Episode Transcript

(00:00):
It's love, aking, guys.On the voice of the Capitol Regions Sports
Fan Fox Sports ninety five, nineand nine eighty. Okay, so it
feels guys, let me know ifI'm actually having some kind of cosmic effect
on the on the NHL Playoffs becausethey were down one, I went in

(00:23):
full panic mode. The Rangers wintwo over Florida the Panthers, I go
puffy chest. I feel like we'reon a roll. This thing's gonna be
all good. We're good to gowhatever. And then they lose one in
overtime to the Florida Panthers. Likeit wasn't even really overtime. I felt
like overtime started and then it wasover. Is it my fault, guys
that the Rangers lost that game?Yes. I think everyone knows it,

(00:45):
and you should be embarrassed. I'mglad you waited till the third hour to
talk about it. I think youhave to offer up the blue shirts the
girls in apology for what happened yesterday. I I would. I'm very sorry.
I'm not happy with how how thishas all taking place. I really
thought that I thought that it wasgonna be okay, and I'm just I

(01:06):
just feel terrible. I just feelabsolutely terrible about it all. Much better,
thank you. I know a lotof Ranger fans have been trying to
figure out what in the world's beengoing on into the Eastern Conference Finals.
We said this in the top fourto four yesterday about non hockey fan,
hockey fan, how great the EasternConference Finals have been. That was before
Game four last night, before theback and forth, before the exciting goals

(01:30):
and another overtime finish and tied upthe series. This is everything you would
want. I mean, not stressspies, maybe not cashing betspies, but
Ranger fans, like most fans whoare watching their team compete in the postseason,
but like a nice, easy,relaxing breeze series and get your team
onto the championship. And that hasnot been the Eastern Conference Finals. Again,
an overtime thrilling game that even ifyou're not the biggest hockey fan in

(01:53):
the world and you're just enjoying somethingon a random Tuesday night, it is
entertaining. Ryan Hart with the gamewinner, I love it like this is.
I don't know if Gary Batman getscredit. I don't know if it's
just a New York team being involvedwith Why I'm so excited about this.
I can't think for a long time, not even the Rangers run back to
the finals and they lost to theKings in the mid twenty tens. This

(02:15):
is ninety four. I know it'sa beaten down storyline. Not to give
them to ninety four for real,Like, this is about as exciting as
it gets. And I'm talking aboutit after a New York team lost last
night. But that last night's gamefelt soft, right, like all joking
aside, Like I didn't enjoy lastnight's game. I enjoyed the Minnesota Dallas

(02:37):
game for Who's way more because thatfelt physically, that felt real. The
Rangers looked like they looked in Gameone. The reason the series is two
too right now is the Rangers lookedsoft again. They didn't look like they
were trying to end it. Theylooked like it was, well, we're
the better team, so we'll justoutskate them and everything else and it'll be
okay. You know. That's theway I felt, And it made me

(03:01):
nervous because is it a switch?Like is it something? Is there something
wrong with them? Are they overconfident at certain points? Like because if
this thing goes three to two.The other way, I'm gonna lose a
lot of confidence, Like two totwo is maybe it makes me unhappy,
uncomfortable and not feel safe. Youknow, I feel unsafe. But at

(03:21):
the same time, three to tworight now, with the way they just
played, would scare the hell outof me. Yeah, that's probably true.
That is probably exactly what's going onthere. Rajor Fitch should be concerned.
You're taking on the defending Eastern Conferencechampions. They have a lot of
really good goal scorers out on theice, they have a really passionate fan
base that's seen it before. That'shaving a fun home ice advantage. Even

(03:44):
the Garden's been rocket to all thatstuff has been close. I get it.
Like New York has been the bestregular season team. New York at
one point in this postseason was thebest postseason team. But when you take
face off truly with a team thatis a coin flip team, and we've
seen it in the series so far. It's a seven game series, it's
set to be. It's about togo seven. But if they went nine,
they would probably be four to fourgoing to Game nine. If they

(04:05):
went eleven, they'd probably be fiveto five, going to eleven. That's
how close this series is. AndI understand why the Ranger fan base and
you should be concerned of This isnot a team we can just overpower like
other teams. This is the bestthese I know you wanted Boston so bad.
I know you wanted the bruin matchup. We didn't get either one of
the New York Boston matchups, butthis has proved, from what I've seen

(04:29):
so far, to be more competitivematchup. I can't easily tell you that
New York would have destroyed Boston.Maybe some fans would say that they're like,
guys, you're watching how good Floridais. They're the best of the
best, and so it was NewYork. These are the two best teams.
New York could have beat Boston andthat would have been an een senier
matchup. But I'm not as convinced. Watching two really good teams battle against
each other doesn't make me convinced thatthe other team would have been not even

(04:51):
showing up like we saw on theNBA side of the Eastern Conference. But
that's not even true either. ThePacers could have been a two two,
but they joked it. I justI feel like the Panthers are built in
a way that makes them a tougheropponent for the Rangers. Like, that's
that's why I wanted I wanted Bostonfor two reasons. One, I love

(05:14):
beating Boston and it just like Bostonfans love beating New York, Like,
there's there's no way as much asI'm sure Celtics fans truly enjoyed sweeping the
Pacers, they really wish they gota chance to sweep the Necks. Like
as a Rangers fan, you know, let's say you went in seven over
Florida. I would rather win insix or seven over Boston every day of
the week. I just I justthink that Florida is built in such a

(05:38):
way that they are a bigger headache, a bigger pain than the tickets,
if you will, for the Rangers, and that that Boston would have been
a better matchup for them. That'swhy I wanted them two reasons. The
irrational fan, let's beat your yourrival. And the rational fan, I
think we're better suited to beat thatteam. That those are the two.

(05:58):
I know you wanted Boston. Idid, I did, I did,
And listen what I might get themin baseball. The way things are going,
you know your tube. I'm surewe'll talk about that coming up,
but uh yeah, I mean it'sjust listen, just disheartening to watch them
play with no heart last night.So how how nervous should I be?

(06:19):
Since you're a neutral party in thisthing? Do you? You don't have
a hockey team, do you.I'm root for the Rangers now it's just
started the series, do we.No? I don't. I've not declared
my hockey alliance yet. I toldyou I bounced around for those who don't
know. I used to bounce aroundfor whatever team was affility with the Syracuse
Crunch because they get to watch theplayers go up. I can't become a

(06:41):
Ranger and a Nick fan in thesame year unless we carry the New York
Rangers next year and you're home forCample Region Sports, which this again I'm
not saying we are going to,but there's been conversation. I guess I
would have to ask a hockey fanthat because I remember running the The Devil's
the Rats when they were here locally, and I don't. I don't remember
ratings, like I don't know ifthey got ratings. Does hockey have a

(07:04):
following on radio, like please,you know, please send all emails to
Thomas Goslowski. I I I atat, iHeartMedia dot com about should we
be a Rangers hockey team? Sadly, sadly now, I didn't want to
ever tell you this, but sadlynow they finally fixed my email. And

(07:25):
by fixed it means it is nowjust godz and iHeartMedia. I don't know
it still works. You do itthough, because I still have that,
I say it, okay, Thomas, I I It's like Ozzie, don't
I would. I would say thisabout hockey on the radio if we ever
got the Rangers, which yeah,I've been rooted for him, I've been
joined, and I find the actionawesome, compelling. But in a hockey

(07:46):
broadcast, and people know this,there's very few commercial breaks because the action
is so high by intense and fastpaints and everything else. So that's a
little different. So when it comesto commercial inventory, I knew this,
and you know this is well forfrom the from the River rats and the
devils and everything else, and it'shard to make that happen. And also
I would say this, here's ahot take on a Wednesday in the five

(08:07):
o'clock hour. I would say broadcastinghockey on the radio is the most difficult
play by play gig in sports hockeyradio broadcaster. I have more respect for
it than I think anybody else.That is the toughest gig because that's a
lot of words you got to getin really fast and in a high intense

(08:28):
game. So credit to people whohave done it before. I think Josh
Heller was the broadcaster for the Devilsand you and I covered him. Evan
Pivnik who did stuff for the AdironDeck Thunder. Shout out to all the
hockey radio broadcasters out there. Yeah, I don't. I've never listened to
a hockey game intentionally on the radio. I'll go to a hockey game,
I'll talk about hockey, I'll enjoythe Rangers, I'll watch them, but

(08:50):
I've never listened to one. SoI get again. I'll I bow to
you on this one. Oh oh, brand manager, do you want to
do that? Come on, whatare you gonna do? I will wait
until they call me back. Allright, Okay, all right, it's
fair. It's a fair answer.It's a fair answer. Hey do you

(09:11):
are you gonna I feel like I'mgonna ask you this every five minutes.
Are you gonna come to Couginas tonightfor a flock university? You know what,
I haven't decided yet. How aboutby the end of the show,
I'll make a decision whether or notI'm gonna come. I haven't decided yet.
I love what they're doing on socialmedia. I know. I think
it's Leon on Twitter's tagnist on somestuff. I will tell you an answer
by the end of the show.How about that. I know what that
means. I know what that means. I know exactly what that means.

(09:35):
That's guys for I don't want totick you off this early because we got
a lot of show left to do. But I'm not coming. Let's just
you know what, Man up andsay it. Man up, grow,
grow, I don't know, yeah, let me think about it. No,
I don't believe you. I don'tbelieve you at all. I don't
even believe you a little bit.You know what, You're the dove Climbate
of the show. You just lie. It's all. Yeah, your pants

(09:58):
are on fire. That's what's goingon right right now, sir, oh
man, what I'm trying to think? What we miss so far to hell.
I don't want to miss anything.Did you see the you see the
I saw a small video online thatI think needs to be like a request
into New Heights. I don't alwayspay attention to New Heights with the Kelsey

(10:18):
brothers. But did you see thevideo where some lady got like super pushy
about taking her picture with Jason Kelseyand his wife. I did. But
here here's the problem with videos likethat. I almost shared that on at
w of X nine eighty. Ialmost shared it. But here's the problem.
I got seven seconds of that video, so I know like one story
of like like you said, thegirl was being pushy and trying to get

(10:39):
the ratograph and everything else. Thevideo I see is the wife's screaming at
the girl. I shouldn't say girls, she say a woman. It was
a grown woman she was screaming at. So all you see is the Kelsey
wife. What was her name again, I'm sorry I just blanked her name?
Her first thing, okay, Kyley, kelt okay. So I see
her screaming at her, that wouldbe terrible. It makes me feel like

(11:00):
she's the crazy person in the video. That's why I can't stay videos like
this because I don't know how longshe was beating harrassed work. I don't
know if who's the normal one inthat video. I well onlooker said,
what happened is the woman comes up, asks for a picture. They say,
you know, hey, we're ona date, and I please,
no, we're not interested. Shepursues and keeps going, and if you
listen, she says something like you'llnever be welcome in this area again.

(11:24):
And then Kelsey's wife says some ofthe effect of you're embarrassing yourself and it's
either I smell alcohol in your breathor whatever. So that's the thing is
like this video, I almost don'tcare what the video is. The video
is ats to listen to the nextNew Heights because there's no way Travis Kelcey
let's Chason get away without telling thestory. I would stay away. As

(11:48):
a married man, sometimes your wife'sgot to handle her business that might not
be in your lane. Man,I don't know. It is a lot
waymen at this video. I wasgonna say, because my favorite part of
the video is how far back he'shiding. He's well backed. There's another
person who's like trying to accept thelovely Jo. You would totally run.
You would run. You would letthe lovely Jo and for herself. Yeah,

(12:09):
you'd run for it. I absolutelywould not. I would get involved.
It doesn't matter where it was,because I really like this place.
Her and I have been in situationswhere there have been screaming matches with people
just because we've been dating for solong. So her and I have been
in that spot before. Once Iwas confused about truly what was going on,

(12:30):
and she was like also confused ofwhy there was almost a fight that
broke out. So we'd been inspots like that before, not as many
as people would think, because weare both large human beings. I'm sure
Jason kel right, she's very tall. Like, not a lot of women
are picking fights with a former Dtwo volleyball player. That's not They're gonna
try somebody else who they're gonna startyelling his great no this scenario. He

(12:52):
can do whatever he wants. Iwould tell him, there's nothing you're gonna
say on the New Heights podcast thatis gonna be in the perfect way your
wife would have phrased it. Andthen you're almost on a bad spot because
if you bring her well, okay, so here's the other problem with that,
right, let's say you bring heron to defend it, then it
seems like you're using it for apublicity, like, oh, do you
see this fight we got into withthis regular onlooker, Let's make fun of

(13:16):
her, get ratings out of it. It's a little it's a little cringe
for me. So I don't thinkthere's any win scenario for the Kelsey's in
that. Oh. I'm one hundredpercent in to hear this story. I'm
hundred percent in. I want tohear this story all day long, and
I will. I will take backthat you would run away because I will
point out, historically speaking, anytimeanyone has been aggressive with me, whether

(13:37):
it be a haunted house or whatever, you are the right. You're right
there, so I will give you. I will give you that respect you
do. I don't know if youwould do the same for your wife,
but you definitely would do it forme. Every Oh, thank you.
But everyone has a fight or flightscenario. I think people would be startled,
and I know you know that mineusfar more fight than flight, almost
to the point we're like, oh, I didn't think that would be the
reaction of Gaza oh, where arewe going here? Yeah? Yeah,

(13:58):
it's true. You're you're you're alarge, weird human being that I can't
always figure out what's going to happennext. That's but that's why we love
you. That's why we love you, and I love you. Yeah,
I love Elevation ten thousand. Iwanted to do that. I get sense
it. Go ahead, tell usabout the wonderful thing that is Elevation ten

(15:20):
them really cool titles like Centurion.Next right here, Fox Sports Radio ninety
five, nine and nine eighty,It's love Akan guz on the voice of
the Capitol Regions Sports Fan, FoxSports ninety five, nine and nine eighty.
There's there's guys, I like,I love that old saying. I

(15:41):
don't know how to use my words. All of a sudden, I don't
know what just happened. I lostthe ability to do to do English.
But like you know, the oldsaying, like, get you somebody who
looks at you the way So andso looks at somebody else, like we
need. We need to get ourselvessomebody who looks at us the way Scott
Boris looks at Wan Soda. Ithink that's that's what we need. I
mean, can you like, Iknow, he's an agent. It's his

(16:03):
job to puff up the image andthe greatness that is Juan Soda, which
you know, not the most difficultthing to do. The guy's a great
baseball player, but he started callinghim the Centurion, which means he's a
top one hundred baseball player. AndI would argue he's the top twenty five
baseball player. But I mean,that's that's a nickname, that's a word

(16:26):
being used for you. That that'sjust cool, Like that is a that's
that is cool. All right?Once you figured out English there, you
dropped up some bombs. And aboutthat ninety second piece, I got a
lot to say about what you justsaid there. Let's first go back to
the Scottpors agent thing. Let's allagree on what you just said there.
We all need a hype man orwoman for ourselves, like Ari Gold,

(16:47):
you know one of my favorite showsof all time is Entourage. That show
has not aged well in the yeartwenty twenty four, but I do love
that show. Gotta be careful howwhat you don't think? So now it's
still get It's one of the thinksit gets away with what it got away
with. Explain what you mean bythat, because I think I know what
you mean, but some people mightbe confused by that. It's a dude

(17:10):
doing dude things kind of show isAri is not very pleasant to the gay
community, especially and especially his hishis hemo sexual assistant, but a lot
of those things. But it's suchan over the top like allow it because
if you do it, if it'snot you like, Allow it because if
you do it, if it's notyou like, like if I do a

(17:32):
voice and make fun of someone,it's a character making fun of them.
It's not jeffalovact making fun of them. Some people will accept it, and
I think Entourage is one of theones that gets a pass. That's a
good take that common sense of hey, this person's an actor. They're acting,
they're not a real person. Unfortunatelythat's not the world and content has
changed. I would agree that youshouldn't get upset about it. The point

(17:53):
but I was getting that was thatAri Gold is this to any chase,
and most agents are like to say, we'll hype up their clients as much
as they can be great if weall had hype men and women have in
our back, just like Scott orshas about wantson, I'm totally with that.
Let's all make that a goal fortwenty twenty five. Get your own
hype man or woman, whether it'swhere you work, your coach, your
friend, whatever it might be.So I'm with you on that. I

(18:14):
want to clarify something you said thoughabout the scotpars quote. I want to
make sure I understand this the centaurianso a top one hundred player does he
mean in the history of baseball andnot just right now because what I heard.
So here's here's the quote. Idon't think centurions for any team are

(18:34):
what you would consider a cost toa team, because it's franchise appreciation edition.
So whatever your franchise is worth,a centurion on your team with thereby
making the team worth billions more so, I would have to say all time
based on that, I've looked upthe definition of centurion the leader of one

(18:59):
hund hundred soldiers, a type ofwarriors, someone engaged in or experienced in
warfare. Wow, that's pretty badass. That's a pretty awesome nickname. That
is really cool. Uh so aleader. Gosh, that is an awesome
nickname because when you first presented it, there, heytonis on Planet Earth.
That's player right now in baseball likeshow Antonias on Planet Earth. I know

(19:22):
player right now in baseball like showAntonia knows on Planet Earth. I know
Aaron Judge is in the same lineup. But like, there's an argument to
be made that wants so to Soif you're that he was the best player
the future, the king, theso, if you're talking that he was
the best player the future, theking, the so, if you're talking
about somebody is the best player inthe sport at the time, where sports

(19:42):
as they develop, you can alwaysmake the argument of the modern day sports
team might be the best sports teamof all time because the athletes height and
growth and everything else to expand inthe sport. I'm under the steroids,
I'm under the impression Scott boards,so I I and the timing is not
lost on me, right, So, and the timing is not lost on

(20:03):
me. Right, So, justa couple of days ago, we are
sitting here and we are we're,you know, we're talking about how high
how Steinbrenner. You know, he'sdoing a little winky winky kiss he kissy
over in Sodo's general direction. Sotocomes back with like, potentially the most
the most friendly or opening return thathe's had since he's since he's been a

(20:27):
free agent. And all this isgoing back and forth, and I think
somewhere Scott Horse is going no,no, no, no no no no
no, no, no, nono. We need to be open to
everyone. We need to make sure, you know, the Yankees aren't necessarily
the biggest wallet anymore. It couldbe the Mets, could be the Dodgers,
could be the Angels. So Ithink that this is a very well

(20:47):
well thought out and structured statement toexpress the greatness of his client at this
moment in which his client almost accidentallymay have lowered his value you because he
went, you know, I kindof I kind of want to be a
Yankee. I do it sounds I'mhaving fun here, Like he didn't say
in so many words, but hesaid it. He likes being a Yankee.

(21:08):
So I was like, Hey,he's a centurion, you know what
I mean. So you guys,anybody out there who is like, wow,
then the Yankees are going to definitelyopen up the pocketbook because of what
he just said. Everyone should becauseit'll raise the value of your franchise.
Is he pacing right now, JuanSoda? I give what that point it
is too at the end of raisingthe value of the franchise. If he's

(21:29):
that good. Yes, whatever thefuture is, whether it's the Yankees or
not, with a better team andmore wins and more marketability and what his
future is, that's exactly what ScottBoard's gonna push. But I wonder this
abount one soda when he does itfree agency, which I'm still under the
expectation, not even be an Oriolefan who's hating. I really believe Scott
Boris and company are going to justtry to test the market on the want

(21:51):
soda. No matter if the Yankeeswin the World Series or get pumped to
the postseason earlier, whatever happens.Is he going to become the highest paid
baseball player in the history of baseball? Like, is his contract going to
pass Otani's? Is it gonna passHarper and Machado and everybody, Garrett Cole,
because it feels like with these typesof compliments, because of how the

(22:12):
market is shifted because of Soto's age, Scott Boris is going to try to
attempt to make Juan Soto the highestpaid baseball player of all time. And
I say that with a question markasking that to you, like, are
we heading in that direction of thisis what Scott Borris is hoping for Juan
Soto. I think Scott Borris hopesfor that every single contract he does,

(22:34):
Like, I don't think that's justone like right now. He hopes that
for Juan Soto. But if hecould find a way to make it Pete
Alonso or Jordan Montgomery or whoever elsehe would, he would as well,
it's just with Juan Soto, He'sgot he's got something special. I mean,
the deal with Wan Soto. Imagineif imagine if you didn't have Aaron

(22:56):
Judge on the Yankees, Imagine ifja Carlo stan was still in a slump,
you'd be looking at a dude Battenthree twelve fifteen home runs, forty
six RBIs and an ops of nineeight nine, who's twenty five years old
and a lefty at Yankee Stadium,like he's all you be talking about.

(23:17):
The only reason that he is somehowkind of a little bit under the radar
is Judge is on a tear andthe Yankees are so good. It's it's
he is. He's a generational talent, and he seeks the spotlight. He
likes the shine. He wants towin. It's not he doesn't just want
to get paid. He plays betterwhen the lights are brighter, so he

(23:41):
could very well end up being thehighest paid. My bet is his contract
doesn't have the same numbers as ShoHeeo Tani because remember that allegedly it was
he was gonna he's gonna pitch andhit. But I also don't think he'll
have a lot of that deferred nonsenseeither. I think he'll actually get his
five hundred to six hundred million dollarsduring the life of the actual contract.

(24:02):
Let's just play around these numbers,all right. Let's say, and I
think he's gonna get far more thanthis. But let's say Juan Soto gets
a three hundred and twenty million dollarcontract. So showe Aotani's contract as you're
getting at here, like Otani hadthe ten year, seven hundred million dollars
deal. But the reason I almostpause there is because we know that's really

(24:23):
not it, and you've been followingthe stories. There's deferred money, it's
it's a bizarre contract to explain it, we knowing Shoe Aotani, I don't
even like diving into what's true andwhat's not because I get confused along the
path of what is Shoe Aotani.Credit to you again, Leavak, for
that. He is the Michael Jacksonof athletes, and we're gonna continue to
find out more and more. Solet's just for the sake of this conversation
say Otani's making seven hundred million.Okay, so he's got the highest contract

(24:45):
of all time. So maybe abetter way for me to have set up
that question it would have been notnamed Otani. Will he have the record
setting contract of all time? Sonext up is his teammate, Aaron Judge.
Aaron Judges contract that he signed acouple of seasons ago was a ninetyear
your deal worth three hundred and sixtymillion dollars, and Garrett Cole's already on

(25:07):
the roster for three twenty four andthe number I tossed out to you.
I think was three twenty. Solet's say the Yankee signed Juan Soda to
a three hundred and twenty million dollarsdo you I think everyone knows where I'm
going with this. That means JuanSoto, Garrett Cole, and Aaron Judge,
the New York Yankees on three playersalone, would have paid out a

(25:29):
total of over one billion dollars.Do you do? You do you put
Stanton in there even though they're notthe ones who did his contract. Uh,
I mean they're gonna they're now yourwall over a billion. I was
gonna now your bill. Yeah,I was gonna say that one's a little
harder because I believe they're done.The Marlins paid a bunch of that,
didn't they Was there some weird understandingabout half and half? Or I think

(25:53):
it's I think it's a different Ido. I know they paid a good
chunk of it, but I don'tthink it. I don't think it's half.
I And again, it's just youknow that guy is still making what
twenty seven million dollars a year onyour roster, so it's still there.
It's still happening. So the Marlinsare paying some of that. Yeah,

(26:14):
one more time? Did he saythat over there at the back thirteen and
three twenty five? Yeah? Icould watch it twenty seven a year,
but jeez, it's worse when yousay it like that. Okay, So
the Miami Marlins will pay in anadditional thirty million dollars between the seasons of
twenty twenty five. There's ninety eightmillion two twenty five, there's twenty twenty

(26:37):
seven. Good gosh, that's outrageous. Uh yeah, So look, Watson
is great. Watson is awesome.I don't think he's a regular Tanis record.
He should get paid a bunch ofmoney. We also have to factor
and he's only twenty five years old. So even if you give him a
ten year contract, A lot oftimes we see these athletes, especially in
baseball, get to thirty, twentynine, thirty one, and then they
get the eight or nine year deal. In those last seven eight nine years

(27:00):
on that contract, they're not verygood. That would not be the case
here for Soto. Gosh, he'sso good though. I was saying ten
tenured. So do okay, holdon, here we go. I've I've
lost English again, but it's back. We can do this. What record
does he break, because I dothink that he will. There will be
a financial record broken. Will itbe length of contract, will it be

(27:22):
annual? Obviously, everybodys guaranteed inbaseball, so you can't do that one.
You know, is it? Youknow, is it most most money
up front? There'll be something likeBoris will get something, He'll get He'll
get a title out of this thatWan so too signed the biggest contract in
the history of Major League Baseball.Based on this stat he would be the

(27:44):
highest paid position player of all time. I think Otani would be a dual
threat. He'd be listed as adual threat, so it be highest paid
position player of all time, bythe way, you know what, I
probably should factor in here, thoughmaybe we all should factor this. And
he wasn't great in twenty twenty two, you know, like he did bad

(28:07):
two forty, twenty twenty three,he was. He was pretty solid for
the Padres. But he has hadsome bad seasons, you know, twenty
twenty two, you know what Imean, Like, look, he's bad
in twenty twenty two, he's betterin twenty twenty three. He's on a
record setting PAGs. He's on anMVP pace in twenty twenty four. If

(28:27):
you're the Yankees, this feels likeJudge all over again, where it's like
you could have got him more costefficient earlier in his career, but they
bet on themselves to cash in.And because of that, the Yankees or
other suitors will have to look backand say, ah, we could have
made the Sodo, got him fora more affordable price, and made a
move on him. But even inlate May, I feel like that sailed.

(28:49):
I don't even know what the pricewould have to torn knee, a
busted up shoulder. I don't knowwhat's even gonna bring down the Sodo price
with Scott Bors. This is agentat this point. Now. Something off
the field that's probably it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I said,
an injury or because even a slump. I mean, you gotta believe
the way he's playing, you haveto believe he's gonna finish the year above

(29:11):
three hundred. Is he on pacefor forty plus home runs? Well over
May? I think one hundred andtwenty rbi Like he's he's on pace to
be what you expect him be,and he's one of those rare, rare
things. He can protect Judge inthe lineup you. You know, if
you if you have an outfield atsome point of Aaron Judge, Juan Soto

(29:34):
and Jason Domingez, and Domingas becomeswhat you thought he was gonna be.
That that outfield right there could wouldnot only be starting a Yankee stadium and
wherever the Yankees were, it's probablystarting in the All Star Game multiple years.
And it's probably a battle for MVPbetween at least so Too and Judge.
That'll be a fun battle to watch. I'm with that Soto and Judge,

(29:56):
both Yankees. I'd love to throwus other names out there, but
we're too early in the Nobody elseis emerged as a candidate for the MVP.
Nobody else is in that discussion reallyright now besides those two. It's
true, and I mean and listenwhen you look at the New York Yankees
and the fact that they lost anothergame, still a game and a half
up on your filthy Orioles. Andby the way, Garrett Cole is not

(30:18):
thrown a pitch yet, dj LeMayhew is almost back, Jason Demngez is
rehabby. They're best team in baseballonly getting better. It's good to be
a Yankees fan. I watched alot of the Orioles Red Sox game last
night up at Prime at Saratoga National, and you guys stink he gus.

(30:40):
You look at a young team thathas know what you're doing. Wait a
second, heybey a second. Theday before, on a Memorial Day,
they pounded the Red Sox, Andyou don't get to make that declaration after
the Yankees lost yesterday to the secondworst team in the American League. I
know your stats about fifteen straight gameswith starters giving up two or less runs.
I know about the history, butI think that's a push on yesterday's

(31:02):
performances. In the oriel of theYankee game, I would say that Angel
loss is far worse than the RedSoC loss. I'm just saying it's one
of those deals where you know,if you lose, you look if you're
if you're trying to catch the Yankeesand they and they have a gaff where
you know, Rizzo admits that hescrewed up, and uh, you know,
well everybody admits the screwed up.Everybody. Everybody's like, that's what

(31:25):
That's what team does, is everybodyyou know when it's when it's wrong,
you point with the with the thumb. When it's right, you point with
the finger. That's what the Yankeedoes. You wouldn't wouldn't know that your
young Orioles are they're not like that. But everybody took blame for it,
and you didn't gain any ground.You didn't gain any ground. One of
the one of the rare poor performancesfrom the Yankees. So I mean,
I just if you, if I'myou, I just you know, I

(31:47):
just I just give up and joinjoin the Yankee universe. No, no,
no. Mentally, See, thisis where we're one step ahead of
oriole fans. Physically, we maynot have gained ground. Mathematically, we
may not have gained ground, butthis is where the mental warfare is played.
Mentally, We've gained ground on theYankees. Mentally, you get how

(32:07):
does what is you? Mentally gameground? Yes, we're in their heads
now, they're thinking about us constantly. Is that is that the like the
equivalent of a uh, what isa what's a wind? That doesn't really
matter? Moral victory? Ah?Yeah? Is that equivalent of a moral

(32:28):
victory? Is that what you're tryingto are you trying to claim? Right
here? It's somewhere in the sameisland as a moral victory meets a mental
rep as you stand on the sidelinesand watch a play get run. It's
somewhere there. It's in the samespot. That's what you know. You're
a loser when you're when you're callingfor moral victories. Come on, I
didn't say that. I didn't saymoral victory. You you asked what moral

(32:50):
victory was you asked for. I'vetold you what the Orioles did. Mentally,
we gained ground yesterday. That's whatI had said, which is a
moral victory. That's the same thingit is. You don't where's this hold
on? I'm looking at the standingsright now, I'm looking for the I'm
looking for the mentally gained ground category. I see I see last hen where

(33:14):
the Yankees, Orioles, and RedSox are all six and four, as
well as the Blue Jays. Isee runs scored the Yankees two sixty nine.
You guys, not as many runsagainst one's seventy eight given up by
the Yankees two oh two given upby your Orioles. I don't. I
don't see the mentally gained ground category. Could you enlighten me to where I
could look that up? I willsend you the website in the photoshop I'm

(33:36):
gonna show with that. I thinkRyan's working on it right now. It's
a very real stat. The Oriolesare one game up on the Yankees and
mental victories. I'm gonna send youthe stat right now. The razor in
last place, So I'll send you. I'll send you it. I don't
have it right now in front ofme, but I'm telling you it's on
the internet. I saw it onsocial media, on somebody's graphic they made.

(33:58):
Mm hmmm, at least send itto me. But was it I
lovelosers dot com? Now that's that'snot the name of the website. Mm,
it was probably I lovelosers dot comnow here to console all ool fans
as the free fall be begins.You know it's not a loser guys.
Me? Yeah? Well no,no, me, Because I had USX

(34:21):
pest Control at my house yesterday.Oh how to go? Great? Oh
my god? Like the best partabout it, I wasn't there, and
I'll be honest, I forgot ourfriends were coming. I forgot what time
I thought I had time, andmy my only concern was I wanted to
make sure they started checking the theeves and the sofits around the house and
the garage because as it gets warmer, the bees think that's where they live.

(34:45):
And I got my notes from thePlatinum package. You know it did
this, checked the traps, didall the stuff, and checked all the
eves and soffits is around the propertyas well as the garage to make sure
there were no bees. I waslike, this is USX Past control.
How can I think they wouldn't haveknown what to do? USX Past Control

(35:05):
is the best. They're coming overto my place on Friday morning. So
there I am copying you again herethey stop by your place this week Friday
morning. They'll be stopping over tomine as well, doing a great job
as they always do. If you'relooking for those changes coming this summer,
you're looking to make sure your homeis safe. Maybe you know some pets
and guzz on ninety nine Fox SportsRadio. Ah, yes, my friends
alive from the GT Toy studios weregaz is. I am alive from the

(35:31):
Presidential Suite here at MVP Arena untilRoman reigns or whoever else kicks me out
of the building. It's the wW will be taking over this weekend,
but it is time with the dumpguys, I am I think it's it's
it's apra poe two. I've beentrying to clean up my set words for

(35:51):
you. How am I doing?Is that apropos? And is it English?
Is it French? It makes mefeel smart, so is it?
But I feel like it's apropos andthe dump that charges are going to be
dumped or dropped it today for ScottieScheffler. Apparently both sides have agreed not
to seek legal action. And whodidn't see this one coming? I mean,

(36:14):
like, like you blindfolded, wecould have seen this one coming.
It made no sense to pursue anything. Nobody was really hurt except for feelings
and egos. I kind of hada feeling when he even Scheffler was like
like earlier today or late last night, he said something the effect of,
you know, I probably should havestopped, and it's like, oh,
this is one of those Hey,I'll give a little, you give a

(36:36):
little and then all the cases willgo away. Can I sound like an
alien here? From a second?Like, I feel like I've watched this
video a few times and maybe it'sbecause I'm not the bad boy that I
think I am. Maybe I haven'tlived life long enough. I saw the
four minute video. I know somesites have added a three three and a
half. I saw about a fourminute video of the chef thing today before

(36:59):
I cut off. Is that usuallyhow it goes between police officers and victims?
Not the right ard. We'll callit offendees of a potential crime,
crime committers criminals. Because that interactionbetween the police officer who was not injured
the second police officer post event happeningin Scheffler, the whole thing felt like

(37:22):
a teacher scolding a student, almosta bit of arrogance, like, well,
what's the difference in security guard anda cop. We're all wearing the
same stuff. But I honestly like, I don't know if the police officer
was being a jerk, if hewas doing his job, that's how they're
t I felt very naive watching thatvideo. I thought Scotty Scheffler was very
respectful as much as he could.I don't think I have that big of

(37:44):
an ego. I don't think Icould have held my cool during that spot
like Scottie Scheffler could have. MaybeI just don't know, Maybe I haven't
seen enough videos of cops on theinternet or this is how it goes.
I never lived anything that I justsaw there involving Scottie Scheffler. I think,
well, you've you've definitely had.I mean, it's it's a running

(38:05):
with authority, right and and it'sit's a running with authority where they're convinced
their right, you're convinced you're right, and somewhere in between it is probably
the truth. Right. So I'vebeen in this and I just I can't
give you like an exact example ofit right now, but it's just there's

(38:27):
that moment where you back down.There's that moment where you just go,
hey, you are the authority figure. I don't do this because I'm scared
of you. I don't do thisfor any other reason. Then, Uh,
you know what, I just don'twant to get in trouble. I
don't want to keep this going,and I don't. I I think I
think Scheffler did as as much ashe could do, you know what I
mean, And and and you know, to to kind of get where he

(38:51):
thought he's supposed to go. AndI definitely think that the officer could have
could have diffused this whole thing alot easier, and yeah, it's it's
too too people with some ego bashinginto each other, and and you know,
the result is an embarrassment for Valhalla, probably already probably the last time
they were going to get a majortournament because the course is is so is

(39:13):
actually easy for a lot of theseguys, and nobody wants to see that.
And now you have this stuff goingon, so uh, you get
no blood, no foul, everybodyseems to be okay. Uh, and
this is gonna go away. Sowe'll we'll see, we'll see where it
goes next. There's also a partabout intent. You've always told me this,
Like what was the intent? Theguy had a tea time, he
wanted to get to the tea time, he was running late. He wasn't

(39:36):
trying to injure any buddy, Hewasn't trying to be a tough guy.
He doesn't come off as being atough guy in this video, but he
watches Like we talked about this whenthe arrest happened, and you made the
joke that like there's been times bothof us, not just me, more
so me than you have tried tosee how far a media pass can take
us. Whoa you mean can't Ican't be in here my body? Oh
what do you mean? I can'tjust go to the super Bowl with this
pass? You know, you andI have tried to test the limits of

(39:59):
a thing already more than me,you more than me, and that one
I think that's true. I thinkyou've only got uh scolded by the New
York Jets for how close you couldget to the field. Wasn't that you
but me? Yeah? Multiple times? It was ignorance. That was ignorance.
Okay, it was multiple examples ofignorance. Like I told you that
you were running into a buzzsaw,and you just you and God bless you.

(40:22):
You got way farther than I everwould have. You made it to
the actual stadium, which I neverwould have. But you know the layers
of security at this Super Bowl andyou just like acting like you walk through
it was. It was both impressiveand I wanted to smack you the entire
time. Oh that's the thing,Like, even though those are weird and

(40:42):
goofy examples, the true intent islike I want to go cover the super
Bowl. Hey, I want tocover Jets training camp. The intention isn't
a bad thing. You're not tooha ha I fooled you, or ha
ha, I took down that copand wanted to disrupt this potential crime scene.
It was I didn't know. Ididn't know, pleading, ignorance,
pleading dumb. So you know,I'm glad this is clear for Scotti Scheffler.
I'm curious to see what does happengoing forward, if we're ever gonna

(41:05):
hear, if that officer, security, all those other things, if they
ever booked the event again, ifthis causes chaos for the future. I
think all those things are really fairquestions here for me for the Dumpleovac speaking
about chaos and confusion and everything else. I know we've talked a lot about
college sports and the ever changing landscape. But John Calipari is now the coach
for Arkansas basketball, and Dj Wagner, who whatever site you looked at,

(41:30):
was considered the number one player inthe country not too long ago as a
high school recruit, is now decommittedfrom Kentucky and is going to Arkansas.
He's now this sixth player who's leftKentucky to go to Arkansas for John Caliperry
and originally you know me, misterNil mister transfer portal, raw raw athletes.

(41:51):
We I want to get the NCAAfootball video game. We bring back
the college one. Six is alot, you know, in this same
conference. It's the first time whereI thought, wait a second, you
know, I know, I'm misterrah rah about transferring power to the athlete
and everything else. But six ofthem, like all the players are leaving.

(42:14):
Again. I can't. I can'tgo back on my take that I
think there should be more powered athletesin college. And again, just like
an employer can go work wherever youwant, if your friends stick the same
thing, you can do it.What is your reaction to that? That
hearing six Kentucky basketball players, includingone player who is considered the number one
player in the country, not toolong all said bye, We're just gonna
follow coach to another school in thesame conference. It's it's such a tough

(42:39):
thing for me because again, youknow me, man, I'm I'm a
freedom kind of guy. I likeeverybody having the ability to do what their
heart tells him to do. ButI do feel like this transfer portal is
a little too extreme. Like likeguys, you you know, as somebody
who actually played college ball, andyou lived so so close to the Orange.
Where are you at? Like?Is there is this the right way?

(43:00):
Is there? Should there be stipulationson how you can transfer, where
you can transfer, when you cantransfer, how many times you can transfer?
Like or is it just do wejust keep it wild the west to
figure it out? No, toall those things. It's just as odd
when it ends up that way.That's all I'm just addressing. You know,
that's why I got all I pushedto the dump here or it's like,
I know I might not be theoverall voice of how people feel about

(43:22):
college athletics. I like bringing upthese stories because it will have reaction on
social media. It will have peoplethinking, like, huh, so they
just followed the coach and they cango do whatever they want. Yes,
it's America. You can go anddo whatever you want. You want to
quit your job tomorrow and go worksomewhere else and they're gonna hire you.
Great, you have a boss youreally liked working with and they're going to
a new company and you have agreat relationship and they're gonna hire you to

(43:43):
that new company. Go ahead,Now, someone's gonna screw out. What
about non competes? Guys? You'vebeen following the news. They may not
be around as long in New YorkState. I believe Levak and I have
learned I compete clauses arnest. Yeah, might be as worthless as the inc
it came out on if you ripit up and everything else. So yeah,
I'm fine with it. Power tothe people, everything else. It

(44:05):
is just more so maybe a complimentor more so better for the sports,
all of them, basketball, football, baseball, whatever. Then you're just
no longer signing for the color ofthe uniform, like there was a time
in sports where you might have grownup permian or what do we call it
yesterday parmeian Odessa. I'm gonna goplay for long Hoan Ok, I'm gonna

(44:25):
go play for the Aggies like you'regonna go to the How I said for
permium per I don't remember anymore.I'm from a certain area. I want
to go play for the school.It feels like the connections to schools have
never been as strong WHERESO. It'smore about I want to do what's best
for me. I just want todo what's best for me now. I
want to go where the money is. I want to go what gives me

(44:47):
the best opportunity I want to gowhere to the coach is I want to
take care of me. And maybeit's been like that, but it's very
obvious now more than ever before.Well, and look, you know you
kind of talked about like the noncompeting all that stuff and jumping around from
job to job. Your punishment withthat is you start to appear flighty and

(45:09):
better employers will take a pass onyou because even though they think you could
be a special employee, they don'twant to. They don't want the risk,
they don't want to deal with thenonsense of you being gone in two
months or three weeks or less thana year. So like is that I
guess could that be the thing thathappens here is guys who are jumping in

(45:31):
transfer portal to transfer portal to transferportal. You know, maybe it's the
NFL, the AFL, the USFL. They start looking at these guys like
they're a little too flighty, Butthen again they have contracts there, So
really, what's the downside as anathlete for me to keep going to wherever
I think I have the best opportunitypower to the people. That's exactly right,
I'm going to better myself for thesenext four years. That is the

(45:52):
change of the mindset. Hey,I want to win for Alabama because I'm
from Tuscaloosa. I want to winfor this one hurts a little bit more.
I want to win for Syracuse becausethat was born in Central New York.
I want to take the next fouryears and put myself in a better
position than I could have been,and put myself in the opportunity to make
the most money. If you presentit like that to anybody who works in

(46:12):
the American workforce and give them atwenty five or thirty year window of over
the course of the next twenty fiveto thirty years, I'm gonna put myself
in a position to make the mostamount of money and benefit the most.
Ever and say like that's yeah,yeah, Oh no, the college kid
can't do that. No no,no, no, no, no no
no, get back Get back toKentucky, DJ Wagner, I already had
a jersey maid get back there.Nah. I'm fine with it, but

(46:34):
I know not everybody else in collegesports. I mean, can you imagine
sec Reddit boards and Twitter boards.They must be hating on the Arkansas That
is gonna be a musty game whenArkansas plays Kentucky and the Razorbacks. If
all the former Wildcats, how quicklyyou're going to be a booed out a
rupp arena. Yeah, I mean, I'm just I'm trying to give me

(47:00):
an idea to make money on jerseys. What like, is there a like
we need a we need like asuper strong yet like almost non visible velcrow.
So you get like your college jerseyand we just send you all the
numbers and letters and then you canjust you can keep changing whoever it is
as you're sitting home and you know, oh no, Tom Gozlowski the third

(47:21):
just transferred. Oh man, takeall that off. I've always been a
big Jeff Levak fan. Anyway,put that on. I used to do
it all right there, arts andcraft style. I'm just thinking about Penn
State football where it's like, justlet that linebacker, we're five, all
right, but that quarterback where oneno names on the back. You already
know what position you're playing. Kid, forget about. And I do like

(47:42):
your idea a lot better though,Just like a alphabet, you know,
kind of like the Toddlers, likemy kids have, just mix it all
of it in there, throw iton the back. Get it on Shark
Tank. Do college football apparel justa bunch of letters? Just yeah?
It just comes with like I meanit really? Or do you? Is
it just one of those things whereyou don't even actually wear the jersey we

(48:02):
sell you Photoshop so like you justwherever you are. It's like it's a
program that's set up to make itlook like you wear a green shirt and
you just put what jersey you wantto be on your computer and that's what
shows up on social. Just becauseI've got ideas, I need cash.
Well, I think the idea isgreat. I feel like this is more
and more to Shark Tank more Ijust just because I know where you are
and you've been all day today.If Ben Nelson your media, I can

(48:24):
hear us tell us more about photoshop? Ben, how can we make some
of these six foot nine players lookseven foot on photoshop? How do we
get some of these graphics my toptwenty. There's a business there, mister
Nelson and Levac, and I wantin on it. Yeah, well and
listen, it's like Shark Tank.I feel like if we could do this
right, and I wanted the guysit needs to be hold on, let

(48:45):
me do this instead, let mepretend I already have it and see if
I can sell you on it.Listen, it's a super intuitive program Mark
Cuban, where what happens is allyou have to do is sit in front
of your computer and you will beable to, you know, see it.
It'll happen right there in real time. You won't have to change a
buttons. You photoshops for losers andnerds. Is this is interactive, intuitive

(49:08):
technology that makes you a fan ofthe winning player right then and right there
in your social media. I'm justlooking for three billion dollars for ten percent
control of the company. What Ido, mister wonderful? Do you want
it on this No, Barbara,I haven't seen Shark Tank it forever,

(49:30):
man, I missed that show.Yeah, well, and have you what
was the last time you watched it? It is because it's still on right
I think it's still on Fridays.But it's gonna be one of those shows.
I know it already is in syndicationwhere you could watch a Shark Tank
from like twenty twenty four, twentyseventeen. Besides how the hosts look,

(49:50):
you have no idea when that aired, You have no idea and I guess
that's still the fun part of it, Like maybe you know the product if
it's gone far enough that's become supersuccessful. But yeah, I gotta get
back into Shark Tank. It's agreat show. I still wish I wish
we had. I wish we hadlike a little bit of money. I
wonder if we could find a sponsorwhere we could actually like do like Levac

(50:13):
and Gods's versions of Shark Tank.But it's like it's like were you ever
I was in? I was wereyou ever? I was in? Uh?
I was like future business leaders ofAmerica when I was a kid,
And like they we could we couldbuy and sell like manufacturer and sell like
flashlights and stuff that upon how wewant to do. We'd put a business
model together. I wish we coulddo that here locally. I got recruited

(50:37):
like three years ago when people realizedyou and I were going to the digital
route that they wanted. You andI have gone through that scenario. There
was people who are like, youknow what, you could do this,
like you could compete. I'm like, this isn't an invention. I didn't
come up with a product. I'mjust doing a podcast like this. I
didn't invent podcasting, knock it off. I see what you're trying to do.

(50:59):
Local business owners trying to buy someof that company I was running.
So yeah, I would love tobe a part of that. I'd like
to judge anything I told you before. I think you and I, even
though shark tank would be fun,I think not competing get us to judge
more food competitions, keep us inour wheelhouse, boot competitions, more chili.

(51:21):
I feel stereotypical for a fat guy. I mean, did you see
do you see what nineties kids saidto me on X NO so I we
talked about earlier today when I blewmy stack. I just was thinking about
how how much less people are payingattention this year, and you know I

(51:42):
put up that tweet about it botheredme that, you know, nobody's paying
attention. Everybody attention last year,nineties kids said, people love drama.
