(00:23):
that's toys with a Z. Itis the back of guys, obviously the
next the big story. I justuh, I keep going. I keep
going back and forth. Guys likeI think to myself, you know,
hold, don't cash out that championshipwager no matter what. Or you know,
man, you know you doubled yourmoney. Maybe you should run.
(00:45):
And then I realized, I'm allgood. The NBA is rigging it for
the Knicks to win the whole thing. So I'm set. I'm good.
I'm gonna do at least Boston,right. I mean, it's everyone says
it. I can't believe these takes. I don't know if it's just to
like cut through and be like ooh, I want to be unique. I
want to say something different. Iwant to just complain or no, actually
(01:07):
that's it, there's no other orTommy Beer who is the author of What's
on Tap. He's a Knicks fane. He's got seventy two thousand followers on
social media. I loved his tweettoday he wrote, the Knicks have lost
one twenty nine games over the firsttwenty years of this century, the most
(01:29):
losses among all NBA teams the lasttwenty years. Thirtieth in winning percentage three
hundred and forty games below five hundred. Wait, we have to give Adam
Silver in the NBA League Office creditfor the play in the long game.
They did all that to throw everyoneoff the scent that they could fix the
first two games of the twenty twentyfour Eastern Conference semi Finals in favor of
(01:53):
New York because they didn't want thesmall market Pacers to win either game.
The NBA and rigged reffs really committedand thought this one way ahead. Now
that's a level of half sarcasm buthalf truth of stop with everything's rigged in
sports. Knock it off just becauseit's not going to your team's rerec The
league that gets it the most isthe NBA. Now, whether that's because
(02:15):
of David Stern and Tim donneghey andMichael Jordan and the rules of Superstar.
Every single year the NBA gets rigged, foul goes against them, cheaters.
Now the officials obviously have a hugeimpact in basketball. I get in baseball
the balls and strikes, but nowwith everyone monitoring balls and strikes, we
(02:36):
get that one a little different football. Of course, trust us, we
hear the calls and see the tweetsand the Facebook mestort about bad officiating.
But stop with its rigged. Thebest players have gotten hurt, the crowd
is awesome. The team they're supposedto play got two guys. Stop stop
national media trying to drag the Knicksfor the negative clicks. I don't get
you. I don't listen. It'sobvious. Man, Come on, Jalen
(03:00):
Brunson, he's only six to twoor whatever. Come on, there's no
way he could play this good flopping. How dare you? It's obvious.
I heard Charles Barkley or all allthe people. All the people are saying
it. It's rigged, it's fixed. Let me ask you something. If
(03:22):
the NBA wanted New York to bebetter and they were willing to break rules
to do it, remember the rumor, the conspiracy the Temple had was they
ewing. They got you in becausethey froze the envelope. Yes, of
course, frozen envil so that theyknew who to grab when it was the
next turn, so that the Knicksyou get you. Why wouldn't you do
(03:43):
that again? Like, like,let's let's think about this. The best
player on the Knicks was the secondround pick to Dallas. The Knicks had
to cheat to get him, Likelike, legitimately, I'm not you know,
Homer, I admit it. Whatever, I'm glad they did it.
They cheated to get him. Theyhired his dad who was a former Nick,
(04:06):
they started to tamper, they gotfined by the league for doing it
and lost a Draffick. I think, yes, it did it. And
let's also add in this part aboutthat. If you're a Dallas Maverick fan
boy, you gotta be watching JalenBrunts and being like, why do we
let him leave? Like Dallas wouldprobably be the favorite right now that win
the Western Conference. We could pusheven further to the same, maybe it'd
(04:28):
be the favorite to win the NBAChampionship. If Luca and Jalen Bruns,
how do you guard that? Buthe's not there, not not a poopoo.
But again, the Knicks had tocheat to get a second round draft
pick in blue and orange to becompetitive. Okay, then go sign two
(04:48):
dudes he played college ball with,or trade for them and all that.
The only the only first rounder thatstarts for the Knicks is Dante DiVincenzo.
This is not the story of ateam that has been blessed by the league.
This is the story of a teamthat has fought and built and when
(05:09):
hey, we can't get Lebron Jamesdid really come to New York. We
can't get Carl Anthony Towns to come. We can't get these Kevin Durant will
come to New York. But togo to Brooklyn, we can't get it.
We gotta build different. He didit different. If if the NBA
really wanted the Knicks to be good, they or or they were willing to
cheat to do it, the Knickswould be as good or close to the
(05:30):
Boston Celtics. They there right now. This is I love it. It
makes me happy, and I saidit. I'll say it again. If
then, if the NBA, ifyou told them, hey, nobody's looking,
you get to you get to manufacturea game, it would have been
Steph Curry versus Lebron James in thefirst round or playing game or whatever,
(05:53):
because that would have been the biggestthing going. Zion would have been on
the Knicks. Victor Webbin Yanna wouldhave on the Knicks run through a few
Blake Griffin to get as good asthey are right now. They had to
give up their third overall pick toget ogn Andobie who is a who a
historically hurt player. It's hurt rightnow? Like, yeah, I mean,
(06:15):
come on, isn't it fun Knicksfans that are not trying to fool
you Knicks fans by me saying this, But isn't it fun to realize you
don't know what day of the lotteryis this year? Like, Nick fans,
do you have any idea? We'renot trying to fool you, but
seriously, like, what a greatlife to live in when you're not counting
down the days to the NBA Draftlottery. It's less than a week away.
I'll give you that clue. Butyou don't have to worry about that
(06:36):
anymore. That's not the life youlive anymore. No, you don't have
to worry about that. See,I mean, everything we've been through is
Knicks fans and now we gotta listento whenever finally have a good team.
But oh, cheating, they're cheating. How dare you we would have cheated
earlier? And why? Like isit because you know what? I think?
I answered my own why before Ieven said it. It's like,
Okay, why are people know thosemoments where God's debates himself? Yeah,
(07:00):
why are people taking shots of theKnicks unjustly almost to a degree of like
just making stuff up? It's becauseof what you just said and what I
just realized, Like people like Lebronbring their own storylines, the goat,
the legacy, chasing Jordan and blahblah blah Kyrie Durant. Do we have
to run through the stuff that they'vedone off the court Steph Curry, Like
(07:23):
Steph Curry is an all time greatshooter. That's where the narrative. I
think. What's happening, which isinteresting is that the national media was so
used to bashing New York superstars.Let's get Alex Rodriguez, get them.
Let's say that Jeter can't play defense, get them. Let's pick another New
York athlete, Ewing can't get adone choke artist. That's the storyline.
(07:45):
Mellow doesn't pass get up like it'salways going at the New York Superstar for
a storyline. And now that theycan't really like pinpoint any drama, any
hate like Yokid just kind of likethat. We let the show talking about
this about Yokic getting blasted by Shackbecause like Jokicic gives you nothing. Jalen
Brunson's postgame press conference after Game one, I needed to talk about it because
(08:09):
I'm like, when he clinched theseries win and they moved on to the
Eastern Conference SEMIS against India, Iwas like, Hey, that's funny.
He was taking a shot at Kennythe Jet Smith about Caroline and Villanova.
So I don't see that on abrunch site. Like he's not known to
give these great quotes and have thislike huge personnality unless it's the podcast he
does with Josh Harten. Exactly right. Yeah, and like you you talk
(08:30):
about like what you want out ofan athlete, Like I have never met
a head coach who has not atsome point uttered to his team or whoever
you point when things are going right. They did great, we did great.
All that you thumbs back to youwhen things are going bad. I
need to play better. I needto do this, we need to be
(08:52):
better. Never it's it's never mewhen it's good. Tell me the time
you've heard Brunson say me when it'sgood, And tell me the time he
said we when it was bad.That ever, And it's putting people to
knots who cover the next because theyneed some controversy. They want to drag
them, they want to say they'reawful. Like here's a great example,
and this clip I believe has overseven hundred thousand views in less than twenty
four hours. Somebody on the internetdid a back and forth between the stars
(09:16):
of the team, so like JalenBrunson versus Tyrese Halliburton, and the clip
is Tyrese Halliburton singing to a Drakesong in the club where he's like doing
the Taylor Swift hand motions and he'ssinging at the top of his lungs and
he's having a great time. Andthen they cut the Jalen Brunson, who
has a hood over his head withno emotion, just staring at him like
(09:37):
ready to just like go to war. And it's like okay, that's how
one person's taking the finals, andthis is how the other person's personality is.
Like that's the difference. Like ifTyrese Halliburton was playing for the Knicks
and Brunson was on the Pacers,people would find reasons to going to Halliburton,
and Halliburton would talk a little bit. Brunson's on his thing, and
people don't have to do with theNew York Athlete is quiet. No,
(10:00):
it's it's fun. It's Jeter,Jeter. That's I mean, that was
Jeter's deal. You never heard booout of Jeter. And then Judge the
same way. Right now, Judges, Judges get a little chippy though.
It feels like after that ejection,Judge, yeah, I think we well,
you know, listen, I'm gonnado it. I'm gonna get in
trouble. I don't mind. Yougot a mouthy wife. I think you
(10:22):
probably learned a little bit. Youknow. Remember she was the one who
got drunk up and do you knowmy belts ass you know, but an
such and she got all yelly andstuff. And now now they're married,
since then they did get married.Yeah, oh god, I thought you
thought he dumped her. No,no, no, No, that's the
that's the wife. He loves thatwoman. She's probably at home. One.
(10:43):
You didn't speak up her stuff,and and you don't talk enough,
you know to Jentleen Bronston need totalk. You need to tell people.
Did I know who your wife is? Did I know? Been there?
Aaron Judge. That's gotta be hisday, right. She's kindstant yelling and
screaming at him, but starts whenshe gets into the booze. You know
(11:07):
he gets he gets home from thegame. How do you do? Honey?
You did have more home runs?Okay, because I am accustomed to
the lifestyle of MVP. Okay,I want mom runs. Are you okay?
The impression was really good, butat one point there that sounded like
his wife turned into Tony Montanas,like this is my friend, I trust
(11:30):
me and she's just drunk and happy. That's Kelly Indo Tanta stat Right,
it's in that same register right there. Your scar faced impression and drunk Aaron
Judge wife are in that same level. Trust me, Aaron, that's trust
and Kelly at the spot Kelly,I tell Kelly everything, Aaron. She
(11:54):
knows you got a freckle on yourbot told her so it's a big freckle.
It's a tongue. It looks likeConnecticut, Connecticut. It's a tongue
that's keeping it together. I haven'tnot seen Aaron Judge's wife. I don't
know what she's up. She's not, you know, judging her based on
one situation. But why I'm allowed. I'm sure she's a beautiful woman.
(12:18):
I'm sure she's got some things goingon that maybe off the field will follow
her. But I don't remember theNew York media covernr And that's why I
brought that up. You don't remember, no, no, I should rephrase
that, uh more recently. Iremember that story in particular. But do
you know who I am? LikeI, I can't. That doesn't That
never leaves, That never leaves.That's in my brain forever. I had
(12:39):
one of my friends who was waymore popular me on the radio. We
got pulled over and I was drivingand the past here justice the radio.
You know who I am, youknow who he is, you know who
we are? And then I waslike, no, but I'd like to
see her ideas like you shut up. That doesn't help radio person trying to

But last time we talked. Wewere talking a little Nick Celtics trash

right, got it. Let's talkabout your season so far. Man.
Last that we were talking, we'retalking about how important the guard play was
in this season, your team continuingto find success. What has led for
you guys to continue to improve throughoutthis twenty twenty four season. Uh,
(18:33):
we're just just coming together, justworking hard eason every day in practice,
just playing together, playing defense.Our guys could score. We got a
lot of people on our team thatcould score. And then we just added
health back to the team last year. So that's just another guy that could
put the ball on a hoop inrun the point. So you know,
we're just locking in at the righttime. Playoffs is coming up, and
(18:57):
we're just playing some good basketball rightnow. The amazing part about this,
and we've said this about this team, that they have great chemistry. The
guys know each other, they've workedwell together. But it seems like this
year, in particular in the league, the competition, the talent, the
expectations. Every year, it seemslike the bar gets raised. Have you
felt that this season that the talentin this league is just as good as
(19:19):
if ever we've seen recently? Absolutely? You know, the TVO is a
great it's just a great showcase foreverybody. Pretty much. Some people don't
want to go back overseas, sothey just join the TBL. And there's
a lot of great basketball players inthis league. And put the Northeast our
conference. We have some pretty goodteams, some solid teams, US Ready
(19:41):
and the Flying Cows of Maryland,and we're just all loaded with talents.
A pretty good conference for sure.The Flying Cows. Every single time,
see you did it. That's thesecond time we mentioned the Flying Cows and
you straight faced, don't break.Doesn't make you left like people hear the
Flying Cows they break, but theygot talent. Man. Even though the
(20:02):
name is unique and different, itmakes people smile. They got players,
for sure. Yeah it does gotsome players, but it's toping. The
gonna fly out of here because whenthat's how we played them, we gonna
get them out. So I loveit. Man, Join us on the
phone lines. Trev whis you knowhim from the Albanny Patruons doing great things
this season. Don't forget Saturday theeleventh James Town Jack was the Protruders are
(20:22):
on the road. Remember you canfinal Patruons basketball and more by checking out
their website Albany Patruds Basketball dot comand that's where you can find your tickets
upcoming games, all those things andmore for this upcoming season. You know
we touched on the playoff push thatyou guys are hoping to find that foot
and get a little bit closer tothose playoffs. When you talk to coach
and you talk to your teammates,what do you guys feel like are the
(20:44):
goals or the things that need tohappen for you guys to punch that ticket
to the postseason. We just gotto keep winning, just keep playing hard,
and just keep winning. Like Isaid, Oh, we're in currently
a third place. The top twoteams play each other two more times actually,
and and anything you have it.From there, we still have a
chance to be first in our conference, if not second, and regardless of
(21:07):
fact, we're going to make theplayoffs one to three, and then from
there it's just about just grinding andjust winning and then just moving forward.
I love yeah, man, prettymuch. It that's it, man,
that's the mindset. I love hearingthat mindset because so many of these guys,
as the season rolls on and rollson, it's like, Okay,
we got to change something, wegotta do something different, we gotta manipulate.
Now it seems like you and yourteammates are like, we know we're
(21:29):
good, we know we're talented.If we play our game, we can
be the best, if not thebest, in this league in twenty twenty
four. And that's a great attitudeto heaven. It feels like confidence is
the word, but it's a littlebit of like experience, Like, guys,
we know what we're doing. Ifwe play our game, we can
beat anybody. Yep. That's exactlywhen we've been playing basketball for as long
as we have, we know whatwe're capable of, and we know that
(21:51):
we have the team to do it, and we have the team to win
the whole thing. So we justgot to stay together, you know,
put some We got a lot ofgreat basket players, a lot of people
that could put the ball on hooyou can have. We got about eight
players on the team that could literallyput up twenty points a night early,
and we just all just coming togetherand just find the ways to get the
job done as a group, asa unit. So yeah, I think
(22:12):
it is this heading right direction.The Albany Patruons basketball season continues to roll
on. For more information on upcominghome games, check out Allbody Truons Basketball
Dot Common Again they're back in actionthis weekend. All great things, whether
it's the crowd in person, whetherit's grabbing that apparel and more, the
Albany Patunons will continue to entertain youacross the Capital region. As we mentioned
(22:33):
that season, slowly but surely,the regular season coming to the end and
Patruons hoping to get that postseason pushingmore. I love asking these questions.
I've asked this to your teammates beforeas well, that a professional season could
be so different from the start ofthe season towards the end, about taking
care of yourself, taking care ofyour body, making sure you're ready for
that postseason push. How are youfeeling. I know, no athletes are
(22:55):
one hundred percent as you get closerand closer to postseason play, But physically
you feel like you did back inMarch. You got a couple bumps and
bruises along that body as you rolledthrough this year. I'll definitely some bumps
and bruises. But we have agreat team doctor doctor Tim Maggs who keeps
us, keeps us going, keepsus pretty healthy. We also have another
(23:15):
guy Kirop out there being Chris Basswho also keeps us going. So we
had some good We got some goodpeople around us. That's just keeping us
healthy and keeping us going full force. And like I said, we have
a team that has a lot ofdepth, so we're able to kind of
rest a little bit during the gamesand stuff like that because we're so good,
so talented. So always yes,no doubt man always could have stay
(23:38):
healthy and everything else. You know, it was just a few weeks ago
we saw Low's Moore who told usand I'm not going to doubt him about
this because the pictures are out there. He said he had the forty two
inch vertical. He said he coulddunk is about as good as anybody else.
And we love seeing the highlights fromthe patroons. You got some guys
who play above the rim and everybody. I don't think I've asked this before
(23:59):
you or any of your teamates.Who has the biggest hops on the team?
Is it you? Is it somebodyelse who gets up the highest?
You know, I like to givehimself a credit. I called an alley
last game, you know, Butno, it's not me. It's definitely
not me. It's definitely not me. I would like to say that it's
probably I want to go with EdDyson or Arcinio Aaronson, one of those
(24:23):
two guys. Yes, if ifI were to ask those two guys,
would they both argue that they havethe biggers of the other. Would one
be humble enough to get to theother person. It's pretty humble when it
comes to that. They're pretty humblewhen it comes to that. You know,
I Ed is more of a twofoot jumper in our city, was
more of a one foot jumper.So it kind of just depends on what
you're looking for. I think whathappens somebody in a game has to have
(24:47):
the biggest highlight reel dunk. Clay. We saw Obi Topping go between the
legs and one of these playoff games, I think it was Game one,
he went between the legs. Sothat's the difference right there. If those
guys want to claim that they gotthe biggest jump, the biggest hops on
the patroons, you gotta have justsome type of highlight reel dunk that shuts
it down and ends the argument.They both got some highlights dunk. Our
signal called a ali, I meancalled a win the middle last game and
(25:07):
Ed and Ed ketch his two handmonster dunk all the time. So it's
kind of like which one do youprefer? You prefer someone to get a
dumb song or do you prefer thefancy that's that thunder that lightning. That's
exactly right. You can hear allthose protruding thunder slams and or when they're
back inside the armory later this month. But continue to follow them, whether
it be via social media on Facebook, whether it be on their website Albany
(25:30):
Portunes basketball dot com and more.Trevor Weis before we let you go.
We know you're getting ready for moregames on the way this month, but
one more time, tell the peopleacross the Capitol region when you're back at
home, why they got to gettickets, why they got to support this
team. Tell us what they're missingif they haven't seen a Patruon basketball game
this season, and why are theygonna come out and support you and your
teammates and your coaching staff. Man. You're missing a lot of excitements,
(25:53):
you know, and you want tocome to a lot of people not able
to get to an NBA game,But if you come to the Washington Armory,
you go, I feel like you'rejust you're at one with all the
dunks, the three pointers, justthe defense, It's the crowd, just
the just the whole energy inside thatbuilding. Then you kind of know the
whole background in history, if PhilJackson and all these great guys. So
(26:14):

(28:27):
really the return of the conspiracy Zoneto close out this Thursday edition of Lavack
and Guys right here on the Voiceof the Capitol Region Sports Fan Fox Sports
ninety five, nine and nine eighty. It's Lovak and Guz on the Voice
of the Capitol Regions sports Fan FoxSports ninety five to nine and nine eighty.
Clovac, I have to do this. We love the dump. We
(28:52):
love the dump. It has becomeone of our favorite things to do to
close out the show. All thethings we missed and we just dump it
all in one sing. However,I've gotten not one, but two stories
that are sports conspiracies, and Ifeel like we have to bring this back.
So we have two conspiracies to closeout today's show. So much so
I think I have to bring backthe music. We're about to enter the
conspiracy zone again. Oh, youunlock this door with the key of imagination.
(29:26):
Beyond it is another dimension, adimension where journalistic integrity is thrown out
the window. You've entered a dimensionwhere Levekin goes will discuss conspiracies with no
real evidence except what's in their ownminds. You've just crossed into the conspiracy
zone. I've got two. Whichone would you like? First? Baseball
(29:47):
or football slash horse racing. Wait, the football horse racing goes together.
Yes, I'd say that one.Give me the give me the baseball.
I heard from our guy Junior Zachtoday and he goes, guys put the
house on the pirates this weekend.Ooh, And I was like, Oh,
I think I know what he's talkingabout. Paul Skeens, who is
(30:07):
the number one overall pick very recentlyin the Major League Baseball draft. Who
right now, of any pitcher inMajor League Baseball or minor league baseball,
shout out whoever pulled this stat isthrowing harder than anybody else on average.
Right now, He's throwing ninety ninepoint nine miles per hour on his fastball.
He is the hardest thrower of anypitcher in baseball. He's coming up
(30:30):
to the majors this weekend to pitchfor Pittsburgh. However, a conspiracy is
out there about this player. Skins. Are you familiar with the work of
Livy Dunn. I've heard of herfor those who make mildly attractive gymnasts from
LSU. I think mildly is anice way to put it. She is
(30:52):
a internet sensation. She has anincredible following across social media, as she
does the history of sports and theniall might point to her in the Cavanar
Twins as the ones who really sparkedthis interest of things off the court,
off the ice, off the field. Anyways, you get what we're saying.
She is a very well accomplished gymnastfor LSU. She dates schemes.
(31:21):
So the conspiracy went like this.The conspiracy goes that she needed to be
involved in his debut somehow to MajorLeague Baseball because they're dating some people on
the internet. As a joke,said, Hey, LSU's graduation is May
eleventh. There's no way he comesup before May eleventh. May eleventh is
(31:42):
his scheduled debut. Well, thatconspiracy number one here in conspiracy Zone was
the number one prospect in baseball asa pitching prospect throwing one hundred miles an
hour. Called up this weekend assoon as possible to have the Instagram star
from the LSU gymnast team appear forthe It'sburg pirates. I mean, it's
a brilliant move. I would onehundred percent do it like you know what
(32:02):
I mean. Like, so Iget the seam heads, I get the
baseball fans because this dude throws almosta HUNDI then I get everybody else,
creepy old men like myself and everybodybecause she's posting every five seconds about you
know, face cream and this,that and the other thing. It's it's
a win win, You're gonna sellsome ticket. It's a good move.
(32:22):
As a matter of fact, Iwould like to invite Livy Dunn to Monday
at the MVP Arena six thirty kickoff. She is, She's welcome to be
my guest, and I won't evengo near just I want everybody else to
go stare at her and buy tickets. She doesn't date anybody on the Firebirds
though. Yeah. I mean,I was just talking to Sean Lockett today.
(32:42):
He's a gentleman, Okay, anice gentleman, like like number sixty
six in your life. Come on, change things up a little bit,
church going gentlemen. The last timeI saw Sean Lockett, we were having
some gourmet hot dogs together at acertain place that's named after a house but
spelled wrong. That's the last timeI saw Sean Lack. Could you say
doghouse right? Like? Why doyou do that? Why do you do
those things? Why do you dothat? They don't pay for advertising?
(33:07):
I know what. The fans don'tneed to be sitting there going is he
talking about doghouse? Like the listenershere should just be like, oh,
you said doghous and it's over.But now because you did that, I've
said it six more times, soyou you've caused them to get far more
free advertising. I hope you're happy. In fact, I might go there
tonight for dinner just because you saidthat. Shout out the bent over at
(33:28):
doghouse. He's there. You go, oh no, you want to go
with me? Right? I wasgonna promote what they had, but then
I realized that's all right, Sothere we go. So conspiracy one.
You and I both agree on this. I think this one's almost too easy.
Even if she's not there, areyou gonna pretend she's there? Did
you just see what happened in theNFL? Did you just see how the
kids they chief went from being themost mediocre they've ever been to having packed
(33:51):
stands? And winning the Super Bowlmostly because of Taylor Swift. Is this
one of these Steve Jobs things thatpeople don't know what they need until they
actually have it, Like, theChiefs didn't need Taylor Swift, but boy,
look what happened when you had TaylorSwift and the factor. You don't
want to take that back. ThePirates need Livy Dun. The Pirates aren't
on the Chiefs level. They needthe Instagram lsu Gymnast's model to promote the
(34:14):
number one overall draft pick. Becausethe Pirates have had a lot of number
one overall draft picks, some haven'teven reached the majors. Garrett Coles in
there too. Garrett Cole has beengreat post Pirates. Pirates have lost a
lot of great players. At onepoint they look competitive. So we both
agree it's not even a conspiracy.It's almost a yeah, we did it.
You called this out. You gotus. We wanted the very pretty
(34:34):
girl who has a great social mediafollowing. You're pro on our team as
quick as possible. You got us. You get to throw the first pitch.
I mean, let's go get allin on this. All right,
here's conspiracy number two today. Uh, I believe you're a listener of the
New Heights podcast right with the KelseyBrothers. I catch what I can from
it. I don't I don't actuallylike subscribe to it or anything like that.
There's a big controversy with the NewHeights Podcast today because Jenson Kelsey decided
(34:59):
to dive into the horse racing community, and you know how easily they take
criticism and how they won't want toargue. On Twitter, sarcasm spilled over
all and over that quote. Soduring the New New Heights Podcast episode,
Jason Kelsey suggested that the greatest horseof all time, Secretariat, was on
(35:20):
steroids. Okay, so he wrotea paragraph on Twitter defending his point.
Let me just suw it up quickly. Basically, Kelsey said, hey,
look, you probably couldn't track itin the nineteen seventies. There was a
lot of steroids going on in thenineteen seventies. But you're telling me that
a horse who fifty years later hasnever had his records touched and he died
(35:42):
with it in a large heart,and he's still beating people to this day,
fifty years later. I'm just sayinghis thing makes a lot of sense,
and in large tart records have beenshattered that haven't been touched in fifty
years. You couldn't track it backthen as well as he could now,
and it doesn't make sense, Sohe wrote it are going wild. Kelsey
continued to battle on Twitter and battleon Twitter until he put up the white
(36:05):
flag and said, I'm sorry.Everyone wasn't trying to get people riled up.
I really thought it was just knownthat in the nineteen seventy steroid era
was rampant, not trying to takeaway from Secretariat's legacy or anyone from that
era. You're right, without proof, it isn't unfair to assume these things
publicly. I apologize whim. Whatdo you make within hours of Jason Kelsey,
the City Football Hall of Famer,going at Secretariat fifty years later on
(36:30):
a podcast, It's funny, likeit's just you're just making a point that
you probably made over a beer ortwelve a million times before. And again
it's speculative, I'll give you that, But at the same time, it
seems pretty logical, like the rulesand the enforcement has said rules for horse
(36:52):
racing have come light years in thelast like ten years. I'm I'm almost
convinced that He's probably right, orat least was before he apologized the fact
that people are so upset about ahorse that they've never met, they've never
even been in the room with,they never saw like what we're talking about.
We got a bunch of seventy eightyear old old heads on Twitter all
(37:13):
of a sudden going, Hey,you don't know nothing about Secretariat. No,
because you saw a movie about Secretariat. Now you're gonna defend Secretariat.
Guess who doesn't care Secretariat? Guessyou didn't care? Then Secretariat Secretary is
probably like, why is there agiant needle in my butt? That was
like, that's the only thought.It wasn't mister ed wasn't telling people to
think I was with Kelsey before hebacked down Kelsey, I don't know what
(37:36):
he could have done to frame hispoint differently, because do I think Secretariat
was on steroids? No, butI don't really have a lot of evidence
to prove otherwise. Like Kelsey laidout a point. He said, Okay,
here's why I think he could havetaken steroids or it was on steroids.
Here's why he's not. The casefor is much heavier than the case
against. Like he laid out somereally good points of like, hey,
(38:00):
here are the reasons why I thinkhe took performance dancing drugs. I can't
prove it, but I thought weall kind of accepted this. Here's what
happened that I find I have toadmit. I think I forget this because
I do this for a living,and maybe more people assume this of the
craft it is sports talk or podcasts, or athletes or the world. In
twenty twenty four, there are bigjay journalists, Okay, Jim Gagliardi here
(38:23):
in the building, a newshound tothe core. He is a journalist,
Mark Singlace, Michael Kelly, thoseguys report. Those guys have sources.
They have, But it seems likethe world can't draw a line between Jason
Kelsey, media member, podcast host, and big jay journalists. Like I'm
(38:45):
assuming what happens now is that becauseKelsey has a platform, is a media
member, and I think he wasrecently hired to join ESPN Sunday Night Countdown
or Monday Night Countdown, the preMonday night Okay, so the Monday Night
Countdown. Now that he's a memberof the media, traditional media and opposed
to non traditional that he has tolike have sources or he has to have
(39:07):
some type of you can't say that, how there, Like, do people
just assume because he has a microphonehe has to follow these land of the
law. He just had a conversationwith his brother and assume a like I
guess they assume he's a journalist andhas to have more standards. I don't
think that's the case in this world. Listen, people are stupid. I
don't know if you knew this,Like, and it's so funny, Like
(39:29):
I'll get I'll get emails about oneof my jobs and they're very rude,
very sarcastic. I can't believe youguys did this. So I'll pick up
the phone. Hey, what happened? How can I help you? Oh?
Oh you called? Yeah, youwere upset. I'd like to like
to find out why you were said, see if something I can do to
fix it. I mean, well, uh oh oh. It's easy to
(39:52):
be upset in an email. It'seasy to be upset at a post on
on on Twitter, person calls you'relike, oh, I don't know if
I want a part of that.Like, it's just people are Everybody on
the internet knows everything. Everybody there, Like I can't think of her name,
the woman who used to sing GodBless America. They used to play
the recording on the seventh Thing Stretchfor the Yankees, but then they found
(40:14):
out, like forever ago, shesang like horribly racist songs. I found
it interesting that they didn't. Theydidn't ban her music until she was gone
and couldn't go, Hey, look, I didn't want to sing those songs,
or I did want it or whatever, you know what I mean,
Like you couldn't do it. Butthis is a horse, right, So
(40:35):
if if Secretary was still alive andwalked in here right now and I went,
Secretary, you've been accused by oneof the best centers in the history
of the NFL of doing steroids.What do you say for yourself? Secretary
is gonna take a huge steamer righton the floor, and that's gonna be
the only comment we're going to hearfrom the Secretariat. Horses don't care.
(40:59):
People go crazy defending horses, likelike the feelings and the reputation of a
horse, like defend the safety ofthe horse. Yes, that's Bob Baffort.
Take a seat. You're gon.We're making an example of you because
you cheat. You do things thesehorses. There's the right form be mad
at the people who gave Secretariat steroids. Don't be mad at Jason Kelcey for
seeing it allegedly allegedly steroids. No, I'm saying I'm not a journalist.
(41:24):
I believe it. You're with Kelsey. I'm with Kelsey who I was before
you apologize? And also like,like I watched Matthusak and all the NFL
players who were on horse steroids andthey lost their ever lovin but they played
like like demons like I just it'sit makes it all adds up. I'm
sorry. I'm gonna go ahead andcrown this one a not a conspiracy factual.
(41:47):
Whoa, We're going two for twoin the conspiracy zone for facts two
factuals. I have a conspiracy thatI believe has become factual. Hang on,
but before you give that, I'mgonna weigh in on my Secretariat.
Take one more time, go forKelsey. You know what, Kelsey,
it's your show. You can saywhat you want. You weren't being hurtful
or disrespectful, although Twitter will tellyou different about Secretariat. He offered up
(42:10):
a take of Hey, these arethe ways in which I think could potentially
have Secretariat. Ah, we gonnatest him. You want to test Secretariat,
want to dig him up find out? I don't think so. You
already gave me a large tart.We figured all that stuff out. I
don't even know if people get thatworked up about it, like what's gonna
happen because Jason Kelsey suggested Secretariat,the greatest horse ever, might be on
(42:32):
steroids, that they're gonna take downhis legacy. I don't think so.
I don't think that's gonna happen.And let's remember something there's it's debatable,
yes, no, no, notthat, but I'll also go debatable without
that. Where the horse racing capitalof the world is. You can say
it's Churchill Downs, or you cansay it's Saratoga, New York. We
(42:55):
are in what I would consider thehorse racing capital of the world. When
you go to Disneyland or Disney World, I'm sorry, there is a resort
you stay at called Saratoga. It'sall horse race themes, like we're the
horse racing capital world. I meanit, good amount of money promoting and
working with Nira. Secretariat was givensteroids, I said it. Remember that's
(43:23):
levak l e v A. C. K at the chef Levak horse Racing
Community, artmedia dot com. Guesswhat Levek's not gonna apologize on Twitter.
I'll tell you what. If Secretariator one of Secretary's direct offsprings asked me
for an apology, I'll apologize.But until Secretariat or one of the Secretary's
(43:45):
direct offsprings verbalize a need for anapology from me, I will. I
will stand by this, and Idon't care if your feelings are hurt.
You had another conspiracy, I alreadyoffered it up. I think it's come
to fruition. I know, weknow it's real now. Roase to Tom
Brady. One of the things youalmost never see is the roast d going
(44:07):
to a roaster and saying, don'tsay that. Don't you ever believe me?
Say that again? We saw thatThomas Brady went to Jeffrey Ross and
said, Ross, don't make funof Robert Craft because he said that when
Brady was a rookie, he camein his office and he said, the
best decisions organization ever made. Doyou want a massage? And I speculated
(44:31):
that there might be something wrong withCraft, which led to a edict to
not make fun of Craft if he'sgoing to be there, well, I
don't know if what's wrong with him. But Andrew Schultz, who was one
of the comedians the Areas a podcastor Anything's called Flagrant two, yes his
name of this podcast, he hassaid they were given orders to not make
fun of Robert Craft. Happy endingwas not allowed to be said on the
(44:54):
show. So I don't know,Like if it was a great time at
the end, and Kevin Hart waslike, Hey, I hope everybody's enjoying
this. How the ending to theshow, he can't say that. I
think only I know that it means. So we were right, Hey,
we got a rare three for thismay never happen again. Mark this moment
down, pin this podcast, savethe audio. We just went three for
(45:15):
three in the Conspiracies. We saidthis Monday that I guarantee you Brady gave
a list and said things that areoff limits, and Ross tested to see
if Brady like a swings all backhere. The big Jay journalists like pr
people and agents. They tell youall the time you're not allowed to ask
stuff, but you'll always get ina group with somebody who says I'm not
gonna listen to them. I havea job to do. Ask me the
question. If they respond, theyrespond, I get what I want.
(45:36):
If they don't, that, ohwell, what's the worst they can do.
The conversation didn't happen, and Idid my job. It was right,
okay, listen, and Brady said, don't do it again. He
backed off. He saw the instantreaction. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
All right, right, I thinkthat would be the reaction. But okay,
no, you know, he knewexactly what the reactions. That's why
he was ready for it. Heknew it was Jeff Ross is not what
are you gonna do? What areyou gonna do? Beat him up?
(45:58):
Make him look ugly or come on? It's right, it's good. It's
good. All right. So thereyou have it. It's the dump on
a Thursday. Wow, it's alreadyThursday, you know, I almost rid
it was Thursday. Today was oneof my paydays from here, which is
just unremarkable. Like so I justbarely knows the difference, barely knows the
(46:19):
difference. So I have less moneyon my account than when I started.
They're changing, you know, isthat you're telling me? Yeah, I'm
pretty sure did picks this morning?Did the river this morning? Came back
here to do this? Have lessmoneyan when I started, we have about
ninety seconds. How did that go? This morning? River, by the
way, is still missing it.You're supposed to be part of the birthday
game this week. We talked alittle bit today. We talked a little
(46:40):
bit about that. I just Ifelt and I still feel like this is
obviously these brackets have been set forthto find a suitable challenger for me,
you know, like, you know, I know you're not going to be
there, but what Honorado's up forit? He looks like he's close.
I wouldn't mind taking on the machinethat is the you know, the Ginger
(47:05):
machine. He's going for a secondchampionship. He's trying to become a two
time champ. Yeah. Well,once he does that, maybe he'll be
worthy to take me on. Youknow, we'll see. How did picks
go? Picks great? We hada great time, talked a little bit,
talked a little bit about the firebers, talked about a lot of different
words. I can't remember what itwas. I said something that clearly made
quite uncomfortable, But I can't rememberwhat it was. I'm just at this
(47:29):
point in my life, I justdon't care. I had to call a
meeting next week with Picks Fox,our sales team, our promotions team.
The last time I was in ameeting with Cantera and we just talked about
this in Mohawk Conda. Yeah,he did hang up, So hopefully he's
gonna stay in the whole meeting thistime and be like, all right,
you know what, guys, ranthis one. I won't hang up this
time. Your meeting's mistake. Youcan probably I didn't hold the last one.
(47:52):
I didn't do. You're holding thismeeting. Yes, I'm supposed to
be to be at it. Uh, you do not have to be at
it. Gonna those are gonna gotalk more about steroids and horses that have
been dead for fifty years. Wehave to go. We have to get
off the air. Cofido and Richerup next. Wash your hands, will
touch your face, Fox Sports Radiarninety five, nine nine eighty. Guys,
