Speaker 1 (00:53):
Welcome back to Mike Harmon, who decided, Hey, I gotta
go see the Stones one more time because Mick is
eighty one and I gotta go see it.

Speaker 6 (01:03):
So about it was more than I'm fifty and maybe
it's my last time?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
How about that? Wow? Why'd you get dark so fast?

Speaker 5 (01:10):
With that?

Speaker 6 (01:11):
I don't know you were killing off Mick Jagger. I
figured the world would mourn him more than me, Mick.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
Jim Well, sure, but Mick Jagger's eighty one. Yeah, I mean, I.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Didn't know you're gonna just get that much with it.
So it's a hell of a run.

Speaker 5 (01:24):
All right, Okay, how was the show?

Speaker 3 (01:26):
It was fantastic. Okay, all right, start to finish.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
I got a little little church like thing with the
Sweet Sounds of Heaven. We got a couple of songs
off the new album that everybody looking around going, I
don't know this.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Oh, that's great. They did songs off his is off
our new album. That's why I go to the bath
time to go to the bathroom.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
But it's one of those like if you look at
the grid, there's like ten songs that they play every.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Time out, uh huh, and then you mix it in.

Speaker 6 (01:52):
And they had a couple from the new album Anger
because the number one track that was the single, so
everybody got excited about that one. But then there's one
called bite my Head Off, which you know he cursed
a few times pretty good. And on the album version
it's actually Paul McCartney playing bass with the band, which
is cool. Darryl Jones did a fantastic job in instead,
but yeah, good show. Uh long drive so uh you

(02:13):
know many a weary mile on the open highways.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
You sure, yeah, no, I'm I'm I'm okay.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
You can't bear no, no, no, god you could you
know you you?

Speaker 3 (02:26):
I think you know the better way to say it,
so you can go ahead.

Speaker 7 (02:28):
It was hal of Graham Jogger last night.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
No, actually it was. They did a hell of a job.
Then it came along.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
You think mister Mick Jaggers would busy being a rock
and roll star when he is forty years old.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
You are sadly stuff.

Speaker 7 (02:45):
Like that weekend at Bernie for a couple of years now.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
By the way, that's actually the best line Jimmy Fallon's
ever had in his entire career.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
One quoted from almost Famous. Now.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
And here's the thing, because I hope it was worth it,
because you missed the first three pointer in the career
of Brodny James, because you wanted to go see this stuff.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'll tell you what I didn't. I gotta go the notification.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
I got the notification as I sat in my seat,
and I go, oh, it's happening.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
It's all happening.

Speaker 5 (03:15):
You missed it.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I mean, Rich Ornberger and I are best friends now because,
as he said last night, Jason, we're gonna share this
experience for the remainder.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Of our lives.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
And I said, you're right, Rich And then he hit
another one, like to cement the bond, and I'm like,
I should be here with Harmon, but I'm not. And
Harmon decided, no, no, I need to go see the
Rolling Stones, who have never even as much as sent
me a card. And I'm missing Bronnie James's first three
pointer of his nbaker.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
The guy was zero for.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Fifteen, and you decided, oh no, I don't need to work.
I don't need to see this bit of NBA history,
something we have never seen before ever.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
You decided, no, no, I'm going to go to the
Stones instead.

Speaker 5 (03:54):
You missed.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Allow me to retorts.

Speaker 6 (03:57):
Checked the odds, and the odds of him actually hitting
it through were so astronomical I thought I was safe.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
No, no, come on, now, it wasn't like Alex Saar
hitting a shot astronomically.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
He was going to hit one eventually. I think he
woted it to a mirror.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
I liked that they got it right back to him
for the you know, the the heat check is he is,
he gonna.

Speaker 5 (04:16):
Be on fire?

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Now give it to him again, give it to him.

Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yeah, I mean you knew at some point.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I mean you you needed to stay until he hit
his three and then go do some stuff.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
It's the summer, I get there.

Speaker 7 (04:26):
Being Mike, We've had big moments on the show, but
none bigger than last night.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
I mean that we broke it. We broke into a
commercial to air that. Really, oh, we're not even allowed
to air it. Frostburg said, no, play it, just play it,
and we played it.

Speaker 5 (04:38):
It was amazing.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
Oh actually Jason said to play it.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
But yeah no, but Frostburg is the guy that press
and ty Shirt pressing the button, So there was that Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
You strong armed them into doing that.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
No, Well, I said, listen, this is that kind of
big moment I made.

Speaker 5 (04:51):
We were playing a commercial.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
I said, no break in, play that jumper, and we
played it.

Speaker 7 (04:56):
You also missed ty Shirt eat Jason's flatbread.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, there was a big There was a big food
thing that happened the end of last night that I'm
not real happy about.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
I'm a little butt used.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, yeah, food last night now here, I'll go out. Listen,
we gotta get into Hulkogin.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
But let me and then I leave, and then you
order food.

Speaker 6 (05:14):
So, just like Brownie James hitting a shot, food miracles happened.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
We had food.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Go right, okay, sure, okay, yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:25):
Uh so we get food.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Tyser says, hey, I ordered that flatbread because we talked
about getting the flatbread from cheesecake Factory. And I said yeah, great, yeah,
he goes yes so and ty Shirt's word, so we
could try it. Yes, outstanding. So the food comes. I
eat my food. I don't go in and glut and eye.
I wait, I digest an hour or so, goes by.
I want to say, hey, I want to try a
piece of that flatbread. And Tyser looks at me and goes,

(05:47):
oh jas And I look over and it is gone.
Ate the entire thing. Ordered it for us on my
credit card, and then ate the entire So he had
two meals in the time it took me to have
one meal, a meal that he said, hey, this is
for us, Okay, great, Hey, ty shit, I don't know.
I don't know the girl your dating's been dating for
a little while. I think that's a warning sign. That's

(06:07):
a warning sign, right.

Speaker 8 (06:08):
I think the warning sign is Jason, you are a foodie?

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Right?

Speaker 8 (06:10):
Is that what you like to say about yourself?

Speaker 5 (06:12):
That's one?

Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yes, I am okay.

Speaker 9 (06:13):
So how does a food in my Carmen come in
here for an hour and a half and never once
asked like, hey man, so is the pizza here? You
didn't even bring it up because I had my.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
Food I digested.

Speaker 1 (06:22):
I wanted to wait and then get the and then
get the great experience. Let my palate cleanse and then
get the experience when you walked in here, No, nu,
but that was a night. This was three hours later,
one story here.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
Three hours later, three hours later, we.

Speaker 7 (06:40):
Were you kidding? You don't digest?

Speaker 1 (06:42):
I didn't. Yeah, I'm like a lizard. I'm like a snake.
It just goes right through my body and then.

Speaker 7 (06:46):
Just like a burger eating guy from Popeye.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
I would gladly pay you two dollars for a hamburger today.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
So again, so you missed some stuff last night because
you had to go see the start of stuff.

Speaker 5 (06:57):
Yeah, no, it's good and you missed Bronni. So congratulations.

Speaker 6 (07:00):
I got to hang out with my daughters and celebrate
some good times. On the road with some wonderful singalongs,
and yeah, no.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
That's great.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
You miss Brownie's three. You miss Bronnie's That's all. That's
all you need to know. You know what, Eventually he'll
hit another one.

Speaker 6 (07:10):
May not be tonight, He's oh for one from three
point range when.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Your kids are slamming the door in your face after
an argument, just remember, I missed Bronnie James's.

Speaker 5 (07:20):
Three for this.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
I miss Bronnie James hitting it three for this.

Speaker 5 (07:25):
This is what I missed it.

Speaker 6 (07:26):
Yeah, if if I get to that point, but I've
really hit a sad low in my exist.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
But look, we have some big stuff to get to tonight. Obviously,
we have the big Russell Westbrook Trade. We have the
big w NBA drama at the All Star break and oh,
by the way, how great is that that we're going
to talk about the w NBA at the break like a.

Speaker 5 (07:46):
State of the Union.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
However, we can't not play Hulk Hogan at the Republican
National Convention tonight.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
We cannot.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
He's on stage endorsing former President Trump and and it
was all day I'm going, what is he going to say?
How is he gonna say? It is he gonna be
somewhat reserved. Is he gonna be Hulk Hogan? Like, what
is Hulk Hogan going to be here? So this is
Hulk from about an hour or so ago on stage
at the RNC when.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
They took a shot and my hero.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
And they tried to kill the next president of the
United States.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
No blaws enough up on May Day, it goes the
shirt brother, and there goes the shirt roll again.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
There goes the shirt night.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Cry again.

Speaker 5 (08:44):
Here comes Paul Orndorf coming out of coming out of
the side.

Speaker 7 (08:47):
He's gonna hit him with the poses.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
There's me and Gena Jesse Venture ready to do the
analysis like it was exactly what you thought it was
gonna be, Like the the only thing that would have
made it amazing.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
I just think about this just from a WW perspective.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Right, he goes up, he endorses Trump, right, but then
in the middle he turns heel and like he rips
off his shirt and instead it says Biden.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Harris twenty do or Harris TBA twenty whatever.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
And he pulls that off and he turns heel right
in the middle, and then somebody else comes out and
then there's a big fight and everybody.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
I mean, how what if what if that was what
it was?

Speaker 5 (09:25):
What if Colgan said.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Well, you know, you think I'm gonna come out here
and do my thing in Hulka mania and all this
and that? No, no, no, what if we really what
if we really went deep on this? What if we
really scripted this thing out and in the middle of
my speech, I turned heel and suddenly it's it's no
holds Barden, it's videos. It's hologram Rowdy Roddy Piper who
is coming in here? And hologram macho Man's had too

(09:47):
many holograms. Hologram macho man Savage coming in Now, that
would have been an event.

Speaker 6 (09:51):
It does have us recognize that, you know, Hogan one
of the few standing from that era when you keep
referencing holograms.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
But I know, it's like he's going to be the
last one standing. It's like it's gonna be hulking And Okay,
it's all.

Speaker 6 (10:04):
Those years of training, saying his prayers and eating his
vitamins working well. Although he did struggle with getting the
shirt off today.

Speaker 5 (10:11):
Yeah he did.

Speaker 9 (10:11):
No.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
And when I say he was taking his shirt off,
like oh.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, no, no, no, he really was rinking his shirt
off like he really was doing it, like he but
he did look because Hulk Cogan's in his seventies now.
So he took off his jacket, then he took off
then he ripped off his shirt and then he had
his that then he had his other shirt on, and
I'm like, this is.

Speaker 5 (10:29):
This is just unbelievable.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
Guys, like he just slammed the Andre the.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Giant, Yeah, the Giant brother.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
But that's what he said going in tonight, It's gonna
this is going to be more exciting for me than
when I body slammed Andre the Giant and was WrestleMania.

Speaker 6 (10:45):
Two, I think, or back to Theresa three, go back
to three until yeah, it's what's that that was?

Speaker 5 (10:53):
That was WrestleMania three? What the whole world.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Is coming to see? Like that was the tag that I.

Speaker 6 (10:58):
Remember such a big rampway that they had to put
the guys on carts instead of having them run up
the aisle and whatever.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
It's just kind of crazy.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
But yeah, so so for this one, I like the idea,
you know, really do a full on work, just figure
who's on the other side that you gotta gotta get
on board. But you know, electrified. The crowd certainly got
enough social media impressions to give it some juice. But yeah,
the tearing of the shirt was a little sad.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
But I gotta ask you a question, because it was
it wasn't It wasn't quite.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
The beat obviously.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Look, he's not in his thirties or forties when he
could just like move his muscles and it would rip.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Do you think the T shirt was pre ripped?

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Oh? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Do you think it was always it was ripped already
at some point because it comes off pretty you know,
like right down the middle, like when you rip a
T shirt. Like if I ripped a T shirt, I
ripped it off, like it would be to the side,
it would be the material would stretch.

Speaker 5 (11:50):
This was like a clean.

Speaker 1 (11:51):
Pole right down the middle. So I don't I look
at it and I go, I think that thing was
pre ripped.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh, I agree with you. It's not.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
It's not quite velcrow pulled together, but you know, something
like that. But the other thing is he's coming out
with a suit coat. It's like people sitting on sports
TV sitting with suitcoats and ties, don't do it doesn't
make any sense.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Yeah, when he's wearing the suit coat. You know what's
coming off? You know it's okay? You really the pretense?

Speaker 3 (12:16):
Man?

Speaker 5 (12:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:17):
I mean really, I really thought he would come out
and if like, okay, he's gonna do this. But like
if he wore a jacket that was sleeveless, Like if
he had he had the big expensive jacket but it
was sleeveless.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Did you get one of those yet? No?

Speaker 5 (12:28):
I wish? Oh du do you kidding? I don't know
when I wear that all the time.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
I'm not a big guy that dresses up, so I
don't know if I would do that, But man, I
would like to a wedding or something. Oh yes, sure,
like if that was acceptable, yeah, one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Get a couple. What's that a matter whether it's acceptable,
it's whether you feel comfortable. Yeah, everybody else with you.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
But I want to take pictures with people. It's other people.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
I'm not saying you, you'll be the guy remembered forever. Yeah,
but I'm wearing it to somebody else's wet.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Every bride is the star of her web.

Speaker 6 (12:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
Yeah, they can photo shop your ass out of every
photo that want.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
If they're uncomfortable with it, get that guy out, you
mean the guy that did the ceremony for us.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
Yeah, get him out.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
He grace that guy.

Speaker 6 (13:07):
He he wore the sleeveless stop that had fringe attached
and a bunch of sparkles.

Speaker 3 (13:12):
Get him out of here.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
I mean, I really, I don't know how you taught this.
I really wanted to see. I mean, there's got I said,
there's gotta be something else with this show.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
There's gotta be something.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
But it's I mean, it's because it's Hulk and it's Hey,
what about He'll Billy Jim. Could he have gotten in
somewhere somebody else?

Speaker 5 (13:31):
I mean, I mean, I.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Don't know his holograms, hologram Iron Chic, I mean, too
many holograms.

Speaker 5 (13:35):
But like all these guys, could have gotten involved somewhere.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
I will say this, the Iron Chik's Twitter account was
still active with the man always uh Ever Present, Black
the Hogan.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
I'll tell you.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
I'll tell you if Iron Cheek was still with I mean,
how how all of a sudden he shows up and
you know, he starts that heat on. He grabs a
microphone for hug heat on, no better vun heat on.
Matter of fun, he's got the big curled toad boots
on that he's walking around and say, now we're gonna
do this at Summer Slam, brother, and then and then

(14:08):
the speech ends right and instead of going to Fox
News or seeing whoever's running it and said, it just
cuts to me Gene Oakland, who says, there it is
August the twenty second in Detroit at the Silver Home.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
For the bout coming on and I'll get twenty seconds.

Deadly Sins, I'll let you see it because I knew
she didn't know them, and she gave me six of them,
and the only one she didn't get was gluttony. So

(18:31):
I dodged that bullet for a little bit long. But
she did not get.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Goes, oh gluttony what what is?

Speaker 5 (18:36):
What is gluttony?

Speaker 1 (18:37):
So it's a mustard they put on you see gluttony,
you know, but she did. But I was like, oh,

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Well, were you confusing it with chutney?

I said, Wow, she's got pride, she's got sloth, she's
got luffed. Okay, oh wow, I might have to allow
her to what Nope, Nope, couldn't get gluttony.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Here go ahead.

Speaker 7 (18:56):
It's what tysher does when he eats flat bread.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
And there's oh when I see it and a dictionary
dot com The picture is actually Tyshirt eating flatbread.

Speaker 8 (19:04):
Do they have the stash or not?

Yeah, habitual greed or excess in eating.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
And there it is Tyshirt just wolfing down, getting getting

Let me Alex Tyscher there.

Speaker 3 (19:38):

Speaker 5 (19:45):
It just knows it's good.

Speaker 8 (19:47):
It's that's so much gluttny going on there, Jason.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
No, not enough apparently because you didn't know what it was.
So we gotta have more. I have to get more
food when I go to McDonald's all the time.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
How are those actu cheese cheese balls?

Speaker 5 (20:01):
Once?

Speaker 3 (20:02):
You didn't have any flatbread?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
No, I didn't because I didn't have time to heat
it up. Because I didn't it was ten thirty. I'm like,
I'm just gonna take him home, and I was mad,
and I was mad. And here's the other part. Here's
the other part. Right, Yeah, we ordered the food last night.
Who do you think did Tyser gave it? Gave a
piece of flatbread to Martin. White's got a piece of
flat bread. I didn't get a piece.

Speaker 5 (20:18):
Oh here take it? No?

Speaker 1 (20:19):
No should I ask Jason? Hey you want that piece?
I said we'd get it because you and I were
gonna split it. No, here you go, Martin, here's a
piece of flatbread for you.

Speaker 5 (20:26):
Go ahead take it.

Speaker 9 (20:27):
Well, catching strays freaking pizza now, okay.

Speaker 5 (20:33):
Frostburg would have had some too, except there was cheese
on it. He couldn't eat it.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
You know, you know, he would have found a way
scrape all of that off. And I'll find a way
to eat that and make sure nothing happens to me.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
It's gonna cheve that back. Yeah, that's what happened. That's
what happened on the night you were gone.

Speaker 8 (20:46):
I was just eating pieces for Mike. Okay, sure sure?

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Now hey, speaking of harmon, Now there could be a
thing here because you might actually be the brownie James Jinks.
Because right now Lakers are down to Cleveland Summer League sixteen. Fine,
Bronnie James has not hit a three tonight, So every
night you have worked, he has not hit a three.
He was oh for seventeen from the floor. He is
Alex Sar. He is oh for seventeen from the floor

(21:11):
from three point range. Nights you don't work. He had
two threes. So I think you're the Jinks.

Speaker 6 (21:15):
Let me put it this way. Uh, if they want
to offer a buyout, we can talk.

Speaker 7 (21:21):
Ayson.

Speaker 5 (21:22):
Yeah, what do you got for us?

Speaker 7 (21:23):
On what point does Clutch Sports call Julie Talbot?

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Oh yeah, yeah, go, hey, we got you got to
get this guy off the ABB. But he can work
on the Knights of the Lakers don't play, and that's
regular season or G league, because we don't know where
Bronny's gonna be. But he can't have games where he
can't hit threes. We gotta make sure that happens. So
that's like three nights a week.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
You'll be off, buddy nice And look if they haven't
called on some of the takes I've had about the
Clutch Sports lebron world. Uh, if this is the thing
that pushes it over, I'm ready for my my, my
close up I've leaned out a little bit, I shaved earlier.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
I'm ready to go. Let's go.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
Well, speaking of Bronnie James games, the odds on him
winning Rookie of the Year have now skyrocketed. Now, Zach
Edy is the consensus betting favorite at sportsbooks for Rooie
of the Year. He's had a pretty big start to
his Summer League career and Edies was a guy who
boy two time Player of the Year. But does his
game dominate or does a translate? And he's been pretty
good so far, so okay. However, more bets have been

(22:22):
placed on Bronnie James to win Rookie of the Year
than any other player at multiple sports books, even more
than Alex Sar. Here's more bets on Browny to win
Rookie of the Year than Alex Sar to hit a
field goal.

Speaker 5 (22:36):
Right, So that's how big a deal it is.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Bet MGM took a thousand dollars bet a few days ago.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
DraftKings says Listen.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
EDI's attracting more money, but more people are betting on
Bronnie James to win Rookie of the Year than anybody else. Now,
what's the big takeaway? Because this is a big deal obviously, right.
The big takeaway is this, Man, I wish I ran
a sports book. Take all of those odds. Yeah, what
do you want? Yeah, you want who wants to bet
on Bronnie James. I will take that action. Come on,
come on, I will take that action of Bronnie James

(23:07):
winning Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Come on, give it to me.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Anything you want, and I will take your money and
I will spend it right away. I'm not even gonna
put it into account saying okay at the end of
the year when they award it, then I'm.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Gonna field John.

Speaker 11 (23:17):
No.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
I will cash that stuff right away and I will
just be I'll start buying stuff straight up.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
I'll be wearing fur coats to work.

Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, look at it.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
I'll have crazy ass jaunty hats. I'll buy new car
I'll be wearing platform boots.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
What's this.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
It's all the money that I got from people betting
on Bronnie James to win Rookie of the Year. It's
not happening, and sportsbooks are more than happy to take
all of your money.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
I mean it.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
If I could find a way to do a pop
up sportsbook stand, I would go downtown stand outside of
the crypt, and I would go here taking bets on
Brinnie to win Rookie of the Year. And I'll do
it every single day of the year, every day until
people say no one's bet with me. In the last
like three and a half weeks. Now it's look going
to show up. Maybe it's a three at some point,
maybe it's on the court, and I will make all
kinds of money on that. This is free money for sportsbooks.

(24:01):
You want to bet on Bronnie to win Rookie of
the Year, go ahead, you got it.

Speaker 5 (24:05):
Well.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
When we went to Ireland, we went out to the
racetrack and they actually do have where you can bet,
you know, like traditional standing and going to go up
to the counter and everything, but they also have an
area where all the different proprietors and betting shops are open,
so they have their own odds and their own tote
boards and you go bet with them individually, and you

(24:25):
can literally walk around and shop odds here For Bronnie James,
everybody's two hundred and fifty to three hundred to one.
But I would really love to see Jason Smith and saying,
come on, load it up, I'm take it off like
the fantasy owner that collects everybody's money is like, I'm
gonna win the league. Either that or I can use
their money for six months before I have to worry.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
Hey, where's that money?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
Well, I really thought I was gonna win the league,
so I uh, I spent that catch When do I
get it?

Speaker 5 (24:54):
Yeah, it's un boy, you'll get it. Don't worry, it's unboil,
you'll get it. That's up on.

Speaker 6 (24:57):
I need a few days, and then you start giving
an itemized list for all the flatbreads and sandwiches.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
But that six months ago you already got paid out. Pal,
you already got paid out.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
I mean, I get that. You're looking for a long shot.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Everybody falls in love with the storyline of here's Bronnie,
but really, just think about this for a second. Bronnie
would have to find his way to regular minutes, okay,
which is not happening. He's gonna be a guy that's
not gonna start. Is he really going to start? No,
he's not going to start. He's gonna come off the bench.
Even in a best case scenario. Is he gonna play

(25:33):
enough minutes to win Rookie? To just be honest, I
get that you're, hey, we're gonna throw here, and I'm
gonna throw a hundred bucks down, and there's just in
case something crazy happens. But you look at the guys
are gonna come in, the rookies, henna come in and
start and play right away, like you really think, Bronnie sad.

Speaker 5 (25:47):
You're just taking money and saying, here, go ahead, just
take it from me. Now. I don't want it back.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
I just want to be able to walk around and
have the social currency that I could say to my friends, Yeah,
you know, I bet on Bronnie James win Rookie of
the Year. Really, why would you do that? Well, come on,
don't I sound cool? No, you sound stupid. You sound
like you sound cool for about four seconds and then
everybody realizes, oh, you just flutch whatever that money was away?

Speaker 5 (26:07):
How much was it? Was it fifty? Was it a
hundred bucks? What?

Speaker 1 (26:10):
What was what was the money you've You could have
bought tacos, you could have done something, and instead you
just decided I'm gonna give money to a casino who
smiled and took it from you. I don't even know
if I think you have to go to these sports
books and say, hey, we got to make sure that
you're taking enough money. Because if I was working a
sportsbook and they didn't have a camera on me, or
i'd go in the morning, I would make sure the
camera wasn't working, and I would just take the money

(26:30):
and go, yeah, great, this on Bronnie James Brook.

Speaker 5 (26:32):
Here's your receipt.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
Great, and I just put that money in my pocket.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
I would and I would waddle out of the sports
book at the end to by shift. Hey, how come
be waddling out? Ah, I just don't. I don't feel good.
I'm a little heavy. I'm kind of moving on back
problems now, Yeah all that. How is the action today?

Speaker 5 (26:46):
Yeah? No, everything's in there. People bet on Bronnie.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Nah nah.

Speaker 5 (26:49):
I didn't get a lot of people on that.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
And I would walk out with all that cash and go,
oh man, I'm a millionaire.

Speaker 5 (26:54):
I'm going to police. I'm good. You're never gonna see
me again.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
I'm taking all this Brownie money and I'm going on
a lifetime vake.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
I did that.

Speaker 6 (27:01):
It made it sound like you were walking around with
pockets full of two pound coins, like you just visited
the UK or something weighing you down. Instead of the
paper bills. But yeah, it's the social currency. I think
some of it becomes the ideria. You know, guys running
their mouth talking about how great the James dynasty will

(27:21):
be and how Lebron's gonna pass it down to Browny.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (27:25):
I hope he becomes a serviceable pro player. There's little
bits and pieces of his game that you know, you
can bring along and we don't need to re relitigate
that here. But in terms of placing the bet, yeah,
it's like you got bullied into it or you just
like burning money.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
I mean, just think about this. There's guys in Summer
League that dominate. I mean that absolutely dot look like
Dalton connects second game, but look at twenty points seven assistant.
There's guys that show up and absolutely dominate in Summer
League and they can't even rotation when it happens for real.
All right, here's Brownie James, who can't score more than

(28:04):
six or seven points in a game, you know, playing
twenty twenty five minutes against other guys who aren't very good.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Right, It's not like, oh, hey, well, you know it's
too bad.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
He's going up against all the best players the Cavaliers
have No, when you're a rookie and you're a second
round pick and you're going up against other rookies who
are also second round picks, and you can't dominate against them,
never mind the better rookies that are playing, or the
guys who dominate in summer league and can't dominate in
the pros when he gets to the regular season, What.

Speaker 5 (28:31):
Are you really doing? Really? What? What are you really
going to be doing here?

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Seriously?

Speaker 1 (28:35):
I would take that money and I would put in
my pocket up. Yeah, here's your receipt, don't worry about Yes,
when he wins, come see me. I'll make sure you
get your money.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
Yeah, yes, see that moddy.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
But watching these games, right, there's a guy they drafted
last year named Maxwell Lewis, fortieth pick overall a year ago,
and he's had some big flashy moments, some big flashy
scoring plays, and it's uneven overall, but he's had enough
jgitimate highlight reel. Now we're picking through and trying to
find a couple because we need to sell, sell, sell,

(29:06):
But is he making the roster. No, No, he's probably
gonna be looking for another team, or he's gonna be
on one of these bounce back and forth, break class
in case of emergency, get to the end of the
roster kind of situations. But he's a great example of
summer league and we get excited about guys and their talent,
recognizing again who you're playing against, and not to besmirch anybody.

(29:30):
They all, uh, they all signed pro deals.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
I did not.

Speaker 6 (29:34):
However, we can all, uh, I think, come to an
agreement that there are giant dividing points levels, as it were,
between you know, being good in summer league and being
a functional in season NBA players. That's a dramatic leap
for a lot of these guys that they're never gonna make.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
But Dan ask that we're gonna bet it and enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Now let me let me ask you this, Yeah, what
is what is a longer time to realize you made
a big mistake the time it takes you realize betting
on Bronnie to win Rookie of the Year when you
thought it was gonna be cool and you're gonna get
that social currency and people told you you're crazy, or
like when you catch a home run ball in the
outfield but it's the visiting team and everybody yells you

(30:18):
to throw it back and you're like yeah, and you
throw it back and then you.

Speaker 5 (30:21):
Realize I caught a home run ball and I threw
it back? What the hell did I do?

Speaker 1 (30:25):
How long until you realize what you did was really
not smart?

Speaker 3 (30:29):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (30:29):
Bronnie is at the home run? What is it?

Speaker 1 (30:31):
How much time lapses until which one is the shortest
amount of time until you realize I really shouldn't have done.

Speaker 6 (30:37):
That well, Bronnie, because you knew you shouldn't have before
you even put the money down. The other guy might
just be goaded in, and maybe there's a big, threatening
individual right next to them that wants to throw them
onto the field, so you get intimidated. You got the
bully pulpit of all of these folks yelling at you.
The other is you just willingly stupidly opened your wallet

(30:57):
or money clip or whatever you're carrying, or reached into
your pocket, and you sacrificed, as you said, a burrito
or tacos or something of goods and services that you'll
be able to enjoy versus Yeah, I'm never getting.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
That back exit out about a fresco exit swollen down
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon Live from the
tyreck dot Com studios. Now to a guy who's got
everything that's trending in the wide world of sports and
still a full belly from his piece of flatbread last night.

Speaker 3 (31:25):
It's Martin Weiss with what's trended?

Speaker 8 (31:27):
You know, Harmon.

Speaker 4 (31:28):
I wasn't even consulted about the food order. So I
think what Alex did was, as I said yesterday, heroic
to make sure that I was not over here in
this glass case of emotion starving.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
Did you mind up getting it rolling food? You got food,
you got food, you got fat.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
It happened, It did, It did.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
And Brady James, well, he hit a three last night.
But Harmon's at work today, so he's over two three
from the floor in eighteen minutes of play for eight points,
three rebounds, three assists, two blocks.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
How about that? Two terribles as well.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
At Cavaliers lead the Lakers seventy four to seventy one
in a riveting edition of the NBA Summer League with
nine to sixteen left in the fourth quarter. Earlier today,
Wizard's number two overall pick Alexander shar He had a
rough one. He finished with two points on one for
six from the floor that makes him. That means he's
hit one shot in his last twenty one.

Speaker 5 (32:21):
Attempts, So there you go.

Speaker 4 (32:24):
Clippers are trading guard Russell Westbrook in a second round,
picking cash to the Utah Jazz that assigned the trade
for Chris Dunn. Westbrook expected to agree to a contract
buyout and eventually sign with the Nuggets of Note. Westbrook's
contract right now is about four million dollars.

Speaker 5 (32:39):
Buy that out.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
Alabama plans to honor the former coach Nick Saban by
naming its football playing field for him at Bryant Denny Stadium.
The Jacksonville Jaguars suit Amid Patel. He's a staffer who
stole twenty two million dollars from the team in a
three and a half year period to payoff gambling debts
and fund a life of luxury. He's now being shoed
for sixty six point six million dollars and damages in

(33:02):
Florida State Court. Daniel Brown six under leaves they're opened
after the first round. Shane Lowry's, Andersaw, Fla brooks Keptka,
and Scott Scheffler all under right now. Tiger Woods eight
over Roy McRoy seven over Bryson Deshambo five over at
the end of the first round. Like I just said,
Dolphins place linebackers Bradley Chubb and Jalen Phillips on the

(33:22):
pup list, and the Sant Petersburg City Council approved plans
for the raised, newth one point three billion dollar stadium.
It will have thirty thousand seats, a fixed roof, and
scheduled to be ready for opening day.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
And you know, Mike, I got to ask you, what
would you do if you were sued for damages upwards
of sixty six million dollars.

Speaker 6 (33:45):
I'd go find all the people that want to bet
on Brownie James, and I find them up and just
turn their pockets over.

Speaker 5 (33:53):
Jason, I bike back to you, guys, thanks about mart.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
You'd never see Harmon again. That's what happened.

Speaker 8 (33:58):
I will disappear myself.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
I'd get a frantic text, would say take care of
my kids.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
I'll text you in a few years. Wait what, and
he would be gone.

Speaker 6 (34:07):
He's on the winds hanging out in SAWANTNAO.

Speaker 3 (34:13):
I do like that.

Speaker 6 (34:14):
We've now become the show of record to make sure
that SARS stat blinds get.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
Pummeled, watches everybody else.

Speaker 6 (34:21):
Hey, look over here, stop falling from the banana and
the tailpipe with Ronnie.

Speaker 5 (34:26):
Look over here? He hit a shot? Is he not
hit a shot? What's happened? What do we have?

Speaker 3 (34:30):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Coming up next? We had a big trade today, but
was it really a big trade? And therein lies the
game that's next? Right here, Jason and Mike, you're listening
to Foxes.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
It is the Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon Loft atthtirack dot com studios. We got big
second hand predictions for Major League Baseball coming up in
a few minutes. But big trade went down today in
the NBA. We got Rick Buker dropping by coming up
in about a half hour to talk about it with us.

(35:11):
Russell Westbrook is now out in Los Angeles. He is
joining the Nuggets after the Clippers and Jazz made a
trade earlier today Utah waiving. The former MVP, will buy
out the remainder of his contract. He will clear waivers
and join the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets have said Look,
we've been in the market for another point guard. We

(35:33):
lost a couple of guys in the offseason. Casey he left,
Reggie Jackson left. It's like the same guys that Russell
Rustbrook was with in Oklahoma City, which is following them.

Speaker 5 (35:41):
All over there.

Speaker 6 (35:42):
Yeah, here's cac B, Here's Reggie Jackson, here's all this. Well,
they laid the groundwork for him to come in and
do his magic.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
So Westbrook is going to head to Denver Nuggets GM
Calvin Booth saying on Tuesday, we need help in the backcourt.
We're gonna try and continue to identify that and survey
the mark. If we can add a high level guard,
we'll be happy with it. Now, it's not like the
Jazz have to buy out a lot of money. It's
four million dollars for sure.

Speaker 5 (36:08):
For Russell.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
It's not like, oh, we're buying him out of thirty
five million. But you know, I you know, with this
this story comes out today and yes, is it is
it a big trade because Russell Westbrook once again got traded?

Speaker 5 (36:21):
Yeah? But is Russell Westbrook?

Speaker 3 (36:24):
I mean, honestly, is Russell Westbrook still a guy that go?
Whoa man?

Speaker 1 (36:28):
We went I looked at the back of his basketball card.
You look at what he's been able to do over
the course of his career, what a great player like
This is one of those moves where it's okay, it's
a depth move for Denver and I get it. And
in the mile high altitude, maybe his his his brand,
his style of play is going to exhaust people, because
it might and him playing seventeen to twenty two minutes

(36:49):
a night off the bench, Okay, that might work a
little bit, but this is not one of those, Hey,
the Nuggets just put themselves back in the NBA Finals
moves like it's a nice depth move and that's kind
of where it's at. And yes, the big names going
on right now, we see them. Yeah they're big because
you want to look at the back of the basketball
card and it seems great. But Russell Westbrook moving at
this point, it's like, yeah, okay, I mean, I don't

(37:12):
think we're gonna be a year from now, we're gonna
be saying, man, you know what we didn't think about.
If we didn't think about Russell Westbrook joining, what a
big deal that was gonna be. And I say this
fully remembering that it was just a month ago, Horace said,
you know, if you told me we'd be here in
the NBA Final, saying, boy, Chris Toms, Porzenkis is the
reason the Celtics. No, I get it, but that's not
gonna that's not gonna happen here. Porzinkis was always somebody

(37:34):
who the question was, Hey, is he ever gonna be healthy?
If he's healthy, terrific. But this is Westbrook who has
been on a downward spiral. Now, the guy's in his
mid thirties. He's not the same guy. He comes off
the bench. He's an energy player. Look, if the Clippers
really thought they were right to continue to build around him,
they would have done it. I like this move by
the Clippers. I like them moving on the need to

(37:54):
move on from this entire semblance of the realm they
had here. Look they move from Paul George and Westbrook. Okay,
that's great. Now they're still stuck with Kawhi and James
hard but at least you got rid of two of
the guys.

Speaker 5 (38:05):
So okay. I think this is a much.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Better move for the Clippers, and moving on from Russell
Westbrook and the move for the Nuggets.

Speaker 3 (38:11):
I feel like mah, Okay, they need a guy.

Speaker 5 (38:14):
Okay, got a guy come and play in minutes.

Speaker 3 (38:16):
Okay, they got Russell Westbrook. That's kind of where I
kind of just shrugged my shoulders at it.

Speaker 6 (38:20):
Yeah, you've got Taylor Swift still embarking on her eras tour,
the Clippers clearly deciding that the street lights instead of
spotlight era is ending a bit here. Yeah, you still
got two of those four big names, but trying to
reconstitute the roster and see what you can do moving forward.
I'm curious with them in Denver right when we talk

(38:40):
about guys getting added for depth, recognizing where you're at.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
In the career and what you can do.

Speaker 6 (38:47):
Right, he wasn't a disruptor, and I mean that in
the most positive of ways for the Clippers right on
the court. Still had some moments along the way. This
isn't like hit and rewind when he was at the
other locker room at the Crypt. But yeah, it's a
whole lot of Yeah, it's been a nice career. Now
we just add another jersey like the Shack Tour. At

(39:09):
the end of his career, where's he at now? I
don't even know he signed with another team. Okay, great,
and then he can have a giant jersey wall or
a jersey quilt made, which is all the rage right now,
you know, with concert t shirts and your own things
that you've done in your life, and you say, hey,
let's put all these together.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
And now we've got a memory thing for the dog
to steal. Ah, you can do that gets you?

Speaker 5 (39:30):
That's nice?

Speaker 1 (39:31):
Hey, you know, and that's one of those like, hey,
I found a quilting store that will do that for
you want to pay him. It's like one hundred and
seventy five bucks and you just bring him the stuff
and they'll.

Speaker 5 (39:39):
Do it for you. Don't have to do it yourself anymore.

Speaker 6 (39:41):
Yeah, you know what the cost of the it's the convenience, right.
I may like the idea, but if I don't have
to do the work, how much am I paying.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
Myself an hour? Smith?

Speaker 6 (39:51):
That's hours? I can watch Brownie James, not Hit threes.
I can watch reruns of some show that I didn't
like the first time, or I can you know, read
a book.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Okay, First of all, you were good until you said
read a book. Secondly, yes, yes, your time is way
more valuable, was way more valuable.

Speaker 6 (40:09):
Unless you really like quilting, then have at it, go
go nuts. But I guess the point is with Westbrook,
he's a jag at this point, right, I mean, he's
an extra piece and maybe you get a couple of
big games where he impacts the outcome, and.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
That's the thing. If something happens. He's a nice little
reserve piece. But again, it's the expiration date for Russell
Westbrook as has passed.

Speaker 5 (40:35):
But we got more on this, babe.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe Rick Bucker has a different take
on We'll talk to him coming up in a half hour,
but straight ahead, big and fearless MLB predictions for the
second half of the season coming up next.

Speaker 3 (40:46):
This is Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Just picturing Harmon like quilting, and it's purple and it's
all pictures of former Northwestern legends in front of him.

Speaker 8 (40:56):
After the flatbreads.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
There be sure to catch live editions of The Jason
in Smith's Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern,
seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio
app Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (41:09):
It is The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Hart.

Speaker 5 (41:14):
Happy Thursday.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
Mike Harmon back after his one day, sojourned because he
had to go see the Rolling Stones and concert one
more time. Had to see eighty one year old Mick
Jagger on stage.

Speaker 3 (41:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (41:26):
Yeah, you traveled to go see the graveside of a
fictional character.

Speaker 5 (41:30):
So I did. I did do that.

Speaker 3 (41:31):
Hey, Double Doore was like one hundred and eighty years old.
Mick Jagger's only eighty one.

Speaker 6 (41:35):
Come on, yeah, yeah, the Double Doore is one of
the greatest traders in villains and movie and book history.

Speaker 5 (41:41):
I thought he was a trader revillain.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
I think it was just Oh so his whole plan
was to sacrifice Harry Potter.

Speaker 3 (41:46):
Oh wow, that doesn't make him a villain at all.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
Oh okay, well no, sometimes that was kind of a
greater good thing, like you know, okay, well we got
to get rid of Baltimore.

Speaker 6 (41:54):
Yeah, you know, the poor little guy didn't know what
was going on there, that he was an unwinning pawn
to this father figure, grandpa figure, whatever you want to say.

Speaker 1 (42:03):
I think that was more of a reveal that we
saw about his character than anything else.

Speaker 5 (42:08):
Oh, it's a reveal.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
And you know, anyway, I can't get Harry was still
so nice to him after he knew.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Oh yeah, hey, professor, Hey, we're here at King's Cross.

Speaker 1 (42:16):
Yeah, what's going on? You were gonna kill me? What
the hell is wrong with you?

Speaker 6 (42:20):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (42:20):
Yeah, what?

Speaker 1 (42:22):
No, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna go to
the Quibbler and I'm gonna make sure they print a
thing about what you were really like. Dumbledore is ready
to sacrifice Potty. Uh Potter, story buys you know, Pheellius
love good like.

Speaker 6 (42:33):
Well, you don't speak ill of the dead or to them,
I guess in dream secretss you said Potty.

Speaker 1 (42:39):
I said Potty. I meant to say Harry Potter. I
said Harry Potty. I did say Potty.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
I did.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
Sometimes my dark pathway, my mouth gets ahead of my
head a little bit.

Speaker 5 (42:47):
It happens once in a while. That happens there.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
But let me say, how did make move?

Speaker 5 (42:51):
Did he move?

Speaker 3 (42:51):
Well?

Speaker 5 (42:51):
Was it all? Now?

Speaker 6 (42:52):
He's still dancing. It makes my daughter's very uncomfortable. It's
really funny to watch when he goes jetting out to
the front of the stage right because they've got the runway,
and he does that point thing where he's shaking his
hip and doing his like a little back and forth
tippy toe tippy toe, tipytoe, fast feet, fast feet bloom.
Madeline just gets so salty about it. And it was

(43:13):
Eleanor's first Stones experience, so she was just loving it.
But yeah, again, very lifeless crowd at times, you know,
the geriatrics not not getting up and dancing with Mick.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
Well, he only does that because it's a hologram Mick Jagger.

Speaker 5 (43:27):
It's hologram. It's AI.

Speaker 1 (43:28):
He hasn't performed any years. It's been it's been hologram
AI Mick Jagger.

Speaker 6 (43:32):
If that's true, it's a he's a wise man. But
you know, it always brings a little uh. You get
at the wistful moment when there's the part of the
show where Keith Richard steps to the front and he
sings three songs and the crowd just absolutely uh adores
the man standing out. That lasts like three minutes. He
gets all weepy it's great ah.

Speaker 3 (43:52):
And then he sings I bet a walk before they
make me run?

Speaker 1 (43:55):
Sure, hey did? Because they always pick one song. They
let the fans pick. Yeah for last night, did sweet
Virginia in people going no boo? That's their best song
is Sweet Virginia Boom, Far Away Eyes.

Speaker 6 (44:10):
Actually ended up being the winner, which I would not
have expected out of the four that I sent you
as the potential winners.

Speaker 1 (44:18):
There Swet Virginia is one of their top three are
not their best? One of their top three songs? How
do they not do sweet Virginia? Now, before we move on,
you know, we need to pay a homage to an
absolute legend we lost today.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
Bob Newhart, Yeah, passing away at.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
The age of ninety four, one of the longest careers
we've seen in Hollywood, from the Bob Newhart Show in
the seventies, the New Heart Show in the eighties and nineties.
And he was Papa elf in in elf and and
just one of the I know people. You hear about
his delivery and his timing, but his dry wit and

(44:54):
and his comedic talent is almost unmatched. I don't know
anybody that I could watch just deliver okay lines like
and just good good, like you know, the whole read
the phone Book thing. I don't know there's anybody that
could make just the most innocent and innocuous line laugh
out loud funny better than Bob Newhart could. He was

(45:15):
just that talented a comedian where he would just shrug
his shoulders and start talking. It would make you start laughing,
like with him having to say anything, just because his
wit was so dry as a straight man, and and
and his delivery. It was when you saw him just
getting ready to say something, I knew I was gonna laugh.
And look, there's so many funny people that are able

(45:35):
to entertain us over the course of our lives. And
you know, you look at you look at comedic geniuses
like Steve Carell and Will Ferrell and all of these guys.
And you watch Bob Newhart and go, that guy can
do something that I don't know anybody else in the
world can do.

Speaker 5 (45:48):
And he just had.

Speaker 1 (45:49):
He was that kind of talented and can do that
and could and could work with anything over the course
of his career.

Speaker 6 (45:55):
Yeah, Chicago guy uh born in the same little part
of villain. I was in Oak Park and went to
the same high school. He is a sat ignacious college
prep grad out.

Speaker 5 (46:05):
Of Was this picture up like, would you pass it
every day?

Speaker 11 (46:07):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (46:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (46:08):
That's absolutely a lot of tributes and certainly in alumni
magazines anytime there was a reference of biography made or
you know, just anything made sure one of the favorite
sons to your point about the comedic thing, like he
didn't have to go over the top, right, You mentioned
Will Ferrell a lot of the comedy. I mean, you
got got clips last week of you know, James Kahn

(46:30):
talking about the uh, the late great James Khn but
talking about, you know, being on set with Elf and
being like, I don't know what the hell this guy's
problem is, and then seeing the movie and going, oh,
that now makes sense that you know, it's a genius.
But it was all over the top for a guy
who was a you know, let's let's get to the method,
let's get get into the character.

Speaker 3 (46:49):
Let's go for Bob Newhart. A lot of it was that.

Speaker 6 (46:51):
Understated delivery, the anticipation of the smart ass line that
was gonna come out, and his eyes, like the expressiveness,
like the big eyes, the you know, furrowed brow, all
of that, you know clips going all over the place today,
the introduction of Larry. You know this is Larry, my
other brother, you know, my brother Daryl and my other
brother Darryl, and all of those different clips, the Simpsons

(47:15):
clip where he goes and he's waiting on a memorial,
but it's Krusty's memorial and goes up to say, it's like, well,
I started before him. I didn't learn anything, and it's
just like waiting for the next line. Overall, I don't
know that the actual words were terribly funny, but the directory,
I mean, it's not like he it's not like he
reinvented the wheel with some of the things he said.

(47:35):
Like one of the funniest things, like he did a
sports one once where he just said, you know, I
played I played football in college for a little while ago.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, but I realized it wasn't
for me.

Speaker 5 (47:45):
I didn't like the hitting. And what do you mean
you like that?

Speaker 1 (47:48):
He's well, I played running back and every time I
went into the hole after a fake I would yell.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
I don't have it like that was It's like, I mean,
it's help.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
It's not that.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
But the way he delivered is now to give you
a little bit of his delivery, we pulled some of
this for you here. This is from the Dean Martin
roast of Don Rickles, Okay in nineteen seventy four. So
this is the heyday of Bob Newhart. Some big stuff
making the rounds as we pay tribute to an absolute legend.
The Dean Martin roast of Don Rickles. I mean, you know,

(48:20):
forty years before we had the Tom Brady one. So
here it is from seventy four. Here's some of Bob
Newhart Don is.

Speaker 11 (48:27):
My best friend, which just give you some idea of
the difficulty I have in making facts. As some of
you may have already known, Don's hotel room was recently robbed.
The only thing that was taken was the music to
Don's act. So by the Chicago Police have picked up

(48:52):
thirty three thousand people who might have had a possible motive.

Speaker 5 (49:01):
I said, his stuff.

Speaker 3 (49:02):
It's not like, oh my goodness, that's so brilliant, but
just the way he would deliver.

Speaker 7 (49:07):
You see people in the video Jason and they're they're
slapping their knees. It was so funny.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
Yeah, yeah, I mean that's Bob Newhart.

Speaker 1 (49:14):
Man.

Speaker 5 (49:14):
I'm telling you. He was just so incredibly talented and
had that gift all the way.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
Through, even in ELF when he's reading about Buddy Well
and then Buddy had this and all he's doing his
reading and it's just a bridge to get you from
one scene to the next, and it's like you're laughing
you're laughing hysterically at Bob Newhart.

Speaker 5 (49:31):
Just an absolute legend. Man ninety four. Great run for him, Man,
great run on er as well.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
I think he won an Emmy or was at least nominated, Like.

Speaker 7 (49:43):
How was George Mike?

Speaker 3 (49:47):
That was gore On Visit Mike?

Speaker 5 (49:48):
Sorry about that?

Speaker 3 (49:49):
That look at you going deep? Gore On Visits. There
you go and everybody look it up. Is he even
still acting? I don't even know, but I'm gonna look
him up right now.

Speaker 7 (50:01):
Change his name to his last name dog.

Speaker 3 (50:05):
He is fifty one years old.

Speaker 6 (50:07):
Okay, he did make a That original run was back
at Practical Magic. Maybe he shows up for part two
because they're talking about doing that. Uh again, let's see.
He was in Vikings Valhalla as Eric the Red.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
That's a good time. That's a high profile Viking. Now,
I know I don't know Vikings all that great, but
that's a pretty high down file. Like, yeah, Eric the
Red's the guy you heard Chuck Foreman and Eric the
Red those are the Vikings you've heard of growing up,
all the stories.

Speaker 6 (50:33):
About in the professional page. And don't forget Eric. Eric
the Red was the competitive eater.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
That's right.

Speaker 5 (50:39):
Yeahs the show there it is exactly he.

Speaker 6 (50:41):
Was in hell Raiser in twenty twenty two, showed down
a couple of episodes of This Is Us and then, uh,
you know, nothing huge since a show called Timeless, which
I don't know what that is.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
Mike Harmon is your man for Gorn visited Trivia.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Hey, you brought him up.

Speaker 6 (50:57):
So now we got to look at the CV and
wonder what you asked the rich somewhat rhetorical question, what
the hell ever happened to? We leave no stone unturned
and we get to the bottom of what he's been
up too lately.

Speaker 1 (51:10):
We'll have another big MLB second half prediction coming up
in ninety seconds, but first let's check it with Martin Weis.
Who's got what's trending in the wide world of sports?
No flat print tonight, Martin Weiss, But thank you for
coming in anyway.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
Yeah, you know, somehow I was able to make it,
you know, just like Brinnie James able to make a
three tonight, even with Mike Harman here, Jackie. I mean,
who knows what happens next, But Lakers draft picks Brirannie
James and Dalton Connects played well against the Cavaliers as
James finished with thirteen points on five for ten shooting.
Connect finished with seven four I'm sorry, seven for sixteen

(51:42):
from the floor for twenty Widgar's number two overall pick,
Alex Sar struggled his summarily match up with the Kings.
He had two points on one for six from the floor.
He's made one shot in his last twenty one attempts.
Russell Westbrook has been traded from the Clippers second round
pick in a cash also going to the Utah Jazz
and assigning trade for Chris Dunn. Westbrook expected to agree

(52:05):
to a contract buyout with the Jazz and sign with
the Nuggets. Jacksonville Jaguar suit Amat Patel, a stafford who
stole twenty two million from the team in a three
and a half year period to payoff gambling debts and
fund a life of luxury. He's being twoed for sixty
six point six million dollars in damages in a Florida
state court. University of Alabama plans to honor former head

(52:26):
coach Nick Samon by naming its football playing field for
him at Bryant Denny Stadium. Daniel Brown's at six under,
he leads the first round of the Open, Shane Lowry
five unders, andrewscho Flay two under, Brooks Kopka and Scottie
Scheffler both won under. They're all in the mix right now.
Tiger Woods eight over, Roy McElroy seven over, in Bryson d.
Chambeau five over. At the end of the first round,

(52:47):
the Dolphins plays linebacker Bradley Chubb and Jalen Phillips on
the pup list, and the Saint Petersburg City Council approved
plans for the Ray's new stadium. It'll be one point
three billion dollars to build for thirty thousand seas. He's
a fixed roof and scheduled to be ready for opening
Day twenty twenty two. Jason and Mike back to you guys.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
Thanks a bunch, Martin, so we gave you the big
Dodgers Bowl prediction Segon. My concern for them is about
a ten uh with their starting pitching difficulties.

Speaker 5 (53:15):
But now let's go the different direction here.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
We are going to look back at the end of
the season and say that Aaron Judge had the best
season a hitter has had in fifteen years. You look
at where he's at right now. He already has numbers
over the course of the first half of the first
ninety games that are better than a couple of guys
that won MVP over the last decade, including Bryce Harper

(53:40):
a couple of years ago. I mean, what he has
done so far in the first half has been unreal.
I know that Sodo got all the publicity early and
that was great. Hey obviously with with Sodo and the guy,
he's been the addition. But Judge is already all right
through ninety six games, thirty four homers, eighty five rbi.

(54:00):
He's hitting three to zho six. I mean, you got
to go back to the to the to the time
when when Miguel Cabrera was Triple Crown winner and a
Rod went fifty to one fifty to find a better
season than Aaron Judge. He's gonna hit sixty to sixty
five home runs. He could drive in one hundred and
sixty runs. I mean, the guy eighty five RBI in

(54:21):
ninety six games, that's an unreal pace.

Speaker 5 (54:24):
To keep up.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
His ops is is well over well over one thousand,
it's one thousand and one. His war is at seven.
I mean, you're looking at an all time season from
Aaron Judge and he's and it feels like if he
stopped playing right now and these are his numbers, you
would say, hey, that's a pretty good season by Aaron Judge.
And we're through ninety six games. I mean, we're gonna

(54:45):
look back and say, when did a hitter have this
kind of season in the last fifteen years. No, Aaron
Judge has blown everybody away over the course of.

Speaker 6 (54:53):
The past fifteen I'm really upset that you got the
in the last fifteen years. In otherwise, I was gonna
start signing guys like Hack Wilson. Uh in legends from
yesteryear and their one hundred and ninety RBI can't.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
Well, hey, wait, there was that year where Hack Wilson
had his RBI changed from one ninety to one ninety one.
The guy had been dead for fifty years and knocked
in an extra run. That's pretty big.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
I mean, everybody going back into the uh, your dad's.

Speaker 5 (55:17):
You're dead for fifty years and you get one more RBI.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
So whoa, whoa, whoa wha?

Speaker 5 (55:21):
How do you how do you come back and knocking
that he did?

Speaker 3 (55:23):
Hey, all right, let's give that guy the MVP.

Speaker 6 (55:25):
I want to know how you know, you came to
decide what was a genuine history and who's uh stat
keeping and scorecard that they brought to the ball yard
meant more than the others.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
No, that was wrong. It was originally attributed to the
guy named Rabbit. That was bad ahead of it.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
Well, that was the thing that was a whole plot
behind mister three thousand, right someone, Yeah, Oh wait a minute,
we gave Bernie Mack three more hits than he had,
so he's got to come back and try to get
these last three hits.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Like, oh yeah, we gave him six hits in the
double header when he shouldn't have had that.

Speaker 5 (55:57):
Oh oh okay, all right, well all right, now you
got to come back.

Speaker 6 (56:00):
Underrated movie, Great Chicago and Bernie Mack except when he
put that cub's uniform on. But I guess if they
asked me to throw out the first pitch and sing
the seventh inning stretch, I'd probably take it too to
try to get some heat.

Speaker 1 (56:11):
Dude, you would wear a rhyine sand But if they
asked you to do it, you would wear a rhyine
Sandberg jersey with Ernie Banks's socks.

Speaker 3 (56:18):
Forget about it. Yeah, you would go do that in
a second I I I.

Speaker 6 (56:22):
If I was gonna do it and they said, who
do you want the jersey of it would either have
to be Grace or Russell.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
No, they would say that's fine, whatever, whatever, Yeah, Bruce suit,
would you throw the split finger fastball before I got.

Speaker 6 (56:37):
To try and then watch my shoulder go into the
third deck? Sure you would so do that. You would
just look. I would do it too.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
If the Phillies called me up and say, coming throughout
the first pitch, I dressed like Rob Mcalaney man Philadelphia
Union hat, give me a Phillies jersey, give me Eagles pants,
let me go.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
Oh yeah, Sixers, Sixers shoes. I'll do it. Yeah, I'll
throw out.

Speaker 5 (56:57):
I'll do whatever you want. Yeah, you're gonna you're gonna
pay me on me throw out the first I'll.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Go do it.

Speaker 5 (57:01):
Whatever you want.

Speaker 3 (57:01):
You know what you know, I'm gonna give you the
bold one.

Speaker 6 (57:04):
Thirteen wins at the break h the All Star Games
started by Paul Skens, but Chris Saal on the comeback
trail for the Atlanta Braves, I'm gonna say he wins
twenty because it completes my season of misery. It would
it would really it would be it would be a
watching the pitch all those years and then bounces around
a little bit and then he gets healthy with the

(57:24):
braves and goes in and dominates.

Speaker 3 (57:26):
So yeah, that's where we're at.

Speaker 5 (57:28):
I'm with you there.

Speaker 1 (57:29):
Look, this is a guy in Aaron Judge when you
talk about winning the triple Crown. Yeah, he's probably he
has to pump up his average a little bit. He's
got a bunch of guys ahead him. But he's first
in home runs, he's first in RBI, he's first in ops.
I mean, he is just having even a better season
than two years hell of a better season when two
years ago when he went sixty two and and and
one thirty one, Like, if he knocks in one hundred

(57:51):
and thirty one runs at this point, that's a disappointment.

Speaker 3 (57:53):
That was Like, boy, Aaron Judge had a really bad
second half.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
Man, he finished at one thirty RBIs like he if
he he could to one fifty five, one sixty, Like
that's the pace he is at, Like that's where he
could be. That's how legendary of a season he's having.
And if it finished an ops of one point one
or one point two or I mean that that's insane.
I mean, to see what this guy is doing in
this lineup when he's protected by Jan Soda, which is great.

(58:19):
He's definitely have the lineup figured out the way they
want to.

Speaker 5 (58:22):
But still thirty four and eighty five.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
I mean, you go look at at Bryce Harper's MVP
from a couple of years ago, somebody else who won,
like in twenty sixteen, twenty seven. I remember looking going,
he's got better numbers than this guy after ninety six
games already, and this guy won the MVP. I mean,
that's the kind of year Aaron Judge is having. And
that and the numbers at the end aren't gonna seem real.
They're they're gonna be video game numbers.

Speaker 6 (58:44):
I would say this the thing that also makes you
jump off the chart. And unless something happens to Kwan,
you ain't catching him, right, I mean, because let's let's
face it, he is what he's sitting.

Speaker 5 (58:54):
Three to fifty.

Speaker 1 (58:55):
Yeah, if nobody come down, will he come down to
about three thirty probably?

Speaker 5 (58:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (58:59):
I mean if you been up three to fifty is stuff,
But will he comes up? But you're to error, Judge
is gonna go from three zero six to three thirty.

Speaker 5 (59:04):
Yeah, it's not gonna happen.

Speaker 6 (59:05):
Yeah, even with the dip. But you know, he's one
of the throwbacks to what hitting was. And I think
that's the larger point to celebrate what Judge is doing.
And you can find a few guys across Major League Baseball,
you know, to give the proverbial doffing of the cap.
Is that in an age where, let's face it, it's
unwatchable at times the efforts guys are putting up at

(59:26):
the plate, right, there's a lot of bad swings, bad
bad eyes in terms of taking the call third strike
and whatever else. Situational baseball has gone out the window.
So and so many guys hitting at two twenty or
less but driving in runs, hitting home runs.

Speaker 3 (59:43):
So everybody gets excited.

Speaker 6 (59:45):
But a guy that's you know, doing it all as
Judge is it just means that much more in a
in a season that's a bit complicated by just the
largesse of ineptitude at the plate. Is that because I
can't call it dominant pitching. I just don't like the
attitude guy like and the and I agree with George Brett,

(01:00:06):
the the the strategies and the the way guys are
going up to the plate.

Speaker 3 (01:00:11):
Uh. The lack of discipline is sickening at times.
