Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Nine. Fact, it's time forthe Top four four with Levac and Guzur.
So we're not gonna just do five. All right, it's another station.
Sounds familiar to me though. Allright, time for the top four
four to four biggest stories in theworld, the sports brought you by Mohawk

(00:22):
Honor, where they always go outof the way to please you. Guys.
What's number four? This isn't onthe list, but I will make
it story five. A programming reminder, Levac and guz is now three hours
long, So this is not thefinal hour of the show. From now
until they tell us we can't threeto six weekdays here on Fox Sports ninety
five night. This crap couldn't getany worse. Thank you, every buddy.

(00:45):
Three hours starting today, podcast audience, hour three. We're gonna do
something special. Just no full show. On the podcast side, it is
hour three. Are's just here,not no like when you download it.
The first thing we'll our don't confuseme. I'm abused. I'm trying to
understand what you're talking about. Usuallyon the podcast side it'll say our what

(01:08):
hour two full show? Okay,I'm gonna make it, I think easier.
We're gonna see how the new podcastalways consumes this hour, one hour,
two hour three. We're gonna seewhat people like the best and no
full show just today, and thenI'll probably do it smart six oh five
Martin Lindsay, Let's Yankees at sixoh five, Mets Braves seven twenty.

(01:30):
Think about that. Hmm interesting.Uh those two teams are in action.
Boston Red Sox nowhere to be found. I don't have any Red Sox angry
emails to go through as well.You get some text message, I'm not
gonna read those Astros Rangers at eighto'clock, Levac. I think the focus
tonight, even though people love,of course the Yankees might be on the
Mets and Braves. This is agood test for the Mets to see where

(01:52):
they stack up when it comes tothe best in the NL East. All
right, hold on, no,you can't do that. Can't do that.
What do you mean, because look, we're just trying to We're just
trying to get him, get himright, you know what I mean?
At this point, the Mets justtrying to get right. Once you get
right, then we start stacking upagainst the best of this or that and
the other thing. You got toyou got three wins so far, three

(02:15):
and six. You don't get youdon't get to play the stack up against
the rest of the league. Team. You have to go out and get
every w you can get, especiallyagainst the Braves. Okay, you don't
get the stack up question until you'rein the hunts. Once you get in
the hunts, we'll stack up,all right, all right, go beat
those Braves. That's what you gottado. I'm rooting for you, Mets
fans. I want to see youguys competitive. I want to see you
good, Met Fan. I don'tknow if it's just spending more time with

(02:38):
Junior. I don't know if it'syour text with our panel Charlie Volker.
I know if it's Mike Susa whodecided to take the day out to day's
the big Met fan. I knowhe's not watching the Eclipse somewhere, of
course it is. It feels likeMet fan is already ready to give up
on the season, but there's stillsome real good talent on the team.
It feels like they're ready to punton the season. Wins over really good
teams like Atlanta can help change theculture around the team. Maybe the fan

(03:00):
base more so Julio teher on theseyou know, maybe he goes out there
and has a nice outing for you. He's rolling story number three. We
can bind two of the major professionalsports leagues for this two games on the
ice tonight, Basketball no No,the Penguins take on the Maple Leafs at
seven o'clock, while by the NIGHTCAFfeaturing the Vancouver Canucks and Vegas Golden Knights.

(03:22):
Golden Knights reigning defending Stanley Cup championsthe Maple Leafs. Maybe they'll break
that curse. Pittsburgh not doing aswell as they hope, Canucks could be
a contender. So three of thosefour teams really truly Stanley Cup contenders.
Now you'd wonder, well, whatabout the NBA action. No NBA games
scheduled for tonight because of the collegebasketball and see Double Lake Tournament. We'll

(03:43):
get to that, I promise,uh Levac, What do you make of
that? I believe that's a schedulingon purpose, moved by the NBA to
have the spot let go on thecollege game. I like it. I
think that I think it's one ona couple levels. I think it's good
to support your you know, yourfeet there the system that feeds your system.
But I also think it's you know, listen, I would be watching

(04:04):
more of the National Championship than aregular NBA game. These NBA games,
especially now you're later in the season, most teams have what four or five
games left. Nobody's you know youof course you care, you want to
see them, But at the sametime, this is a one and done.
You win this game. The onlymust win tonight right now is the
men's National Championship game. That's it. You cont perdue. I kind of

(04:28):
like the awareness level. I likepeople being like, Okay, people are
gonna tune into this, we're out, We're gonna take a pass baseball.
As much as people want to trashBaseball about decisions they make business wise and
marketing wise, they intentionally schedule theWorld Series games to avoid NFL games they
get out of the way. They'relike, we're gonna get crushed rating wise,

(04:48):
Let's find the windows where we cando this on a Tuesday and Wednesday
where we're likely to have more viewersthan a Sunday or a Thursday. So
I like the awareness level. Ithink it's just smart and good for the
NBA. I know who you couldtake and don't give up, you know,
ratings of games to a better productof this moment. Yes, that's
right, I'll move on a startN or two. We can dive deeper

(05:09):
into this in this hour, maybethe five o'clock hour. We can do
a lot. Now we have alittle bit more flexibility. And that's the
news involving Hall of Fame basketball coachJohn Caliperry leaving Kentucky. Now he's not
retiring. According to reports, he'sfinal lines in a five year deal to
become the next head basketball coach atArkansas. How is this happening? Why

(05:30):
is he leaving Kentucky? We haveall those storylines sitting there, But fact,
let's just go with the first instinct. When you heard that John Caliperry
was leaving Kentucky for Arkansas, yourfirst reaction was, what, how many
fins are coming for Kentucky right now? How many scholarships do they have to
give up? It's just weird,It's it feels it's not a lateral move

(05:56):
because Arkansas is not on Kentucky's levelwhen it comes to the world of college
hoops. Kentucky is literally a blueblood and the one of the absolute best
for him to leave there and goto a school that doesn't have much of
a basketball program. It's he usedto be a football school now I don't
know what it is, but itdoesn't make a lot of sense. Think

(06:17):
about this for cal Perry when youthink about the numbers that he's done since
he got the Kentucky in O ninenational championship with Anthony Davis, Michael kid
Gillichris and that team. In twentytwelve, four final fours he's gone to
with Kentucky, including the teams thatdidn't get there. How about two elite
eights to that mix. So abouthalf of those seasons they're truly national championship

(06:39):
contenders. But the two upsets,most recently Oakland and Saint Peter stick out
some people maybe cal Perry was justdone, you know, like the expectations
are so outrageous, Like I guaranteeme just reading that up here, were
like, whoa, it was prettygood. If people think he did well
a Kentucky, I don't know,depends on what team you root for.
No, I mean, yeah,but he got there was so much abuse

(07:00):
this year I can kind of understand, like just like even you were like,
dude, they're not gonna play adefense the outscore everybody. They'll be
fine. But that he was.He was received so negatively this season.
I understand him leaving. It's wherehe went. It made no sense to
me. You I'm trying to fillall you want to take last week where

(07:23):
he said, sometimes it's about wheredo you feel appreciated? Yeah, when
you go through offers like Arkansas wantedhim that there's stories about chicken nugget empires
and nil deals and billionaires and relationship. Arkansas is gonna be thrilled. Kentucky's
thrilled to get a new coach.How maybe it's just time to go your
separate ways. It's just a blockbusterto hear at coaches leaving for another job

(07:44):
for this and how all the piecesfell from USC to SMU, everybody else
involved, how it came together everyDare you know story number one? We
mentioned it already. So that's themen's National championship game Purdue Yukhon. We're
still riding with that nine to twentytipoff. Huh. I thought last year
was gonna be the last one thatwe got out with the Yukon in San

(08:05):
Diego State. I'm sure he couldplay back the show from last year on
the podcast side and be like,oh gos complaining about that? Did he
do his final four seats? Orbad take yet again? Or no,
all right, I'll do it rightnow. It's a bad sporting event.
I wouldn't want to go to it. But Purduing Yukon's an awesome game.
It's been a watson. We've seentruly the two best teams in college basketball
playing the national championship Baylor gon Zagamost recently, but after that, it's

(08:26):
hard to find those examples. MaybeKansas Kentucky probably was one in twenty twelve.
Here we are, our coverage getsunderway. It's seven thirty tonight.
You're home for the final four ofthe NCAA tournament. Now tonight's national champions
have two hour pre show. That'sright, wow, two hour pre game.
We had three hours on the weekend. Thank you to our sales team.
Nice job, well done. Longerpregames. That means we're all doing

(08:48):
well. Well Back Purdue Yukon,and you think about this matchup, this
national championship camp do we have potentiallythis is a play of the day for
you coming up later this hour,which still sticks at four forty five.
You though we're three hours now.Yeah, I'm sure I'll pepper them in.
I think you have to because ofhow big this game is, how
exciting it is, the fact thatI picked Yukon from the beginning like most

(09:09):
of the choc lovers. So I'lldefinitely have something on the ill the the
old Huskies here, I think.But I'm all nervous. This game has
got some matchup problems. It shouldbe a lot of fun. I did.
I did curse the Big Ten beforethe season started, and now look
you's Purdue waving at me, going, hey, membos we Memba. So

(09:31):
I know you picked a Yukon.I hope I told you this before the
brackets even came out. And thisis me being stubborn and selfish and everything
else. I wanted them to loseso bad. I was willing to root
for my bracket and hopes that Yukonwould lose, even though my mind was
telling me this team is so dominantcompared to everybody else. As a Syracuse
basketball fan, to watch Yukon dominatein twenty twenty three hurt. This one

(09:56):
bothers me more because they've been moredominant. You know, old ghazi Bear
had a big old bet on Bamathis weekend to cover. You figure out
in your minds whatever you consider abig bet is for me on Alabama to
cover. Spoiler alert, they didnot cover. But thank you to Aaron
Judge and Vlad Junior who hit thattwenty four to one home run parlay I
played else it could have been arough night for me. Nonetheless, Yukona

(10:20):
Purdue, I hope I can beas optimistic as you are about the boiler
Makers keeping this close. But rememberthis line kind of sits in that same
spot the scene you go state Lineset it last year, and Yukon dominated
from a start to finish. MaybeDan Hurley's got one foot out the door
for Kentucky, even though Yukon's reallya blue blood. I don't know why
they'd won him. Billy Donovan wouldbe the coach i'd consider for Kentucky,

(10:45):
if that's possible. All right,I mean, look, I have no
idea what to think because we areagain. I didn't expect them to step
down to a lower level. Buthere he is, and now we're gonna
do all that whole song and dance. And meanwhile, if I'm purdueing you
kind of probably said ever going,hey, Calipar, are you gonna wait
a day? Yeah? Yeah,probably what we do to you? Huh,

(11:07):
I mean sure we ran out ofthe gym. That does mean I
do this. That's speed up theportals, speed up the recruiting. So
we're talking about people changing jobs,new areas, new ways to get people.

was the eclipse really talks enough tobe rude to you? Man? Come
on, but it reminded me ofit actually kind of took me back to

(18:32):
Friday night. And we're gonna talksome hoops and stuff in a second.
But the setup for Cage Wars wasamazing at River's Casino. Let's talk a
little bit about this fact. Becauseyou were on the call. I really
haven't had an opportunity to talk toyou about how you felt your broadcasting debut.
In some ways, we call itthat. Did you watch any of
it? Or did you just ohyou didn't watch it? You suck man?

(18:52):
Come on, now, how DareYou? Card was awesome. I
want to start there. The cardwas. And this isn't because I was
there, Because you know me,I'd be more than happy to be like,
dude that sucked like I would,I'd be all over it. But
it was. It was. Therewas a interesting decision in the third match,

(19:12):
and there was a couple other thingsthat happened throughout the night, but
like you saw some real talent comeout there, and it was it was
fun to watch person. Somebody,We're gonna keep an eye on this.
This dude. He is a StephenPersad. Everybody thought he was gonna be
just fed up to rich Lang.Just Rich Lang was good because he's long
and every and persadon didn't look athim. Know, he had that wrestler

(19:34):
build, like he's a big dude. He's sitting there looking he's talking to
his guys. He's done. Theythey all right, we're about to we're
aout to ring the bell. Heturns around. Are we gonna post to
his hand and we're gonna shake hands? He goes yeah, okay, then
he just starts staring at Lang.Comes out, Lang tries to throw a
few punches, can't Persad grabs him, scoops him in, dumps them,

(19:56):
proceeds to just kind of lay onhim and punch him what he feels like.
That's how all three rounds went.And Lane's real fight that kid.
He's got a belt now. Hecame and said thanks to me. I
guess people said I said nice thingsabout him on the broadcast. What was
I gonna say wrong? I meanthere was some there was some really really
good fights, but it was itwas a lot of fun. I will
say as far as my broadcast abilitieswent, You've seen this happen to me

(20:21):
in the past. I never knowwhich Jeff Levac people want, Like do
you want the guy who knows alittle bit about MMA? Can have a
little bit of fun, but keepyour broadcast kind of serious. Stay out
of the way of the other bigdogs. But hop in when I when
when you need me to? Ordo you want give me another beer?

(20:41):
Let's get this thing going. SoI thought it was the first one.
The owner Tim, the promoter,Tim comes by and goes, hey,
your beer and hands me a beer. Doesn't a way for the answer,
hands me the beer. I'm like, all right, I said, what
kind of part of this is?And then I proceeded to go into a
little bit more me, you know, a little bit more of my my
stand up work than my than mysports talk work. I would say this

(21:03):
though, because you were the thirdmic on the broadcast, that can be
tricky. You know, you gotto pick your spots, you knowing this
having a radio background, like you'vedone the third mic and shows before,
Like it's not easy. And youknow, like because you're mostly airtime is
limited and you're focusing on an eventgoing on, so it's even more limited.
Or it's like if you feel likeyou didn't say something right like six

(21:25):
minutes earlier, like oh, Igot to come back. It's almost like
an outfielder in baseball, like hitanother one, two, we give me
another ball out here, I cansee myself. But they there was Will
Barry and Brian Cody. There waswhatever I wanted. I can say what
I want, I can do whatI wanted. A lot of a lot
of poop jokes after I realized thata lot of poop jokes because it was
There was a point where in theOne Heavyweight Battle, the smiling assassin Joshua

(21:52):
de Pace is kneeling on the midsection of josh Walker, two big dudes,
and I'm like, dude, Iwish I wish Walker had wore brown
pants because I feel like that kneeis a problem. And will Barry you
to tell me about one of thefights he had in his career where a
guy pooped the pants. Oh no, And I was like, this is

(22:14):
the kind of level of broadcasting Ican bring you here Kage Wars sixty five.
But it was, I mean itwas. It was. Every one
of those fights is good, Everyone of those fights was was was impressive,
was exciting. Our guy, RickyI know, had that was not
impressive nor exciting. Sorry, wellit was. He's technically his debut at
that level. Correct. I thinkit's his second because he you know,

(22:37):
he definitely the second because they hadboth Ricky George, our guy who we
were friends with, and uh hisopponent Hidden Speckhart. They both had lost
the same champion, so this wasfor a belt to get back up and
go fight that champion. And itwas one of those moments you you always

(23:00):
anybody who's ever watched a minute ofUFC rare naked choke, you know what
a rare naked choke is. Guyturns into a backpack gets holding your neck,
sinches up. If you get hisfeet in around it, you're gone.
Like that's it. That was thefirst ever front naked choke I've ever
seen, and it was streck cartwas was trying to scoop Ricky to toss

(23:22):
him. Ricky moved his hands toprotect from that. As soon as he
did that, this dude got ahold of the front of his head,
locked it, sinched, it,sat back, and Ricky had to tap.
Gosh. That is rare front nakedchoke. Two things I love about
our buddy Ricky George who will continueto fight. This is just he's still
learning. He's still very new.He still came out with his teammates as

(23:45):
they fought throughout the night. Andas I said on the broadcast, one
of those two guys is going homewith a Hooters girl. Who's the real
loser. So there you go.But it was a lot of fun.
I hope they. I hope they. I hope they might be back.
It was a lot of fun,I hope. So I will try my
best next time to sit behind youand I don't know if heckle you or
provide beer some type of situation nexthag you in on. That's what reminded

(24:08):
me of it was the one timeI was like sitting there, like in
between the two main events. Iwas like, I'm gonn run, I'm
gonna go potty, and they're likeyou sure. I'm like, I could
do it. I can get back. But the weird thing about Cage was
like your very first couple of fights, those are amateurs. Those are people
who may they may never fight again. They may just be starting whatever,
or they may be drunk in thebathroom when you're trying to get in and
out of the bathroom. One ofthe guys from the early fights, well

(24:30):
you doing, buddy, what's up? Sorry about your punching your face?
Fighters, they were done fighting atthat point. There were still there were
still fights coming, you know,all right, I do. Did you
see this this next story? No, So the Knicks have been fined twenty
five thousand dollars by the NBA becausethey said in their internal stuff that Mitchell

(24:56):
Robinson would be out and then heplayed to eight points that game of the
next the next beat the Heat byforty. This is a few weeks ago.
When you and I sniffed that oneout, We're like, hmm,
something's not right here about this MitchellRobinson report and just not coming to his
clip. We sniffed that out thatthat did not come off like a typical
report. The Robinson situation. Okay, but twenty five grant that game.

(25:18):
He didn't make a difference. Hedidn't he didn't play that much. I
want I'm really curious about why thisstuff is final ble Now. Some would
say the obvious answer is gambling.The reason you can't have that is because
of gambling. Others would say it'sbecause of TV partners and media partners of
if we're gonna advertise somebody can that'sgonna be a part of this game and

(25:38):
they don't show up, then thathurts our advertisements because we said something that
was gonna happen. It is it, well, it is. So it
would be like it would be like, you know, you and I are
both coaching a team. I inmy my early memos, one of my
star my stars out brons out.Oh runs out, So you go,
okay, I don't have to worryabout him today. And then you get

(25:59):
to the game, Oh he isactually play So now you didn't prepare for
him all day and here he is, Dude, barely played PETTYBA twelve minutes.
He scored eight points I think orsomething like that. Was he was
you know whatever. Well, Iwonder about this because, yes, it
seems like this is a PLA toprotect the player, because I wonder about
with unions and associations and how playersare protected that Okay, if the player

(26:21):
is actually injured, he might beallowed certain rights. For instance, I
guess workers comp's not the best comparisonhere, but this is what I'll go
with, Like, hey, becausehe played X amount of games and you
actually said he wasn't injured, they'llbenefit from this. This is the second
time the Knicks have broken the rulesbecause you have the Jalen Brunson recruiting will
call it now this and then youwonder about what's gonna happen even though their

(26:42):
stuff got stolen by Toronto, rightlike the internal files, if something is
found in the files, although stolenfiles is another one coming. They're going
down a path here, Levac thatthey could lose a draft pick. I
mean they're constantly getting busted. Ohyou're saying these things are story add enough.
If they do something, even somethingminor might get them popped because how

(27:04):
many times. How many times doI have to speak to you? If
it's Draymond Green and these are technicalfouls, eventually you get suspended. It
feels like the Knicks are getting teedup a few times here, and the
number might get you a lost draftpick at some point. Let me make
sure I understand where we're going here. Are you implying that my beloved Knickerbockers
are doing something dirty and they're gonnaget popped eventually for it and this is

(27:26):
just the beginning, or are youimplying that they're doing so many stupid things
they're gonna get popped for being dumb? I would go with one if I
was in court. You think they'redirty? Huh? I would say that
right now they've committed crimes, notcrimes enough to spend time behind bars,
but you got busted twice, andif you keep doing the things they're not

(27:48):
allowed to do, they will addup. Yes, I would say,
this is like a bad kid inschool. I guess the Draymond Green comparison
wasn't as good, Like, Hey, we haven't given you detention yet,
but we are writing notes. Wehave an eye on you. You're heading
it out. You've gotten attention.You haven't been suspended yet, but I
openly admit that the knicks we I'llgo we on this one. Usually you

(28:11):
just go wee for the good things. We cheated and the whole Jalen brought
to some thing, not major cheats, like I think he was coming anyway.
I think it was already kind ofput together. But we made sure
we didn't want Mark Cuban pulling oneof those routines where he draws all the
place tries to find DeAndre Jordan.We didn't want one of those. We
didn't want to lock up situation.But this one seems a little I don't

(28:34):
know. Then again, also,let let's let's say this. Let me
just go here, me argue withmyself, because that makes tremendous radio twenty
five grand not much. So maybethis is just like, hey, cleric,
are here, Stop being stupid?Do you think only one person on
the show's allowed to argue with themselvesand that's me? Okay, that's my
stick. You don't get to takemy stick. I'm having the eternals up

(28:56):
here. It felt good, though, didn't it? Did it feel good?
Argue uncomfortable? How do you doit? The best is like that
is that when you argue with yourself. Guys, it's when you when you
when you correct yourself off mic Solike gods would be gods would be like
the you know, the Center,the one that they that they said wasn't

(29:17):
gonna play and then he played,Yes, thank you Mitchell Robinson, And
it's like, wait, who thehell said it? Like what who was
that? Who gave you that?Different? Like is there somebody here that
we don't know about gods? Likeyou can tell us No, I watched
a lot of movies. I know, I know imaginary people and stuff happen.
Ghosts. You are the best ofthat one. Yeah, you know

(29:38):
the event's gonna happen April twenty fifth, Thank you the NFL draft. But
it's what I didn't even say.I wasn't even in the room. Do
you think somewhere like Zach Harris isgetting credit for all those or junior deal
somebody. Yeah it was me.I I just score for me. Sometimes
I see you have like a wholeshow by yourself, and I'm like,
I guess I could take it down. I mean, he can play the

(30:02):
role of both people if he needsto. That's fine with me. We
didn't really talk about today's national championsSo do you want to do that coming
up? Yes, let's do that. Let's preview the game, and it's
also the play of the day comingup thanks to Mohawks Chevrolet. It's weird

(30:22):
you could stretch out a little bitmore. Let's talk about the Albany FireWolves.

up against ten seven finals score,but it was cool seeing the Albany attack
man. Our phones were lighting upthe back over the weekend about how cool

five, nine and nine eighty setsyour alarm there, old man Goslawski nine

(35:21):
twenty tonight the tip off between thePurdue boiler Makers and the Yukon Huskies.
Only one can be the champion.And considering the fact that you're the ripe
old age of what ninety three,you've been complaining about the tip off done?
I've turned into Corey in Greenwich?Haven't I complained about tip five?
Did you stay up and watch allof WrestleMania last night? I sure did?

(35:43):
Is that gonna end about the sametime this is gonna end? Yes?
But was I fighting sleep? Iwas? I was up at a
I don't want to be like theDoctor Rick commercials. Do they wanna care
what time I got up this morning? But uh, I was up early
this morning. I was dozing offduring mide in. I set alarms on
my phone to stay awake. God, is there anything more? What's more
embarrassing in that story? Me fightingto stay awake during wrestling or me setting

(36:06):
alarms on my phone so I won'tfall asleep during wrestling. M that's a
bad one. It's not good.So that's a bad one, because like
it'd be one thing if you likeloved wrestling so much you have to watch
it. You love wrestling, andyou're going to sleep during it, and
you're waking yourself back up during it. It's weird. It's that conflicted brain
of yours, guys, where youprobably like I can just match you.

(36:28):
What up? Who's that alarm?Oh? That's right, I said an
alarm, didn't I? Yes,you did? It was you all along?
Listen? Do I wish it wasa little earlier? Yes, nine
to twenties late? It should beeight. He did want to defend himself.
He is the h hawk of theshow, Corey, and Greenwich does
want to defend him like Corey,Go ahead, man, I'm sorry I
insulted you about the time. Butaren't you not gonna stay up tonight?

(36:51):
You're not gonna watch it? Oh? I stayed up for that uh Caitlin
card game? Who it was alittle tired clock. That was at three
o'clock yesterday? The final four game? Alright, the one before that?
God? Does that matter? Untilfive? I mean, come on,
what do you want from me?I might have to because I want to

(37:12):
see Purdue win this you want?Why do you want to win? Because
I picked Purdue brackets I did what? All right, so you are in
you did the Fox Sports picks wellsix bracket right? Correct? Are you
beating me? No? But Ihave a question. No, yes,

(37:36):
hey, well you can ask gods. Hey, guys, So if if
Purdue wins, but that beats mein points, who wins? I see
what you tried doing there? Isee what you vac wins? What do
you mean you point? Hear meout. Let's say two teams play each
other and one team scores more thanthe other. Who really want me?

(37:58):
Think about it? All right?Goodbye, Corey, I'm hanging up on
you. Wait wait, wait,wait, wait, well, Mack,
I have a question for you.Okay, uh, Calen Clark question?
Okay, does she make your MountRushmore of women's college basketball? Go?
There? You go Mount Rushmore ofwomen's basketball? Player? Don't uh?

(38:25):
He wanted to get hung up on. He knows he did. I just
like I don't even know if Iknow enough women's basketball. Don't even play
with his answer. Okay, ifthe game tipped off at eight twenty tonight,
that's a difference in eight twenty andnine twenty. They I believe.
I believe it's going to get fixedbecause college Football fixed it. I've actually
I know Corey probably didn't mean todo this as that we're joking around with

(38:47):
him. As a three o'clock tipoff yesterday, there's a chance that actually
did benefit and I know in thepast, the game you get played on
a Tuesday, I'm talking about thewomen's National Championship. If you were trying
to grow your sport on a regularSunday afternoon in April, there's a chance
that younger sports fans, young menand young women, boys and girls are

(39:08):
more likely to watch that game thantonight's National Championship game because they're going to
sleep, they're coming off spring break, they're coming off the eclipse. So
maybe this is one of these thingsthat is going to age out in sports,
these later tip off times that Iget. There's a West coast.
I understand there's other sports fans besidesthe East Coast, but the idea that
you could potentially get more fans towatch your game at different timeslots, and

(39:30):
especially younger fans, maybe fifteen yearsfrom now, we're gonna be like,
wait a second, So the gametipped off at nine to thirty at night,
and you thought they thought they'd hadmore viewers. Why did we think
that Why didn't you just put itat three o'clock when nobody was doing anything
on a Sunday. Well, andit's it does it does feel like because
what's in its way? Like whywouldn't you start it at eight? Like?

(39:52):
And I guess it's probably you know, hey, dummy, it's where
the game is and blah blah blah. But I don't. I don't like
that because again, just because thegame is someplace where the time makes that
acceptable doesn't mean it's more people aregonna see it. So I'm with you,
like I would rather see even likelisten, I know I'm splitting hairs
here, give me eight forty five, you know, split the difference with

(40:15):
me a little bit, because itdoes make it difficult to see. I
personally, I'm fine with it.I'll watch what I want to watch,
and when I'm ready to go tosleep, I'll go to sleep and I'll
watch the rest of the morning.I'll I have the technology, I'm not
that worried about it. But fora lot of people that haven't figured out
how to tape things or move theircables, not setup that way or whatever.

(40:36):
You're gonna watch what you're gonna watch. You're either gonna fight yourself to
stay awake, or you're gonna havethe game spoiled for you at some point
in about a half hour spein outcollege hoops. I'm not thinking about this
like timesjustin I think the cap JohnCaliperry move can have a seismic shift in
college sports forever. So hang onto that tease pin that for about thirty

(40:57):
five minutes if we go to threehours, So just get ready for the
seismic shift that could be Cali Perry'smove. So there's a hyperbole potentially for
that. But Boston hates you though, so you're so many to Corey.
I think he just continues to askyou questions about the Boston Red Sox.
Big Jake journalists. We are comingfrom Boston. Dan over there, Zach
Edy. His numbers he's put up. He had a forty and twenty game

(41:21):
in one of the regional rounds.I believe his stats going in tonight are
thirty sixteen and two in the NCdoumble. It go find an athlete who
did thirty sixteen and two that that'scrazy. But even at seven foot four,
even a two time player of theyear. Even with those numbers back,

(41:42):
there are people that are still doubtinghim. Now feels like Lavac's hands
up by the way. It feelslike because of how he moves. And
if you are an NBA fan andwatched Zach Edy move on the court,
you're like, come on, thisguy's not Porzingis. He's not Victor Webbins.
His style is not twenty twenty fourNBA basketball. But at some point
you just wonder, like thirty andsixteen means something, forty and twenty means

(42:07):
something. He might is as weirdas it sounds for being the best player
in the country the last two years. He might need this game to prove
the doubters wrong, to be like, oh, okay, you took down
the muddy Yukon, You were thebest player on the court. You beat
this dynasty potentially on the way.Okay, you can play in the NBA.
We think you could be an impactplayer in the NBA. Are you
Zion? Are you New School Shack? Are you Sean Bradley? I don't

(42:30):
know what you're gonna be, butmaybe tonight prove some of those haters wrong.
You confess to being a doubter ofZach Edy A hater, okay,
I oh a hater. I justI feel like he moves too slow.
I feel like he can be manipulated, he can be pushed around a little
bit, he can be putting positionswhere he is a liability. I really,
I think you kinda won't be ableto do that. I just he

(42:52):
doesn't move fluidly like he looks.Fraggans done make eighty. There's gonna be
a point where you trying to swapbasketballs, and I think it's a slow
motion King Kong try to take downairplanes on top of the empire statebility.
I just I don't I don't buyit. Yeah, it's not an athletics

(43:12):
seven foot four, right, butthen again, there's not a lot of
human beings what I just said,right, there's not a lot of human
beings on planet Earth that are athleticsseven foot four. Though, there's not
a lot human beings that Earth sevenfour. That's exactly right. Actually,
the more I look around, there'snot a lot of athletic ones around here
either. But I just I'm notI'm not into it as much. I
think U CON's that damn good too. I think ever since Hurley was like,

(43:34):
look out here we come. That'swho they've been and and they're gonna
do it again. I want todo my play of the day right now.
I'm plane today, brought to youby our good friends at Mohawks Chevrolet.
Together, let's ride at Mowaks Chevywhere they always go out of their
way to please you. I'm doingthis game. I'm doing this game so
you've learned this from me when itcomes to future wagers that I'm so stubborn

(43:54):
with the bet. I won't hedgemy future wager that if this thing's gonna
burn, where going down, We'reall gonna burn together. I've bet against
Yukon against Alabama. I wanted yuKona get upset by somebody in their bracket.
I thought Illinois had a chance therewhen they were keeping it close.
It didn't happen. I've already burnedit all down. Let's do a few
more sticks on the fire here.So I'm gonna take Perdue and I would

(44:19):
do Purdue with the points and Purduemoney line to chop it up. Do
I think Purdue can actually win?I think if Zachie and he's good enough
and stays out a foul trouble.They can, Yeah, but I want
this is a clear heart overhead bet, which there's laughter. I can hear
it through the radios and the cars, people sitting in traffic. I'm telling
you right now, I'm not takingYukon as a Syracuse basketball fan. I'm

(44:39):
betting with my heart tonight, whichmight be the dumbest things to do when
it comes to wagering. Give meperdue to make it happen. Party in
West Lafayette, Fat Shane McMahon.Matt Painter gonna get his national championship,
he said, like people arguing intheir cars. I'm just picture of real
stuck in traffic. Thin. Butit was it was like it was like
twenty minutes. Yeah. It waslike somebody's turn off a light and then

(45:00):
turn it back on slowly. Yeah, and we drove over an hour to
see that. Yeah, I amI am against you. I'll lay the
six and a half. I likeYukon tonight. I just think there's too
much right for them to play thewrong game. I think they go out
there to the business. Uh.Painter, I like that guy. We've
had the opportunity to work with himfor coaches, cancer and stuff. Like

(45:22):
that in the past, A lotof love for him, but it's Hurley's
time. We got ourselves a newa new dynasty in Yukon, and it's
gonna show itself tonight. That's that'sone of my plays. Oh you got
another one? What he also gotfor us? I'm going to judge for
a dinger tonight. I think yourlittle little little Aaron Judge home run action
sounds like some fun to me.Mark my words. Before this week ends,

(45:43):
I will do a home run parlaybecause when that bad boy hit,
I have not got that excited abouta bet in a very long time.
Usually I try to stay away fromlike the fantasy parlays because I feel like
the true odds I'm want to boreyou with this take, but like the
trul A the true odds, Idon't think ever really matched for a fantasy
parlay. But the home run parlayis awesome. Yeah get that at like
eighteen to one, twenty five toone, thirty to one and yours root

(46:06):
for Dingers. I'm gonna do onethis week at some point with Gunner Henderson
from the Orioles. I don't knowhow, I don't know when, but
it will strike at some point thisweek, I was giving me a chance
to look off Mike. It's gonnabe Wednesday. The bet I was most
excited about last would have been whatthe NFC Championship game where I won all
my spending money for Vegas. Yeah, and that was awesome. You had

(46:29):
to sweat that one on all theway through, not all the way.
I got to the end. Ibought out, Oh right, or I
would have lost because rock Party waslike seven yards short of where I need
him to be. No, No, cashed out. Dad had took the
chips and went on his way.He did not get great. I left
a question for you guys. Yeah, do you think Dana Alawski really farts

(46:50):
a lot? No? No,the poor poor You make one sound during
one interview, it changes your lifeforever. I think he farts a lot.
It's an odd he has one ofthose odd diet people and people want
to eat certain things and that weirdthing going on. But you don't think
he like You don't think he justhe ripped them on Pat Mac. No,

(47:12):
I don't. I don't I thinkhe did. I think I think
he's and now I think he's Ithink he's into it now. I think
it's funny to him, like helike, if I told you every time
you farted, people were gonna laughinstead of be a match like would you
hide it? I'd feel like that'sthe greatest compliment. And give a sports
radio host. There's clips somewhere outthere that Mike Francesca was reading the New
York Post and they actually wrote anarticle about whether or not he farted on

(47:35):
the air, and he's like,there can't be right in this and then
just hung up thinking it was afake call. And then his producer had
to pass the note that here's theNew York Post. If you've hit that
level of fame that people are wondering, here I am, and there you
go. All right, won't gotpast the goalie the Kardashian level of fame
when people are arguing whether or notyou did it and or low he's hit

(47:58):
that level. Now, I guess, well, if he denied it,
we know he supplied it. Sothat's that's that's right there. That's science
for you right there. How Uh, I've actually had some really great experiences
today. It's been one of thosecool days where so uh stop by the
gas station, told you about this. A dude was talking about selling his
his clips glasses. So I gooutside and there's a gentleman staring at Scarjo,

(48:20):
staring at my Mohawk Chevrolet Silverado.And I'm like, it felt awkward
getting in at that point He's justhe's just staring at her. So I
got there. He goes, man, I'm sorry. He goes, I've
seen your truck before. I loveyour truck. I go, man,
I love it too. He goes, I can't afford it. I go,
Honestly, I'm shocked that I havethis truck. I go, I
tell you, here's what I have. I'm forever. I've been telling,

(48:40):
you know, Andy Gelacher, JeffHard and I want a black Widow Silverado
forever. I've been telling Travis andKatie, the GM and the assistant gym,
I want one. So all ofa sudden, this one rolls on
a lot. It's a year older, but it's brand new. Because of
the whole COVID situation, no onebought it. They went through it,
made sure everything was right, foundit got it down to where I could,
you know, manage the payments I'mrolling. That's how goes their financial

(49:02):
department to care of it for me. That's the kind of situation that you
can have too. But you gotto have that relationship with your dealership.
And that's why I love that together. Let's drive at Malwak Chevrolet. Thing
they say, because it's true.I started telling them what I wanted.
I kept an eye on it.Every time I've been through there for an
oil change or whatever. I'm like, hey, ready, you're ready.
Finally they were absolutely ready, andnow I've got the truck of my dreams.

(49:24):
Have the car truck your dreams atMalak Chevrolet where they always go out
of their way to please you.We're coming back. How about three hours
of lavaking guys more us seems ostentageous, but I'll do it. Bonus bucks
