Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, Welcome in side Happy Wednesday, The Jason Smith Show
with my bas.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Friend Mike Harmon, Well Dressed Hobo.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Tonight's show live for the Fox Sports Radio studios. This
hour brought to you bi ti Iraq. For over forty years,
tire Rack's been open. Customers find the right tires for how,
what and where they drive, shipped fast and free, backed
by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like
mobile tire installation. Tirerac dot Com is the way tire
buying should be. Well, I mean, I feel like it's
(01:01):
a it's a big it's a Burger Wednesday here on
the show. Because there's there's a we have a double
barrel of burger stories. Come in your way, and let's
start with the big one in Major League Baseball before
what happened to me about twenty five minutes ago. Okay, yeah,
so first, because you know, one burger leads to another burger, right, so.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Look, you just have one. It's like a potato chip.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
The Brewers have been the best story in Major League Baseball.
They've been the best team in Major League Baseball. You
can argue they are the best team in Major League Baseball.
They've been red hot, they sweep the Mets, they continue
on that momentum, and today they won their twelfth consecutive
game in a row. But this is big because one
time everybody is a Brewers fan. This is how it ended,
(01:48):
and you get a little hint as to why today
was such a big win from Milwaukee.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Meyer's out of the stretch, the pitch kind of swinging
a mess.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
He struck him out.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Would you like fries with that?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Twelve?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
They're all for the crew, twelve to five your final.
The Brewers with their second longest winning streak in the
regular season in franchise history.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
So there was Brewers TV on the call. Local restaurant
chained George Webb with two b's like Spudweb, except George
web has been promising free burgers for decades depending on
the win streak for Milwaukee Brewers. Now, when they first
were home to the minor League Brewers of the Old
American Association, it was they had to win seventeen games
(02:31):
in a row for the entire city to get free burgers. Well,
they dropped their promotion in a years since, and since
the Milwaukee Brewers they dropped it to twelve. This is
now the third time in the last forty years that
the entire city of Milwaukee has won free Hamburgers or
some kind of burgers from local restaurant chain George Web
(02:52):
Free for the entire city, not like, hey, if you
have tickets to a game, it's hey, it's free tacos,
Like when the Lakers hold a team under one hundred points.
This is the entire city somehow gets free burgers. I
don't I don't know how you pull this off. How
did Like I would walk into a bunch of different
by yeah, hey, I gotta get my burger to get
my burger, to get my burger, and my burger, Like
can you even say it's gonna be between nine and
(03:15):
five on this day? Because while I live in the city,
you promise me a free burger. I got to get one, right,
Like what if I couldn't make it between nine and five? Like,
how do you pull something like this off to give
entire to give free burgers to an entire city? Do
you have like a burger drop. Do you have like
somebody but you know, in an airplane just dropping burgers
out going, Hey, free burgers here? It is to George
web burgers. I don't know how you pull this off, Mike.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Like the Joker dropping dimes on the city of Gotham
from a balloon. I don't know. They said one hundred
and seventy thousand burgers were given away back in eighty
seven when it happened. I don't have a count from
twenty eighteen. I didn't see anything adjusted to that. But
let's think about the cost per burger, for the ingredients
and the prep time, right, I don't know, because out
(03:57):
here you make twenty one twenty two bucks an hour
slinging it in and out. Sure, I don't know that
you have that same thing in Milwaukee. So maybe your
your cost well.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That's cost of living. It's a bigger thing yet living,
but just.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Going to the larger scale of it, It's kind of
like the steal a base promotion in the World Series, right,
Taco Bell, do you really just go there most people
for a taco. No, all of a sudden, it's like,
I'll need that meal, that meal. Give me a twelve
pack of tacos and a large diet soda, and I
think the good folks, ah, and a diet soda.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Give me three burgers and a twelve pack of tacos
ein a diet because you know I can't have all
that sugar.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Right, Well, that was the there was a refrigerator Perry
bit for an ad he did for McDonald's in Chicago
all those years ago. Oh, and a diet coke. But
we look at it, you know from this perspective. You
know when they had the World Series stolen base, right,
you didn't do that, And I think they're probably banking
on the same thing here. I don't know what the
(04:54):
cost of a meal is at good old George Webb.
I'm trying to do that on the fly to to
talk about it. But it's good in publicity, right, it's
a lot of free advertising. We're starting the show with
it to celebrate, Yeah, people getting to be getting their
Gluttony on early So because frankly, had you ever heard
of George Webb?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, if you said George Webb, I would say, Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
He was a character actor in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
He was a running back for Tennessee in the late seventies.
Like I know George, I don't know George. Is that
Spud Webb's real name?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Like?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Oh, that could be Spud Webb's real name. Okay, I
like George, I didn't know like George Webb. Okay, I
got a.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
George Webb who was a British actor.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
He are known for the show Keeping Up Appearances, the
Wednesday play in Mogul Okay, No, and he was on
Mister Bean as the head Master.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Less people know that than no George Webbin. But everybody
knows George web and Milwaukee everybody. Everybody getting free burger tonight? Right.
Brandon Woodroff, who started the game tonight, said he felt
extra pressure because he said, quote, who doesn't want a
free burger? I wanted to win those burgers bad Now
he never he never has to pay for a burger
again in the city of Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah. On the their official website, they say in twenty eighteen. Uh,
they gave away ninety thousand free burgers and a hundred
thousand vouchers.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Okay, all right, so okay, then all right, that's okay,
all right, So that's.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
The mascot, all right. I could get behind this mascot though,
giant burger head on the guy, okay as much.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Now this gets me to my burger story with which
with this happened right before I got to work, and
I'm pretty sure I did the right thing. But I
want to tell you what happened, and and you tell
me if I did the right thing, because it was
really weird. So I go to McDonald's, right, I go
to McDonald's and I eat in the I eat in
the in the in the restaurant because I you know,
(06:47):
I take the bread off, right, I just have the
burger and stuff, and I don't have the bread, so
it's it's kind of mess. I'm like, oh, you know,
I'm gonna eat in the restaurant. So I eat the
restaurant and I sit down and across from me, there's
a couple that that's having this argument right this this
this man and this woman, probably in their early to
mid thirties. I would say they're having this argument and
they're going back and forth with each other, and I'm going, wow,
this is kind of weird, and I kind of want
(07:08):
to eat my food and leave because they're arguing and uh,
you know, it's it's just relationship stuff, back and forth.
I'm going, okay, and then I.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Get up to leave.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Record yeah, yeah, I say, look at this, this is
what happened to McDonald's.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So I'm getting up to leave, and I throw my
food away, and there's not a lot of people in McDonald's, right,
there's not. It's kind of a weird time, right, like
like six thirty at night, like you know, the dinner
rush is already done, okay, so there's maybe like one
or two other people and it's a big eat in area, right,
So like I'm the only one that sees and and
kind of see what's going on here. So everything seems okay.
(07:39):
They're you know, they're arguing about stuff, and I'm just
I'm going, all right, I want to get up and
go now because this is a little weird and it's
not out of control. It's not any it's not it's
not anything crazy. And then I get to throw my
stuff away and I hear a slam, and I hear
the UH and and I think it was the guy
who slammed his trade down.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
UH.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
He was like and like in the mid their arguments
to what and that's what it sounded like. And I'm like, okay,
that's a little weird now. So I'm like, what do
I do? So I go, okay, I can't just leave, right,
I mean these people that are I mean, like, I
don't want to jump in, but I want people to
know that, hey, this this is something that could be
going on. But I don't want to walk up and
say it right to the right, to the people in
(08:19):
front of the UH in the front of the store,
because it would seem pretty weird. And also, now that
McDonald's has this UH you know you order at the kiosk,
they don't have employees and people in front of the
cash registers a lot anymore. So there's nobody there and
there's like one person waiting in line. I'm like, what
do I do? I gotta do something. I go okay,
So I think this is a good idea. So I
leave and I walk all the way around to the
(08:40):
to the driving window and I'm like, you know that
that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna tell the person
to drive in through window. What's going on. So I'm
walking around the window, and I'm walking around to the
side of the McDonald's and I got two drinks in each.
I got a drink in each, had I got my
my die coke and I have I have my amocha.
So I'm walking towards there and this guy is is
pulling up to to the window. So I'm like, okay,
(09:02):
and I go and I go, hey, sorry, I just
want to get him emotion, like I want to talk
to me. He goes, yeah, sure, and I'm sure he's thinking
I got the wrong order. I'm coming back, because yeah, yeah,
no problem, no problem. So I get up, I get
up close to the window and I wait, and I
you know, people are inside, and I get my head
real close and I say excuse me. And right when
I say excuse me, the woman working the drive through window,
(09:23):
you know, puts her head out to talk to the
guy coming up. And I go excuse me, and she's
right there and she goes and she screamed, and I go,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I go, I'm sorry.
Everything's fine. I was just eating in there in the restaurant,
and I could tell she's looking at me, and she's
like panting, and I'm going, oh, this is I got
I got to take the temperature down. I go, sorry,
I just everything's fine. I go. I just was eating
(09:45):
in here and there's a couple in the back that
we're arguing about something, and it seemed like everything is okay.
But I think the guy slammed his his tray on
the table a little bit. I just wanted to kind
of make you wear that. She was, yeah, okay, okay, okay,
thank you, yes, okay, thank you. I said, okay, I'm
just gonna leave. I said, I just want I didn't
want to walk to the front because there was kind
of nobody there. It's like, yeah, nope, no, thank you,
(10:06):
thank you. And this is a young this is I mean,
she's got to be in her early twenties. Like she's
like she's so flipped out. I'm like, I can't believe
I'm the only person to come up to the back
to the window. Like they tell people to pull up
all the time, say okay, just pull up right here,
we'll bring out your fruit to you. In a second
because it's not ready. And so I said, okay, great,
and I backway. I look at the guy, I go,
thank you' so yeah, no problem, no problem, is everything okay?
Go yeah, yeah, everything's fine. So I walk away and
(10:27):
I'm going, huh, I thought I did the right thing.
I said there, And then I told this story to
Monsey and Brianna before I come on the air, and
Moncie goes, oh, you didn't do that, and I go,
what what what? What's Oh? You scared the hell out
of her. I said, yeah, but I had to say
something because I didn't want to leave and not make
people aware that, hey, you know, hey, there could be
a situation coming up here. So I'm like, I feel
like I did the right thing, even though I kind of,
(10:48):
you know, I kind of wound my way around to
do it, But I still feel like I did the
right thing.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, if you'd gotten in your car, drive around, whatever, cool.
The walk up has got to be very disconcerting, But
in the end, you were trying to do the right thing,
and sometimes we make missteps while we're trying to do
the right thing.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, you think I miss stepped, No, you just said
everybody tried to do the right thing. Sometimes we misstep
making it. I mean I missed that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
No, no, I'm saying from her perspective or others who judged you.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Okay, ladies, that that do you You were trying to
do the right thing because you were worried that this
was going to escalate and suddenly that tray wasn't just
hitting that table, that maybe there was a little more
anger to come through it.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
So, yeah, you tried to be a good guy. Now
you could have gone the next level and perhaps put
yourself in harm's way to where you know, you stood tall,
you know, you pulled up your bootstraps and said is
everything okay here? But no, you didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Well, that's the thing, is like this is it wasn't
something that escalated. It was it was a disagreement. And
but hearing the trace on my okay now now I
kind of felt like I have to say something there.
I don't want to look up and go, hey, listen,
you two should not be together, all right, Just yeah,
you guys need to walk away.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
You need to go.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Hey, you go to the blue corner, you go to
the red corner, and then instead of coming back out,
just leave. Just leave the ring and go like you
two should not be together like this.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It could have gone. Is not so much?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Should happen?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Phil voice put on a fake mustache and stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I'm hearing a lot of we gonna, but I'm not here.
We did. I don't know what say here. I think
there's a situation going on here. I don't understand. I
don't understand what's going on.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I don't know. I will say this and doing a
little more investigation of the George Web chain, I think
their menu is longer than the cheesecake factory.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Wow, it's that Wow, it's that see. I figured it's
kind of like the menu like my cousin Vinnie. I
think we'll have the breakfast where this is breakfast.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Or lunch like real burgers and all sorts of breakfast items.
The drink menu, it's a long scroll. You got chili,
chili to go, quarts of chili to go, soup, wow,
all kinds of omelets and breakfasts and whatever else. But
I scroll all the way down past the cheesecakes and
everything else. You can get seven burgers. And this is
where it comes back to the promotion. You know how
(13:08):
much seven cheeseburgers in a bag cost you.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh well, seven white Castle burgers will run me about
a little bit less than twenty bucks.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So twenty dollars and thirteen cents.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Really these are regularly is this white Castle burgers?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Are they not? They're just it says seven cheeseburgers. Okay,
see a differential between as a burger. So I must
you know? That's just implied. And if I knew, you know,
the chain, perhaps that's that would get me there. But
this is where I was getting into the I don't
think one burger's getting it done kind of thing in
this promotion. While it's a good faith effort and a
(13:46):
good gesture, again, like potato chips, you can't eat just yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Mean, if you're giving away mini burger, it's it's it's
a mini burger, Like if you're giving away a mini
burger to people like, oh okay, it's a mini burger.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
But I don't see anything on here that distinguishes between them, right, Okay,
how big the paddy is?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Oh okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Like it doesn't say, hey, eight ounce up here pre
cooking weight versus four ounce down here? I got nothing?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Is it time for a new job that. It's time
for Express employment professionals. Quit the endless online job search
and list the pros and Express never charges job seekers
a fee. Go to expresspros dot com. That's expresspros dot com. Well, well,
I'm watching the Mets blow a six nothing leading the
fourth inning. Coming up next, we have another big quarterback
story out of the NFL. Another injury update. You're not
(14:33):
gonna believe it, but it's happening. That's next. Right here. Now,
thing's broke. Now, thing's broke. That's next, Jason and Mike

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Hi. This is Jay.
Speaker 7 (14:54):
I'm the producer of the Paul Antoni Fusco Show. Usually
in these promos they asked you to.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Listen to the show.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I'm here to add shoot, please don't listen to the show.
The hosts are two absolute morons who have the dumbest
takes on sports imaginable. Don't listen to the show so
it can get camps.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
What the hell are you doing out studio?
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Hit him?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Ignore that fool.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Listen to the Pauline twenty footsco.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Show on the iHeart Radio app or wherever you get
your podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
He's still moving.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I hate base ball. I hate baseball. I hate baseball and.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
The seasons over.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I hate baseball. I've never liked baseball. I've never liked it.
I know we talk a lot. We talk more baseball
than anybody else on the network. I think more baseball
anybody else than any network except MLB Network.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Even then, I think it's debatable.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I realize I hate baseball. I realized I hate.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
We're up six nothing. You were dancing studio. Yeah, you
were eating birds and hanging out and checking out, you know,
the adult happy mealings Donalds and think about burgers and
all of that stuff. All was right with the world.
We started the show. You're all excited, happy, yeah, and
now you're not. Now you hate baseball.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
The Mets got three in the first and three in
the second, Wan Soto with a home run. It's a
six nothing lead over the Braves. Like okay, and David
Peterson on the mound, our best starter all start. Everything
is fine. Nine runs later, in the top of the
fourth inning, one the Braves lead the Mets nine to
seon because the Mets suck. Yes, we absolutely do.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Nine.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Harris hits a grand slam after David Peterson gives up
run after runn he walked in a run. Reid Garrett
comes in first battery faces Michael Harris with a grand
slam to dead center field, and now the Braves lead
the Mets nine in a season that's going nowhere for
the Braves, and they stink they're gonna say, hey, we're
putting that fork in the Mets season. Just when I thought, hey,
(16:54):
all right, hey we gotten past the bad times. Alonzo
breaks the Strawberry's home run record. Hey, everything is great. No, no,
this is what happens. Now. They allow nine runs on
the top of the fourth inning. Nine runs, nine run
And for all of the for all of the talk
of hey, it's still it's the dog days of August,
it happens. Teams go through times like this. No, teams
don't go Teams that are good don't go through times
(17:16):
like this repeatedly, with multiple seven to eight game losing
streaks and six nothing leads that they blow And it's
not now it is the fourth inning. And okay, who knows,
but my goodness, man, I mean, my goodness. You know
where I'm at right now.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I'm at okay.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I gotta remember the important things. And the important thing
is Justin Fields look great against the Packers. The offense
look great, the defense look great. The Jets look great
preseason week one, and that's what's most important.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I gotta say. The desperation level of snap to snap
trials of Justin Fields is kind of laughable at this point,
because I wake up and I'm looking at and Samini
and all these guys, and he's now two for two,
now he's three for three. It's like, what are we doing?
Come on now? But I guess if it can distract
you from what the implosion of the Mets has been,
(18:04):
I guess to some degree. I mean, I'm still you're
still in a wild card slot for today.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
But I feel like I gotta pack my Metskier away.
Like I haven't been able to wear it in like
three weeks. I'm used to wearing Mets gear like three
four times a week. I'm like, I can't wear it. Man,
people are gonna laugh at me.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
You gotta show some intestine.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I can't do that.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I just feel like you can't only sing what you're winning.
I just feel everybody race it for what it is.
But you know what they might be staring at you anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
That's a that's that's a that's a judge fan man
like like if I'm well like like like I stare
at people that that decide, Hey, I'm okay leaving the
house with a horizontal pattern shirt and vertical stripes of pants.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Like you come on, I don't judge.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You can't. You can't leave the house like that. You can't.
You can't understand when you're wearing. You can't wear every
pattern in your closet.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Like, that's where what you wear, whatever makes you feel good.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
That's how you think. Are you?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Are you policing people over at the beach?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Now?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
You know? No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I don't think that's how I feel like people are
looking at me, Like I I like how I look
at people. Wow, that's every pattern in your closet. Okay,
I don't know about that, but yeah, okay, Mike, have
you Jason, you really think he's going to the beach.
I was at the beach today, smart guy. I was
at the McDonald's at the beach, brought well. I went
to the beach and then the McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
He found the hot dog, got a stick guy by
the beach.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Just so you know, mister smarty pants. When the guy
walked by with the ice cream, I didn't buy any
I'm like, just so you know, mister smarty pants. The
Mets were up six nothing. Yeah, I know. You think
we just talked about that. We just talked about how
awful this is.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
So someone just joined the show. It's new to them.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
One so strikes out. This is just this is the
most important. But again, the Jets defense looked fantastic against
the Giants and the joint practices. They had a little
bit of a scuffle today, and the offense looked good
at times, but the defense was really dominant. I gotta understand, Okay,
this is what the important thing is. Like, this is
what's most important. I gotta get I always ask every
(20:04):
year the Mets to get me to the Jets, and
now I ask the Jets to get me to the Knicks. Right,
I'm not a greedy guy, right, Mets get me to
the Jets. Okay, all right, hey, the Mets if they're
if they're fading, now, they got me to the Jets.
The preseason has started, the Jets are looking good. I'm
feeling great about Aaron Glenn. Right now, I realize it's
not gonna go very long for the Jets because it's
the year one of Aaron Glenary building. And while I
love the guy and this time next year, it's gonna
(20:25):
be a different tune and the Jets are gonna be
way on the way up. I get that. Now. I'm
just asking the Jets just get me to the end
of October, get me to the Knicks, right because the
Knicks this is it, Like, this is like okay, I'm
buckled in, like this is this is a championship or
bus season for the Knicks. So I just ask Mets,
the Jets, Jets to the Knicks. That's all I ask.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
You know what was playing in my head the entire
time you were talking. You described the Elton john classic
circle of life. That's all it was. God, Mets to
the Jets, Jets to the Knicks. I'm holding every year
we've been doing this because they suck. So it's the
same psych sure that does not get broken.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I'm holding up what the ver like like a baby
polar bear in Alonzo Jersey like raffiti is holding up
Simba as it doing Circle of Life and I'm holding
you up. Oh look it's a little baby polar bear
in Alonzo Jersey. Jason's all enough like Rafiki.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Now I've got many Alonzo. I just can't wait to be.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
King Alonzo Alonzo like Raffiki's going Simba Sibbity's drawing. I'm
drawing Alonzo and the Alonzo Alonzo, Alonzo Alonzo. That's me
right now. Man, I'm telling you it'said. I gotta understand.
This is what the most important thing is.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Does that make the This is a rave scar in
this scenario if want to go down.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Scar could be anybody. But no, you know, no, the
Brays are terrible this year. They're just one of the hyaenas,
man like scars like the Phillies or yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
But angels are good, not a dear five good scar
is the Phillies.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
They are good when they play the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Buddy, how many hyaenas were there? Three?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Two?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Or three? Okay? So the so you got the Bras
will be one of the hyenas. The Brewers will be
one of the others because you know they revengeful last year.
So that that's kind of where it is that Mets
world right now. I need thats are fat and happy.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Because they got burgers. They can't be one of the Hyaenas.
It's got to be somebody else that's still get hungry
and coming up.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
How good is that? No Mets playoff prediction I made
months ago? Yeah, right now it's looking pretty good. It's
looking pretty good. We've lost like nine games in the
standings in the last three. It's looking pretty good right now.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
That's how the thing is.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
What you don't know is Frostburg is we we are
playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers. We are
tanking for arch Manning, just so you know that that's
what's gonna happen. So there we are now to watch Petal.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Is this for his running acumen or is he going
to prove that he can you know, pitch for you?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No, because Breese Hall will go off in week sixteen
and you will miss out on Arch like we missed
out on Trevor Lawrence because oh, let's have Frank gor
win this game. No, that's I realize. I'm at the
most important part right now. The Mets to the Jets,
the Jets to the next the Mets have got me
to the Jets. I like the Mets to keep going,
but they've handed the baton off. All right, that's that's fine,
Aaron Glenn. You take that baton and you get me
(23:02):
to the end of October. Okay, get me out of October.
We're good.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
It's all I need, so so much wishing and hoping. Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Meanwhile, you'd think this was this is like we're making
stuff up, but this is an everyday thing, kind of
like how Jerry Jones admitted the other day that he
likes the drama and he likes relevance and attention. He
says things just to keep you know, Cowboys Nation going
and to stay in the news. I really feel like
the Cleveland Browns are doing this with their quarterbacks. Like
every day there's some kind of news and I go,
(23:29):
at some point there's not gonna be news. But after
today I have to readjust my big bold prediction from
last week, because we found out that Shador Sanders oblique
injury left practice today and likely is not gonna play
in the second preseason game on Saturday. If he was healthy,
(23:50):
he was slated to start as long as Gabriel and
Kenny Pickett worst a lot, and it looked like they
weren't trending towards playing so but still all four quarterbacks
were getting reps at practice to say so, Shador Sanders
is out, Nina, No, let's give those reps to Tyler Hutley.
Let's get all four of those guys. And so I
need to do something. And I can't believe I'm changing
a bold prediction after so quickly, but I need to
(24:10):
because now when you throw in the fact that there's
going to be injury and ineffectiveness over the course of
the season, right, quarterbacks get hurt. Quarterbacks are ineffective when
you are a bottom feeder like the Browns you're waiting
for next year. No longer do I think the Browns
will start all four quarterbacks on their roster. I no
longer think that's gonna happen. I said it last week.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Are you up it?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I'm getting I'm getting rid of it because I no
longer think that all four guys that we've seen from
the beginning of training camp are going to play. I
now think all five quarterbacks are going to play. Five
five guys at least. Hey, speaking of a Burger sponsorship,
there the five guys. They are all eating burgers. Who
starts this week? I don't know whoever finishes their burger first?
(24:56):
All five guys, they will somehow keep them all around
all year long. And they will all because now Tyler
Huntley is their former pro bowler. For some reason, who's
getting snap who's still getting snaps even though it's it's
we get three other guys? No, no, no, give Tyler
Huntley the snaps, because you never know, all five quarterbacks
will start a game for the Browns this year, and
(25:18):
best yet, I can give you the order I can get.
I can now I feel very confident giving you the
order on how we're gonna see these guys. You ready,
i'd follow up here.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Let me let me get out my big board.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I mean, it's awesome, and you would think that the
Browns would really just sort of borrow and understand that. Look,
everybody else that covers the NFL and talks about it
sees that Shooter Sanders is pretty good, and everybody's talking
about him and the odds and him in this overwhelming interest.
Now it's still gonna be fourth string on the depth chart.
Nice job, Kevin Stefanski. I will say this, this is
the order it goes. Now, if I could bet this
in Vegas, I will feel really excited. In fact, we'll
(25:50):
talk to Todd Furman about that tomorrow night. But here's
your order. Flacco starts the season right. Flacco starts the season.
But Flaco's older. How effective is he really gonna be
after the first month or so? And he needs a
little bit time to get healthy because I thought he
would wind up starting, but he's clearly he needs more reps.
He's not cleared yet, but he's back at practice. Then
(26:10):
they'll go to Kenny Pickett because at least they spent
a little bit of assets to try to get Kenny
Pickett in this year, which tells you of all the
quarterbacks they are locked in and feel like they've invested them.
Even though it's not a lot, they still went out
to get Kenny Pickett, right. They thought he's gonna be
our bridge guy this year. They brought him in knowing
full well that he may start half the games or
until our next quarterback is ready. So Flacco will start.
(26:33):
It's not gonna be the same injury in effectiveness, and
they go to Kenny Pickett midway through the season, when
it's one in seven, one in eight, it's gonna be
what are we doing? We have to get a look
at at Shadoor Sanders and Dylan Gabriel going into next
year because you got to know, are you drafting a
quarterback really high or do you have that guy in
the roster right? So all of a sudden, now boom
(26:54):
midway through the season one and seven, one and eight,
and it's gonna be Shador Sanders because the desire to
seem be so incredibly great, maybe sooner, but depending on
you know. But again, because guys get banged up, you
don't know how things are gonna flow. But they will
have to go to Shador Sanders. They will have to
play him because the desires scene will be too great,
and to play Dylan Gabriel ahead of him, that's not
gonna help anybody because you know you're gonna see him
(27:15):
so okay, So then they'll go to Shador Sanders middle
of the season. He'll play a few games, and then
again things could happen injury and effectiveness, but you know,
they really want to see Dylan Gabriel too, so they'll
find a way to get him in. I'm thinking post
Thanksgiving ish early December, mid December, he gets in and
you think, Okay, Dylan Gabriel's is just gonna finish the season, right,
(27:36):
gonna finish the season. E'snna be the guy, but he'll
play two three games and at the end, something weird
is gonna happen, something kind of crazy, and that week seventeen,
Tyler Huntley's gonna get the start. Five guys, we'll start
a quarterback for the Browns this year, all five guys,
all five.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, the potential for chaos is there, certainly. Kenny Pickett,
I think is an interesting component of all of this
because we know there are gonna be other quarterback situations
where we're watching injuries and week to week statuses that
maybe he becomes a guy that gets spun off in
this process. Still young, still learning, Super Bowl champion, by
(28:15):
the way, not that he shown with great regularity as
a regular starter back in Pittsburgh, but moving this thing along, Yeah,
you want to see what the rookies are all about.
You know, we've talked about it a bunch. You're you're
more bullish off of the one week of Shador Sanders.
I mean it was fun to watch, What did it
really show us I don't know, because it wasn't a
(28:37):
bunch of first stringers running running amok on him for
a full half. With every defensive twist and change, you're
going to bring in most of the guys he's thrown to.
Are they guys that are gonna be there all of
those kind of things, But those are the guys he
was working with as the three and four. But it
makes for fun fodder because now you have to go
(28:58):
back in the annals of NF history and start going
through all the teams that started for or more quarterbacks
throughout the years and and see what kind of havoc
and what kind of names start appearing on those lists.
I mean, you mentioned Snoop Huntley Pro Bowl or how
deep was he in the Pro Bowl list before he
made it?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
It was it was far down. It was far down.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
You know, not a bunch of guys opt out, a
bunch of guys say out of hell with this. I
already got my bonus money. It's still gonna that check's
still gonna clear all of those things, so they can
never take it away from him. But it's a nice
break glass in case of emergency kind of guy. And
in the end, you know, as we talked about with
Shadur specifically, and I think for the young quarterbacks out there,
(29:40):
at some point you got to figure out what you have,
especially if you're expected to be terrible. You know where
you've got an over under a four and a half
five wins that you're not going to be too deep
into the season before. You're already looking around going all right,
let's just evaluate for next year. Shall we try to
play spoiler like Braves whatever. We can't see what I
(30:01):
did there? Yeah, thanks, turned around and gave you a
right turn, clide, But it's it's the Browns man. We're
getting a lot of ankle a lot of minutes on
the Browns, so that's good. Shador Sanders is mighty intriguing,
There's no question about it. And it certainly moves the
needle because you've got the people that are vehemently gonna
(30:21):
defend everything, every throw, every decision he makes on and
off the field, and then you've got those with the
poison pens ready to go. Meanwhile, Joe Flacco is just
sitting there with pretty hair wrapped in bubble wrap, waiting
for the regular season.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I'm telling you five five quarter they will start five
guys this year fun, I'll take the over five time
now to find out what's trending in the wide world
of sports. And someone who's going to not tell you
what's going on with the Mets game because it's not
really that important. The only highlight we need it's Monty Blagos.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
I was like, how's he gonna set me up? How's
he gonna set me up? Hi, guys, Happy Wednesday evening.
We will start in BA, but we'll start.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
With the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Why not taking on the Angels in Anaheim. Started things
off with the Mookie Bets RBI single and a Will
Smith to run shot. Angels have a score, but the
Dodgers holding on three to two. It's the top of
the fourth inning. The Padres today won their fifth straight
in a row, defeating the Giants eleven to one.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
So right now.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
San Diego has a half game lead on the Dodgers
in the NL West. Depending on how this game ends,
could go back to a tie by the end of
the evening.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
We'll go to the Yankees.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
The Yankees did have a tie game against the Twins.
Cody Bellinger with the home run started things off, but
the Twins have taken the lead for to one is
the score in the Bronx. Top of the sixth, bottom
of the sixth inning, about to start. The Mariners managed
to tie the game against the Orioles in Baltimore. It's
three to three. Bottom of the ninth inning. Mariners have
won eight in a row New York though, Mets and Braves. Sorry,
(31:50):
but the Braves did hit a grand slam. Michael Harris
Brounz four nine to six.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Top of the fifth ETI got thrown out at home
plate trying to score from second on a base it
so it's still nine.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
So it's still nine to six. And you can catch
all the action on FS one. Yeah, yeah, you can.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
You can.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Astro stof the Red Sox four to one. Cubs beat
the Blue Jays four to one. Marlins outscored the Guardians
thirteen to four. Jacob Marcy for Miami had seven RBI.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
In the win.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
The Red shoot out the Phillies eight zero. And as
you started the show, Jason Brewer's hottest team in baseball
twelve in a row defeating.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
The Pirates earlier today twelve to five.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
NFL News, You guys were just talking about Shador Sanders
day to day without oblique injury not likely that he's
going to play in their second preseason game on Sunday
against the Eagles. You can expect Caleb Williams and the
Bear starters to play in their second preseason game against
the Bills, as coach Ben Johnson announced that Bill's running
back James Cook agreed to a four year, forty eight
million dollar extension today with thirty million guaranteed, and he
(32:51):
returned to practice as well.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Well.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
When you win twelve games in a row and you

entire city, you get to be the play of the day.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
Meyer's out of the stretch the pitch.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
Kind of swinging a mess. He struck them out.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Would you like fries with that?
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Twelve in a row for the crew?
Speaker 4 (34:24):
Twelve to five your final the Brewers with their second
longest winning streak in the regular season in franchise history.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Brewers TV on the call. Yes, free burgers for the
entire city of the I don't know if you get
outside of Milwaukee still get a free burger. If you
live in Kenosha, do you get a free burger? I
don't know, but thanks to local burger chain George Webb,
everybody is getting free burgers because they won. Are they
Have you ever had that?
Speaker 4 (34:52):
I do?
Speaker 1 (34:52):
I wonder if they're like are they like White Castle
Burgers where they're small brought up? I don't know.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Ye by the sack of twenty bucks? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Yeah, I love easy. Frostburg is not safe harbor yet.
Come on talking about burgers. Where's your head like a
head out of together sliders? Yes, because one thing Frostburg
doesn't like double entendres. No, that's no.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I mean, look, just because your mind was filthy and
needs to be washed out with soap or something stronger.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Listen, I just just you know. I watched the Mets
blow a six nothing lead. They're losing nine to six.
Now they're allowed to Wednesday in the fourth inning. Okay,
I'm dealing with a lot of stuff right now, Get
off my back.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
It's another day in Paradise. As Andrew Vaughan continues his
march towards the MVP.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Baseball stinks. I hate baseball. Baseball's terrible Uh, so let's
get some positivity, right, best that was positive?
Speaker 3 (35:46):
No, No, we're getting free Burg.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Well, Freeway went from free Berger's and you ruined. You
and Frostburg are ruining with the sacks stuff. So we're
moving on. Speaking of sacks today a practice Will McDonald. So,
best story of the day becau The good times are
coming for one NBA franchise that clearly, Hey, this is
a franchise that needs it. The Portland Trailblazers are going
(36:09):
to be sold from Paul Allen's estate because he passed
away in twenty eighteen to Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon,
who bought the team back in twenty eighteen. Now, why
is this such a big deal, Caro, Look, I'll tell
you it's my team. I can tell you the insight
that this is why it's such a great story. Carolina
(36:29):
is a small market team in the NHL. Portland's a
small market team in the NBA, right, sixth smallest market
in the NBA. When Dundon bought the team, the Hurricanes
hadn't made the playoffs in a decade. Right, They won
the Cup back in six is great, but they hadn't
made them. They were on a ten It was like
the Jets with a ten year playoff drought right that
(36:50):
they did not make the playoffs. It was awful. I
felt like, my goodness, I can't believe. How do you
miss the playoffs when everybody makes it? How do you
miss for a decade? How do you do it? He
buys a team in twenty eighteen, and I'll tell you what.
Guy knows what he's doing. Three conference finals in the
last seven years were a yearly Stanley Cup threat in
some books in Vegas, the Carolina Hurricanes are the favorite
(37:14):
to win the Stanley Cup next year. They get the
right players. They have kept a great product on the ice.
He knows what he's doing. And I don't think he
showed up with this great hockey knowledge. I'm gonna come
into it, but he knows how to run a smaller
market professional sports team. And he did it in Carolina
and they're terrific. And now he's gonna do the same
thing in Portland. The good times are coming back for
(37:34):
the Blazers because it's the same time kind of thing. Right,
how do we make it work? How do we wind
up turning this from where they were at and turning
things around? It's almost the same thing that everybody expects
to happen with Mark Walter and the Lakers. Okay, the
way they were doing business wasn't working. Now here comes
Mark Walter, and the way of doing business is gonna change.
But this is much more of a you can look
(37:55):
at the you can look at the blueprint and say, hey,
he came into Carolina, did a lot of different things,
got the right head coach in again, trusting the right
people to make the right decisions, and again Carolina is
a power like they are a power in the Eastern Conference. Yes,
they keep playing the Bleeping Panthers every year and they
can't get past the parents, but at least we beat
them once this year. But he knows, hey, how do
(38:15):
I do this? How do I build? How do I
build hockey in a city where, hey, after the initial
love affair, they hadn't made the playoffs in a decade?
What do we do? And now look where he's got.
It's the same thing that he has on his plate
in Portland. And I have no doubt he's going to succeed.
This is the right guy to come in, It's the
right guy, the right team to buy.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
See. I think some of it relates to back to school.
Right to take it into our film and television analogies
where you're in the business class and he's telling you
about widgets. What are we selling? No, it's widgets, It
doesn't matter. It's a fictional product. It goes. It's ubiquitous,
that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
So let's say we're selling tape recorders. Oh, I'll tell
you what, Okay got exactly?
Speaker 3 (38:59):
You want to go there? Say Harbor?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
So I don't even think save Harbor.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
But the idea of just being that best business practice
is good to great, apply it elsewhere as you roll through.
Remember we were on air when Steve Balmer first bought
the Clippers, and I think I was one of the
few to say two billion dollars was a bargain for
a million reasons. Now, the average NBA franch this is
four billion. Right, they're saying the average is four point
(39:26):
six and that seems ridiculously low. Right. We got the
report of the NFL valuations as well, where nobody's worth
less than five point five billion.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
But I think all that's light. I think the Lakers
got The Lakers could have probably gone for fifteen Like
everything we know about about what the worth of franchises
are goes out the window when the Blazers are bought
for four billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
That's just right. It was all fuzzy math, right when
Balmer bought things a two billion, Yes, distress property at
the time, but in la and how many times do
these type of franchises come up for sale? So yeah,
you impart your best practices, get your best people on it,
eventually hire your best basketball people on it, and suddenly
(40:10):
you have success because again, everybody's operating within the same
financial constraints. So if you've got money to spend, guess
what You're gonna find stars that will come and take
your money.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
I mean really, I mean four billion dollars for the Blazers,
for the player. Suddenly the Clippers are like, dude, how
do you only pay two billion for that? Like that's
a bonus because that everything big money is out the window.
Just think that's how big a day today was. We
got more in this end. Another big story out of
the NFL out of Dallas coming up next right here.

Hello, Welcome in side Happy Wednesday, The Jason Smith Show
with my bas.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Friend Mike Harmon, Well Dressed Hobo.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Tonight's show live for the Fox Sports Radio studios. This
hour brought to you bi ti Iraq. For over forty years,
tire Rack's been open. Customers find the right tires for how,

(01:01):
a it's a big it's a Burger Wednesday here on
the show. Because there's there's a we have a double
barrel of burger stories. Come in your way, and let's
start with the big one in Major League Baseball before
what happened to me about twenty five minutes ago. Okay, yeah,
so first, because you know, one burger leads to another burger, right, so.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Look, you just have one. It's like a potato chip.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
The Brewers have been the best story in Major League Baseball.
They've been the best team in Major League Baseball. You
can argue they are the best team in Major League Baseball.
They've been red hot, they sweep the Mets, they continue
on that momentum, and today they won their twelfth consecutive
game in a row. But this is big because one
time everybody is a Brewers fan. This is how it ended,
(01:48):
and you get a little hint as to why today
was such a big win from Milwaukee.
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Meyer's out of the stretch, the pitch kind of swinging
a mess.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
He struck him out.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Would you like fries with that?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Twelve?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
They're all for the crew, twelve to five your final.
The Brewers with their second longest winning streak in the
regular season in franchise history.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
So there was Brewers TV on the call. Local restaurant
chained George Webb with two b's like Spudweb, except George
web has been promising free burgers for decades depending on
the win streak for Milwaukee Brewers. Now, when they first
were home to the minor League Brewers of the Old
American Association, it was they had to win seventeen games
(02:31):
in a row for the entire city to get free burgers. Well,
they dropped their promotion in a years since, and since
the Milwaukee Brewers they dropped it to twelve. This is
now the third time in the last forty years that
the entire city of Milwaukee has won free Hamburgers or
some kind of burgers from local restaurant chain George Web
(02:52):
Free for the entire city, not like, hey, if you
have tickets to a game, it's hey, it's free tacos,
Like when the Lakers hold a team under one hundred points.
This is the entire city somehow gets free burgers. I
don't I don't know how you pull this off. How
did Like I would walk into a bunch of different
by yeah, hey, I gotta get my burger to get
my burger, to get my burger, and my burger, Like
can you even say it's gonna be between nine and
(03:15):
five on this day? Because while I live in the city,
you promise me a free burger. I got to get one, right,
Like what if I couldn't make it between nine and five? Like,
how do you pull something like this off to give
entire to give free burgers to an entire city? Do
you have like a burger drop. Do you have like
somebody but you know, in an airplane just dropping burgers
out going, Hey, free burgers here? It is to George
web burgers. I don't know how you pull this off, Mike.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Like the Joker dropping dimes on the city of Gotham
from a balloon. I don't know. They said one hundred
and seventy thousand burgers were given away back in eighty
seven when it happened. I don't have a count from
twenty eighteen. I didn't see anything adjusted to that. But
let's think about the cost per burger, for the ingredients
and the prep time, right, I don't know, because out
(03:57):
here you make twenty one twenty two bucks an hour
slinging it in and out. Sure, I don't know that
you have that same thing in Milwaukee. So maybe your
your cost well.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
That's cost of living. It's a bigger thing yet living,
but just.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Going to the larger scale of it, It's kind of
like the steal a base promotion in the World Series, right,
Taco Bell, do you really just go there most people
for a taco. No, all of a sudden, it's like,
I'll need that meal, that meal. Give me a twelve
pack of tacos and a large diet soda, and I
think the good folks, ah, and a diet soda.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Give me three burgers and a twelve pack of tacos
ein a diet because you know I can't have all
that sugar.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Right, Well, that was the there was a refrigerator Perry
bit for an ad he did for McDonald's in Chicago
all those years ago. Oh, and a diet coke. But
we look at it, you know from this perspective. You
know when they had the World Series stolen base, right,
you didn't do that, And I think they're probably banking
on the same thing here. I don't know what the
(04:54):
cost of a meal is at good old George Webb.
I'm trying to do that on the fly to to
talk about it. But it's good in publicity, right, it's
a lot of free advertising. We're starting the show with
it to celebrate, Yeah, people getting to be getting their
Gluttony on early So because frankly, had you ever heard
of George Webb?
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, if you said George Webb, I would say, Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
He was a character actor in the eighties.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
He was a running back for Tennessee in the late seventies.
Like I know George, I don't know George. Is that
Spud Webb's real name?
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Like?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Oh, that could be Spud Webb's real name. Okay, I
like George, I didn't know like George Webb. Okay, I
got a.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
George Webb who was a British actor.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
He are known for the show Keeping Up Appearances, the
Wednesday play in Mogul Okay, No, and he was on
Mister Bean as the head Master.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Less people know that than no George Webbin. But everybody
knows George web and Milwaukee everybody. Everybody getting free burger tonight? Right.
Brandon Woodroff, who started the game tonight, said he felt
extra pressure because he said, quote, who doesn't want a
free burger? I wanted to win those burgers bad Now
he never he never has to pay for a burger
again in the city of Milwaukee.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Yeah. On the their official website, they say in twenty eighteen. Uh,
they gave away ninety thousand free burgers and a hundred
thousand vouchers.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Okay, all right, so okay, then all right, that's okay,
all right, So that's.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
The mascot, all right. I could get behind this mascot though,
giant burger head on the guy, okay as much.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Now this gets me to my burger story with which
with this happened right before I got to work, and
I'm pretty sure I did the right thing. But I
want to tell you what happened, and and you tell
me if I did the right thing, because it was
really weird. So I go to McDonald's, right, I go
to McDonald's and I eat in the I eat in
the in the in the restaurant because I you know,
(06:47):
I take the bread off, right, I just have the
burger and stuff, and I don't have the bread, so
it's it's kind of mess. I'm like, oh, you know,
I'm gonna eat in the restaurant. So I eat the
restaurant and I sit down and across from me, there's
a couple that that's having this argument right this this
this man and this woman, probably in their early to
mid thirties. I would say they're having this argument and
they're going back and forth with each other, and I'm going, wow,
this is kind of weird, and I kind of want
(07:08):
to eat my food and leave because they're arguing and uh,
you know, it's it's just relationship stuff, back and forth.
I'm going, okay, and then I.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Get up to leave.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Record yeah, yeah, I say, look at this, this is
what happened to McDonald's.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
Right.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So I'm getting up to leave, and I throw my
food away, and there's not a lot of people in McDonald's, right,
there's not. It's kind of a weird time, right, like
like six thirty at night, like you know, the dinner
rush is already done, okay, so there's maybe like one
or two other people and it's a big eat in area, right,
So like I'm the only one that sees and and
kind of see what's going on here. So everything seems okay.
(07:39):
They're you know, they're arguing about stuff, and I'm just
I'm going, all right, I want to get up and
go now because this is a little weird and it's
not out of control. It's not any it's not it's
not anything crazy. And then I get to throw my
stuff away and I hear a slam, and I hear
the UH and and I think it was the guy
who slammed his trade down.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
UH.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
He was like and like in the mid their arguments
to what and that's what it sounded like. And I'm like, okay,
that's a little weird now. So I'm like, what do
I do? So I go, okay, I can't just leave, right,
I mean these people that are I mean, like, I
don't want to jump in, but I want people to
know that, hey, this this is something that could be
going on. But I don't want to walk up and
say it right to the right, to the people in
(08:19):
front of the UH in the front of the store,
because it would seem pretty weird. And also, now that
McDonald's has this UH you know you order at the kiosk,
they don't have employees and people in front of the
cash registers a lot anymore. So there's nobody there and
there's like one person waiting in line. I'm like, what
do I do? I gotta do something. I go okay,
So I think this is a good idea. So I
leave and I walk all the way around to the
(08:40):
to the driving window and I'm like, you know that
that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna tell the person
to drive in through window. What's going on. So I'm
walking around the window, and I'm walking around to the
side of the McDonald's and I got two drinks in each.
I got a drink in each, had I got my
my die coke and I have I have my amocha.
So I'm walking towards there and this guy is is
pulling up to to the window. So I'm like, okay,
(09:02):
and I go and I go, hey, sorry, I just
want to get him emotion, like I want to talk
to me. He goes, yeah, sure, and I'm sure he's thinking
I got the wrong order. I'm coming back, because yeah, yeah,
no problem, no problem. So I get up, I get
up close to the window and I wait, and I
you know, people are inside, and I get my head
real close and I say excuse me. And right when
I say excuse me, the woman working the drive through window,
(09:23):
you know, puts her head out to talk to the
guy coming up. And I go excuse me, and she's
right there and she goes and she screamed, and I go,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I go, I'm sorry.
Everything's fine. I was just eating in there in the restaurant,
and I could tell she's looking at me, and she's
like panting, and I'm going, oh, this is I got
I got to take the temperature down. I go, sorry,
I just everything's fine. I go. I just was eating
(09:45):
in here and there's a couple in the back that
we're arguing about something, and it seemed like everything is okay.
But I think the guy slammed his his tray on
the table a little bit. I just wanted to kind
of make you wear that. She was, yeah, okay, okay, okay,
thank you, yes, okay, thank you. I said, okay, I'm
just gonna leave. I said, I just want I didn't
want to walk to the front because there was kind
of nobody there. It's like, yeah, nope, no, thank you,
(10:06):
thank you. And this is a young this is I mean,
she's got to be in her early twenties. Like she's
like she's so flipped out. I'm like, I can't believe
I'm the only person to come up to the back
to the window. Like they tell people to pull up
all the time, say okay, just pull up right here,
we'll bring out your fruit to you. In a second
because it's not ready. And so I said, okay, great,
and I backway. I look at the guy, I go,
thank you' so yeah, no problem, no problem, is everything okay?
Go yeah, yeah, everything's fine. So I walk away and
(10:27):
I'm going, huh, I thought I did the right thing.
I said there, And then I told this story to
Monsey and Brianna before I come on the air, and
Moncie goes, oh, you didn't do that, and I go,
what what what? What's Oh? You scared the hell out
of her. I said, yeah, but I had to say
something because I didn't want to leave and not make
people aware that, hey, you know, hey, there could be
a situation coming up here. So I'm like, I feel
like I did the right thing, even though I kind of,
(10:48):
you know, I kind of wound my way around to
do it, But I still feel like I did the
right thing.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yeah, if you'd gotten in your car, drive around, whatever, cool.
The walk up has got to be very disconcerting, But
in the end, you were trying to do the right thing,
and sometimes we make missteps while we're trying to do
the right thing.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Well, you think I miss stepped, No, you just said
everybody tried to do the right thing. Sometimes we misstep
making it. I mean I missed that.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
No, no, I'm saying from her perspective or others who judged you.
Speaker 6 (11:20):
Okay, ladies, that that do you You were trying to
do the right thing because you were worried that this
was going to escalate and suddenly that tray wasn't just
hitting that table, that maybe there was a little more
anger to come through it.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
So, yeah, you tried to be a good guy. Now
you could have gone the next level and perhaps put
yourself in harm's way to where you know, you stood tall,
you know, you pulled up your bootstraps and said is
everything okay here? But no, you didn't do that.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Well, that's the thing, is like this is it wasn't
something that escalated. It was it was a disagreement. And
but hearing the trace on my okay now now I
kind of felt like I have to say something there.
I don't want to look up and go, hey, listen,
you two should not be together, all right, Just yeah,
you guys need to walk away.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
You need to go.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Hey, you go to the blue corner, you go to
the red corner, and then instead of coming back out,
just leave. Just leave the ring and go like you
two should not be together like this.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
It could have gone. Is not so much?
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Should happen?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Phil voice put on a fake mustache and stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
I'm hearing a lot of we gonna, but I'm not here.
We did. I don't know what say here. I think
there's a situation going on here. I don't understand. I
don't understand what's going on.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I don't know. I will say this and doing a
little more investigation of the George Web chain, I think
their menu is longer than the cheesecake factory.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Wow, it's that Wow, it's that see. I figured it's
kind of like the menu like my cousin Vinnie. I
think we'll have the breakfast where this is breakfast.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Or lunch like real burgers and all sorts of breakfast items.
The drink menu, it's a long scroll. You got chili,
chili to go, quarts of chili to go, soup, wow,
all kinds of omelets and breakfasts and whatever else. But
I scroll all the way down past the cheesecakes and
everything else. You can get seven burgers. And this is
where it comes back to the promotion. You know how
(13:08):
much seven cheeseburgers in a bag cost you.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Oh well, seven white Castle burgers will run me about
a little bit less than twenty bucks.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
So twenty dollars and thirteen cents.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Really these are regularly is this white Castle burgers?
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Are they not? They're just it says seven cheeseburgers. Okay,
see a differential between as a burger. So I must
you know? That's just implied. And if I knew, you know,
the chain, perhaps that's that would get me there. But
this is where I was getting into the I don't
think one burger's getting it done kind of thing in
this promotion. While it's a good faith effort and a
(13:46):
good gesture, again, like potato chips, you can't eat just yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Mean, if you're giving away mini burger, it's it's it's
a mini burger, Like if you're giving away a mini
burger to people like, oh okay, it's a mini burger.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
But I don't see anything on here that distinguishes between them, right, Okay,
how big the paddy is?
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Oh okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Like it doesn't say, hey, eight ounce up here pre
cooking weight versus four ounce down here? I got nothing?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Is it time for a new job that. It's time
for Express employment professionals. Quit the endless online job search
and list the pros and Express never charges job seekers
a fee. Go to expresspros dot com. That's expresspros dot com. Well, well,
I'm watching the Mets blow a six nothing leading the
fourth inning. Coming up next, we have another big quarterback
story out of the NFL. Another injury update. You're not
(14:33):
gonna believe it, but it's happening. That's next. Right here. Now,
thing's broke. Now, thing's broke. That's next, Jason and Mike

Listen to the show.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I'm here to add shoot, please don't listen to the show.
The hosts are two absolute morons who have the dumbest
takes on sports imaginable. Don't listen to the show so
it can get camps.
Speaker 3 (15:08):

Speaker 2 (15:20):
He's still moving.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I hate base ball. I hate baseball. I hate baseball and.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
The seasons over.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I hate baseball. I've never liked baseball. I've never liked it.
I know we talk a lot. We talk more baseball
than anybody else on the network. I think more baseball
anybody else than any network except MLB Network.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
Even then, I think it's debatable.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
I realize I hate baseball. I realized I hate.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
We're up six nothing. You were dancing studio. Yeah, you
were eating birds and hanging out and checking out, you know,
the adult happy mealings Donalds and think about burgers and
all of that stuff. All was right with the world.
We started the show. You're all excited, happy, yeah, and
now you're not. Now you hate baseball.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
The Mets got three in the first and three in
the second, Wan Soto with a home run. It's a
six nothing lead over the Braves. Like okay, and David
Peterson on the mound, our best starter all start. Everything
is fine. Nine runs later, in the top of the
fourth inning, one the Braves lead the Mets nine to
seon because the Mets suck. Yes, we absolutely do.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Nine.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Harris hits a grand slam after David Peterson gives up
run after runn he walked in a run. Reid Garrett
comes in first battery faces Michael Harris with a grand
slam to dead center field, and now the Braves lead
the Mets nine in a season that's going nowhere for
the Braves, and they stink they're gonna say, hey, we're
putting that fork in the Mets season. Just when I thought, hey,
(16:54):
all right, hey we gotten past the bad times. Alonzo
breaks the Strawberry's home run record. Hey, everything is great. No, no,
this is what happens. Now. They allow nine runs on
the top of the fourth inning. Nine runs, nine run
And for all of the for all of the talk
of hey, it's still it's the dog days of August,
it happens. Teams go through times like this. No, teams
don't go Teams that are good don't go through times
(17:16):
like this repeatedly, with multiple seven to eight game losing
streaks and six nothing leads that they blow And it's
not now it is the fourth inning. And okay, who knows,
but my goodness, man, I mean, my goodness. You know
where I'm at right now.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
I'm at okay.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I gotta remember the important things. And the important thing
is Justin Fields look great against the Packers. The offense
look great, the defense look great. The Jets look great
preseason week one, and that's what's most important.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
I gotta say. The desperation level of snap to snap
trials of Justin Fields is kind of laughable at this point,
because I wake up and I'm looking at and Samini
and all these guys, and he's now two for two,
now he's three for three. It's like, what are we doing?
Come on now? But I guess if it can distract
you from what the implosion of the Mets has been,
(18:04):
I guess to some degree. I mean, I'm still you're
still in a wild card slot for today.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
But I feel like I gotta pack my Metskier away.
Like I haven't been able to wear it in like
three weeks. I'm used to wearing Mets gear like three
four times a week. I'm like, I can't wear it. Man,
people are gonna laugh at me.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
You gotta show some intestine.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I can't do that.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
I just feel like you can't only sing what you're winning.
I just feel everybody race it for what it is.
But you know what they might be staring at you anyway.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
That's a that's that's a that's a judge fan man
like like if I'm well like like like I stare
at people that that decide, Hey, I'm okay leaving the
house with a horizontal pattern shirt and vertical stripes of pants.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
Like you come on, I don't judge.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You can't. You can't leave the house like that. You can't.
You can't understand when you're wearing. You can't wear every
pattern in your closet.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Like, that's where what you wear, whatever makes you feel good.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
That's how you think. Are you?
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Are you policing people over at the beach?
Speaker 4 (18:58):
Now?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
You know? No, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I don't think that's how I feel like people are
looking at me, Like I I like how I look
at people. Wow, that's every pattern in your closet. Okay,
I don't know about that, but yeah, okay, Mike, have
you Jason, you really think he's going to the beach.
I was at the beach today, smart guy. I was
at the McDonald's at the beach, brought well. I went
to the beach and then the McDonald's.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
He found the hot dog, got a stick guy by
the beach.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Just so you know, mister smarty pants. When the guy
walked by with the ice cream, I didn't buy any
I'm like, just so you know, mister smarty pants. The
Mets were up six nothing. Yeah, I know. You think
we just talked about that. We just talked about how
awful this is.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
So someone just joined the show. It's new to them.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
One so strikes out. This is just this is the
most important. But again, the Jets defense looked fantastic against
the Giants and the joint practices. They had a little
bit of a scuffle today, and the offense looked good
at times, but the defense was really dominant. I gotta understand, Okay,
this is what the important thing is. Like, this is
what's most important. I gotta get I always ask every
(20:04):
year the Mets to get me to the Jets, and
now I ask the Jets to get me to the Knicks. Right,
I'm not a greedy guy, right, Mets get me to
the Jets. Okay, all right, hey, the Mets if they're
if they're fading, now, they got me to the Jets.
The preseason has started, the Jets are looking good. I'm
feeling great about Aaron Glenn. Right now, I realize it's
not gonna go very long for the Jets because it's
the year one of Aaron Glenary building. And while I
love the guy and this time next year, it's gonna
(20:25):
be a different tune and the Jets are gonna be
way on the way up. I get that. Now. I'm
just asking the Jets just get me to the end
of October, get me to the Knicks, right because the
Knicks this is it, Like, this is like okay, I'm
buckled in, like this is this is a championship or
bus season for the Knicks. So I just ask Mets,
the Jets, Jets to the Knicks. That's all I ask.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
You know what was playing in my head the entire
time you were talking. You described the Elton john classic
circle of life. That's all it was. God, Mets to
the Jets, Jets to the Knicks. I'm holding every year
we've been doing this because they suck. So it's the
same psych sure that does not get broken.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
I'm holding up what the ver like like a baby
polar bear in Alonzo Jersey like raffiti is holding up
Simba as it doing Circle of Life and I'm holding
you up. Oh look it's a little baby polar bear
in Alonzo Jersey. Jason's all enough like Rafiki.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Now I've got many Alonzo. I just can't wait to be.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
King Alonzo Alonzo like Raffiki's going Simba Sibbity's drawing. I'm
drawing Alonzo and the Alonzo Alonzo, Alonzo Alonzo. That's me
right now. Man, I'm telling you it'said. I gotta understand.
This is what the most important thing is.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Does that make the This is a rave scar in
this scenario if want to go down.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Scar could be anybody. But no, you know, no, the
Brays are terrible this year. They're just one of the hyaenas,
man like scars like the Phillies or yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
But angels are good, not a dear five good scar
is the Phillies.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
They are good when they play the Dodgers.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Buddy, how many hyaenas were there? Three?
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Right?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Two?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Or three? Okay? So the so you got the Bras
will be one of the hyenas. The Brewers will be
one of the others because you know they revengeful last year.
So that that's kind of where it is that Mets
world right now. I need thats are fat and happy.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Because they got burgers. They can't be one of the Hyaenas.
It's got to be somebody else that's still get hungry
and coming up.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
How good is that? No Mets playoff prediction I made
months ago? Yeah, right now it's looking pretty good. It's
looking pretty good. We've lost like nine games in the
standings in the last three. It's looking pretty good right now.
Speaker 3 (22:22):
That's how the thing is.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
What you don't know is Frostburg is we we are
playing chess while everybody else is playing checkers. We are
tanking for arch Manning, just so you know that that's
what's gonna happen. So there we are now to watch Petal.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Is this for his running acumen or is he going
to prove that he can you know, pitch for you?
Speaker 1 (22:40):
No, because Breese Hall will go off in week sixteen
and you will miss out on Arch like we missed
out on Trevor Lawrence because oh, let's have Frank gor
win this game. No, that's I realize. I'm at the
most important part right now. The Mets to the Jets,
the Jets to the next the Mets have got me
to the Jets. I like the Mets to keep going,
but they've handed the baton off. All right, that's that's fine,
Aaron Glenn. You take that baton and you get me
(23:02):
to the end of October. Okay, get me out of October.
We're good.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
It's all I need, so so much wishing and hoping. Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
Meanwhile, you'd think this was this is like we're making
stuff up, but this is an everyday thing, kind of
like how Jerry Jones admitted the other day that he
likes the drama and he likes relevance and attention. He
says things just to keep you know, Cowboys Nation going
and to stay in the news. I really feel like
the Cleveland Browns are doing this with their quarterbacks. Like
every day there's some kind of news and I go,
(23:29):
at some point there's not gonna be news. But after
today I have to readjust my big bold prediction from
last week, because we found out that Shador Sanders oblique
injury left practice today and likely is not gonna play
in the second preseason game on Saturday. If he was healthy,
(23:50):
he was slated to start as long as Gabriel and
Kenny Pickett worst a lot, and it looked like they
weren't trending towards playing so but still all four quarterbacks
were getting reps at practice to say so, Shador Sanders
is out, Nina, No, let's give those reps to Tyler Hutley.
Let's get all four of those guys. And so I
need to do something. And I can't believe I'm changing
a bold prediction after so quickly, but I need to
(24:10):
because now when you throw in the fact that there's
going to be injury and ineffectiveness over the course of
the season, right, quarterbacks get hurt. Quarterbacks are ineffective when
you are a bottom feeder like the Browns you're waiting
for next year. No longer do I think the Browns
will start all four quarterbacks on their roster. I no
longer think that's gonna happen. I said it last week.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Are you up it?
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I'm getting I'm getting rid of it because I no
longer think that all four guys that we've seen from
the beginning of training camp are going to play. I
now think all five quarterbacks are going to play. Five
five guys at least. Hey, speaking of a Burger sponsorship,
there the five guys. They are all eating burgers. Who
starts this week? I don't know whoever finishes their burger first?
(24:56):
All five guys, they will somehow keep them all around
all year long. And they will all because now Tyler
Huntley is their former pro bowler. For some reason, who's
getting snap who's still getting snaps even though it's it's
we get three other guys? No, no, no, give Tyler
Huntley the snaps, because you never know, all five quarterbacks
will start a game for the Browns this year, and
(25:18):
best yet, I can give you the order I can get.
I can now I feel very confident giving you the
order on how we're gonna see these guys. You ready,
i'd follow up here.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Let me let me get out my big board.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I mean, it's awesome, and you would think that the
Browns would really just sort of borrow and understand that. Look,
everybody else that covers the NFL and talks about it
sees that Shooter Sanders is pretty good, and everybody's talking
about him and the odds and him in this overwhelming interest.
Now it's still gonna be fourth string on the depth chart.
Nice job, Kevin Stefanski. I will say this, this is
the order it goes. Now, if I could bet this
in Vegas, I will feel really excited. In fact, we'll
(25:50):
talk to Todd Furman about that tomorrow night. But here's
your order. Flacco starts the season right. Flacco starts the season.
But Flaco's older. How effective is he really gonna be
after the first month or so? And he needs a
little bit time to get healthy because I thought he
would wind up starting, but he's clearly he needs more reps.
He's not cleared yet, but he's back at practice. Then
(26:10):
they'll go to Kenny Pickett because at least they spent
a little bit of assets to try to get Kenny
Pickett in this year, which tells you of all the
quarterbacks they are locked in and feel like they've invested them.
Even though it's not a lot, they still went out
to get Kenny Pickett, right. They thought he's gonna be
our bridge guy this year. They brought him in knowing
full well that he may start half the games or
until our next quarterback is ready. So Flacco will start.
(26:33):
It's not gonna be the same injury in effectiveness, and
they go to Kenny Pickett midway through the season, when
it's one in seven, one in eight, it's gonna be
what are we doing? We have to get a look
at at Shadoor Sanders and Dylan Gabriel going into next
year because you got to know, are you drafting a
quarterback really high or do you have that guy in
the roster right? So all of a sudden, now boom
(26:54):
midway through the season one and seven, one and eight,
and it's gonna be Shador Sanders because the desire to
seem be so incredibly great, maybe sooner, but depending on
you know. But again, because guys get banged up, you
don't know how things are gonna flow. But they will
have to go to Shador Sanders. They will have to
play him because the desires scene will be too great,
and to play Dylan Gabriel ahead of him, that's not
gonna help anybody because you know you're gonna see him
(27:15):
so okay, So then they'll go to Shador Sanders middle
of the season. He'll play a few games, and then
again things could happen injury and effectiveness, but you know,
they really want to see Dylan Gabriel too, so they'll
find a way to get him in. I'm thinking post
Thanksgiving ish early December, mid December, he gets in and
you think, Okay, Dylan Gabriel's is just gonna finish the season, right,
(27:36):
gonna finish the season. E'snna be the guy, but he'll
play two three games and at the end, something weird
is gonna happen, something kind of crazy, and that week seventeen,
Tyler Huntley's gonna get the start. Five guys, we'll start
a quarterback for the Browns this year, all five guys,
all five.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, the potential for chaos is there, certainly. Kenny Pickett,
I think is an interesting component of all of this
because we know there are gonna be other quarterback situations
where we're watching injuries and week to week statuses that
maybe he becomes a guy that gets spun off in
this process. Still young, still learning, Super Bowl champion, by
(28:15):
the way, not that he shown with great regularity as
a regular starter back in Pittsburgh, but moving this thing along, Yeah,
you want to see what the rookies are all about.
You know, we've talked about it a bunch. You're you're
more bullish off of the one week of Shador Sanders.
I mean it was fun to watch, What did it
really show us I don't know, because it wasn't a
(28:37):
bunch of first stringers running running amok on him for
a full half. With every defensive twist and change, you're
going to bring in most of the guys he's thrown to.
Are they guys that are gonna be there all of
those kind of things, But those are the guys he
was working with as the three and four. But it
makes for fun fodder because now you have to go
(28:58):
back in the annals of NF history and start going
through all the teams that started for or more quarterbacks
throughout the years and and see what kind of havoc
and what kind of names start appearing on those lists.
I mean, you mentioned Snoop Huntley Pro Bowl or how
deep was he in the Pro Bowl list before he
made it?
Speaker 1 (29:18):
It was it was far down. It was far down.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
You know, not a bunch of guys opt out, a
bunch of guys say out of hell with this. I
already got my bonus money. It's still gonna that check's
still gonna clear all of those things, so they can
never take it away from him. But it's a nice
break glass in case of emergency kind of guy. And
in the end, you know, as we talked about with
Shadur specifically, and I think for the young quarterbacks out there,
(29:40):
at some point you got to figure out what you have,
especially if you're expected to be terrible. You know where
you've got an over under a four and a half
five wins that you're not going to be too deep
into the season before. You're already looking around going all right,
let's just evaluate for next year. Shall we try to
play spoiler like Braves whatever. We can't see what I
(30:01):
did there? Yeah, thanks, turned around and gave you a
right turn, clide, But it's it's the Browns man. We're
getting a lot of ankle a lot of minutes on
the Browns, so that's good. Shador Sanders is mighty intriguing,
There's no question about it. And it certainly moves the
needle because you've got the people that are vehemently gonna
(30:21):
defend everything, every throw, every decision he makes on and
off the field, and then you've got those with the
poison pens ready to go. Meanwhile, Joe Flacco is just
sitting there with pretty hair wrapped in bubble wrap, waiting
for the regular season.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I'm telling you five five quarter they will start five
guys this year fun, I'll take the over five time
now to find out what's trending in the wide world
of sports. And someone who's going to not tell you
what's going on with the Mets game because it's not
really that important. The only highlight we need it's Monty Blagos.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
I was like, how's he gonna set me up? How's
he gonna set me up? Hi, guys, Happy Wednesday evening.
We will start in BA, but we'll start.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
With the Dodgers.
Speaker 5 (31:01):
Why not taking on the Angels in Anaheim. Started things
off with the Mookie Bets RBI single and a Will
Smith to run shot. Angels have a score, but the
Dodgers holding on three to two. It's the top of
the fourth inning. The Padres today won their fifth straight
in a row, defeating the Giants eleven to one.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
So right now.
Speaker 5 (31:19):
San Diego has a half game lead on the Dodgers
in the NL West. Depending on how this game ends,
could go back to a tie by the end of
the evening.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
We'll go to the Yankees.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
The Yankees did have a tie game against the Twins.
Cody Bellinger with the home run started things off, but
the Twins have taken the lead for to one is
the score in the Bronx. Top of the sixth, bottom
of the sixth inning, about to start. The Mariners managed
to tie the game against the Orioles in Baltimore. It's
three to three. Bottom of the ninth inning. Mariners have
won eight in a row New York though, Mets and Braves. Sorry,
(31:50):
but the Braves did hit a grand slam. Michael Harris
Brounz four nine to six.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
Top of the fifth ETI got thrown out at home
plate trying to score from second on a base it
so it's still nine.
Speaker 5 (32:02):
So it's still nine to six. And you can catch
all the action on FS one. Yeah, yeah, you can.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
You can.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Astro stof the Red Sox four to one. Cubs beat
the Blue Jays four to one. Marlins outscored the Guardians
thirteen to four. Jacob Marcy for Miami had seven RBI.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
In the win.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
The Red shoot out the Phillies eight zero. And as
you started the show, Jason Brewer's hottest team in baseball
twelve in a row defeating.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
The Pirates earlier today twelve to five.
Speaker 5 (32:29):
NFL News, You guys were just talking about Shador Sanders
day to day without oblique injury not likely that he's
going to play in their second preseason game on Sunday
against the Eagles. You can expect Caleb Williams and the
Bear starters to play in their second preseason game against
the Bills, as coach Ben Johnson announced that Bill's running
back James Cook agreed to a four year, forty eight
million dollar extension today with thirty million guaranteed, and he
(32:51):
returned to practice as well.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Ye by the sack of twenty bucks? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Yeah, I love easy. Frostburg is not safe harbor yet.
Come on talking about burgers. Where's your head like a
head out of together sliders? Yes, because one thing Frostburg
doesn't like double entendres. No, that's no.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
I mean, look, just because your mind was filthy and
needs to be washed out with soap or something stronger.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Listen, I just just you know. I watched the Mets
blow a six nothing lead. They're losing nine to six.
Now they're allowed to Wednesday in the fourth inning. Okay,
I'm dealing with a lot of stuff right now, Get
off my back.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
It's another day in Paradise. As Andrew Vaughan continues his
march towards the MVP.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Baseball stinks. I hate baseball. Baseball's terrible Uh, so let's
get some positivity, right, best that was positive?
Speaker 3 (35:46):
No, No, we're getting free Burg.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Well, Freeway went from free Berger's and you ruined. You
and Frostburg are ruining with the sacks stuff. So we're
moving on. Speaking of sacks today a practice Will McDonald. So,
best story of the day becau The good times are
coming for one NBA franchise that clearly, Hey, this is
a franchise that needs it. The Portland Trailblazers are going
(36:09):
to be sold from Paul Allen's estate because he passed
away in twenty eighteen to Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon,
who bought the team back in twenty eighteen. Now, why
is this such a big deal, Caro, Look, I'll tell
you it's my team. I can tell you the insight
that this is why it's such a great story. Carolina
(36:29):
is a small market team in the NHL. Portland's a
small market team in the NBA, right, sixth smallest market
in the NBA. When Dundon bought the team, the Hurricanes
hadn't made the playoffs in a decade. Right, They won
the Cup back in six is great, but they hadn't
made them. They were on a ten It was like
the Jets with a ten year playoff drought right that
(36:50):
they did not make the playoffs. It was awful. I
felt like, my goodness, I can't believe. How do you
miss the playoffs when everybody makes it? How do you
miss for a decade? How do you do it? He
buys a team in twenty eighteen, and I'll tell you what.
Guy knows what he's doing. Three conference finals in the
last seven years were a yearly Stanley Cup threat in
some books in Vegas, the Carolina Hurricanes are the favorite
(37:14):
to win the Stanley Cup next year. They get the
right players. They have kept a great product on the ice.
He knows what he's doing. And I don't think he
showed up with this great hockey knowledge. I'm gonna come
into it, but he knows how to run a smaller
market professional sports team. And he did it in Carolina
and they're terrific. And now he's gonna do the same
thing in Portland. The good times are coming back for
(37:34):
the Blazers because it's the same time kind of thing. Right,
how do we make it work? How do we wind
up turning this from where they were at and turning
things around? It's almost the same thing that everybody expects
to happen with Mark Walter and the Lakers. Okay, the
way they were doing business wasn't working. Now here comes
Mark Walter, and the way of doing business is gonna change.
But this is much more of a you can look
(37:55):
at the you can look at the blueprint and say, hey,
he came into Carolina, did a lot of different things,
got the right head coach in again, trusting the right
people to make the right decisions, and again Carolina is
a power like they are a power in the Eastern Conference. Yes,
they keep playing the Bleeping Panthers every year and they
can't get past the parents, but at least we beat
them once this year. But he knows, hey, how do
(38:15):
I do this? How do I build? How do I
build hockey in a city where, hey, after the initial
love affair, they hadn't made the playoffs in a decade?
What do we do? And now look where he's got.
It's the same thing that he has on his plate
in Portland. And I have no doubt he's going to succeed.
This is the right guy to come in, It's the
right guy, the right team to buy.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
See. I think some of it relates to back to school.
Right to take it into our film and television analogies
where you're in the business class and he's telling you
about widgets. What are we selling? No, it's widgets, It
doesn't matter. It's a fictional product. It goes. It's ubiquitous,
that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
So let's say we're selling tape recorders. Oh, I'll tell
you what, Okay got exactly?
Speaker 3 (38:59):
You want to go there? Say Harbor?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
No?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
So I don't even think save Harbor.
Speaker 1 (39:03):
No, no, no.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
But the idea of just being that best business practice
is good to great, apply it elsewhere as you roll through.
Remember we were on air when Steve Balmer first bought
the Clippers, and I think I was one of the
few to say two billion dollars was a bargain for
a million reasons. Now, the average NBA franch this is
four billion. Right, they're saying the average is four point
(39:26):
six and that seems ridiculously low. Right. We got the
report of the NFL valuations as well, where nobody's worth
less than five point five billion.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
But I think all that's light. I think the Lakers
got The Lakers could have probably gone for fifteen Like
everything we know about about what the worth of franchises
are goes out the window when the Blazers are bought
for four billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
That's just right. It was all fuzzy math, right when
Balmer bought things a two billion, Yes, distress property at
the time, but in la and how many times do
these type of franchises come up for sale? So yeah,
you impart your best practices, get your best people on it,
eventually hire your best basketball people on it, and suddenly
(40:10):
you have success because again, everybody's operating within the same
financial constraints. So if you've got money to spend, guess
what You're gonna find stars that will come and take
your money.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
I mean really, I mean four billion dollars for the Blazers,
for the player. Suddenly the Clippers are like, dude, how
do you only pay two billion for that? Like that's
a bonus because that everything big money is out the window.
Just think that's how big a day today was. We
got more in this end. Another big story out of
the NFL out of Dallas coming up next right here.
