Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now back to Levac and Guz on ninety five, nine
and nine eighty am Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh Man, so I've you know this, I've I've I've waffled.
I'm pro wrestling like when I was younger, loved it,
stopped watching it all together, didn't care for it at all.
After the Attjude era that was like, the Adjude era
was great, the nWo and WCW all that stuff that
(00:34):
was great.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
That took kind of a lull for me.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I didn't the John Cena era, like after the Ruthless
Aggression and where he just was like everyone's favorite, but
then they hated him.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I didn't understand why they hated him.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
I guess the PG era of ooh, this is not
for adulsie for children, which some non wrestling fans would say,
they're always for children. You two Neanderthals who are breathing
from Europe. No, No, that's not always you.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
No, because you know who doesn't have money kids? Right?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, they can get mom and dad to spend the money,
but then they can also get you know, sen, you
and I will buy a random T shirt once in
a while and to see what's up.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
But you've dragged me back in a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
This was a the Summer Slam pay per view is
probably one of the best pay reviews I've seen in
a very long time. Uh, but I love how it started.
In the pre show. We got to see one of
your one of your heroes, one of the guys you
like the most, mister Testator.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
He is truly someone I've looked up to in my
broadcast career. I've told this story before I met him
and stayed after fights at a casino a little west
of us just to pick his brain about broadcasting. He
loves fight sports, He's from upstate New York. He loves
college football. So Joe Testitur. By the way, before we
get to this cut, media members across the Capital region,
(01:43):
if I had Joe Testatur's number, I'd give it to you.
I'm not lying to you. I do not have his number.
I'm working on getting it, but stop asking me. Here's
Joe Testator, the Pride of Schenectady, him and Damon Bruce
CBA Zone CBS six is out and here's the cut.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Oh A blessed and honored UH to be a part
of this. But this is this is absolutely not the
Washington Avenue Armory in all but in New York when
I was a little kid seeing Chief Ja Strongbow and
skipping school to go to Picks one oh six parties
with Big John Studd. This is special And as you know,
I've been coming to pls for years and years now
I am psyched for tonight.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yeah, we talked a lot about watching wrestling on w RGC.
Would you actually work? That means we're old but old.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
I feel like Cole just wasn't really into it.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
Michael Cole the broadcast.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, I didn't think he was really into this whole thing.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
But it was like, yeah, here's uh, here's the guy
who's taking me off Monday nights, jerk.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
I don't think you liked him at all. I think
Cole's got some like serious jealousy issues that he couldn't
hide there, Like he loves Pat McAfee. And it wasn't
like doing a bit. They were trying to be like
stand up heal broadcasters. Feels like Cole because the part
of I didn't play about the cut where Joe Tester
a minute like a funny joke. He's like, you got
to walk into a venue with Michael Cole. This is
a living legend it's a hot to be just ignored
(02:58):
it like there would be like, oh thanks, Joe. Shape
to happen just went powered right through. Either he wasn't
listening or like you said, absolutely not a fan of
Show Tested tour because he's jealous. Whatever it might be, but.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Or it could it.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It could also be like he's getting ready for the
show and somebody goes, hey, we need you to go
do that introduction spole with testatories.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Really, I gotta stop doing what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I got got show notes of putting together you know
how many fish nets stockings Ria Ripley owns. I'm trying
to somebody else please do my job. Yeah, something out
there with McAfee or whoever is this big e run around?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Doesn't he do? Do it? Somebody? I'm busy, guys, do.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
You think it could work?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Right now?
Speaker 4 (03:35):
It starts the first week of September. First week of September,
Joe test Or joins a WW broadcasting. I believe it's
Monday Night Raw he's gonna be a part of because
that's what Cole Soa he's moving to smack back. Yeah,
of course I think it Tests Hour has got It's
it's the only thing I will say is I think
newer people will like him more because he is a
little He's like a little overly polished, like he almost
(03:57):
he sounds like an announcer or Michael Cole's gon a
good voice, but Michael Cole sounds like a wrestling guy
who happens to be able to announce like Joey Styles.
You know this very well because you've done this for
a majority of your adult life. This thing radio television
is the same way TV shows are the same way
with late night shows. There is a smaller amount of
(04:19):
the audience. He's to be far bigger. It is smaller
now that it doesn't matter who fills in for that person.
The fact that it's not a familiar voice, people will
hate it, like the fact that it's not Michael colepeel like,
who's this guy doing it?
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (04:33):
This is a call, let's all of vacuu. God is
shoddy Carson, This isn't Jay leto like. People can't handle it.
There are certain radio shows comfort yes, like there are
certain radio shows now in this world in twenty twenty
four that will never have feelings because it doesn't matter
who the feeling is. They just want to hear. They
would rather and this we've found this out people. If
(04:53):
you listen to a certain radio host, television show broadcast,
you'd rather hear them on replay than someone you're not
familiar with. That be test stories problem not the quality
of work, not what he does, but because people are
so used to hearing something so often that it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
My brain's telling me this isn't right, this isn't do
we know who's sitting next to him.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I think it's Wade Barrett and Corey Graves is on
the other one. I know there's been talks that could
go either way, and there's been different reports out there.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I don't know. I like Wade.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I wish Wade Bert would get back in the ring,
though I liked him as a heel, the British heel.
That's always fun. Yeah. So yeah, here's here's the problem
I had with SummerSlam. The one major issue I had
with it, besides bron Breaker's fake tan drives me insane.
They kept talking about making it a two night in
the future. I think it was perfect because it was
(05:40):
one night.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
It was.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
It was a really well done show, I mean, and
and some of the big shocking surprises were very easy
to figure out. But I thought it was a good show.
As quick it went by fast it was. It was
well done. I think Jacob Fatu hurt himself bad. I
really do.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
There's one injuries I believe, But like I thought, it
was well done.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Let's talk more about this expansion because I believe they're
going to do it. WrestleMania's two nights now, there's been
talks that Summerslime will be the next with them moves
to two nights. Because this is where the we'll call
it sports entertainment versus sports world connection is the sports
landscape did this to WWE, and more sports will do
this in the future. Last week we talked about how
(06:25):
the World Series can be flexible now that they'll start
it sooner. If television stations wanted to start sooner, they
have a little flexibility in the contract. Look at what
the NCAA tournament did. It hasn't always been sixty eight teams.
At one point it was sixty four and sixty five,
and it was smaller than that, and they kept making
it bigger because they're like, fans will consume this product
and we can make more money. Let's make it bigger
(06:46):
the NFL. What if we had Super wild Card weekend
and we added two more games. They got rid of
the buys, so they saw more playoffs, more people, more money.
NBA play like, we get all the examples right of
like expansion of the product creates more cash and if
people are willing to watch it, we're gonna make more money.
They're gonna do it if they think they can fill,
(07:07):
which they didn't, but again, it's still a stadium. They
probably had up a good fifty thousand people there. The
stadium wasn't completely filled. They did some camera magic, but
the internet caught it. If you could get a stadium
filled back to back night with fifty thousand people or
one night with fifty thousand. My Hobart education has taught me, well,
i'll take two. I'll take if you could do it,
do it like yeah, but they didn't.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
They said they didn't sell it out. That's the one
thing I will say, Like it's close whatever, but there's
just something about overdoing it, Like WrestleMania is special because
it's two nights.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Now. That's thanks to COVID. Thanks for everything, COVID, hate you,
but I just I don't know. I just I thought
it was really that was a good show. That was
well done.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
They got a lot done. You know, the Rio Ripley
match versus Lim Morgan. Hopefully your boys weren't awake for
that one or else they're they're probably shaving today, driving
to work on their own.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
They were not only awake, they were screaming more at
that match than another match. Not fans of Dominic.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Mysteria, how can you not be someone out there like
what a move?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Dominic Mysteria was a heel, a bad guy and he
went from a bad guy to being more of a
bad guy. That's a rare move.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Yeah, I mean it was.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
It's I mean, but he's also in a week he
was licked by Rhea Ripley and he got to make
out would live Morgan. So what a life man he's living.
He's living the dream. I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
We gotta get him back on You and him had
so much fun together.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
Let's do this. At some point I will reach out
to our I'll figure something out. I will figure out
some WB people. I want to go back to something
you said though about the stadium is not being filmed
in things like that, and why this connection is the
sports you have a background in a profession that deals
with stadium arena rentals and how a venues are set
up and dates and everything else. It feels like I
(08:53):
haven't seen it happen yet. But if you go back, Okay,
let's say Major League Baseball says, you know what threw
these gen zers, We're going back to the Pennant race.
We're going two divisions. Screw it, We're going for the
seventy year old audience. Or the NFL says, you know what, nah,
Super wild Card weekend. We don't like it that much.
We're shrinking it down. There's a sense of embarrassment to that,
(09:14):
like we over played our hand. We thought more of
the product would be embraced behind the audience. That's not
the case. We're taking it back. I'm sure there's one
off the top of people's heads that thinks they're like,
oh gosh, remember it used to be this, Now they
have less of it. Not anything that jumps out to me.
Do you feel that same way, Like, would it be
a sense of embarrassment if WW went two nights and
(09:35):
then one night, or the NCAA tournament went back to
sixty four, or we went back to sixtems for a
conference that once the genie is out of the bottle,
they can't get it back in.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Well, I'd leave restlating the way it is because it's working,
So I'd leave that two nights no, because you can
always use the whole. Like we've decided to just cram
as much action into one night, and you know we
we don't want to take advantage of our fans and
charge them for two. And there's always a spin like
this is a spin, you can do anything, but I
just like it. I know that they want to make
(10:07):
SummerSlam the other WrestleMania, so you have two WrestleManias a
year and then all the pls paid something.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
That it's right premium line for events.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh all right, cool, But I just I don't know,
Like I said that was if that, if I felt
like something was missing from that, I'd be like, dude,
were we need a second night? But realistically the only
thing that you didn't have was a tag team match, right,
I mean everything else, that's it? What six belts were
four or something like that.
Speaker 4 (10:34):
I mean, do you ever watch the show Pennon Teller
fooled us?
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I haven't, but I'm familiar with ton of telling That
show is awesome.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
I loved it when I was on the air with
Alice at Handinghan. But there is something they do at
the end of the act where they'd code what they
said and magicians could figure out what they said. YouTube
comments would quickly run to see what the code was.
I don't think I spoke my code that I tried
to code that when I just said wasn't good enough.
So let you rephrase that. You lived in the Arena
Football League where you gave a ton of the product,
like you're league gave sixteen teams and they went to eight.
(11:02):
Now thinking back, like okay, we thought it would be this,
it wasn't this. There was a sense of embarrassment born
in a better place. And I think that's speaking freely
about that, like if you look exactly right. And that's
why I'm asking it where it's like, hey, we got
it right, Like what you're saying, like WRESTLEBANDI is right
at two nights summertime is right. It one night, the
turnout was good with sixty four. People don't love the
(11:23):
first four Super wild Card weegain it seems to be
working well, like it really is. The reaction to the fans.
If the fans are telling you something on social or
in the stance or with their pockets, it's not embarrassment.
It's just good business.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I think at that point we always we always say
when it comes to the contracts, like you know, Tyree
Hill's big deal, you're worth with someone will pay you.
That's also consumerism. Like you, if you'll pay me for
two nights, I'm worth two nights if look at all, right,
look at last Firebirds season, right, So many games got
moved at different times because of TV networks that were
(11:55):
going to be involved and didn't or did and whatever.
The public has spoken over the last however many years,
if you play an arena football game seven o'clock Saturday night,
they will come. If you play an arena football game
eight thirty Thursday night, some of them will make it,
(12:15):
but not as many. Like you know, WrestleMania, because of COVID,
they saw, oh, we got two nights worth of stuff here,
this is perfect summer Slam. I'm sure they're like, well,
if we had two nights with wrestling, we could figure
it out for two nights.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
With Summer Slim.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I'm just saying I watched that that might have been
my favorite Premium Live event because.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I can't tell you last one.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I watched all the way through, like I'll put it on,
I'll go do something else, I'll watch.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Something else, I'll do it.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
Whatever that went on and stayed on and I watched
it because it was fast paced, it was good.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Every match had a conclusion. Every match was good.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
I think Bailey got robbed whatever, big butt Bailey.
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Give me a story and give me entertaining and exciting action.
There's the big umbrella put in everything under because it's
all true from arena football story inline of what the
team I'm looking for, the favorite, the underdog, trying to
win a championship, an entertaining action. You get great athletes
and read football fro SummerSlam last night. If you're not
a wrestling fan, there are moves that I saw at
SummerSlam on Saturday night that I've never seen a wrestling ring.
(13:22):
Logan Paul had a move I've never seen before, and
I've watched wrestling forever. There are stories that were told.
It was like a great movie, but they'd also do
a pretty good job of telling you what the story
is going in and then you have some type of
rooting interest, whether you're an adult, a new fan, a kid.
They told a really good story. There was tons of action,
it was super entertaining. That should be the end all,
(13:42):
be all goal of whether it's one night, two night
hell Like music's the king of this, right, isn't that
Billy Joel had thirteen straight sellouts somewhere the Garden. I
Alwa's got a banner up at MVP Arena, Like, there
are certain artists who can do this. They like, if
you keep selling out arenas and people love the story
in the.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Entertainment and best Dave Matthew's Man inspect they always do
multiple But yeah, I don't know, but I'm not going
to both. We're like, they're expecting you to watch both,
like you watch both nights of WrestleMania, or at least
you keep up.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
With it, even I didn't. I can't watch two nights
two nices too much. That that's what I like.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I have to turn in my adult card like I
did an adult the last couple of days. Sorry, I
watched two full nights of wrestling.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
What yeah? Yeah, am I still allowed to vote? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:27):
No, no, we encourage even more now, So there you
I just looked up and saw some more Biles. You
ready to admit it, You're ready to meet your wrong
choked it away today?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Oh my god, what's wrong with you? What is wrong
with now?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Thinking back, I don't even know she hearing that Sue
Gott's cut from earlier on the internet, I'm gone stems
easy not thinking about it. She did not really land
that landing I think about it.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Oh my god, maybe she didn't deserve the gold.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Now seeing it again, you have problems you got you
have problems.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Validated. The Internet's not validating me today. I thought you
needed five golds fifth I saw a fifth on there.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
She is. Ireland's got like seven goal some medals this
year and it's like the like the most they've had
in like thirty years or some nonsense like that.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Whatever. Someone Biles is three gold this year this year
and a silver.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
This might be too ego based here, but I will
admit this. I love the United States of America. Auto
Bolden Otto Bolden joined to the show and said he
wanted to run for Trinidad and Tobago because it was
a bigger deal to represent that country than the US.
If there was a small country that could be associated
with I'd rather represent the small country. What because it's
(15:47):
easier to get on the team, right, you might get
more accolades, like you just mentioned Ireland. Like, if you're
an Irish athlete, winning those medals seems far more significant
for the country than other athletes here, Like the US
is gonna win a ton, China's gonna win a ton.
If you're a gold medallist going back to a smaller country,
that seems like a far But you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Cut through all the just to be in a US
Olympian Yeah, you gotta cut through it all. It's tough, right,
Ha's the point, man, You are soft.
Speaker 4 (16:14):
I'm not. That's a strategy, Levac.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
It's a soft strategy.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
You're telling me. If Levakland out there, if there was
a country called No No, No too big, Levakland was
a country, you wouldn't want to represent Levakland.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
If I couldn't represent the US. Yeah, I'd rather represent
the US than Lovakland. Red white, and blue baby country
named after yourself. Well, because that's clearly they're just pandering
to me at that point. I mean, there is a
there's a township in Canada called Levac. It's a mining
town that could have been used. Spell just like spell
just like this, not the Canadian version.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I'm just saying that smaller countries treat the Olympic athletes
far better than bigger countries. So whether it's Ireland, Trinidad
and Tobago, and I think I'm saying that right, I
would just represent a smaller people do this all the time.
Michael Benjer, he played for Syracuse. He represented Oh Gosh,
Ghana because his parents are from Ghana. I believe in
(17:08):
the Olympics. There's nothing wrong with that. It's not anti American.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
It's smart.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
You want to get to the Olympics, Yeah, but you
don't want to represent your country in the olymp Isn't
that part of the magic?
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Like Joel Embiid doing a couple yeah, and he.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Was like, listen, I want to win a gold medal.
I'm gonna I'm gonna roll with I'm gonna run with
the US. I'm not gonna run with whatever.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
I have to accept that my Olympic days are over. Yeah,
that was my last your Olympic No, no, no, no, no,
that's not this is not your last chance. Your last
chance was when you started breathing out of the womb.
You're like, yep, not going to the Olympics. You, I
mean you could go to the Olympics in La next year.
You can buy some tickets. We probably get credentials. Come on,
(17:47):
if you're with me on the sibone biles take, you
can let us know at Tom gos t one's with you.
I won't shame you, but I will say your name
and my support.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
No one, no one's.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
The only person on my side is John Wiener right now,
and that it's just because he wants to make people angry.
That's all he's doing. So DJ hot take Ee and
DJ John Weeney are out here just making messes and things. Listen,
I'll tell you what. I'm gonna tell you how to
market your stupid idea to make sure that most people
hear it. Maybe somebody that's unlike unlike the rest of us,
(18:19):
it's like you will hear it and be with you.
You're gonna go to elevation ten k dot com. You're
gonna elevation ten thousand. You go listen, have a terrible idea,
have a terrible stance on something, but I want everyone
to hear it in hopes that someone will agree with me,
and then Dave mclett and the crew from Elevation ten
thousand and go, Okay, who's most likely to have this
(18:39):
terrible take? Well, Gods is a white male early thirties
orangu's hanging arms? Okay, boom, they'll put that in and
then they'll have it. They'll they'll search those people and
get it in front of those people with with with
with ott otp SEO, and they know all this stuff
day understand that I don't. They'll be able to do
(19:01):
to get your word out Gods. So people, Elevation ten
thousand and go, I don't agree with your message. I
don't agree with your brand. However, we are here to
help you spread the word the best way possible, and
that's what we'll do with Elevation.
Speaker 4 (19:13):
I can be in your algorithm today, Elevation ten thousand.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
If you showed up, like if you showed up a
minder like Smolle Biles is overrated, I'd be.
Speaker 3 (19:22):
Like, hello, mister Internet, why am I seeing this? I
don't agree with this at all?
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Take them off off what the whole Internet?
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So elevate your brand with good ideas and they'll help
you even come up with the good ideas, elevate your
brand today with elevation ten thousand.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
That's right, that was.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
The elevate your brand today with elevation ten thousand. That's
one of the best insults I've ever heard for a
radio show. I was producing a radio show and so
would call and said, I need this off. I said,
off what? I just need you to somehow in my
car remove this station from the dial. Our next segment
won't be that bad. You'll still stay on the dial
or on podcast. I have a question for you. Yes,
(20:02):
you have a certain team that you root for, and
they found themselves in a bit of controversy over the
last few days.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Say which hunt? Say which hunt? Is that what you said?
Let's talk about that. Coming up next. Fox Sports Radio
ninety five.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Eighty it's Lovak and guz on the Voice of the
Capitol Regions Sports Fan Fox Sports ninety five nine and

Live Inchie Toys, the studio that's Toys with a z
Levan got here with you on a Monday.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
It's a very on Monday Monday.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
For me, I'm short timing like a champ bro because
I got Disney a week from today. Well, I leave
for Disney next Sunday, so or this Sunday now because
next Sunday. Yeah, so this Sunday I leave for Disney.
I'm short timing, bro. It's Monday, but it feels a
lot like a Wednesday to me. I think that's allowed
short time to go. Then we just started five. I
got five, well four work days. We're almost done. We're
(20:48):
the third hour.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
If you're short timing today, what is my Thursday and
Friday gonna look like?
Speaker 3 (20:52):
With you?
Speaker 2 (20:53):
I let with you part is probably the most questionable.
I got Disney flu. I gotta go to Disney.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
I have a question for you. Involving your Michigan Wolverines,
multiple outlets are reporting what's going on involving in the
NC double A Taron Moore, the new head coach, dot
Jim Harbaugh. There's talks of weather for more.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
The dude from Criminal Minds nice?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Did I say?
Speaker 3 (21:21):
Oh gosh?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
I was saying, I know their names are close and
it's very likely that might slip this season.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Oh yeah, oh yeah?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
A threat. A thread of fifty two text messages to
Conner Stallion's back at October. Some of those have been
obtained by Espiano. Draft noticed of allegations has been found
by Pete Thammel and others at the ESPN in this article.
Deleted text messages were discovered by the NCAA through device
(21:51):
imaging and later turned over by Moore, considered a repeat
offender Levac. Some reports are saying that it's been vulgar
text messages that were involved.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
What yeah, what was he saying to Connor Stallions It
was so vulgar?
Speaker 4 (22:04):
No, social media is acting a bit weird about some
of those.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Vulgar is an odd term that can be described multiple
different ways. You've read some of the reports out here.
There's some people that are saying, there is no way
this is gonna happen. There's no suspension, there's no vacating
to championships. There's others that said, of course they have
to be punished by this. That might be wearing which
you stand if you're allegiance or alliance to Michigan football.
By the way, forty and three Michigan the past three seasons,
(22:30):
a Big Ten championship, three times, in a National CHAMPIONIP
in twenty twenty three. That is the college football team
you rouled for the harness. What do you make of
the stuff that's been reported over the last few days,
with one big thing to add, the Stallions documentary Sign Stealers,
said to be released on August twenty seventh.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Poppy cock, That's what I say. So here's the deal, right,
So if you came out and said that, how the
hell do you so if you came out and said that,
how the hell do you think you're gonna be able
to go back and punish a guy for something to
happen last year?
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Hangle work, angle work, Time to let it go. Kids.
We have we have testimony that other teams that were
doing something extremely similar. The NCAA just yesterday came out
and said that, you know what, that guy on the
sideline for Eastern Michigan and all that was Connor Stallions.
They couldn't figure out who Connor Stallions was until a
(23:24):
week this week. It's not it's ridiculous at this point.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
Let it go, popping a little frozen and let it go,
because you you're not gonna win a lawsuit on this
one after you just came out and said it was
a good win.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Adding to the Pete Theamil quote, I want to give
him credit for this. Pete Thamil said this. The reporter
for the Four Letter Network quote talking to people who
traded in the NCAA infraction space in the last twenty
four hours. The one thing I'm certain of is that
any accomplishments that they Michigan want will not be taken
away those typically involved players who are non eligible. There's
really no players involved here. This is as close to
(24:01):
certain as you can possibly be when dealing with the
nc double A and then a postseason ban. It's extremely
difficult to get a postseason ban. Okay, So the fact
that illegal players weren't used, and this is the oddest
part about it. They can't punish Stallions, he's not there anymore.
I can't punish Harball, he's not there anymore. But they
technically did punish Hardball when he was there last season.
(24:23):
But some of that was the NCUBAA. Some of that
was self inflicted or self infracted. That's onward. But I
think that's correct by Michigan last season. Do I think
Cotterer Stallions still the signs? Yeah, that doesn't matter though,
Like just because you stole the signs, you have to
still make the play. This is not and I'll say
this again, this is not the Houston Astros. This is
(24:45):
not banging on a trash can yelling fastball. He's reading
to the right. Okay, still gotta stop him, Still gotta
make a play. Your signs are out loud. Change your signs.
That's the one thing, right Factly, everyone says, Michigan stealing signs. Okay,
change him. You guys know, going to the game, Michigan
stealing your signs.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
Huh.
Speaker 4 (25:05):
But you don't want to put up a different cartoon character.
You want to put somebody else up.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
And didn't like every game that more comes and just
like every fourth quarter or second half was the ball
running through, running over whatever. Oh he stole our signs.
He ran the ball forty five times the second half. Yeah,
because we were we were in a pass defensive defense
the whole time.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Dead happen. Then he ran over us again like it's
run well he did. Then he ran over us again,
like it's just there's what signs? Did this? Dude?
Speaker 2 (25:39):
If you want to tell me, hardball with some of
the creative stuff he's doing on the field. Okay, he
got suspended, he missed games, he left, he ain't here
no more more? All right, student body left alight? Everybody
student body right, Okay, crash the a gap, Okay, go
like it's how is that? Like he must be the
(26:01):
worst thief everybody size and he just that's his whole
offensive plan.
Speaker 4 (26:04):
This is gonna you're gonna hate this comparison. But it
isn't of all his school. You're the leader of hatreot nation. Yes, sir,
you love Michigan. Not a fan of sombrade' at least
the Patriots the way they did things. Yeah, this story
of more deleting the text messages gives me a very
brady deleting and destroying his phone vibe from the flate gate.
Remember that I.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Delete my text messages every time I'm drunk, every single
time I'm not in a relationship.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
I got nothing to hide.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
I just literally look at my phone and go too
much clutter, can't find the one I'm looking for, and
start deleting text messages.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
My phone set to thirty days. Yeah, every time after
thirty days, all my text messages get to lead this.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
There you go, it happens. It is like am I
saying that he did everything clean? Who knows, don't know,
don't care. You got your pound of flesh from Harbaugh. Okay,
the more you do right now is gonna put last
year's game into question.
Speaker 3 (26:56):
That's stupid. Paul Feinebaon put it best. Nobody was spec
cares with the NCAA thing.
Speaker 5 (27:01):
That's it.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
I'm with Paul five Bob on this because here's the
probably nca I will rarely, I don't think I've ever
said this before ever involving sports from the professional to
the college of the high school rinks, rarely do I
want to be the person who says, you know what,
I think we need to get the police involved. However,
there is something funny about if the police had to
get involved here, like if you had a real unit
that you respected people enforcing justice in the law. Coach Moore,
(27:28):
why did you delete your text messages? Uh no, we're
gonna figure it out, Like how the police would handle
that same thing with Brady, Sir, you destroyed evidence in
a case that we're pursuing. I'm sure much more things
involving the law would happen with Tom Brady and Coach
Moore in comparison to the NCAA being like, hey, ah,
(27:49):
don't do that, what do you mean? S Like, I
just have this moment of like the NCAA basically being
dead at this point with NIL and conference or realignment
and whoever's representing the ncdable is like leaping at their
desk and there's cobwebs on the phone and it finally rings, like, hey,
you gotta deal with this Connor Stanley's Michigan thing.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
Ah do?
Speaker 4 (28:08):
I I don't wanna? Can't I just go? It's just
like they're hiding under the desk like no, please, can
I just call the police? I'm totally Paul fine, bub
this is about wait, like five more NCUBA things they
have to deal with.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
You know.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
That's actually how the NCAA can be liked again. Just whatever,
who cares? I'm the fun uncle now, everybody. I've been
suspending people over bagels and autographs all these years. I
don't care anymore.
Speaker 3 (28:37):
Just do what you want?
Speaker 4 (28:37):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
This is?
Speaker 3 (28:38):
What? And what if?
Speaker 2 (28:40):
What if the Big eighteen looks at the NCUBLEA and
goes back off or else? Like you can't live without
them anymore? The Big Ten is eighteen teams and we're
talking about two right now. Who are your odds on
favorite win the whole damn thing or in the Big ten?
(29:03):
So the the Big eighteen, looks over to the looks
over the NCLA and goes, Hey, this thing with more
that you're doing a coach more over in Michigan. Yeah,
we're gonna we're gonna fair and yeah, you're gonna stop
or we're gonna stop.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
What do you mean you're gonna stop?
Speaker 2 (29:21):
You're gonna stop, But we're gonna stoping moments of the
NCAA and there's nothing you can.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Do to stop us. We have everything we need to
play without you.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
What's it? Bye, guys, see you later. It's been fun.
It is very much like the uncle dad, grandpa feel too.
It's like, hey, we're eighteen now, we don't have to
live here anymore. I follow your rules, We've got our
own job. We're good. We figured this out without you guys. Bye,
see you later. Yeah, this is not gonna lead to suspension.
I'm very fascinating to watch the Netflix documentary. I think
(29:51):
it's gonna be really good. The deleted tax can to
anything about it anymore. Uh, as Michigan is the football team,
I still would put them into the third best seven
in the Big Ten. It wasn Mike on Twitter, Mike
on Instagram. I don't think it was either the back.
I think it was somebody who shares something on social
with us that did the map, like the commercial that's
airing right now to promote the Big ten as you
call it, the Big eighteen, where they're way out in
Los Angeles, but then the map twist to Washington and
(30:14):
then it swings back to the It's like forty five
seconds of just trying to move the map around, of
trying to find the teams.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
It's an insane amount of teams. There's no regionality to
it anymore. But again, the powers is undeniable. When I've
got eighteen schools, of which sixteen what do you say
about Rutgers in Northwestern? Are all powers? To the point
(30:44):
where like and even they like Rutgers is relevant Again
herk Curb.
Speaker 4 (30:47):
Street thinks they're the sleeper in the conference this year.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
I just, I mean, I just had to imagine a
call from the Big eighteen and this whole thing goes away,
because why wouldn't it. No, we're gonna we're gonna hold
our we're gonna stick to our guns.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Okay, you stick to them. I don't know what your
shoot at though, because we all.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Laughed wasn't in the late Jerry Tarkanian who said something
like that with it. The uh if U c l
A commits the penalty, then you and l if he
gets punished some variation of that quote.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
The SA is so mad at Duke that they just
uh suspended the just punished Oklahoma State or something.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get the point of the clill
that we both just butchered, but you.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Get it right well. At the bottom line is the
big eighteen powerhouses. What are you gonna do? What are
you gonna do to us?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
You can't take away Christmas, you can't eat us, So
we can actually, we can change our schedule tomorrow and
just play ourselves. We can break up in divisions and
just play ourselves and flip you the bird while you
while you flounder without us. Because once we do it
and prove it works, SEC is gonna do it, acc
(31:58):
is gonna do it, and then you're have nothing left
because all the schools were gone.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
But I love it more.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
College football. It's kicking off this month. That is fun
to say. College football kicks off this month Week zero,
Week one, August thirty, first Week zero August twenty fourth.
Awesome stuff. Coming college football. I'll speak out tomorrow. You
and I are live for mohawkan it tomorrow. I know
that the dump's still coming up at tomorrow. We're live
for Mohawk Conda, where they always go out of the
way to please you. We texted our guy Nate today,
right did I text Nate? I saw that in intext back,
(32:27):
which is not a good sign. But we're going to
be there no matter what. We'll be at Mohawk kinda
live three to six tomorrow having a great time has
always come a visit. If you're looking for a new vehicle,
a new ride, Mohawk Conda is the spot for you.
I saw some I guess I call it in law
cousins recently when I was back at Houston began they're like, ooh,
I didn't know you had a new ride. I didn't
see that.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (32:45):
That's a twenty twenty four hones See you're looking at
and it's not my vehicle, it's my wife's. Where's yours?
Mohaw Kanda will answer those questions. I know where mine is.
I didn't drive back to Syracuse. I trust my wife
behind the wheel for a waterful otysy CRV. Maybe you
love the pilot. I got some issues with Nate about
the EV prolog, which we'll get tomorrow on their social
media platforms. But if you're looking for people you want
to trust their in the Carbine experience and up here.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
It's love acing guzz on the Voice of the Capitol
Regions Sports fan Fox Sports ninety five to nine and
nine eight.
Speaker 3 (33:12):
Time for the gym.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
We on each show with the stuff that didn't get
its way into the rest of the show. A couple
of days now, this has been sitting down here. Just
you know, a judge is signing with the NFL overturns
the Sunday ticket verdict where they owe four point seven billion,
possibly more. So that's far from done, just so we're
all clear. If you're waiting for that.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
Big payday from the Sunday ticket lawsuit, keep waiting. But
I just wanted to get that in there. We keep
mentioning it, keep forgetting to mention it. So there it is.
Speaker 4 (33:41):
If you are that person waiting for that, maybe go outside,
touch some grass, Touch some grass a little bit. I'm
concerned for you if you're out there waiting around for
that pay that big payday coming from the Sunday ticket. Man,
we all love football, but it's going to be a while.
It's been a while already by.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
The oh my head. Sorry, we'll stand for you.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
I know you have notes, do I scribbled some things down.
I just started banging on the keyboard a little bit.
I feel like we didn't talk enough about one hundred
meters dash today. That was unbelievable, man, Like I I
quiteted everybody in the silence. There's world history about your
court children outside out.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
Of the pool.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
That race, that poor broadcaster got it wrong and I
don't know the dude it from Jamaica and win. Watch
that race in the lifetime. I don't know how I
would have called it. You almost had to do like
a Tom Dirkin call like horse racing. You had it
like too close to call. We go to the photo technology,
like that's what you want?
Speaker 3 (34:41):
I think.
Speaker 4 (34:43):
I feel like that's what I want. But now having
a few days a day to think about it, and
having a few hours of this show to think about it,
you sain Bolt dominating was pretty awesome, you know, like
you sain Bolt being the fastest dude who's ever lived
and having a like body distance between the other guys,
was pretty awesome. No matter what is track and field, football, baseball, basketball,
(35:05):
seeing the greatest of a certain thing do with it
that height was awesome. I loved the hundred meter dash.
I know that Jerry Seinfeld stand up routine is going
on viral today about like him basically moving his head
from greatness to the worst. How close some of these
races have been. Maybe people of a generation have been
spoiled by this, the fact that it's not ped or dominance.
(35:26):
They're getting used to this for the first time. I
thought it was amazing. That is my favorite event at
the Olympics, when you can say you're the fastest man
or woman alive on planet Earth. And the hundred meter
dash says that loved it. I struggled with it because
I wasn't even ready for it to happen. And in
the past in my house kind of like what you
talked about, like you stop, Carl Lewis is going for
(35:47):
the record, this one's going with this.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
Ben Jonson cheated all the stuff.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
Right, and I'm like, god, I didn't even know, No,
I didn't know who was running except for I remember
the controversy with him. He talked a little whatever and
I thought, oh my, this is more proof that they
don't market the athletes throw away in the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
And then I had another thought.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
That thought with that thought, so I too, my two
brain cells that are still working, we're banging in each other.
Back in the day, there were three places to get
your Olympics news. The newspaper, the TV or the radio.
Speaker 3 (36:28):
That was it. That was all you could do. That's
all you had.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
Now there's websites, content creators, TV, radio, newspaper, carrier pigeon
like it's there's there's so many different places, but each
one of those places chooses what it provides you for information.
So I literally couldn't sleep for like an hour the
(36:54):
other night, and I watched YouTube videos on haunted campsites.
Instead of in the past, I would have turned on
Sports Center and just left Sports Center on and I
would have known everything I need to know about the Olympics,
the Yankees come back, all that stuff. But no, because
I have so many options. I now know that there's
(37:15):
a crying woods in Pennsylvania. There's some dude who goes
camping with his dog in Great Britain always seems to
find screaming things like it might be our fault. We
might have too much on the menu. It's like the
media went from that specialty menu that you get, hey today,
we put these together for you to a cheesecake factory
(37:36):
menu and were there's way too many of us. Instead
of getting our vegetables, we're over here going, oh, look,
it's a Skittles cheesecake.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
We should go on. Like the old expression, video killed
the radio star. Yeah, I would say streaming killed the
cable somewhere in the same take of on demand sports
in technology killed the Olympics. I know what you're saying,
though there are people who like what you just said.
The popularity of the Olympics is hurt because you either
(38:05):
watch it live on a streaming service like peacock, or
you're the people who will not be considered old and
watch the primetime coverage starting at eight o'clock to eleven thirty,
even though it happened six hours earlier and you could
have watched it. Like, there's a huge divide now of
what do you mean? Like I was, I was in
a group chat the other day and someone's like, how
are you guys watching this fifteen hundred meter And I
(38:26):
was like, dude, it happened six hours ago. He's like, ye,
I didn't see it.
Speaker 3 (38:28):
Though.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
They're like mocking the guy because he've ran in college.
Speaker 3 (38:31):
And they're like, dude, you're thirty.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Why are you not getting this? Like, go watch it
on the computer. I gar you say the back, like,
if you talk about the expansion of media, no sport,
nothing got hurt more than the Olympics because of time
zones and everything. But as you mentioned, maybe all that
changes in twenty twenty eight when it's in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
I hope I see. You know what it is.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
It's much like the rest of my life. I have
ADHD and I'm dyslexic. I have to take out her
all periodically to get through my day and be able
to focus.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
I need media adderall I need.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
I need something like I need something that Like one
of my favorite things to do is I want to
when I go downstairs in the morning, I'm getting my
coffee and get everything together, grab my seat for all
that stuff.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
I'll yell out and be like, Alex, so, what's new
everybody's news? Just want to.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Because it's like, whatever the headlines are, she rips through
them for me. I need I think I need to
do like, like, hey, what's the what what are the
biggest stories in the Olympics. You know, I'm gonna have
to I'm gonna have to start paying attention again. I'm
not good at that.
Speaker 3 (39:35):
Paying attention is definitely one of my lower ability.
Speaker 4 (39:37):
You like, want a ticker on gold zone, like I
need everything going on plus what's already had.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
I still haven't found gold zone. That's the problem. I
need gold zone real quick. Did you see the was
Its People Magazine put together a list of some of
the top olympians hype music, the stuff they play for
themselves while they're gett wile they're training.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
