Okay, different thing, different thing, ty shirt, It's okay. Extension, Happy,
Happy Friday. Welcome the Jason Smith Show with my best

tirerac dot Com is the way tire buying should be.
And yes, while I am probably about as mad as
Dave Roberts was at Mike Shult last night the suspended
Dave Roberts and Mike Shult, which we'll get to in
a second, I've already come to terms with the fact
that Mets are never going to win again.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So I'm okay, I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I'm expecting a loss every day for now till the
end of the season. U Pitcher's gonna get hurt every day.
We're gonna lose every day, and that's how the season's
gonna go. So I've accepted it. Mike Carmon, You're.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Never gonna beat the streak. I mean, all of these
things come together in one giant conflagration of chaos. Yeah, yeah,
I gotta fight the word right off. You did.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's pretty good. I love that word conflagration.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
But I mean, did you make a deal with the
devil about a week ago? I mean something happened that
suddenly it all just went to hell? Now, what playing
the Dodgers That if I made into your heads.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
If I made a deal with the devil, I'd have
something positive to show for it.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
No, no, no, But did you make it for the Jets?
Did you make it for a a nicks Hire that
wasn't Doc Rivers. I mean, there are a lot of
different variables into this equation of eternal damnation that you
may may have signed up for, maybe unwittingly too. Maybe
you add a donut, No itll gotten donut forever be
(02:39):
on your head. If that was the case, I would
be definitely chess.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Your cat, grinning it along, going I know something you
don't know. I'm just I'm really at the fact that, okay,
they're never gonna win again, they're gonna lose again. That
it was a five game lead about a week and
a half ago and now they're going to be trailing
the Phillies by a game going into tomorrow would have just.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Been a lot of pain until whatever it I mean,
because look, you just have to go. I mean, you
can build pull the full job here right, it's misery, misery, misery,
and then you get salvation in the end.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Whereas here in this so you met like Joe Bluth,
you mean you mean job actually like from.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
The body, No, no, no, I mean, but just always remember,
like with the Lakers, situation. People were always wondering, you
know how they operated. The money was actually in the
banana stand. Yeah, and you have other ancillary incomes. It
was all there the whole time.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Come on, a guy at a five thousand dollars met
T shirt, Come on. Uh, I went over, I went
through my Dave Roberts phase of being upset and now
just accepted that, Okay, we're just never gonna win again.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, a lot of saltiness still flowing out of last night, buddy.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, we saw that. You look the big headline in
the last hour and a half. Look, we spent the
last hour of the show on this last night because
it was an insane end of the Padres Dodgers series. Uh,
you saw show hey get hit in the ninth inning
to tease get hit in the ninth inning. Eight hit
by pitches over the course of the Dodger Padre series,
(04:05):
which is the best rivalry outside of Ohio State Michigan
in all of sports, Robert Suarez got three games and
both managers got suspended. They were both serving their suspensions tonight,
so Dave Roberts will not be managing the team tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Neither will Padres manager Mike.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Shilt, and I really think, you know, I hope things
don't cool off, because I really want to see these
guys go at at In August, they ran at each
other in bump stomachs before Dave Roberts yelled at him, going, yeah,
when it come kicked that ass. I mean, that's exactly
what he was saying. I thought we were gonna see,
you know what, an over fifty fight. I thought that
we were as close to happening well.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
And then Roberts did the old day hold me back, No,
really hold me back.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
They kind of both did. They kind of were both.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
All the string string.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I was like a Syracuse parking lot at that two
fifteen when you when I used to watch teas get
settled in my younger days, Hey, these guys are gon fight.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Let's go out and watch.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And then he said, oh, you don't want no beef.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
But all of that, you know last night, I mean,
the Suarez thing was absurd. Three to zero count on
Otani and then hits him up in between the shoulders.
And you know Otani is not only I mean he's peacemaker.
He should take the helmet from John Cena and just
pick up season two of that series. Sorry, Sna you're out.
They can't see anyway, so it doesn't matter. Just reshoot
(05:24):
the scenes with Otani because he told the Dodgers to
calm down, went over and smiled real pretty and told
the Padres in no uncertain terms, beat it. Let's stop
the It stopped the insanity. But you know every Padres
guy got to a microphone as fast as he could
to call out Dodger fans and call out the Dodgers
(05:46):
and Dave Roberts and you name it.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I'm just so glad all my candles I lit last
night for worked.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Hey, you better, you better like those candles man after
he got hit in the hand, look, because I mean
that was that was a scary moment. You know, folks
want to say, yeah, you understand whatever you say, you don't.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I wonder about the Padres.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, you know, I was. I was going to the
baseball loving world as a whole because we need them
to stay good Frostburg and come to meet a terrible person.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I'm just upset that we couldn't extend this series to tonight,
Like come on, man, you can't can't go four games
at eight hit by pitches And it ends with Tatis
and Otani hitting each other and then Robertson shilt bumping
each other like it's a reality show where okay, you
dress up with with tires around you and you got
to knock the other person off to you know, to
get a you.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Know, a meal for the night or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Like they're they're in those little roller balls that they
do now where you're you're spun down a hill.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Okay to wear this challenge for your team. If you
knock the other person down, you win a meal for
the night. The other team losing doesn't get to eat. Okay,
here we go. What's the meal?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
It's grubs? Grubs everybody lion coming to the theater. Hear you?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
You mean grubhub delivers no grubs different different things for grubub,
different from Grubhuba different.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Well, I mean they may still sponsor and deliver said grubs,
but no, it's actual grubs.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, you are getting grub Hub. Oh but it's actual grubs.
Oh boy, I don't know if they deliver those. I
mean yeah, like they might eats. I mean, you know,
everybody's got a price.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
But I mean Tatis getting hit and obviously Frostburg echoing
and bringing back at the twenty twenty two suspension for
ped use. His inability to get out of the way
or turn his back to take that one you know
e in the rib cage is also on him, but
got hit in the hand. Got had an anxious moment,
(07:53):
which is why there was still, uh, you know, the
the issues that we had with Oughtani getting hit at
the ends, like yeah, well you hit our star, We're
gonna hit yours again. I mean they here we go.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I need I need to see Dave Roberts and Mike Shilt.
I need to see it. I know.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Now we get seven weeks of a gestation that's too
long gestation though, it's gonna feel like what it's like
leading up to the Tyson Paul fight, which I'm like,
oh my god, I don't care about this, but.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yet I'm noting bombarded with it every day. This at
least i'd look forward to.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now. Dave Roberts has a pretty clean and easy signature.
You could start sending letters in his name, allegedly to
Mike Shilt to keep the fires burning.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Dear Mike, meet me outside in ten minutes, Dave, all right,
I'm outside.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Where are you? Where are you? Wait the calls coming
from inside the building.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh no, uh so uh Dodgers getting action in a
few minutes without Dave Roberts tonight and Mike Shilt. Big
problem so far for the Padres. They trail the Royals
one nothing in the bottom of the second inning. But
look a big Friday tonight. We got a big look ahead.
We had two big Bowl predictions coming your way in
(09:02):
a few minutes. But today is a really big day.
Like it feels like, okay, everybody's out of school now.
It's just about everybody is out of school, whether you
had your last week this week, and here everybody's getting ready,
getting their summer plans and in place. And here we
are today the biggest summer blockbuster, the movie that is
given credit for, uh basically ushering in the modern era
(09:25):
of filmmaking. Jaws turns fifty today. Fifty years ago today,
Jaws was released in theaters.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
And you know, it really is amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You know, I mean, you've heard the stories over the years,
the shark didn't really work, we couldn't use it as
much and because it and you know, how does it.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Hold up now over the last few years. It's a shark.
Really look real.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, that shark looked better in Jaws one than it
did in any of the subsequent films.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well, because the there's a shark got beat up more
by the time you get to four, Like Rocky and
Rocky four. He wasn't quite the same boxer.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He wasn't well. But they put no money into the
shark there after. No, No, yeah, Bruce was at his best,
even being non functional in the first one.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Hey, no spoilers.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Oh sorry, I mean, and you talk about that being
a divine moment because the movie is as good as
it is because you don't see the shark as much.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Until the end of the movie. I said, no spoilers.
It's just I didn't say what happens to the shark.
I didn't say. I didn't say what I Joe Thornton
is actually riding the shark. So there you go.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's what happened at the other the movie nicely, you know,
and it ramps up the anxiety of the movie because
it's this big shark that you just kind of see
and was a whole different way to make movies, and that, oh,
here's a big threat that can just hang over the
movie and then you give it to everybody at the end.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It's like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, and you've seen that be in a very popular
characteristic of movies over the over the past fifty years.
But like Jaws is the first one to do that.
And really, you know, the era of movies is divided
into into two parts, the pre nineteen seventy five era
and nineteen seventy five and after, because this was what
ushered in the big blockbuster. This is when we started
(11:04):
getting blockbuster movies in the summer, people go to the
movies all the time, and movies started to get more
adventurous and more outlandish, and not just the big sweeping
seventies thrillers and tear jerkers and comedies that were only
could be really really smart, and you know, that was
what he Allen did comedies, and that was it, Like
(11:25):
it was a very much different world of movies. And
then Jaws ushered in this entire modern era with the
blockbuster that I think is more of its its lasting
impact on movies, because hey, Jaw's great blockbuster. You could
talk about summer blockbusters that you've seen in big movies
of the past and what they've made in action movies,
but this was the first one that said, okay, we
have a whole new era of movies that we judge
(11:46):
for fifty years because of Jaws.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
No, it's it's brilliance at every turn. A Robert Shaw,
you know, what was his temperament on a given day?
You know, obviously he in the bottle their battles. Richard
Dreyfus also a guy not not exactly warm and fuzzy.
He's gotten better with things over the years. He actually
appears in a shark movie that just premiered in the
(12:11):
streaming world here in the last month, talking about old
days and whatever and battles with sharks. How about that.
But you know, and then obviously Roy Scheider did more
than just tap dance because he was in you know,
all those other all that jazz and everything else. But
it's the perfect movie. And then you got, you know,
the the mayor gets re elected spoiler alert, Yes, somehow happens.
(12:36):
I mean, I could make a bunch of one liners
and you could pick whoever you want politically to that,
but it's not, you know, it's it's not a perfect movie.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's oh yeah, we can't close the beach because look
at these seventy five people that are here on the beach.
You're not making money on the beach money there. It's
not like vendors are making kavs. You could have closed
the beach if you wanted to.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Now you'd have hot dog vendors out there in the
whole nine yard.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I mean, you'd have all the but I mean they
didn't have the budget to go pick because they had
to keep paying for Bruce trying.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
To get into work. Where are you, hurry up not
tying on? So don't wait for me.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Hooper drives the boat.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Come down here and shovel some of this man. Hooper
drives the boat. Chief. Yeah, I watched it again today.
It had a nice introduction from Spielberg as well. Oh nice, Okay, yeah, no,
it's pretty good. It's, uh, you know, one of those
let's promote it as broughte the hell out of it
at the theme parks. They're doing a bunch of you know,
photo ops and all of that. Uh, and then obviously
(13:48):
popcorn buckets being all the rage. Uh, you got to
have a bunch of those. So yeah, selling the hell
out of it. But you know it's still one of
those that that get you. Oh it's ninety seven on
Rotten Tomatoes. I want to know who the three percent
of dopes are. They voted against it just because it's
the make it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
The makers of of all the other shark movies that
didn't make It's the people who made Orca. Remember when
they tried was pretty good with Orca. After No, we're
gonna do it about a killer whale. Oh, it's not
gonna make any money. I think people did Free Willie.
That probably is uh people at the negative reviews as well.
What was the one with all the sharks and Sam
Jackson not Deep Impacted Deep?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Was it Deep?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Michael Rapaport, Yeah, yeah, yeah, they were all the sharks.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
They were trying to all the and they were trying
to make them really smart.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
What's his name? Sam Jackson?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
In the.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Big Thing, We're Gonna stick together and nobody's got Oh wow,

Deep Blue Sea? No?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
No, no, she was an anaconda. Oh that is like
a saffron Burrows. You know what I always stelling scars
gard I mean one of the greatest of all time.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Because one was movie about a big snake in the river.
This was I don't know that they care so much
about Jaws. No, it's about the other Shark movies.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah. Now Anacon is coming back, I mean in pog form.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But like you got all of that.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It's just brilliant, right, I mean, sorry, Thomas Jane was
the was the other actor. I conflated him with what's
his name?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Eckhart? But no, it's good.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It's it's it's a classic shark movie. Uh, feel good
summer blockbuster, except for the little kid because you knew. Uh,
But I mean it's got one of the greatest opens ever.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
And who knew that two notes could could launch a
franchise and billions of dollars of commerce.
Speaker 1 (15:54):

about this today with the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws, and
everybody's getting ready to go to the movies this weekend,
probably go see twenty eight years later.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Did you wind up going seeing it last night?

Hey no, no, no, it's still doing big box office.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Okay, all right, no, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Look, eighth fiftieth anniversary of Jaws and its legacy is
really birthing the modern era of movies, right, you can,
you can. You can break up the history of movies
into into two time periods, from nos Feraitu to nineteen
seventy five to Jaws, and then Jaws.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
To where we are right now.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Because not the terrible nest noos Ferantu that came out
last year.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
The one was that the ways back in the beginning, Yeah,
all the way back like in nineteen eight whatever. It
was like, you know, the eight minute film of nos
Feratu with no you know words or anything.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
No, it was a good one.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I will I will tell you this.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
If you want to talk about the best movie of
the modern era of Luke, Yeah, let's go, okay, go
back to nineteen nineteen seventy five and after and you
know it's it's a conversation I've had my wife and
I have this on once in a while, have this conversation,
and it really is hard for me to say anything
other than and look, I have my favorite movies of
the last fifty years. I you know, look almost famous
(19:48):
in Caddy Shack and on Top Gun and all the
ways we talk about. But if I'm good, if I'm
going the ted Lassoh, this is the best song. This
is my favorite song. The best movie of the modern
era is Back to the Future. Now you think about
you think what I mean what? The movie has absolutely
everything you would.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Want in a movie. It has great acting. It's got
great action, comedy. The writing is terrific. They teach a
course on it.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I think at usc about it's a perfect screenplay, Like
this is how you write a screenplay. It's got drama,
it's just the man. It's got thrills, it's the soundtrack
is phenomenal, like anything this movie you want out of
a movie, Back to the Future as it's got one liners,
it's got, it's got I mean, I know, I've seen
the movie over a hundred times, and still the scene
(20:34):
at the end when he's trying to plug it into
the you know, plug in the clock tower, so Marty
Kennet eighty eight miles an hour on the street, it's
still it's still so thrilling. It's I mean again, I've
seen it a hundred times at least, and it's that
movie that just it's got something for everybody. Whatever you
like in a movie, it is there. It's like, hey,
Purple Rain is probably the greatest album in the last
(20:56):
fifty years. It's got something for everybody. It's got a
great rock song, it's got a great ballad, it's got
a great top forty song, it's got a it's got
one of the best dance songs out there, it's got experimental,
it's got everything you want. Right, This is Back to
the Future that literally has everything you would want in
a movie.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Like I don't know how they were able to exceed
on all of those levels, to have that.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
All in one movie. Because certain movie that. Hey, our
movies funnier than Back to the Future. Yeah, our movie
is a little bit more thrilling than Back to the Future.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Is acting in some movies better than back Yeah, but
nobody does all of that in a movie better than
Back to the Future does outside.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Of clips and reenactments at the theme park. I don't
know that I've watched Back to the Future in about
twenty years.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Uh, yeah, Nightly Entertainment.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
No, it's I mean, look, I've probably watched Jaws the
one hundred times that you've mentioned. I know I've I've
watched The Blues Brothers forty five years ago.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Today. You're from Chicago, you kind of have to.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Well, but I mean, you talk about soundtrack whatever else.
I do concede that, you know, we did find that sound.
Marvin did get us that sound we needed for rock
and roll. So we have that UCLA Dodger Frank reminds
us that we also have twenty eight years ago today,
Batman and Robin, you want to talk about great one line?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Come on, maybe you know you can't you can't win,
you can't ruin.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Hey, one of the greatest movies incentive by throwing out
Batman and no no wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
No no man fran no no, no, I got I
got a lot of this together.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
We talked about Deep Blue Sea, which had Thomas Jane
in it. Thomas Jane also starred in another movie that
included sharks that is referenced in Jaws. That was the
USS Indianapolis, starring Nicholas Cage. Okay, so we get that
in Boom Boom and also had Mario Van Peebles and
Tom Sizemore. That's got an eighteen percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
(22:46):
But I also mentioned say eighteen percent eighteen yeh. One
of my favorite films. Nineteen eighty nine also gave us
the Superhero movie and that's Batman. I mean, yeah, you
had Superman and Christopher Reid, but that that was a
decade prior, right, I mean, we just commemorated the release
of Superman two. But what was on that soundtrack? Yeah,
(23:06):
that's right. Soundtrack was released on this day all those
years ago, Prince. Because party Man was a damn jam
by the way, Blues Brothers the Vulture Van great video.
And then when he was roller skating around with the
Batman outfit, that was cool.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
That was black Brothers could make when you could make
songs like that, where it's just we're just gonna have
music and we're gonna just play like record scratch lines
from the movie.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Oh and that's a song.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, we put that out great, no one's gonna sing it.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Just get a Prince go Batman and then we're just
gonna play Vicky Veil saying something, and Michael Keaton said,
and that's a song, and it's a it's a top
of the charts for a good couple of months. That
that's what we can put that out there.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
That's a song. I see the future and it will be.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
By the way, the Blues Brothers, you also had the
subplot that they could have done a whole movie around
with the carry Fisher subplot. Well, now I wanted to
see what happened to the good old Blues Boys brother's band.
We could have done, we could have done to spin
off of them. I mean, we had all sorts stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
By the way, it's John Goodman's birthday, who later was
in Yeah, that's right, Blues Brothers two thousand.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You can't, dude, you can't talk about these movies and
then give me the awful sequels that are out there. Yeah,
but look at how I wrapped it all in a
big hug. I'm hey, remember Back to the Future two
and three, how great they were. Come on, man, I'm
not No, you're ruining the sanctity of those movies by saying, oh, yeah,
Blues Brothers two thousands, who can't forget Joe Morton and
and whoever else was in that mean.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Joe Morton who was later part of a Batman movie.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
So it all works.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
We also have the don't don't forget Rocky four. I mean,
if we if we're.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Gonna go down that not one, two or three, but
the fourth one, fourth one, the fourth one.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Yeah. Uh so hey, there you go. I mean, like
a modern era of movies.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Hey, I'm like that guy in the college campus with
the change my Back to the Future best movie in
the modern era of the last fifty years, changed my mind.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
That's what I feel I feel like we should do.
I mean, this is one that's perfect for a whole
question or for phones.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Sure, hey, hey, but let's put up the pole question.
We'll put that up there. We'll get okay, uh, time
out to find out what's trending in the wide world.
Of sports.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But God has been called the Marty McFly of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Oh boy, his parents want to wish he would disappear.
It's Steve de Sager. He's got what's trending.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
That did have a lot, including the music. I'm glad
you brought up to everything and everything.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Kuey Lewis rules.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Sure did the Mets have anything tonight?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
They things were going so well.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
There was no baseball tonight, Steven if you know that
baseball was handled tonight.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Philly's all run from costianos.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yea and another ten two Phillies over the Mets is
the final thirteen hits for Philadelphia. The Cardinals had beaten
the Red six to one. Marlin's a six two winner
against the Braves. White Sox were seven to one winners
at the Blue Jays today Seattle a nine to four
winner at the Cubs. Is cal Rawley had two more homers.
(25:55):
He has twenty nine this year. The Yankees have been
beaten at home. Orioles beat him with two in the
top of the eight, five to three the final, even
though Aaron Judge had three hits, including a home run
his twenty seventh of the season. The Rangers and Jacob
de Grom won six to two at Pittsburgh. In the
late games, Nationals leading the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw won nothing.
(26:16):
Royals have an early home run at San Diego won
nothing over the Padres, now top of the fourth and Yes,
Fernando Tetist Junior is playing despite being hit by pitch
last night. As for the managers, they're not participating tonight.
San Diego's Mike Shield, LA's Dave Roberts getting one game
suspensions after what happened last night late in the game
(26:37):
in La Padres, closer Robert Suarez was suspended three games
for hitting Shoe Otani on purpose. He has appealed. In
the WNBA, Dallas was two and eleven, but gotta win
at Connecticut eighty six eighty three, Page Beckers twenty one points.
Connecticut now two and eleven. NBA Finals Game seven will
be Sunday, Indiana at Oklahoma City. The NBA Draft starts
(26:58):
on Wednesday. Hanley Cup Final average just two and a
half million viewers on TNT plus three point eight million
in Canada. US men soccer plays again Sunday on Fox
TV against Haiti. Scottie Scheffler is tied for the lead
at the Travelers, as is Justin Thomas, who shot a
second round sixty four. Jason Day is one shot back
(27:19):
in Connecticut. And as far as the Brewers game tonight,
this rookie for Milwaukee, Jacob Misserowski in his second major
league start through six perfect innings and then allowed a
lead off walk at Minnesota and a home run in
the seventh, So in his big league career he's actually
allowed a hit now. But yes, it is still a
(27:41):
lead for the Milwaukee Brewers, eight to two at Minnesota
in the top of the eighth.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve the Jason Smiths row
with Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
All right, so now we're looking ahead to Game seven,
which we get Sunday, finally, mercifully, the NBA season is
about to come to an end, and everybody's looking forward
to the draft. We'll all get back on the board,
maybe the nixill hire or coach. We had NBA free
agency coming up in a week or two after that,
(28:06):
which could see a lot of big names moved. It's
kind of like it's weird. We kind of have to
get past the pesky Finals. To get to where Okay,
now we're all back in right. Like it's like when
you go go to someone's house to play poker and
they say, we're having a big poker night. All right, great,
and there's like fifteen people there and there's like two
tables and you're playing, uh, you're playing no limit texas
hold them and as the games go on, okay and
all right, well, one person gets a limited li and
(28:27):
then like the people on the couch hanging out talking
are just waiting for the game to end because it's
down to two people, and you're like, okay, can we
do this week and start another game? And we're all
just sitting around waiting for you two to somehow finish this,
and it takes forever because the pre people want to win,
and then you wind.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Up having to split the pot. All right, it's one
of the things, Hey we want to get and then okay,
hey it's over pool.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Everybody gets back in. Like that's where we're at right now.
We're waiting to get back in, waiting.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
But just that, like that, all those teams that had
been vanquished and we're on the boat all those uh
weeks ago, suddenly they have relevance. Suddenly guys are gonna
get that uncomfortable call from their agent. By the way,
you're getting packaged and you're getting sent to Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Who is it is today? My birthday is today? Come on, guys,
come on, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Kid around like that. That's not funny.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All right, Well I'll be out. Well, Mike Brown's are
pretty good. Oh no, he's oh oh wow, okay uh.
But going into game seven, I said from the beginning
the way these games are gonna go five, six and seven,
home home, home, Thunder win Game seven. This is where
shay Gilgess Alexander has a Yannis twenty twenty one Game
(29:39):
six like performance in the championship game right, I said
earlier this series, he's got to come out and go
for forty in this next game and put the team
on his shoulders.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
He did.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
He actually went for thirty five, but he scored the
last thirteen points. This is gonna be one of those
nights where, yes, a guy that's averaging over thirty points
in the NBA playoffs, that is, you're one of the
few people to ever do it.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
He's gonna go for.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Fifty on Sunday against the Pacers free throws. It will
be twenty out of twenty two from the line. Fifty
points for SGA as they win the title. The Thunder
win big and he puts a big exclamation point on
the season. He's got it in him. I kind of
feel like we're still waiting for the for him to explode,
even though he's had a great NBA Finals. He's scoring
(30:23):
thirty thirty five a game, and we're kind of feel
like we're waiting for him to explode and have that
big trademark game to win it all. He is due
for an all timer. We're due for an All timer.
SGA goes for fifty on Sunday in Game seven.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Wow looking pooh yeah that'd be Friday. See. You know
picked him before this series right to win in six.
The no show just really kind of frankly pisses me off,
Like I'm still mad about Game six and that lack
of effort just and I'm not leting to go. So
I hope they both lose because I don't want Haliburton
(30:57):
to win either from his no show on Game five.
So right now I'm hoping for a push. Well not
in the betting markets, because that's just not good for
anybody minus eight, minus nine, depending on when you're getting
in on your okay, Cee love there. I'd love to
see SGA do it with that kind of kind of
proficiency because it'll drive everybody nuts. Since he only hits
(31:20):
a couple of threes every once in a while, this
would be all mid range and free throws, which is
what the everybody's told us doesn't work in the NBA,
So maybe everybody doesn't. You know, it hits the brakes
really hard and decides to rebuild, restructure, retool things going forward.
I'll take the thunder to win. I don't. I don't
think you're getting the heroics there. I think this is
(31:41):
where some of your secondary cast dials things in. But
I will say, you can just make your bold prediction
now he'll have more field goals made than turnovers on
like game six. Oh, I thought you're gonna say he'll
have more He'll have more field goals made than free throws,
which I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I don't know about the chance.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It's gonna be a twenty free throw kind of night.
There is no question about it.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
It will be a march to immortality for Shay Gilgess Alexander.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
He's at home.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
He's gonna get to the line the bench. What look,
the support players will play better. Right, the entire the
entire game six strategy went out the window early. We
I mean when when TJ McConnell out rebounded Isaiah Hartenstein
for that ball in the second quarter, I knew they
had quit and they were done right, So you know,
they know they laid an egg and they let the
(32:31):
Pacers play the game. The Pacers have wanted to play
the whole series. This is gonna be a different story.
They have always rebounded, They've always bounced back. I said
it was going set. Nothing has changed my mind. Everything
is going according to plan. But give me that big
time Sunday Wow, all time great performance. We'll compare it. Hey,
what was better SGA in a clinching game? Yan is
(32:52):
in a clinching game because he was like I think
he had like fifteen rebounds in that game that Yanna
has had what he scored when they won in twenty
twenty one. So yeah, no, I'm all in on SGA
having an all time performance on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Well he owes he owes America.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Well yeah, yeah, everybody who voted for him for MVP,
because now.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
They're going, maybe I should have voted for TJ. McConnell
for MVP. Maybe he's the real guy.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
No, and then I mean Jalen Williams. Everybody was trying
to coronate and raise him up to some level. Even
Scotty Pippa's like, what are we doing? What are we doing?
Like that's not quite the Brady or Jordan thing, but
it's damn close when we're talking about decorated historical figures
(33:35):
in these games, Like, hey, let's compare this guy. Has
he wont anything yet? No, he went for forty. What
do you do the next night he went for minus
forty and his plus minus.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I don't think you go for minus far. I think
he gets saddled with a minus forty. Well, you know
what you contribute by sucking ready for a new job.

when it comes to the biggest story of the week.
That's coming up a minute, but first time for the
Play of the Day. Brought to you by ti Iraq.
For over forty years, tire Rack's been helping customers find

(34:48):
Shipped fast and free backed by free Road, has protection

when you score twice on the same play, you get
to be the play of the Day's left center Field
Pretty Dame Taylor's pack at the Law the top the law?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Whoever run? Is any two more guys running? Signs? What
time of the paint? That's how bad the Mets are?
The Phillies score twice at the same time.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
That show Apple TV on the call, Yes, the Phillies
part of what was it twenty six to two today?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Uh, I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
The Mets are just not going to win again. They're
They're just not going to win again. Mike, you know what,
we no longer have to hear ever again?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
What's that point? Who has the best record in the
National League? That is true?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, that would be the Dodgers.
You can't sit here and say it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
It doesn't matter again this year when fortune favors you,
you decide to say, oh, hey, guts, who is the best? Right? No,
it either matters or it doesn't. But you got to
pick a lane. You gotta pick a late. It either
matters or it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
It's over. I mean right now it matters.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
No, no, no, no, no, pick a lane either.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
You're asking him to make a steps judgment right now,
so obviously, I mean his opinion could have changed.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Oh no, no, I'm just gonna get over. I'm just
gonna say what. You have to go its June. It's
just because it's a series. No longer have it. You
know what, there's I celebrate championships. It's a series in June.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
There is evidently a series something you can point to
that caused the Mets to start flailing as they did.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Look, I keep going back to blowing that four to
one lead in the eighth inning a week ago, the
first game against the Rays. It's been from a week
agos not making the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
That's gonna be. That's good, No, it is.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
It is aging.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Well, but you know, based on the recent circumstance. But
evidently Mike Francis met Frank the Tank and was hanging
out with him last last week and they haven't won since.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Oh, okay, so it's a Frank's Frank the Tank's fault. Okay, Well,
I always want to try to. I always want to
try to. I'll blame him too. I always want to
try to find blame. It's got to be somebody else's
fault that's not my own.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
So I like that. I'm well, you're you chose the
Mets your full I'm digging it, man.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
I'm digging you did it. You've made it a lifetime
and said, you know, pity me. I'm a white I'm
a white Sox fan. So what you look, who's talking?
But all of that, you know, the deal with the devil,
whatever it is, I can't wait to see it. Come
to fruition, whatever that payoff is for you in your
sporting universe.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I'm so digging that may. It's all everybody else's fault,
not me.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Uh. Now, The biggest story of the week in the NBA,
and and something that sent shockwaves through because nobody really
knew it was coming, was obviously the sale of the
Lakers for ten billion dollars to Mark Walter, who owns.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Part of the Dodgers as well. Uh, what's going to
happen next?
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Right, everyone's know what's gonna happen now, Mark Walter is in,
Jeanie Buss is staying on as governor for an indetermined
amount of time. All right, I'll be able to tell
you what's gonna happen next. And Frostburg doesn't deserve this,
but I'm gonna give it to him. First of all,
this is going to be the last time owners don't
buy teams to let somebody else run the team. Okay,
that doesn't happen. But Mark Walter wants to get used
(38:04):
to the NBA. He wants to come in and douce Walter. Okay,
and maybe that was part of the Uh, maybe that
was part of the deal. Is that Genie Buss gets
to be on for a little while and kind of
ride off into the sunset whatever kind of tour she
wants to have. But she's not gonna be around more
than a year, all right. In fact, I wouldn't be
surprised the next season finishes very quietly, Genie Bus walks away,
(38:25):
or it's announced at some point, because again, people don't
buy teams to have other other people run them, right,
especially someone that already owns the team.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
How awkward is that?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
This sounds like it's something that's pr that was put
in the contract. It's probably gonna be a year and
that's it.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
The best news for the Lakers, as I will tell
you this, He's not gonna come in here. New ownership
doesn't come in and say, well, we want to see
how things go for a little while. No, no, no,
Not with Lebron James nearing the end of a window
where he can win, Not with Luka Doncic here and
the excitement that you have. He's gonna come in and
I'll tell you what two things are gonna have happened,
because I went when when the sale was made, I said,
(39:03):
this could be good news for the Lakers because maybe
they're they're new and it's gonna be a new way
of doing things. They will probably spend more money. It's
not gonna be run mom and pop wise. Uh you know,
maybe it's gonna be good for the Lakers that they're
sold and they're gonna come in with a bang and
I'll give you this. I'll give you this Mike Breen
double bang off of here. Number one. Luca gets his
extension this summer. He gets his he gets his three
(39:24):
year extension with the Lakers this summer, and they go
out and spend on another star or big roster editions.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
They make a splash.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Mark Walter is not gonna wade in and dip his
tone into the water and see what the temperature is
and wait it all out.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
They're gonna come in. They're gonna say Luca is our guy.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
They're gonna go get the guys they want to and
say let's go with this championship window because they understand, look,
how many more years is Lebron gonna be the guy
he is. Let's go, let's do it now, and then
the year after this they'll get money back because Lebron
will probably retire or go play somewhere else, so it's
not like all of a sudden they're stuck with all
this money they get out of Lebron after but they
will go out this year Luca gets that extension and
(40:05):
they go get another star player or big additions to
help them win.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
They spend a lot.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Well, I'm working on getting my PhD to understand this
Kaka Amy system that they have about aprons and caps
and what's what's fuzzy math, because they're thirty million dollars
over the cap if Finny Smith and Lebron James opt in,
So now now you've got to start playing having fun
with numbers. And then they still have to figure out
(40:30):
how to get back that hundred million for Luca off
the books that the Mavericks stole from him by giving
him away.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah well, I mean, yeah, well we'll solve one problem
at a time. There's one problem there. Look at Luca's
gonna be there a long long time. It's okay, all right, Luke,
if you're really if you want to be NBA owner rich,
you're gonna have to wait a couple more years, okay.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Just it's just fun because you have the all right,
who is that basketball executive that rivals what they did
with Andrew Friedman and that brain trust.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Just the Lakers will get big splashes this offseason, and
Luca's extension is going to be at the top of it.
Exit out by to Fresca, Exit Swollen Dome, Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon. Coming up next, we get back into the
biggest controversial topic that doesn't seem like it's.

tirerac dot Com is the way tire buying should be.
And yes, while I am probably about as mad as
Dave Roberts was at Mike Shult last night the suspended
Dave Roberts and Mike Shult, which we'll get to in
a second, I've already come to terms with the fact
that Mets are never going to win again.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
So I'm okay, I'm okay.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
I'm expecting a loss every day for now till the
end of the season. U Pitcher's gonna get hurt every day.
We're gonna lose every day, and that's how the season's
gonna go. So I've accepted it. Mike Carmon, You're.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Never gonna beat the streak. I mean, all of these
things come together in one giant conflagration of chaos. Yeah, yeah,
I gotta fight the word right off. You did.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
It's pretty good. I love that word conflagration.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
But I mean, did you make a deal with the
devil about a week ago? I mean something happened that
suddenly it all just went to hell? Now, what playing
the Dodgers That if I made into your heads.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
If I made a deal with the devil, I'd have
something positive to show for it.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
No, no, no, But did you make it for the Jets?
Did you make it for a a nicks Hire that
wasn't Doc Rivers. I mean, there are a lot of
different variables into this equation of eternal damnation that you
may may have signed up for, maybe unwittingly too. Maybe
you add a donut, No itll gotten donut forever be
(02:39):
on your head. If that was the case, I would
be definitely chess.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Your cat, grinning it along, going I know something you
don't know. I'm just I'm really at the fact that, okay,
they're never gonna win again, they're gonna lose again. That
it was a five game lead about a week and
a half ago and now they're going to be trailing
the Phillies by a game going into tomorrow would have just.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Been a lot of pain until whatever it I mean,
because look, you just have to go. I mean, you
can build pull the full job here right, it's misery, misery, misery,
and then you get salvation in the end.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Whereas here in this so you met like Joe Bluth,
you mean you mean job actually like from.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
The body, No, no, no, I mean, but just always remember,
like with the Lakers, situation. People were always wondering, you
know how they operated. The money was actually in the
banana stand. Yeah, and you have other ancillary incomes. It
was all there the whole time.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Come on, a guy at a five thousand dollars met
T shirt, Come on. Uh, I went over, I went
through my Dave Roberts phase of being upset and now
just accepted that, Okay, we're just never gonna win again.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yeah, a lot of saltiness still flowing out of last night, buddy.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yeah, we saw that. You look the big headline in
the last hour and a half. Look, we spent the
last hour of the show on this last night because
it was an insane end of the Padres Dodgers series. Uh,
you saw show hey get hit in the ninth inning
to tease get hit in the ninth inning. Eight hit
by pitches over the course of the Dodger Padre series,
(04:05):
which is the best rivalry outside of Ohio State Michigan
in all of sports, Robert Suarez got three games and
both managers got suspended. They were both serving their suspensions tonight,
so Dave Roberts will not be managing the team tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Neither will Padres manager Mike.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Shilt, and I really think, you know, I hope things
don't cool off, because I really want to see these
guys go at at In August, they ran at each
other in bump stomachs before Dave Roberts yelled at him, going, yeah,
when it come kicked that ass. I mean, that's exactly
what he was saying. I thought we were gonna see,
you know what, an over fifty fight. I thought that
we were as close to happening well.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
And then Roberts did the old day hold me back, No,
really hold me back.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
They kind of both did. They kind of were both.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
All the string string.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
I was like a Syracuse parking lot at that two
fifteen when you when I used to watch teas get
settled in my younger days, Hey, these guys are gon fight.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Let's go out and watch.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And then he said, oh, you don't want no beef.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
But all of that, you know last night, I mean,
the Suarez thing was absurd. Three to zero count on
Otani and then hits him up in between the shoulders.
And you know Otani is not only I mean he's peacemaker.
He should take the helmet from John Cena and just
pick up season two of that series. Sorry, Sna you're out.
They can't see anyway, so it doesn't matter. Just reshoot
(05:24):
the scenes with Otani because he told the Dodgers to
calm down, went over and smiled real pretty and told
the Padres in no uncertain terms, beat it. Let's stop
the It stopped the insanity. But you know every Padres
guy got to a microphone as fast as he could
to call out Dodger fans and call out the Dodgers
(05:46):
and Dave Roberts and you name it.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I'm just so glad all my candles I lit last
night for worked.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Hey, you better, you better like those candles man after
he got hit in the hand, look, because I mean
that was that was a scary moment. You know, folks
want to say, yeah, you understand whatever you say, you don't.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
I wonder about the Padres.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah, you know, I was. I was going to the
baseball loving world as a whole because we need them
to stay good Frostburg and come to meet a terrible person.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
I'm just upset that we couldn't extend this series to tonight,
Like come on, man, you can't can't go four games
at eight hit by pitches And it ends with Tatis
and Otani hitting each other and then Robertson shilt bumping
each other like it's a reality show where okay, you
dress up with with tires around you and you got
to knock the other person off to you know, to
get a you.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Know, a meal for the night or whatever it is.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Like they're they're in those little roller balls that they
do now where you're you're spun down a hill.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Okay to wear this challenge for your team. If you
knock the other person down, you win a meal for
the night. The other team losing doesn't get to eat. Okay,
here we go. What's the meal?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
It's grubs? Grubs everybody lion coming to the theater. Hear you?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
You mean grubhub delivers no grubs different different things for grubub,
different from Grubhuba different.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Well, I mean they may still sponsor and deliver said grubs,
but no, it's actual grubs.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Yeah, you are getting grub Hub. Oh but it's actual grubs.
Oh boy, I don't know if they deliver those. I
mean yeah, like they might eats. I mean, you know,
everybody's got a price.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
But I mean Tatis getting hit and obviously Frostburg echoing
and bringing back at the twenty twenty two suspension for
ped use. His inability to get out of the way
or turn his back to take that one you know
e in the rib cage is also on him, but
got hit in the hand. Got had an anxious moment,
(07:53):
which is why there was still, uh, you know, the
the issues that we had with Oughtani getting hit at
the ends, like yeah, well you hit our star, We're
gonna hit yours again. I mean they here we go.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I need I need to see Dave Roberts and Mike Shilt.
I need to see it. I know.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Now we get seven weeks of a gestation that's too
long gestation though, it's gonna feel like what it's like
leading up to the Tyson Paul fight, which I'm like,
oh my god, I don't care about this, but.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Yet I'm noting bombarded with it every day. This at
least i'd look forward to.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now. Dave Roberts has a pretty clean and easy signature.
You could start sending letters in his name, allegedly to
Mike Shilt to keep the fires burning.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Dear Mike, meet me outside in ten minutes, Dave, all right,
I'm outside.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Where are you? Where are you? Wait the calls coming
from inside the building.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh no, uh so uh Dodgers getting action in a
few minutes without Dave Roberts tonight and Mike Shilt. Big
problem so far for the Padres. They trail the Royals
one nothing in the bottom of the second inning. But
look a big Friday tonight. We got a big look ahead.
We had two big Bowl predictions coming your way in
(09:02):
a few minutes. But today is a really big day.
Like it feels like, okay, everybody's out of school now.
It's just about everybody is out of school, whether you
had your last week this week, and here everybody's getting ready,
getting their summer plans and in place. And here we
are today the biggest summer blockbuster, the movie that is
given credit for, uh basically ushering in the modern era
(09:25):
of filmmaking. Jaws turns fifty today. Fifty years ago today,
Jaws was released in theaters.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
And you know, it really is amazing.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
You know, I mean, you've heard the stories over the years,
the shark didn't really work, we couldn't use it as
much and because it and you know, how does it.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Hold up now over the last few years. It's a shark.
Really look real.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah, that shark looked better in Jaws one than it
did in any of the subsequent films.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Well, because the there's a shark got beat up more
by the time you get to four, Like Rocky and
Rocky four. He wasn't quite the same boxer.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
He wasn't well. But they put no money into the
shark there after. No, No, yeah, Bruce was at his best,
even being non functional in the first one.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Hey, no spoilers.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Oh sorry, I mean, and you talk about that being
a divine moment because the movie is as good as
it is because you don't see the shark as much.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Until the end of the movie. I said, no spoilers.
It's just I didn't say what happens to the shark.
I didn't say. I didn't say what I Joe Thornton
is actually riding the shark. So there you go.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
That's what happened at the other the movie nicely, you know,
and it ramps up the anxiety of the movie because
it's this big shark that you just kind of see
and was a whole different way to make movies, and that, oh,
here's a big threat that can just hang over the
movie and then you give it to everybody at the end.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It's like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Yeah, and you've seen that be in a very popular
characteristic of movies over the over the past fifty years.
But like Jaws is the first one to do that.
And really, you know, the era of movies is divided
into into two parts, the pre nineteen seventy five era
and nineteen seventy five and after, because this was what
ushered in the big blockbuster. This is when we started
(11:04):
getting blockbuster movies in the summer, people go to the
movies all the time, and movies started to get more
adventurous and more outlandish, and not just the big sweeping
seventies thrillers and tear jerkers and comedies that were only
could be really really smart, and you know, that was
what he Allen did comedies, and that was it, Like
(11:25):
it was a very much different world of movies. And
then Jaws ushered in this entire modern era with the
blockbuster that I think is more of its its lasting
impact on movies, because hey, Jaw's great blockbuster. You could
talk about summer blockbusters that you've seen in big movies
of the past and what they've made in action movies,
but this was the first one that said, okay, we
have a whole new era of movies that we judge
(11:46):
for fifty years because of Jaws.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
No, it's it's brilliance at every turn. A Robert Shaw,
you know, what was his temperament on a given day?
You know, obviously he in the bottle their battles. Richard
Dreyfus also a guy not not exactly warm and fuzzy.
He's gotten better with things over the years. He actually
appears in a shark movie that just premiered in the
(12:11):
streaming world here in the last month, talking about old
days and whatever and battles with sharks. How about that.
But you know, and then obviously Roy Scheider did more
than just tap dance because he was in you know,
all those other all that jazz and everything else. But
it's the perfect movie. And then you got, you know,
the the mayor gets re elected spoiler alert, Yes, somehow happens.
(12:36):
I mean, I could make a bunch of one liners
and you could pick whoever you want politically to that,
but it's not, you know, it's it's not a perfect movie.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's oh yeah, we can't close the beach because look
at these seventy five people that are here on the beach.
You're not making money on the beach money there. It's
not like vendors are making kavs. You could have closed
the beach if you wanted to.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Now you'd have hot dog vendors out there in the
whole nine yard.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I mean, you'd have all the but I mean they
didn't have the budget to go pick because they had
to keep paying for Bruce trying.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
To get into work. Where are you, hurry up not
tying on? So don't wait for me.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
Hooper drives the boat.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Come down here and shovel some of this man. Hooper
drives the boat. Chief. Yeah, I watched it again today.
It had a nice introduction from Spielberg as well. Oh nice, Okay, yeah, no,
it's pretty good. It's, uh, you know, one of those
let's promote it as broughte the hell out of it
at the theme parks. They're doing a bunch of you know,
photo ops and all of that. Uh, and then obviously
(13:48):
popcorn buckets being all the rage. Uh, you got to
have a bunch of those. So yeah, selling the hell
out of it. But you know it's still one of
those that that get you. Oh it's ninety seven on
Rotten Tomatoes. I want to know who the three percent
of dopes are. They voted against it just because it's
the make it.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
The makers of of all the other shark movies that
didn't make It's the people who made Orca. Remember when
they tried was pretty good with Orca. After No, we're
gonna do it about a killer whale. Oh, it's not
gonna make any money. I think people did Free Willie.
That probably is uh people at the negative reviews as well.
What was the one with all the sharks and Sam
Jackson not Deep Impacted Deep?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Was it Deep?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Michael Rapaport, Yeah, yeah, yeah, they were all the sharks.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
They were trying to all the and they were trying
to make them really smart.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
What's his name? Sam Jackson?
Speaker 4 (14:42):
In the.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Big Thing, We're Gonna stick together and nobody's got Oh wow,
Deep Blue Sea?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Deep you had because you had ll cool J with
the title song Deep My Head is like a shark
fin Yeah, it was great.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
He had his bird Thomas. It was Cary wh was
in that right from MTV Remote Control. Wasn't she in
Deep Blue Sea? No?
Speaker 2 (15:04):
No, no, she was an anaconda. Oh that is like
a saffron Burrows. You know what I always stelling scars
gard I mean one of the greatest of all time.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, yeah, well.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Because one was movie about a big snake in the river.
This was I don't know that they care so much
about Jaws. No, it's about the other Shark movies.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Yeah. Now Anacon is coming back, I mean in pog form.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But like you got all of that.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
It's just brilliant, right, I mean, sorry, Thomas Jane was
the was the other actor. I conflated him with what's
his name?
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Eckhart? But no, it's good.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It's it's it's a classic shark movie. Uh, feel good
summer blockbuster, except for the little kid because you knew. Uh,
But I mean it's got one of the greatest opens ever.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
And who knew that two notes could could launch a
franchise and billions of dollars of commerce.
Speaker 1 (15:54):

we've kind of danced in a little bit earlier. It's
at some point in the show in the last couple
of years, but you know, it makes sense to talk
about this today with the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws, and
everybody's getting ready to go to the movies this weekend,
probably go see twenty eight years later.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Did you wind up going seeing it last night?
Speaker 1 (18:26):

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Okay, hey there's that adult all by himself in the

Speaker 2 (18:46):
Hey no, no, no, it's still doing big box office.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Okay, all right, no, it's okay.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Look, eighth fiftieth anniversary of Jaws and its legacy is
really birthing the modern era of movies, right, you can,
you can. You can break up the history of movies
into into two time periods, from nos Feraitu to nineteen
seventy five to Jaws, and then Jaws.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
To where we are right now.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Because not the terrible nest noos Ferantu that came out
last year.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
The one was that the ways back in the beginning, Yeah,
all the way back like in nineteen eight whatever. It
was like, you know, the eight minute film of nos
Feratu with no you know words or anything.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
No, it was a good one.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I will I will tell you this.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
If you want to talk about the best movie of
the modern era of Luke, Yeah, let's go, okay, go
back to nineteen nineteen seventy five and after and you
know it's it's a conversation I've had my wife and
I have this on once in a while, have this conversation,
and it really is hard for me to say anything
other than and look, I have my favorite movies of
the last fifty years. I you know, look almost famous
(19:48):
in Caddy Shack and on Top Gun and all the
ways we talk about. But if I'm good, if I'm
going the ted Lassoh, this is the best song. This
is my favorite song. The best movie of the modern
era is Back to the Future. Now you think about
you think what I mean what? The movie has absolutely
everything you would.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Want in a movie. It has great acting. It's got
great action, comedy. The writing is terrific. They teach a
course on it.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I think at usc about it's a perfect screenplay, Like
this is how you write a screenplay. It's got drama,
it's just the man. It's got thrills, it's the soundtrack
is phenomenal, like anything this movie you want out of
a movie, Back to the Future as it's got one liners,
it's got, it's got I mean, I know, I've seen
the movie over a hundred times, and still the scene
(20:34):
at the end when he's trying to plug it into
the you know, plug in the clock tower, so Marty
Kennet eighty eight miles an hour on the street, it's
still it's still so thrilling. It's I mean again, I've
seen it a hundred times at least, and it's that
movie that just it's got something for everybody. Whatever you
like in a movie, it is there. It's like, hey,
Purple Rain is probably the greatest album in the last
(20:56):
fifty years. It's got something for everybody. It's got a
great rock song, it's got a great ballad, it's got
a great top forty song, it's got a it's got
one of the best dance songs out there, it's got experimental,
it's got everything you want. Right, This is Back to
the Future that literally has everything you would want in
a movie.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Like I don't know how they were able to exceed
on all of those levels, to have that.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
All in one movie. Because certain movie that. Hey, our
movies funnier than Back to the Future. Yeah, our movie
is a little bit more thrilling than Back to the Future.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Is acting in some movies better than back Yeah, but
nobody does all of that in a movie better than
Back to the Future does outside.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Of clips and reenactments at the theme park. I don't
know that I've watched Back to the Future in about
twenty years.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
Uh, yeah, Nightly Entertainment.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
No, it's I mean, look, I've probably watched Jaws the
one hundred times that you've mentioned. I know I've I've
watched The Blues Brothers forty five years ago.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Today. You're from Chicago, you kind of have to.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Well, but I mean, you talk about soundtrack whatever else.
I do concede that, you know, we did find that sound.
Marvin did get us that sound we needed for rock
and roll. So we have that UCLA Dodger Frank reminds
us that we also have twenty eight years ago today,
Batman and Robin, you want to talk about great one line?
Speaker 3 (22:14):
Come on, maybe you know you can't you can't win,
you can't ruin.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Hey, one of the greatest movies incentive by throwing out
Batman and no no wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
No no man fran no no, no, I got I
got a lot of this together.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:25):
We talked about Deep Blue Sea, which had Thomas Jane
in it. Thomas Jane also starred in another movie that
included sharks that is referenced in Jaws. That was the
USS Indianapolis, starring Nicholas Cage. Okay, so we get that
in Boom Boom and also had Mario Van Peebles and
Tom Sizemore. That's got an eighteen percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
(22:46):
But I also mentioned say eighteen percent eighteen yeh. One
of my favorite films. Nineteen eighty nine also gave us
the Superhero movie and that's Batman. I mean, yeah, you
had Superman and Christopher Reid, but that that was a
decade prior, right, I mean, we just commemorated the release
of Superman two. But what was on that soundtrack? Yeah,
(23:06):
that's right. Soundtrack was released on this day all those
years ago, Prince. Because party Man was a damn jam
by the way, Blues Brothers the Vulture Van great video.
And then when he was roller skating around with the
Batman outfit, that was cool.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
That was black Brothers could make when you could make
songs like that, where it's just we're just gonna have
music and we're gonna just play like record scratch lines
from the movie.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Oh and that's a song.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Yeah, we put that out great, no one's gonna sing it.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Just get a Prince go Batman and then we're just
gonna play Vicky Veil saying something, and Michael Keaton said,
and that's a song, and it's a it's a top
of the charts for a good couple of months. That
that's what we can put that out there.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
That's a song. I see the future and it will be.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
By the way, the Blues Brothers, you also had the
subplot that they could have done a whole movie around
with the carry Fisher subplot. Well, now I wanted to
see what happened to the good old Blues Boys brother's band.
We could have done, we could have done to spin
off of them. I mean, we had all sorts stuff.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
By the way, it's John Goodman's birthday, who later was
in Yeah, that's right, Blues Brothers two thousand.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
You can't, dude, you can't talk about these movies and
then give me the awful sequels that are out there. Yeah,
but look at how I wrapped it all in a
big hug. I'm hey, remember Back to the Future two
and three, how great they were. Come on, man, I'm
not No, you're ruining the sanctity of those movies by saying, oh, yeah,
Blues Brothers two thousands, who can't forget Joe Morton and
and whoever else was in that mean.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
Joe Morton who was later part of a Batman movie.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
So it all works.
Speaker 2 (24:35):
We also have the don't don't forget Rocky four. I mean,
if we if we're.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Gonna go down that not one, two or three, but
the fourth one, fourth one, the fourth one.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Yeah. Uh so hey, there you go. I mean, like
a modern era of movies.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Hey, I'm like that guy in the college campus with
the change my Back to the Future best movie in
the modern era of the last fifty years, changed my mind.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
That's what I feel I feel like we should do.
I mean, this is one that's perfect for a whole
question or for phones.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Sure, hey, hey, but let's put up the pole question.
We'll put that up there. We'll get okay, uh, time
out to find out what's trending in the wide world.
Of sports.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
But God has been called the Marty McFly of Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Oh boy, his parents want to wish he would disappear.
It's Steve de Sager. He's got what's trending.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
That did have a lot, including the music. I'm glad
you brought up to everything and everything.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Kuey Lewis rules.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Sure did the Mets have anything tonight?
Speaker 2 (25:27):
They things were going so well.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
There was no baseball tonight, Steven if you know that
baseball was handled tonight.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Philly's all run from costianos.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Yea and another ten two Phillies over the Mets is
the final thirteen hits for Philadelphia. The Cardinals had beaten
the Red six to one. Marlin's a six two winner
against the Braves. White Sox were seven to one winners
at the Blue Jays today Seattle a nine to four
winner at the Cubs. Is cal Rawley had two more homers.
(25:55):
He has twenty nine this year. The Yankees have been
beaten at home. Orioles beat him with two in the
top of the eight, five to three the final, even
though Aaron Judge had three hits, including a home run
his twenty seventh of the season. The Rangers and Jacob
de Grom won six to two at Pittsburgh. In the
late games, Nationals leading the Dodgers and Clayton Kershaw won nothing.
(26:16):
Royals have an early home run at San Diego won
nothing over the Padres, now top of the fourth and Yes,
Fernando Tetist Junior is playing despite being hit by pitch
last night. As for the managers, they're not participating tonight.
San Diego's Mike Shield, LA's Dave Roberts getting one game
suspensions after what happened last night late in the game
(26:37):
in La Padres, closer Robert Suarez was suspended three games
for hitting Shoe Otani on purpose. He has appealed. In
the WNBA, Dallas was two and eleven, but gotta win
at Connecticut eighty six eighty three, Page Beckers twenty one points.
Connecticut now two and eleven. NBA Finals Game seven will
be Sunday, Indiana at Oklahoma City. The NBA Draft starts
(26:58):
on Wednesday. Hanley Cup Final average just two and a
half million viewers on TNT plus three point eight million
in Canada. US men soccer plays again Sunday on Fox
TV against Haiti. Scottie Scheffler is tied for the lead
at the Travelers, as is Justin Thomas, who shot a
second round sixty four. Jason Day is one shot back
(27:19):
in Connecticut. And as far as the Brewers game tonight,
this rookie for Milwaukee, Jacob Misserowski in his second major
league start through six perfect innings and then allowed a
lead off walk at Minnesota and a home run in
the seventh, So in his big league career he's actually
allowed a hit now. But yes, it is still a
(27:41):
lead for the Milwaukee Brewers, eight to two at Minnesota
in the top of the eighth.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Back to you, Thank you, Steve the Jason Smiths row
with Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
All right, so now we're looking ahead to Game seven,
which we get Sunday, finally, mercifully, the NBA season is
about to come to an end, and everybody's looking forward
to the draft. We'll all get back on the board,
maybe the nixill hire or coach. We had NBA free
agency coming up in a week or two after that,
(28:06):
which could see a lot of big names moved. It's
kind of like it's weird. We kind of have to
get past the pesky Finals. To get to where Okay,
now we're all back in right. Like it's like when
you go go to someone's house to play poker and
they say, we're having a big poker night. All right, great,
and there's like fifteen people there and there's like two
tables and you're playing, uh, you're playing no limit texas
hold them and as the games go on, okay and
all right, well, one person gets a limited li and
(28:27):
then like the people on the couch hanging out talking
are just waiting for the game to end because it's
down to two people, and you're like, okay, can we
do this week and start another game? And we're all
just sitting around waiting for you two to somehow finish this,
and it takes forever because the pre people want to win,
and then you wind.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Up having to split the pot. All right, it's one
of the things, Hey we want to get and then okay,
hey it's over pool.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Everybody gets back in. Like that's where we're at right now.
We're waiting to get back in, waiting.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
But just that, like that, all those teams that had
been vanquished and we're on the boat all those uh
weeks ago, suddenly they have relevance. Suddenly guys are gonna
get that uncomfortable call from their agent. By the way,
you're getting packaged and you're getting sent to Sacramento.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Who is it is today? My birthday is today? Come on, guys,
come on, that's fine.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Kid around like that. That's not funny.
Speaker 1 (29:14):
All right, Well I'll be out. Well, Mike Brown's are
pretty good. Oh no, he's oh oh wow, okay uh.
But going into game seven, I said from the beginning
the way these games are gonna go five, six and seven,
home home, home, Thunder win Game seven. This is where
shay Gilgess Alexander has a Yannis twenty twenty one Game
(29:39):
six like performance in the championship game right, I said
earlier this series, he's got to come out and go
for forty in this next game and put the team
on his shoulders.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
He did.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
He actually went for thirty five, but he scored the
last thirteen points. This is gonna be one of those
nights where, yes, a guy that's averaging over thirty points
in the NBA playoffs, that is, you're one of the
few people to ever do it.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
He's gonna go for.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Fifty on Sunday against the Pacers free throws. It will
be twenty out of twenty two from the line. Fifty
points for SGA as they win the title. The Thunder
win big and he puts a big exclamation point on
the season. He's got it in him. I kind of
feel like we're still waiting for the for him to explode,
even though he's had a great NBA Finals. He's scoring
(30:23):
thirty thirty five a game, and we're kind of feel
like we're waiting for him to explode and have that
big trademark game to win it all. He is due
for an all timer. We're due for an All timer.
SGA goes for fifty on Sunday in Game seven.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Wow looking pooh yeah that'd be Friday. See. You know
picked him before this series right to win in six.
The no show just really kind of frankly pisses me off,
Like I'm still mad about Game six and that lack
of effort just and I'm not leting to go. So
I hope they both lose because I don't want Haliburton
(30:57):
to win either from his no show on Game five.
So right now I'm hoping for a push. Well not
in the betting markets, because that's just not good for
anybody minus eight, minus nine, depending on when you're getting
in on your okay, Cee love there. I'd love to
see SGA do it with that kind of kind of
proficiency because it'll drive everybody nuts. Since he only hits
(31:20):
a couple of threes every once in a while, this
would be all mid range and free throws, which is
what the everybody's told us doesn't work in the NBA,
So maybe everybody doesn't. You know, it hits the brakes
really hard and decides to rebuild, restructure, retool things going forward.
I'll take the thunder to win. I don't. I don't
think you're getting the heroics there. I think this is
(31:41):
where some of your secondary cast dials things in. But
I will say, you can just make your bold prediction
now he'll have more field goals made than turnovers on
like game six. Oh, I thought you're gonna say he'll
have more He'll have more field goals made than free throws,
which I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
I don't know about the chance.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
It's gonna be a twenty free throw kind of night.
There is no question about it.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
It will be a march to immortality for Shay Gilgess Alexander.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
He's at home.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
He's gonna get to the line the bench. What look,
the support players will play better. Right, the entire the
entire game six strategy went out the window early. We
I mean when when TJ McConnell out rebounded Isaiah Hartenstein
for that ball in the second quarter, I knew they
had quit and they were done right, So you know,
they know they laid an egg and they let the
(32:31):
Pacers play the game. The Pacers have wanted to play
the whole series. This is gonna be a different story.
They have always rebounded, They've always bounced back. I said
it was going set. Nothing has changed my mind. Everything
is going according to plan. But give me that big
time Sunday Wow, all time great performance. We'll compare it. Hey,
what was better SGA in a clinching game? Yan is
(32:52):
in a clinching game because he was like I think
he had like fifteen rebounds in that game that Yanna
has had what he scored when they won in twenty
twenty one. So yeah, no, I'm all in on SGA
having an all time performance on Sunday.
Speaker 2 (33:04):
Well he owes he owes America.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Well yeah, yeah, everybody who voted for him for MVP,
because now.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
They're going, maybe I should have voted for TJ. McConnell
for MVP. Maybe he's the real guy.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
No, and then I mean Jalen Williams. Everybody was trying
to coronate and raise him up to some level. Even
Scotty Pippa's like, what are we doing? What are we doing?
Like that's not quite the Brady or Jordan thing, but
it's damn close when we're talking about decorated historical figures
(33:35):
in these games, Like, hey, let's compare this guy. Has
he wont anything yet? No, he went for forty. What
do you do the next night he went for minus
forty and his plus minus.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
I don't think you go for minus far. I think
he gets saddled with a minus forty. Well, you know

to be the play of the Day's left center Field
Pretty Dame Taylor's pack at the Law the top the law?
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Whoever run? Is any two more guys running? Signs? What
time of the paint? That's how bad the Mets are?
The Phillies score twice at the same time.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
That show Apple TV on the call, Yes, the Phillies
part of what was it twenty six to two today?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Uh, I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
The Mets are just not going to win again. They're
They're just not going to win again. Mike, you know what,
we no longer have to hear ever again?
Speaker 2 (35:38):
What's that point? Who has the best record in the
National League? That is true?
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Oh no, no, no, no, no, that would be the Dodgers.
You can't sit here and say it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
It doesn't matter again this year when fortune favors you,
you decide to say, oh, hey, guts, who is the best? Right? No,
it either matters or it doesn't. But you got to
pick a lane. You gotta pick a late. It either
matters or it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (35:57):
It's over. I mean right now it matters.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
No, no, no, no, no, pick a lane either.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
You're asking him to make a steps judgment right now,
so obviously, I mean his opinion could have changed.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Oh no, no, I'm just gonna get over. I'm just
gonna say what. You have to go its June. It's
just because it's a series. No longer have it. You
know what, there's I celebrate championships. It's a series in June.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
There is evidently a series something you can point to
that caused the Mets to start flailing as they did.
Speaker 1 (36:31):
Look, I keep going back to blowing that four to
one lead in the eighth inning a week ago, the
first game against the Rays. It's been from a week
agos not making the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
That's gonna be. That's good, No, it is.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
It is aging.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
Well, but you know, based on the recent circumstance. But
evidently Mike Francis met Frank the Tank and was hanging
out with him last last week and they haven't won since.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Oh, okay, so it's a Frank's Frank the Tank's fault. Okay, Well,
I always want to try to. I always want to
try to. I'll blame him too. I always want to
try to find blame. It's got to be somebody else's
fault that's not my own.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
So I like that. I'm well, you're you chose the
Mets your full I'm digging it, man.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
I'm digging you did it. You've made it a lifetime
and said, you know, pity me. I'm a white I'm
a white Sox fan. So what you look, who's talking?
But all of that, you know, the deal with the devil,
whatever it is, I can't wait to see it. Come
to fruition, whatever that payoff is for you in your
sporting universe.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
I'm so digging that may. It's all everybody else's fault,
not me.
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Uh. Now, The biggest story of the week in the NBA,
and and something that sent shockwaves through because nobody really
knew it was coming, was obviously the sale of the
Lakers for ten billion dollars to Mark Walter, who owns.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Part of the Dodgers as well. Uh, what's going to
happen next?
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Right, everyone's know what's gonna happen now, Mark Walter is in,
Jeanie Buss is staying on as governor for an indetermined
amount of time. All right, I'll be able to tell
you what's gonna happen next. And Frostburg doesn't deserve this,
but I'm gonna give it to him. First of all,
this is going to be the last time owners don't
buy teams to let somebody else run the team. Okay,
that doesn't happen. But Mark Walter wants to get used
(38:04):
to the NBA. He wants to come in and douce Walter. Okay,
and maybe that was part of the Uh, maybe that
was part of the deal. Is that Genie Buss gets
to be on for a little while and kind of
ride off into the sunset whatever kind of tour she
wants to have. But she's not gonna be around more
than a year, all right. In fact, I wouldn't be
surprised the next season finishes very quietly, Genie Bus walks away,
(38:25):
or it's announced at some point, because again, people don't
buy teams to have other other people run them, right,
especially someone that already owns the team.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
How awkward is that?
Speaker 1 (38:34):
This sounds like it's something that's pr that was put
in the contract. It's probably gonna be a year and
that's it.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
The best news for the Lakers, as I will tell
you this, He's not gonna come in here. New ownership
doesn't come in and say, well, we want to see
how things go for a little while. No, no, no,
Not with Lebron James nearing the end of a window
where he can win, Not with Luka Doncic here and
the excitement that you have. He's gonna come in and
I'll tell you what two things are gonna have happened,
because I went when when the sale was made, I said,
(39:03):
this could be good news for the Lakers because maybe
they're they're new and it's gonna be a new way
of doing things. They will probably spend more money. It's
not gonna be run mom and pop wise. Uh you know,
maybe it's gonna be good for the Lakers that they're
sold and they're gonna come in with a bang and
I'll give you this. I'll give you this Mike Breen
double bang off of here. Number one. Luca gets his
extension this summer. He gets his he gets his three
(39:24):
year extension with the Lakers this summer, and they go
out and spend on another star or big roster editions.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
They make a splash.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Mark Walter is not gonna wade in and dip his
tone into the water and see what the temperature is
and wait it all out.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
They're gonna come in. They're gonna say Luca is our guy.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
They're gonna go get the guys they want to and
say let's go with this championship window because they understand, look,
how many more years is Lebron gonna be the guy
he is. Let's go, let's do it now, and then
the year after this they'll get money back because Lebron
will probably retire or go play somewhere else, so it's
not like all of a sudden they're stuck with all
this money they get out of Lebron after but they
will go out this year Luca gets that extension and
(40:05):
they go get another star player or big additions to
help them win.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
They spend a lot.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Well, I'm working on getting my PhD to understand this
Kaka Amy system that they have about aprons and caps
and what's what's fuzzy math, because they're thirty million dollars
over the cap if Finny Smith and Lebron James opt in,
So now now you've got to start playing having fun
with numbers. And then they still have to figure out
(40:30):
how to get back that hundred million for Luca off
the books that the Mavericks stole from him by giving
him away.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
Yeah well, I mean, yeah, well we'll solve one problem
at a time. There's one problem there. Look at Luca's
gonna be there a long long time. It's okay, all right, Luke,
if you're really if you want to be NBA owner rich,
you're gonna have to wait a couple more years, okay.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Just it's just fun because you have the all right,
who is that basketball executive that rivals what they did
with Andrew Friedman and that brain trust.
Speaker 1 (41:01):
Just the Lakers will get big splashes this offseason, and
Luca's extension is going to be at the top of it.
Exit out by to Fresca, Exit Swollen Dome, Jason Smith,
Mike Harmon. Coming up next, we get back into the
biggest controversial topic that doesn't seem like it's.
