about players in theNFL Draft. I believe he will be
one of the most two talked aboutof potential players getting traded this Thursday.

(19:33):
There's another one out there, ButI will, I will. I don't
want to say I agree with AntonioBrown. I think there was some truth
to his reporting on this one.Gross well, I mean, I mean,
that's that's the thing is, likeyou you can hate you hate the
source, but like, at somepoint we have to take him seriously,

(19:56):
Dewey and Dewey with think the accountseriously. How's that? Okay, it's
still depressing. He's still he's stillhas comeback. He's still writing stuff about
Kayln Clark and everything else. Butthe only thing he's gotten wrong so for
is when he posted himself in aRavens uniform. That was very wrong.

(20:18):
So I mean, so that beingthe case, like when you look at
it, you kind of like,I mean, at some point I gotta
start looking at when he writes crazystuff because again I thought I thought a
lot of it was too crazy tobe real, and now look at it,
it's insane. It's it's been somuch fun to deal with that.
Oh my god, I'm gonna lookat our helmets for the first time.
God, you can see if otherpeople came in. Oh man, so

(20:40):
many Capital regions sports fans gonna befired up seeing that helmet. Wow,
that's sick. That's you can see, Like you're gonna bring a whole uniform
together. It's gonna be insane.Yeah, we got so every everything's coming
together for us over here. Butstill you got the to have have to
take Antonio Brown even remotely serious iskilling me. I would not get He's

(21:00):
been right. So you you believein that the Justin Herbert trade, I
think it makes sense, I thinkfor the franchise. So I think I
like Justin Herbert. You know that. I think just Herbert is awesome.
I think he's fantastic. But hedidn't draft him, he didn't give him
the contract. They haven't won withhim. Like those three alone should be
at reason as to Okay, well, the head coach doesn't want this quarterback.

(21:22):
They haven't won with him, andwe pay him a ton of money
and there might be another franchise outthere that wants him a lot more.
What would you rather do? Havea proven commodity in Justin Herbert or rolled
the dice with a quarterback that you'renot quite sure about? Like, well,
just so I believe the Vikings wasthe team, right? Isn't the
Vikings the team? He reported on? Yeah? Yep, yep. The
Vikings both their first round picks,their left tackle. I mean it's I

(21:45):
mean, like I said, it'sif he is like this, is there
a chance that's that Antonio Brewn putenough money or at least pledged enough money,
they'll never pay behind. Some decentreporters were working on the CTESPN and
they're getting it done. And thenand then there's this Chargers thing real and
is this gonna be the blockbuster trainof the day on Thursday? All Right,

(22:07):
So that's a lot there. I'llgo with, Uh, is Antonio
Brown paying people to have really goodsources and are reporting. I don't know
if that's even a thing that like, I truly, as a media member,
I should know the answer that questionyou just asked. But I don't
know if that's a thing where someone'sbetter than Schefter or Jake Glazer or somebody
else. If there was a servicethat someone could pay for to be better

(22:30):
than the best professional reporters at theircraft, then I think a lot of
media members, who are especially young, would pay for that service. I
don't know if it exists. Goodfor them. I had no idea that
was a thing. God imagine weknew that service existed. We don't have
a lot of scoops on this show. Tommy Corporate, we's goring to pull
some more strings. Uh to theVikings idea, That's what scares me,

(22:51):
is the terminall use this time itactually fits here that that makes too much
sense, because what is what thehell's Minnesota doing? So we all know
if we looked at the NFL rightnow, before we went into the NFL
Draft, of the team you wouldthink will be the worst team in the
NFL in twenty twenty four. Sothis usually happens. Go to the draft,
though, Okay, this franchise isrebuilding. We think this team's gonna

(23:12):
be the worst team in the league. We'll see what happens. Houston and
Arizona going into the twenty twenty threeseason were perceived to be the worst teams
in the NFL that season. Chicagowas in that mix of the season before
Arizona wasn't the worst team in theNFL. Carolina was the worst team in
the NFL. But Chicago has theirpick. Minnesota is the worst team in

(23:33):
the NFL right now, so weall know they're the worst. We all
know they need a quarterback. Theyhaven't made a move. What are we
missing? Is it just bad luckthat they're sitting there down at eleven?
Are they eyeing up another quarterback?The idea that it's Minnesota makes a ton
of sense because they have been sounactive, inactive, Yeah, inactive,

(23:53):
inactive this offseason. So yeah,Minnesota makes sense. Herbert makes sense.
I don't like it, but it'sHerbert is gonna be the most talked about
non rookie on Thursday, right?Is there anybody else, like, who
else could be moving in a bigtrade this weekday? You're like, okay,
Like I keep thinking about the Jetsbecause the Jets love to make or
Daniel Jones loves to make headlines.If there's somebody else out there that like

(24:17):
I even feel like I said itwasn't Herbert, but I think the answer
is Herbert, that he'd be themost likely guy to be on the move.
And yeah, I mean when youand when you factor in the harball
you know, Spranklin a little crazyfrom Harbaugh. We know he likes JJ
McCarthy. You get you don't payfor the quarterback, which but it would
be funny consider the fact that oneof the things he said when he took

(24:40):
the gig was how excited he wasto coach Justin Herbert, how excited he
was if that was one of thereasons he was coming here. So like,
but besides Herbert, who else isa bigger name? Story? Going
down on draft Day. I Ithink he's got to be it, especially
if he goes. I mean,you, you've always been a bigger Herbert
fan than I am. Like,I love that he's got fancy football stats.

(25:02):
But you know, as I sithere in the office for the Albney
Firebirds, the only step that reallymatters is a W. So he doesn't
have enough of those, absolutely doesn't. It feels like he has the modern
day Philip Rivers. It feels likethat, But Philip Rivers. The only
reason that even hesitate on that,it says Philip Rivers has gone so much

(25:22):
longer in his career, you knowwhat I mean, like the Rivers,
what sixteen seventeen seasons? And evenlike the Rivers Herbert comparison, Hey,
really good quarterback who put up greatstats who didn't win a lot, like
Dan Fouts could be in that sameconversation too. So when you have Dan
Fouts, when you have Rivers,when you have Herbert, that seems like

(25:44):
an organizational thing, that seems likea franchise thing than anything else. But
yes, I cannot believe that AntonioBrown is the one who's suggesting the Herbert
trade may happen and if that tradedoes happen, all the questions he let
off this segment talking about of dowe have to take it? Seer,
is it gonna happen? How ishe gonna break the algorithm? Is he
a real reporter? God, Idon't want to say yes to all those

(26:07):
things. Well, the only thingyou have to realize, like, even
if you want to say yes allthose things, just know that he's never
gonna pay these people so sooner orlater, even if they do build up,
they're gonna have to step out fromunderneath his craft if they want to
make money on their own, becausehe's not he. I mean, listen,
he's still running around a couple milliondollars of stolen jewelry. Two he
is to what he does, liketoday, every time there was a question

(26:27):
of where something was, where likedo you think he took it? So
don't remember it's it's a short termsuffering if we do admit it is what
I'm going with. At least that'swhat I'm telling myself. No, don't
let it happen. But I meanthat anybody who's covering the draft, that's

(26:48):
the trade you want, right,that's the like you're hoping for that trade
because it is exciting and then butnow I'm hoping it doesn't happen because that
means that I have to give creditwhere I've never ever won on it to
give credit in one million years.Gods, but it's welcome to twenty twenty
four. It's a weird world welive in, my friend. I think
the people who are hoping that tradedoesn't happen are Packer fans, Lion fans,

(27:12):
Bears fans, everybody else probably,Yeah, besides those ye on two
or three fan bases. Yeah.I mean, I wouldn't mind it too
much as a Raiders fan because itmeans that the Chargers starting over, right,
So I just I don't like theidea of Harball having a war chest
full of draft picks, but youknow it is. It's an interesting way

a it's a weird Monday. Youknow I didn't tell you this yet,

(29:07):
Guys, I probably should have calledyou. I apologize. Took the kids
the brunch up at the Hideaway yesterday. Oh what the heck? Man?
Hey, your depth? Well,you know what, I was traveling in
from out of town, so Iprobably I knew that. That's right.
The wife and maybe maybe the boyswould have gone, but uh, yeah,
I was traveling. How was itwe miss our friends out there at
the Hideaway? Dude, it's awesome. Everybody was there except for Chad.

(29:29):
Everybody but Chad was there. Itwas It was a lot of fun.
They have a new thing call thewaffle Stack, which was phenomenal. And
of course, you know, Idid us justice. I had the big
plugging Mary for us, you know, in your honor, I drank that.
But it was just cool. Itwas a good time. The kids
hadn't been there before for a brunch, so they were like pretty blown away.
It was nice. Shout out tothe Hideaway. Love that spot.

(29:52):
Only always great things going on overthere. You know, it's been too
long. The people galloping all overthe place, man, like, it's
it's getting there. We're gonna startswinging those clubs. I don't think they
need to see that out there.I think real real golfers skills need to
be speaking the clubs. We knowwhere we're gone. It doesn't stop you
from playing basketball or a million otherthings that you look awkward as all hell,

(30:15):
But you won't swing a golf clubfor my music. Come on,
man, be a good friend.I will. Uh. You know what
if we can figure out something withour wonderful sales team and sponsorships and everything
else. I love their Wide Worldof Sports tournament that's usually in the summer,
right around mid to early July.Maybe that's the next time. I
think that's the last time you andI picked up clubs. Maybe you've played
since then since I have I thinkthat was the last one. Our Taps

(30:37):
and Tea is one of the two. That was my first. I have
an executive I do I have toplay? It's I have no true I'm
exactly if I have to the presidentialduties you have? Yes, yes,
duties. Did you see pe Rosewhat he has done? Now? No?
I love dude. I don't knowif there's ever been anybody that has
won me over stronger than Pete Rosedid. Like when we met him,

(31:02):
I went into that conversation on thisguy cheated on baseball I don't care.
I don't have anything to do aboutit. And then I walked away,
going I love that guy. Hewas honest, he was funny, he
told a great story. He wasyou know, he called us more names
than that I can't say on theradio that anyone ever has, but it
was awesome. I loved it.Now he is he was at a baseball

(31:23):
he was at a card convention andsigning autographs for some sports group, and
he signed three different ways. Onewas sorry, I bet on Baseball,
signed Pete Rose, one was Otaniis sorry, also Pete Rose, and
the final one was I wish Ihad an interpreter Pete Rose. So making

(31:52):
bank and mocking your enemies, Ithink is the greatest. It's just the
Pete Rose story that should be thename of the book. Making bank and
mocking your enemies, like it's it. It's gotta be like. I love
that. I'm sorry, I beton Baseball. There's no more nonsense,
it's no more I didn't do it. I love that. He's like,
not gonna let you forget the show. Heyo town. He most likely did

(32:14):
some way, shape or form beton Baseball, and then again just to
throw in the interpreter thing. It'sit had me laughing, man, And
I really I want the I wantI think I want the I'm sorry,
I bet on baseball one. Ithink that's one I want the most.
No you don't, no, No, here's why, and maybe I have.
I like the first I like thesecond two. I like the second

(32:37):
two much more than I like thefirst one. If my and I'm gonna
double check myself right now on this, I want to make sure I get
this right. Yes, okay,I was right. Okay. So I
remember when I was in high schoolthat we were you know, he had
like the classic high school projects.So like one of mine was like,
I want to do a story onPete Rose. So I'm like, you
know what, there's probably enough hereand I'm like a young media kid,

(32:59):
and I want to learn about Petewas blah blah blah. He came out
with a book in January of fourthat was called My Prison Without Bars.
So for those who don't remember thatbook from twenty years ago, that book
is the one book where he finallyadmitted to betting on baseball and finally admitted
to playing you know a coaching managerMets or eccually be Reds Reds and all

(33:21):
that stuff. He probably did beton the Mets at some point, but
he finally admitted it. Okay,So Pete Rose waited all this time,
and then when he could profit offof a book is when he said,
oh, no, no, no, now I'll admit it. And the
reason I'm rubbed wrong by the Tshirt is, sorry, I bet on
baseball. I remember, I betsomebody can still find this. After the

(33:42):
book came out No. Four,he sold the book on the Pete Rose
website and also sold T shirts thatsaid sorry, I bet on baseball for
twenty bucks. It's like, oh, that feels so dirty where it's like,
not only did you lie for decades, but the reason you decided to
tell the truth finally was to makemoney. And then, not only did

(34:05):
you make a mistake that cost yourselfthe Hall of Fame, he could have
really affected the careers of people ofhow you could have handled that. You
then doubled down and said, letme sell a T shirt. Sorry I
bet on baseball. Now that's whythe first one rubs me the wrong way.
The second two are just being funny, Like he's being snarky and funny
and he's trying to have a business, probably potentially where it's like, hey,

(34:29):
I'll you pay me fifty more bucksand I'll write the funny hippy thing.
You pay me one hundred more bucksand I'll do oh tani Like it
feels a little bit like twitch AndI hope someone got that reference talking about
Pete Rose, where it's like,hey, if you throw enough money at
me, I will do a trick. I will do something stupid. So,
uh, is it funny? Yes? Is it slimy and dirty and

(34:52):
taste weird? Yeah? I thinkyou have both be the answer here for
Pete Rose. Yeah, I listen. I'm not going to pretend that it's
that it's it's not at least alittle unscrupulous. But at the same time,
like he remember when I asked him, I go, why'd youly?

(35:13):
He goes. I don't remember theexact vermans, but I'm pretty sure it
was something similar to you ever youever had a million dollars? I was
like, no, he goes,I did, and I didn't want to
give it up like I was.And I get that, And you don't
recover from that right away. Ifthis is how he makes money, if
you want to pay for it,so be it. You're you're you're radio
icon. Bob Wolf when he wasthe mornings On Picks used to send people

(35:37):
to him with roulette wheels and playerscards and everything else to like, hey,
sign this, to see if hewould admit depending on baseball and when
he signed those items, so likepeople people have been trying to take advantage
of him with this, He's justtaking advantage of it back. And if
I'm major League Baseball and I'm lookingfor an apology, well there it is.

(35:58):
It's everywhere. I don't know,you know, I don't know who
paid for what, but it's thatapology is now everywhere. Congratulations, you
got it? Was Bob Wolf justcalled my radio icon? Did I are
my headphones? Okay? Was that? I did get your point you were
trying to make? Though, Yes, I do understand you. You love
him, you talk about it allthe time. I do reference him a
lot, I do. But yes, do I think Pete Rose is funny?

(36:21):
Yeah? He I think we haveto admit both can be true.
He is very much sleazy. Iguess it's the right term when it comes
to making money and benefiting from it. I'm gonna sound really mean when I
say this, but I think you'regonna know what I mean by this,
Livac. I question the education ofPete Rose, and I think he would
admit that, Like he is notan Ivy League graduate, he is Okay,

(36:45):
I think with those decisions that he'smaked. I think he can live
with himself because the check cleared andall those things. You can be sleezy
and still make money. I mean, I think there was at one point
Pete Rose, of all the Hallof Fame that would be at Cooperstown,
nobody signed more autographs than Pete Rose. Like he just said, Okay,

(37:05):
this is what I'm doing to makemoney for the rest of my life.
Yeah. Absolutely, And it wasalways off scene. It was always he
always was forced to do it,you know, on his own, like
he like he couldn't be with everyoneelse. So like, no, no,
like I'm not trying to justify everything. I'm just saying that the dude
won me over. And now,like I want that baseball. I don't

(37:30):
want to pay for that baseball.I'm very poor, but I want that.
I want I want it. Ithink it's cool. I think,
like I love the and you know, I've never been a few full blown
a Tani fan for a couple ofreasons, but like to have this where
I can, you know, kindof like continue to like Pete Rose,

(37:52):
take another shot at Otani and havesomething cool memorabiliy wise. I'm into it.
I dig it, but know that'shey, maybe that's just me.
You know, you don't have todo it all right. What you do
have to do is give me aplay of the day, because it is
time for the play of the day, which is brought to you by our
good friends e Mala chevrelake together,let's drive at balk Chevy, where they

(38:12):
always go out of their way toplease you. I've been getting slaughtered on
everything not hockey, and don't Idon't even like the idea that hockey's been
the one benefiting for me. LikeI hit the I've gone two and oh,
and the Carlo can check me onthis. I've gone two and oh.
I hit the Avalanche oilers under,and I hit that over in the
Coyotes game. So I continue tohit on hockey. So the fact that

(38:35):
I got a little winning street goinghere, I guess I gotta go back
to it on this one. Iwant to take the Islander's money line I
think that would be a lot offun tonight. You know what, here's
what we're gonna do. We're gonnago with the Islander's money line tonight.
The Islanders even up the series tonightagainst the Carolina Hurricanes. They're gonna go
off it plus one ninety five andover under a five and a half total
goals in that one. Let's seeit happen. Give me plus one ninety

(39:00):
five Islanders over Hurricane steven up theseries tonight, seven thirty puck drop.
I like it. I like it. I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do
nix money line together with over theirpoints Jalen Brunson over thirty and a half,

(39:21):
d'Arte DiVincenzo over fifteen and a half. So it's plus three to twenty
one. That's what I'm doing becauseI think that they both bounce back.
I think they both had rough games, survived advanced, and now they both
bounce back and both perform well.And even though I I the Knick serlane
six, I'll just go money linethat way. I'll do the three,

(39:43):
so minus two forty. I needthe three to cash, but I feel
good about it. It's the Knicksplayoff parlay is what I got for you
tonight on my pick. Okay,the Knicks playoff parlay rather than the pinstright
parlay because, as we mentioned,the Yankees not so much Aaron Boone as
he left that game even though hewasn't really it was of his fault.
No, pins are partly you don'tknow you could throw his voice. How

(40:06):
do you feel about the New Yorkparlay? I feel like I keep asking
you about this, but it keepscoming, popping back up and popping back
up. Can we get another updatehere on the New York parlay? That's
above everything right now for you?Excuse me, I just got excited.
Yes, So now, if youthink about it, right, I need
I need sixteen wins in the nextsixteen wins from the Rangers the Yankees then

(40:28):
to make it another sixteen wins,so I'm down to thirty wins between the
Knicks and the Rangers right now tohave this thing pay out, which means
the cash out has gone up.The cash out is now what I did
it at, so eighteen sixty four. It's now eighteen sixty four on the
cash out, so they've now respectedme enough to make it even money.

(40:49):
But obviously at this moment. Hold, hold, can you imagine if the
Knicks or the Rangers win the championship, Like, this thing's gonna go up
into the thousands, it's gonna beI don't know. I hope it gets
something in the thousands for you.I don't know if it'll get that high,
that would be awesome. Like ifthe Rangers get to the Stanley Cup.
In the Knicks, they're gonna offeryou a nice payout, probably two

(41:10):
thirds of what you invested, twothirds of with the payouts should be should
say two thirds of with a payoutcould be. I want to make sure
I give this warning to you becauseI just watched this happen over the weekend
and I know you can handle it, but maybe you listening right now need
this advice. Let's say you havemultiple future wagers or multiple parlays. Anything

(41:30):
could be going on on your phone, anything could be going on in your
pocket. However you do it,be careful with this mistake that was made
by my friend Darren over the weekend. So my buddy Darren had a twenty
eight to one four leg parlay goingand he was offered a cash out.
Now, when he was offered thecash out. The cash out was a

(41:50):
ten to one payout, but rightunderneath that saying bet, the math equaled
out to the cash out. Soin other words, if he hit the
wrong button, he would have gotthe same amount of money. So in
his mind, he thought he wascashing out the parlay, but instead he
was cashing out his bet from before. Oh oh wow. So he's like,

(42:14):
oh man, look at this.I just cashed out. They offered
me x amount of money and Ijust kicked them un And like, oh,
you know, it's a pretty goodcash out. Ten to one.
You won, you profited. That'sgreat. No, that's not what happened.
What happened was he didn't look.He cashed out the wrong bet,
but he still hit the parlay,so it ended up paying from twenty eight
to twenty and he was thirty fourto one. So he was having a

(42:36):
He was thrilled that weekend. Butyes, please be very careful what button
you actually hit for cash out.There is no glitches in these systems.
There are no glitches. As muchas I thought he might have had a
glitch, they don't happen. Okay, these apps don't make me sneak up?
Was he a little boozed up.Yes, very yeah, so don't

(42:58):
drink a bet. It's bad foryou. You know, I do it.
But I'm a trained professional, soit's okay. But no, I
like what I mean. I'm Iwant to believe that my my All New
York Championship can work. But I'ma little nervous. I think if if
I somehow I'm able to get Nicksand Rangers both to win, and then
the Yankees go on a run,it might be hard for me not to

(43:20):
cash out. It might be itmight be difficult. Now I'm trying to
do the math for you. Wewill re We're gonna have a whole segment
dedicated to this in the future ifthat happens. What's the perfect math and
needed for you to profit the most? Right now? It's plus right now,
so it's plus two hundred and fiftynine one hundred. That's the plus.

(43:42):
So so I mean, well,you know it's like five grand.
If it's like Disney money, Igotta like take it right at some point,
do this for me. If itgets to that high, you'll buy
another ride for me from mohw Kan. You already have your deal, mohawkan
I love mohawkan It. If itgets high up, I'm buying myself a

(44:02):
ride from someone I don't know.You you just find keep working that great
deal you've already got with mohawkan Allright, well, I think it will
surprise people the prices that you canget vehicles out in mohawkan As. So

the staff there in mohawk Kana willwork with you to find the vehicle
