(00:00):
It's Lovak and Gaze on the voiceof the Capitol Regions sports fan Fox Sports
ninety five to nine and nine eightymarketing account. It is boys and girls.
The NFL has lost one. Let'ssee if it stays that way.
The jury in the case for theNFL to see if they violated the antitrust
laws for the Sunday ticket case isruled against them. The US District Court

(00:23):
found that the NFL did in factviolate antitrust laws in the Sunday Ticket case.
As a result of the NFL isordered to pay four point seven billion
in damages to the quote residential class, ninety six million dollars in damages to
the quote commercial class, and theNFL not happy. There is going to

(00:44):
be a lot of post trial motionsthat are going to be heard on July
thirty first. So the four pointseven goes to you and me, the
people in the houses who've been payingfor Sunday ticket for years. That ninety
six million goes to the local barwhere you watch the Sunday ticket for what
they had to pay for it.There is a chance that this skyrockets due

(01:07):
to other things, other parts wherethe NFL could go up to fourteen billion
in damages. But it's the NFL. They're not going to quit that easy.
Like Michael Scott in the office,someone explained this to me, Like
I'm five, I think I understandthis though, I think I get this
now. So what the NFL isbeing suit over and is lost and has
to pay back is because the NFLsaid, Okay, we have this product

(01:30):
that is the NFL Sunday Ticket,and we are going to sell this to
a distributor. But whoever gets this, we're going to charge a ton of
stuff for it. We're gonna putthis at a ridiculous cost. So if
you want a game, I don'tknow. Let's say you live in North
Carolina and you want to watch theGiants, Well, the only way you

(01:51):
could do it is by getting theNFL Sunday ticket, and we're going to
jack up the price. And onlyon direct TV is a place where you
can get the NFL Sunday ticket.I believe this tickets now moved to YouTube.
They may have moved a second time. I'm not a suddeny ticket subscriber,
but I know what ever pays themost. There you go, it's
a move. I'm gonna double checkthat. I believe it's on a YouTube
now, but hey, you can'tdo that. For the NFL's was why

(02:12):
not, You're gonna pay for it. CBS and Fox are happy, they'll
figure out something either gonna pay forthem or pay for this. That's why
they got sued because they're like,you can't do that. I understand that
pretty much like that, Yeah,it's pretty well. So the NFL actually
has trust exemptions, anti trust lawexemptions for some of the things it does.

(02:36):
So like the hiring practice where youhave to be three years out of
high school before they hire you,these kind of things. These all kind
of violate the trust laws. Andbecause of their overall dominance in their market,
they have a trust. They havea monopoly so to speak, in
this world. Well, the governmentdeemed decades and decades ago that it was

(02:59):
worth it for the country for theNFL to have these rights because it's good.
It's good for all of us.The Sunday ticket is basically extreme and
gross, like you're charging way toomuch for it, and it violates the
rights of the two point four millionresidential subscribers and forty eight thousand businesses that

(03:21):
are part of this class class actionsuit. The reason this can skyrocket is
the damages can be tripled under federalantitrust laws. So the damages specified are
four point seven billion for the peopleninety six million for the businesses, but
they can triple that if they decideto pay it off in fully, up

(03:45):
to fourteen point thirty nine billion dollars. So I don't know what everybody's at.
Two point four million people like whatthey're part of that. I'm not
gonna sit here and do the math. I don't care enough, but you're
all they're all scheduled to get apiece of that four point seven billion.
I also want to add in thatfront Off of Sports is one of these
people who's added more details to whythe lawsuit. You mentioned the sports bars

(04:06):
Allegedly the first one that sued wasin twenty fifteen, a San Francisco sports
bar called the Mucky Duck, andif you frequented the Mucky Duck, it
claimed that the league late interest waslike Lavack was just talking about, but
the out of market games, Soyou just can't buy the one team package,
like if they're based in San Franciscoand they just want to watch the

(04:28):
Niners. No, we force youto buy pay for everything exactly right.
So it's yeah, it's it's itgets a little murky, a little money,
But again it's it's so weird thatthe government is willing to actually take
a shot at the NFL. Doyou think we're ever gonna hit? And
the reason this is such an impactfulthing because as you listening right now,
you can either listen to games hereon Fox Sports ninety five nine to ninety
watch them. You might have astreaming service, You might have the S

(04:50):
Network. I will fully admit,because the rules of certain leagues, a
lot of games are blacked out viathe stream. So if you want to
listen to the Giants, or ifyou want to listen to Sera football or
basketball, there's times on the iHeartapp you can't because of rules that still
exists in twenty twenty four. Butwhy this is a big deal, So
what could be the future? LikeI mentioned the Yes Network, if you

(05:10):
want to watch the Yankees, youget the Yankees, but you also have
seven months of Brooklyn net basketball anda random high school game from Long Island
and yankeeography. You probably means thatif you're a Yankee fan, but you
have a bunch of other stuff thatcomes with it. I thought this would
happen by now, but now I'mless confident it's ever gonna happen. Then
I'm gonna live in a world whereif I just wanted to be a Phoenix

(05:33):
Sun fan, I can watch thePhoenix Suns, and every single team is
going to have their own I knowsome teams already have it. I brought
the Suns because I believe the Sunswere one of the first to do it.
I believe the Diamondbacks happen. Thereare some regional networks now that the
regional sports network is basically a thingof the past, that hey, if
you want to watch your favorite team, just go on their website, pay

(05:56):
X amount of dollars for this season, you get the games. I don't
think that's I don't think that's evergoing to happen for every team. You
know, why the VAC because you'rea Raider fan and there are Cowboy fans,
and the Raiders and Cowboys are somuch more popular than the Buccaneers and
the Jaguars. Where they want tohave that money, they want to split
it where it's like we want someof the pie man. It's a bad

(06:18):
business decision for us to go outon our own. But I'm glad you
mentioned those two because you know whatthose two franchises have done that no other
NFL franchise has ever done. TheCowboys and the Raiders have both sued the
NFL and won. So that ifyou if you go to a lot of

(06:39):
like the the ancillary NFL product pagesto buy your stuff, Like if you
go to like DXL, so DXLhas the right to sell NFL products,
you know what you won't normally findin a DXL Cowboys or Raiders your local
Walmart. You're this that they cansell because the Cowboys and the Raiders both

(07:01):
soon and went no no, no, no, no no no no no
no, no, no, nono no. We're not a piece of
a thirty two peation. We arethe Raiders. We are the Cowboys.
So the Cowboys keep their pie.The Raiders don't keep all of it,
but they keep a good chunk ofit. So those two actually have moved
themselves outside of the machine that isthe NFL when it comes to those kind

(07:26):
of things, so they don't geta piece. So like when the number
one is selling jersey in the countryis Patrick Mahomes, the Raiders and the
Cowboys. They don't get as biga piece of it as everybody else gets.
But when the number one is sellingjersey across the country is Ezekiel Elliott,
the Cowboys keep almost all of it. And it goes for everything,
not just for apparel, not justfor media, not just for a pairl

(07:46):
but like if you listen to FoxSports ninety five, nine and nine Amy
last year, it goes for mediarights too, more so radio than television
because you might hear more Raider andCowboy games at that four o'clock window because
they've joined their own. They're likethey're together on that. I can say
Compass Media. Yeah, like CompassMedia does a lot of their broadcasting rights
because they can do all those thingsall on their own. I mean,

(08:09):
it's it's so crazy, it's it'sa it's a Remember it's different than everywhere
else because everyone else has to adhereto the trust laws and the anti trust
laws as they are. The NFLdoes have exemptions. They have certain exemptions
they're allowed to get away from.Like when you you know that line from
the Concussion movie, You're going towar with an organization that has that owns

(08:30):
a day of the week. Wellnow it's four. Like now now they
own a bunch of days of theweek, and they're doing stuff in other
countries, and they're this This themlosing this thing on its own kind of
shocks me. They're gonna keep fightingit. We'll see how it goes.
But there's I would say probably somewherebetween that four to seven and that fourteen
plus let's say, let's say theydouble it, maybe nine billion dollars in

(08:54):
damages might get paid out by theNFL. I'm very happy by the way,
your tickets are gonna go up becauseof it. Ah See, that's
exactly who I wanted to get to, because like everyone's all excited that,
like the NFL lost the lawsuit,everyone's gonna get paid. Good for you.
You're gonna The biggest problem, orhopefully the biggest takeaway for future sports
fans, is, will this lawsuit, will this settlement, Will all these

(09:16):
billions of dollars in the future makeit more convenient, less convenient, or
no change in how a sports fancan consume the product, Because the hope
was not too long ago, andit feels like it's ancient history now that
now when you have all these platforms. Now when you have Peacock and Apple
Plus and Amazon and this, andthen like, all I need is one

(09:41):
of these spots and I can getgames, I can watch my team.
And that was the hope that whenmore platforms expanded, it would be easier.
In fact, what happened is peoplegot greedy or smart however you want
to view it, and said,yeah, there's a lot more platforms and
a lot more waste for us tomake money, and a lot more people
to sell our product to. Thisis a live sporten event that is live
advertising. And if you think thisis the most effective means to make money

(10:03):
for another business, we're gonna giveit to you. So I guess I'll
ask that question, Lavac. Becauseof the settlement, do you have any
feel on if it's gonna be moreconvenient, less convenient, or no change
at all on how fans of sportsactually get to watch or listen to games.
I think it's gonna be more convenient, I do, but it's gonna
depend where you live and everything too. Like I bet you so. In

(10:31):
Major League Baseball, I can listento and watch the Yankees on the s
app Now, Major League Baseball asa whole has the streaming rights, so
they don't like, I can't dothat with the braves I have to pay
the fee for the Braves'. I'mthinking the NFL will have to do something.
Maybe it'll be one of those dealswhere if you're in that market,

(10:52):
you can stream that product and wewon't charge you for that, but outside
of that mark, you have topay you the rights to have the rest
of it. I'm not sure howit's gonna work, but I think there'll
be some concession made. But it'snot gonna be like all of a sudden,
you get like you're a buccaneer Shan, I'm a Raiders fan. All
of a sudden, We're not gonnapay seventy dollars for the year and we
get we get full access to ourteam. I think it'll be more than

(11:13):
that. And if cable is eventhe way to consume it, if it
all goes digital, if there's adifferent means, if there's a new platform
there, it's hard to always prickthe technology of it. I hope the
answer is more convenient too. I'mleaning towards more convenient because the NFL is
gonna have to find a way inwhich to do this. If you're struggling
for ways in which to watch yourfavorite team, I feel like you've been

(11:35):
smart enough to figure it out.I hope. I really don't hear as
many complaints. Maybe it's just thegroup of people in the age of people
to hang out with that complain aboutthis as much because there's different ways to
do it. Maybe you either arealready paying for a streaming service and that's
why, maybe you're a red Zonesubscriber, maybe you're in the home market.

(11:56):
I really don't hear this complaint thatmuch that people can can't find it
anymore. It feels like I don'twant to see a boomer take, because
I know some people can consider thata swear word, calling somebody a boomer,
But I feel like if you're oldenough, you got at least a
nephew, right, they gotta sunthey can help you figure this thing out.
I don't. I feel like it'sgonna be more convenient because we all

(12:18):
have more platforms and people will eventuallysay, how do I watch my favorite
team? Fine, and they're moreconcerned about their favorite team than the rest
of the league and the ones thatthey're happy they're happy. Yeah, I
like it. It's I think it'sgoing to we're gonna see some kind of
little gesture on Mia Kopa something.But it's not gonna be. It's not
gonna be the wild West. It'snot gonna all your prayers did not just

(12:39):
get answered. Some of them do. And again, let's be honest,
whoever ends up paying for this,they're just gonna push that forward. Dos
So, whether it's the cable companies, the streaming companies, the NFL itself,
the beer companies, something that's gettingpassed down to us kids, we're
gonna pay for it. Whether wepay for it up front, or we

(13:01):
pay for it on the back endin taxes or something else, we will
pay for it. But I guessit's a weird one, like it feels
like the people want today, ButI just it doesn't. I didn't.
I never paid for the ticket.I went and watched it in bars.
So maybe this means the bar's priceswill go down a little bit. Nope,
not gonna happen. All right,I know what price will act free

(13:22):
inspection thanks to our friends at yousX past Control. Yeah, man,

nine and nine eighty. It's loveacing Guz on the Voice of the Capitol

(14:31):
Regions sports Fan Fox Sports ninety fiveto nine and nine eighty. Some of
those things, I know i'd probablylike normally, i'd apologize for not going
along with, uh the run,you know, the way we prep the
show, but I know you don't. You probably don't read it anyway.

(14:52):
Uh this thing with the link,yeah, all that stuff, Man,
I should open that all right?Did you? We talked earlier about the
Knicks and the draft, like howgood they did. I just have like
the post is open and it likerotates through things while we're talking. So
I just see something. Nix acquiresSpurs summer league coach in twenty twenty four
NBA Draft trade Frenzy quote. I'mready. They got it. They drafted

(15:13):
a coach too. What you know, what does this still happen? I
really don't know, and I reallywant to find out if you're somebody who
is a part of summer league's notnot travel, not travel, but like
we associated with the school, whetherit's colony, whether it's Scotick, Glenville,
Shen. I want to know ifthis still happens, because there was

(15:35):
a time where this was a verynormal thing that baseball, not so much
football, but baseball and basketball.There would be a random person coaching the
summer team, because I remember,like my varsity basketball coach was a guy
named Joe Barnello, and coach wouldhave a summer league like, hey,
go out JV varsity, asking mea mix and matchup players playing basketball once
a week. But I don't knowwhether it was the rules of New York

(15:58):
State at that point or coach wasjust easier wanting to give someone else another
chance. But someone else would coachus in the summer and it was just
like some random guy, some randomguy who played for Salve, Like,
does that still happen? Is thisan accepted practice where some random coach,
Hey, this is my moment,this is my opportunity, got to coach
him up a little bit. Seriously, I really want to know. Let

(16:19):
me know at goz aiheartmedia dot comif that's still a practice where random guy
who lives in the area just coachesup summer league teams. So here's here's
this is this is actually kind offunny when it all comes together. So
we talked about the next year,wheeling and dealing. During the draft,
they got things done. One ofthe things he did is they landed the

(16:40):
the rights they okay, so theygot the draft rights. Remember when you
make a trade in the NBA Draft, you get the draft rights. You
don't actually get the player. It'sit's the weird. It's like a draft
where they ask permission to draft you. It's it's very different, Like,
it's very different. So they getthe Internet National Center Ariel HUCKPORTI that was

(17:03):
as part of the deal they got. I thought he had a middle name.
So in that deal, the Knicksalso gained the rights to Patteri Capon.
The problem is that Kathetic pathetic isnot really available because, as he

(17:30):
put out on X quote, Iam honored by the Knicks, but I'm
still going to honor my commitment withthe Spurs. Of course, financially,
a ridiculous offer could change my mind. He is no longer playing. He's
agreed to become the summer league coachfor the Spurs. So his rights were
just tied into this somehow, someway. Still, but he's not he's

(17:53):
not a basketball player where he's acoach. Now you're like, it's you
joke all the time that these NBAtrade It's like a bunch of fifth grader's
got traded. Yeah, well sodid a dude who's not playing anymore.
Like it's it's badness out here inthe NBA. Coaches getting traded, players
saying whether or not they're gonna go. You know what I love about the
draft that we don't talk about enoughpeople Just I cover this. I told

(18:15):
you in twenty sixteen, random foreignplayers or American born players just buying their
own ticket. Yeah, and sittingin the stands. So amazing the map.
So there was the trade with theMAVs. So twenty twenty four NBA
Draft Trade Alert. The MAVs getthe draft rights to the fifty first overall
pick Melvin Akinta. The Knicks getdraft rights to fifty eighth overall pick area

(18:41):
of fourty, draft rights to thirtiethoverall pick from the two thousand and seven
draft. Patantic component and cash considerationslike when you did that deal, who
was the one having fun with it? Like? Who was was it?
The MAVs Like, uh, yeah, we'll we'll get but you gotta take
Component two. Okay? Fine?And nobody looked or was it the next

(19:04):
going just strow something else and wedon't care. Well, we still have
the rights to Duke for ros seven. He's coaching with the Spurs. Now
that'd be funny. Give us that, like what like, how does that
come to pass? I want thismore forever. Now, you said they
had his rights since two thousand andseven. Apparently I need more trades.
Okay. Yes. In two thousandand four, the Mavericks traded their two

(19:26):
thousand and seven first round pick tothe Warriors and the deal that included former
Duke star Christian Latner. One yearlater, the Warriors sent that pick to
the Nuggets, who traded it tothe seventy six ers and the two thousand
and six deal that landed them AlanIverson ultimately or The seventy six ers then
drafted Component with the final pick ofthe first round of two thousand and seven,

(19:49):
but he instead rerouted to Portland fora second round draft pick. This
thing is just keeps moving. Isthis amazing? There's a story out there,
and I don't think it's Christian later, but it might be. It
might be Jason Capono. There's anold story out there about the Dallas Mavericks

(20:11):
that Mark Cuban did this something likethis, maybe been Keith van Horn where
he did retire, but they hadthe rights so they couldn't move money,
so they had him come back andplay for one day so that they can
then trade him. I want thisto never stop. I want athletes who

(20:32):
get drafted and then have the rightsto last for thirty years, forty years.
I know the internet had a lotof fun the last few years where
people can plain that Roder Goodell neversuspended OJ Simpson for his off the field
conduct. Give me those suspensions.Let's have this be a fifty year dynasty.
L of ac same people just forgettingto turn on their system. I

(20:52):
wonder if it's one of those dealswhere he like just never submitted his retirement
paper. He was like, well, I didn't ever actually you know,
did anything. I don't even Idon't even retire from the league. And
then somebody looked around and went,who's it. Why is he still in
our books? He never retired,Oh all right, trade him. That's
great. The NBA draft is Imean, listen, if you didn't think

(21:15):
it was a joke before. Dudeswho got drafted in seven are being traded
today and not like like not likesome kind of superstar or whatever. Some
dude who long ago decided I'm goingto be a coach. Did you see
that? We now think we knowwhere Aaron Rodgers has been all this time.

(21:37):
No, so his unexcused absence fromjets a mandatory mini camp. We're
now hearing that Rogers was in factin Egypt when he saw the Pyramids,
the Great Pyramids. We know he'sback though, because uh mbs Marquez Allus
Scantley, who is now member ofthe Bill whoa I got two issues with

(22:02):
him? All right? Hold on? He he put out that me and
Aaron have been great friends since Ihad been in Green Bay. I hit
him up, toldmost come out toLa let's run some routes. So they
worked together. So they went toa local high school and ran routeskin,
So he is in the country.He's back. Rogers is back from Egypt.
What what's your problem with? MarcusValesca. First of all, irrationally,

(22:23):
everyone does this. He cost mea fantasy football game last season,
that stupid drop he had for theChiefs. Then allegedly I said his name
wrong to his face. How didyou just say his name? Marquez Valdez,
Kantley Marquez, what did I Igotta go back and find the I'm
gonna have it here. Actually,Mark Quez, I think there's a que
in there, Mark Quez Valdez scandaling. So he told me I said his

(22:47):
name wrong when I interviewed him.I remember that. I remember you.
Didn't you shave your head out ofprotest? Yeah? And then he cost
me a fantasy. So you knowwhat he's not. He's banned from the
show. He's I don't know ifI can believe what he said about Rogers.
So where wait? Wait wait,so Rodgers. When he was gone,
he had he was a trip toEgypt. This feels like it's worse
then, because it's a family vacation. I'm gonna I'm gonna make sure I
get it right this time, becauseI've been mocked across the internet. Iohuasca.

(23:12):
There's no age therapy in hyahuasca.Aahuasca, a y u s apostrophe
ayahuasca. He had been smoking.So he was in Egypt, not for
some family retreat, not for somefamily function, not for his family.

(23:32):
That's too hard. There the fact, no family, the fact, and
Rogers hates his family. Let's spendtime with him. He doesn't. He's
Kyle Philipowski. Listen, my parentsdon't spend time with me. That's not
this. Don't you feel like theEgypt thing is worse because it right,
it's not. Egypt's not going anywhere. Could have done it in a month,

(23:55):
and other stuff's happening. I don'tknow how like these Buddhist people do
it or like that, you knowthe who he's doing the ayahuasca a ahuasca
with. I don't know if there'slike a seasonal time you have to smoke
it. But I'm pretty sure thepyramids aren't going anywhere. I'm willing to
place that. Bet. I'm alittle bit more upset now that he left
the way you said it caught meweird, but you're I mean, like,

(24:18):
I'm going on a cruise in January, right, I'm paying the little
bit extra in case something happens andI have to reschedule it. I don't
have Aaron Rodgers money, so likeAaron Rodder like ah, I scheduled this
trip all along. I'm gonna go. You can't you can't drop another five
hundred or whatever and get travel insuranceand you know, be here for camp.

(24:41):
I'm kind of you know what,You're right, it's not like this
spiritual thing. It's not. It'syou know, Egypt. It's been there
for a long time, while longtime not going anywhere. As I feel
confident in that take, This justdidn't Egypt missing? Where in the world?
World is Carmen san Diego. Thatisn't the concept of the movie Despicable

(25:03):
to Me? I don't remember thinkit is the whole concept. It takes
the moon, doesn't he They startoff in Egypt, and that's how the
the opening scene of Despicable to Meis the character steals the Pyramids. Oh,
and there's a rivalry between Grew andJason Siegel's character whore's underwear in his
head. You just got I mean, it's a classic. I'm going to
I'm going to Despicable be out justwill be four out next. I'm going

(25:25):
to Egypt. He plays well.None of this matters, right as he
plays well, nobody's gonna care ifhe plays like Doo doo. We all
come back to this. The easyanswer should be yes. That that should
be the right answer. That's theanswer I should be saying. But I
find it interesting with Aaron Rodgers thathe will probably say the reason he's playing
well is because of this. Mostathletes say the reason they played well is

(25:48):
because of camp and practice it.But he will point. If you're a
fan, you don't get like ifBaker Mayfield actually somehow plays well and he
says it's because he sleeps with achucky dollars bad, you don't care what
the reason is. When it comesto health, I think some people are
influenced by it, like you andI had gone to when we cover the

(26:08):
Patriots at Jillette Stadium, Foxborough.That was the height of TB twelve,
So people were like, how isTom Brady staying in incredible shape? How
is he beating father time? It'scalled steroids. I mean we all know,
Yeah, his store out there isavocado ice cream or whatever the world
he was doing at that point,and his weird stretching and his trainer.

(26:30):
That stuff does have an influence,I think athletically or physically. Do I
think that if Aaron Rodgers goes eighteento zero and people wondered, how did
Rogers play so well? Well,it's thanks to our friends in Egypt.
Book your trip today. He canhave an influence on that, and I
think he'll be the one who tellsyou this is the reason I am so
great because I I'm not following conventionalwisdom. Guys all hate on Joe Rogan.

(26:53):
I'm a different thinker. That's UltimateRogers. So ninety nine point nine
percent of the athletes your question,I say yes to Aaron Rodgers. The
answer is probably not Egypt. It'sgood for everything. I mean maybe,
I don't know, maybe Ra theSun God just blessed him. Who knows?
Oh my god, we we suck, you right, Why go to

(27:18):
Egypt? I just saw something wehaven't. I'll say, here's what we're
gonna do. We got the Dumpcoming up. I'm gonna double down on
how bad we suck by covering thisstory in the Dump for the first time
on today's show all day. Butfirst, let me tell you about my
good friends at Mohawks Chevrolet. LoveMohawks Chevy. You know the mahaw family

(27:38):
always talk about them going out oftheir way to please you. It's never
more true to me than it iswhen I walk into Mohawks Chevrolet greeted with
a smile. They've got the coffeeready to go. They've got a beautiful
facility. People everywhere to help youout. They don't bother you, you
know what I mean. If youjust want to kind of walk around the
lock and look at the things,they're gonna come up be like, hey,
you good anything now. I'm justlooking okay, cool, you know.

(28:00):
Come see me. My name isKatie. Come see me if you
need me. Travis, one ofthe GM's amazing. Everybody there. We're
talking to Chris over in parts.I'm ordering the new don't have I said
when I'm ordering a cool accessory forScarjo, my Silverado, all these cool
things. It's just it's a greatplace. Like a lot of car dealerships.

(28:21):
When I go into them, Ican't wait to get out of them,
Like it's like, oh, we'reget in service, how quick can
you get this done? No?Over there, I'm like, I'm gonna
go sitting on a roundeck chair.I'm gonna go chill out. I just
the people are cool, the productis amazing, and one of the product
is Silverado's Tahoes. Malibus tracks allof it. It's I just I love
everything about Molaks Chevrolet to heat.Let's drive at Malwak Chevy where they always

(28:44):
go out of their way to pleaseyou. Did you know one of the
major four sports in the United States? Who America has a draft? Tonight?
Weekly? Did next? Right here? Lavack God's Fox Sports Radio ninety
five nine to nine eighty. It'sLevack and God on ninety five nine Fox
Sports Radio. We end every showwith a dump everything that we just didn't
have time to get to during thisshow. A little smaller dump today.

(29:07):
Levec pushed on time in and out, not a fiver. We haven't talked
at all about the NHL Draft.It's at the Spear in Las Vegas.
I'm more intrigued by the Spear thanthe draft. I covered the draft in
twenty sixteen. I was at BuffaloNLFT. I did I saw Austin Matthews
get drafted that year. I've toldthat story before Matthews. They got confused.

(29:32):
They thought I worked for Alberta,not Albany. So I had awesome
seats for the second day Calgary Flamescame over. That was odd. But
uh, the Spear is overrated,underrated. I want to find out.
I do want to know a SpearI can't afford it. But I know
nothing about the NHL draft. Idon't even know, Like obviously the Razors
are picking late. So sorry,hockey fans, we blew it. We

(29:53):
didn't cover it. Then put itin your diary whatever. I don't care.
I just I told you I coveredit eight years ago, so that
covers it for the next ten years. You cover one draft ten years,
all right. Two years from nowyou have to go to another one.
Sharks have the number one pick.They're gonna take somebody good. All right.
I know you're steaming over something.What's your problem? So the best
show on television now should win allthe awards. The best show now that

(30:15):
secession is off is The Bear.The Bear on Have you ever seen The
Mary of Kingston. It's sounds good. What I've already made my proclamation without
seeing it's not as good. Youhaven't seen it. The Bear is the
best show on TV. It winsall the awards. I know. No,
no, it's not Happy Pride Monthor last year. That's right still
here. The Bear is with JeremyAllen White. He's in the show.

(30:38):
I don't remember the other actors' namesoff the top of my head. That's
how good it is. They're allvery good. So season three has dropped,
but not just season three of Levac. They are going with the new
school approach of all the episodes atonce, So at least three episodes are
out, and I know that becausemy wife and her sister in law decided
to watch the other two without me. I watched episode one to see three

(31:00):
last night and quick spoiler three twoone. It was terrible what happened?
Like, why can't shows just continueto be good? Because the first episode
I saw was a recap of thelast two seasons. Haven't we gone through
that as a society enough that wedon't have to do recap episodes anymore?

(31:21):
Aren't we all binge watching television showsnow? I've been told, oh,
it sets everything up, Snakes,The Bears the best show on TV.
I'm a very busy man, I'mvery important, as everyone knows. I
don't have time for catch up episodesThe Bears the best show on television.
I'm committed to one show now withtwo kids soon to be three, you
better step it up, Bear,I mean lose you lose your It's still

(31:42):
just the other week, right,No, I needed a few minutes to
complain about the first episode. There'sa chance my entire opinion changes whenever in
the next month or this summer.I watched the second one, I was
you know, I watch a lotof sci fi shows and stuff like that.
It's musical episode on They're Out.Yeah, that's the jump to shark
moment for me. The recap episodesusually take me off. I waited this

(32:05):
long and all you're gonna do isrecap? I can. I can pull
up a Man of Recaps on YouTube, which is very funny. Netflix lets
you do it, like, let'syou Hey, here's the preview of season
two. They actually put that asa feature now on some of this Have
you ever done go to YouTube Manof Recaps. It's this dude. He
wears different colored tuxedo t shirts andhe'll run you through an entire series in
like three minutes and his voice isso like perfectly right there the whole time.

(32:30):
Oh no, like he's he's Manof Recap is one of my favorite
YouTube channels. Man of Recaps.Yeah, I feel like he's got to
be phenomenal. On TikTok, Ifeel like that's what the formats. But
I know you mentioned YouTube but likethis is gen Z to the core.
Man. You know, I'll gothere. Like before the new season of
Mayor of Kingstock came out, Iran there watched where how are we?

(32:51):
Where are we? Like the WalkingDad, I'll do it's like and they
get it on like he says itlike that what a niche? Yeah business
oh man? All right, Manof recaps, to check that. That's
gonna say. But I'll be intouch with pop culture again. See it
all everybody's into these days, andI'll just be cheating spark notes man of
recaps, all right, all right, Well, good luck with The Bear.
I almost started watching it the otherday, and I just didn't.

(33:14):
You worked in a kitchen. Youtold me it's not realistic enough for you
haven't tried it. How about wedo this. We'll make a pledge to
each other. I will watch oneepisode of the Mayor of Kingstown and then
you have to watch one episode ofThe Bear. You first, I did
you hear how busy? I was? Yeah? Because I know you I'm
gonna go watch it and you're notgonna watch it. Did you watch it?
Well? Not per se per se, I didn't watch it. Guys.

(33:38):
When's the last time you cleaned thehouse. Uh, see this,
this is a little easier. Wecleaned the house yesterday. We team effort.
Everybody does it, me, wife, kids, it's a whole thing.
You just chop up the chores.Everybody's learning cleaning right now. That
one's a little different cause I'm headingout of town, so the house is
extra clean. You never so like? Hold on, let me ask you

(33:59):
a question. You and the mistis cleaning? You ever get frisky?
Read after ooh little frisky. Accordingto a survey of two thousand United States
results, half of whom are inrelationships, sixty nine percent of Americans say
the act of seeing their partner cleanis a total turn on what hang on

(34:22):
thevict That's as two different things there, seeing the act of your partner getting
clean to no cleaning the house.Oh, because how I thought you read
it? Now, I'm not talkingabout creeping in on a shower on your
wife. That's how it sounded,liqu when you read the partner clean?
Is it told? So listen,you've you've taken my dirty concepts and made

(34:43):
it even dirtier them clean your mind, guys, little things count when it
comes to romance. People would ratherreceive the gift of a clean house.
Seventeen percent would rather come home tothe house being clean than the eleven percent
who said they would rather have apricey present. So you're so, so

(35:04):
here's what you do. You saidyou haven't bought your wife a gift,
and like says, she's been yourwife. You go home and clean the
house top to bottom for her.No, no, no, no,
because here's the problem with my wonderfulbride, who I love so much,
and I'll be spending so much timewith coming up here, I think job
cleaning. I'm not a messy person. I'm really not. I I'm not

(35:27):
hey on. You and I havespent road trips together. I would not
say I'm messy. I keep allof my stuff in one pile. It's
notis it does that's at some pointit winked at me. That's science just
gross or shirts go on the pileI keep. I'm not messy, I'm
not dirty. I'm very much inbetween. I would say I'm more clean
than dirty. The problem is mylevel of clean is not her level of

(35:50):
right. No, no, Ican clean the house, but it's not
to her level of clean. Sothere's no point of doing it. That's
all I'm talking about. She came, she walked in, and you're cleaning
the kitchen. I don't rick aone telling me that's what it says here.
Uh sixty seven percent. Two thirdsof the people responded and said if
fresh smelling house would make them morelikely that with their partner. How about

(36:15):
eighty two percent of those surveyed makean extra effort to clean before bringing a
date home. That's true, that'sone hundred percent true. I mean,
you've got to hide all the picturesof the wife. And cleaning habits can
affect long term relationships. Thirty fourpercent of those in relationships with someone who
has similar cleaning habits have been togetherat least five years. So yes,

(36:40):
So basically your similar cleaning has youdo what you're told? That is I
would say that's the number one thingfor colleges, right, colleges has only
three questions, are you cleaner dirty? What type of music do you listen
to? And do you wake upgo to sleep? I mean, I
would say that's the number one thingin couples relationships people you live with.
Uh sixty eight percent of people saythat smelling a house like a bad house

(37:02):
is an instant deal breaker in arelationships, like they come home with you
for the first time and just smellslike farts and nastiness. They're out.
Sixty eight percent of people sixty oh, dump a relationship on the stank.
Yeah, so now I know,make the house sticky that way, they
don't come back. That's that's whatold people's houses usually smell the worst.

(37:22):
Forty three percent said on a date, if they the house didn't smell it,
they would leave, leave the dateand the relationship, like a first
date. Yeah, you get homeon a first date're like, hey,
come on, you want to comein for a drink? Yeah? They
walk in like what must see inhere? Gotta go? Peace out?

(37:43):
A third this makes sense. Sixtyfive percent say they're less likely to move
in with a partner with poor cleaninghabits, So that makes sense, Like,
hey, you want to keep yourcrappy apartment with your crap over there
just you you sleep over occasionally,but that's about it. That's that's the
deal. That's eventually got to bechanged. Though. If you're gonna take
it to the next level, howlong do you that relationship last? Yeah?
Right, how about this one?Those who clean for at least thirty

(38:06):
minutes a day, are likely totwice as often as those who only cleaned
once a month or last. Soif you go home clean the bathroom a
couple of different things once in awhile, every every day you go mess
that room up, just as themore likely. You know what I'm saying.
I feel like it's a reward factor. Your poor husband's like been tricked

(38:29):
into this. You clean the bathroom, we go upstairs, what bathroom?
And how many these numbers are notadding up? No? I listened to
a lot of that makes sense,like you know you you know nice clean
sheets? Hey, yeah, thereyou does you know what I'm saying that
I do it? They I justI saw that one. I thought it

(38:52):
was interesting, and so I gottaget something. I gotta get a made
apparently so I can cheat the system. Yeah, I'll just get a maide.
And then I was walking start wipingon stuff. Whenever I have a
data. Yeah, I keep it, this with it, That's what I
do. I thought my kid wouldbe the maid when she moved back in,
but nope, she don't clean nothing. Sheould kill me. She hears
that, all right, So there'sthat. And then actually one more thing

(39:12):
I just saw. Do you knowwhat sneaky link is? No, sneaky
link is the new dating term fora mutual agreement to be together but not
make it public. It's called asneaky link. It's not like a friends
with benefit because friends with benefit peopleusually hear about it earlier. This would
be like, you know, callpeople from the office, maybe just decide

(39:32):
and enjoy each other's company a littlebit more, but make sure nobody hears
about it. Sneaky link yep.I would name it something else easy cheat,
easy cheat. It's not necessarily cheating. I watched the girl in college
who did this. She said,I'm in a relationship, but we don't
really put it on social media becausewe just don't want to do that.
And then I see her hooking upwith other guys. Oh, no,

(39:55):
you're not in a relationship now,I no, No, she's in the
relationship. Nobody knows about it.Oh no, one knows she's in a
relationship. That's not that's not sneaky. Like is like legitimately, like we
both know what it is. Wejust don't want anybody else to know what
it is, and we do ourthing. Older listeners are like that's called
the relationship where you have to posteverything on social media, everything in public.

(40:16):
Everyone has to know you're not noteven on social like at all,
Like nobody knows. Just secret relationshiplike me and your sister. Oh,
the show's over. We have thirtyseconds left. We have a wild week
