Speaker 3 (01:28):
Uh but I called it though. I mean, you said, yeah,
he's this guy's about to give up a home run,
and the next pitch and you give him a home run,
a nice fat one that didn't move inner part.

Speaker 1 (01:37):
Of the plate. Can beautiful. Now, not only can I
be a GM or a manager from three thousand miles away,
I can tell the future wait to go Karnak. But
so today I really got my daughter, Zoe. She came
home from school and, uh, you know it, we're just

that engagement got called off. She just what I go, Yeah,
they put it out too early. Something happened. I said,
So apparently it wasn't supposed to go out. But but
I think somebody his people put the pictures out early.

(02:20):
They got mad, and then she put out his hang,
I got the statement right here. I have my phone
and they're pretending to read. I go, uh, I don't
know if I can trust the person I'm supposed to
marry with something so important. We are going to end
our relationship at this time. There will be more information, uh,
at appropriate time. And I put and I'm almost gonna crack,
and she goes, oh my god, how did that? This

(02:41):
all happened while I was in science class?

Speaker 4 (02:44):
Eh?

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Dad?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
They they were engaged. And now I don't know what
to tell you. Hey, stuff happened. He got out there book.
You ready at you fast? You start reading the socials?
Bad things happen? You ready to put the pictures out there? Yes? No, no,
no no, So she had and then after I said that,
I put the phone down and she will what And
then I laughed. I'm like, okay, now I'm gonna let her,
And she goes, oh, Dad, she was. She was so upset.

(03:08):
She was so upset with.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Something like the phanto snap like was inevitable, just kind
of was they moved on?

Speaker 1 (03:18):
It was it was inevitable, right, it was inevitable that
we were going to see this and clearly look, I
mean love love uhh, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey hate them.
It's it's the biggest story in the world today. I
mean not just sports, but it's the biggest story out there.
It's it bumps everything off the front page, just crazy
stuff going on, and it's just oh yeah, I t Swift, Yeah, incredible,

(03:48):
let's go. Yeah, it's I really it's it's it's unbelievable.
I had the biggest thing. But I want I don't
want to say this because this is something that this
is what every guy should learn from this. And I
want to say as the kid, I learned this lesson
at a very young age. I never really had to
learn it, but I just knew it. Now, don't ask
me what my success rate was. This is why Travis

(04:10):
Kelcey and Taylor Swift right, this is for everybody love it.
This is why you always shoot your shot. You oh,
you know, you go back to that old I forget
who it was, was it Wayne Gretzky? You miss one
hundred percent of the shots. You don't take right. You
always shoot your shot. Do you think Sandy Long making rain?

(04:34):
You always shoot your shot because you never know, right,
you never know. And clearly here's Travis Kelsey who shot
a shot. It didn't work right when he first you know,
said he wanted to do it. But then you know
how things now, obviously things are a little bit different.
When I say for you and I shoot your shot
means if you meet somebody you like and you think,
I don't know, they're gonna say no, what's the worst

(04:55):
they can say is no? Right, So you go you
try to, you know, show your game Oval Superstar House.
So I mean you could shoot your shot anywhere, anytime,
any place.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, but look but I'm married. The kid's taken. Okay.
I mean maybe a few years ago I could have
showed you something. But uh but but that's why you
always shoot your shot. And this is just like in
a bar with someone you talk, you see, because what's
gonna happen or she says, she says, no, okay, it's
not gonna be you know, it's it's not the I
don't know what what fears people would usually have about this,
but it's not like, hey, someone's gonna take video of

(05:26):
this put it on social media. Like when I was
a kid and I grew you would think me because
I was I was short growing up. I wasn't the
the the you know, the five nine uh version of
Dwayne Johnson, that that mew hulk that you've become so like,
and you know, we're the smashing middle school in the
first couple of years of high school and everything, I
didn't really I didn't really, I didn't really become the

(05:46):
kid until college. Right, were you really going to use
the word blossom? Yeah? Why you're reading that story about
it not getting rebooted and all the crying is nothing
My love can't fixed for all your babe whoa uh?
So I know, I'm like, you know what, what's the
worst that can happen? And so even when I was
in high school, like girls I was talking to for
a couple of weeks, okay, I gotta you know, Hey,

(06:07):
she thinks I'm funny. Look all the girls always thought
I was That was the whole thing. Yes, they were
all thought I was funny. I wasn't tall enough for
a lot of them, and that was a thing. That
is a problem though, That was the thing really is Yeah, sticks,
when I was five five five six, Yeah, I wasn't
tall enough and I'm like, okay, that's fine. And also
in you know, in high school, in the early parts

(06:27):
of college, depending you know, girls like, well, yeah, you're
funny and you're cool and you're but I like this
guy because boy, he's like six two and he's built
and he plays football. I'm like, what, I I can't
compete with that, right, But you never know your shot.
You never know unless you shoot your shot. And then
when then I'm on the radio and Syracuse and all

(06:48):
of a sudden, suddenly the music I'm walking around. But
I always and there were times I so crash and
burn and and and I was like, okay, and I
was upset for but I had I had a very
NBA like mentality. I'm looking, I had a beer, and
I took a shower and I was done. I read
I'm read ready, ready for the next game, right, And

(07:10):
And I don't know why people always get so caught
up in that. And I'm not gonna do it. I'm
not gonna embarrass. You don't have to go up and
just pretend you're you know, like you're Cliff Claven. You can't,
but you go up shoot your shot. If she says no,
she says no, Okay, okay. If Taylor Swift said no

(07:30):
to Travis Kelcey, would would we talk about any of that? Oh,
you tried to shoot it, would that be the be No,
that'd be something that we would forget about. Yeah, you
shot a shot with with with Taylor Swift, it didn't
work out. Okay, shoot your shot, shoot your shot, go
for it. The worst she could say is no, the
thing is and the thing is right. My my, My
percentage was probably I was probably at a Tony Gwynn percentage.

(07:50):
I was probably one of the greatest hitters of all time.
But that's like three out of every ten that's strike.
But I would say, like maybe three at least tiptay.
You can't put yourself in the same sentence. Yeah, I was.

Speaker 6 (08:09):
I was a Tony gwyn I mean you gree three, you.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Know, that's it. He can hit a lot it there.
I was also a better hitter and softball than he
was in baseball. But that's a story for another day.
That's a story another day. But like, no, probably three
three and a half out of I would say out
of that, like did I did she say yes to
a date? Or did I get her phone numbers up? Yeah?
But I mean seven times it was like, oh, you know,
I'm just coming out of her like yeah, all good,

(08:34):
all good, all good. I didn't care, right, but you
shoot your shot and the thing is shot my shot
with Pam. And here we are, thirty years later, Knockwood together.
She when I shot my shot with Pam. Okay. She
had a boyfriend for nine years nine downward recovered nine years. No, no, No,

(08:56):
he moved away, he got married, he's got kid. Yeah,
they should have never been together because they they were
like together with the no. They were together through high
school and into college, and they broke up a lot,
got back together, broke up, got back together. It was
like it was okay, one of those relationships where we're together,
but really, is it really gonna go that far? There
a lot of songs that could have been written about

(09:17):
she moved, She moved away from home. She moved she
lived in Michigan, got the job at the ESPN, and
that's where she met me. But like she moved away,
Like she moved away. So that was like the big
sign that, yeah, here's the relayship. They've been together for
a long time. I'm moving because I'm I'm going to
get a job someplace and he didn't move with her.
I'm like, okay, that should tell you everything you need
to know. But still, you know the kid had to
come through and say, hey, listen, drop the zero, get

(09:39):
with the hero and I actually no, I didn't say that.
That was actually been a little Iceland, Jason. I think
the numbers are a little misleading, though. Why is that?

Speaker 6 (09:46):
Because you could have been batting higher than Tony Gwen.
We just don't know, you know why why we don't
know how many girls your grandpa took out.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Oh yeah, yeah, wows that on the way Papa was
doing it, I would say, I would say, my grandfather
not giving me messages when I was in high school.
Probably you guys can do them. Man, Probably at least
two maybe three girls that were like you never called me?
What do mean? Never called me? I called you? When

(10:16):
the other night I told your grandfather Pop, I was
so mad. It would be.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
I would just see, I would get so mad to
next level stuff. But it's like anything, right, you want
the next assignment at work, raise your hand. They may
tell you're too green, that it doesn't fit a schedule,
that they've got other expectations.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Uh, you're not there yet. Whatever, you at least get
some level of information. Right, You and I both going
through the kids, looking at colleges and whatever. You have
no idea. You gotta put your tape out there. You
gotta put your resume out there and see what goes.
Take the tests and send those scores along. It all
plays the same in this particular case, right, CHRISA. Thompson

(10:53):
and Aaron Andrews probably seated at table number two because
they helped it happen off of their podcast.

Speaker 3 (10:59):
And if you're gonna go to a big concert, here's
what you need to do by yourself. Some damn beads,
make yourself some friends, friendship bracelets.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
With your phone number. Yeah, okay, and then that's part
of your part of your plan. Yeah, I mean, look,
it's a it's a it's I get where I get
where where you could feel a little weird about. Is
she gonna say yes? Or for the other ways, is
he gonna say yes? If if you know whatever it was,
but it's it's it's never. You build it up in
your mind way more than that than you think. Right, Yeah,

(11:31):
I mean, and no matter how bad a streak you're going,
you can always go back to what Mark Grace had going.
You know, look all those years. Yeah, look Tony, Tony
gwinn is not going up to back going. Oh it's
Greg Maddox. I'm gonna sit on the bed. I'm sick today,
I'm not gonna play.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
No.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
He went up there and tried to hit off and
he did pretty well, right, And so it's like, that's it.
Sometimes you're gonna sometimes it's gonna be madic. Sometimes it's
gonna be Randy Johnson all right. Sometimes it's you have
no idea. Sometimes it's gonn to be the Rockies pitching staff.
It does something, you know, you know sometimes oh man,

(12:07):
Ryan Helsley, but that But that's the thing is that,
you know, hey, understand, Tony Gwynn knew I'm gonna succeed
three and a half times out of ten. I'm like, okay,
if I'm the Tony gwyn of that, yeah, sure, I'm
good man, I'm good it three and a half times
out of ten. And if not, I don't want to
be sit there and go, oh man, if all I
should have all I met, I should have no shoot
your shot, man, do it. There's not there. You build

(12:28):
it all up and the thing is once you do
it a couple of times, and if it doesn't work,
it doesn't work. It works, doesn't matter, but it does
a couple of times. You're used to it. You're like, yeah,
what do I care? Yeah, okay if she says no,
she says no, Okay, No, I'm not done. Now. You
gotta have a plan. You got you gotta have game, right,
you can't just walk up. I've been watching you from
across the dance floor and I think you're really pretty

(12:48):
and would you like a Gin and Tonic? Like, you
gotta have some kind of game. Yeah. We had a
guy in college that he used to go up and
try to compliment hair. That usually did not end well. Yeah,
he got really kind of weird about it. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
So yeah, you know, figure out, go do some research.
Maybe this would be a podcast future future reference Shooting
your Shot with the Kid.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Oh, that's a good podcast. I like that, Shooting your
Shot with the Kid. Hey, you want to do with
some advice on how to shoot down Sunny like Jerry,
how to shoot your shot? I'm Jim needm No. I
haven't been in the game for thirty plus years. Yea,
I called book hop on pop I shot, shot my
shot with Michah Parsons. He still is not in playing
football with us, so oh well, we'll get back to

That's UMGC dot edu. Well, today is cut down day
in the NFL, and we're gonna do something special in

(16:04):
a couple of minutes. Right, We're gonna We're about positivity.
We have something really cool coming up in a couple
of minutes. But when when you see that the biggest
cut today was Tommy DeVito, you understand that all right? Well,
you know, the the preseason, what we saw not so
much about jobs and vets getting cut like Tommy DeVito.

(16:26):
Tommy Cutlet's getting cut is the biggest story of the day.
There's a lot of memes if you miss if you
missed everything to go to, oh my god, who got cut?
Who cut? Tommy DeVito? Who else? Yeah, a couple of guys,
but Tommy DeVito, a couple.

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Of guys once upon a time work Fantasy relevant or
stars for your individual NFL two. But that was the
only guy that really was a cross cross the league
league wide kind of story. Right, We had him on
a couple of evening games to have some fun with it.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
But yeah, yeah, I mean, look like for me personally,
for me, Malachi Corley got cut, and we'll always have
last Halloween when he was, you know, the third round
pick by the Jets last year, and he comes in
and Corley's a guy that got the ball first time
he touched it and was running eighteen yards on a
reverse for a touchdown, and he dropped the ball before
he went over the goal line because he wanted to

(17:16):
do that crazy ass celebration where I'm gonna drop the football,
except he dropped it too early. It's a touchback and
we lost a touchdown. And really that's Malachi Corley's legacy
to the NFL. So we'll always have that Halloween. But
outside of that, like, everybody's got their own pit But
it's not like, oh, look at this huge cut like
Deontay Johnson like four years ago, that would have been
big news, right, So it's not unbelievable. It's well, everybody's

(17:38):
got your your your local stuff. But I mean, honestly,
Tommy Cutlett's getting cut, it's like wow, And I got
to give him a lot if and it's not the
end of the line for Tommy Cutlet's right. It's not
because he's gonna get picked up because he is shown. Yeah,
he could watch the Jets get him, because Tommy DeVito
has shown that, hey, when you throw him in, he
can run an NFL franchise and he can play somewhat well,

(18:01):
like he'll be a well sought after backup. However, the
Giants were caught in a big time numbers game, right,
they weren't going in with four quarterbacks, right, and you
know it's gonna be Wilson, and then it's gonna be
Dart and then Jameis Winston because that really doesn't make
any sense, but whatever, So you know, okay, so they
cut Tommy DeVito, so I get it, you know, but
he'll land somewhere as a backup. But it's stunning to
me that how much attention he got, mainly because his

(18:26):
nickname became Tommy Cutlet. It's likely he had like a
couple of weeks where things were amazing and oh look
at what he did coming off the bench. But it's like,
you know, he had like a Mike White couple of
weeks or a Gardner mitche Now, all of a sudden,
Tommy DeVito is Tommy Cutlets. And I say that because
really he's the new Gardner Minshew. Right. We had Gardner
Minshew a few years ago, the backup quarterback with the

(18:46):
with the mustache and the jorts and all kinds of stuff,
and he was fun. He was living in a RV
and his family. At the Thursday night game when he played, well,
all this stuff is going on, You're like all right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And now sitting here and saying, okay, who's it Tommy Cutlets.
He's the next Gardner Minshew. He's a fun, colorful guy
to have on your team. He leans into the whole

(19:08):
Tommy Cutlets thing. So yeah, it's amazing the mileage that
he has gotten out of a nickname.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
Well, the quarterback position gives us so much depth and chaos,
no question about it. Uh, when we look at yeah,
I remember Charlie Whitehurst all those years clipboard Jesus, and
then he passed on the look to Gardner Minshew. Yeah,
as well as the you know, it was like what's
his Uh it was America's favorite interim head coach. Uh,

(19:37):
trying to get back in the game kind of thing.
He got in some trouble, but you know, he's trying
to trying to get himself back, a little bit him back,
and he's trying to talk himself back into the game.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
I paid my penance. But all of that's say for
Tommy Devi.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
You don't remember we had the the extra story of
how he'd had a deal in place and then his
agent tried to uh strong arm the what was it
a pizza plays restaurant he had shown up and the
pictures of.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
What he looked like, looking like he like you would
actually expect the agent of Tommy Cuttlers. Look all the
Steve Shirippau memes out today after the Giants cut Tommy Cutlers.
You cut Tommy Cutlets. This is what you did. You
cut Tommy Cutlets. I'm gonna come back and cut you.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Became every Sopranos reference you can get. It's some good
Fellas mixed there.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
I don't shine shoes no more. Now, Gorman, get your
shine box. Keep him here.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
But we had two quarterbacks that have ruled the entire
Cutdown series. I know Ben Denucci did a spot with
Dan Patrick, but he did his Hey, I got cut
from my seventh team Beer at eight o'clock in the
morning or whatever. It was at the airport. So those
are the two guys that have run and what do
we say every year it's sixty plus. Are guys gonna
start a game? So keep your arm in shape, go

(20:54):
into the bubble wrap and just wait for the phone
to ring.

Speaker 1 (20:56):
He's the new gardner, minshew, right, like gonna be able
to sell off him.

Speaker 3 (21:01):
Right, So if you just need a guy that's in
the room, because it's not like one of those situations
where it becomes loud noises of hey we need to
see Tommy DeVito play. No, it's just his presence there.
I mean really, he's colorful, he's fun. He can get
the job done to a limited extent, like.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
He could get the job done. He's colorful, he's fun,
he can get the job done. Is that too much
to put on a on a sandwich board?

Speaker 5 (21:25):
Can we do that?

Speaker 4 (21:28):
Dad?

Speaker 1 (21:29):
One ain't seven seven cars for kids? K colorful? He's fun,
he can get the job done to an extent. Like
to an extent be on a billboard before long. Make
sure you copyright that. I would call his ale and say, hey,
I'm on a landline. Let me tell you I like
your client. He's fun and get the job done to
one extent. I'm not gonna trust them all the way

(21:51):
cause you know I didn't see it. But for a
little bit to come in and do some stuff for us,
Do that thing for me, I'll do that. He'd never talked.
Not that first thing, we do it. That second thing,
Not that first thing. Do that second thing. You do
a second thing for me. We're okay, not that for
the first thing. Well, we're gonna put a pin in that.
We're not gonna do that yet, right, But second thing,
we're gonna do it. Okay, we got him in, We
got him good. We got a deal. I'll fax it
over to you, right, and none of this stuff where like, hey,

(22:12):
you know he's gonna come in. We had a deal,
and then suddenly the owner says, oh, there's no deal,
and you're not talking to me. You'll talk to me, Okay,
you talk to me. You want Tommy Cutlets on your team.
That's how it goes, man, Tommy Cutlets he is. But
that's it.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
The rest of the names, all right, guys that'll hook
on somewhere else. Maybe they'll be lightning and catch lightning
in a bottle right with the third receiver or something.
But yeah, Tommy DeVito. That was the name of the day,
which is really kind of scary to think. Yeah, right,
for as much as we put and look, for all
the guys that their NFL careers ended today, thanks for

(22:50):
playing for us. And I mean that with all sincerity.
I mean it's it's it's a tough business, a thankless
business at times. Right, you have a short run and
we certainly have seen the the graph for all the
three year averages. Yeah, there's a lot of guys at
the tail end over there, right, they get a couple
of snaps in a preseason game and that's the end

(23:11):
of it. And for a couple of hundred guys, this
this was it, right, this was they got the call today.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
So there it is. Is the biggest name is my guy.
He's out there. You want cutlet you call me right now.
Let's be positive. Bring up that picture of that greasy guy.
He almost looks like.

Speaker 3 (23:26):
That guy that Frostburg always says. That's got the Lakers.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Today.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
By the way, and didn't know the story, maybe some
people didn't. You would have thought Tommy DeVito was engaged
to Taylor Swift.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Yeah, yeah, I mean really it was it was it
was something that maybe we should just throw that out there. No, No,
that's what I should have told Zoe when she said, yet, yeah,
I know that she broke up with him and now
she's with uh uh, Tommy DeVito, Tommy Cutler, you know
Tommy Cutler, you know Tommy Cullin. That's like, what was that?
I remember the story when what was it? Julia Roberts
was dating Key for Sutherland and they were gonna get
married and everything was great, and then one day woke

(23:59):
up in they broke up, and she went on vacation
with Jason Patrick, who was, you know, one of his
best friends. They did Lost Boys together, which really gives
you a new, new new found way to look at
the movie Lost Boys. Wow. So they were rivals there
and apparently they were friends and then they were not
between Lost.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Boys and Flatliners and all, I mean, he got a
lot of chaos going.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, that's fun, man, I'll tell you it's fun. So
now to be positive here on cutdown day, right, let's
have some positivity. Let's have an appreciation moment because we
need to the end because today with the fifty three roster,
the fifty three man Losters being said, no, obviously things
are gonna change the next couple of days, and some
guys who got cut could get brought back because obviously
there's contract situations, there's length of services where some teams

(24:41):
are saying, hey, we want to keep this guy, but
he's not gonna pass through waivers. Hang out. We're gonna
let you go, but hang out. You're starting for us
week one. We'll bring you back in the day. But
today's cutdown day, right, which is the end of the preseason, right,
everybody's starting their Week one ramp up now, so we
have to have our end of NFL pre season appreciation moment. Okay,

(25:01):
sure for the three people that got us through the
last two and a half months, because there were three
people ahead of everybody else that got us through football wise, right,
that got us through the last two and a half
months is now, because now the footballs are gonna fly
for real world into everything happening. You know, in preseason,

(25:23):
starters don't play that often. You gotta worry about intersquad
scrimmages and seven on sevens. But there's three stories that
got us through the last two and a half months.
This is the matter. Stand in order at number coming
in at number three, coming in at number three. Thank you,
Caleb Williams. Thank you for throwing a ball at a camera,
missing a net, and generally causing all sorts of intense

(25:48):
amounts of anxiety in Chicago and throughout the NFL by
a subpar preseason that sometimes turned.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
A little bit good.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I want to give a little honorable mention to Tyson
Bay because without him playing really well, we might not
have this. But Caleb Williams number three, his storyline the
last two and a half months got us through here
all the way to the fall. Caleb Williams number three
on the medals, an.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Awful lot of hot air and depending on the day.
I mean it was one of those lick your finger
and see which way the wind was blowing.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

Speaker 5 (26:20):
He was great.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
He wasn't good, But Tyson Page was always and that
guy was fantastic. And then he cried when they gave
him that money. Did you look that? How about that's America,
Like Tommy Cutlet's when he got shot. That's it, it's America.
Tommy Cutletz gave us three minutes today, right, that's Tommy Cutler.
I mean, Caleb Williams was it wasn't at once a

(26:42):
week story at least for the last two and a
half months, right, once a week story that.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Look and even today like if you want it to
you can go deep down and roma doonsay talking about
him is like, well, it comes with being the number
one pick and he is who he is and there's
people that don't watch Oh yeah, yeah, forget about being
the quarterback, right you're the quarterback in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
That comes with a lot uh and certainly a lot
of history. Bad number two. Yeah, thank you. This person
gave us much and really it was in conjunction with
someone else, but this, but because of this person, we
got what we got. Yep uh, thank you Number two
to Micah Parsons. Micah Parsons gave us a couple times

(27:28):
a week story at least now. Jerry Jones obviously feeding
into it, but Micah Parsons putting out the statement that
I no longer want to be here, Okay, that turned
it into a story the Jerry Jones every day stuff.
Yeah blah blah blah. Micah Parsons stepped up and said, hey,
there's a void here in the NFL preseason with people
to talk about in contracts and people don't care about

(27:48):
Terry McLaurin and Trey Hendrickson as much, but we're the Cowboys,
Micah Parsons. This has been an every couple of day thing,
and it's ramped up over the course of the past
couple of weeks. Now we're getting now, we're seeing its
even gonna play week one. Brian Schottenneimer said today he
needs some some time to get going. So thank you
to Micah Parsons because it clearly him and the Cowboys

(28:09):
look give again Jerry Jones honorable mention for this because
he you know, he was a willing partner in here.
You know, there's no great hero without a great villain.
So it's like the Avengers. So thank you to Michah
Parsons number two on the silver medal for getting us
through the last two and a half months. Thank you
Michael Parsons. Thank you Michah Parsons for saying, I got
no strings on me. You always go back to the

(28:34):
worst Avengers movie, you always go back, but the funniest
one that gave you a left America left.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
There's a reason.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
There's a reason why James Spader was spending the last
decade and a half on Network television then you know, yeah,
but if you still man, you're on network TV, it's like, wow,
that's a step below cable, like right, I mean he
was just the voice. But I mean, look, it was
one for the little guys because Josh Brolin got his road. Sure, sure, sure,

(29:02):
the guys who were five to five, Yes, exactly.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, I gotta shoot up. But yeah for Jerry Jones,
like Michaeh. Parsons though, giving us that missive taking that
meeting all those months ago when you knew he shouldn't
have walked in like you would have been the old
man on the on the porch and your bib overall's going,
don't do it, yep, don't take that meeting. But he
gave us content from So thank you, thank you MICHAEH.
Parsons for ignoring the advice of your agent all cowboys

(29:27):
for the last how long?

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Since forty years? Right? Forty years? Yeah?

Speaker 7 (29:32):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (29:32):
And going down the four sports talk radio became a
five day week thing when it was only a weekend thing.
So you gave us gold. You see, you see what
Tom Landry did the other day. I can't believe it.
He looked right at the He also let us play
one of the great games of all time because we
had the Jerry Jones clip about Michael Parsons. Agents tell oh,

(29:53):
sure to stick it Yeah, yeah. I talk to the
agent and uh the offer he told us we could
stick it up all right? Oh Mary, where are you
on that? You're supposed to be right there with the
bleep on the agent stick it up. You're supposed to
be right there. Now. Here's the best part about number
one is no one's wondering who number one is because

(30:13):
that's how big a story this person has been every
single day. Little late Mary, the agent called and said
we had to stick it up all right because it
has been an everyday story for the last two It
at really all the way back to the draft, this
person has been an everyday story. Officially named the number

(30:35):
three quarterback for the Cleveland Browns today, Thank you to
Schadeur Sanders for helping us and leading the way. He's
the one in the in the zombie movie. He's got
the lamp saying follow me, follow me to freedom, and
we're going. It's our Charlie Steiner on the ESPN commercial.
But he's the one follow me to freedom and we

(30:56):
all followed. Shador Sanders and he got us through the
last couple of months when he's got the tire on
his head. That was good. I love that one.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
Good, but no for Shador Sanders, Kevin Stefanski, Andrew Berry,
Jimmy Haslim, that's his pick all of that. Yeah, it
was a great theater and he and then it really
kind of played out exactly as we thought it would.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Hey, Kenny pick a gut traded. Yeah, yeah, Chador is
number three on the depth chart. He'll play in and
eventually we'll watch it play out because they're not gonna
be good. No, no, no, They'll all three of them
will play. Now, the order is gonna change. He'll still
have five quarterbacks at some point because you know they're
not gonna gonna go with just these three. Come on,
it's the Browns. Uh. The minute someone looks like they're

(31:44):
winning games will go to somebody else because they want
arch Manning. But I mean that's I mean, that's really
got it and I and I don't. I don't think
that's even debatable. That metal that metal stand. Chador is
the gold medalist, Micah is the silver medalist. Caleb gets
the bronze. Like we've joked about it all all off season.
I mean, what do we talk about? Six teams? Seven teams?

Speaker 3 (32:05):
The rest of the league got to go work. We
talked about cam Ward about two weeks ago just for
the fact. Hey, you know what, we haven't been talking
about cam Ward. Let's just talk about cam Ward because
right let's check in on him. Got a little bit
with Jacksonville with Travis Hunter, but that's been really quiet.
Like you said, the Bengals and the and the Commanders.
A little bit of noise there, just based on some contracts.

(32:28):
We want to get traded.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
No, you don't. You want to get paid. So here
we are Exit Abya Fresca, Exit Swallen Dome, the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. We got
more coming up in ninety seconds. But first let's find
out what's trending with Chris Purfett. Chris, what do you
got for us? Besides the Mets walk off against the.

Speaker 8 (32:45):
Phillies, Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift have announced their engagement.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Oh that is that? Okay, that is really the only news.
That's it. You're done?

Speaker 8 (32:52):
No, No, We've got plenty more to go through. Dylan
Gabriel is being named the number two Browns quarterback by
coach Kevin seven. Stefanski Shuldr sanders Can dresses as the
emergent see third quarterback. Giants are waving fan favorite Tommy
DeVito and I cannot believe you are slagging on him.
That is my people right there. He introduced us to
chicken vodka parm cutlets.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
I think people heard of cutlets before that.

Speaker 8 (33:12):
No, cutlet's plenty. I just never thought about putting vodka
sauce on them too.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Oh yeah, vodkas. I've upset. I didn't discover vodka sauce.
I was in my thirties. I was like, Wow, this
is fantastic.

Speaker 8 (33:21):
It's amazing. It's a basic. It's the best sauce out there.
The Seahawks are releasing veteran wide receiver Marquez Valdez Scantling,
this in spite of still owing him three million guaranteed
back from his contract in March. Not all unhappy stories.
Preseason star for the Dallas Cowboys, James Houston is making
the fifty three man roster. Expect him to pick up
some work on pass rushing with Micah Parsons contracts still

(33:43):
up in the air. US Open Yennick Center defeats vict
Coprava in three sets. Coco Goff has advanced on three sets.
Namo Osaka dispatches Great Men in on straight sets. Al
Cy Young hopeful Nathan Evaldi's twenty twenty five season is done.
He was diagnosed the rotator cuff strain in his being
shut down by the Rangers. That Baseball score scoreboard, Yes,

(34:04):
the Mets did walk off. Meanwhile, going on right now,
the Dodgers and Reds tied one run apiece bottom of
the second, ending the Athletics with an early three to
zero lead. Top of the third against the Tigers, Giants
and Cubs, top of the fourth, one run lead for
the Giants. Guys, follow me back to you very n

(34:25):
I love that all those old welcome to sports commercials.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
And in the background when everybody is running, and that's
really what that's always looked like. They didn't they didn't know,
they didn't shoot a commercial that they just said, hey,
stand in the middle of the hallway like five minutes
before the eleven o'clock Sports Center goes off real quick.

Speaker 8 (34:40):
Do I want to I want to ask you, do
you buy into the opinion that like there's a conspiracy
theory about that this is Sports Center thing because Mark
McGuire's in there beating the hell out of the phones
with a baseball bat, and everyone's like, oh, yeah, they
knew about this is roid rage, they knew about him juicing,
they knew.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Yeah. I don't think they were waiting for this. Sports
Center had to throw it out there, though. Appreciate it, Chris,
nice job. Coming up next, got the Play of the
day and your NFL Trade Rumor of the day. That's
next right here, Jason and Mike Fox Sports Radio.

Welcome back in Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith Show with
Me Mike Harmon. On a beautiful Tuesday night, watching some
Major League baseball. It is Kershaw Day, It's cutdown Day,
and it's a day for love and a day to
remind you shoot.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Your shot out there. You congratulations. Tommy DeVito engaged a
Taylor Swift. Oh sorry, they might have to get bleeped
for that. Hey, Brandon Nimo engaged a Taylor Swift after
that walk off.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
By the way, I just want to say you like
you doing all your fist pumping and all your excitement
off that Brandon marsh should be running laps.

Speaker 1 (35:57):
That was the most half assed effort on a down
the left field line.

Speaker 3 (36:01):
However, yeah, he dogged it ended up being a ba
basis loaded instead of trying to get that out.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah, my heart bleeds and then they walk it up
in all aspects of life. Yeah, do your job way
too bad, slacker. Look at the Mets celebrating Jonah Toong
day is a time for a new job. That is
time for Express Employment professionals quit. The endless online job
search enlists the pros and Express never charge's job seekers

(36:29):
a fee. Go to expresspros dot com. That is expresspros
dot com.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
You know, if he'd shaved his beard, he would have
been more aerodynamic. He would have been able to cut
through the wind.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
I always say that. I always say that long hair,
it's gonna slow you down that one one hundredth of
a second. I think Samson did alright, Uh no, didn't
he drink wine? Yeah okay, yeah, but but then he
got his hair cut and look what happened to you?
Was bad move? Yeah, that was a hair cut. Didn't
didn't work for it. No, no, no, it doesn't. It
doesn't make you faster. Drinking alcohol does not make you faster.

(37:01):
We'll have that big NFL trade roomor coming up in
a minute. But time now for the Play of the Day,
brought to you by tire Rack. For over forty years,
tire Rack's been up and customers find the right tires

(37:25):
we getting Brandon Nimo's walk off as the play of
the day?

Speaker 9 (37:34):
Brand the Phillies straight times at City f They've taken
the first two games.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Of this series. There it is TV on the call
next walk off and you know what, you know what, yeah, yeah,
you know what I love about this is that the
Phillies were feeling great. The NL East was basically theirs.
They could have come in and just you know, throwing
the hammer down to Mets. Could have been ten games
out by the end of this thing. But they lose
last night and the Alec Bohm thing comes up with,

(38:12):
oh hey, there was you know, in my eye line
was the reflection off of a microphone that's been there
for eight years. Right, So now the Phillies, all this
Mets cheating stuff comes up and all this and what
happens after the Phillies announcers go after Alec Baum. That
thing's been there for eight years. What the hell are
we doing? That was the whole postgame show. Philly's ripping

(38:33):
art and the Phillies come out. You think you think
media is tough, like wow, like coming off of this
where you could easily say Mets cheating, Mets doing things
at city Field. No, this was the Phillies announcers and
Phillies inside going after their own guys. Man. And now
the Phillies have lost too in a row. Maybe the
NL East is still there for the Mets. Like nobody
puts the brakes on the good times faster than the Phillies. Man,

(38:54):
they say, and they do it to themselves so many times.

Speaker 4 (38:56):
No.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
I was great though, I mean, because there's a rallying
cry there that's let's not be soft. If that's how
they have to win games, so be it. We're city
of champions, brotherly love. But the other thing, though, I
mean we got soft today. I mean it is because
of the love thing? Is it because we feel bad
about cutdown Day? You actually got the clip you wanted. Well,

(39:18):
it's Jonah tong day. Tongue time, everybody tongue time by.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Food for people, And I don't know. Now, we'll do
food tomorrow. We'll do food tomorrow. I was just curious.
You know how you got over? Yeah? No, when the
Mets sweep the Phillies tomorrow, Well, we'll do food tomorrow.
Wait wait, can you gets move it to Thursday? Oh
you're not in tomorrow. See, but Frostburg's here tomorrow. That's
the thing in Frostburg's not here on Thursday. What if

(39:42):
we get food tomorrow and I save some food for
you for Thursday. We do it Thursday, as Frostburg is
eating chips right now, you do it Thursday. It's all good,
fist going. I'm here tomorrow, I'm working tomorrow. You know,
I want to say really quick, I am glad. We
have been come the envy of so many shows at
Fox because we we we buy food for we take

(40:05):
care of everybody. Yeah. I've had producers from other shows going,
can I get on your show? Because you buy food
for people you and I said, yeah, okay, I say, well,
you know, listen, we're families, got it. Yeah, But you know,
it's what it is. It's all about family now depus family.
Depending on who you want to believe, there either is
or isn't a trade on the table from Micah Parsons

(40:29):
to the packers. Right, there was a big account came
out today Ricky Scoops verified account fifty thousand followers said that, oh,
the Packers have a trade on the table with the
Cowboys from Micah Parsons new contract worth forty five million
dollars a year. Whether this is real or not is irrelevant.
It doesn't matter, right, it doesn't matter because somebody, and
this is why I've said Micah Parsons is going to

(40:51):
get traded. Jerry Jones said, I'm not negotiating anymore. Micah
Parsons obviously wants more money or he would have taking
the deal that Jerry Jones threw out there. The deal
for Micah Parsons is gonna blow away what you saw
for TJ. Watt or anybody else. How you think three years,

(41:11):
one hundred and twenty million dollars, man, forget that you're
talking about a contract that's gonna begin with a two
at least from Micah Parsons. This is why he's getting
traded because Jerry Jones is not going to do that.
And eventually he's gonna realize we have to move on.
He's got three years. Baby, gonna begin with the two
Drag it out. You gonna begin with the two Drag
it out? Jerry.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
I want to see the chaos that flows out of
this h It tells you when the voice of reason
has has to be Darrell Reeves.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
