(00:00):
It's time for the Top four fourwith Levac and guys of July. I
just I've been there. I'm already. I'm ready. I'm ready to do
the fourth of July. All Right, it is the time for the Top
four fourths, brought to you bymomog Condo, where the alley's got to
please you. Guys, what's thefourth biggest story you got like six days
(00:21):
of the fourth of July. Yes, says you. I'm very patriotic.
You said what it is if Idon't celebrate the fourth in July. First,
I'm not saying it makes you unpatriotic. I'm just saying I'm it makes
me more patriotic. I'm wearing redright and blue sneakers. Look at that's
nice. This is what I ampatriarch. I watched every minute of the
(00:43):
debate. I turned down the volumeand put w g y on. I
lied to that style. I tried. I watched a lot of It made
me sad, made me really sad. We're I don't know how to put
this delicately, kids, We're screwed. Go ahead, We'll move on to
orry number four before our anchor emailstarts to let up a jury and the
(01:03):
US District Court ordered the NFL topay more than four point seven billion dollars
in damages Yes Stardy, after rulingthe league violated anti trust laws in out
of market Sunday afternoon games and apremium subscription service. Levak, we're talking
about the Sunday ticket lawsuit. Ifeel like we should dive deeper into this
actually an hour number three maybe becausethere's a lot going on here, but
(01:26):
hearing that the NFL lost, Ithink it's the first thing that jumps out
to me. Were you surprised thiswas actually even the verdict in this case
a little bit, But it's it'sone of those things, like legally speaking,
they were given certain certain rights,certain permissions that to be a trust
like like you're they're allowed to doit at certain levels. But obviously this
(01:52):
ruling shows that this is the waythey did the Sunday ticket violates some of
the some of the things that theywere given. And I kind of I
do. I do like the governmentgoing listen, we're letting you crap on
the anti trust laws. But you'reyou're definitely just not gonna do it the
way you're doing it. Okay,you're gonna you're not gonna host people this
bat. We're gonna let you hostpeople. Don't get me wrong. The
(02:12):
hose, they'll get the house,but not a fire hose. It's gotta
be a garden host. Guys.There's a huge impact on this, not
just the NFL, but if youare a sports fan. I think it's
easy to say, but true everysingle sports league. Watch that decision,
yep. And what it means forsports fans for the future, and how
you get your product and why andwhat well do you did hear this?
(02:35):
You do hear the four bills justthe beginning. This could balloon up to
well over fourteen billion that THEOPI ooh, let's save that for our number three,
because I gotta follow up for that. I want to get to it,
and I'm gonna move on to quicklyto story number three. Pun intended
guard Emmanuel quickly his said he intendswho signed a five year, one and
seventy five million dollar contract to staywith the Toronto Raptors. Quickly his agents
(03:00):
said, the front of office isthe last day of the deal. It's
gonna happen. He's part of theDeerings long term future. Twenty five years
old. You might remember, ofcourse, this time with the New York
Knicks, he's involved in that tradewith RJ. Barrett back from earlier this
season. The fact we knew thatquickly probably wasn't gonna be a Nick for
the future. He played himself outof New York, and usually when you
(03:21):
hear that term, it means somethingmental or physical may have happened. You
couldn't handle New York. Instead,he got too good, and the team
new, hey man, we're notgonna pay you. You can go make
your money something else, do somethingelse. That still seems like a lot
of what what's the number again?Buy for one seventy five? Okay,
I guys, everyone listening, Iintend to sign a five year, one
(03:46):
hundred and seventy five, one hundredand seventy five million dollar deal with iHeart
of Albany. I intend to dothat. I feel like the front office
of the Raptors feels just like PresidentGrinder down the hall right now, going
what you can intend, whatever youwant. I didn't offer that that.
It's probably real, But isn't thatone of the more ridiculous NBA contracts they've
(04:10):
seen? You didn't he didn't startfor the Knicks, right if I came
off the bench. I mean,obviously we looked at that trade differently.
I thought like he was. Itwas like, that's you know, it's
a sexy build up piece. Whatever. It almost feels like they're like,
all right, we'll take r J. Barrett if he come us to Manuel
quickly. He started all the gamesfor the Raptors. Let me add that
(04:31):
didn't start for the next started allof him for the Raptors. But still,
what's the Canadian exchange rate? Iguess? So now four hundred million
dollars where the Toronto Raptors are tiedup in Emmanuel quickly in Scottie Barnes.
Maybe I'm a hater. Wow,Scottie Barnes and Emmanuel quickly combined her worth
four hundred million dollars for a Raptorteam that didn't win thirty games last season.
(04:53):
We gotta be able to get likethirty five k out of them,
right between the two of us.If those guys aren't that much, the
Raptors gotta be like, all right, Levac guys forty two thousand dollars in
duty free cigarettes, Like I don'twhatever, I don't care. Let's do
that math quick, right, soquickly averaged eighteen points a game. He's
getting paid one hundred and seventy fivemillion dollars for five years, So that's
(05:15):
about thirty five million a year.If we broke it down to if he's
worth a half a million dollars forevery point he scores, we're in the
rotation. You know, we couldbe one hundred thousand per point. Levack
and I could figure that out.You know what, Bac I like where
this is somebody took the math forme. Our value in the NBA by
not scoring is similar to this.What did j Porter make? I feel
(05:38):
like? I feel like we're righton par taking a lot of unders in
the Lavaccan house. Yeah, letme just take what he was betting.
I'm in. I'll make this declarationright now. Levack and I and all
the years have known each other.I believe we've only participated in the flag
football game against the campus police yearsago. But if you want him beer,
(05:58):
Boll counts, Beerbalk counts, softball, baseball, pickell, pick a
ball, pickle they throw a teain there, pickleball, basketball, we
will need to be paid from thismoment on after that contract. It's called
the Emmanuel quickly rule. We feellike our worth is at least fifty thousand
dollars to show up to your event. Bulla Agna's IQ rule right like it.
I like it. I'm in II normally I don't agree with you
(06:21):
when it comes to financial ideas.I'm with you on this one. I
told you we could be paid todo physical activity. We're closer and closer
every day. Astros and Mets isstory number two. The red hot Mets
taking down the Houston Astros, oneof the best, if not the best,
franchise in baseball for the last tenseasons, but Houston trying to find
their way in the American League.Both teams sit at five hundred. I
(06:42):
like a very interesting series for bothfranchise is getting underway this afternoon. But
believe just a Saturday Saturday that getsunderway. Wait, I'm lost, what
happened? I just I'm sorry,I just saw really weird news. I
apologize. It's my fault. That'swe say in Houston and New York the
Mets were both five hunter teams,and that the series on Saturday gets under
(07:02):
way at four ten. The overallseries gets on our way tonight. It's
seven ten. Okay, all rights, So I thought, I'm sorry,
I just looked ill with you ina moment some some some stuff happening over
over here at the presidential portal.I definitely said all that stuff too,
So you have to go back andlisten to what I really said. Okay,
(07:23):
good. I thought I was like, because normally I can keep track
of the two at once. Uh, Houston, the Mets. I hate
Houston. I like the Mets.Let's go Mets, Let's go Mets,
Let's go Grimace. I heard thegreatest description this morning. We talked a
little bit about during the rain delaywhen the Mets were slapping the daylights out
of the out of the Yankees,and then you go inside and Grimace is
like leading. It was I thinkit was Geo from Boomer and Geo said,
(07:46):
it's like the Cult of Grimace,as he's like standing up leading them
all in chance. Like it looked. It's no like Mets fans. You're
no longer Mets fans. You're notthe seven Line Army, none of those
things. You're now the Cult ofGrimmace. That's who you are now.
He didn't mean it that way,but that's how I heard it. Match
fans are now get Junior year,Junior Year. The part of the cult
(08:07):
of Grimace, poor Grimace is beingheld up is this huge godlike figure.
He is what has brought us tothis. He's a deity now he is.
He's a false idol. Sometimes Iwonder about what the start of the
world was like. If it wasthat easy, like just one big purple
thing was making good things happen.We now worship him. We mean the
(08:30):
start of the world. People worshipan orange man some days. And let's
move on to story number one.I just like doing it because I'm in
the gy studio and I know it'sdriving them nuts. That's the best part
about this, It's the best option. That's the best part. Now in
the sports world of twenty twenty four, we don't know what Aggle were hitting
(08:52):
you on. I thought he waswith me against said on this side of
that side. We gotta cover allthe bases. I follow the joke,
okay, wherever if I think,I was raised with one simple rule.
If you're gonna be rude, youto be funny. And as long as
I think is funny, it's goodenough for me. Whatever sign you're on,
what's all in crea. Take alittle joke. This is not the
political show, although we are inthe g y studio. Yeah, let
(09:13):
me let me all right, holdon, let me guys put on the
musica. Please. Sure, whateverside of the political venture on, it's
the wrong side. Okay, goahead, all right, Storry Number one,
The New York Yankees take on theToronto Blue Jays seven oh seven.
First pitch out in the Yankees loss. We'll dive deeper into that matchup,
what game two can mean. Anda certain hot player for the Blue Jays,
(09:35):
My goodness, I know it looksokay, he's like attractive. I
wouldn't call him hot if that's thesame thing we were talking about. We'll
dive deeper into that coming up here. But first before we do all that,

It's the climb. Very cool.Uh, you know who's gotta start

playing good baseball? Yankees? Howabout you stop running my life? Next
right here on Fox Sports Radio,it's Lovak and Guys on the Voice of
(11:46):
the Capitol Regions Sports fan Fox Sportsninety five, nine and nine eighty.
It's the sports guys are real.Karma is real. Uh, Grimace is
a god. Now, yes,all have the purple monster that like tries
(12:07):
to get me to eat French fries. Is created fun And on the twelfth
day, Grimace created the giant applethat comes out of the hat when we
hit home runs. Can you imaginethat poor pop Tart guy who got to
eat oh Hop tar boys like thiswas supposed to be made Grimace. This
chap disciple, the eating pop Toddwho has died for your sins? That
(12:31):
always goes huh yep. People startsaying how great you are. The next
thing, you know, start eatingyou. Such a weird that's still the
visual of that still haunts me.Of the pop Tart willingly going into the
giant toaster, coming out and beingtorn asunder to be to be just devoured
by the winning team like this,it's such a weird everybody concept's amazing.
(12:54):
That's next of the people who area part of that Bowl game never say
broke character. His media members werelike, what do you mean he's gonna
be eating There's there's not a person. What are you talking about? We're
gonna eat this man a live heis a pop tart. What do you
no? No, no, seriously, we got a little cult either,
didn't it. It was religions involvingGod's right. Honestly, think about it.
(13:16):
It's communion. It's like weird thatwe here at Levac and guys Fox
Sports Radio see every religion as therespectful, wonderful thing that you think it
is. We just because we liveslightly differently doesn't mean we think any less
of you, you freaks. Allright, so let's just then Levac abducted
(13:37):
over the weekend. Go ahead,I'm heavy. You gotta hurt your backs.
Bring a lot of you Yankee sucktwo and eight, last ten,
there's they're just they're listen, amI am? I wrong? They've lost
four straight. So get this,you lost four straight? You you have
(13:58):
no one back to back games saidyou played the Royals, the Yankees.
The Yankees have not won back toback games since they played the Royals.
That means that they lost two ofthree to the Red Sox, two of
three to the Oriols, two ofthree to the Braves, two to the
(14:20):
Mets, and now one to theBlue Jays. George Springer three for three
with two three run homers. CarlosRodan had a horrible night. I do
respect him for fighting it out.He's like, dude, I got it.
Let me pitch five, let meprotect the bullpen. Though. Who
was I can't think of the kid'sname, the bullpen pitcher of the relief
(14:41):
pitcher who was running out when whenRodan convinced it was Bickford. So Rodan's
talking to talking to Aaron Boone onthe mound. He convinces Boon limps stay
in. Nobody grabbed Bickford. Victor'srunning across the outfield to come out.
I think you see him go arewhat? No, I'm not not now
(15:03):
no le okay runs back to thebullpen. Oh my god, it was
this. They're just they're they're twentyone over five hundred. The sky is
not falling, but this is Everythingthat can go wrong is going wrong.
Stanton being out sucks. Rizzo beingout sucks. Uh. Jason de Mingez
can't come up and help out yet. Uh. The Rice at first base
(15:28):
had one of the dumbest bonehead movesI've seen. And look he I'll give
the kid credit because they all theyall like huddled around him at his locker
after the game, because if youdidn't see it, if you don't think
you have a chance to tag therunner at first and you think the ball
might go foul, you let itroll. The problem is that if that
(15:52):
ball stays fair, hits the basegoes six feet away from you, and
now the under his safe, you'regonna get stink eye from the pitcher.
Okay, you're gonna which is whathappened. And they all asked him like
oo, Carlos, he goes,dude, He's no, He's fine.
He was he's out there battling.I made a mistake. So I'll give
the kid credit because he sounded alittle, a little wise beyond his years.
(16:15):
But it's just everything that can gowrong is going wrong for the ink.
Can we rewatch the rice? I'verewatched that like six or something times.
I want to make sure I'm seeingwhat everyone else is seen, because
when I first see it happen,and then I see, of course social
media start to torch the poor kid. The biggest boneheaded play you'll ever see
it. It was stupid, Butthe stupid part is he laid it out
(16:36):
pretty well there where it's like Okay, you want the ball to go foul.
You're wait and wait, wait wait, wait, and you think it's
gonna go foul. No need touchuntil it goes foul. Watch it one
more time. I think they're real. Rides the chalk, Yeah, it
definitely rides chuck, but I thinkthe boneheaded play. And I don't know
if he got nervous he saw therunner coming, he starts to run to
first base without the ball. Wellwatch it again. Yeah, like he
(16:57):
thought like he thought Roda was gonnaget it, toss it to him right
like nobody's there. So that's whyhe's getting roasted because it's like he can't
still. I think he's still hadplenty of times to scoop and tag.
He absolutely did. Now he thoughtthat ball was gonna go foul, and
then it got too close and thenhe's like a brain far is the term
all you use, Like, yeah, uh, just touch the bag.
I don't have the ball. What'sgoing on? That to me is the
(17:18):
headline of that game. Rice isplayed first base because of what's happening with
the micro Yes, because of what'shappening with the Blue Jays. The blue
Jays have been terrible. The BlueJays at one point within the last week
and week and a half at thelongest losing streak in baseball, and since
then, Lad Junior has become oneof the biggest power hitters at baseball.
(17:40):
Look, Lad Junior has always beengood. He's been tons of hype around
him. A home run Derby's nottoo far away? Can we get Lad
Junior and another home run Derby?Because it's always fun. Lad Junior has
hit four home runs in his lastsix games. I believe that's right around
the time there was talks and rumorsabout him potentially being traded. And then
of course course what'd he do lastnight against the Yankees. It goes deep.
(18:03):
Yeah, the situation with Vlad Juniorwas a rainbow too. Do you
see it like it was? Ithought it was a foul I thought it
was gonna be out at the warningtruck, not a foul ball out of
the warning truck. And it justkept going, just kept going. So
you've got vladd Junior, who inhis career, there was times way back
when when he's sitting in the miners, they're like, you know what,
he could be an outfielder. Hisdad had an unbelievable arm. Maybe he's
(18:25):
gonna have an unbegea blue arm.And then he uh enjoyed food and then
they're like, you know what,he's probably too slow to be an outfielder.
Let's put him at third base.And I was at that week in
Toronto in twenty nineteen when he'd justgotten called up and he smashed one about
three sixty and it was already ina home run trot and he had a
single, so they already get annoyed. Then he made a play at third
base where Tim Lecastro, former Yankee, I believe he's with the Mets Padres
(18:48):
now uh slow roller to third Lad'staking his sweet old time brown ball.
The third of the Castro beat himout. I believe that was the week
where they thought that's not gonna bea thing thing anymore. He's got to
play first base. So when yousee Ladd Junior smashing dingers moonshots, one
of the hottest bats in baseball,and you're watching port Rice at first base
(19:11):
not knowing what to do with theball in his hand, and he has
he's a nice player, But whenyou're in a pennanty, right, but
when you're in an Al East chasewhen you know the windows still open,
and it always is for the theGuardians are playing better. In fact,
didn't have any impact for you whereyou're ever having moments last night where you're
like, just bring him over,can we switch? Uniform said that yesterday
(19:34):
before they even played Like crap Iwas like, let's just take him.
She said, it is a choke. Let's just trade led Jendor straight up.
Well, no, I mean that'sI mean, if that's a trade,
we can make Green, which justapproved it. Yeah, thats a
Corey trader, right, Coy,Yeah, Corey. Well no, I
was like, just let's just keepLad on the way out. Let's just
go ahead and you can play yourfinal three with with the Blue Jays,
(19:55):
and then you'll just leave with uswhen we when we leave Toronto. And
that'll guarantee that Rice end up beingan All Star at some point, because
he'll because he'll be out. It'sthe the It would be great to have
Vlack grow, but I think theproblems are so much it's it's all gonna
be okay, let's all it's it'stake a second, it's gonna be okay,
(20:18):
Like it's gonna you you you're goodenough. This is gonna come together.
But everything's going wrong at once,and teams are getting healthy on you
like it's It's like the Mets shouldnot be able to validate themselves and become
a five hundred team against the Yankeeslike that the two game win is that
(20:38):
shouldn't happen. The Blue Jays shouldnot be finding their their their stride against
the Yankees, like that's not theway it's supposed to work, especially not
this season. I know, asI mentioned earlier, the sports gods Karma
Police grim his his almighty Grimace popTart. I know that I was too
(21:00):
happy, and then I've caused thiswith my victory dances and my mockery of
everyone else. I know that thisis partially my fault. I know.
I know that Stanton's hamstring is becauseI said he was healthy. Wait,
wait, stuff, real quick?Can we give this in like a confession
Booth and the Catholic Church, right, come on in, come on in
for forgive me sports father, forI have sinned. I was extremely arrogant.
(21:25):
I touched the money, I touchedthe Stanley Cup. I talked about
championships in June. I mocked myco host because his team is actually,
they're still just as crappy as weare right now, which is the reason
we're free. I'm sorry. Isaid that Stanton was gonna be healthy all
(21:47):
year. I said that Aaron Judgewould be who was already MVP, and
I was already making a spot.I took the commemorative Johnny Walker Yankees that
I sall drink when they win theWorld Series. It's in the freezer.
I put in the freezer, notopened yet, not open. I didn't
open it yet, but it's butit is ready. It's it's gonna be
(22:07):
October drinking, if you know.But I did all that in June.
Grimace, the Pops, heart andthe Holy Spirit have heard you. Bless
your son. You now must goand do five our Fathers for how Mary's
and tell your co host his hairlooks nice. Sorry, sorry, I
just can't do that last part.It still has doesn't there on the floor
(22:29):
floor there, head, don't comeback. You have to have to repeat
the Autumn Wind seven times? Feelcleans? Did you feel better? Hell?
They win tonight. We'll have todo this more frequently. Daily Confessions,
Oh man, it was, It'sjust you've owned it. You've owned
(22:52):
your your sins and you hope thatthe sports gods have heard you today and
the Yankees, well find a wayto fix this. Who's the slumpbuster?
Right? Because it wasn't. Itwasn't call, It wasn't heel. It
wasn't it wasn't rode On. Isis Marcus Marcus stroman' is a pitching good?
Does Marcus Stroman go out there againstone of his former clubs? Shut
(23:14):
him down so the Yankees can getright? And then and then is it?
You know, Cortes, this isthe mustache happen? Is it?
Is it good? Like? Becauseright now I think you need somebody needs
to be the one who looks ateverybody else and goes, hey guys,
hey guys, everybody listen here.I know, I know, we're two
and eight in the last ten games. We haven't won back to back games
(23:36):
since Kansas City. Uh, butwe're the freaking Yankees and we're good okay,
and then win. I got apick for this. Really, seriously,
as much as we just had funwith that, there's somebody here for
the New York Yankees that needs tohave that moment. It's a weekend,
there's some big game still on theway, here's the person needs to have
(23:57):
that moment, Aaron Boone, Becauseyou could go through the history of Aaron
Boone is a manager for the Yankees, He's had moments like this. Remember
the John Boy media basically has madea company off the first time the Savages
in the Box. Boone has beentossed a bunch in his career, but
he almost lost the luster of like, wow, Demander's getting tossed because he
(24:18):
is so fiery. But if youwant to give credit to Aaron Boone,
like this is something that has workedin the past that it's made headlines.
His passion comes through, it firesup the troops, it does all these
things. It feels far more likea basketball tactic than a baseball tactic of
let me get a tee to fireup the home crowd to get these guys
back into the game. We've talkedto coaches before who've done that. This
(24:40):
feels like this has to be AaronBoone because the raw Ros speech you're talking
about, LEVACTI changed the attitude ofthe clubhouse. Figure out the confidence boost.
This is what Aaron Boone has beenpaid to do. Way back when
Aaron Boone was hired after Joe Jarardiwas let go that was talked about.
He can connect with players differently,feels a different side of the game.
He's done this before. He's gonnahave a feeling of the dugout. He's
(25:06):
passionate about the game. He's gota great fan These are all the strengths
that Aaron Boone had been talked aboutwhen he was hired as the manager of
the Yankees. This should be AaronBoone, the one who can change this,
the one who can change something,whether it's a lineup, a rotation
attitude. Aaron Boone is the answerto your question of who that guy needs
to be. Uh. I don'twant to I want to full heel and
(25:29):
learn from Judge. I want toJudge to his clothes line somebody or Rice
whoever. I don't care. Idon't care who it is. I hope
you're right, and I think it. You know, I actually think Stroman
does pitch really well today, Firchnot I should say, maybe maybe I'll
work that into my play of theday. But it's it's becoming difficult to
(25:49):
stay rational. Like that's where we'reat. I've I've crossed the threshold of
insane fan to where like Hey,it's one hundred sixt two games, you're
twenty one over five hundred. Sureyou did just give up first place in
the East to the Orioles for thefirst time since what the first like week
or two of the season. Itfeels like whatever it was, all these
things, plenty of time to writethe ship, everything to be fine.
(26:11):
I'm not that person who goes aguy. I'm not. But but that
dude is he's not far back rightnow, like he's ready, he's ready.
He's he's clawing away at the insidea stop losing, like I'm I
need, I need some wins rightnow. One of our sales guys is
walking around the parking lot. Helooks completely lost. He looks look at
(26:34):
him. What is he doing where? I was gonna know the political juke
there right over the plate though,Look what is he? Is he concerned
about something on the roof of thebuilding. Oh, he's discussing his golf
handicap. No, he's just wanderingthe parking lot. It is nice seeing
the Oriols on top of the aleleast, all right, you know what,
I enjoy it, enjoy It ain'tgonna last. Oh, I have
(26:57):
a tough question for you, though, Before we talk about a wonderful sponsor,
I have a tough question for youright here. I'm not I'm please,
and you don't what doculous. Ifyou're a Yankee fan listening gods at
iHeartMedia dot com so Levac doesn't publiclyshame, you can send it to me
in private if you want a raretime, I'll share the email just to
you and I listening. Someone givesyou one hundred bucks right now, you
(27:19):
gotta walk over to River's Casino andResort for a team to win the American
League? Do you feel like Baltimoreis the better bet today than the New
York Yankees have ever been? Likenow today? Maybe you were already betting
on the Oa's, but it feelslike today, during this losing streak,
Baltimore has become the favorite. I'mnot sure if that's reflected at Rivers or
DraftKings or FanDuel or anything else youinvest. I'm biased to that, obviously.
(27:45):
I take the Orioles. The Guardiansare coming up. Maybe you're biased
to the Yankees, but one hundredbucks has the tide shift for you?
No, it hasn't. I'm allin on the Aes tried. I just
saw this real quick headline popped upfor me. But a lot of people
are making jokes about the Hawktua girl. The dude who figured out like put
(28:10):
he's selling hats then like like apresidential campaign, Haktua twenty four, spit
on that thing got her to signa bunch of stuff. This dude apparently
has made over sixty five thousand dollarsin in hats. Whoa with herst with
with with hook two on it?What is wrong with us? We have
a website like we have with ourfriends at elevation ten thousand. They built
(28:36):
us a store at levaggos dot com, and we didn't think to put Hawktua
on some shirts and stuff. Wedeserve to be poor, guys, We
deserve to be poor. We havethe people who tell us how to do
marketing elevation ten thousand, how todo web design elevation ten thousand. Not
only did they tell us how todo a store for Levagguy's merchandise, they
(28:56):
built the merchandise, built the store. I just had to give them the
website to work on. I shouldgive them access, and we didn't think
to do hawk to This is ourproblem. This is we dropped the ball.
We don't want you to drop theball though. Elevation drop that.
We dropped the shirt, we droppedthe hawk to we dropped it all.
If you've got a really good ideathat you're doing for your business, or
(29:18):
you feel like your team's connecting withsomething, whether it's those fun polos,
the new logo, a way toconnect on social media, and you need
someone behind you to share that idea. You want to get po's attention,
Maybe you need a new new logo. They'll help you make it. Have
you seen the whole video, likethe seven minute video, I have to
admit the person who did the editingand works that social media whoever, that
person is nice job. Yeah,because she wanders a lot too. She's
(29:41):
out there. It's not an easyedit that person had to do. So
maybe you need some I mean withyour social media or you Elevation ten dollars,
You can do that. Elevation tenthousands. Do you know what?
Honestly, guys, hey, DaveMcut's number out of our phones. What

because we want to make some money. We will. That's exactly where we're
trying to make some money. Maybewe could do it next LEVAKA the Play
of the Day. I don't likeour chances. We're kind of stupid.
It's Fox Sports Radio ninety five ninevakingguys on ninety five to nine Fox Sports
Radio. So it's funny because we'reabout to do the Play of the Day.
(30:52):
But I saw this story and itspoke to me, and I think
it's gonna speak to you guys.And then we're in the Commerdier. We're
just about to come back and Igot starts freaking out because there's a computer
that we need that's not working beforewe come back. So I'm like,
okay, now I know it's gonnaspeak to you. Did you happen the
(31:12):
NBA draft coverage? I watched alittle you know what I mean. I
watched what I could on on Wednesdaynight when we were in here on Thursday.
I paid a little bit of attention, but that's about it. I
didn't see when when Sham's how yousay, Shams Narnia, the Lion,
(31:33):
the Witch and the NBA reporter thefuture, mister Kay Adams. I think
those two will eventually start dating.I thought, isn't she with? No,
She's with isn't she Katie Nolan?Yeah, the same thing. She's
engaged the comedian Soda. Yeah.So Sham's is doing his job and you
(31:56):
see him become more and more frustratedon the screen and then he goes to
X. My account keeps getting locked. It turns out that there was something
wrong with X during the draft.So not only Chams, but Jake Fisher,
who is part of Yahoo he's theinsider for Yahoo Sports, was having
(32:20):
an issue their their their X accountskept getting locked for quote unusual activity.
Can you think that'd be like Schefterduring the NFL draft? Maybe not chefter
Ter, No, no, no, Chefter's a perfect comparrassony. But like
Chefter's woad, like Weld is stillbigger than Cham's, right, Jake Glazers,
Yeah, like the next next leveldown, you would lose your ever
(32:44):
loving you. Your head would explode. You wouldn't know what to do with
yourself. His job is to getI was engagement farm and the farm locked
him out. They locked him outof the farm. I think that's you
know what you're trying to get it, but you engaged with farming. That's
what he's doing. He's looking forengagements on his on his X to get
he would say he's reporting draft picks. That says, if you're reporting trafficks.
(33:07):
He wouldn't care about X. Hewould look up at the TV screen
and go, hey, Bronnie's goingbecause he was the one who first got
the Bronni going Australia thing, HeyBronni's going to Australia. If you're not
careful, no, no, it'sI gotta get on AXT because I got
to make sure I get all theattention so that when he's the athletic now
right, stadium, all that stuff. Yeah, I got I gotta get
(33:27):
that. I gotta get those engagementsfor the for the stadium. So yeah,
no, no, you're wrong.I'm right on this one. You
know what, vac, I thinkit's time. I didn't plan on doing
this, but I have a theoryand it's definitely a conspiracy. Oh,
this is too much. It's toothat's my conspiracy. You unlock this door
(33:49):
with the key of imagination. Beyondit's another dimension, a dimension where journalistic
integrity is thrown out the window.You've entered a dimension where Levekin goes will
discuss conspiracies with no real evidence exceptwhat's in their own minds. You've just
crossed into the conspiracy. So wehave one liner that's not Cally Satan's Lufacon
(34:10):
gods and our brain's too long.It's pretty long. That's not he did
it wrong. But my theory isthat boj hacked him. My theory is
that are you So you're telling meshops on Draft Day and everybody else is
an NBA reporter can't get out onthe most important day of their careers.
You can argue day one of freeinghe's more important. But that's a little
(34:32):
staggered. So day one more storieswon't come the day you pinpoint one day
and you could say day two ismore important with Bronni this year. Woj
is behind this. Woch is behindthe Dan Hurley hiring a Yukon again because
he wrote the book about his dad. He was the one who leaked it.
Woj is behind Bronnie James. Wojhas been playing the game. Think
(34:54):
about what adried. Wojanowski used tobe a very good sports writer. He
sold his soul to the devil,and he became wo literal woj bomb.
They've all done it. Mike Greenbergbecame Greeny. I don't want to say
the other one because the show airsbefore us. It just became a four
(35:15):
letter word heard, heard. They'veall sold themselves for inside stories. Woch
is behind this, There's no otheranswer. Yeah, it was it was
his working. If his was workingright, the little odd the little uh
Wojo maniacs were out there trying tohack into Shams and Fisher and everybody else.
(35:37):
I see it. I believe itbecause if you're on Twitter, you're
looking for stories, you're searching ondraft day for those guys, and if
once not working, you're like,I guess this isn't working. I'll stay
on this one. That's classic,classic Woach, classic Woach. That's what
he does. He's known. Didn'tyou have a Woje account at one point?
Well, he's went off the diveinto the details. Did I change
(35:57):
my name? Didn't you try tocatfish everyone? Oh? No, no,
no, no. I just wroteTom Wodranowski, hoping I'd get more
followers when people would search his lastname and get it confuse with my Twitter
account. I never changed my mind. You engagement farmed by lying it was
at one point I had a differentidentity on Twitter. I didn't und say
(36:21):
catfish people. I don't know ifI ever did breaking news, but maybe
I should have. Maybe I wasbefore Dove Cleman and all the others.
You're telling me you don't believe byconspiracy theory that woj or somebody's behind this.
It's definitely so. My thought wasthat people were trying to hack their
accounts during it. I didn't thinkit was Wojes right away. I'm not
(36:42):
gonna say that's wrong. Maybe it'smal Kiper. Maybe Kuiper's just like,
listen, I don't like all thisdraft attention for anything going to other people,
But no, I kind of.I definitely think there was some some
tom foolery, some foul play goingon. If you can get if you
can get bron James's kid drafted inthe second round and then go on Sports
Center and say, hey, nepotismhappens all over the place, and play
(37:06):
that game, you can definitely getsomebody's Twitter acting odd during the biggest night
that you needed something. It wassomething to it again, I just thought
randos were We're sneaking in and doingthe whole uh you know, subed refuge.
Do you want me to play theopener again? No? I,
I mean the show will be overif you if you do, so,
let's not do that. So yeah, so so Sham's didn't get to be
(37:29):
full blown shaums during during the NBADraft because of if you believe guys,
Adrian Waldernowski hacked the Dodo out ofhis X just hacked it. Hacky hack
uh time board. The Play ofthe day is brought to you by Mohawks
Chevrolet Tailor's Drive in Mark Shevy wherethey always go out of their way to
please you guys, you gotta playsort of well, I sort of do
(37:53):
I want to. This is theroad to the PS five. You missed
it earlier in the show. We'rejust gonna keep winning. We're gonna be
a big, hairy winning machine allsummer long, theg Harry American Way Machine.
I feel like the minus one fifteenplus one oh five bets aren't doing
it for me. So I'm tryingto find a bigger dog tonight to start
barking. I need a dog tostart barking. Oh but uh, can
(38:16):
you go first? Can you go? Yep? I'm ready pastraight parlay.

a Homer Latty with a hit Yankeesmoney line. Those are two plays today
thanks to Mark Chevrolet. He shotMark Chevy the way please you. One
of your previous professional incarnations was runninga podcast network. Yes, what'd you
(40:07):
do to everybody when you left?Just like, just give him the bird
and tell them to figure it out. No, he was one of your
podcasters. He still created his ownpodcast's, but he was one of yours.
I don't. I don't clean peopleback. I don't. Is that
how you feel batter about yourself?That? No, Dry, It's like
I'm going back to the rescue radio. You get to own in the world
(40:31):
of twenty twenty four. You stillhave me money for that. I feel
like I brought in a lot moremoney that was given. I don't owe
you any of course, you don'tthink you do. In the world of
twenty twenty four. You own yourown content. They owned their stuff.
I helped. They were under theumbrella, but they owned their own content.
That's his own RSS feed. Hecan do his own sponsorships, he
(40:52):
can go out and do what hethere's no non compete clause. Yeah,
those guys have their own shows todo what they want. We're happy we
were able to do. How didyou break up with them? There's still
break up? Well, because likethe platform's gone, right O. The
platform is still around all but stillexists. And just because like you took
it away from me, it's notaccess to it. I had access to
(41:13):
to the one thing I think youdid. I was using your stream yard
for a while. Yeah that aboutpaying for m hmm. But it's still
around. People can go back andlisten Getting There with Gods. People can
listen to the people can listen toGoz on the Go. There's only one
Getting There with Gods that was worthlistening to when I was All those things
(41:35):
are still out there. The contentdoesn't disappear. I didn't take any of
it down. The YouTube channel stillout there, you know what I'm saying.
Like you gave them, like yougave them access, You gave them
all this stuff, and you knowthey you know, I'm sure you charge
them heavily for it because you're cheap. But like and then you just walked
away, just like I'm going backto Radio with the back peace girls.
I feel like you think I neededto fire them slowly? But should you?
(41:58):
No? No, I would.I know that You're like, did
you have a breakup conversation? Likewhat did you say to everybody when when
Godzilla Media went away? It's stillaround. It's not just it's on a
pause, it's just contents not beingcreated. There was never like a brain.
I'm saying that that's where they weredoing their content and then they weren't.
They still are on there on theirown platform, So it's what I'm
(42:21):
saying, But you went that wouldbe like this would be like, go
ahead, I want to say Barstoollike a cat decided to leave bar Like
if Barstool went away, what dothey say to big Cat? A better
comparison would probably be like this.It'd be like call me daddy, right,
call me daddy. Told you callme daddy, right, call me
(42:42):
daddy, Call me daddy. Wasa podcast then it was signed by Barstool.
Then it left Barstool, right right, it still existed. Though what
I'm saying, what in this scenarioBarstool goes away, Yes, there's still
they're still do the call me Daddy? Like, what's the conversation that if
you were Barstool, you had wouldcall me daddy. Where It's like,
(43:05):
hey, listen, Barstool's not gonnawork for a while. You're on your
own. What did you say?Did you tell anybody or just bail?
No, she didn't say nothing tome. What do you mean? I
didn't say anything. You were justhere and then all of a sudden,
you're like, hey, you wantto come work here and with me?
And I was like, yeah,what what is it? What? And
You're like, it's a contractor you'renot gonna We're not gonna pay you bejam.
(43:27):
That's how that conversation really went.Hey, we got to move this
stuff for the Lovak and guys intothe studio. What studio? The iHeart
studio? Wait where iHeart Radio is. Yeah, we're just gonna do the
show for you from kind of us. But like the rest of them didn't
like this. I'm saying, didyou call everybody up and go, hey,
look, you're out of here?Well, you don't have to have
those conversations. They knew I wascoming here. They knew, hey,
(43:50):
I'm gonna be moving the content toFox Sports Radio ninety five nine to nine
eighty. Hey, the hope isthat we can move some of this stuff
over here. Hey, you've beendoing some work. Let okay, well
I think you understand it. Sohere's being under this umbrella at iHeart.
You found that there are some obstaclesthat I did not realize. We're gonna
be translate what happened everybody. Imade it again. I'm back on on
(44:15):
the radio. I'm gonna be doingstuff. But uh, you know,
if any of you are even remotelytalented, if you've learned anything in the
last like year or two that we'vebeen working together, I might be able
to get you in. Probably not. You're probably on your own. Enjoy
your remaining years. Piece out,girl, scout, I'm going to work
(44:36):
for iHeart. That's not how thatwent. And then they all called like,
hey, can you get U standYou're like, uh, but they're
like instead of getting through, itwas like the number you have reached has
changed? You change you numbers didn'tchange it. They're on the show next
week, both of them. Well, yeah, because you need them.
Now, that's not true. That'snot that's not what happened. They're creating
(44:57):
content. See I said this,how many shows were on your network seventeen.
It's seventeen. Shit, how manyimportant? I think all stars?
I think all seven, all seventeenwork. That's not true. Where you
just said both, you said bothof them are on. So Ryan McCarthy
and Sean Martin those the only twoyou still talk to. So there's so
bourbon brows you don't care about.I talked to both of them. No,
(45:22):
I talked to him about it theother day. I actually didn't talk
to me anymore. Dan and Iare going to build a studio and just
drive around the country drinking booze.It's great where you and I differ on
this topic, and maybe this isa longer conversation. I know we gotta
get to the third hour here ina second. But Ray, now,
I'm not uncomfortable right now, andyou are. No, But I have
four minutes to talk. I havefour minutes to get this in. And
(45:43):
I say this next week on analready taped edition of No Credentials Required that
will air on July thirtiere on FoxSports onty five, nine and nine eighty.
I've already said this Radio is aplatform. Television is a platform,
YouTube, Spotify, Apple. Asmuch as I to say like, oh,
like we need radio. That's great, we have it. I appreciate
(46:04):
our relationship with Fox Sports tventy fivenine to ninet eighty. The world's a
little bit different. The world isa little bit different in twenty twenty four,
there could be podcasts that are farmore popular than radio shows. You
can make money and doing a podcast, you don't have to call it a
podcast. You just call it ashow. So that's the way. Like
as much as you'd like to saythis was elevated, like you know,
we would have been fine no matterwhat we were doing. Fine, no
(46:25):
matter if we'll bring your own beerparty and you all come to the party
and you start drinking the beer.You're having a good time, and then
I go parties over, you gottaleave. You still can go drink somewhere.
I just can't be here. I'mjust saying, did you say party
was over? Did you just likestop returning their call? Ryan never used
(46:46):
the Gonzilla Media YouTube channel. Seandid. Sean launched his own because Sean
just got signed by a competing gamblingcompany that I can't mention on the air.
He got signed by them, andthat's what the whole thing was for.
Elevate your brand like elevation ten thousand, says Godzillaminia is not dead Gozilla
Media. The LLC still loaned unlesssomeone else to buy it from me for
(47:07):
a nice price. But it's stillout there. Back you gotta think about
twenty twenty five. In twenty twentysix, you got the vision of what
could be in the future, likethe New York Knicks. Oh trust me,
I'm I'm good. I know whatI'm doing, or NFL Sunday Ticket.
I know what I'm doing. Ijust you know, just side whether
or not I trust you to makeyou a part of it. Did you
(47:27):
talk about the Integrave Sleep Center.I don't even remember at this point.
Did you mention the sleep Center andbols and SPA I didn't yet, but
I would love to. I mean, that's when you talk about the future
and play for the future. That'sgetting good sleep. That's the foundation of
the future, my friend. Yourhealth revolves around it everything else. If
you're snoring, you're not sleeping,and nobody else is sleeping either. Usually
snoring is terrible, it's bad forit, and it usually is is a
(47:50):
sign that you have some form ofsleep avenue. I have what's called obstructive
sleep avenue, a very large softpalate, and it causes me to stop
breathing during the night, or asmy friends call it, sleep die.
Uh hey, look back you sleepdial lot And it's like I don't only
talk about it. Well, hadto have that talk, and I have
it with a great person, doctorFredreer at the Inner Grave Sleep Center and
(48:10):
Boss the Spot did some tests,checked it out. Lorin helped me with
the insurance part of it. Andnow I am sleeping like a dream because
of this mouthpiece. So it's nohoses, no wires, no machinery,
no blah blah blah, no surgery. It's an easy to use, easy
to travel with, easy to cleanmouthpiece. Five eight eight five six eight
(48:32):
eight five six one five. Andbefore you walk up to me in public,
go hey, does that work?It does? It does? Doctor
Frederier and the Grave Sleep Center helpme sleep better. They'll help you sleep
better too. Third hour all theway, So back, guys. On
Fox Sports Radio ninety five, ninenine eighty
