Greetings, welcome inside. Happy one week anniversary of the Grimace
era in all of sports. Congratulations sports up until June twelfth,
twenty twenty four sports after June twelfth, twenty twenty four era.
So what did you eat to come up against the
week anniversary? Now? Now here? Hey, what's the actual thing?
(00:51):
Are you're gonna make a grid? Like we told you?
We want to know with marriages. I told you McDonald's
every day as long as I met right, but going
today today was a light day. Today was a mocha today.
It was just a mooka when I went that. Yeah, yeah,
I just I just I just do I not believe you?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Not even a basic cheeseburger or fry, or a piping
hot apple pie to sear the roof of your mouth.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Never eating the apple pie. No, no, no, I didn't know
they make the apple pie anymore. I don't think they
miss No. No, you just ordered the cookies, so it
doesn't matter. It was. It was a big mac and
fries at like six thirty, so like to go out.
We were out today. I'm like, yeah, let's just get
a drink. I'll just get a drink. I'll keep the
streak going, keep the streak a lot, Keep yourself live,
keep yourself live.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Hey, did you see their news? One point twenty seven
billion for the rights to their music?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
YOUO like the fact that you think he eats the
apple pie?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Oh oh, well, you know what, okay, got it? Keep
it in a good frame of mind. It's a positivity Wednesday. Yes,
I'm trying to keep my mentals in check and that
was not gonna help. So eating burning in the roof
of his mouth. Funny other stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Thank you Stiffler for the obvious joke on the apple pie.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Thanks So, how many seconds is your microwave set for?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
No? No, no, no, no, no, dude, there's no way.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Man, She's got a popcorn apple pie.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
No, I think a McDonald's. Just they just put the
apple pie. And when they would give it to you?
And how long microwave for it? Says fifteen seconds? What
two minutes and fifteen seconds? Got it? Okay, great, there
we go. That's what we'll do. I hit the lava button.
Yeah it was tough. It was tough, but here we are, man,
Grimace era. And look, those of you who embraced the
Grimace era. Grimace is for everyone. Having this conversation with
Tycher before we started the show, the Grimace era is
(02:37):
for everyone. If you embrace it, Grimace will love you back.
Look at last night Frostburg, who you think would be
the first guy to say all you have is Grimace?
The Mets steak Grimace? He's what did he say in
the air last night? Hey man, the Mets may never
lose again. This Grimace era is something. And what happens?
Doctor scored seven runs in the ninth inning to win
a game. He embraces the Grimace era. Your skeptical of
(02:58):
the Grimace era and the White Sox need to lose.
But last night you finally see you say something nice
about the Grimace era and the White socks win. I
have not mocked fixed the rocket science man. No, I don't.
The Grimace era.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Nice effort by Jonathan Cannon, the rookie that they're trying
to figure out if they actually have a player. You
know that they're not paying any money to that could
at one point be good for somebody else.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
But the idea of.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
The Grimace era, you know, a lot, a lot has
been made, you know, and karma gets thrown out there
and all that. Like you're looking for positivity. That's all
Mets fans are ready to abandon the season. You were
ready to abort the season. You talked about it openly
on air. You're like, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta wait till training camp. I think you were
gonna start just calling in sick every night because psychologically
(03:43):
you just couldn't handle the way the Mets were playing.
And then lo and behold, the Grimace Era begins. It's fun,
it's entertaining. We talk about superstitions, we talk about finding
your lucky socks, your whatever, you know, whatever piece of
equipment gets you in between the white line of the
office that you go to every day. And I'm talking
to you America that whatever that is, if it's a
(04:06):
giant cup of coffee, you're gonna keep doing it because
it helps you get those small wins along the way.
For the Mets, they found a week of lightning in
a bottle. I had to I mean, look, I had
to get something today. I'm like, okay, it didn't it
didn't say.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You know, when I said McDonald's every day until the
Mets lose, it didn't have to be well, you have
to get a full meal. Was just have to get
something so you know, get the getting the drink is.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, well, because the other thing is, you know, people
are texting me, go wow, everybody on the network's talking
about Jason Smith his health and the McDonald's or whatever.
The reference supersized me and I'm like, remember the man
was a raging, chronic alcoholic. At the same time, Okay,
that has come out. It wasn't just McDonald I' about
saying eating a lot of McDonald's for thirty days is
(04:47):
going to do a lot for you.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
But the reality was he had some other factors that
had to be considered in this process in terms of
what happened to his organs. The Jason Smith Show with
Mikey Carver live from the Tirack dot Com studios Direct
dot Com. I'll help you get there. An unmatched election, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended in stallars diirect dot Com is the way tire
(05:11):
buying should be. So while the Mets continue to try
to keep their win streak alive, tied three to three
with the Rangers in the seventh of the Grimace Era. Uh,
the biggest story in sports and there's a big shoe
to drop you. I'm gonna give you a big Bowl
prediction in a minute. Manny Williams got fired as head
coach at Detroit Pistons today And it wasn't surprising because
what did what did they lose fifty seven games in
(05:34):
a row this year? What was that horrible? Terrible, really
really bad?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't. Uh, it wasn't.
It wasn't good. First things first is this, and this
is this. I really have a tough time coming around
to this. Detroit eight sixty five million dollars to get
rid of Manti Williams, right, they owe him sixty five
million dollars. Danny Hurley was offered seventy million. I know,
(06:02):
I know, Hey, Danny, how about we just pay you
what we're going to pay money to get rid of them.
They're absorbing all sixty five million dollars right. This was
a six year, seventy eight million dollar contract. When he
got fired by the Suns. Was Coach of the Year
with the Phoenix Suns, and here he is in Detroit.
It didn't work out. And I know that that that
teams are worth in the in the billions of dollars now,
(06:24):
and even when the lowest of the market teams, if
they were sold, would would go for in the high
hundreds of millions and close to a billion dollars. But man,
and I know the owners are making money, and I
know they sit here and we don't get a fair
representation of the moneies that they make on sports because
they wouldn't be doing it if they didn't make money.
But I really, I mean all of that. Knowing all
(06:45):
of that, knowing all of that, I have a hard
time believing the Pistons have sixty five million dollars to
just throw away. I have a hard time believing they
have that kind of money. And you know, anybody said,
but I have the Pistons. They've been the worst Dad.
They've been the last four years as well. What's the
record been, Have you won one hundred games in the
last four years? And and and they they have. They
(07:05):
have sixty five million dollars. They could eat really like that,
Like that should have precluded them from getting a new
coach for the next four years. Oh, bunny.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
The sole owner of the Pistons is Tom Gores born
Tuffique Gorgias.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He's net worth a six billion. He has sixty five
million to just burn. You're sure about that. He can
do the entire he can do the entire Joker thing
from Dark Knight, because I think if he could do Burn.
I think if he could do that, he would have
gotten better free agents to go along with k Key.
But you can do so much under the salary cap structure,
(07:42):
Well do it. He can't pay anymore beyond wow.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I mean, look, we can all nod and wink and
wonder what other enticements are there beyond your actual NBA contract.
But to this point there hasn't been a giant scandal
related to Hey, this guy got a couple of houses
in the hills in addition to his three hundred million
dollars deal. I don't know that that's you know, never happened.
(08:04):
But at this point I would have thought Woes or
one of these guys would have done a deep dive.
Windhorse would have been pointing at you and trying to
be a hot take artist and whatever else, and then
Shams would have just been sitting there with a smirk
out of his face the whole time. Like all of
that to say, if he could just pay anybody anything,
then sure, But right now, I mean you vacation in Detroit.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I don't want to disparage the good city.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I'm just saying, if you got choices as a free agent,
is that where you're going up is the legacy of
the microwave that strong for you.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Now, it's funny you say that. It's funny you say
that because I'm gonna go really bold here. I'm gonna
go really bold and go opposite of what has been
widely assumed and somewhat reported. The Lakers need a head coach, right,
Lakers and Cavaliers need a head coach. It looks like
(08:58):
the Cavaliers moving towards James Barrego. The Lakers after swinging
and missing or I don't know, they swung and miss
I think they took a fastball down the middle on
Danny Hurley. It was JJ Reddick, right, if he's will.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
There smith that bat the other night or last night
where he was trying to call time and.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I'm stepping out and it's gonna go right down the middle,
I'm not gonna swing after having that happen, all right,
JJ Reddick was the guy. There was nobody else. Reddick
was there. Yes, I understand, we're knocking announced anything till
after the finals are over, and ESPN wants him to
work there, and I understand, and these stories the last
couple of days that JJ Reddick is it's it's all
but done, and Reddick has been kind of unofficially hired already.
(09:38):
That doesn't make sense, that doesn't pass the smell test.
And for a team that could have done this now
the last if JJ Redick was a done deal, you
get him right because you need you need a head coach.
And if Reddick is your guy, the day after the
NBA Finals, you say, hey, guess what, Reddick's our guy.
Reddick is a right We don't want to risk losing
him to Cleveland or somebody else or something. You don't
want to risk that Reddick's your guy. Why would you
(10:00):
need to hire him in secret? Why would you to
do it. I know you want to try to to
try to put a coaching staff together that really builds
him up. But he's the head coach, right, you don't
want to lose him, and they haven't. I would go
I'm gonna go bold here, I'm gonna go bold here
and say this is what the Lakers were waiting on
that Reddick, what Reddick was their guy unless Monty Williams
(10:21):
came free. Because Monty Williams is a really good coach.
R It did work out in Detroit. Detroit's terrible, but
he was Coach of the Year with the Phoenix Suns.
This is a guy that's sounded. This is a guy
that has the basketball cachet that everybody will buy into.
He's gonna get the Lakers to play hard. Doesn't matter
what happened in Detroit. Detroit is Oh, look, Detroit's barely
on the on the radar screen for the NBA. But
there's no reason why they would drag their feet on
(10:42):
JJ Reddick unless there was another guy out there. They
were waiting for now, there could be a huge mystery
candidate we don't know about, like, hey, maybe Greg Popovich.
In three days, are gonna say, Hey, I'm out, I'm done.
I hate this webby guy. He's getting all the credit. Man,
I want to go to the Lakers now unless something
like crazy like that happens. But I wonder, and I'm
sitting here try to put the connect the dots that
this is what they were waiting for. And there's gonna
(11:04):
be quick interviews with Monty Williams. They gotta figure out
the money and money he's owed and everything else. But
this is the guy they were waiting for. Hey, if
we can get Monty, that would change things. We like JJ,
but boy, Monty would really be something. And I'm gonna
go bold that you're gonna see his name connected with
the Lakers in the next twenty four hours. They're gonna
interview him, and when it happens, it's gonna wind up
(11:24):
being Monty Williams.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I'd have to figure out what date it was. But
we did actually have a report a few weeks ago,
and you and I broached the topic of Williams to
the Lakers briefly because there was a report lingering as
the regular season faded into the rear view that Williams
and his staff were gonna get let go. So it
becomes the eyebrow raising of all right, now what do
(11:47):
we got and here we are today they decide to
just eat all that money. Now I about money, Williams.
Part of me is going how much do I love coaching?
How much do I like my thirteen million dollars a year?
Because I mean, you start getting into offsets and whatever
the legal wranglings are in terms of what you get
paid if you take another gig. But for me, yeah,
(12:09):
I mean you've got a guy with a track record,
a guy that has a history with players other personnel
in the league and has been one of the most
sought after as related to the amount of money that
the Pistons paid him to come there. Right, I mean,
he was a guy a couple of years ago. It's like,
all right, will he be the Lakers coach?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
This time?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Wasn't in that cycle? This time the opportunity knocks and
again it's gonna be the what is Lebron and ad
too want? Right, it's the short and long term. If
you're the Lakers, I think you want to fix short term.
Long term's got.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
To figure out. It figure itself out over time. Right,
as much as you'd like to have both work together,
and that was part of the hurly big push and
dalliance there, but for now you've got to do whatever
you can to maximize the lebron era, assuming right after
he opts out and gets his new contract, that it's
(13:04):
actually a contract that he signs with the Lakers. Right,
did anybody find him at that Kendrick Lamar concert to
find out? For sure? I don't clean anything out of that. Look,
I know that there's been a big push, and it's
gotta be done right, because if the Lakers are really
going to do this, they can't. If they're gonna go
(13:25):
in for Monnie Williams and not get they're gonna lose
JJ Reddick. Reddick's not gonna be the third guy always. Okay,
you wanted Danny early, all right, I got he's got
a great resume. I understand. Okay, but now you're talking me, Oh,
now you're waiting for Minnie Williams. So it reports earlier
today that maybe Monny Williams, you know, is he gonna
be even be a Lakers candidate that's up in the air.
It's gotta be done. It's got to be done in
(13:46):
one fell. So either they know they're gonna get Monny
Williams and he's the guy, or it's gonna be a
quick pivot to JJ Redick because you can't have him
go now. I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait. Only you
can only ask somebody so many people to the dance
and then say no before the your third or fourth
choice is gonna say no. Beat it. So it's gonna
it's gotta be done. It's got to be a really
(14:07):
fine line. It's got to be done under the radar,
and it's gotta happen fast. But watch out, I'm I'm
telling you MANI. Why else are they dragging their their
feet on JJ Redick? Well, I mean they might have
been just trying to go with the unwritten rules and
protect the sanctity of the NBA and let it sit
in Rumerville. Unfortunately, at times it overshadowed what was a
(14:28):
really bad final series. However, as we look at it now,
right you're on the clock, the draft is coming up,
your off season is shrinking by the day like sands
in the hour glass. Uh and and you gotta move forward. Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
For for Reddick, you know, he's a guy sitting there
and and he'll probably you know, after this, other teams
will probably take a look at him. But if you
could walk right in and say, hey, how's the coach
of the Lakers, even if it's for two years, you
get a pile of cash and guess what. TV's always waiting.
It's like I always preached for years before all this
(15:02):
nil stuff. In the change in college, Jason, the colleges
aren't closing. If anything, it's easier. You don't have to
wear pants. You could get a degree from the comfort
of your own home anymore. So same thing, there's always
going to be a television job waiting for you.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Exit. How about a Fresca exit? Swollen down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. We are
live from the tiraq dot Com studios. We'll have more
on this story as it develops. More on the Grimace era.
The Mets now trailing by two in the seventh inning,
so they oh, they could be on their way to
the first loss of the Grimace era. It could happen.
(15:39):
I do want to It's not going to be perfect
the Grimace era, it just got to be close to perfect.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Well, it's over. If they don't win nothing, it's completely over.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
The era is toppled.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
We'll see these statues of Grimace's toppled than a fiddler
in the streets.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
One win, it's over.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
It's it's over, Johnny, it is over. We got more
basketball on the way. How about this right? How about

(17:22):
in a minute, Mike and I are going to give
you our picks for next year. Who's going to the
NBA Finals next year? But hey, Cleveland needs a head
coach first. Let him get a head coach. Ded. We
can see if they go to the finals. But you
know it comes down to this, Mike, when when you
when you look at hiring your next head coach. Right,
all the many Williams fired today and the Piston decide
(17:42):
they're gonna eat sixty eight million dollars rather than be
their coach. You know, you see a guy go from Hey,
he's a coach of the Year like he was with
the Phoenix Suns and they were great in the regular season.
They racked up wins and it was fantastic. And one
year suddenly, well, how how great a coach can he
be because he goes with the p and they have
one of the worst regular seasons of the last twenty
(18:03):
five years in the NBA. Yeah, obviously it's about the
talent on the team, but you want to think that
a coach can make a difference and at least bring
some sort of style or philosophy. And I'll be honest
with you now where things are in the NBA, And
this is why Monti Williams is a great hire where
things are in the NBA. And you saw it with
the Celtics winning the title the other night, that you
(18:23):
can win with an offensive system that is pretty much
just hey, guys can all hit threes, and we rely
on our players to make the ISO plays they need to.
We make plays in transition. It's okay, right, the Celtics
have shown you that without this great offensive system, just hey,
our guys go out and kind of do their own thing. Hey,
it works, right, And that's a strategy. And then people
want to dismiss it, but you see that works. The
(18:46):
biggest thing is the number one thing. The only thing
I would look at if I needed a head coach
in the NBA is I would say is this guy?
Is he good for the company? I would say, is
this guy going to get the team to play defense?
Because that's the only sure fireway to improve and the
only thing that you can really control. Because offensively, you've
seen different different ways it works talent out there, but
(19:08):
if you can get the team to play well defensively,
you're worth it. Right, and look at the coaches that
have won. Right, Missoula is a really good defensive coach. Right,
Boss is a really good defensive team. Look how far
the Timberwolves came on defense. Right, the Knicks with Thibodeaux,
who is defensive specialists, Look at where they've come in
the last four years. And Monti Williams is a great
defensive coach. He took the Suns, who I think we're
(19:28):
giving up two hundred points a game before he showed up,
and they went from like one of the worst in
the league to middle of the pack, you know, top
third of the league. So you know he's gonna get
the buy in and the only sure fireway you can
improve from year to year. Look, yes, you can rely
on the and you can hope the draft works out,
you can hope free agency works out. But one thing
that'll work out if you can play defense. If the
(19:49):
coach can come in and get everybody to buy in
just to play defense, that guy is worth it. No
matter what else happened. Offense can be what it is.
Everything else can be whatever it is. But if the
guys can all buy and play defense, you see what
happens to teams and they magically transform. And Manti Williams
is that guy. Well, let me quote Joe Missoula as
I don't know if this is appropriate, but it's fun.
(20:10):
Quote anyway, Batman goes into the interrogation room with the
Joker and it was the coolest moment of like good
and evil have to coexist, differences have to coexist in
order to bring the best out of each other and
the people around you. Relate it back to defense. Yeah,
you don't want.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
To play defense for forty eight minutes and a lot
of guys go through a game and it's selective, right,
I mean, I think that would be the fair way
to talk about Luca. That would be the fair way
to talk about where Lebron is in his career Steph
Curry in terms of aptitude effort on that side, when
you're given so much on the offensive end, right, it's
(20:49):
hard to do both consistently and do them well in
this NBA, which is much more wide open, running around
three point shots, free flowing offenses, as opposed to all right,
we're gonna slow it down, get it into you, ink
back to the basket. Shot clock down to ten. All right,
now we start moving again. You just got fifteen seconds
of rest, you know that kind of thing. So it's
(21:12):
the ability to do now. I'd rather they hire JJ
Reddick because I think that'll be far more entertaining for
us in terms of the flow, the podcast that they'll
have to keep doing at this point, and watching people
in our associated media lose their minds.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
But I think you hit it on the head, right.
There's two things I need.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I need a guy that can get a bucket, and
I need people at the rim or with some tenacity
on the perimeter that can stop the bucket. Right, it's
the old NFL thing. I need a quarterback that can
make a play, and I need a guy rushing off
the edge that can get me to their quarterback. Right,
it's NBA same thing, and a lot of it becomes
(21:54):
about philosophy and buying.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And with Monni.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Williams, you remember as much as you can get, and
we talk about coaches. Look how many coaches get cycled out.
You got Kerr, you got Spolstra and Popovich everybody else.
It's like going back, let's roll the dice and see
what the next thing is to pop up. Are you
in line for a contract? Who did we get assigned
to us? All right, let's go and you do your
best with it, because there ain't a lot of longevity
(22:18):
in this league. So in the end you need players.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Now. I certainly remember a certain Fox Sports radio host
who really tried to make Detroit happen. I know, I
know a couple of years ago, I thought Kay Cunningham
was gonna be the guy. I know he's still gonna
get paid, So it doesn't matter. No, no, no, no,
no no, there's a big difference. Lots of guys can
get paid. It's paid. We're talking about his performance, all right,
(22:46):
we have to talk about his performance being on the court,
being available and actually producing I really did, And instead
they just went the other way. They said, Ah, you
think we're gonna be good? What just be actually do?
Because if it just came down dude, I know we're
gonna do it. No, if it just came down to
which guy is gonna get a check, I mean that
that game's no fun because everybody's getting paid all the
way down to the twelfth Man, it's all just a
(23:07):
matter of how many zeros are there.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
You sided Batman, right, I did?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh no, No, Johnny.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Bush should just break a pul q in like five pieces.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
No, I think that's five guys in the room gamble
and that's it room for aggressive expansion. I like that Frostburg,
let's go.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I mean, Monty Williams is old, but he looks crappy.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Oh I think he could get after it. He's wiring,
but like he's got to know he's got reach too.
Though he's got to reach. I would never be able
to get inside money. I'd be like Tyson trying to
fight Buster Douglas, like trying to get in, but the head,
those long arms is pushing Tyson off, pushing Tyson, and
there's no rules.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
So J. J. Reddick's gonna lose because somebody will touch
his hair or face.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Hey, that's why he's got to have a no touching
of the hair face like Ron Burgundy. That's one point.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Well, no, you're going for a coaching job, that's something
you got to give up.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
But everything you know that open. No. But if they're
all going in the ring together, you have that one
point where he says, now you have to get the
rules right, no touching of the hair. Remember the rest
of us that that don't get this job or going
back into the media. So no touching of the hair fait.
Everybody will say, of course, of course, of course. Uh
(24:19):
so I'm telling you that's the only thing I care
about is playing defense. That's all I.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Care Speaking of defense, and the Grimace era could be
coming to a real quick here.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
We'll get to that with Monci coming up in a
couple of minutes. Yes, the Mets look like they're about
to suffer the first loss of the Grimace.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
What are you gonna do, buddy, We'll do well.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The next three and a half hours will be in
retrospect on the week of the Grimace Era.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Well, it's over if they lose.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
It's not though, No, just stop. What we have to
do is wait and see if McDonald's cuts bait, and
after the game is over all the Mets loss, go
back to Ronald, put the archers back on the Twitter
account the lost.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
They're gonna act like this never happened.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Grimace and his Mets hat, get it off of social media.
We don't need that right now, Get it off, Get
it off, Get it off. That's gonna be. That's gonna
be what you see. Okay, the Grimace era is really over. See.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I'll just be mad because anybody that tried to deny
the Grimace era will immediately start taking their victory lapse.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And I just can't have that. I mean, you can't
be a fun hater like that professionally. Come on, so, yes,
it is now official. The New York Mets have suffered
the first loss of the Grimace era. Will remember you
Rangers win it by the final of five to three.
And let me go and make sure that McDonald still
has Hang on, I'm gonna check, make sure they still
(25:33):
have us as the Mets. And it's still there. Yes,
it's still there, Grimace where the Mets hat pulling a
wagon with the Mets logo. It is still McDonald's logo.
It is still the Grimace era. Grimace era is still going. Well,
don't have to worry about a sad day though. Wait,
let me hit refresh. It's gone. No, I'm kidding, it's
still then. No. No, look, if they were that on
(25:55):
top of it now, that would be extra special sauce.
Right the minute that game, you go back to Ronald
McDonald and get the purple guy in the Mets at
off you just do it? Okay, how did we not
get to deal with the Yankees? What don't we do?
All Right, So Mike and I have talked about this,
(26:15):
and it's time now as we get ready for the year,
we say goodbye to the Celtics. Their parade is coming up.
They win the NBA title, Uh, basically kind of a
wired to wire thing. They were the best team all
season long, they were never really threatened in the playoffs,
and they put an exclamation point on the season. Who's
going to the NBA Finals next year? Well, I'm gonna
give you two teams that not only are really good now,
(26:39):
but I look at what's the likelihood they're going to
be able to upgrade in the offseason, Because you can't
if you're the same team. You're standing still, you're gonna
get passed, right, you need something. You'd be able to
be bold and make moves. Gotta be able to go
get Chris tops porzingis. If you're the Celtics, you gotta
be able to upgrade where you are right now, because
if you didn't win the title, you're not good enough.
And I'll give you two teams, And the first number
(27:00):
to give you is Oklahoma City, right like I would
love to give you a big I'd love to say Denver,
I'd love to, but Oklahoma City is already a terrific team.
They're one of the youngest teams in the NBA, and
they have all kinds of money and first round picks
to deal with where they can go get the missing pieces.
They can go get a big if they need. Right,
I'm hearing a lot of Hey, the Nicks could lose
(27:21):
Hertenstein to the to the Thunder. They could give them
a lot of money. When you're that good, you're that young,
and you have money and first round picks, I know
they're gonna get better in the offseason. So you know
it's a loaded Western conference, But right now, give me
the Thunder. To go to the NBA Finals next year.
Look at you run in with a squad that's about
ten to one. I'll say, after being challenged in great
(27:44):
adversity that they were humbled a bit. The Minnesota Timberwolves
run it back and finish the job to get to
the NBA Finals. They are currently sitting at nine to one.
I think Anthony.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Edwards needed to go through you know, the try By fire.
You've got the defensive stalwarts there. The Western Conference is
gonna be a pain in the ass because these other
teams are getting better.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Right. Memphis is gonna get healthy, uh and get back
into it. We'll see what New Orleans does with Brandon
Ingram and company. Sacramento was good in spurts uh, So
we'll see what they are and then the young and
plucky Houston Rockets will have something to say. Look, Wenby's
still time off. If he couldn't get an extra win
in his rookie year, I don't know what they're doing
in the offseason to suddenly give them any juice. But
(28:28):
give me Minnesota out of the West in the East,
you're not gonna like it. You're not gonna like it alls.
But they are positioned as good as they are now
to get even better in the offseason because they are
armed with a with a with a contract they pissed
to show. They have draft picks to dangle for more depth.
(28:49):
They don't need a star, they just need to get
a tiny bit deeper. And I'm telling you would have
happened this year, but they got hurt all the way through.
And I'm telling you the Knicks are going to the
finals next year. Give me the Knicks and the thunder.
Look whether if Julie the Knicks evolved into a team
where they were nova Nicks led right, So, now, where
does Julius Randall fit coming back after you saw this
(29:12):
huge run? Now, great, you get a talented player like
that coming back. Is he going to fit with the offense?
Is he gonna fit with what they do? Because clearly
it's Brunson, it's heart, and it's Stevencenzo and then you
have the support players. Now, maybe he fits, but if not,
he is a huge chip that you can trade who's
a good player that makes money that you're gonna be
able to go get if hey, if Minnesota wants to
(29:32):
get rid of Karl Anthony Towns, okay, or if you
need to go get a couple of depth pieces because
now you've seen that, all right, we've seen that we
have a really good three that we like, led by
Brunson and the other two Nova Knicks. Hey, maybe we
just need to go get a couple of depth pieces
now so when injuries start happening, we can play more
than four guys at a time. So the fact that
the Knicks have that and they have Randall's contract and
(29:54):
they have the Sicks they can dangle. Yeah, they can
really get better. Things are going well for them. They
become a destination. Give me Nix and the Thunder in
the NBA finals next year. If that happens, I'm cheering
for Chatton, Hart and Stein. Former Nick does great. Okay,
he's not He's not a thunder yet. He's not a thunder.
You to stop putting them there, jerk.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
You did in your analysis of what they're gonna do
and what that's how you were trying to say they.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
What you man, embrace the fun of the grimace erra man,
come on, dude.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Right fifteen to one right now for you. When I
was wandering around like, ah, the Sixers might do.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Something that'll be interesting, but they still have to to
roll through plus eighteen hundred. We look at the Bucks,
they're ten to one. That's Doc Rivers. I'm not too avance,
so I.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
End up going back to the chalk. I say to
beat the man. You gotta beat the man. The Celtics
are there again. Exit Out about a Fresca exit swollen domes.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I like that show with Mike Carbon. Hey, look right now,
I am completely down for a Nick Celtics Eastern Conference final.
That looks good dah. Now the Pacers at forty to
one are moderately interesting. Maybe arrived a year too soon.
I think. I think forty to one was the odds
that NEM Parts three was gonna go, and it actually went. Hey,
that's future Canadian Olympia nemhr chure. Exit Out about a
(31:13):
Fresco exit swalling down. The Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Carbon coming up next. What has become
a crazy story has evolved into now one that's kind
of cringe worthy when you think about it, and it
involves one of the best coaches the NFL has ever seen.
That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
I hate you Smith.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
You know all I did was tell you the truth.
We're gonna get to We're gonna get to a big
NFL story in a second. What did you do? Now?
What happens? Let me tell you what happens when you
want to make fun of the Grimace era.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
You put that evil on me.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
This Oh no, so whaila. While while we were in
a break, Frostburg's talking to me, going, oh, your Grimace
era is over, man, it's over. I go, it's fine.
He's still up there on the on the Twitter page.
McDonald's no, it's over. They had to win. It's done.
It's over. The Grimace Era is over. And as I'm watching,
the Dodgers have two on and one out in the
(32:16):
seventh inning against the Rockies, and uh, he's it's over.
I said, you embraced the Grimace era last night, man,
Remember you were saying how great it was, and the
Dodgers scored seven runs in the ninth. If you go
against the Grimace Era, things are gonna go bad for you.
It's what's gonna happen. And and and as soon as
I said that, Hey, centerfielder makes a dive and catch
on a place said you see that right there? And
(32:37):
Frostbick said, are you kidding? Otani's coming up with two
on and two out like he's gonna get out. I go,
you just thumbed your nose with the Grimace era. Otani's
gonna strike out looking, And you know what just happened. Show, Hey,
Otani struck out looking to end the time. This is war,
my runs. I told you you do not got you.
You you deal and and and mess with the Grimma
(33:00):
era of your your own pays and your own speed
man like you don't do that. You want to throw
cauch to win. Look what happens. Look how bad it
was already. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
The Grimace era is over. You don't have to put
the evil on other people.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
It's not over. You're the one that I did not
prompt you by saying, oh, the Grimace No, you just said,
oh it's over, it's over. It's over. You embraced it
last night you scored seven.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
And we have to take out your Dodger voodoo doll
and start stabbing it.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, no, no, to stab a dodger vood in this situation.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I quote the late great lou reid off the album
New York and the song straw Man. Just remember spitting
in the wind comes back at you twice as hard
yep telling you straw Man going straight to the devil.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So be careful. You want, you want to play with
the Grimace era, you do that at your own at
your own risk. And look what happened to you, Frostburg.
I just listen. There's still time you can repent, because
it's only the eighth inning. If you want to re
embrace the Grimace era. The Dodgers can still win this game.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Well we killed them off. So how you play on?
Bringing that up?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
You you did? Man said you may ever win another game.
Dodgers may go. You may you may go over the
rest of the season. That might be. Well. I mean
he had a good run. It's still a run. The
Grimace era is still it's John It's baseball. It's not football.
Where okay, it was a big, great run for a
(34:23):
month or something. No, no, this this happened. It's okay,
And look at what's happening now. Lead off batter for
the Rockies, double down the line. This is what's happening.
Now I'm telling you have a chance. Right now, you
gotta go back and say, Grimace, I'm sorry, and and
and I'm sorry. I said your error is over. Your
error is still going. It's still the Grimace era, and
maybe things will turn around for you.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
If not, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Responsible for what happens to night and then the Dodger
Rocky game. You know, I can't. I can't get a
can't get a first base umpire to call a check swing.
You know, every single night, Mike, It's got nothing to
do with Grimace. If the Dodgers can't beat the damn Rockies, well,
there is.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
That point that needs to be made there, especially when
it is Rancho Kucamonga Knight where the minor leaguers lined
up in Reverence to watch a bullpen warm up session
by Clayton kershaw tonight ahead of his start.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Yeah, sing a banner, he hitting ninety good.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
They got him back right when when uh, when Bueler
goes on the il for a while just to shut
him down and and uh get him back like a
guy that was the a bit dejected. He needed a
time out. Yeah, but I'm telling you, man, I mean
this shows you how real the Grimace effect is I said,
you didn't say Otani's gonna strike out looking, and Otani
struck out looking. I mean, there's no there's I can't
(35:35):
It can't be any more clearer than that, right, there
can't be any more.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Clear, Tyscher. Just in case you missed.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Whoa what are you doing? Man? Noga?
Speaker 4 (35:46):
That's final?
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Now you know what's gonna happen now after they get watched.
Dave Roberts is gonna get fired, the Dodger are gonna
trade Otani or Tani's gonna demand, Hey, I need to
get paid now instead of ten years. I don't know
what I was thinking. I need thirty eight million dollars
by tomorrow. I'm not gonna play where do you see
what happens?
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Man?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
You want to? You want to You want to test
the You want to test Grimmace like that, You test grimm.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Who's gonna have that tweet first? JJ Reddick to the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Oh, Jane Moore will have that tweet first. He's gonna
be the one. Do you think he breaks the news
when the Lakers do hire a head coach, you think
it's Jane Moore than on Twitter that says what happened.
Do you think that's what that's what goes on.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
It's we've hit rock bottom.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
I like to announce Reddick with Bonnie Williams as the
next head coach the Lakers. Oh boy, oh my goodness.
Does he do it in a funny voice?
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yeah, bring back his Buddy Hackett reference and you know impersonation.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
No, No, he would do it like Christopher Walking, because he
has a pretty good Christopher Walking impression, So he would
do it like he was one of the first to
go down that highway. Yeah, that is what Christopher walking
reading good Night Moon on the Simpsons, good Night Room,
good Night Moon. Yeah there, good night cow jump being
over the moon, and it cansel. But I'm telling you,
(37:06):
watch what happens with Frostburg. Now you made fun of
the Grimace era. You canceled it. You canceled Grimace, you
canceled Christmas, you canceled everything. Now watch what happens to you.
Watch it out.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
I suggest in case you've missed, read.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Not gonna be responsible. Not gonna be responsible man, not
happening coming up next. Hey, just to show you the karmea.
We had to do that. But we got that big
NFL story on the way next, this is Fox I reloaded.
Oh that's not a bad that's that's bad. You know
that's not a not a bad run. There just saying
bad job by.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
You while getting the word sorry, and that was well done.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Again, you go anti Grimace at your own at your
own risk.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Now I know he lives on. How if Miguel Ross
gets a hit.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Okay, there's something to that.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
If he gets a hit, I think I could be back.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
All right, we'll see see now here's where he's going now, okay,
So now if you say something nice about Grimace, if
you say you want to get back on, I said,
Grimace is for everybody. Miguel Rojas will get a hit
for you here and the Dodge will go ahead.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Now we're just wishing for miracles.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
I'm just telling you he is a two ninety one hit,
or isn't he?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
And now and now too late. You wouldn't do it.
And he flew out to right field to end the inning.
You wouldn't do it. You had a chance. Frostburg, This
loss a I can't believe I'm gonna say this. The
Dodgers gonna lose this game because of you tonight. I mean,
you're gonna be the one Dave Rowbins spiting you. Dave
Roberts are going to talk about this after the game
is over. You know, things are going fine until you
know justin Frostburt' sided to deny Grimace. You know, I
(38:44):
don't know we're going to replace some Otani bobbleheads with
Grimace bobblehead. So I don't know what he was thinking
right there. Hopefully he has an apology of some kind
and gets on board with a Grimace era.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Yeah, if I have to.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Well, I mean, he'll give you a hug before he
sends you away. But you know people are already lining
up for the decoy and O Tai bobblehead.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
So get line. Now, Now this story, it's it's gone
from being weird and unsure how true it is to
now it's just out and now creepy. The latest twist
and turns in the Bill Belichick dating a twenty four
year old former cheerleader, has just gotten nuts. Today. The
(39:26):
New York Post got ring doorbell footage of a shirtless
Bill Belichick what looks to be a shirtless Bill Belichick
leaving potentially Jordan Hudson's house at some point in the
last few months where the ring door bell has him
opening the door with no shirt on early in the morning.
(39:47):
You know, the walk of shame, you know, whatever it
would be. And again I say, allegedly Bill Belichick. Allegedly
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Now it's Bill Belichick walking.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Around with no shirt on, and it's like early in
the morning, and he leaves, and I don't know where
he's going out with no shirt on this early in
the morning. This is this is the latest development of
the Bill Belichick you know, seventy two year old man
dating twenty four year old Jordan Hudson. Okay, I mean
look when I first of all, when I saw this,
I'm like, okay, if you're doing the Walk of shame,
(40:17):
if you're doing, do you really go outside with no
shirt on? If you're if you're seventy two, do you
go with no shirt on? I mean, you're Bill Belichick.
Look where you live.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Do you not see a bunch of seventy something and
octagenarians running around with shirtless.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
He just had the greatest night of his life. You're
lucky he had pants on.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
No.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
I was gonna say, why are we judging the man
for his nighttime activities? And his I mean, you're walking
around without sleeves claiming you've got triceps unless you're painted
them on.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
I didn't see him. Some guy across the street is
watering his low seven o'clock in the morning. Is that coach?
That's my good that's coach no shirt off?
Speaker 4 (40:56):
BELICHICKI you only got him get back to practice, no days.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Off telling it the Okay, I'll go back and ended up.
But then Belichick those edges, now, he would go over
and show him, actually how to mo Look, you're not
doing it right. You're not You're not getting as much
torque on the on the on the turn as you
are right here. Look, you have to go over this
area another couple of times. I kinda saved you two
or three walks right up here here, Uh you know
here here here, take my card, call me. I can
help you out with this. Uh. But I mean, I mean,
(41:20):
it's just it's just stunning. Like I see this story
now and I feel like it's you know, obviously, being
seventy two, it's not it's not a midlife crisis. It
would be a later in life crisis where this is
what like, it's he's a it's a he's a cliche, right, Like,
he's a guy that had it all in his profession, right,
had everything going his way now, importing to reports, this
(41:41):
relationship has been going on for a few months, but
he knew over the course of the last season this
was gonna be it. You know, the Jets retired him.
He lost his job. He doesn't have anything else. He
went from being a guy that the pinnacle of his profession.
And what was he doing after he was hanging out
with Pat McAfee, you know, throwing out some hot takes
like this is like, Hey, I'm in I'm in later
in life crisis right now? Is he driving a sting
(42:02):
right now? Like if he decided to, I'm gonna go
bump and drive the coolest car again. I'm gonna drive
a fifty seven Chevy You I'm gonna get a sixty
five Bustang, I'm gonna drive one of those babies now,
Like I feel like this is a the quintessential what's
a what's a mid life crisis type reaction to Hey,
I had everything great. Now my life is a mess.
I don't know what's going on and and here I am.
(42:23):
Now okay, I'm just gonna go out screw it. I'm
gonna do whatever the hell I want to do. I
don't care. I'm gonna date somebody who is I'm three
times as old as she is, and I'm gonna be
gonna walk outside seven o'clock in the morning without a
shirt on because you know, I didn't know about the
ring doorbell thing. That's a bit of technology. I didn't
really know.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Hold on, no, okay, yeah, that's what it looks like.
Three times your age.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Fine, what's the problem? And right, who's he hurting? Why
does this hurt you? Why hurt no? Psychology? This just
clearly scarred you. I'm like, go live your life.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Right, You're not coaching now, You're not, as far as
I know, you're not entangled in any other thing to
where this is a illegal or or I mean, yes,
people go to the age difference. They'll go to the
signing of the homework and whatever else, and yeah, it's
a little huh interesting, but that's about as far as
(43:18):
it goes otherwise.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Again, we live in southern California. We see this hundreds
of times every day if you're out and about in
any of these beach cities. So this is this is
normal behavior as opposed to wow, that's really an outlier,
or that he must be going through something terrible. What
if he's just been waiting on this for a while
when he singled up after that long relationship and said,
(43:42):
what the hell, let's let's go. So what I'm guessing
here is, since you're defending, you're either dating someone who's
ninety to make the or you're dating someone who's in
their early twenties. I've gotten neither of it.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
I'm just I think a realist in all of this.
That is, again, as long as you nobody's getting hurt
in the process, who the hell care? Is good for
him if he's happy and it's making him happy, even
if it's fleeting, you know, do you.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Do your thing? Dude, it's still Come on, man, it's weird.
It's weird. It's not nice. It's not weird. Really, it's
not weird. It's not the ring doorbell getting out. I'd
like to know how that got it's handed over to
people and reporters.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
Was the window shut like good? He couldn't go out
the window. He had out the door, the window didn't.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Open, or so it was painted shut. It was like
Aaron Paul, the first in the first breaking bed when
they're coming into the house and he's throwing all this
stuff out of the window, pants on and he's jumping back.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
We've all been there. This is this is what you
did when you were sixteen years old.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, when you were sixteen, not when you were seventy two.
I mean, come on, man, Man, if I'm seventy two
and I got enough game and rap and I'm not,
you know, just hold up talking to you. Every night
you're going outside number books and high schools.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
If someone wants me to sign sign something, I'll be
happy to.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Yeah, Hey, hey, where'd you meet Mike Harmon? Well he
signed my textbook on my flight my textbook because I'm
still in school and I'm still figuring out like people
for a long long time. Okay, okay, no, is it?
Is it illegal? No? Of course not. Have we seen
this before yet? Not as often as you think it is,
Like you thought, like like you, you see people every
single day walk, No, you don't. You hear about it
(45:25):
in in celebrities sometimes and it winds up going though.
I think you need to get out more. Here's Leonardo DiCaprio,
who's fifty and he's dating someone who's twenty.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
Five, Robert de Niro.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Yeah, yeah, okay, so so because there's a handful of
celebrities who do that. Okay, great, share does it as well.
Speaker 3 (45:41):
We're really younger girls. Walk around your neighborhood, Smith, go
down by the.
Speaker 4 (45:45):
Beach, Come on, Belichick.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
Okay, okay, yes, because may not every time, any time
I see someone who is seventy romant with with their
romantic love interest who is twenty four. But here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (45:59):
Where are you drawing the line? I know like that,
that's basically what you're doing here. Now, Now where do
you draw the line? Is fifty acceptable? Or is that
still too young?
Speaker 1 (46:06):
It's still weird. Fifty it's still weird. It's still weird. Man, Hey,
are you you tell me this? If? If? When? When? When? If?
When one of your daughters is older, she's twenty four
years old, she brings almost seventy two year old guy,
what are you gonna say? Hey, look, I'm dating right now.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
I'm gonna ask a bunch of questions. Yeah, okay, see,
of course you are. I'm gonna ask the origin story.
But in the end, everybody makes their own mistakes. Everybody
has to forge their own lives. Okay, I'm not in
their lives at that point. Wait, so now could be
a mistake. You just said nothing was there was nothing wrong,
But now it could be a mistake.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
No, but you just said so.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
But I'm saying it could be. Here's a percentage chance
that it's a mistake. I'm not saying it's one hundred percent.
But in the moment, if that's how you're feeling, have
ad it.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
Who am I to judge? It's it, dude, it's it's
just weird. It's just weird. I mean, I can't believe.
You can't even you can't even give me that it's weird.
You oh yeah, yeah, okay, there was no When you
saw the story, you just turned the page and interesting,
that's it? Or did you go, wait, what the hell
is going on here? Literally I read it for about
eight seconds. I went, huh how about that?
Speaker 3 (47:10):
Watch the ring doorbell videos and now takes confidence get
after that again. I mean, we all have our fashion choices, shirtless,
non non shirtless, sleeves, no shirts, and.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
This show and this shows the progression of Belichick when
I tell you, because he went from a sweatshirt sweatshirt
with no sleeves now there's not even a shirt. I mean,
come on, and you see what's happening.
Speaker 3 (47:32):
To the guy I went to your questions. No sweatshirt with
no sleeves, no sleep shirt, and now no shirt.
Speaker 1 (47:38):
Man, that ain't mad? You not know we're not having
a heat wave. Have you not figured that out? I mean,
what's why he's outside with no shirt on? It's just hot,
it's hot. And he said, the hell with it. I'm
not even putting his shirt on. It's just it's just
I'm gonna walk outside with no shirt in the morning.
And guy, and go where I mean where you're gonna go? What?
Speaker 2 (47:58):
What?
Speaker 4 (47:58):
What?
Speaker 1 (47:58):
What is it in the morning. I'm gonna get up,
go outside and not have a shirt on. So when
people see me, and if someone sees me, they're gonna say, hey,
there's Bill Belichick. They wouldn't just say, oh, there's Bill Belichick.
Oh that's pretty cool. I'm wondering what he's here. He's no, Hey, Beligia.
You see that. It's hey, I saw Bill Belichick with
no shirt on.
Speaker 4 (48:15):
Jason. Maybe he thought that nobody would recognize him because
he normally wears the.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Shirt potentially no hoodie.
Speaker 3 (48:22):
I mean, that would give you a little bit of cover,
at least for a couple of seconds.
Speaker 4 (48:26):
Belichick, he's not that big.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
He didn't have a hoodie on. I didn't see it.
He didn't have the jack. He didn't have a hoodie
drawn over his face like he did when they lost
to the Jets in the last game, when he walked
off the field for the last time. I don't know
that that's Belichick.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
I didn't see the red flag in his boot.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
No shirt and the red Maybe that's how he walked out.
He's got the red flack and it's sneaker. No, that's Belichick.
I can see the.
Speaker 4 (48:52):
Red flag throwing it at the neighbor across the street
looking at him.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
It's the longest toss. He's there. You go.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
Oh but the end, you know, good for him? Good
for him. Can we all find a little bit of happiness?
Okay along the way, we didn't get someone on Twitter.
Jeff rides in. He goes, wait, the age is your
this equation? I gotta I gotta find the full text here.
Speaker 1 (49:19):
It's half your age plus seven, so that the border
and the deadline for him is anybody at forty three? Okay,
So there you go. Forty three Okay.
Speaker 3 (49:30):
I don't know if that's science, not forty three, as
Frostburg would say, science. But if she's happy and he's happy,
can we all use a little bit of happiness.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
So you know happy Smith? Okay, this guy no, because listen,
you want to say the word science. Okay. I told
you when you go anti Grimace, bad things are going
to happen Anti Grimace twenty eight minutes ago telling me
the Grimmace error was over. What did I say? I
told him Otani going to strike out looking because he
(50:01):
went anti Grimace. Otani struck out looking. I gave him
a chance a few minutes ago. I said, hey, you
got a chance. You got runner at second two outs.
If you would re embrace the Grimace era, good things
are gonna happen. Frostburg wouldn't do it. Dodgers didn't score.
What just happened? The Rockies walk off with a sacrifice fly.
They beat the Dodgers seven six.
Speaker 4 (50:19):
Got nothing to do with Grimace, Mike Grimace. Johann Ramirez
is literally the worst grimm.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
The ex met Johann Ramirez.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
He was your best blank him.
Speaker 1 (50:28):
Grimace era is real. I don't need anything more than that.
Your favorite your favorite phrase, Frostburg is, it's science. This
is science. Man. You just saw what happened and you
still went anti Grimace.
Speaker 4 (50:40):
There's nothing I can do anymore. We killed him off.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
You can go back, No, you can come on bring.
It's like a I sure got that second mercy shot in.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
He was John wick ty shirt killing people.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
Off, and the show is like dying in a Marvel movie.
Are you're really dead? No, of course not. You come
back at some point when you want to make more
money or there, you know. Kevin Fige says, help, I
really screwed up a multiverse era. We need you to
come back, Robert, come on back. I want to shake

(00:51):
Are you're gonna make a grid? Like we told you?
We want to know with marriages. I told you McDonald's
every day as long as I met right, but going
today today was a light day. Today was a mocha today.
It was just a mooka when I went that. Yeah, yeah,
I just I just I just do I not believe you?
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Not even a basic cheeseburger or fry, or a piping
hot apple pie to sear the roof of your mouth.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Never eating the apple pie. No, no, no, I didn't know
they make the apple pie anymore. I don't think they
miss No. No, you just ordered the cookies, so it
doesn't matter. It was. It was a big mac and
fries at like six thirty, so like to go out.
We were out today. I'm like, yeah, let's just get
a drink. I'll just get a drink. I'll keep the
streak going, keep the streak a lot, Keep yourself live,
keep yourself live.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Hey, did you see their news? One point twenty seven
billion for the rights to their music?
Speaker 4 (01:40):
YOUO like the fact that you think he eats the
apple pie?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Oh oh, well, you know what, okay, got it? Keep
it in a good frame of mind. It's a positivity Wednesday. Yes,
I'm trying to keep my mentals in check and that
was not gonna help. So eating burning in the roof
of his mouth. Funny other stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
Thank you Stiffler for the obvious joke on the apple pie.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Thanks So, how many seconds is your microwave set for?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
No? No, no, no, no, no, dude, there's no way.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Man, She's got a popcorn apple pie.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
No, I think a McDonald's. Just they just put the
apple pie. And when they would give it to you?
And how long microwave for it? Says fifteen seconds? What
two minutes and fifteen seconds? Got it? Okay, great, there
we go. That's what we'll do. I hit the lava button.
Yeah it was tough. It was tough, but here we are, man,
Grimace era. And look, those of you who embraced the
Grimace era. Grimace is for everyone. Having this conversation with
Tycher before we started the show, the Grimace era is
(02:37):
for everyone. If you embrace it, Grimace will love you back.
Look at last night Frostburg, who you think would be
the first guy to say all you have is Grimace?
The Mets steak Grimace? He's what did he say in
the air last night? Hey man, the Mets may never
lose again. This Grimace era is something. And what happens?
Doctor scored seven runs in the ninth inning to win
a game. He embraces the Grimace era. Your skeptical of
(02:58):
the Grimace era and the White Sox need to lose.
But last night you finally see you say something nice
about the Grimace era and the White socks win. I
have not mocked fixed the rocket science man. No, I don't.
The Grimace era.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Nice effort by Jonathan Cannon, the rookie that they're trying
to figure out if they actually have a player. You
know that they're not paying any money to that could
at one point be good for somebody else.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
But the idea of.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
The Grimace era, you know, a lot, a lot has
been made, you know, and karma gets thrown out there
and all that. Like you're looking for positivity. That's all
Mets fans are ready to abandon the season. You were
ready to abort the season. You talked about it openly
on air. You're like, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I gotta wait till training camp. I think you were
gonna start just calling in sick every night because psychologically
(03:43):
you just couldn't handle the way the Mets were playing.
And then lo and behold, the Grimace Era begins. It's fun,
it's entertaining. We talk about superstitions, we talk about finding
your lucky socks, your whatever, you know, whatever piece of
equipment gets you in between the white line of the
office that you go to every day. And I'm talking
to you America that whatever that is, if it's a
(04:06):
giant cup of coffee, you're gonna keep doing it because
it helps you get those small wins along the way.
For the Mets, they found a week of lightning in
a bottle. I had to I mean, look, I had
to get something today. I'm like, okay, it didn't it
didn't say.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
You know, when I said McDonald's every day until the
Mets lose, it didn't have to be well, you have
to get a full meal. Was just have to get
something so you know, get the getting the drink is.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, well, because the other thing is, you know, people
are texting me, go wow, everybody on the network's talking
about Jason Smith his health and the McDonald's or whatever.
The reference supersized me and I'm like, remember the man
was a raging, chronic alcoholic. At the same time, Okay,
that has come out. It wasn't just McDonald I' about
saying eating a lot of McDonald's for thirty days is
(04:47):
going to do a lot for you.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
But the reality was he had some other factors that
had to be considered in this process in terms of
what happened to his organs. The Jason Smith Show with
Mikey Carver live from the Tirack dot Com studios Direct
dot Com. I'll help you get there. An unmatched election, fast,
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand
recommended in stallars diirect dot Com is the way tire
(05:11):
buying should be. So while the Mets continue to try
to keep their win streak alive, tied three to three
with the Rangers in the seventh of the Grimace Era. Uh,
the biggest story in sports and there's a big shoe
to drop you. I'm gonna give you a big Bowl
prediction in a minute. Manny Williams got fired as head
coach at Detroit Pistons today And it wasn't surprising because
what did what did they lose fifty seven games in
(05:34):
a row this year? What was that horrible? Terrible, really
really bad?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't. Uh, it wasn't.
It wasn't good. First things first is this, and this
is this. I really have a tough time coming around
to this. Detroit eight sixty five million dollars to get
rid of Manti Williams, right, they owe him sixty five
million dollars. Danny Hurley was offered seventy million. I know,
(06:02):
I know, Hey, Danny, how about we just pay you
what we're going to pay money to get rid of them.
They're absorbing all sixty five million dollars right. This was
a six year, seventy eight million dollar contract. When he
got fired by the Suns. Was Coach of the Year
with the Phoenix Suns, and here he is in Detroit.
It didn't work out. And I know that that that
teams are worth in the in the billions of dollars now,
(06:24):
and even when the lowest of the market teams, if
they were sold, would would go for in the high
hundreds of millions and close to a billion dollars. But man,
and I know the owners are making money, and I
know they sit here and we don't get a fair
representation of the moneies that they make on sports because
they wouldn't be doing it if they didn't make money.
But I really, I mean all of that. Knowing all
(06:45):
of that, knowing all of that, I have a hard
time believing the Pistons have sixty five million dollars to
just throw away. I have a hard time believing they
have that kind of money. And you know, anybody said,
but I have the Pistons. They've been the worst Dad.
They've been the last four years as well. What's the
record been, Have you won one hundred games in the
last four years? And and and they they have. They
(07:05):
have sixty five million dollars. They could eat really like that,
Like that should have precluded them from getting a new
coach for the next four years. Oh, bunny.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
The sole owner of the Pistons is Tom Gores born
Tuffique Gorgias.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
He's net worth a six billion. He has sixty five
million to just burn. You're sure about that. He can
do the entire he can do the entire Joker thing
from Dark Knight, because I think if he could do Burn.
I think if he could do that, he would have
gotten better free agents to go along with k Key.
But you can do so much under the salary cap structure,
(07:42):
Well do it. He can't pay anymore beyond wow.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
I mean, look, we can all nod and wink and
wonder what other enticements are there beyond your actual NBA contract.
But to this point there hasn't been a giant scandal
related to Hey, this guy got a couple of houses
in the hills in addition to his three hundred million
dollars deal. I don't know that that's you know, never happened.
(08:04):
But at this point I would have thought Woes or
one of these guys would have done a deep dive.
Windhorse would have been pointing at you and trying to
be a hot take artist and whatever else, and then
Shams would have just been sitting there with a smirk
out of his face the whole time. Like all of
that to say, if he could just pay anybody anything,
then sure, But right now, I mean you vacation in Detroit.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I don't want to disparage the good city.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I'm just saying, if you got choices as a free agent,
is that where you're going up is the legacy of
the microwave that strong for you.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Now, it's funny you say that. It's funny you say
that because I'm gonna go really bold here. I'm gonna
go really bold and go opposite of what has been
widely assumed and somewhat reported. The Lakers need a head coach, right,
Lakers and Cavaliers need a head coach. It looks like
(08:58):
the Cavaliers moving towards James Barrego. The Lakers after swinging
and missing or I don't know, they swung and miss
I think they took a fastball down the middle on
Danny Hurley. It was JJ Reddick, right, if he's will.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
There smith that bat the other night or last night
where he was trying to call time and.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I'm stepping out and it's gonna go right down the middle,
I'm not gonna swing after having that happen, all right,
JJ Reddick was the guy. There was nobody else. Reddick
was there. Yes, I understand, we're knocking announced anything till
after the finals are over, and ESPN wants him to
work there, and I understand, and these stories the last
couple of days that JJ Reddick is it's it's all
but done, and Reddick has been kind of unofficially hired already.
(09:38):
That doesn't make sense, that doesn't pass the smell test.
And for a team that could have done this now
the last if JJ Redick was a done deal, you
get him right because you need you need a head coach.
And if Reddick is your guy, the day after the
NBA Finals, you say, hey, guess what, Reddick's our guy.
Reddick is a right We don't want to risk losing
him to Cleveland or somebody else or something. You don't
want to risk that Reddick's your guy. Why would you
(10:00):
need to hire him in secret? Why would you to
do it. I know you want to try to to
try to put a coaching staff together that really builds
him up. But he's the head coach, right, you don't
want to lose him, and they haven't. I would go
I'm gonna go bold here, I'm gonna go bold here
and say this is what the Lakers were waiting on
that Reddick, what Reddick was their guy unless Monty Williams
(10:21):
came free. Because Monty Williams is a really good coach.
R It did work out in Detroit. Detroit's terrible, but
he was Coach of the Year with the Phoenix Suns.
This is a guy that's sounded. This is a guy
that has the basketball cachet that everybody will buy into.
He's gonna get the Lakers to play hard. Doesn't matter
what happened in Detroit. Detroit is Oh, look, Detroit's barely
on the on the radar screen for the NBA. But
there's no reason why they would drag their feet on
(10:42):
JJ Reddick unless there was another guy out there. They
were waiting for now, there could be a huge mystery
candidate we don't know about, like, hey, maybe Greg Popovich.
In three days, are gonna say, Hey, I'm out, I'm done.
I hate this webby guy. He's getting all the credit. Man,
I want to go to the Lakers now unless something
like crazy like that happens. But I wonder, and I'm
sitting here try to put the connect the dots that
this is what they were waiting for. And there's gonna
(11:04):
be quick interviews with Monty Williams. They gotta figure out
the money and money he's owed and everything else. But
this is the guy they were waiting for. Hey, if
we can get Monty, that would change things. We like JJ,
but boy, Monty would really be something. And I'm gonna
go bold that you're gonna see his name connected with
the Lakers in the next twenty four hours. They're gonna
interview him, and when it happens, it's gonna wind up
(11:24):
being Monty Williams.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I'd have to figure out what date it was. But
we did actually have a report a few weeks ago,
and you and I broached the topic of Williams to
the Lakers briefly because there was a report lingering as
the regular season faded into the rear view that Williams
and his staff were gonna get let go. So it
becomes the eyebrow raising of all right, now what do
(11:47):
we got and here we are today they decide to
just eat all that money. Now I about money, Williams.
Part of me is going how much do I love coaching?
How much do I like my thirteen million dollars a year?
Because I mean, you start getting into offsets and whatever
the legal wranglings are in terms of what you get
paid if you take another gig. But for me, yeah,
(12:09):
I mean you've got a guy with a track record,
a guy that has a history with players other personnel
in the league and has been one of the most
sought after as related to the amount of money that
the Pistons paid him to come there. Right, I mean,
he was a guy a couple of years ago. It's like,
all right, will he be the Lakers coach?
Speaker 1 (12:29):
This time?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Wasn't in that cycle? This time the opportunity knocks and
again it's gonna be the what is Lebron and ad
too want? Right, it's the short and long term. If
you're the Lakers, I think you want to fix short term.
Long term's got.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
To figure out. It figure itself out over time. Right,
as much as you'd like to have both work together,
and that was part of the hurly big push and
dalliance there, but for now you've got to do whatever
you can to maximize the lebron era, assuming right after
he opts out and gets his new contract, that it's
(13:04):
actually a contract that he signs with the Lakers. Right,
did anybody find him at that Kendrick Lamar concert to
find out? For sure? I don't clean anything out of that. Look,
I know that there's been a big push, and it's
gotta be done right, because if the Lakers are really
going to do this, they can't. If they're gonna go
(13:25):
in for Monnie Williams and not get they're gonna lose
JJ Reddick. Reddick's not gonna be the third guy always. Okay,
you wanted Danny early, all right, I got he's got
a great resume. I understand. Okay, but now you're talking me, Oh,
now you're waiting for Minnie Williams. So it reports earlier
today that maybe Monny Williams, you know, is he gonna
be even be a Lakers candidate that's up in the air.
It's gotta be done. It's got to be done in
(13:46):
one fell. So either they know they're gonna get Monny
Williams and he's the guy, or it's gonna be a
quick pivot to JJ Redick because you can't have him
go now. I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait. Only you
can only ask somebody so many people to the dance
and then say no before the your third or fourth
choice is gonna say no. Beat it. So it's gonna
it's gotta be done. It's got to be a really
(14:07):
fine line. It's got to be done under the radar,
and it's gotta happen fast. But watch out, I'm I'm
telling you MANI. Why else are they dragging their their
feet on JJ Redick? Well, I mean they might have
been just trying to go with the unwritten rules and
protect the sanctity of the NBA and let it sit
in Rumerville. Unfortunately, at times it overshadowed what was a
(14:28):
really bad final series. However, as we look at it now,
right you're on the clock, the draft is coming up,
your off season is shrinking by the day like sands
in the hour glass. Uh and and you gotta move forward. Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
For for Reddick, you know, he's a guy sitting there
and and he'll probably you know, after this, other teams
will probably take a look at him. But if you
could walk right in and say, hey, how's the coach
of the Lakers, even if it's for two years, you
get a pile of cash and guess what. TV's always waiting.
It's like I always preached for years before all this
(15:02):
nil stuff. In the change in college, Jason, the colleges
aren't closing. If anything, it's easier. You don't have to
wear pants. You could get a degree from the comfort
of your own home anymore. So same thing, there's always
going to be a television job waiting for you.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Exit. How about a Fresca exit? Swollen down the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. We are
live from the tiraq dot Com studios. We'll have more
on this story as it develops. More on the Grimace era.
The Mets now trailing by two in the seventh inning,
so they oh, they could be on their way to
the first loss of the Grimace era. It could happen.
(15:39):
I do want to It's not going to be perfect
the Grimace era, it just got to be close to perfect.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Well, it's over. If they don't win nothing, it's completely over.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
The era is toppled.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
We'll see these statues of Grimace's toppled than a fiddler
in the streets.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
One win, it's over.
Speaker 1 (15:56):

(17:22):
in a minute, Mike and I are going to give
you our picks for next year. Who's going to the
NBA Finals next year? But hey, Cleveland needs a head
coach first. Let him get a head coach. Ded. We
can see if they go to the finals. But you
know it comes down to this, Mike, when when you
when you look at hiring your next head coach. Right,
all the many Williams fired today and the Piston decide
(17:42):
they're gonna eat sixty eight million dollars rather than be
their coach. You know, you see a guy go from Hey,
he's a coach of the Year like he was with
the Phoenix Suns and they were great in the regular season.
They racked up wins and it was fantastic. And one
year suddenly, well, how how great a coach can he
be because he goes with the p and they have
one of the worst regular seasons of the last twenty
(18:03):
five years in the NBA. Yeah, obviously it's about the
talent on the team, but you want to think that
a coach can make a difference and at least bring
some sort of style or philosophy. And I'll be honest
with you now where things are in the NBA, And
this is why Monti Williams is a great hire where
things are in the NBA. And you saw it with
the Celtics winning the title the other night, that you
(18:23):
can win with an offensive system that is pretty much
just hey, guys can all hit threes, and we rely
on our players to make the ISO plays they need to.
We make plays in transition. It's okay, right, the Celtics
have shown you that without this great offensive system, just hey,
our guys go out and kind of do their own thing. Hey,
it works, right, And that's a strategy. And then people
want to dismiss it, but you see that works. The
(18:46):
biggest thing is the number one thing. The only thing
I would look at if I needed a head coach
in the NBA is I would say is this guy?
Is he good for the company? I would say, is
this guy going to get the team to play defense?
Because that's the only sure fireway to improve and the
only thing that you can really control. Because offensively, you've
seen different different ways it works talent out there, but
(19:08):
if you can get the team to play well defensively,
you're worth it. Right, and look at the coaches that
have won. Right, Missoula is a really good defensive coach. Right,
Boss is a really good defensive team. Look how far
the Timberwolves came on defense. Right, the Knicks with Thibodeaux,
who is defensive specialists, Look at where they've come in
the last four years. And Monti Williams is a great
defensive coach. He took the Suns, who I think we're
(19:28):
giving up two hundred points a game before he showed up,
and they went from like one of the worst in
the league to middle of the pack, you know, top
third of the league. So you know he's gonna get
the buy in and the only sure fireway you can
improve from year to year. Look, yes, you can rely
on the and you can hope the draft works out,
you can hope free agency works out. But one thing
that'll work out if you can play defense. If the
(19:49):
coach can come in and get everybody to buy in
just to play defense, that guy is worth it. No
matter what else happened. Offense can be what it is.
Everything else can be whatever it is. But if the
guys can all buy and play defense, you see what
happens to teams and they magically transform. And Manti Williams
is that guy. Well, let me quote Joe Missoula as
I don't know if this is appropriate, but it's fun.
(20:10):
Quote anyway, Batman goes into the interrogation room with the
Joker and it was the coolest moment of like good
and evil have to coexist, differences have to coexist in
order to bring the best out of each other and
the people around you. Relate it back to defense. Yeah,
you don't want.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
To play defense for forty eight minutes and a lot
of guys go through a game and it's selective, right,
I mean, I think that would be the fair way
to talk about Luca. That would be the fair way
to talk about where Lebron is in his career Steph
Curry in terms of aptitude effort on that side, when
you're given so much on the offensive end, right, it's
(20:49):
hard to do both consistently and do them well in
this NBA, which is much more wide open, running around
three point shots, free flowing offenses, as opposed to all right,
we're gonna slow it down, get it into you, ink
back to the basket. Shot clock down to ten. All right,
now we start moving again. You just got fifteen seconds
of rest, you know that kind of thing. So it's
(21:12):
the ability to do now. I'd rather they hire JJ
Reddick because I think that'll be far more entertaining for
us in terms of the flow, the podcast that they'll
have to keep doing at this point, and watching people
in our associated media lose their minds.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
But I think you hit it on the head, right.
There's two things I need.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
I need a guy that can get a bucket, and
I need people at the rim or with some tenacity
on the perimeter that can stop the bucket. Right, it's
the old NFL thing. I need a quarterback that can
make a play, and I need a guy rushing off
the edge that can get me to their quarterback. Right,
it's NBA same thing, and a lot of it becomes
(21:54):
about philosophy and buying.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And with Monni.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Williams, you remember as much as you can get, and
we talk about coaches. Look how many coaches get cycled out.
You got Kerr, you got Spolstra and Popovich everybody else.
It's like going back, let's roll the dice and see
what the next thing is to pop up. Are you
in line for a contract? Who did we get assigned
to us? All right, let's go and you do your
best with it, because there ain't a lot of longevity
(22:18):
in this league. So in the end you need players.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Now. I certainly remember a certain Fox Sports radio host
who really tried to make Detroit happen. I know, I
know a couple of years ago, I thought Kay Cunningham
was gonna be the guy. I know he's still gonna
get paid, So it doesn't matter. No, no, no, no,
no no, there's a big difference. Lots of guys can
get paid. It's paid. We're talking about his performance, all right,
(22:46):
we have to talk about his performance being on the court,
being available and actually producing I really did, And instead
they just went the other way. They said, Ah, you
think we're gonna be good? What just be actually do?
Because if it just came down dude, I know we're
gonna do it. No, if it just came down to
which guy is gonna get a check, I mean that
that game's no fun because everybody's getting paid all the
way down to the twelfth Man, it's all just a
(23:07):
matter of how many zeros are there.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
You sided Batman, right, I did?
Speaker 1 (23:11):
Oh no, No, Johnny.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Bush should just break a pul q in like five pieces.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
No, I think that's five guys in the room gamble
and that's it room for aggressive expansion. I like that Frostburg,
let's go.
Speaker 4 (23:27):
I mean, Monty Williams is old, but he looks crappy.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Oh I think he could get after it. He's wiring,
but like he's got to know he's got reach too.
Though he's got to reach. I would never be able
to get inside money. I'd be like Tyson trying to
fight Buster Douglas, like trying to get in, but the head,
those long arms is pushing Tyson off, pushing Tyson, and
there's no rules.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
So J. J. Reddick's gonna lose because somebody will touch
his hair or face.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Hey, that's why he's got to have a no touching
of the hair face like Ron Burgundy. That's one point.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Well, no, you're going for a coaching job, that's something
you got to give up.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
But everything you know that open. No. But if they're
all going in the ring together, you have that one
point where he says, now you have to get the
rules right, no touching of the hair. Remember the rest
of us that that don't get this job or going
back into the media. So no touching of the hair fait.
Everybody will say, of course, of course, of course. Uh
(24:19):
so I'm telling you that's the only thing I care
about is playing defense. That's all I.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
Care Speaking of defense, and the Grimace era could be
coming to a real quick here.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
We'll get to that with Monci coming up in a
couple of minutes. Yes, the Mets look like they're about
to suffer the first loss of the Grimace.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
What are you gonna do, buddy, We'll do well.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The next three and a half hours will be in
retrospect on the week of the Grimace Era.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Well, it's over if they lose.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
It's not though, No, just stop. What we have to
do is wait and see if McDonald's cuts bait, and
after the game is over all the Mets loss, go
back to Ronald, put the archers back on the Twitter
account the lost.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
They're gonna act like this never happened.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Grimace and his Mets hat, get it off of social media.
We don't need that right now, Get it off, Get
it off, Get it off. That's gonna be. That's gonna
be what you see. Okay, the Grimace era is really over. See.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I'll just be mad because anybody that tried to deny
the Grimace era will immediately start taking their victory lapse.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
And I just can't have that. I mean, you can't
be a fun hater like that professionally. Come on, so, yes,
it is now official. The New York Mets have suffered
the first loss of the Grimace era. Will remember you
Rangers win it by the final of five to three.
And let me go and make sure that McDonald still
has Hang on, I'm gonna check, make sure they still
(25:33):
have us as the Mets. And it's still there. Yes,
it's still there, Grimace where the Mets hat pulling a
wagon with the Mets logo. It is still McDonald's logo.
It is still the Grimace era. Grimace era is still going. Well,
don't have to worry about a sad day though. Wait,
let me hit refresh. It's gone. No, I'm kidding, it's
still then. No. No, look, if they were that on
(25:55):
top of it now, that would be extra special sauce.
Right the minute that game, you go back to Ronald
McDonald and get the purple guy in the Mets at
off you just do it? Okay, how did we not
get to deal with the Yankees? What don't we do?
All Right, So Mike and I have talked about this,
(26:15):
and it's time now as we get ready for the year,
we say goodbye to the Celtics. Their parade is coming up.
They win the NBA title, Uh, basically kind of a
wired to wire thing. They were the best team all
season long, they were never really threatened in the playoffs,
and they put an exclamation point on the season. Who's
going to the NBA Finals next year? Well, I'm gonna
give you two teams that not only are really good now,
(26:39):
but I look at what's the likelihood they're going to
be able to upgrade in the offseason, Because you can't
if you're the same team. You're standing still, you're gonna
get passed, right, you need something. You'd be able to
be bold and make moves. Gotta be able to go
get Chris tops porzingis. If you're the Celtics, you gotta
be able to upgrade where you are right now, because
if you didn't win the title, you're not good enough.
And I'll give you two teams, And the first number
(27:00):
to give you is Oklahoma City, right like I would
love to give you a big I'd love to say Denver,
I'd love to, but Oklahoma City is already a terrific team.
They're one of the youngest teams in the NBA, and
they have all kinds of money and first round picks
to deal with where they can go get the missing pieces.
They can go get a big if they need. Right,
I'm hearing a lot of Hey, the Nicks could lose
(27:21):
Hertenstein to the to the Thunder. They could give them
a lot of money. When you're that good, you're that young,
and you have money and first round picks, I know
they're gonna get better in the offseason. So you know
it's a loaded Western conference, But right now, give me
the Thunder. To go to the NBA Finals next year.
Look at you run in with a squad that's about
ten to one. I'll say, after being challenged in great
(27:44):
adversity that they were humbled a bit. The Minnesota Timberwolves
run it back and finish the job to get to
the NBA Finals. They are currently sitting at nine to one.
I think Anthony.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Edwards needed to go through you know, the try By fire.
You've got the defensive stalwarts there. The Western Conference is
gonna be a pain in the ass because these other
teams are getting better.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Right. Memphis is gonna get healthy, uh and get back
into it. We'll see what New Orleans does with Brandon
Ingram and company. Sacramento was good in spurts uh, So
we'll see what they are and then the young and
plucky Houston Rockets will have something to say. Look, Wenby's
still time off. If he couldn't get an extra win
in his rookie year, I don't know what they're doing
in the offseason to suddenly give them any juice. But
(28:28):
give me Minnesota out of the West in the East,
you're not gonna like it. You're not gonna like it alls.
But they are positioned as good as they are now
to get even better in the offseason because they are
armed with a with a with a contract they pissed
to show. They have draft picks to dangle for more depth.
(28:49):
They don't need a star, they just need to get
a tiny bit deeper. And I'm telling you would have
happened this year, but they got hurt all the way through.
And I'm telling you the Knicks are going to the
finals next year. Give me the Knicks and the thunder.
Look whether if Julie the Knicks evolved into a team
where they were nova Nicks led right, So, now, where
does Julius Randall fit coming back after you saw this
(29:12):
huge run? Now, great, you get a talented player like
that coming back. Is he going to fit with the offense?
Is he gonna fit with what they do? Because clearly
it's Brunson, it's heart, and it's Stevencenzo and then you
have the support players. Now, maybe he fits, but if not,
he is a huge chip that you can trade who's
a good player that makes money that you're gonna be
able to go get if hey, if Minnesota wants to
(29:32):
get rid of Karl Anthony Towns, okay, or if you
need to go get a couple of depth pieces because
now you've seen that, all right, we've seen that we
have a really good three that we like, led by
Brunson and the other two Nova Knicks. Hey, maybe we
just need to go get a couple of depth pieces
now so when injuries start happening, we can play more
than four guys at a time. So the fact that
the Knicks have that and they have Randall's contract and
(29:54):
they have the Sicks they can dangle. Yeah, they can
really get better. Things are going well for them. They
become a destination. Give me Nix and the Thunder in
the NBA finals next year. If that happens, I'm cheering
for Chatton, Hart and Stein. Former Nick does great. Okay,
he's not He's not a thunder yet. He's not a thunder.
You to stop putting them there, jerk.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
You did in your analysis of what they're gonna do
and what that's how you were trying to say they.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
What you man, embrace the fun of the grimace erra man,
come on, dude.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Right fifteen to one right now for you. When I
was wandering around like, ah, the Sixers might do.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Something that'll be interesting, but they still have to to
roll through plus eighteen hundred. We look at the Bucks,
they're ten to one. That's Doc Rivers. I'm not too avance,
so I.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
End up going back to the chalk. I say to
beat the man. You gotta beat the man. The Celtics
are there again. Exit Out about a Fresca exit swollen domes.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I like that show with Mike Carbon. Hey, look right now,
I am completely down for a Nick Celtics Eastern Conference final.
That looks good dah. Now the Pacers at forty to
one are moderately interesting. Maybe arrived a year too soon.
I think. I think forty to one was the odds
that NEM Parts three was gonna go, and it actually went. Hey,
that's future Canadian Olympia nemhr chure. Exit Out about a
(31:13):
Fresco exit swalling down. The Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Carbon coming up next. What has become
a crazy story has evolved into now one that's kind
of cringe worthy when you think about it, and it
involves one of the best coaches the NFL has ever seen.
That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
I hate you Smith.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
You know all I did was tell you the truth.
We're gonna get to We're gonna get to a big
NFL story in a second. What did you do? Now?
What happens? Let me tell you what happens when you
want to make fun of the Grimace era.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
You put that evil on me.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
This Oh no, so whaila. While while we were in
a break, Frostburg's talking to me, going, oh, your Grimace
era is over, man, it's over. I go, it's fine.
He's still up there on the on the Twitter page.
McDonald's no, it's over. They had to win. It's done.
It's over. The Grimace Era is over. And as I'm watching,
the Dodgers have two on and one out in the
(32:16):
seventh inning against the Rockies, and uh, he's it's over.
I said, you embraced the Grimace era last night, man,
Remember you were saying how great it was, and the
Dodgers scored seven runs in the ninth. If you go
against the Grimace Era, things are gonna go bad for you.
It's what's gonna happen. And and and as soon as
I said that, Hey, centerfielder makes a dive and catch
on a place said you see that right there? And
(32:37):
Frostbick said, are you kidding? Otani's coming up with two
on and two out like he's gonna get out. I go,
you just thumbed your nose with the Grimace era. Otani's
gonna strike out looking, And you know what just happened. Show, Hey,
Otani struck out looking to end the time. This is war,
my runs. I told you you do not got you.
You you deal and and and mess with the Grimma
(33:00):
era of your your own pays and your own speed
man like you don't do that. You want to throw
cauch to win. Look what happens. Look how bad it
was already. I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
The Grimace era is over. You don't have to put
the evil on other people.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
It's not over. You're the one that I did not
prompt you by saying, oh, the Grimace No, you just said,
oh it's over, it's over. It's over. You embraced it
last night you scored seven.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
And we have to take out your Dodger voodoo doll
and start stabbing it.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, no, no, to stab a dodger vood in this situation.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
I quote the late great lou reid off the album
New York and the song straw Man. Just remember spitting
in the wind comes back at you twice as hard
yep telling you straw Man going straight to the devil.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
So be careful. You want, you want to play with
the Grimace era, you do that at your own at
your own risk. And look what happened to you, Frostburg.
I just listen. There's still time you can repent, because
it's only the eighth inning. If you want to re
embrace the Grimace era. The Dodgers can still win this game.
Speaker 4 (33:58):
Well we killed them off. So how you play on?
Bringing that up?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
You you did? Man said you may ever win another game.
Dodgers may go. You may you may go over the
rest of the season. That might be. Well. I mean
he had a good run. It's still a run. The
Grimace era is still it's John It's baseball. It's not football.
Where okay, it was a big, great run for a
(34:23):
month or something. No, no, this this happened. It's okay,
And look at what's happening now. Lead off batter for
the Rockies, double down the line. This is what's happening.
Now I'm telling you have a chance. Right now, you
gotta go back and say, Grimace, I'm sorry, and and
and I'm sorry. I said your error is over. Your
error is still going. It's still the Grimace era, and
maybe things will turn around for you.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
If not, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Responsible for what happens to night and then the Dodger
Rocky game. You know, I can't. I can't get a
can't get a first base umpire to call a check swing.
You know, every single night, Mike, It's got nothing to
do with Grimace. If the Dodgers can't beat the damn Rockies, well,
there is.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
That point that needs to be made there, especially when
it is Rancho Kucamonga Knight where the minor leaguers lined
up in Reverence to watch a bullpen warm up session
by Clayton kershaw tonight ahead of his start.
Speaker 4 (35:12):
Yeah, sing a banner, he hitting ninety good.
Speaker 1 (35:14):
They got him back right when when uh, when Bueler
goes on the il for a while just to shut
him down and and uh get him back like a
guy that was the a bit dejected. He needed a
time out. Yeah, but I'm telling you, man, I mean
this shows you how real the Grimace effect is I said,
you didn't say Otani's gonna strike out looking, and Otani
struck out looking. I mean, there's no there's I can't
(35:35):
It can't be any more clearer than that, right, there
can't be any more.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Clear, Tyscher. Just in case you missed.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Whoa what are you doing? Man? Noga?
Speaker 4 (35:46):
That's final?
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Now you know what's gonna happen now after they get watched.
Dave Roberts is gonna get fired, the Dodger are gonna
trade Otani or Tani's gonna demand, Hey, I need to
get paid now instead of ten years. I don't know
what I was thinking. I need thirty eight million dollars
by tomorrow. I'm not gonna play where do you see
what happens?
Speaker 4 (36:02):
Man?
Speaker 1 (36:02):
You want to? You want to You want to test
the You want to test Grimmace like that, You test grimm.
Speaker 4 (36:06):
Who's gonna have that tweet first? JJ Reddick to the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Oh, Jane Moore will have that tweet first. He's gonna
be the one. Do you think he breaks the news
when the Lakers do hire a head coach, you think
it's Jane Moore than on Twitter that says what happened.
Do you think that's what that's what goes on.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
It's we've hit rock bottom.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
I like to announce Reddick with Bonnie Williams as the
next head coach the Lakers. Oh boy, oh my goodness.
Does he do it in a funny voice?
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Yeah, bring back his Buddy Hackett reference and you know impersonation.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
No, No, he would do it like Christopher Walking, because he
has a pretty good Christopher Walking impression, So he would
do it like he was one of the first to
go down that highway. Yeah, that is what Christopher walking
reading good Night Moon on the Simpsons, good Night Room,
good Night Moon. Yeah there, good night cow jump being
over the moon, and it cansel. But I'm telling you,
(37:06):
watch what happens with Frostburg. Now you made fun of
the Grimace era. You canceled it. You canceled Grimace, you
canceled Christmas, you canceled everything. Now watch what happens to you.
Watch it out.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
I suggest in case you've missed, read.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Not gonna be responsible. Not gonna be responsible man, not
happening coming up next. Hey, just to show you the karmea.
We had to do that. But we got that big
NFL story on the way next, this is Fox I reloaded.
Oh that's not a bad that's that's bad. You know
that's not a not a bad run. There just saying
bad job by.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
You while getting the word sorry, and that was well done.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Again, you go anti Grimace at your own at your
own risk.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Now I know he lives on. How if Miguel Ross
gets a hit.
Speaker 1 (37:57):
Okay, there's something to that.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
If he gets a hit, I think I could be back.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
All right, we'll see see now here's where he's going now, okay,
So now if you say something nice about Grimace, if
you say you want to get back on, I said,
Grimace is for everybody. Miguel Rojas will get a hit
for you here and the Dodge will go ahead.
Speaker 4 (38:17):
Now we're just wishing for miracles.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
I'm just telling you he is a two ninety one hit,
or isn't he?
Speaker 1 (38:22):
And now and now too late. You wouldn't do it.
And he flew out to right field to end the inning.
You wouldn't do it. You had a chance. Frostburg, This
loss a I can't believe I'm gonna say this. The
Dodgers gonna lose this game because of you tonight. I mean,
you're gonna be the one Dave Rowbins spiting you. Dave
Roberts are going to talk about this after the game
is over. You know, things are going fine until you
know justin Frostburt' sided to deny Grimace. You know, I
(38:44):
don't know we're going to replace some Otani bobbleheads with
Grimace bobblehead. So I don't know what he was thinking
right there. Hopefully he has an apology of some kind
and gets on board with a Grimace era.
Speaker 4 (38:53):
Yeah, if I have to.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
Well, I mean, he'll give you a hug before he
sends you away. But you know people are already lining
up for the decoy and O Tai bobblehead.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
So get line. Now, Now this story, it's it's gone
from being weird and unsure how true it is to
now it's just out and now creepy. The latest twist
and turns in the Bill Belichick dating a twenty four
year old former cheerleader, has just gotten nuts. Today. The
(39:26):
New York Post got ring doorbell footage of a shirtless
Bill Belichick what looks to be a shirtless Bill Belichick
leaving potentially Jordan Hudson's house at some point in the
last few months where the ring door bell has him
opening the door with no shirt on early in the morning.
(39:47):
You know, the walk of shame, you know, whatever it
would be. And again I say, allegedly Bill Belichick. Allegedly
Bill Belichick.
Speaker 4 (39:53):
Now it's Bill Belichick walking.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Around with no shirt on, and it's like early in
the morning, and he leaves, and I don't know where
he's going out with no shirt on this early in
the morning. This is this is the latest development of
the Bill Belichick you know, seventy two year old man
dating twenty four year old Jordan Hudson. Okay, I mean
look when I first of all, when I saw this,
I'm like, okay, if you're doing the Walk of shame,
(40:17):
if you're doing, do you really go outside with no
shirt on? If you're if you're seventy two, do you
go with no shirt on? I mean, you're Bill Belichick.
Look where you live.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
Do you not see a bunch of seventy something and
octagenarians running around with shirtless.
Speaker 4 (40:32):
He just had the greatest night of his life. You're
lucky he had pants on.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
No.
Speaker 3 (40:36):
I was gonna say, why are we judging the man
for his nighttime activities? And his I mean, you're walking
around without sleeves claiming you've got triceps unless you're painted
them on.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
I didn't see him. Some guy across the street is
watering his low seven o'clock in the morning. Is that coach?
That's my good that's coach no shirt off?
Speaker 4 (40:56):
BELICHICKI you only got him get back to practice, no days.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Off telling it the Okay, I'll go back and ended up.
But then Belichick those edges, now, he would go over
and show him, actually how to mo Look, you're not
doing it right. You're not You're not getting as much
torque on the on the on the turn as you
are right here. Look, you have to go over this
area another couple of times. I kinda saved you two
or three walks right up here here, Uh you know
here here here, take my card, call me. I can
help you out with this. Uh. But I mean, I mean,
(41:20):
it's just it's just stunning. Like I see this story
now and I feel like it's you know, obviously, being
seventy two, it's not it's not a midlife crisis. It
would be a later in life crisis where this is
what like, it's he's a it's a he's a cliche, right, Like,
he's a guy that had it all in his profession, right,
had everything going his way now, importing to reports, this
(41:41):
relationship has been going on for a few months, but
he knew over the course of the last season this
was gonna be it. You know, the Jets retired him.
He lost his job. He doesn't have anything else. He
went from being a guy that the pinnacle of his profession.
And what was he doing after he was hanging out
with Pat McAfee, you know, throwing out some hot takes
like this is like, Hey, I'm in I'm in later
in life crisis right now? Is he driving a sting
(42:02):
right now? Like if he decided to, I'm gonna go
bump and drive the coolest car again. I'm gonna drive
a fifty seven Chevy You I'm gonna get a sixty
five Bustang, I'm gonna drive one of those babies now,
Like I feel like this is a the quintessential what's
a what's a mid life crisis type reaction to Hey,
I had everything great. Now my life is a mess.
I don't know what's going on and and here I am.
(42:23):
Now okay, I'm just gonna go out screw it. I'm
gonna do whatever the hell I want to do. I
don't care. I'm gonna date somebody who is I'm three
times as old as she is, and I'm gonna be
gonna walk outside seven o'clock in the morning without a
shirt on because you know, I didn't know about the
ring doorbell thing. That's a bit of technology. I didn't
really know.
Speaker 3 (42:42):
Hold on, no, okay, yeah, that's what it looks like.
Three times your age.
Speaker 1 (42:46):
Fine, what's the problem? And right, who's he hurting? Why
does this hurt you? Why hurt no? Psychology? This just
clearly scarred you. I'm like, go live your life.
Speaker 3 (42:58):
Right, You're not coaching now, You're not, as far as
I know, you're not entangled in any other thing to
where this is a illegal or or I mean, yes,
people go to the age difference. They'll go to the
signing of the homework and whatever else, and yeah, it's
a little huh interesting, but that's about as far as
(43:18):
it goes otherwise.
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Again, we live in southern California. We see this hundreds
of times every day if you're out and about in
any of these beach cities. So this is this is
normal behavior as opposed to wow, that's really an outlier,
or that he must be going through something terrible. What
if he's just been waiting on this for a while
when he singled up after that long relationship and said,
(43:42):
what the hell, let's let's go. So what I'm guessing
here is, since you're defending, you're either dating someone who's
ninety to make the or you're dating someone who's in
their early twenties. I've gotten neither of it.
Speaker 3 (43:55):
I'm just I think a realist in all of this.
That is, again, as long as you nobody's getting hurt
in the process, who the hell care? Is good for
him if he's happy and it's making him happy, even
if it's fleeting, you know, do you.
Speaker 1 (44:07):
Do your thing? Dude, it's still Come on, man, it's weird.
It's weird. It's not nice. It's not weird. Really, it's
not weird. It's not the ring doorbell getting out. I'd
like to know how that got it's handed over to
people and reporters.
Speaker 4 (44:20):
Was the window shut like good? He couldn't go out
the window. He had out the door, the window didn't.
Speaker 1 (44:27):
Open, or so it was painted shut. It was like
Aaron Paul, the first in the first breaking bed when
they're coming into the house and he's throwing all this
stuff out of the window, pants on and he's jumping back.
Speaker 4 (44:37):
We've all been there. This is this is what you
did when you were sixteen years old.
Speaker 1 (44:42):
Yeah, when you were sixteen, not when you were seventy two.
I mean, come on, man, Man, if I'm seventy two
and I got enough game and rap and I'm not,
you know, just hold up talking to you. Every night
you're going outside number books and high schools.
Speaker 3 (45:00):
If someone wants me to sign sign something, I'll be
happy to.
Speaker 1 (45:04):
Yeah, Hey, hey, where'd you meet Mike Harmon? Well he
signed my textbook on my flight my textbook because I'm
still in school and I'm still figuring out like people
for a long long time. Okay, okay, no, is it?
Is it illegal? No? Of course not. Have we seen
this before yet? Not as often as you think it is,
Like you thought, like like you, you see people every
single day walk, No, you don't. You hear about it
(45:25):
in in celebrities sometimes and it winds up going though.
I think you need to get out more. Here's Leonardo DiCaprio,
who's fifty and he's dating someone who's twenty.
Speaker 4 (45:33):
Five, Robert de Niro.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
Yeah, yeah, okay, so so because there's a handful of
celebrities who do that. Okay, great, share does it as well.
Speaker 3 (45:41):
We're really younger girls. Walk around your neighborhood, Smith, go
down by the.
Speaker 4 (45:45):
Beach, Come on, Belichick.
Speaker 1 (45:49):
Okay, okay, yes, because may not every time, any time
I see someone who is seventy romant with with their
romantic love interest who is twenty four. But here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (45:59):
Where are you drawing the line? I know like that,
that's basically what you're doing here. Now, Now where do
you draw the line? Is fifty acceptable? Or is that
still too young?
Speaker 1 (46:06):
It's still weird. Fifty it's still weird. It's still weird. Man, Hey,
are you you tell me this? If? If? When? When? When? If?
When one of your daughters is older, she's twenty four
years old, she brings almost seventy two year old guy,
what are you gonna say? Hey, look, I'm dating right now.
Speaker 3 (46:21):
I'm gonna ask a bunch of questions. Yeah, okay, see,
of course you are. I'm gonna ask the origin story.
But in the end, everybody makes their own mistakes. Everybody
has to forge their own lives. Okay, I'm not in
their lives at that point. Wait, so now could be
a mistake. You just said nothing was there was nothing wrong,
But now it could be a mistake.
Speaker 1 (46:40):
No, but you just said so.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
But I'm saying it could be. Here's a percentage chance
that it's a mistake. I'm not saying it's one hundred percent.
But in the moment, if that's how you're feeling, have
ad it.
Speaker 1 (46:50):
Who am I to judge? It's it, dude, it's it's
just weird. It's just weird. I mean, I can't believe.
You can't even you can't even give me that it's weird.
You oh yeah, yeah, okay, there was no When you
saw the story, you just turned the page and interesting,
that's it? Or did you go, wait, what the hell
is going on here? Literally I read it for about
eight seconds. I went, huh how about that?
Speaker 3 (47:10):
Watch the ring doorbell videos and now takes confidence get
after that again. I mean, we all have our fashion choices, shirtless,
non non shirtless, sleeves, no shirts, and.
Speaker 1 (47:22):
This show and this shows the progression of Belichick when
I tell you, because he went from a sweatshirt sweatshirt
with no sleeves now there's not even a shirt. I mean,
come on, and you see what's happening.
Speaker 3 (47:32):
To the guy I went to your questions. No sweatshirt with
no sleeves, no sleep shirt, and now no shirt.
Speaker 1 (47:38):
Man, that ain't mad? You not know we're not having
a heat wave. Have you not figured that out? I mean,
what's why he's outside with no shirt on? It's just hot,
it's hot. And he said, the hell with it. I'm
not even putting his shirt on. It's just it's just
I'm gonna walk outside with no shirt in the morning.
And guy, and go where I mean where you're gonna go? What?
Speaker 2 (47:58):
What?
Speaker 4 (47:58):
What?
Speaker 1 (47:58):
What is it in the morning. I'm gonna get up,
go outside and not have a shirt on. So when
people see me, and if someone sees me, they're gonna say, hey,
there's Bill Belichick. They wouldn't just say, oh, there's Bill Belichick.
Oh that's pretty cool. I'm wondering what he's here. He's no, Hey, Beligia.
You see that. It's hey, I saw Bill Belichick with
no shirt on.
Speaker 4 (48:15):
Jason. Maybe he thought that nobody would recognize him because
he normally wears the.
Speaker 1 (48:20):
Shirt potentially no hoodie.
Speaker 3 (48:22):
I mean, that would give you a little bit of cover,
at least for a couple of seconds.
Speaker 4 (48:26):
Belichick, he's not that big.
Speaker 1 (48:28):
He didn't have a hoodie on. I didn't see it.
He didn't have the jack. He didn't have a hoodie
drawn over his face like he did when they lost
to the Jets in the last game, when he walked
off the field for the last time. I don't know
that that's Belichick.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
I didn't see the red flag in his boot.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
No shirt and the red Maybe that's how he walked out.
He's got the red flack and it's sneaker. No, that's Belichick.
I can see the.
Speaker 4 (48:52):
Red flag throwing it at the neighbor across the street
looking at him.
Speaker 1 (48:58):
It's the longest toss. He's there. You go.
Speaker 3 (49:00):
Oh but the end, you know, good for him? Good
for him. Can we all find a little bit of happiness?
Okay along the way, we didn't get someone on Twitter.
Jeff rides in. He goes, wait, the age is your
this equation? I gotta I gotta find the full text here.
Speaker 1 (49:19):
It's half your age plus seven, so that the border
and the deadline for him is anybody at forty three? Okay,
So there you go. Forty three Okay.
Speaker 3 (49:30):
I don't know if that's science, not forty three, as
Frostburg would say, science. But if she's happy and he's happy,
can we all use a little bit of happiness.
Speaker 1 (49:41):
So you know happy Smith? Okay, this guy no, because listen,
you want to say the word science. Okay. I told
you when you go anti Grimace, bad things are going
to happen Anti Grimace twenty eight minutes ago telling me
the Grimmace error was over. What did I say? I
told him Otani going to strike out looking because he
(50:01):
went anti Grimace. Otani struck out looking. I gave him
a chance a few minutes ago. I said, hey, you
got a chance. You got runner at second two outs.
If you would re embrace the Grimace era, good things
are gonna happen. Frostburg wouldn't do it. Dodgers didn't score.
What just happened? The Rockies walk off with a sacrifice fly.
They beat the Dodgers seven six.
Speaker 4 (50:19):
Got nothing to do with Grimace, Mike Grimace. Johann Ramirez
is literally the worst grimm.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
The ex met Johann Ramirez.
Speaker 4 (50:26):
He was your best blank him.
Speaker 1 (50:28):
Grimace era is real. I don't need anything more than that.
Your favorite your favorite phrase, Frostburg is, it's science. This
is science. Man. You just saw what happened and you
still went anti Grimace.
Speaker 4 (50:40):
There's nothing I can do anymore. We killed him off.
Speaker 1 (50:42):
You can go back, No, you can come on bring.
It's like a I sure got that second mercy shot in.
Speaker 4 (50:49):
He was John wick ty shirt killing people.
Speaker 1 (50:51):
Off, and the show is like dying in a Marvel movie.
Are you're really dead? No, of course not. You come
back at some point when you want to make more
money or there, you know. Kevin Fige says, help, I
really screwed up a multiverse era. We need you to
come back, Robert, come on back. I want to shake
no exit out about a Fresca exit Swollen down The
(51:11):
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Garmin live
from the tirag dot com studios. Coming up next. Yeah,
Frostburg is gonna wear the Walk Off sacrifice file. We're
