quotes our farmers. So today is the day that well,
we we break down Baker Mayfield seeing a UFO, which
we'll get to that coming up in a few minutes,
because you know clearly that's the story of the day.
And I mean, if anytime you you want to talk
(01:06):
about UFOs somehow, it's like, oh wait a minute, I
hear from people haven't heard from it a long time. Ago.
You know, here's the thing about UFOs, Jason, Oh okay, okay, uh,
but you thought it was crazy, You thought that was
just gonna die. You got up some folks thinking that
we dropped acid before the show too much, sugars man
(01:27):
and making sure and tapping their radios to make sure
that they're on the right affiliate station. Thank you to
all the program directors across this great land four hundred
plus uh that have decided to have Jason and I
entertain and inform you in the evening and early morning hours.
So cheers. You know. You know the funny thing about
affiliate that that ties into that story. You know, here
(01:49):
we are now right over. I think we're at four
hundred twenties some affiliates right now. And it's like, hey, man,
it's where we're at. We're all he's four twenty man. Uh.
When we were first told, yeah, you're gonna be around
two six, and that's just gonna be the way it is.
It's not good or bad, it's just that's gonna be
the way it is. And here we are now at
uh Kirk Crutchmer affiliate director doing a phenomenal job getting
(02:10):
the show on in more places there's only like five
fifteen markets in the country, right, not only, but there's
about five and fifteen markets in the country. And for
us to be on this and we're not, like what,
we're not a show that's on overnight that is cleared
everywhere because everybody you know, takes overnight programming. I'm pretty
pleased with that. And that's one thing I do know, alright,
pretty happy with that. But when I was on all
(02:32):
night on ESPN, right, that's when I was on like
because that was overnight. I was on like five hundred
and and one Affiliates or something like that. It was
insane the amount of number because it was overnight, and
people took the programming. And I remember talking to my
to my bosses once and I'm saying, boy, this has
to be the uh, I mean, who's on more station
said than this show? I mean really right, because of
(02:52):
the way clearance said go you go, No, there's one
show that's on More And I said, there's a show
that's on More. They go yeah, Art Bell Show, which
was a long show about paranormal and UFOs and everything else. Look,
Art Bell had a show on for a long time
and that was what his show was you know it
was up and you know he passed away a couple
of years ago, but it was like, yeah, you know
Art Bell, No, he was. He was some more stations
(03:14):
than anybody, and I was like, oh my goodness, I
can't believe that. And you know that was that was
a situation Art Bell on the show about UFOs and
paranormal that did that was on more stations. How about
that the more you know, unbelievable. Still have Coach to Coast, Yes, yes,
you still have Coast to Coast Now I'm thinking maybe
we could change and we come coast to coast since
(03:35):
clearly you know that that's the story that that most
people want to talk about tonight is Baker Mayfield in
the UFOs and seeing I think that if you've had
a UFO experience, add how about Afraska at Swollen If
you have grainy video or maybe some sketches that you've
done in your art studio were what you saw, I'd
(03:56):
appreciate them. I'm with you on that because I what
I would like to see as people who have seen
UFOs now in the media like kind of like uh,
you know Kyrie Irving saying the world is flat? Okay,
if you think the world is flat, Let's see if
you agree, this is your time, right Let let me
see I kind of feel that way now if you've
seen a UFO, let's see. Let I want people with
check marks and people I want to hear your stories
(04:17):
about UFOs and people see in UFOs. See. If you
did the Caidens differently, you would have been invoking a
sports talk radio legend. I want to talk to you.
If you're an alien, I want to talk alien stuff
with you here on Fox Sports Radio Aliens right to
the top of the rotation, eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. If you're an alien from another planet, you
(04:39):
want to get into talk about the NBA All Star
Weekend right now, eight seven seven ninety nine. I'll tell
you what. You open up those phone lines, they will
be full on a mat about eight eight and a
half seconds, mellow, and I would like to talk about
the Mets bullpen being bad already, Matt, Matt, Matt, I
just know I'd get trolled by aliens. The first th
I want to talk about is a mat. You do
(05:01):
that impression again. I think Zoe's gonna come crashing in
and uh, Terry take you to the floor. You know,
that's another thing. Why why do robots all have to
have robots? Why why do aliens all to have crazy
as voices? Why can't they just have normal voices like
us were, you know, write regular voices, English speaking English, French, Spanish,
whatever it is, speaking just like this. Why do always
have to have really weird voices? I was gonna say
(05:23):
that Ultron was James Spader, but he's really not an alien.
No he's no, he's a robot. They made him, but
they had to get the voice from somewhere. Oh sure
they did. But look, but why do whenever we picture aliens,
we picture aliens with having some kind of crazy voice
that is like through a distorder or a box, and
it's it's always he sounded like he was from New York.
(05:44):
Yeah yeah, but he was actually a real guy in
in the Alphaba mel mag Yeah. I mean, nowadays you
watch a movie and it's always like sinister, but die,
we want you to die? Well, you know, why is
that the case? That's a good qu Can aliens just
be nice? Maybe they have high voices. Maybe you have
(06:06):
a theory at how about a fresca at him all
night long on the highway they will sound like Michelle
Wolf the comedian, really high voices like she does. Uh So,
if you want a couple of hot takes, we have
some hot takes for you. Ready, A little hot take
theater going on with a big story in the NFL
that Ben Roethlisberger is coming back for one last round
(06:27):
up with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was agreed today he
was gonna take less money based salary down to fourteen
million dollars a year, and he will now play this
season with the Steelers. Look, we we've told you many
different things about Roethlisberger. Is about a thirty percent chance
he holds onto the job. He's at the end of
his run. They have Dwayne Haskins. They will get another
quarterback most likely to be able to succeed him, and
(06:50):
if he doesn't play well, he will lose that job midseason.
So it's not suddenly going to be sunshine, lollipops and
rainbows for him. But just a couple of other things
you want to talk about hot takes with Roethlisberger coming back,
right Number one, Ben Roethlisberger will be the worst quarterback
in the a f C North this year. Or if
you want, if you want to be positive about incide,
he'll be the fourth best quarterback in the a f
(07:12):
C North this year. Hey, why do you got to
be so negative? All right, he'll be the fourth best
quarterback in the a f C North. Lamar Jackson is
already better. Baker Mayfield was better at the end of
the year. This year, the last eight games, he was better.
He'll go in better this year. And Joe Turbo charged. Yeah,
and he's he met aliens. You can you know the
(07:35):
power that they put inside Baker Mayfield's body. Now he's
been throwing the football like ninety yards downfield, He's gonna
look like Patrick Mahomes throwing that football. Now it's got
all that off. Coach put him in the fourth quarter,
they would have one state. Uh so you already have
two quarterbacks that are going to be better than him
and Joe Burrow. You saw how terrific he was before
he got hurt last year. Was a shame he got hurt,
(07:57):
but he comes back healthy. The Bengals are on the
way up, and and they are a team that that's
the only team that's got a leap frog the Steelers.
I mean, you look at the coming off the thirteen
and three season playoff. Yeah, they weren't quite the Steelers
after Week eleven, and Roethlisberger clearly was at the end.
So I can't see how an off season is going
to suddenly make Roethlisberger better when he's gonna lose weapons
(08:20):
and everybody else is just gonna be getting better in
the division. And Joe Burrow, if he's healthy, yeah, he
will clearly be better than Roethlisberger because he was just
as good before he got hurt. So you're talking about
the order of pecking order in the a f C North,
it's gonna be Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and that Joe
Burrow may actually get up to Baker Mayfield this year
because Burrow is that good. And then you're talking about
(08:42):
Ben Roethlisberger being at the bottom of the quarterbacks now
in the a f C North, he'll be the fourth
best quarterback in that division. See, And that's the hard
part is that all four good? Right then's not done? Right? Still?
Thirty three and ten thirty yards, sixty six percent completion right,
go through all of it. And I know it was
not the same squad. And I offer that while the
(09:05):
team as a as a whole was not the same
those final couple of weeks. We talk about injuries. Pouncey
missing a ton of time certainly doesn't help in the
final year of his Hall of Fame career, and I
really thought that together. No exactly, but you have a
full season, full off season to break somebody new in
(09:25):
as opposed to Hey, you, I've taken no snaps from
you all season long. Twelve. Hey, let's go. Uh we
see how that works. Not to mention, you know, just
calling out defenses and everything else. You gotta get a
whole shift that happens there. So I'm not gonna bury Ben.
And that's the hard part is, you know, from the
hot takery of it all, how much separation between two,
(09:47):
three and four is there gonna be. I don't think
it's gonna be vast. I think with Joe Burrow, you've
got the injury concerns, but the bigger thing is can
you find five guys in front of him to protect him.
That's what I'm worried about. In Cincinnati. Man, when that
guy's upright and he's moving and he's working down field
to te Higgins uh and and the other receivers on
that squad. Yeah, there were there was a lot to
(10:09):
like about Joe Burrow, and you know what every other
past attempt was, Oh he just got buried again? Is
he gonnagain? Right? So that's that's the hard part. I
don't I don't know how much they can fix that
problem because that was a big problem. And I think
unlike Russell Wilson and holding onto the football, I don't
think we can pin a lot of the hits on
Joe Burrow. I think as he had a pretty good timer.
(10:33):
Why because he was getting drilled with regularity, so I
think he understood the one one thousand, two, one thousand
go mentality that he needed to have. So I enjoy it.
I enjoyed the the debate because I love the four
guys in this in this quad. But but Ben Roethlisberger,
I think you're selling short. They bring back all those
(10:53):
wide receivers, probably not Juju Smith Schuster, but you know what,
they can find guys in the you know, second day guys,
and they always have to step into a prompt role
of prominence. So I think there's still upside with the
wide receiving corps. Maybe a little more work out of
the tight end position. Eric ebron Um had his highlights,
(11:14):
as you and I know from the fantasy perspective, and
there were a lot of times we were texting each
other's like, how does he not catch that ball? What happened?
So hey, maybe some stick hum? Maybe we send him
some stick hum and said thank you for your support.
Uh So, I I think it'll be better and a
better running game. Yeah, I'm not burying Ben just yet.
The economics of it all don't make sense to me still,
(11:36):
even with the pay cut. But from the your perspective,
I'll take to a B and C and you can
shuffle up and deal. Well, well, that gets into my
next hot take is is I'm looking at the Steelers
finishing last in the North this season, all right, the
bell that's the only team that's got to get past
them because the Ravens are better, the Browns are better,
(11:59):
and so it's just about the Bengals and if Roethlisberger's
if I don't think Roethlisberger is gonna be as good
as Joe Burrow, how many games are they really gonna win?
You know, the Steelers, this is this is one of
those years. Look, I know you're used to the Steelers
every year playing great and and and being over five
hundred and making the playoffs and that and their achievement
of excellence has been unmatched. I mean, it really has
(12:19):
been something, uh the past twenty some odd years. But
you can see this coming for Pittsburgh. Uh, they have
to remake themselves at running back. They're gonna send losing
Juju Smith Schuster. That's losing a big weapon. You know,
They've got guys coming back from injury that you're wondering
are they gonna come back? He talked about missing Markey's pouncy,
our Paruncy retiring, and this is now a team that
(12:41):
is in transition and they don't know what they're going
to be. So if Roethlisberger's if I don't believe Roethlisberg's
gonna play that, well, how are they gonna get ahead
of those teams? All Right? It's really just about them,
just about them fighting with the Bengals to see you
finishes in third place in the a f C North
because the Ravens and the Man they're getting it. They're
moving on Man and the Ravens are gonna get a
(13:03):
big weapon for for Lamar Jackson this offseason. They're gonna
bring in a big wide receiver. That's the only thing
they're missing. The Browns, you saw how good they are
and and with another year of of maturation, I mean,
they know how to win. Baker Mayfield's proven he's the
quarterback for that team. He fits exactly what they do
and now he's gonna be alien supercharged. Uh. Look, the
(13:23):
Bengals are on the way up. I believe when you
have a franchise quarterback, everything is possible and you have
some nice pieces. They're already So I'm telling you, man,
I could see the Steelers finishing last in the a
f C North this season. I like it and I'll
go with you, and they're gonna be better than the Bengals.
But as for the Browns, the Browns, the jury's out.
(13:43):
I need to see three new guys back with Denzel
Award in the secondary, and then we can talk twitter
at how about a fresca Mike gets swollen down the

Plexico Birds on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast
(15:12):
or wherever you get your podcast from sports radio with
my best friend Mike Harmon special shout out to Alex
Tishirt for finding all kinds of songs having to do
with Aliens tonight, coming off the Baker Mayfield story that
(15:34):
he saw a UFO he was coming home from dinner
last night with his wife. Something bright dropped down over
a lake and took off, And this is where the
story is today. Everybody's saying, now, uh, you want some
tweets on this? So you want something on this? All? Yeah,
(15:56):
we got they mean are they happy? Oh no, no, no,
no no no no, they're they're they're great, They're great.
Here we go. First one. Jason Urgie, talking about the
Baker Mayfield former co worker, was convinced his ankle pain
was an implant from Aliens when he was out of
line with them. He said, they activated the implant to
make him limp. Nice guy, but wow, way out there.
(16:19):
So alien planted something in his ankle to teach him
a lesson. I I can get alongside that. I mean,
that's what we keep talking about there. There are some
conspiracy theorists about other things that we have to do
in the country, as too, implants and tracking and whatever else.
(16:39):
So you know, what's not that far off. Okay, well
well maybe okay, So maybe what you're saying is that
when a player has a recurring injury, he's not really injured.
It's aliens who have bet on the other team giving
these players injuries to keep them out of the game.
Potential is certainly there. Yes, Okay, alright, alright, I'm here there. Okay,
Uh Jason, how do you think the stealth bomber was
(17:02):
created reverse engineering? From UFOs? The stealth was created the eighties? Next,
so we actually us that's how we built a stealth bomber? Well,
I mean, there there might be something to that. So
taking bits and pieces of I mean, you stand on
(17:24):
the shoulders of giants to reach the next level of greatness,
and maybe those giants came from another dimension. Okay, I'm
just you know, I'm just thinking that. You know, if
we actually had a I found a spaceship, many other
things would happen before they say, you know what, let's
just build a stealth bomber out of this. Can we
(17:45):
get something that just flies and doesn't make any noise? Hey,
that's what we're gonna do. I gotta think that there's
other things that would happen. Yeah, you'd like to think. So, uh, Jason,
blow in your mind, Jason. Uh, my favorite things you've
talked about Number one alien segments, Number two Nicks. So
(18:09):
the nix are right under the alien segments. Apparently for tonight.
Stop using your burner account, Jay, I'll put tie shirt.
Oh my goodness. Uh so again just a sample of
some of the things we're getting after the Bakermors. But
but I want I want to know this. I want
(18:30):
to Yeah, it's people are gonna think it's Thanksgiving when
they turn this is not just for Thanksgiving. Damn fine
meat and togetherness, all that stuff can be done any day.
Get no, no no, no, I'm big turkeys. But he keeps
playing the turkey gobble sound effect and trying to pass
it off as an Ani's little Howard Dean. I was
(18:57):
looking for more them. What what was it? The Jim
Harbaugh gobble gobble gob god turkey gobble jive turkey gobble
gobble gobble gobble. No, there there's some questions that listen,
if we're gonna talk about UFOs here, there's some questions
that we have to get to. And you know, there's
many things about UFOs and you know, last hour we
talked about, Hey, why are we always assumed that that
(19:18):
aliens are here to take us over? Right? Why can't
they just be here for vacation? Right? I mean, why
why do always assume all they want to take us over?
And so to that point, I say, why do we
always assume? Remember remember that big speech and kill bill
that David Krdeine gives about uh Superman and and says
that this is this is what Superman a parody of Earth.
That Superman is trying to blend in. So he blends
(19:40):
in and he wears this this he's Clark Kent, who
is very meek and mild and not brave and just
wants to blend in. And that's what he thinks, you know,
the world is like, that's what people are like. It's
this big satire on the world. And I thought, well,
it's pretty interesting. Why do we always think that in
all alien movies aliens are all kinds of powerful and
they're showing up and they're smarter than we are, and
(20:02):
there's so much more advanced than we are. Why can't
we be the most advanced UH planet? And why can't
we be the big bad planet on the block? Why
is it gonna be somebody else. What's funny they know
more than we do. Why can't we show up? Why
can't the Avengers show up on a planet and it's like,
oh wow, this planet needs some work. Oh this is
like a fixer upper planet. Man, I mean we we
this well, we got things going way better on Earth. Well,
(20:23):
why are all the planet? Why is it always Hey,
they're so much more advanced than we are. Why why
can't they just be Hey, I don't know that there's
anything more than protozoa. Okay, yeah, no with this planet. Now,
we don't need this plane. Let's go someplace else. Why
can't we be the big planet? Well, I'll tell you.
I think part of it is human nature. We we
either go one of two ways in our thinking. Right,
we're either the greatest thing in the world. Right. Some
(20:47):
would say that that's the you know, United States way
of looking at everything. We're the best, we're the biggest,
we're the best alls, and we're not really the biggest.
I mean obviously Russia, but you've got all these little
states with there. But when when you get down to it,
they either are thumping your chest and you're looking at
(21:07):
the self grand grandizing kind of way of the world,
or you're saying, well, I'm feeble and weak and I'll
never be good enough, and the ladder, you know, it
comes up, right, I mean it comes up in the
doubts when you're gonna get up in front of a
class and do a presentation, or right before the microphones
go on every night, because I knew you were going
to talk about the Knicks, and I did everything that
(21:28):
I could tod just not start cursing at you, and
I said, Okay, it's a legit story today, we'll let
it go. But it's the that idea of you know,
some of that self deprecating stuff that flies through I mean,
it's part of the weapon weaponry we use here and
many of our colleagues do, and sports media and entertainment
(21:50):
and all of you out there listening wherever you are
and think about it. Yeah, So you go one of
two ways. And when it comes to the potential for
alien life forms there, there's usually the right, let's let's
be go on the side of caution that we're probably
gonna get dominated, so let's figure out and we're just
(22:10):
gonna lose this game. Rights just be cautious. Well, I
mean that's that you go back into a defense, right,
yea huddle like go back to gladiator? What again, do
we gotta stay together? Then they can't get us right,
and and and then one by one they found their
spots and and then they dominated the same thing here.
We need we need to band together like this is
my called action. Everybody banding together solidarity. Let's push the
(22:34):
differences aside and recognize that we need to be ready
and vigilant and working together for the greatness of society
and to vanquish the inevitable arrival of aliens like those
seen by Baker Mayfield and his wife. Dude, that speech,
suck Man, Bill Pullman speech and Independence Day was so
much better. I did it off the cuff man. They
(22:57):
had a writer's room that probably agonized, don't for that.
For two bleep in years, mine was here, talk harmon.
I'm gonna keep beating a sand. What do you do
for a living? You speak for a living. Do you
think I wrote a speech about aliens for tonight? No,
you would write a speech about aliens you felt important
enough to mention it. You should have gone with the whole.
(23:18):
We will not go gentle into that. Good night. It's
been done, and Bill Pullman, Now you got me something
where you have to inspire people. Pullman, not Paxton exactly.
I look, I was inspiring. I gave a call to action.
Now you kind of said, let's be ready. Okay, what
does that mean? Let's be ready, let's be let's get
out there and let's let's let's do a couple more
(23:40):
set ups, do a couple more wind sprints, Let's do
some push ups into break, maybe jump some rope. Maybe
we get out there and we do some grappling where
we can, maybe we each buy our own slam man
that when you learn how to throw a punch or
a flying elbow, all of those things come together. I
didn't need to list them all out, but I did.
So this is where you need to get inspiring. Where
what you just said there. It would have been better
(24:00):
if you had said, do you think the aliens aren't
running extra sprints right now when they want to come
take over? Do you think they're just sitting back doing nothing.
They're running extra sprints. So we're gonna run extra sprints
because the aliens are coming. Now, that's how you get
everybody going that that, Okay, I gotta run extra sprints
now nothing else. If you're trying out for a team,
(24:21):
you'll be ready to try out for that team when
we go back fully to school. See there's you pick
up leagues. I'd be i'd you don't want to be
dropping because you haven't been running. And all of a
sudden you decide, hey, we're clear to go play in
a pickup game, and you, Jason Smith, you pull up
for a thirty five ft three point shot, and all
of a sudden you go down because Cardio ain't been
(24:43):
done that. You gotta prepare, You gotta be ready prepared.
I get, I get all the pilots in the room,
and I go, Captain America. Ain't walking through that door,
all right, Captain Marvel, ain't walking through that door. It's
all you. Captain's here that gotta get out there and
fight the aliens, the incredible and the captain it's me
will start playing. That's what I would do that. That's
a smart captain, fantastic. A little Elton John started playing
(25:05):
in the Captain FAsMA is not coming. Captain Fazim was
so disappointing a character. I'll tell you what. It took
a lot to polish that suit and keep it clean.
We claw with our fingernails for that inch to get
to that spaceship and blow it up. Because tell you what,
if we do this the nexother year, when we do
the sequel with the Baker Mayfield UFO story, I'll have
(25:27):
a better speech prepared. I promise. I blew all my money,
believe it or not to Coach, why are you telling
us this? We're getting ready to fight the ailings. It's
a whole big thing. It's about inches. The inches we
need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in
a game. And I lost all my money. I don't
(25:48):
have any money. I can't even stand the guy I
see in the mirror. You should losing all your money twice, Coach.
It's I'm getting to a point that you need to understand.
We claw with a fingernails for those inches. Because the
aliens don't have fingernails. They got rockets coming out of
their fingers. We're all gonna die, but it doesn't matter,
(26:11):
because you're gonna claw to get that much closer until
Tom Cruise can relive the day over and over and
over again, until he figures it out with Emily Blunt
and they can get rid of all the aliens that
are attacking us. That's the kind of speech I would give.
That's pretty good, Like yeah, like that even got Edge
of Tomorrow and that's pretty nice right there. Well, that's
(26:32):
a big reach. I have to explain Edge Tomorrow. Everybody
twitter and out about a Fresca. Mike gets swollen done
the Jason Smith Show and Mike Carmon. I really at
this point, I want someone to have an an alien
uflo story every night. I want someone to have one
every single night, you kidd every night, and you know,
and lastly, you know, right before you get to what's trending?
(26:55):
How come we never get aliens ships over a big
city in all the year is the earth has been around?
How come in big cities? No? No, the aliens are
always over a lake somewhere or somewhere out in the
middle of nowhere. How come not once we've gotten them
over a big city, not aliens over there? Look at
that big ship over New York, Well in the movies,
it's there. How come they not? Wonder No, we've never
had one over Miami. We've never had one over Seattle. Like,
(27:17):
oh my good we oh we almost bumped into the
space needle. That is a pretty eye building. We just
kind of got it the last second. Remember that story.
Why have we not seen that? Well, why is it
always in the middle of no Now, we've never seen
anything over a big city. Why not? Well, in recent
years it's Tony Stark's fault because they saw that and said, well,
he was gonna build stuff over the cities, so we'd
(27:38):
run into, you know, this invisible force field, which would
be bad. Otherwise. Maybe they're deep sea fishers. I don't know.
Maybe it's kind of like the Legion of Doom used
to be in the old Super Friends, where they're actually
located in the swamp and they come out every once
in a while. You're going with the old suit of
armor around the world. That around the world. That is right, okay?
(28:01):
And I needed you, Cap past tense, Okay, needed you. Okay,
I said we would lose. You said we'll do that
together too. Well, guess what, Cap, we lost and you
weren't there. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm
Eastern seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
I Heart Radio app. Call one eight eight Farmers and
(28:24):
you could say when your auto insurance. It's better than
using your phone to see if your post got any likes. Again,
call one eight eight eight farmers to get a quote.
We are farmers and written by FARMERSOK. Refine insurance and
changes there parts on available every day. This the new
song recorded by Baker Mayfield after seeing a UFO last night.
Big Hit gonna be uh gonna replace Agatha all along
(28:46):
as the number one song on UH. So as we
get set for many things right Coming to America two
is already being watched. They released it a day early.
One division is set to hit the West Coast in
an hour. It's already on in the East coast. We
have a lot of things coming up uh NBA All
Star weekend and tonight Team Lebron and Team Durant were drafted,
(29:09):
and you know, looking at the rosters and how things
are going so far, you look not like the All
Star Game is something that you know, we we we
care so much about the outcome. But wow, Lebron is
a much better drafter than Kevin Durant is. Okay, Uh
Lebron of course starting his team with himself. Kevin Durant
is injured, so we can't make this game. So his
(29:29):
first pick is Kyrie Irving, which, hey, that's awesome, right,
I'm picking my guy. This is what I'm doing. This
is gonna be great. Yeah, okay, so I got Kyrie Irving.
Lebron's first pick is your honest. So now it's Lebron
and you honest. Uh. Durank gets Joel Embiid, which is great,
and then Lebron winds up with Steph Curry. So the one.
I don't know what what Durant was really doing in
(29:50):
the in the in the in the draft when he
was drafting his his his team. But man, I'll tell
you what. Even though the the the reserves are about even,
Lebron's team is Lebron, Janice Curry, Luca Dons, and Nicola Yokich.
All right, this is a team that can easily play
with each other and and and use each other's skills.
Durance team is Kyrie and Bead Kauai, Bradley Beale and
(30:15):
Jayson Tatum. I expect this this five some to be
outscored by like fifty uh for when Lebron's team is
on the court in the All Star Game. It could be.
I thought it was interesting the explanation as to why
guys went last for the Jazz and burying the lead quote.
I just want to say something because there's no slander
to the Utah Jazz. But you guys gotta understand, just
(30:39):
like in video games growing up, we never played with Utah.
Even as great as Malone and Stockton were, we would
never have picked those guys never. I think it's a
big slight to John Stockton and saying that he was
an undervalued and underutilized player in the video game world.
I think there's there's a bigger message being sent there.
Lebron stepped in it right. There is no slander, no
(31:04):
no disrespect. Now it's no slander. This is part of
the jazz narrative. They don't Last night it was Donovan
Mitchell and Rudy Gobert don't get the calls the other
teams get, and clearly they had a case. Today you're
seeing the bias against them. They're the last two picks
in the All Star draft, and make no mistake, they
hate this. They're embarrassed by this. Right even though you
(31:24):
can you can look at it from the well, they're
all all stars. What does it matter? Uh, you know,
it's like the off because people are talking them up
as a contender. NBA players are nothing if not so
concerned with where their status is and who they think
is better than them and who they are better than.
(31:45):
They care about that more than anybody else. Right. NFL
quarterbacks don't care when people say, oh, I think Aaron
Rodgers is better than Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady,
you don't care when something like that happens. But NBA
players care deeply when that's a big narrative. All and
beat is a much better layer this year than Luka
don Sa Shore or Nicola Yokich. Oh boit? What are
you saying that? And everybody looks at where they got
(32:05):
drafted for the All Star Game, and so many people
are upset. How does so and so go ahead of me?
How does Zach Lavine go ahead of me? How do
the jazz players go last? It's embarrassing. It looks like
us getting picked for dodgeball or for anything else. You
don't want to get picked last. They don't want to
get picked last for the All Star Game. Everybody gets
picked late hates it. And I guarantee you both jazz
(32:27):
players are extremely upset about it. You know, What's great, though,
is that you're able to um use just one photo
to do all your memes and such working towards the
All Star Game. And I took that personally. All you're
doing is superimposing all their faces over Michael Jordan with
his arms stressed, saying, and I took that blank personally
(32:48):
to interact. How about a fresca Mike gets swollen. Don't
trust me. All of the players feel that way. Our

Look at pictures of food your friends eight again call
(00:45):
one eight eight farmers. That's one eight eight farmers. Four
quotes our farmers. So today is the day that well,
we we break down Baker Mayfield seeing a UFO, which
we'll get to that coming up in a few minutes,
because you know clearly that's the story of the day.
And I mean, if anytime you you want to talk
(01:06):
about UFOs somehow, it's like, oh wait a minute, I
hear from people haven't heard from it a long time. Ago.
You know, here's the thing about UFOs, Jason, Oh okay, okay, uh,
but you thought it was crazy, You thought that was
just gonna die. You got up some folks thinking that
we dropped acid before the show too much, sugars man
(01:27):
and making sure and tapping their radios to make sure
that they're on the right affiliate station. Thank you to
all the program directors across this great land four hundred
plus uh that have decided to have Jason and I
entertain and inform you in the evening and early morning hours.
So cheers. You know. You know the funny thing about
affiliate that that ties into that story. You know, here
(01:49):
we are now right over. I think we're at four
hundred twenties some affiliates right now. And it's like, hey, man,
it's where we're at. We're all he's four twenty man. Uh.
When we were first told, yeah, you're gonna be around
two six, and that's just gonna be the way it is.
It's not good or bad, it's just that's gonna be
the way it is. And here we are now at
uh Kirk Crutchmer affiliate director doing a phenomenal job getting
(02:10):
the show on in more places there's only like five
fifteen markets in the country, right, not only, but there's
about five and fifteen markets in the country. And for
us to be on this and we're not, like what,
we're not a show that's on overnight that is cleared
everywhere because everybody you know, takes overnight programming. I'm pretty
pleased with that. And that's one thing I do know, alright,
pretty happy with that. But when I was on all
(02:32):
night on ESPN, right, that's when I was on like
because that was overnight. I was on like five hundred
and and one Affiliates or something like that. It was
insane the amount of number because it was overnight, and
people took the programming. And I remember talking to my
to my bosses once and I'm saying, boy, this has
to be the uh, I mean, who's on more station
said than this show? I mean really right, because of
(02:52):
the way clearance said go you go, No, there's one
show that's on More And I said, there's a show
that's on More. They go yeah, Art Bell Show, which
was a long show about paranormal and UFOs and everything else. Look,
Art Bell had a show on for a long time
and that was what his show was you know it
was up and you know he passed away a couple
of years ago, but it was like, yeah, you know
Art Bell, No, he was. He was some more stations
(03:14):
than anybody, and I was like, oh my goodness, I
can't believe that. And you know that was that was
a situation Art Bell on the show about UFOs and
paranormal that did that was on more stations. How about
that the more you know, unbelievable. Still have Coach to Coast, Yes, yes,
you still have Coast to Coast Now I'm thinking maybe
we could change and we come coast to coast since
(03:35):
clearly you know that that's the story that that most
people want to talk about tonight is Baker Mayfield in
the UFOs and seeing I think that if you've had
a UFO experience, add how about Afraska at Swollen If
you have grainy video or maybe some sketches that you've
done in your art studio were what you saw, I'd
(03:56):
appreciate them. I'm with you on that because I what
I would like to see as people who have seen
UFOs now in the media like kind of like uh,
you know Kyrie Irving saying the world is flat? Okay,
if you think the world is flat, Let's see if
you agree, this is your time, right Let let me
see I kind of feel that way now if you've
seen a UFO, let's see. Let I want people with
check marks and people I want to hear your stories
(04:17):
about UFOs and people see in UFOs. See. If you
did the Caidens differently, you would have been invoking a
sports talk radio legend. I want to talk to you.
If you're an alien, I want to talk alien stuff
with you here on Fox Sports Radio Aliens right to
the top of the rotation, eight seven, seven ninety nine
on Fox. If you're an alien from another planet, you
(04:39):
want to get into talk about the NBA All Star
Weekend right now, eight seven seven ninety nine. I'll tell
you what. You open up those phone lines, they will
be full on a mat about eight eight and a
half seconds, mellow, and I would like to talk about
the Mets bullpen being bad already, Matt, Matt, Matt, I
just know I'd get trolled by aliens. The first th
I want to talk about is a mat. You do
(05:01):
that impression again. I think Zoe's gonna come crashing in
and uh, Terry take you to the floor. You know,
that's another thing. Why why do robots all have to
have robots? Why why do aliens all to have crazy
as voices? Why can't they just have normal voices like
us were, you know, write regular voices, English speaking English, French, Spanish,
whatever it is, speaking just like this. Why do always
have to have really weird voices? I was gonna say
(05:23):
that Ultron was James Spader, but he's really not an alien.
No he's no, he's a robot. They made him, but
they had to get the voice from somewhere. Oh sure
they did. But look, but why do whenever we picture aliens,
we picture aliens with having some kind of crazy voice
that is like through a distorder or a box, and
it's it's always he sounded like he was from New York.
(05:44):
Yeah yeah, but he was actually a real guy in
in the Alphaba mel mag Yeah. I mean, nowadays you
watch a movie and it's always like sinister, but die,
we want you to die? Well, you know, why is
that the case? That's a good qu Can aliens just
be nice? Maybe they have high voices. Maybe you have
(06:06):
a theory at how about a fresca at him all
night long on the highway they will sound like Michelle
Wolf the comedian, really high voices like she does. Uh So,
if you want a couple of hot takes, we have
some hot takes for you. Ready, A little hot take
theater going on with a big story in the NFL
that Ben Roethlisberger is coming back for one last round
(06:27):
up with the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was agreed today he
was gonna take less money based salary down to fourteen
million dollars a year, and he will now play this
season with the Steelers. Look, we we've told you many
different things about Roethlisberger. Is about a thirty percent chance
he holds onto the job. He's at the end of
his run. They have Dwayne Haskins. They will get another
quarterback most likely to be able to succeed him, and
(06:50):
if he doesn't play well, he will lose that job midseason.
So it's not suddenly going to be sunshine, lollipops and
rainbows for him. But just a couple of other things
you want to talk about hot takes with Roethlisberger coming back,
right Number one, Ben Roethlisberger will be the worst quarterback
in the a f C North this year. Or if
you want, if you want to be positive about incide,
he'll be the fourth best quarterback in the a f
(07:12):
C North this year. Hey, why do you got to
be so negative? All right, he'll be the fourth best
quarterback in the a f C North. Lamar Jackson is
already better. Baker Mayfield was better at the end of
the year. This year, the last eight games, he was better.
He'll go in better this year. And Joe Turbo charged. Yeah,
and he's he met aliens. You can you know the
(07:35):
power that they put inside Baker Mayfield's body. Now he's
been throwing the football like ninety yards downfield, He's gonna
look like Patrick Mahomes throwing that football. Now it's got
all that off. Coach put him in the fourth quarter,
they would have one state. Uh so you already have
two quarterbacks that are going to be better than him
and Joe Burrow. You saw how terrific he was before
he got hurt last year. Was a shame he got hurt,
(07:57):
but he comes back healthy. The Bengals are on the
way up, and and they are a team that that's
the only team that's got a leap frog the Steelers.
I mean, you look at the coming off the thirteen
and three season playoff. Yeah, they weren't quite the Steelers
after Week eleven, and Roethlisberger clearly was at the end.
So I can't see how an off season is going
to suddenly make Roethlisberger better when he's gonna lose weapons
(08:20):
and everybody else is just gonna be getting better in
the division. And Joe Burrow, if he's healthy, yeah, he
will clearly be better than Roethlisberger because he was just
as good before he got hurt. So you're talking about
the order of pecking order in the a f C North,
it's gonna be Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and that Joe
Burrow may actually get up to Baker Mayfield this year
because Burrow is that good. And then you're talking about
(08:42):
Ben Roethlisberger being at the bottom of the quarterbacks now
in the a f C North, he'll be the fourth
best quarterback in that division. See, And that's the hard
part is that all four good? Right then's not done? Right? Still?
Thirty three and ten thirty yards, sixty six percent completion right,
go through all of it. And I know it was
not the same squad. And I offer that while the
(09:05):
team as a as a whole was not the same
those final couple of weeks. We talk about injuries. Pouncey
missing a ton of time certainly doesn't help in the
final year of his Hall of Fame career, and I
really thought that together. No exactly, but you have a
full season, full off season to break somebody new in
(09:25):
as opposed to Hey, you, I've taken no snaps from
you all season long. Twelve. Hey, let's go. Uh we
see how that works. Not to mention, you know, just
calling out defenses and everything else. You gotta get a
whole shift that happens there. So I'm not gonna bury Ben.
And that's the hard part is, you know, from the
hot takery of it all, how much separation between two,
(09:47):
three and four is there gonna be. I don't think
it's gonna be vast. I think with Joe Burrow, you've
got the injury concerns, but the bigger thing is can
you find five guys in front of him to protect him.
That's what I'm worried about. In Cincinnati. Man, when that
guy's upright and he's moving and he's working down field
to te Higgins uh and and the other receivers on
that squad. Yeah, there were there was a lot to
(10:09):
like about Joe Burrow, and you know what every other
past attempt was, Oh he just got buried again? Is
he gonnagain? Right? So that's that's the hard part. I
don't I don't know how much they can fix that
problem because that was a big problem. And I think
unlike Russell Wilson and holding onto the football, I don't
think we can pin a lot of the hits on
Joe Burrow. I think as he had a pretty good timer.
(10:33):
Why because he was getting drilled with regularity, so I
think he understood the one one thousand, two, one thousand
go mentality that he needed to have. So I enjoy it.
I enjoyed the the debate because I love the four
guys in this in this quad. But but Ben Roethlisberger,
I think you're selling short. They bring back all those
(10:53):
wide receivers, probably not Juju Smith Schuster, but you know what,
they can find guys in the you know, second day guys,
and they always have to step into a prompt role
of prominence. So I think there's still upside with the
wide receiving corps. Maybe a little more work out of
the tight end position. Eric ebron Um had his highlights,
(11:14):
as you and I know from the fantasy perspective, and
there were a lot of times we were texting each
other's like, how does he not catch that ball? What happened?
So hey, maybe some stick hum? Maybe we send him
some stick hum and said thank you for your support.
Uh So, I I think it'll be better and a
better running game. Yeah, I'm not burying Ben just yet.
The economics of it all don't make sense to me still,
(11:36):
even with the pay cut. But from the your perspective,
I'll take to a B and C and you can
shuffle up and deal. Well, well, that gets into my
next hot take is is I'm looking at the Steelers
finishing last in the North this season, all right, the
bell that's the only team that's got to get past
them because the Ravens are better, the Browns are better,
(11:59):
and so it's just about the Bengals and if Roethlisberger's
if I don't think Roethlisberger is gonna be as good
as Joe Burrow, how many games are they really gonna win?
You know, the Steelers, this is this is one of
those years. Look, I know you're used to the Steelers
every year playing great and and and being over five
hundred and making the playoffs and that and their achievement
of excellence has been unmatched. I mean, it really has
(12:19):
been something, uh the past twenty some odd years. But
you can see this coming for Pittsburgh. Uh, they have
to remake themselves at running back. They're gonna send losing
Juju Smith Schuster. That's losing a big weapon. You know,
They've got guys coming back from injury that you're wondering
are they gonna come back? He talked about missing Markey's pouncy,
our Paruncy retiring, and this is now a team that
(12:41):
is in transition and they don't know what they're going
to be. So if Roethlisberger's if I don't believe Roethlisberg's
gonna play that, well, how are they gonna get ahead
of those teams? All Right? It's really just about them,
just about them fighting with the Bengals to see you
finishes in third place in the a f C North
because the Ravens and the Man they're getting it. They're
moving on Man and the Ravens are gonna get a
(13:03):
big weapon for for Lamar Jackson this offseason. They're gonna
bring in a big wide receiver. That's the only thing
they're missing. The Browns, you saw how good they are
and and with another year of of maturation, I mean,
they know how to win. Baker Mayfield's proven he's the
quarterback for that team. He fits exactly what they do
and now he's gonna be alien supercharged. Uh. Look, the
(13:23):
Bengals are on the way up. I believe when you
have a franchise quarterback, everything is possible and you have
some nice pieces. They're already So I'm telling you, man,
I could see the Steelers finishing last in the a
f C North this season. I like it and I'll
go with you, and they're gonna be better than the Bengals.
But as for the Browns, the Browns, the jury's out.
(13:43):
I need to see three new guys back with Denzel
Award in the secondary, and then we can talk twitter
at how about a fresca Mike gets swollen down the
Jason Smith Show with my bass friend Mike Harmon live

Coming up next, a big story out of college football
(14:05):

asked a question that has never been answered in the
four and a half billion years the Earth has been
around when it comes to you, unidentified flying objects. The
Tysons are gonna keep playing that chicken sound defect the
rest of the night. That's coming up next right here, Fox.
(14:28):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific. Hey, what's up everybody? It's me three time
Pro Bowl Little Warrington and I couldn't be more excited

with Me, LaVar Arrington, t J. Hudgeman's Out of and
Plexico Birds on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast
(15:12):
or wherever you get your podcast from sports radio with
my best friend Mike Harmon special shout out to Alex
Tishirt for finding all kinds of songs having to do
with Aliens tonight, coming off the Baker Mayfield story that
(15:34):
he saw a UFO he was coming home from dinner
last night with his wife. Something bright dropped down over
a lake and took off, And this is where the
story is today. Everybody's saying, now, uh, you want some
tweets on this? So you want something on this? All? Yeah,
(15:56):
we got they mean are they happy? Oh no, no, no,
no no no no, they're they're they're great, They're great.
Here we go. First one. Jason Urgie, talking about the
Baker Mayfield former co worker, was convinced his ankle pain
was an implant from Aliens when he was out of
line with them. He said, they activated the implant to
make him limp. Nice guy, but wow, way out there.
(16:19):
So alien planted something in his ankle to teach him
a lesson. I I can get alongside that. I mean,
that's what we keep talking about there. There are some
conspiracy theorists about other things that we have to do
in the country, as too, implants and tracking and whatever else.
(16:39):
So you know, what's not that far off. Okay, well
well maybe okay, So maybe what you're saying is that
when a player has a recurring injury, he's not really injured.
It's aliens who have bet on the other team giving
these players injuries to keep them out of the game.
Potential is certainly there. Yes, Okay, alright, alright, I'm here there. Okay,
Uh Jason, how do you think the stealth bomber was
(17:02):
created reverse engineering? From UFOs? The stealth was created the eighties? Next,
so we actually us that's how we built a stealth bomber? Well,
I mean, there there might be something to that. So
taking bits and pieces of I mean, you stand on
(17:24):
the shoulders of giants to reach the next level of greatness,
and maybe those giants came from another dimension. Okay, I'm
just you know, I'm just thinking that. You know, if
we actually had a I found a spaceship, many other
things would happen before they say, you know what, let's
just build a stealth bomber out of this. Can we
(17:45):
get something that just flies and doesn't make any noise? Hey,
that's what we're gonna do. I gotta think that there's
other things that would happen. Yeah, you'd like to think. So, uh, Jason,
blow in your mind, Jason. Uh, my favorite things you've
talked about Number one alien segments, Number two Nicks. So
(18:09):
the nix are right under the alien segments. Apparently for tonight.
Stop using your burner account, Jay, I'll put tie shirt.
Oh my goodness. Uh so again just a sample of
some of the things we're getting after the Bakermors. But
but I want I want to know this. I want
(18:30):
to Yeah, it's people are gonna think it's Thanksgiving when
they turn this is not just for Thanksgiving. Damn fine
meat and togetherness, all that stuff can be done any day.
Get no, no no, no, I'm big turkeys. But he keeps
playing the turkey gobble sound effect and trying to pass
it off as an Ani's little Howard Dean. I was
(18:57):
looking for more them. What what was it? The Jim
Harbaugh gobble gobble gob god turkey gobble jive turkey gobble
gobble gobble gobble. No, there there's some questions that listen,
if we're gonna talk about UFOs here, there's some questions
that we have to get to. And you know, there's
many things about UFOs and you know, last hour we
talked about, Hey, why are we always assumed that that
(19:18):
aliens are here to take us over? Right? Why can't
they just be here for vacation? Right? I mean, why
why do always assume all they want to take us over?
And so to that point, I say, why do we
always assume? Remember remember that big speech and kill bill
that David Krdeine gives about uh Superman and and says
that this is this is what Superman a parody of Earth.
That Superman is trying to blend in. So he blends
(19:40):
in and he wears this this he's Clark Kent, who
is very meek and mild and not brave and just
wants to blend in. And that's what he thinks, you know,
the world is like, that's what people are like. It's
this big satire on the world. And I thought, well,
it's pretty interesting. Why do we always think that in
all alien movies aliens are all kinds of powerful and
they're showing up and they're smarter than we are, and
(20:02):
there's so much more advanced than we are. Why can't
we be the most advanced UH planet? And why can't
we be the big bad planet on the block? Why
is it gonna be somebody else. What's funny they know
more than we do. Why can't we show up? Why
can't the Avengers show up on a planet and it's like,
oh wow, this planet needs some work. Oh this is
like a fixer upper planet. Man, I mean we we
this well, we got things going way better on Earth. Well,
(20:23):
why are all the planet? Why is it always Hey,
they're so much more advanced than we are. Why why
can't they just be Hey, I don't know that there's
anything more than protozoa. Okay, yeah, no with this planet. Now,
we don't need this plane. Let's go someplace else. Why
can't we be the big planet? Well, I'll tell you.
I think part of it is human nature. We we
either go one of two ways in our thinking. Right,
we're either the greatest thing in the world. Right. Some
(20:47):
would say that that's the you know, United States way
of looking at everything. We're the best, we're the biggest,
we're the best alls, and we're not really the biggest.
I mean obviously Russia, but you've got all these little
states with there. But when when you get down to it,
they either are thumping your chest and you're looking at
(21:07):
the self grand grandizing kind of way of the world,
or you're saying, well, I'm feeble and weak and I'll
never be good enough, and the ladder, you know, it
comes up, right, I mean it comes up in the
doubts when you're gonna get up in front of a
class and do a presentation, or right before the microphones
go on every night, because I knew you were going
to talk about the Knicks, and I did everything that
(21:28):
I could tod just not start cursing at you, and
I said, Okay, it's a legit story today, we'll let
it go. But it's the that idea of you know,
some of that self deprecating stuff that flies through I mean,
it's part of the weapon weaponry we use here and
many of our colleagues do, and sports media and entertainment
(21:50):
and all of you out there listening wherever you are
and think about it. Yeah, So you go one of
two ways. And when it comes to the potential for
alien life forms there, there's usually the right, let's let's
be go on the side of caution that we're probably
gonna get dominated, so let's figure out and we're just
(22:10):
gonna lose this game. Rights just be cautious. Well, I
mean that's that you go back into a defense, right,
yea huddle like go back to gladiator? What again, do
we gotta stay together? Then they can't get us right,
and and and then one by one they found their
spots and and then they dominated the same thing here.
We need we need to band together like this is
my called action. Everybody banding together solidarity. Let's push the
(22:34):
differences aside and recognize that we need to be ready
and vigilant and working together for the greatness of society
and to vanquish the inevitable arrival of aliens like those
seen by Baker Mayfield and his wife. Dude, that speech,
suck Man, Bill Pullman speech and Independence Day was so
much better. I did it off the cuff man. They
(22:57):
had a writer's room that probably agonized, don't for that.
For two bleep in years, mine was here, talk harmon.
I'm gonna keep beating a sand. What do you do
for a living? You speak for a living. Do you
think I wrote a speech about aliens for tonight? No,
you would write a speech about aliens you felt important
enough to mention it. You should have gone with the whole.
(23:18):
We will not go gentle into that. Good night. It's
been done, and Bill Pullman, Now you got me something
where you have to inspire people. Pullman, not Paxton exactly.
I look, I was inspiring. I gave a call to action.
Now you kind of said, let's be ready. Okay, what
does that mean? Let's be ready, let's be let's get
out there and let's let's let's do a couple more
(23:40):
set ups, do a couple more wind sprints, Let's do
some push ups into break, maybe jump some rope. Maybe
we get out there and we do some grappling where
we can, maybe we each buy our own slam man
that when you learn how to throw a punch or
a flying elbow, all of those things come together. I
didn't need to list them all out, but I did.
So this is where you need to get inspiring. Where
what you just said there. It would have been better
(24:00):
if you had said, do you think the aliens aren't
running extra sprints right now when they want to come
take over? Do you think they're just sitting back doing nothing.
They're running extra sprints. So we're gonna run extra sprints
because the aliens are coming. Now, that's how you get
everybody going that that, Okay, I gotta run extra sprints
now nothing else. If you're trying out for a team,
(24:21):
you'll be ready to try out for that team when
we go back fully to school. See there's you pick
up leagues. I'd be i'd you don't want to be
dropping because you haven't been running. And all of a
sudden you decide, hey, we're clear to go play in
a pickup game, and you, Jason Smith, you pull up
for a thirty five ft three point shot, and all
of a sudden you go down because Cardio ain't been
(24:43):
done that. You gotta prepare, You gotta be ready prepared.
I get, I get all the pilots in the room,
and I go, Captain America. Ain't walking through that door,
all right, Captain Marvel, ain't walking through that door. It's
all you. Captain's here that gotta get out there and
fight the aliens, the incredible and the captain it's me
will start playing. That's what I would do that. That's
a smart captain, fantastic. A little Elton John started playing
(25:05):
in the Captain FAsMA is not coming. Captain Fazim was
so disappointing a character. I'll tell you what. It took
a lot to polish that suit and keep it clean.
We claw with our fingernails for that inch to get
to that spaceship and blow it up. Because tell you what,
if we do this the nexother year, when we do
the sequel with the Baker Mayfield UFO story, I'll have
(25:27):
a better speech prepared. I promise. I blew all my money,
believe it or not to Coach, why are you telling
us this? We're getting ready to fight the ailings. It's
a whole big thing. It's about inches. The inches we
need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in
a game. And I lost all my money. I don't
(25:48):
have any money. I can't even stand the guy I
see in the mirror. You should losing all your money twice, Coach.
It's I'm getting to a point that you need to understand.
We claw with a fingernails for those inches. Because the
aliens don't have fingernails. They got rockets coming out of
their fingers. We're all gonna die, but it doesn't matter,
(26:11):
because you're gonna claw to get that much closer until
Tom Cruise can relive the day over and over and
over again, until he figures it out with Emily Blunt
and they can get rid of all the aliens that
are attacking us. That's the kind of speech I would give.
That's pretty good, Like yeah, like that even got Edge
of Tomorrow and that's pretty nice right there. Well, that's
(26:32):
a big reach. I have to explain Edge Tomorrow. Everybody
twitter and out about a Fresca. Mike gets swollen done
the Jason Smith Show and Mike Carmon. I really at
this point, I want someone to have an an alien
uflo story every night. I want someone to have one
every single night, you kidd every night, and you know,
and lastly, you know, right before you get to what's trending?
(26:55):
How come we never get aliens ships over a big
city in all the year is the earth has been around?
How come in big cities? No? No, the aliens are
always over a lake somewhere or somewhere out in the
middle of nowhere. How come not once we've gotten them
over a big city, not aliens over there? Look at
that big ship over New York, Well in the movies,
it's there. How come they not? Wonder No, we've never
had one over Miami. We've never had one over Seattle. Like,
(27:17):
oh my good we oh we almost bumped into the
space needle. That is a pretty eye building. We just
kind of got it the last second. Remember that story.
Why have we not seen that? Well, why is it
always in the middle of no Now, we've never seen
anything over a big city. Why not? Well, in recent
years it's Tony Stark's fault because they saw that and said, well,
he was gonna build stuff over the cities, so we'd
(27:38):
run into, you know, this invisible force field, which would
be bad. Otherwise. Maybe they're deep sea fishers. I don't know.
Maybe it's kind of like the Legion of Doom used
to be in the old Super Friends, where they're actually
located in the swamp and they come out every once
in a while. You're going with the old suit of
armor around the world. That around the world. That is right, okay?
(28:01):
And I needed you, Cap past tense, Okay, needed you. Okay,
I said we would lose. You said we'll do that
together too. Well, guess what, Cap, we lost and you
weren't there. Be sure to catch live editions of The

song recorded by Baker Mayfield after seeing a UFO last night.
Big Hit gonna be uh gonna replace Agatha all along
(28:46):
as the number one song on UH. So as we
get set for many things right Coming to America two
is already being watched. They released it a day early.
One division is set to hit the West Coast in
an hour. It's already on in the East coast. We
have a lot of things coming up uh NBA All
Star weekend and tonight Team Lebron and Team Durant were drafted,
(29:09):
and you know, looking at the rosters and how things
are going so far, you look not like the All
Star Game is something that you know, we we we
care so much about the outcome. But wow, Lebron is
a much better drafter than Kevin Durant is. Okay, Uh
Lebron of course starting his team with himself. Kevin Durant
is injured, so we can't make this game. So his
(29:29):
first pick is Kyrie Irving, which, hey, that's awesome, right,
I'm picking my guy. This is what I'm doing. This
is gonna be great. Yeah, okay, so I got Kyrie Irving.
Lebron's first pick is your honest. So now it's Lebron
and you honest. Uh. Durank gets Joel Embiid, which is great,
and then Lebron winds up with Steph Curry. So the one.
I don't know what what Durant was really doing in
(29:50):
the in the in the in the draft when he
was drafting his his his team. But man, I'll tell
you what. Even though the the the reserves are about even,
Lebron's team is Lebron, Janice Curry, Luca Dons, and Nicola Yokich.
All right, this is a team that can easily play
with each other and and and use each other's skills.
Durance team is Kyrie and Bead Kauai, Bradley Beale and
(30:15):
Jayson Tatum. I expect this this five some to be
outscored by like fifty uh for when Lebron's team is
on the court in the All Star Game. It could be.
I thought it was interesting the explanation as to why
guys went last for the Jazz and burying the lead quote.
I just want to say something because there's no slander
to the Utah Jazz. But you guys gotta understand, just
(30:39):
like in video games growing up, we never played with Utah.
Even as great as Malone and Stockton were, we would
never have picked those guys never. I think it's a
big slight to John Stockton and saying that he was
an undervalued and underutilized player in the video game world.
I think there's there's a bigger message being sent there.
Lebron stepped in it right. There is no slander, no
(31:04):
no disrespect. Now it's no slander. This is part of
the jazz narrative. They don't Last night it was Donovan
Mitchell and Rudy Gobert don't get the calls the other
teams get, and clearly they had a case. Today you're
seeing the bias against them. They're the last two picks
in the All Star draft, and make no mistake, they
hate this. They're embarrassed by this. Right even though you
(31:24):
can you can look at it from the well, they're
all all stars. What does it matter? Uh, you know,
it's like the off because people are talking them up
as a contender. NBA players are nothing if not so
concerned with where their status is and who they think
is better than them and who they are better than.
(31:45):
They care about that more than anybody else. Right. NFL
quarterbacks don't care when people say, oh, I think Aaron
Rodgers is better than Tom Brady. Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady,
you don't care when something like that happens. But NBA
players care deeply when that's a big narrative. All and
beat is a much better layer this year than Luka
don Sa Shore or Nicola Yokich. Oh boit? What are
you saying that? And everybody looks at where they got
(32:05):
drafted for the All Star Game, and so many people
are upset. How does so and so go ahead of me?
How does Zach Lavine go ahead of me? How do
the jazz players go last? It's embarrassing. It looks like
us getting picked for dodgeball or for anything else. You
don't want to get picked last. They don't want to
get picked last for the All Star Game. Everybody gets
picked late hates it. And I guarantee you both jazz
(32:27):
players are extremely upset about it. You know, What's great, though,
is that you're able to um use just one photo
to do all your memes and such working towards the
All Star Game. And I took that personally. All you're
doing is superimposing all their faces over Michael Jordan with
his arms stressed, saying, and I took that blank personally
(32:48):
to interact. How about a fresca Mike gets swollen. Don't
trust me. All of the players feel that way. Our
