(00:00):
It's Levak and Guz on ninety fivenine Fox Sports Radio. I I know
it doesn't always sound like it,but I do try to know what we're
talking about before I start talking,Like I do make that effort like I
do research, I do study,I do prep if you will. I
(00:21):
know nothing about this except for that. I'm sorry, guys, it pisses
me off, like I am.I have you ever seen and it's probably
you know what it is. It'sthat it's that immediate first blush reaction to
a post. It's that immediate firstblush react like like you'll get this when
you get when you're old, whenyour kids are older, like you're one
(00:42):
of your boys is gonna come intothe house and go, don't get mad,
dad, and you're gonna get You'regonna your blood pressure, your head's
gonna turn like one of the oldthermometers of the cartoons, like you.
Just the second someone in my familygoes, don't get angry, I'm instantly
ticked off. I mean, it'slike you don't. I don't even even
know what it is. I'm justI'm mad right then, because you have
(01:03):
now warned me that you're telling mesomething I don't want to hear you've warned
me, right. First of all, I didn't know that there was an
under twenty American football tournament in theworld. The Nationals, whoever the hell
it is team and it's not Americanfootball. Okay? Can we just like
(01:29):
it's football? Okay? Oh whatabout what about soccer? That's football,
that's fut it's not foot right,nobody does that football is football? Okay,
American football? But like more insultinjury when I hear it called American
football because the under twenty American theUS I team just lost forty one to
(01:52):
twenty to Japan's American football team.Okay, Canada just beat I don't know
one of these other flags twenty sevento twenty. How the hell list isten?
I don't like to be this guy, right, and these are all
young men, they're all under twenty. Don't come home. You're not welcome
(02:15):
in this country. I don't andus this is irrational. I have no
understanding of how the rest of theworld is approaching American football. But if
there's one thing, we should alwayswin. If we lose a little basketball
once in a while, that'll breakmy heart. But I'll be Okay,
I'll live. I'll survive. Rightif we lost softball, I'll be a
little ticked off. But hey,you know what it's been out there.
(02:36):
We lose soccer, I'm like,Okay, that happened. Huh whatever,
driving anything up? It's American football. Do you know how bad Japan is
laughing at us right now? Doyou know Japan's over there, like like
did you ever see the South Parkepisode where they're talking about dodgeball and stuff
like you have no trouble seeing theball with your big round eyes, Like
they're making like they're making fun ofthem, making fun of us, making
(02:58):
fun of them kind of thing.If I'm Japan right now, I'm just
like, we win. Yeah.You may have abused us in a war
or two in the past, youmay have whatever, but we win now.
We just took the thing you careabout more than any American football is
America's pastime. You can't. Ifeel like I should be able to go
(03:21):
grab the team at CBA or Shakeror even my album Marstyle County. I
should be able to drop them inthis tournament and they should win it.
Well, remember when Team USA beatIndia and cricket and people are heard like
this, Oh, nobody cares aboutcricket. This is football, guys,
the grid. Iiron What I meantby that was like that was a big
(03:44):
deal, Like that was huge.Here's what's happened. And I will use
my my dear friend from Bank andSolving, New York as an example of
this, and he will fully admitthis, and this is what happened to
this story. My friend Jesse willfully admit he's like, I see a
lot of stuff on the internet witharticle. I don't click the article.
I make my opinion from the headline. I will make my This is what
(04:04):
happened with this story. Chef's kissof a perfect way to erupt on social
media because I had to google thisbefore we got into this topic of So
wait, wait, wait, soit's American football. But I thought football
was allowed in the Olympics. Oh, this must be a qualifier. No,
no, no flag. Football isgonna be in the twenty twenty eight
Olympics. Okay, so this isthis is the under twenty American Football World
(04:30):
Championships. So until moments ago,earlier today, I had no idea that
existed. I don't know. Istill don't even really understand the concept of
that, and that's really important here. How dare you because I couldn't.
This is the thing I care mostabout in the entire universe that I just
found out about ten twenty minutes ago. I couldn't tell you a single player
(04:50):
on that team on Team USA.Now what according to what Reddit's telling me?
You know, you joked around aboutCBA and Shake and anybody else,
they actually might have high school playerson the team for Team US. Say
what is actually a high school senior, according to Reddit, who's decided to
commit to Bethany College in West Virginia, a Division III school at six hundred
(05:15):
and fifty students. Another quarterback?Again, this is I'm getting my information
from where most people get their informationfrom squirrel q esquire on Reddit. That's
basically like, that's the Tony Romoof under twenty football. You didn't know
that you love the comments? Yeah, this is more embarrassing than Pearl Harbor.
(05:38):
Oh no, I better not seea single one of those players step
foot on US soil after this?Is this because we beat Pakistan and cricket
and now that Pakistan not India?Darn it? Wait a second, who
wrote that comment? Maybe they're wrong. I don't know Elie Desh. According
(05:59):
to more of my research I didfrom squirrel q esquire on Reddit, he's
claiming that the backup quarterback for TeamUSA is a college freshman at Florida Atlantic
University who had quote hopes of walkingon but didn't make the roster, while
the third string quarterback for Team USAis a sixteen year old who was reclassifying
back a year in hopes of gettingrecruited by anybody. So we've got a
(06:24):
D three kid, a kid whotried walking on but didn't make the team,
and a sixteen year old who said, actually I might be too young
to play at this level, letme go back a season. So,
uh, we're not knowing any ofthis. We didn't really put out exactly.
Hold on, I ask you aquestion. Okay, where do you
think the talent pool for the Japanteam came from? For all I know,
(06:45):
this is the best Japan has tooffer. Yeah, but it's American
football, Like like a lot ofthese guys are probably I imagine in my
mind your see the old eighties moviesBest of the Best where they put together
this martial arts compete team from someragtag guys and whatever, they train them
up. That's what I feel like. I feel like Japan. They just
(07:06):
rolled down the street in a minivanlike that mom in the in the commercial
where she picks up the kids togo help her kid play football. Minivan
rolls down the street. Who wantsto play American football? What's American football?
It's it's like rugby but better.I mean, I was giving a
shot. All great, we gotkaz or whatever, I don't know,
whatever the name is. He's partof the team. Now we're gonna be
(07:28):
good. He's an amazing ping pongor whatever the hell it is. Like,
saying that we got kids who playedAmerican football should mean we win the
worldwide American football competition. That's themost American take of all time. Us
say, us say it is,all right, if it was an under
twenty sushi competition. I feel likewe get our butts kicked. I'm just
(07:54):
trying to think, like, like, what's more stereotypically American than football?
Hot on eating contest? And lookwe lost one of those not too long
ago. All right, here's here'shere's where, here's where it gets rof
Here's where, Here's where it stings. Here where it hits you in the
old goodie pouch. Japan beat USforty one to twenty to advance to the
(08:16):
championship game where they'll face America's hatCanada. So so we we literally have
to cheer on Canada because at leastwe taught them football. Their game is
a little different than ours, butwe taught them football. So we have
to cheer on. We have wehave to hope that Canada goes out there
and wins for US over Japan.Sir, sorry about your luck. Boys,
(08:41):
We got you though. We putdown the hooky sticks. We're ready
to go ice cold Molson's on usafter we win it all for you.
Okay, sorry about your luck.You know what Team USA is here?
They are potentially you know what,they will be the biggest losers ever.
Sort of the next version of Bishop'sSycamore. No no, no, no,
(09:01):
hear me out here. Maybe itis Bishop Sycamore. This is it
like Bishop Sycamore the BS High thepiece that was done on HBO, a
fake high school. People cared aboutBishop Sycamore when they watched them get destroyed
on national television. They could havelost that game one hundred to nothing,
and the broadcasters on the game,were like, we really can't find anything
(09:22):
to confirm anything that happened. Butpeople became more interested about what Bishop Sycamore
was days and hours after the game. This is what is going to happen
with Team USA. The headline catcheseverybody's attention. Japan beats USA. The
highlights of the offense that Japan isrunning, which looks like something between a
(09:43):
twelve year old with a controller tomake his own playbook and somebody drunk on
Thanksgiving forgetting where you're supposed to lightup the players. That was Japan's offense
that was going viral with these tweetson TikTok and Instagram. So this is
where it sits. Now you getthe viral talk of this, and soon
the research will be done. Peopleare like, why did this third string
(10:05):
quarterback never graduate high school? Howdid this ever even become a team.
It is going to be more interestingfor some people to figure out what happened
post because I'm not getting caught upin the headlines. This is a classic
twenty twenty four story. Canada goesto the finals against Japan. Team Japan
beats Team USA and I can't namea player they got me, but I'm
(10:26):
not going to fall for it.They may be interested in this story,
but I'm not going to reshare it. How about this comment that's because Americans
are soft nowadays, the young ones. I mean, ouch. Wait,
the name of the country is inthe name of the sport. How about
that? Huh? I mean,is this going to motivate people for flag
(10:46):
football in four years from now thatwe have to destroy every team? Here's
a good shot for you. Here'sthis is a good This is a well
veiled shot at American culture for theway the rest of the world looks at
us. But wait, what arethe Japanese players pronoun like? That's like
trash talk? Oh my god,that's great trash talk. Do any of
(11:07):
em have NFL contracts? Like?I mean, is it under twenty?
So no, they wouldn't. Butuh, every half decent US player under
twenty has college commitments. Yeah,but that's excuse. Here's one if this
dude just tries to explain it.Japan actually has some American football culture,
same as Canada. They're like onlytwo other countries with some sort of stake
(11:28):
in this sport besides USA. Butagain, it's ours like it's ours,
like it's not yours, it's ours. Like everyone runs, we lose the
track, Okay, we lose atrack that sucks. Everyone runs, everyone
(11:48):
jumps, everyone does these things.It's American football. Like you imagine if
it was like, oh my god, US beat Japan and Japanese swimming,
like I would be like, oh, all aout. Now is this how
it takes? We're back in likenineteen seventy six when the college kids finally
lost to the pros of the SovietUnion and moles guarantee. Do you think
(12:11):
this was how it was when Americastarted losing in the Olympics to other baseball
teams because baseball was America's pastime.Yes, I feel like I'm living in
the new version of that now withthis odd story about non collegiate players who
might be teenagers losing to players whothis is their moment for. But this
(12:31):
is everybody's under twenty in this.This isn't even the Olympics. And listen,
I don't know what you just saidthat doesn't ring immediately into Those who
don't learn from history are doomed torepeat it. We've lost baseball to Japan
and the Dominican Republic and the MiddleAmerican countries, Central America. We've lost
(12:54):
it to them. Do you wantto lose football now? Do you want
Racks and West and whatever? Babythem? Trey? What are baby three?
Do you want? Do you wantthem learning? They gotta learn Japanese
to play American football? Is thatwhat you want? Sir? The presidential
debate is tonight, and if theydon't address this, I'm not voting for
either one of them. I wantto you want to make America great again?
(13:16):
How about making American football undefeated again? As a fellow president, Levac,
you are taking a stand right now. I'm throwing my hat in the
ring to coach them up. I'mrunning for I'm running for president of United
States of America, and my mainplatform is that we will never lose an
American football tournament again. You us, hey, you us a a chicken
(13:39):
in every pot, a car inevery garage, and we'll build garages.
Everyone gets a garage. I don'tknow if you have a home or not.
That doesn't matter. We're gonna giveyou a garage, and I allowed
to lose living in it. Yougotta put a car in it, and
America will dominate the world of Americanfootball again. Never again will you have
to sheepishly and shame fully look atyour child and say, hey, we
(14:01):
just lost forty one to twenty toJapan in pigskin in American football. Hey
we lost forty one to twenty toJapan. What were we playing? Dad?
Was it shuffle board? Ping pong? What now? Corn Hall?
How dare you you hush your mouth? We'd never lose that. No,
it was American football, and theypass out. Fainting couches around the country
(14:24):
are being filled by disappointed and embarrassedmarkeans. Now, let me legally say
Fox Sports ninety five, nine andninety does not the endorse the candidacy.
I want Jeff Leavak for the Presidentof the United States of America. I
can't get endorse by my own station. It's ridiculous. Maybe Lily and David
Fine Jewelers Shops of Wilton can endorseyour candidacy. Lavact and Proud sponsored the
(14:48):
show. They've been with us fora long time. They may be a
part of this. They want rings, they want championships, they want you'd
have a great summer and maybe makethat proposal that someone's special. They can
help you through the process. It'sthe shops at Wilton. Stop in and
find out if you're gonna celebrate thatanniversary coming up, maybe that engagement.
Maybe a holiday July fourth, maybeyou celebrate that. I don't know what
you want to do with your certainsetups for holidays. I don't know.
(15:09):
Maybe you want to celebrate America andget down to watch football. You want
to celebrate football, And right there, Lily and David find Jewelers is a
great place. That's it. That'sa family owned and operated American business.
You're damn right. It is myfriend. And they take pride in what
they do, and they take pridein what you do. They're even they're
so good at what they do.Goz is actually married. If Godz was
(15:33):
left to his own devices, asmuch as that lovely Jordan loves him,
she would have run down that beat, screaming when he asked if. But
she had the right ring in frontof her. She he was coached up
and they got it done. Ifyou like America and you like people,
you want to ring. Lily andDavid find Jules is the place for got
a nice ring to it if youwill get it there. I could see
(15:56):
the future coming by the way Icould feel it first, it's this but
USA, he's getting back on Americanfootball. And now this is how locally
you could support maybe local athletes.Have you heard about this story that's going
on a little west of us aboutit could be coming to the Capitol region?
Is it about football? You'll findout next? All right, Fox
Sports ninety five nine nine. It'sLevac and guzz on ninety five nine Fox
(16:21):
Sports Radio. Alrighty man, therewe are cruising through this so Thursday.
Wow, this week has been afly by Thursday editional back, guys right
here in the old l GT toysto see this Toys of the zet.
What do you look constipated? Rightnow? What is that? What is
that? Fai? You're gonna pop? Is he gonna run? Is he
(16:45):
gonna beat road? Jim working on? Like Tony Romo? I feel like
I'm Tony Romo. Sometimes it's thisEddie Lampkin story. If you missed it
earlier in the week, you mightnot even be familiar with the name yet
of Eddie Lampkin Junior. You mightknow, is hey, who is that
guy that Syracuse signed out of theportal, that committed then decommitted, then
recommitted. That's wearing forty four.That Derek colemansol Eddie Lampkins's name. Quick
(17:08):
little update here, Levac, butbefore I give the details in the payoff,
there's a big nil story I thinkthat's rumbling about two hours west of
US that could potentially happen here inthe Capitol region at some point if you
were given nil money. So there'sno judgment here. If you were twenty
one or twenty two years old andyou signed for a different college and you
(17:30):
got I don't know how much,but a significant amount of money, we
would assume is there anything quickly youdo with it? If I had a
bunch of my what would do quickly? Like if you were twenty one or
twenty two, Like, what wouldbe the first thoughts of what you would
probably do at twenty one or okay, car car, well twenty one,
twenty two? Something for mom ina car? Yeah, I would be
very cliche. I'm struggling to thinkwhat I would do. But i'd probably
(17:55):
go car as well. But I'msomebody, Yeah, you know what car
would probably be mine. I don'tthink I would open up a restaurant.
Would you open up a what arethey called cloud kitchens. Is the term
have you heard of that? Oh? Is that that's where the that's where
the online searches right, so likeso like there's like a there's a ghost
Wolfgang Puk restaurant, Guy Guy Fieri. I think that like Hooters, is
(18:19):
two different things. Like if youlook on like the apps, the food
delivery apps, there's like Hooters andthere's also like a Burger. It's like
a it's got like a Burger name, like because the places, that's what
they do, so that the appknows how to search each thing because they
like they grade each thing on thefood it's most known for. I believe
no. I think that's the conceptof a cloud kitchen utilized as a commercial
(18:42):
kitchen for the purpose of preparing foodfor delivery or take out with no dining
customers. I want to make sureI got that definition out there, because
what happened after the Eddie Lampkin's isgonna unretire forty four and people are all
worked up because of the history andtradition of that number. And I know
there's been a lot of takes outin the Central New York the west side
(19:03):
of this about Let's let the kidwear the number, and you know me
never. If it's retired, it'sretired unless someone gives you permission to wear
it. Don't try to find yourselfin controversy like you are now all of
a sudden, Right after the storyof Eddie Lampkin wearing forty four, within
forty eight hours, Sarrahcuse dot comran a piece about, Wow, have
(19:25):
you visited Eddie Lampkin Junior's cloud Kitchen? It's now featured on North Salina Street
and here's a huge So. Idon't know if Syracuse University paid for that
story. I don't know if justodd timing of when the story came out.
I don't know if the author said, woo, now's a perfect time
to capitalize on that story I had, And then I had this story waiting
for a while, so I wouldassume I hate to do this the assumption,
(19:49):
but I was sued. If you'retwenty two years old and you had
money, maybe you wanted and hesays this in the article on series dot
com. He wanted more Southern foodthat he was used to. He wanted
a way to find it. Hefound a chef. He doesn't want to
be a cook. He opened upa cloud kitchen to make some money in
Syracuse. I'm surprised, Levak,you've worked in kitchens before. Yeah,
(20:11):
would you have advised him as atwenty two year old to potentially take your
nil money to open up a kitchenin Syracuse? Yeah, if you If
you thought there was a vacancy inthe market, absolutely like that would see
twenty two year old me, thatwouldn't have happened, I don't think.
But forty seven year old me ifI stumbled at a bunch of money.
There's a couple of people out therethat I'm looking at him going like Boston
(20:33):
Dan. I'm looking at Boston Danand going Okay, you and I have
talked about restaurants for years. Now, what do you want to do?
Do you want do you want tojust do you want to just take over
this franchise here? Do you wantto open something? What do you want
to do? Because I can nowbankroll it, I'd run right to Andy
Gelcher and Mike Khorda, Hey,I have money, what do you want
to do? Like, there's peopleI would because I know it would grow
(20:55):
the money, and it would growmy ability to make more money. I
plead that I'm naive in this businessworld of restaurants. But it would feel
like as an outsider that that isso incredibly competitive to find a way in
which you can find a niche ina city. And maybe that's what he's
going for, if you're going toturn a profit, not saying you can't
(21:18):
do it, but there are certainways in which we've heard stories of athletes
bombing out with restaurants and everything elsethat I don't know if that's the safest
way to do it. But maybehe's not concerned about safety. He's like,
I got money to spend. I'myoung, I want food that I
want. I found somebody could makeit, and I play for Syracuse.
Now guess what. I didn't haveto spend money on marketing because people know
who I am and you just readan article about it. Anyways, thank
you for the free publicity. Well, not to mention if i'm if I'm
(21:41):
right about how this works. You'rebasically making a different style of food in
a kitchen that already exists, andthat means that you don't have the overhead
of building a kitchen. You don'thave to if it's all delivery. It's
not like how many tables can youoverturn and how long? Like it sounds
(22:02):
like a lower risk version of launchinga restaurant. Also, this is how
easily I'm influenced. I'm like,Wait, a Syracuse athlete has a restaurant
that I've never tried before with food. I mean I might try it.
And if that weren't for somebody wholives in Albany, I wonder how his
business is doing today. Now,maybe there's a turn of guard. Maybe
you want to play and be endearingto the fan base around the play in
(22:25):
front of And again I'm just usingEddie Lampkin because this could happen in Albany
realistically, somebody who signs an NILdeal with Sienna or you all, but
he could open up a restaurant,a cloud kitchen, a business, and
I wonder how often Great Dane orSaint fans or Union College fans might support
it. Eddie Lampkin had gone tosocial media, though, and tweeted this
from his ex account at Eddie Lampkintwenty five. The irony that it's twenty
(22:48):
five at not forty four? Uh, Orange Nation. I don't appreciate all
the hate comments and negative energy.Keep it at one hundred. Y'all y'all
disted me on social media and ona podcast like do y'all really know who
I am? Is that podcast tome? By the way, wait a
second, that beat towards us.We're on a radio show. I did
tweet out the link though. I'mthe most respectful person you'll ever meet any
(23:08):
ding any time. I didn't comehere for money. I came here to
win a championship with my team onehundred. I delete everything on my Instagram
because that's what I do. Ifyou know me, I always clear my
IG when I'm hurting and thinking aboutmy brother heartbreak. We don't know his
brother was murdered in twenty twenty two. A former stand out for Oklahoma football
basketball comes after my family and God, John Wallace and Derrick Coleman, I
(23:33):
mean no disrespect. So it lookedlike he was pandering a little bit to
the Cerius end. But the comment, but the comments are super positive in
his favor. A lot of fanswere like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
you're supporting Syracuse. We want youto play well. We're backing off
the forty four takes. Some havenot backed off the forty four take,
so it's weird. Like usually inthe world of sports, it's like,
(23:55):
how dare you? Like, youknow, we came off a Yankee Met
conversation from the last couple days,like how bad some Yankee fans were played
in some markets turned negative. Itseems like there were in a new world
where it's like, yeah, we'renot happy you're wearing forty four, but
we'll support your restaurant and we'll giveyou a love on social That seems like
a nice way. This seems likea nicer, kinder, chedler sports fan
out here for now, you know, for now, like he it's it's
(24:22):
it is ah. The post itselffeels a little yeah, a little bit
like pity me, look at me, don't bully me, you know,
I mean it does feel that way, like to bring up the brother and
all that stuff. But look man, whenever he however, he uses to
use it and people want to interactwith him, go ahead. But I
think the in this in this dayand age, him tweeting out no disrespect
(24:51):
to Colman and is that kind ofwell is that count? The count has
reached out to them, see ifit's okay to wear the forty four.
It's because it's an apology. It'sa public apology basically, you know,
thinking back on this down with alittle bit more perspective about more and more
details coming out, this seems likepreposterous to some people. Eddie Lampkin was
(25:14):
originally from Houston. Now there's reportshe's from Virginia, but he played in
Colorado. He may actually not know. He may have not actually known about
John Wallace and Derek Coleman. It'spossible he might have been whoa, whoa,
whoa, wha wha. No onetold me I'm not from here,
guys. I'm not a huge collegehoops northeast man. So maybe this should
have been Adrian Autry, John WildeHack. Somebody should have told the kid,
(25:36):
like, hey, you know you'regonna so I would say, yes,
it's an apology, but he mightplead ignorance and be like, whoa.
I honestly didn't know. I didn'tknow it was retired. I didn't
know this was such a big deal. So I don't think it's from him.
I think it should have been someoneshould have reached out to them or
maybe said hey, man, likewe said the other day, hey,
if you're gonna wear forty four,let's shoot a video on social and you're
(25:57):
gonna call it Derek Coleman, You'regonna call John Wallace. I think those
guys would have been like, Wow, that's a really cool thing that this
impact six eleven kid wants to wearmy number. They could say no,
they come off as the jerk atthat point, or hey can you wear
forty five? Right? So saidsomething. I mean if that if that
was like, I'm trying to thinklike what we would do here? So
(26:21):
if next year I'll I have afun one, We'll do a fun one
here. Okay, yeah? Pleasedo I've got to you any other ones?
My kids are in the Scotia GlenvilleSchool District, Joe Kremo and Zach
Buyer in the Scotia Hall of Fame. I think it would be fun one
day if one of my boys decignsto play basket college. I hope he
does. It would be fun ifhe called Joe or Zach and said,
(26:44):
hey, can I wear your number? Rather than like, come on,
guys, you know what this.I don't think Zach or Joe body started
to do that, but it wouldbe a lot more fun and entertaining and
be like, hey, man,I think it'd be cool if they war
your number, Like, that's theway I would do it. If you
know, it's just like, hey, now we're having people follow a program
who have done this in the future. All right, So for Albany Arena
(27:04):
football, if you're gonna wear seventeen, people are gonna think you're being Ntty
Brown, you know what I mean. So we haven't done it. It
was not like even on purpose.No one's asked for it, so we
haven't. We haven't had to crossthat bridge, but it is, you
know, it's one that we ifsomebody asked me for seventeen, Like if
when you know, coach Ware andI were sitting there putting everything together the
of the year, So hey,I wanna wear seventeen. I'm gonna look
(27:26):
at coach wear and go should wetake certain steps? Should we at least
inform this individual what they're getting ordo you just go with it. It's
a new team, it's a newownership or whatever like, But that conversation
will be had. I'd like tobelieve somebody in the Syracuse front office went,
hey, we know forty four iskind of a big deal, right,
Like that's that's why I want tomake this too political on the day
(27:47):
of a debate, but hopefully peoplecan realize this and even time. My
name is Goz and I had apoly side degree. There's a presidential debate
today. I don't know if youknew that, I knew that, which
you know that? Which airs atour sisters station GYT nine o'clock. Our
coverage gets underway well after we're gone, so you can you're allowed to go
listen that. Just because you agreeor disagree with one part of something doesn't
(28:08):
mean you have to do it foreverything. Like I can disagree I don't
think any lampin should wear forty four. This should have been handled totally different.
But I can support his restaurant,I can go to his cloud kitchen,
I can give some love on socialJust because somebody does something in one
way doesn't mean everything they do nowthey're the worst, all right. I'll
wait for the hate mail to comefor that. It's God's at iHeartMedia dot
(28:30):
com. Thomas Goslowski. I Iat iHeartMedia dot Com. I would be
so down for this to happen though, that like, at some point in
the next few years that we geta kid who's playing in college and one
of the local university says, hey, Loovac, guys, do you want
to come be a part of thisdeal that I'm setting up with my nil.
I'm trying Saints march on. I'vetalked to you guys before you albny.
(28:52):
Whatever you want to do, union, let's make it happen. Let's
see it going forward. Speaking aboutbusinesses, speaking about making new connections,
speaking about skills. That's it more. Who knows, maybe express employment professionals
might be a part of that andhelp these businesses continue to grow and they
find those new opportunities. But foryour business, I would be like,
no, I just want to makesure I don't take Jordan Morriano's number.
So I don't want his number.I don't want to be disrespectful to the
(29:12):
man, but he said his number. I thought about the Jordan ron On
Star. I don't want his actualphone number because that's the name of Jordan's
wife and we've not but sure enoughto handle that. Guys. But I
will tell you this if you don'tknow that story. Basically what happened is
because Jordan is the first name ofGouz's wife and also one of the best
(29:33):
giants reporters out there. Guys justrandomly decided to text Jordan ran on,
Hey, I'm going to the bathroombasically I'm cleaning up a little bit for
you, and he went, Idon't think he talked to us for like
a month, and then he finallyhe still talks to me. He doesn't
talk to Goz. Now he congratulatedme when we got back on the air,
but not Gouz. So we're afraidof Jordan. The other Jordan from
(29:56):
Express we get. But I willtell you this, this Jordan from Express
is not the kind of dude whowould be like ignore. He would be
like, what the hell's the matterwith you? Yes, what he's told
me. He doesn't want my number. But he's a good dude. I've
heard the stories of him taking latenight phone calls from people who's connected with
businesses that are in a bunch ofcram like I need somebody, needs somebody.
(30:18):

Guy's Fox Sports l You're ninety nine, nine eighty. It's Love Aking
douz on the voice of the CapitolRegions sports fan Fox Sports ninety five to
(31:04):
nine and nine eighty live in theGG Toys Studio. That's Toys with a
Z. I was stuck in atraffic jam earlier today and seven. Yeah,
I want you to know what wasgoing on because I was. I
told you i'd be here and Iended up being about thirty minutes late because
I was stuck any thing and Iwas next to This is how my brain
(31:26):
works, This is why, thisis why my life is so expensive.
Okay, I'm next to I can'tthink of the name of the company,
but the truck he was rid onthe side of the truck and they like
do golf cart repair. So theyhad two golf carts on the thing.
And I'm like, I need agolf cart. I wonder if GG twice
would get me a golf car,like like I could, I'll buy it.
You know, I just want agood golf car. I want to.
(31:48):
I think, where the hell amI gonna drive a golf cart?
I have? I have less thanan acre, you know what I mean?
Like I don't have an acre,Like I live in Latham, I
don't have. It's not like it'snot like I got a Boddy who has
like like he lives not far fromme, but he has it's like a
compound. He needs a golf cart, right, he needs one to get
around his yard. I don't.I barely mod't a golf cart. But
(32:12):
I'm I'm gonna at some point I'mgonna own a golf cart. It's just
gonna happen. The idea of youdriving around your neighborhood in a golf cart's
hilarious. Like the mayor just likewaving to people. Hell everyone, white
hat on. I liked all thekids. I like taking walks around her
neighborhood. We have a very nice, friendly neighborhood. I think everyone's still
friendly. I'm not allowed to talkabout jungle boy anymore. He got shut
(32:34):
down. Dad wasn't too happy aboutthat segment. But your dad was.
I don't blame him. He wasa little concerned. Oh oh, he
I'm mat you. He just doesn'tlike that it's happening. No, no,
and he wanted to have a nicetalking with him. I'm like,
Dad, I gotcha four control.I just I am mentioned tg too out
(32:57):
there in a full gilly suit,hiding your backyard, not even telling you.
And the second jungle boy comes aroundthe corner with a ten hunder his
arm, he gonna pop out andme like, what are you doing so
my neighborhood. I believe still likesme. But the golf cart idea of
driving around the neighborhood in a golfcart is hilarious. You and I have
gone to training camps, yeah,where older coaches have done the golf cart
(33:21):
thing like they're right, Like youknow coach is coming because he's riding around
on the golf cart and coach Catuso, I believe the late Bobby Boden used
to do that. Other coaches,coach Bob Ford muld have done that too,
like the golf cart, which butthere's huge practice fields, Like you're
trying to go station to station,player to player. We used to do.
One of the stations I worked at, they used to do a concert.
(33:43):
Let's just call it country Fest,just so we have a name for
it. And we would have golfcarts for the ultimate fairground. And I
never had my own, quote golfcart, but I would steal everyone else's
and I'd be gone for as longas it took to do whatever I had
to do. Like at one yearwhen we were sponsored by like Oreos,
like a new like Oreo Cris orsomething that we had boxes and boxes Oreos.
(34:05):
So I'm driving them out to themain highway to give them the police
so that they have them, andeverybody's like, we're like you get you
hear on the radio, where thehell is my golf cart? I'm like,
whose voice was that? Oh?That was Bob osfelt I better get
this one back, and I wouldalways tie something on it, so I
knew which one I got. Bythe end of the day, I'd have
mall. Golf carts are awesome.They're cool, they're fun. You could
(34:28):
fall off from the last time Iwas on a golf cart, was it
That's Weathery' fun at the Hideaway?I can't remember. I think it was
I was in the cart with Girka. Oh, he's a moron when it
comes to I think you were inthere, mad Man with Chad though,
when we were getting a tour ofSerotoga Lake Golf Club's course at that point.
But it was just almost killed mein a golf cart. Oh okay,
it was. We both did thetrip with him, all right.
(34:51):
No, I love golf carts,so, like you said, I was
stuck in that traffic. I'm shocked. I don't. I haven't made a
down payment on a golf car yet. If I wasn't looking at an RV
right now, I probably would have. I probably would have a golf cart.
Did you see what happened in theDodgers dugout in yesterday's game show?
(35:12):
Heo Tani the the seven hundred milliondollar man standing there, A foul ball
comes rocketing in his direction. Imean a menacing full ball show. Heyo
Tani? What is he? Sevenfoot tall? He's a huge dude,
A huge dude. Big guy dropsto the ground just self preservation, just
(35:34):
hides. And I don't know ifthere's enough heroes in this world, but
there was one in that dugout andthat was the batboy for the Dodgers.
This little guy catches the ball barehanded, and you see it. That
thing hits his arms like recess whenhe catches it. Saves the life of
show. Heyo Tani. This justthen he's now his translator and has been
given four million dollars a week tobet with. It's amazing. It's amazing.
(36:00):
That clip is amazing. Did youshare it on Twitter at the yes
before the show wraps? Try toshare that at the Jeff Levac and somebody
could see it because it's going rightfor his face. Whoever's the camera man
or a woman who had that angleready to go, shout out to you
as well, and know if you'vegot no Tani cam. But that is
a direct shot, not to likethe hip right into the nose. Oh
(36:22):
TONI probably would have missed at leasta month if that thing hit him in
the face. The kid is like, doesn't even like I would have turned
around and like, Tani, whatup? You can't catch a ball?
This kid turns around, hands itto one of like the dughouse, the
dugout attendant, and just like nodshis head like yeah, I caught it.
(36:45):
And then you see Otani come aroundthe corner like in awe of this
kid, just like do you gamble? Uh? And he was like and
like the fist bump, that's it. And I don't know who. It
might be a doctor or some there'ssome dude in a Dodger pullover and he's
oh face like it's it's impressive.Everybody's up the kid. Probably he's probably
(37:13):
starting third base for the Yankees thisweek. I mean, give that dude
a raise, give him something,Otani something, come on. I was
just saying gear, but he probablygets that something nice seats. He needs
to be taken care of for savingthe franchise. In that moment, per
it was just it was just likeI said, the way he handled it
was really really cool, which isreally cool. I mean, there goes
(37:38):
our hero. Yeah, I justsaw something, Bob. When I shared
that tweet, I saw another onesomeone literally I'm not gonna say the kid's
name anymore, called himself a superfan, called um off all the stuff
for the Firebirds. I know wetalked about a lot of this earlier tweeted
out the Firebirds or coward yesterday hefell for that whole nonsense. We were
talking about where the narrative got spawnedin a certain way. Do I know
(38:02):
this person? Yeah? Oh no, so I just I tweeted back.
I'm like, wow, good toknow. You might be the worst quote
fan ever that writes back to me. Thanks, man, Really appreciate the
nice words you call us cowards?Bro? Like if I'm that's the nicest
thing I can say to you atthat point, how do you want how
do you want to be addressed?Like? How do you want to be
addressed when you call the team thatyou have have linked yourself to, when
(38:27):
you call us cowards or something thathad nothing to do with us, How
do you want to be addressed?Buddy? I would I'm gonna stick behind
this. This is not in achat room, this is not in a
forum. This is more social mediathan anything else. I think. I
think that's the new rule. Ifit's out on social media and you can
see it or coaches or players orexecutives. Then I think it's fair game
to respond. There are too manypeople who go sleuthing for stuff like if
(38:51):
you're seeking out a chat room forAFL forums, or you're searching your own
name without being tagged and stuff,then I'd be like, hey, probably
not have to deal with that.But this is social media. This is
someone who's claiming, you know,an identity is associated with the team.
I got no problems that you respondedto that, right, and thanks to
the kind of words. So I'mright back. No, thanks for the
support. It drives me nuts,man, and like, I'm not gonna
(39:16):
lie to you. I mean,if you heard me on Picks this morning,
I was after it last night.I was, oh wait, whoa,
whoa, whoa. I believe wewait to the end of the show
to do this. I did notcatch any of it. By the way,
Happy birthday to our friend Quinn SoHi birthday, by you look looking
good for thirty five, I toldme, look twenty nine. I came
in and said happy birthday. Man. He gave over. I wanted to
(39:36):
do like a handshake, but thenI went fist pound and then we had
like the awkward turtle turkey now goingon? And then I just shook his
hand and walk out of the studio. I'm like, that was a weird
interaction or me and Uncle Quinn.But it was a birthday. I missed
it. I'm sorry. Back tolittle cross promotion here. What happened this
morning? On the Picks? Wegot to do? You want to do?
You want to full? We've gota few minutes here so I can
do the whole thing. Yeah,So I on Thursday morning, I always
(40:00):
sent my alarm a little extra earlybecause I like to get a couple of
things done. I like to makesure I've you know, checked the news.
I like to make sure that I'veheard, like at least one of
their breaks, so I don't walkin there and like have no idea what's
going on. That was not acase this morning. If you, if
you happened to be a part ofFlock University last night, I may have
spent way more time under the orangeroof after that show. I was pretty
(40:23):
fired up having a good time.Emma and I became good friends last night.
She's a good person. She's quickwith the beers and the all you
can dot wings. So I wokeup this morning and start getting ready to
go to the arena. Do youwork, you know, not think anything
(40:43):
anything. My notification goes off,Hey, you have thirty minutes to get
the picks. So I just gotmyself together, hauled down the road and
got here. No idea what theywere talking about. No, yeah,
nothing, just ready to you knowwhatever. And of course they go right
into like, oh, eleven fortywhatever. Last night Levac posted on Facebook
(41:07):
and I'm like, yeah, Iwas sauced up. I'm not gonna pretend
I wasn't. They told you tostop doing that though, thought that was
your resolution from that. That's whatthey want. That's not what I want.
And it's about the team, youknow, I said. I just
I posted something on Facebook like receiptsare being kept, you know, flock
together or flock off. They're doingdefend your tweet. They're doing a segment
(41:29):
basically, and uh and I soI just, you know, I told
the story of what was going oneverything. But it was like I was,
I was. I was definitely strugglebust party of one at that point.
I was. I kept it together. I talked to the you know,
area president and all that stuff.I was like, hey, everything's
great. And then I went home, I took a super hot shower and
I got back to work. Butlike that, that was a big part
(41:50):
of this morning. Like it's justthere's ayah. We talked about some of
this earlier. It just feels weirdand maybe you didn't hear it. Just
everyone bought into this narrative from adifferent personality slash organization. I'm not a
how to say names, and justlike people that are our people, like
you know what I mean, Likeyou're like I would if if the Red
(42:14):
Sox started posting things about the Yankees, I wouldn't be like, how dare
you Yankees? What are you doing? I'd be like, wait a minute,
is there any truth behind what theRed Sox are saying? And then
I still would defend the Yankees.I'm a Yankee fan. Like there's a
group of people out there who callthemselves Firebird fans who saw stuff from other
places and like people who have hatedon us online forever and went, oh
(42:37):
my god, I can't believe theydid that. And I'm just like,
two things, we didn't do.It not true. Uh, the truth
is way cleaner and more fun forus, and more importantly, like why
wouldn't you wait to hear from us? And then like people but there too.
(43:01):
And by the way, it's acan't miss Flock University Saturday morning at
nine am right here on Fox SportsRadio ninety five, nine nine eighty.
The editing was interesting and it's definitelycan't miss it. Is it is.
The editing was so much that Iactually did something it for you the way
that's like I didn't there was there'smoments in life where I'm just like,
I can't put all this on Gods, everyone got a chance, you know,
(43:25):
like like Mike Korda is on theshow to start Damon where if it
completely says what he what he feels. Uh. Darius Prince was was on
one. He was after it.You know. I I was just a
traffic cop last night. But itwas it was powerful and it was moving.
People were like, you guys arecoming off as arrogant. It's just
(43:46):
hold on a second. Is itarrogant or confidence? Like we've done it,
you know what I mean? Likewe're we're not saying we're gonna do
anything we haven't done before. Andone of the things was, you know,
we've been pretty clear, like theref the referees have had have had
a rough year for like a coupleof reasons. People are like, you
(44:07):
can't talk about referees like that.Okay, We're not doing it to cause
problems. We're doing it because wewant we believe in this league and we
want the oversight that belongs in it. So if this is how we're gonna
get the attention on the situation,then so be it. This is what
we'll do. But it's just like, but when it's your people, that'd
be like trying to think of who'swho's who do you hate? Who are
(44:31):
your your media rivals? Sure,my media rivals. For the sick of
this conversation, we'll say the retiredPete Doherty, all right, that'd be
like Pete Doherty going, Levac triedto make out with your wife, guys
and blah blah blah, and yougoing what, I can't believe it and
never asking me or your wife whathappened? You know what? That's very
(44:52):
much Pete Dorty like, but hewould he would, wouldn't he? No,
I know, but but I'm sayinglike that's kind of what it felt
like. That's what it felt like. These people are like they're the same
people who call and ask me forstuff, the same people will look for
access, and then they didn't doany of that. It really bothered me.
It really bothered me. So Iwent off a little bit last night.
I don't have any issue. AndI'm glad you shared that with Quinn
(45:13):
Hinter, and I'm glad you sharedit here before we got off the heir,
because that stuff in the world oftwenty twenty four, when there are
platforms and outlets and in this case, radio stations where you can actually offer
up what really happened, there isa strength to that, to the truth
hunt set you free. To PeteDoherty's reference, Yeah, when you email
somebody once a week for five yearsand then all of a sudden something controversial
happens, you're like, well,we heard from the station that must have
(45:36):
been what happened. You have justtest me. You emailed me for five
years, really don't. I've sharedthat story before too. I had a
nice, heated conversation with him insection two two ten acted like nothing,
but it's not about me, it'sabout what you talk about today. But
like, no, but I'm gladyou know you got to talk about that,
(45:57):
and I'm glad people, whether you'rejust listening right now or anything else.
That is the good part about theworld now that you can find out
exactly what happened. And one moreplug for Flock University. It will be
a fun episode and no firebird actionthis week, and who knows it's so
good. Who knows you might hearit again next week because of the bye
week's coming up and everything else.That's an evergreen episode of Flock Universe that
we're out there. You know howI love that Madden thing where it's like
(46:21):
people think we you know, we'rebullies and we push people around or whatever.
Yeah, what do you do aboutit? That's what Flock University was.
It was. It was that momentof we're sick and tired of doing
what we're told to do and holdingourselves back, and we went off and
maybe we went off a little toofar, and maybe there'll have to be
(46:43):
apologies at some point, but we'lldo that from the trophy stand. When
we win the championship, that's whenwe're at ArenaBowl down in an American Dream
Center, like, that's that's whenwe'll That's what I'll say. I'll hold
the trophy up. I'm sorry.Everybody whose feelings we hurt this year.
Come kiss this trophy. That's that'swhen I'll do it. Do we have
a Do I have any We havemore business here. We have to go
(47:05):
home. Now, we have togo home. I want to go home.
I'm curious what happens next cave youknow, and Rich's schedule to be
next. But also the NBA Draftis going on right now. You might
hear picks after us, you mightnot. This is the fun part.
Picks one of six or like picksin the draft, NBA second round draft
picks. And I heard I justgot draft. I don't think I did
our final show in June's tomorrow.Yay, everybody, it's uh Levic Gods,
(47:30):
please wash your hands and don't touchyour face. It's Fox Sports Radio
nine. Gods. Hit that beautifulbutton.
It's Levak and Guz on ninety fivenine Fox Sports Radio. I I know
it doesn't always sound like it,but I do try to know what we're
talking about before I start talking,Like I do make that effort like I
do research, I do study,I do prep if you will. I
(00:21):
know nothing about this except for that. I'm sorry, guys, it pisses
me off, like I am.I have you ever seen and it's probably
you know what it is. It'sthat it's that immediate first blush reaction to
a post. It's that immediate firstblush react like like you'll get this when
you get when you're old, whenyour kids are older, like you're one
(00:42):
of your boys is gonna come intothe house and go, don't get mad,
dad, and you're gonna get You'regonna your blood pressure, your head's
gonna turn like one of the oldthermometers of the cartoons, like you.
Just the second someone in my familygoes, don't get angry, I'm instantly
ticked off. I mean, it'slike you don't. I don't even even
know what it is. I'm justI'm mad right then, because you have
(01:03):
now warned me that you're telling mesomething I don't want to hear you've warned
me, right. First of all, I didn't know that there was an
under twenty American football tournament in theworld. The Nationals, whoever the hell
it is team and it's not Americanfootball. Okay? Can we just like
(01:29):
it's football? Okay? Oh whatabout what about soccer? That's football,
that's fut it's not foot right,nobody does that football is football? Okay,
American football? But like more insultinjury when I hear it called American
football because the under twenty American theUS I team just lost forty one to
(01:52):
twenty to Japan's American football team.Okay, Canada just beat I don't know
one of these other flags twenty sevento twenty. How the hell list isten?
I don't like to be this guy, right, and these are all
young men, they're all under twenty. Don't come home. You're not welcome
(02:15):
in this country. I don't andus this is irrational. I have no
understanding of how the rest of theworld is approaching American football. But if
there's one thing, we should alwayswin. If we lose a little basketball
once in a while, that'll breakmy heart. But I'll be Okay,
I'll live. I'll survive. Rightif we lost softball, I'll be a
little ticked off. But hey,you know what it's been out there.
(02:36):
We lose soccer, I'm like,Okay, that happened. Huh whatever,
driving anything up? It's American football. Do you know how bad Japan is
laughing at us right now? Doyou know Japan's over there, like like
did you ever see the South Parkepisode where they're talking about dodgeball and stuff
like you have no trouble seeing theball with your big round eyes, Like
they're making like they're making fun ofthem, making fun of us, making
(02:58):
fun of them kind of thing.If I'm Japan right now, I'm just
like, we win. Yeah.You may have abused us in a war
or two in the past, youmay have whatever, but we win now.
We just took the thing you careabout more than any American football is
America's pastime. You can't. Ifeel like I should be able to go
(03:21):
grab the team at CBA or Shakeror even my album Marstyle County. I
should be able to drop them inthis tournament and they should win it.
Well, remember when Team USA beatIndia and cricket and people are heard like
this, Oh, nobody cares aboutcricket. This is football, guys,
the grid. Iiron What I meantby that was like that was a big
(03:44):
deal, Like that was huge.Here's what's happened. And I will use
my my dear friend from Bank andSolving, New York as an example of
this, and he will fully admitthis, and this is what happened to
this story. My friend Jesse willfully admit he's like, I see a
lot of stuff on the internet witharticle. I don't click the article.
I make my opinion from the headline. I will make my This is what
(04:04):
happened with this story. Chef's kissof a perfect way to erupt on social
media because I had to google thisbefore we got into this topic of So
wait, wait, wait, soit's American football. But I thought football
was allowed in the Olympics. Oh, this must be a qualifier. No,
no, no flag. Football isgonna be in the twenty twenty eight
Olympics. Okay, so this isthis is the under twenty American Football World
(04:30):
Championships. So until moments ago,earlier today, I had no idea that
existed. I don't know. Istill don't even really understand the concept of
that, and that's really important here. How dare you because I couldn't.
This is the thing I care mostabout in the entire universe that I just
found out about ten twenty minutes ago. I couldn't tell you a single player
(04:50):
on that team on Team USA.Now what according to what Reddit's telling me?
You know, you joked around aboutCBA and Shake and anybody else,
they actually might have high school playerson the team for Team US. Say
what is actually a high school senior, according to Reddit, who's decided to
commit to Bethany College in West Virginia, a Division III school at six hundred
(05:15):
and fifty students. Another quarterback?Again, this is I'm getting my information
from where most people get their informationfrom squirrel q esquire on Reddit. That's
basically like, that's the Tony Romoof under twenty football. You didn't know
that you love the comments? Yeah, this is more embarrassing than Pearl Harbor.
(05:38):
Oh no, I better not seea single one of those players step
foot on US soil after this?Is this because we beat Pakistan and cricket
and now that Pakistan not India?Darn it? Wait a second, who
wrote that comment? Maybe they're wrong. I don't know Elie Desh. According
(05:59):
to more of my research I didfrom squirrel q esquire on Reddit, he's
claiming that the backup quarterback for TeamUSA is a college freshman at Florida Atlantic
University who had quote hopes of walkingon but didn't make the roster, while
the third string quarterback for Team USAis a sixteen year old who was reclassifying
back a year in hopes of gettingrecruited by anybody. So we've got a
(06:24):
D three kid, a kid whotried walking on but didn't make the team,
and a sixteen year old who said, actually I might be too young
to play at this level, letme go back a season. So,
uh, we're not knowing any ofthis. We didn't really put out exactly.
Hold on, I ask you aquestion. Okay, where do you
think the talent pool for the Japanteam came from? For all I know,
(06:45):
this is the best Japan has tooffer. Yeah, but it's American
football, Like like a lot ofthese guys are probably I imagine in my
mind your see the old eighties moviesBest of the Best where they put together
this martial arts compete team from someragtag guys and whatever, they train them
up. That's what I feel like. I feel like Japan. They just
(07:06):
rolled down the street in a minivanlike that mom in the in the commercial
where she picks up the kids togo help her kid play football. Minivan
rolls down the street. Who wantsto play American football? What's American football?
It's it's like rugby but better.I mean, I was giving a
shot. All great, we gotkaz or whatever, I don't know,
whatever the name is. He's partof the team. Now we're gonna be
(07:28):
good. He's an amazing ping pongor whatever the hell it is. Like,
saying that we got kids who playedAmerican football should mean we win the
worldwide American football competition. That's themost American take of all time. Us
say, us say it is,all right, if it was an under
twenty sushi competition. I feel likewe get our butts kicked. I'm just
(07:54):
trying to think, like, like, what's more stereotypically American than football?
Hot on eating contest? And lookwe lost one of those not too long
ago. All right, here's here'shere's where, here's where it gets rof
Here's where, Here's where it stings. Here where it hits you in the
old goodie pouch. Japan beat USforty one to twenty to advance to the
(08:16):
championship game where they'll face America's hatCanada. So so we we literally have
to cheer on Canada because at leastwe taught them football. Their game is
a little different than ours, butwe taught them football. So we have
to cheer on. We have wehave to hope that Canada goes out there
and wins for US over Japan.Sir, sorry about your luck. Boys,
(08:41):
We got you though. We putdown the hooky sticks. We're ready
to go ice cold Molson's on usafter we win it all for you.
Okay, sorry about your luck.You know what Team USA is here?
They are potentially you know what,they will be the biggest losers ever.
Sort of the next version of Bishop'sSycamore. No no, no, no,
(09:01):
hear me out here. Maybe itis Bishop Sycamore. This is it
like Bishop Sycamore the BS High thepiece that was done on HBO, a
fake high school. People cared aboutBishop Sycamore when they watched them get destroyed
on national television. They could havelost that game one hundred to nothing,
and the broadcasters on the game,were like, we really can't find anything
(09:22):
to confirm anything that happened. Butpeople became more interested about what Bishop Sycamore
was days and hours after the game. This is what is going to happen
with Team USA. The headline catcheseverybody's attention. Japan beats USA. The
highlights of the offense that Japan isrunning, which looks like something between a
(09:43):
twelve year old with a controller tomake his own playbook and somebody drunk on
Thanksgiving forgetting where you're supposed to lightup the players. That was Japan's offense
that was going viral with these tweetson TikTok and Instagram. So this is
where it sits. Now you getthe viral talk of this, and soon
the research will be done. Peopleare like, why did this third string
(10:05):
quarterback never graduate high school? Howdid this ever even become a team.
It is going to be more interestingfor some people to figure out what happened
post because I'm not getting caught upin the headlines. This is a classic
twenty twenty four story. Canada goesto the finals against Japan. Team Japan
beats Team USA and I can't namea player they got me, but I'm
(10:26):
not going to fall for it.They may be interested in this story,
but I'm not going to reshare it. How about this comment that's because Americans
are soft nowadays, the young ones. I mean, ouch. Wait,
the name of the country is inthe name of the sport. How about
that? Huh? I mean,is this going to motivate people for flag
(10:46):
football in four years from now thatwe have to destroy every team? Here's
a good shot for you. Here'sthis is a good This is a well
veiled shot at American culture for theway the rest of the world looks at
us. But wait, what arethe Japanese players pronoun like? That's like
trash talk? Oh my god,that's great trash talk. Do any of
(11:07):
em have NFL contracts? Like?I mean, is it under twenty?
So no, they wouldn't. Butuh, every half decent US player under
twenty has college commitments. Yeah,but that's excuse. Here's one if this
dude just tries to explain it.Japan actually has some American football culture,
same as Canada. They're like onlytwo other countries with some sort of stake
(11:28):
in this sport besides USA. Butagain, it's ours like it's ours,
like it's not yours, it's ours. Like everyone runs, we lose the
track, Okay, we lose atrack that sucks. Everyone runs, everyone
(11:48):
jumps, everyone does these things.It's American football. Like you imagine if
it was like, oh my god, US beat Japan and Japanese swimming,
like I would be like, oh, all aout. Now is this how
it takes? We're back in likenineteen seventy six when the college kids finally
lost to the pros of the SovietUnion and moles guarantee. Do you think
(12:11):
this was how it was when Americastarted losing in the Olympics to other baseball
teams because baseball was America's pastime.Yes, I feel like I'm living in
the new version of that now withthis odd story about non collegiate players who
might be teenagers losing to players whothis is their moment for. But this
(12:31):
is everybody's under twenty in this.This isn't even the Olympics. And listen,
I don't know what you just saidthat doesn't ring immediately into Those who
don't learn from history are doomed torepeat it. We've lost baseball to Japan
and the Dominican Republic and the MiddleAmerican countries, Central America. We've lost
(12:54):
it to them. Do you wantto lose football now? Do you want
Racks and West and whatever? Babythem? Trey? What are baby three?
Do you want? Do you wantthem learning? They gotta learn Japanese
to play American football? Is thatwhat you want? Sir? The presidential
debate is tonight, and if theydon't address this, I'm not voting for
either one of them. I wantto you want to make America great again?
(13:16):
How about making American football undefeated again? As a fellow president, Levac,
you are taking a stand right now. I'm throwing my hat in the
ring to coach them up. I'mrunning for I'm running for president of United
States of America, and my mainplatform is that we will never lose an
American football tournament again. You us, hey, you us a a chicken
(13:39):
in every pot, a car inevery garage, and we'll build garages.
Everyone gets a garage. I don'tknow if you have a home or not.
That doesn't matter. We're gonna giveyou a garage, and I allowed
to lose living in it. Yougotta put a car in it, and
America will dominate the world of Americanfootball again. Never again will you have
to sheepishly and shame fully look atyour child and say, hey, we
(14:01):
just lost forty one to twenty toJapan in pigskin in American football. Hey
we lost forty one to twenty toJapan. What were we playing? Dad?
Was it shuffle board? Ping pong? What now? Corn Hall?
How dare you you hush your mouth? We'd never lose that. No,
it was American football, and theypass out. Fainting couches around the country
(14:24):
are being filled by disappointed and embarrassedmarkeans. Now, let me legally say
Fox Sports ninety five, nine andninety does not the endorse the candidacy.
I want Jeff Leavak for the Presidentof the United States of America. I
can't get endorse by my own station. It's ridiculous. Maybe Lily and David
Fine Jewelers Shops of Wilton can endorseyour candidacy. Lavact and Proud sponsored the
(14:48):
show. They've been with us fora long time. They may be a
part of this. They want rings, they want championships, they want you'd
have a great summer and maybe makethat proposal that someone's special. They can
help you through the process. It'sthe shops at Wilton. Stop in and
find out if you're gonna celebrate thatanniversary coming up, maybe that engagement.
Maybe a holiday July fourth, maybeyou celebrate that. I don't know what
you want to do with your certainsetups for holidays. I don't know.
(15:09):
Maybe you want to celebrate America andget down to watch football. You want
to celebrate football, And right there, Lily and David find Jewelers is a
great place. That's it. That'sa family owned and operated American business.
You're damn right. It is myfriend. And they take pride in what
they do, and they take pridein what you do. They're even they're
so good at what they do.Goz is actually married. If Godz was
(15:33):
left to his own devices, asmuch as that lovely Jordan loves him,
she would have run down that beat, screaming when he asked if. But
she had the right ring in frontof her. She he was coached up
and they got it done. Ifyou like America and you like people,
you want to ring. Lily andDavid find Jules is the place for got
a nice ring to it if youwill get it there. I could see
(15:56):
the future coming by the way Icould feel it first, it's this but
USA, he's getting back on Americanfootball. And now this is how locally
you could support maybe local athletes.Have you heard about this story that's going
on a little west of us aboutit could be coming to the Capitol region?
Is it about football? You'll findout next? All right, Fox
Sports ninety five nine nine. It'sLevac and guzz on ninety five nine Fox
(16:21):
Sports Radio. Alrighty man, therewe are cruising through this so Thursday.
Wow, this week has been afly by Thursday editional back, guys right
here in the old l GT toysto see this Toys of the zet.
What do you look constipated? Rightnow? What is that? What is
that? Fai? You're gonna pop? Is he gonna run? Is he
(16:45):
gonna beat road? Jim working on? Like Tony Romo? I feel like
I'm Tony Romo. Sometimes it's thisEddie Lampkin story. If you missed it
earlier in the week, you mightnot even be familiar with the name yet
of Eddie Lampkin Junior. You mightknow, is hey, who is that
guy that Syracuse signed out of theportal, that committed then decommitted, then
recommitted. That's wearing forty four.That Derek colemansol Eddie Lampkins's name. Quick
(17:08):
little update here, Levac, butbefore I give the details in the payoff,
there's a big nil story I thinkthat's rumbling about two hours west of
US that could potentially happen here inthe Capitol region at some point if you
were given nil money. So there'sno judgment here. If you were twenty
one or twenty two years old andyou signed for a different college and you
(17:30):
got I don't know how much,but a significant amount of money, we
would assume is there anything quickly youdo with it? If I had a
bunch of my what would do quickly? Like if you were twenty one or
twenty two, Like, what wouldbe the first thoughts of what you would
probably do at twenty one or okay, car car, well twenty one,
twenty two? Something for mom ina car? Yeah, I would be
very cliche. I'm struggling to thinkwhat I would do. But i'd probably
(17:55):
go car as well. But I'msomebody, Yeah, you know what car
would probably be mine. I don'tthink I would open up a restaurant.
Would you open up a what arethey called cloud kitchens. Is the term
have you heard of that? Oh? Is that that's where the that's where
the online searches right, so likeso like there's like a there's a ghost
Wolfgang Puk restaurant, Guy Guy Fieri. I think that like Hooters, is
(18:19):
two different things. Like if youlook on like the apps, the food
delivery apps, there's like Hooters andthere's also like a Burger. It's like
a it's got like a Burger name, like because the places, that's what
they do, so that the appknows how to search each thing because they
like they grade each thing on thefood it's most known for. I believe
no. I think that's the conceptof a cloud kitchen utilized as a commercial
(18:42):
kitchen for the purpose of preparing foodfor delivery or take out with no dining
customers. I want to make sureI got that definition out there, because
what happened after the Eddie Lampkin's isgonna unretire forty four and people are all
worked up because of the history andtradition of that number. And I know
there's been a lot of takes outin the Central New York the west side
(19:03):
of this about Let's let the kidwear the number, and you know me
never. If it's retired, it'sretired unless someone gives you permission to wear
it. Don't try to find yourselfin controversy like you are now all of
a sudden, Right after the storyof Eddie Lampkin wearing forty four, within
forty eight hours, Sarrahcuse dot comran a piece about, Wow, have
(19:25):
you visited Eddie Lampkin Junior's cloud Kitchen? It's now featured on North Salina Street
and here's a huge So. Idon't know if Syracuse University paid for that
story. I don't know if justodd timing of when the story came out.
I don't know if the author said, woo, now's a perfect time
to capitalize on that story I had, And then I had this story waiting
for a while, so I wouldassume I hate to do this the assumption,
(19:49):
but I was sued. If you'retwenty two years old and you had
money, maybe you wanted and hesays this in the article on series dot
com. He wanted more Southern foodthat he was used to. He wanted
a way to find it. Hefound a chef. He doesn't want to
be a cook. He opened upa cloud kitchen to make some money in
Syracuse. I'm surprised, Levak,you've worked in kitchens before. Yeah,
(20:11):
would you have advised him as atwenty two year old to potentially take your
nil money to open up a kitchenin Syracuse? Yeah, if you If
you thought there was a vacancy inthe market, absolutely like that would see
twenty two year old me, thatwouldn't have happened, I don't think.
But forty seven year old me ifI stumbled at a bunch of money.
There's a couple of people out therethat I'm looking at him going like Boston
(20:33):
Dan. I'm looking at Boston Danand going Okay, you and I have
talked about restaurants for years. Now, what do you want to do?
Do you want do you want tojust do you want to just take over
this franchise here? Do you wantto open something? What do you want
to do? Because I can nowbankroll it, I'd run right to Andy
Gelcher and Mike Khorda, Hey,I have money, what do you want
to do? Like, there's peopleI would because I know it would grow
(20:55):
the money, and it would growmy ability to make more money. I
plead that I'm naive in this businessworld of restaurants. But it would feel
like as an outsider that that isso incredibly competitive to find a way in
which you can find a niche ina city. And maybe that's what he's
going for, if you're going toturn a profit, not saying you can't
(21:18):
do it, but there are certainways in which we've heard stories of athletes
bombing out with restaurants and everything elsethat I don't know if that's the safest
way to do it. But maybehe's not concerned about safety. He's like,
I got money to spend. I'myoung, I want food that I
want. I found somebody could makeit, and I play for Syracuse.
Now guess what. I didn't haveto spend money on marketing because people know
who I am and you just readan article about it. Anyways, thank
you for the free publicity. Well, not to mention if i'm if I'm
(21:41):
right about how this works. You'rebasically making a different style of food in
a kitchen that already exists, andthat means that you don't have the overhead
of building a kitchen. You don'thave to if it's all delivery. It's
not like how many tables can youoverturn and how long? Like it sounds
(22:02):
like a lower risk version of launchinga restaurant. Also, this is how
easily I'm influenced. I'm like,Wait, a Syracuse athlete has a restaurant
that I've never tried before with food. I mean I might try it.
And if that weren't for somebody wholives in Albany, I wonder how his
business is doing today. Now,maybe there's a turn of guard. Maybe
you want to play and be endearingto the fan base around the play in
(22:25):
front of And again I'm just usingEddie Lampkin because this could happen in Albany
realistically, somebody who signs an NILdeal with Sienna or you all, but
he could open up a restaurant,a cloud kitchen, a business, and
I wonder how often Great Dane orSaint fans or Union College fans might support
it. Eddie Lampkin had gone tosocial media, though, and tweeted this
from his ex account at Eddie Lampkintwenty five. The irony that it's twenty
(22:48):
five at not forty four? Uh, Orange Nation. I don't appreciate all
the hate comments and negative energy.Keep it at one hundred. Y'all y'all
disted me on social media and ona podcast like do y'all really know who
I am? Is that podcast tome? By the way, wait a
second, that beat towards us.We're on a radio show. I did
tweet out the link though. I'mthe most respectful person you'll ever meet any
(23:08):
ding any time. I didn't comehere for money. I came here to
win a championship with my team onehundred. I delete everything on my Instagram
because that's what I do. Ifyou know me, I always clear my
IG when I'm hurting and thinking aboutmy brother heartbreak. We don't know his
brother was murdered in twenty twenty two. A former stand out for Oklahoma football
basketball comes after my family and God, John Wallace and Derrick Coleman, I
(23:33):
mean no disrespect. So it lookedlike he was pandering a little bit to
the Cerius end. But the comment, but the comments are super positive in
his favor. A lot of fanswere like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
you're supporting Syracuse. We want youto play well. We're backing off
the forty four takes. Some havenot backed off the forty four take,
so it's weird. Like usually inthe world of sports, it's like,
(23:55):
how dare you? Like, youknow, we came off a Yankee Met
conversation from the last couple days,like how bad some Yankee fans were played
in some markets turned negative. Itseems like there were in a new world
where it's like, yeah, we'renot happy you're wearing forty four, but
we'll support your restaurant and we'll giveyou a love on social That seems like
a nice way. This seems likea nicer, kinder, chedler sports fan
out here for now, you know, for now, like he it's it's
(24:22):
it is ah. The post itselffeels a little yeah, a little bit
like pity me, look at me, don't bully me, you know,
I mean it does feel that way, like to bring up the brother and
all that stuff. But look man, whenever he however, he uses to
use it and people want to interactwith him, go ahead. But I
think the in this in this dayand age, him tweeting out no disrespect
(24:51):
to Colman and is that kind ofwell is that count? The count has
reached out to them, see ifit's okay to wear the forty four.
It's because it's an apology. It'sa public apology basically, you know,
thinking back on this down with alittle bit more perspective about more and more
details coming out, this seems likepreposterous to some people. Eddie Lampkin was
(25:14):
originally from Houston. Now there's reportshe's from Virginia, but he played in
Colorado. He may actually not know. He may have not actually known about
John Wallace and Derek Coleman. It'spossible he might have been whoa, whoa,
whoa, wha wha. No onetold me I'm not from here,
guys. I'm not a huge collegehoops northeast man. So maybe this should
have been Adrian Autry, John WildeHack. Somebody should have told the kid,
(25:36):
like, hey, you know you'regonna so I would say, yes,
it's an apology, but he mightplead ignorance and be like, whoa.
I honestly didn't know. I didn'tknow it was retired. I didn't
know this was such a big deal. So I don't think it's from him.
I think it should have been someoneshould have reached out to them or
maybe said hey, man, likewe said the other day, hey,
if you're gonna wear forty four,let's shoot a video on social and you're
(25:57):
gonna call it Derek Coleman, You'regonna call John Wallace. I think those
guys would have been like, Wow, that's a really cool thing that this
impact six eleven kid wants to wearmy number. They could say no,
they come off as the jerk atthat point, or hey can you wear
forty five? Right? So saidsomething. I mean if that if that
was like, I'm trying to thinklike what we would do here? So
(26:21):
if next year I'll I have afun one, We'll do a fun one
here. Okay, yeah? Pleasedo I've got to you any other ones?
My kids are in the Scotia GlenvilleSchool District, Joe Kremo and Zach
Buyer in the Scotia Hall of Fame. I think it would be fun one
day if one of my boys decignsto play basket college. I hope he
does. It would be fun ifhe called Joe or Zach and said,
(26:44):
hey, can I wear your number? Rather than like, come on,
guys, you know what this.I don't think Zach or Joe body started
to do that, but it wouldbe a lot more fun and entertaining and
be like, hey, man,I think it'd be cool if they war
your number, Like, that's theway I would do it. If you
know, it's just like, hey, now we're having people follow a program
who have done this in the future. All right, So for Albany Arena
(27:04):
football, if you're gonna wear seventeen, people are gonna think you're being Ntty
Brown, you know what I mean. So we haven't done it. It
was not like even on purpose.No one's asked for it, so we
haven't. We haven't had to crossthat bridge, but it is, you
know, it's one that we ifsomebody asked me for seventeen, Like if
when you know, coach Ware andI were sitting there putting everything together the
of the year, So hey,I wanna wear seventeen. I'm gonna look
(27:26):
at coach wear and go should wetake certain steps? Should we at least
inform this individual what they're getting ordo you just go with it. It's
a new team, it's a newownership or whatever like, But that conversation
will be had. I'd like tobelieve somebody in the Syracuse front office went,
hey, we know forty four iskind of a big deal, right,
Like that's that's why I want tomake this too political on the day
(27:47):
of a debate, but hopefully peoplecan realize this and even time. My
name is Goz and I had apoly side degree. There's a presidential debate
today. I don't know if youknew that, I knew that, which
you know that? Which airs atour sisters station GYT nine o'clock. Our
coverage gets underway well after we're gone, so you can you're allowed to go
listen that. Just because you agreeor disagree with one part of something doesn't
(28:08):
mean you have to do it foreverything. Like I can disagree I don't
think any lampin should wear forty four. This should have been handled totally different.
But I can support his restaurant,I can go to his cloud kitchen,
I can give some love on socialJust because somebody does something in one
way doesn't mean everything they do nowthey're the worst, all right. I'll
wait for the hate mail to comefor that. It's God's at iHeartMedia dot
(28:30):
com. Thomas Goslowski. I Iat iHeartMedia dot Com. I would be
so down for this to happen though, that like, at some point in
the next few years that we geta kid who's playing in college and one
of the local university says, hey, Loovac, guys, do you want
to come be a part of thisdeal that I'm setting up with my nil.
I'm trying Saints march on. I'vetalked to you guys before you albny.
(28:52):
Whatever you want to do, union, let's make it happen. Let's
see it going forward. Speaking aboutbusinesses, speaking about making new connections,
speaking about skills. That's it more. Who knows, maybe express employment professionals
might be a part of that andhelp these businesses continue to grow and they
find those new opportunities. But foryour business, I would be like,
no, I just want to makesure I don't take Jordan Morriano's number.
So I don't want his number.I don't want to be disrespectful to the
(29:12):
man, but he said his number. I thought about the Jordan ron On
Star. I don't want his actualphone number because that's the name of Jordan's
wife and we've not but sure enoughto handle that. Guys. But I
will tell you this if you don'tknow that story. Basically what happened is
because Jordan is the first name ofGouz's wife and also one of the best
(29:33):
giants reporters out there. Guys justrandomly decided to text Jordan ran on,
Hey, I'm going to the bathroombasically I'm cleaning up a little bit for
you, and he went, Idon't think he talked to us for like
a month, and then he finallyhe still talks to me. He doesn't
talk to Goz. Now he congratulatedme when we got back on the air,
but not Gouz. So we're afraidof Jordan. The other Jordan from
(29:56):
Express we get. But I willtell you this, this Jordan from Express
is not the kind of dude whowould be like ignore. He would be
like, what the hell's the matterwith you? Yes, what he's told
me. He doesn't want my number. But he's a good dude. I've
heard the stories of him taking latenight phone calls from people who's connected with
businesses that are in a bunch ofcram like I need somebody, needs somebody.
(30:18):
I've got the team, I've gota skill set waiting for you.

douz on the voice of the CapitolRegions sports fan Fox Sports ninety five to
(31:04):
nine and nine eighty live in theGG Toys Studio. That's Toys with a
Z. I was stuck in atraffic jam earlier today and seven. Yeah,
I want you to know what wasgoing on because I was. I
told you i'd be here and Iended up being about thirty minutes late because
I was stuck any thing and Iwas next to This is how my brain
(31:26):
works, This is why, thisis why my life is so expensive.
Okay, I'm next to I can'tthink of the name of the company,
but the truck he was rid onthe side of the truck and they like
do golf cart repair. So theyhad two golf carts on the thing.
And I'm like, I need agolf cart. I wonder if GG twice
would get me a golf car,like like I could, I'll buy it.
You know, I just want agood golf car. I want to.
(31:48):
I think, where the hell amI gonna drive a golf cart?
I have? I have less thanan acre, you know what I mean?
Like I don't have an acre,Like I live in Latham, I
don't have. It's not like it'snot like I got a Boddy who has
like like he lives not far fromme, but he has it's like a
compound. He needs a golf cart, right, he needs one to get
around his yard. I don't.I barely mod't a golf cart. But
(32:12):
I'm I'm gonna at some point I'mgonna own a golf cart. It's just
gonna happen. The idea of youdriving around your neighborhood in a golf cart's
hilarious. Like the mayor just likewaving to people. Hell everyone, white
hat on. I liked all thekids. I like taking walks around her
neighborhood. We have a very nice, friendly neighborhood. I think everyone's still
friendly. I'm not allowed to talkabout jungle boy anymore. He got shut
(32:34):
down. Dad wasn't too happy aboutthat segment. But your dad was.
I don't blame him. He wasa little concerned. Oh oh, he
I'm mat you. He just doesn'tlike that it's happening. No, no,
and he wanted to have a nicetalking with him. I'm like,
Dad, I gotcha four control.I just I am mentioned tg too out
(32:57):
there in a full gilly suit,hiding your backyard, not even telling you.
And the second jungle boy comes aroundthe corner with a ten hunder his
arm, he gonna pop out andme like, what are you doing so
my neighborhood. I believe still likesme. But the golf cart idea of
driving around the neighborhood in a golfcart is hilarious. You and I have
gone to training camps, yeah,where older coaches have done the golf cart
(33:21):
thing like they're right, Like youknow coach is coming because he's riding around
on the golf cart and coach Catuso, I believe the late Bobby Boden used
to do that. Other coaches,coach Bob Ford muld have done that too,
like the golf cart, which butthere's huge practice fields, Like you're
trying to go station to station,player to player. We used to do.
One of the stations I worked at, they used to do a concert.
(33:43):
Let's just call it country Fest,just so we have a name for
it. And we would have golfcarts for the ultimate fairground. And I
never had my own, quote golfcart, but I would steal everyone else's
and I'd be gone for as longas it took to do whatever I had
to do. Like at one yearwhen we were sponsored by like Oreos,
like a new like Oreo Cris orsomething that we had boxes and boxes Oreos.
(34:05):
So I'm driving them out to themain highway to give them the police
so that they have them, andeverybody's like, we're like you get you
hear on the radio, where thehell is my golf cart? I'm like,
whose voice was that? Oh?That was Bob osfelt I better get
this one back, and I wouldalways tie something on it, so I
knew which one I got. Bythe end of the day, I'd have
mall. Golf carts are awesome.They're cool, they're fun. You could
(34:28):
fall off from the last time Iwas on a golf cart, was it
That's Weathery' fun at the Hideaway?I can't remember. I think it was
I was in the cart with Girka. Oh, he's a moron when it
comes to I think you were inthere, mad Man with Chad though,
when we were getting a tour ofSerotoga Lake Golf Club's course at that point.
But it was just almost killed mein a golf cart. Oh okay,
it was. We both did thetrip with him, all right.
(34:51):
No, I love golf carts,so, like you said, I was
stuck in that traffic. I'm shocked. I don't. I haven't made a
down payment on a golf car yet. If I wasn't looking at an RV
right now, I probably would have. I probably would have a golf cart.
Did you see what happened in theDodgers dugout in yesterday's game show?
(35:12):
Heo Tani the the seven hundred milliondollar man standing there, A foul ball
comes rocketing in his direction. Imean a menacing full ball show. Heyo
Tani? What is he? Sevenfoot tall? He's a huge dude,
A huge dude. Big guy dropsto the ground just self preservation, just
(35:34):
hides. And I don't know ifthere's enough heroes in this world, but
there was one in that dugout andthat was the batboy for the Dodgers.
This little guy catches the ball barehanded, and you see it. That
thing hits his arms like recess whenhe catches it. Saves the life of
show. Heyo Tani. This justthen he's now his translator and has been
given four million dollars a week tobet with. It's amazing. It's amazing.
(36:00):
That clip is amazing. Did youshare it on Twitter at the yes
before the show wraps? Try toshare that at the Jeff Levac and somebody
could see it because it's going rightfor his face. Whoever's the camera man
or a woman who had that angleready to go, shout out to you
as well, and know if you'vegot no Tani cam. But that is
a direct shot, not to likethe hip right into the nose. Oh
(36:22):
TONI probably would have missed at leasta month if that thing hit him in
the face. The kid is like, doesn't even like I would have turned
around and like, Tani, whatup? You can't catch a ball?
This kid turns around, hands itto one of like the dughouse, the
dugout attendant, and just like nodshis head like yeah, I caught it.
(36:45):
And then you see Otani come aroundthe corner like in awe of this
kid, just like do you gamble? Uh? And he was like and
like the fist bump, that's it. And I don't know who. It
might be a doctor or some there'ssome dude in a Dodger pullover and he's
oh face like it's it's impressive.Everybody's up the kid. Probably he's probably
(37:13):
starting third base for the Yankees thisweek. I mean, give that dude
a raise, give him something,Otani something, come on. I was
just saying gear, but he probablygets that something nice seats. He needs
to be taken care of for savingthe franchise. In that moment, per
it was just it was just likeI said, the way he handled it
was really really cool, which isreally cool. I mean, there goes
(37:38):
our hero. Yeah, I justsaw something, Bob. When I shared
that tweet, I saw another onesomeone literally I'm not gonna say the kid's
name anymore, called himself a superfan, called um off all the stuff
for the Firebirds. I know wetalked about a lot of this earlier tweeted
out the Firebirds or coward yesterday hefell for that whole nonsense. We were
talking about where the narrative got spawnedin a certain way. Do I know
(38:02):
this person? Yeah? Oh no, so I just I tweeted back.
I'm like, wow, good toknow. You might be the worst quote
fan ever that writes back to me. Thanks, man, Really appreciate the
nice words you call us cowards?Bro? Like if I'm that's the nicest
thing I can say to you atthat point, how do you want how
do you want to be addressed?Like? How do you want to be
addressed when you call the team thatyou have have linked yourself to, when
(38:27):
you call us cowards or something thathad nothing to do with us, How
do you want to be addressed?Buddy? I would I'm gonna stick behind
this. This is not in achat room, this is not in a
forum. This is more social mediathan anything else. I think. I
think that's the new rule. Ifit's out on social media and you can
see it or coaches or players orexecutives. Then I think it's fair game
to respond. There are too manypeople who go sleuthing for stuff like if
(38:51):
you're seeking out a chat room forAFL forums, or you're searching your own
name without being tagged and stuff,then I'd be like, hey, probably
not have to deal with that.But this is social media. This is
someone who's claiming, you know,an identity is associated with the team.
I got no problems that you respondedto that, right, and thanks to
the kind of words. So I'mright back. No, thanks for the
support. It drives me nuts,man, and like, I'm not gonna
(39:16):
lie to you. I mean,if you heard me on Picks this morning,
I was after it last night.I was, oh wait, whoa,
whoa, whoa. I believe wewait to the end of the show
to do this. I did notcatch any of it. By the way,
Happy birthday to our friend Quinn SoHi birthday, by you look looking
good for thirty five, I toldme, look twenty nine. I came
in and said happy birthday. Man. He gave over. I wanted to
(39:36):
do like a handshake, but thenI went fist pound and then we had
like the awkward turtle turkey now goingon? And then I just shook his
hand and walk out of the studio. I'm like, that was a weird
interaction or me and Uncle Quinn.But it was a birthday. I missed
it. I'm sorry. Back tolittle cross promotion here. What happened this
morning? On the Picks? Wegot to do? You want to do?
You want to full? We've gota few minutes here so I can
do the whole thing. Yeah,So I on Thursday morning, I always
(40:00):
sent my alarm a little extra earlybecause I like to get a couple of
things done. I like to makesure I've you know, checked the news.
I like to make sure that I'veheard, like at least one of
their breaks, so I don't walkin there and like have no idea what's
going on. That was not acase this morning. If you, if
you happened to be a part ofFlock University last night, I may have
spent way more time under the orangeroof after that show. I was pretty
(40:23):
fired up having a good time.Emma and I became good friends last night.
She's a good person. She's quickwith the beers and the all you
can dot wings. So I wokeup this morning and start getting ready to
go to the arena. Do youwork, you know, not think anything
(40:43):
anything. My notification goes off,Hey, you have thirty minutes to get
the picks. So I just gotmyself together, hauled down the road and
got here. No idea what theywere talking about. No, yeah,
nothing, just ready to you knowwhatever. And of course they go right
into like, oh, eleven fortywhatever. Last night Levac posted on Facebook
(41:07):
and I'm like, yeah, Iwas sauced up. I'm not gonna pretend
I wasn't. They told you tostop doing that though, thought that was
your resolution from that. That's whatthey want. That's not what I want.
And it's about the team, youknow, I said. I just
I posted something on Facebook like receiptsare being kept, you know, flock
together or flock off. They're doingdefend your tweet. They're doing a segment
(41:29):
basically, and uh and I soI just, you know, I told
the story of what was going oneverything. But it was like I was,
I was. I was definitely strugglebust party of one at that point.
I was. I kept it together. I talked to the you know,
area president and all that stuff.I was like, hey, everything's
great. And then I went home, I took a super hot shower and
I got back to work. Butlike that, that was a big part
(41:50):
of this morning. Like it's justthere's ayah. We talked about some of
this earlier. It just feels weirdand maybe you didn't hear it. Just
everyone bought into this narrative from adifferent personality slash organization. I'm not a
how to say names, and justlike people that are our people, like
you know what I mean, Likeyou're like I would if if the Red
(42:14):
Sox started posting things about the Yankees, I wouldn't be like, how dare
you Yankees? What are you doing? I'd be like, wait a minute,
is there any truth behind what theRed Sox are saying? And then
I still would defend the Yankees.I'm a Yankee fan. Like there's a
group of people out there who callthemselves Firebird fans who saw stuff from other
places and like people who have hatedon us online forever and went, oh
(42:37):
my god, I can't believe theydid that. And I'm just like,
two things, we didn't do.It not true. Uh, the truth
is way cleaner and more fun forus, and more importantly, like why
wouldn't you wait to hear from us? And then like people but there too.
(43:01):
And by the way, it's acan't miss Flock University Saturday morning at
nine am right here on Fox SportsRadio ninety five, nine nine eighty.
The editing was interesting and it's definitelycan't miss it. Is it is.
The editing was so much that Iactually did something it for you the way
that's like I didn't there was there'smoments in life where I'm just like,
I can't put all this on Gods, everyone got a chance, you know,
(43:25):
like like Mike Korda is on theshow to start Damon where if it
completely says what he what he feels. Uh. Darius Prince was was on
one. He was after it.You know. I I was just a
traffic cop last night. But itwas it was powerful and it was moving.
People were like, you guys arecoming off as arrogant. It's just
(43:46):
hold on a second. Is itarrogant or confidence? Like we've done it,
you know what I mean? Likewe're we're not saying we're gonna do
anything we haven't done before. Andone of the things was, you know,
we've been pretty clear, like theref the referees have had have had
a rough year for like a coupleof reasons. People are like, you
(44:07):
can't talk about referees like that.Okay, We're not doing it to cause
problems. We're doing it because wewant we believe in this league and we
want the oversight that belongs in it. So if this is how we're gonna
get the attention on the situation,then so be it. This is what
we'll do. But it's just like, but when it's your people, that'd
be like trying to think of who'swho's who do you hate? Who are
(44:31):
your your media rivals? Sure,my media rivals. For the sick of
this conversation, we'll say the retiredPete Doherty, all right, that'd be
like Pete Doherty going, Levac triedto make out with your wife, guys
and blah blah blah, and yougoing what, I can't believe it and
never asking me or your wife whathappened? You know what? That's very
(44:52):
much Pete Dorty like, but hewould he would, wouldn't he? No,
I know, but but I'm sayinglike that's kind of what it felt
like. That's what it felt like. These people are like they're the same
people who call and ask me forstuff, the same people will look for
access, and then they didn't doany of that. It really bothered me.
It really bothered me. So Iwent off a little bit last night.
I don't have any issue. AndI'm glad you shared that with Quinn
(45:13):
Hinter, and I'm glad you sharedit here before we got off the heir,
because that stuff in the world oftwenty twenty four, when there are
platforms and outlets and in this case, radio stations where you can actually offer
up what really happened, there isa strength to that, to the truth
hunt set you free. To PeteDoherty's reference, Yeah, when you email
somebody once a week for five yearsand then all of a sudden something controversial
happens, you're like, well,we heard from the station that must have
(45:36):
been what happened. You have justtest me. You emailed me for five
years, really don't. I've sharedthat story before too. I had a
nice, heated conversation with him insection two two ten acted like nothing,
but it's not about me, it'sabout what you talk about today. But
like, no, but I'm gladyou know you got to talk about that,
(45:57):
and I'm glad people, whether you'rejust listening right now or anything else.
That is the good part about theworld now that you can find out
exactly what happened. And one moreplug for Flock University. It will be
a fun episode and no firebird actionthis week, and who knows it's so
good. Who knows you might hearit again next week because of the bye
week's coming up and everything else.That's an evergreen episode of Flock Universe that
we're out there. You know howI love that Madden thing where it's like
(46:21):
people think we you know, we'rebullies and we push people around or whatever.
Yeah, what do you do aboutit? That's what Flock University was.
It was. It was that momentof we're sick and tired of doing
what we're told to do and holdingourselves back, and we went off and
maybe we went off a little toofar, and maybe there'll have to be
(46:43):
apologies at some point, but we'lldo that from the trophy stand. When
we win the championship, that's whenwe're at ArenaBowl down in an American Dream
Center, like, that's that's whenwe'll That's what I'll say. I'll hold
the trophy up. I'm sorry.Everybody whose feelings we hurt this year.
Come kiss this trophy. That's that'swhen I'll do it. Do we have
