(00:49):
the way tire buying should be well tonight, isn't It's
It's always something when we celebrate or commemorate. I don't
know that we're celebrating career when you talk about the
end of an era, and in what we've seen tonight
in the NBA, it is time for the era of

(01:10):
one wanna be contender, a team that we've talked about
so much for the better part of the past decade.
It is time to officially give them their funeral, and
it is time to move on. I'm saying there's no
more hope. This should be the night where we look
back and say this is where the process ends. We

(01:30):
trusted the process for a long time. The process is over.
The process is done. The process happened. We saw what
we saw. The process has not gotten anywhere. Process canick
it out of the second round of the playoffs, maybe
not even the first round of the playoffs. The process
is over. It's over when you lose Tonight and the Sixers.
We get to the duel and b drama in a

(01:51):
second without embiid who they're pondering what's going to happen
next room? Is it going to be knee surgery? You
lose to the Bulls by thirty two in a game
with the Bulls it's led by fifty. I you know what,
This must be the best moment for the Bulls since
Jordan hit the jumper to win a Brian Russell. This's
gotta be the best one jumper over Brian Russell. Tonight.

(02:12):
There you go. There's there's your Bulls memories. You if
you if you're a Bulls fan, you're pissed. Derek Rose. Okay,
Derek Rose, MVP season Jordan hits the jumper over Brian Russell.
Derek Rose, MVP year tonight. That's that's the that's the
ball pushed off. They didn't call anything.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
He's slid and if he's that weak to get moved
by just that little half assed forearm shiver, uh, then
then it's on him. All of that to say for
the Bulls is a disasters a.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Tank mode too. It does any times we're all trying
to get to the bottom. You go out and you
put up this kind of effort. Yeah, but you're not
gonna get all the way to the bottom. I mean
at this point, you know, you know the Wizards are
never gonna win a game. It's all about the helter
skelter there. Get to the bottom. I go back to
the top. That's it. We got to get to the bottom.
And beating the hell out of a hapless Sixers team

(03:07):
is not helping that effort. I was good. Look, this
is this is where I just enjoy the night. I mean,
it's the it's the third best night you've had in
thirty years, Okay, I just enjoy the night. One of
the great Road wins their time.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
I mean you had five guys, what six guys in
double figures, two off the bench, Terry and Kobe White.
Yeah it's right, Kobe White off the bench twenty five
from Josh Giddy.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Yeah, all of this telling you many right, this is
the best. This is the best thing you'll ever seen.
Look again, Jumper over Russell, fast forward to Derek Rose.
What about the EVAs forward? I mean the elo is
really where it starts, right, No thing, but if I'm
going back in erarors, like I'm only going back from
thirty years, I go back to ninety six, so that's

(03:53):
kind of I go back to that. That's the last one.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
I mean, there hasn't been a lot since ninety eight. No,
so as soon as that final come back to.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
That, Yeah, it's you know, I gotta go. Had those
three years with Rodney and all its great and stuff.
It's been a long time. Yeah, no, no, it's been
a while. Thirty years. In three highlights, I mean to
show you where we're at.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
I mean they're really pumping up a whole new release
from Upper Deck of Hey, remember all these classic moments
of Jordan Man just sign picture of remembering where you
were in the mid nineties.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
I'll tell you now, look, we'll we'll, we'll, we'll get
to more on the Bulls. This is just a great
night for them, But this is the end of the process.
Tonight signifies the end of the process for the Sixers.
This is it in not knowing where to go. They
tried to build around Joel Embiid for a decade. He
was hurt early in his career a lot. By the
time he came back, okay, proved himself to be an

(04:45):
MVP caliber player. Now he can't stay on the court anymore.
Likely gonna have knee surgery. He and the Sixers are
talking about it. I can't believe we're ever going to
see him on the court again this year. So he's
not gonna play again. The Sixers need We've talked about
this for a while. They need a reboot. They got
to five times though, that's the second round of the playoffs.

(05:06):
That's a second round. That's what I made. It sounds
the conference. They've got to the conference quarter finals in
each of the last few years. That's making the playoffs.
That's getting it to play in and winning a game.
This is what we do.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
We take language and we weaponize it, right, And that's
what I'm doing here by saying, look at the grand
nature of those flameouts, and for Joel Embiid, it's it's
one of those difficult things of yes, we've had some
fun at his expense over his availability, but coming from
where he did, you know, those first two years where
it was we're not even gonna play you because there's.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
A process to this, a process. No more trust, no
more trus trust, I mean, no more trust. It's difficult.
Can't trust the process is really a four letter word.
Can't do it. Can't trust the process. Can't And look,
the whole thing is that Joel Embiid should be dealt
in the offseason. He should have surgery because he needs
to get healthy as soon as possible so the Sixers

(06:04):
can move on. They need to move taking that on there,
they need to move on. If he is Sixers, eat
every time. I want to make it happy, eat it.
There's a way to make it happen. There's always a
way for a guy like that who was still a
year and a half removed from being the MVP. If
he is healthy, if that's what I mean, have the
surgery now. So by the time July hits. Hey, everybody's

(06:24):
feeling good, looking good, everything is awesome. You might be
able to move on. This is this is the only
thing you can do well.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
You can always find a doctor to sign off saying
there's a problem.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Everybody, this is good. The continued fight over the Mark
Williams flap. Was it good enough? Was he not?

Speaker 3 (06:41):
If we pull one hundred doctors, we're gonna find somebody
that says, yeah, let's let's go. He was perfectly fine, right,
same thing with a beat. What's what's going on? Nothing
to see here, It'll be just fine. It's time to go.
It's it was time to trade him. Uh, you can
now officially trade him in the off season.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
It's time. It's time to move on from Paul. We
talked about this last week. The big names that are
gonna be out there in the offseason because teams need
to move on from these big name, high salary players,
the Sixers, Paul George, and Joel Embiid. Yeah, because even
even when all three guys are on the court at
the same time, there were a game over five hundred,
So it's not like this whole thing. The process is over.
And that's why tonight is such a big deal because

(07:20):
we've heard about trusting the process for over a decade.
Sam Mickey somewhere right now going, people are gonna call
me tomorrow man. They lost by thirty man. This is
the process, is a long living process. It's over. Here's
a new here's your new process. You have to move
on from Joel Embiid. You got to move on from
Paul George, build around Tyres Maxy. It is time for
a new process.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Is it like the Freddy Krueger series where they had
the rebirth of what was the school?

Speaker 1 (07:45):
Where he's like the kids like oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
well and the kid took over for Jason and Friday.
That that was Corey Feldman. Actually, I think before Lost Boys, uh,
people tried the full Michael Jackson when he took Who's
the one the one where Jay he killed j sorry spoiler,
he kill Jason at the end and he shaved his
head like Jason, well, and well he doesn't really you
think he's dead. And of course for some reason you

(08:06):
have to step over Jason, like why can't just go
out the other way? Why I have to step over him? Well,
go on the other way. Maybe they watched Derek Fisher.
You're not gonna I'm not gonna walk over Why am
I gonna walk over a guy with a machine. I'm
gonna walk the other way. There's some other opening, some
other way that's less dangerous, No at all. But then
they walk over Jason and then Jason gets up, he goes,
oh no, no, and then he just starts hacking away
at him, like and the like. The credits are going

(08:28):
and he's still and he's still hitting Jason with the machete.
And I'm sure the guy wasn't Tyler, it was not tied.
That's still.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Over.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
It's don't know, chuck the credits all the way through
the end. That's what we did in a photography Key Grip
and Corey Felman is still just chopping away it. Okay,
get some frustrations well childhood actor, yes, stuff, But I
don't think they said, hey, take out all your frustrations
on this guy we got dressed up as Jason war

(09:00):
that scene comes to bear. I mean, you don't know
what's gonna come out. I think we saw soon as
you say action, what do you think is gonna happen?
Here's a machete? Okay, what are you gonna do?

Speaker 4 (09:11):
What am I?

Speaker 1 (09:11):
You don't know how many times that guy yelled, cut,
I'm gonna shave with it? What am I gonna do?
I'm gonna shave my legs with it? What am I
gonna do that this guy? Man? Hey, you know, we
gotta know. But he was always supposed to hit him
a couple of times. As you say, the credits are
still going. Do you think that was organic? I mean,
I think that's.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
What came out.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
He won't stop? Is he okay? Okay? In the back
of yad stop He's already dead? Hey, I mean, here's
that in the Simpsons episode later on. I mean, tonight,
the process died. Tonight the process. I like Jason Vorgan
because that's kind of what it is. Man. It's it's
it's Corey Feldman just with the machete and vorgis is
the process. It's just like, I'm gonna keep getting you.

(09:50):
I think the process is dead. No no, no, keep going,
keep going, keep going. Okay, we're done now no no, no, no,
all the way to the end. Dead to the Bulls process.
At Home to the Bulls process.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
They should have When Joel Embiid came out before the
trade deadline, and he had that triple double that would
have been phone. You know, operators are standing by, and
they should have shown them in the war room and
been like a bank of phones like five, you know,
like that sandwich shop that for whatever reason didn't open
nil Nune on Sundays.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Yeah, because that made a lot of sense. Now, what's
going on with all those phones with the death of one?
But like it's the way it goes. It's like at
the end of Big Lebowski. Right, hey, you know Big Lebowski. Sorry,
sorry Donnie, but a new Lebowski comes into the world
right with the the death of one. So there's no
remix of the Big Lebowski. No, but I'm saying it's

(10:45):
the same time. It's the same kind. But I know
what you're doing. Well, most of the principals are still
with us though. Listen, Yes, she kidnapped herself. Okay, don't
you get it. I have all the evidence she kidnapped herself.
So the new berth now, because what have we seen
win their seventh straight game tonight? Not the Knicks, the

(11:07):
Detroit Pistons. What did I tell you? JB. Bickerstaff is
your coach of the year and it's not even close.
Detroit's now a top six team. And this is a
team that again hadn't been over five hundred since the
All Start break in over fifteen years. And they win
again tonight over the Clippers, and all of a sudden,

(11:27):
Detroit it's like, it's like Detroit basketball is back. Man.
There is no better story in the NBA than the Pistons.
I mean, look at this. They're a couple of games
away from creeping into the top four. They're only a
two games in a lost column back of the Bucks.
And then there's six games back in the Knicks. But
you're only two. You are two games back of getting

(11:47):
into the four seed, of having home court advantage in
the first round of the playoffs. Look at the Piston
the death of the Sixers, the birth of the Pistons.
How goes It's a circle, circle.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Of great in and out Burger out there. Great enough,
Hey gunning hand thirty two points in this one. He's
been on a roll. Kawhi Leonar Norman Poull did not play,
so let's hold up some candles for them.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Does norm not.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Playing kind of shut people up that kept doing all
the Lebron shouldn't have played in the All Star Games,
so nor can.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Play norm clearly can't play now, Caddy Exit out a boy,
the Fresca Exit Swollen Down. The Jason Smith Show is

Speaker 4 (15:42):
Fun all the fake, news, yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
All The, well before we get to, that let let's start,
here because obviously this has become a big deal over
the last few. Days is the The Matthew stafford situation
where initially he's talking about, retiring but then we, thought,
okay he wants more. Money looks like he wants more
money from The. Rams The rams have allowed him to
go out and see his value on the. Market potentially

(16:06):
they're open to Trading Matthew. Stafford can they really trade?
Him did you really see this ending With Matthew stafford
playing another team next? Season?

Speaker 4 (16:16):
YEAH i absolutely think they. CAN i, Mean i've been
hearing That Sam donald's been waiting to laying in the
weeds for you, know FOR i MEAN i THINK i
first were about to watch him post six weeks though
that you, know if he's not. Tagged and AGAIN i
think they'd be stupid not to transition. Them but if they,
don't THEN i think he And donal McVay think they

(16:41):
can make some pretty good music, together just like not
that long, Ago sean McVay right was ready to move
off With Jared goff and Give stafford actor and you
could Get donald a less. Money donald's, Younger donald's got more.
Upside donald at this stage of his career is more. Athletic.

(17:02):
YEAH i, mean, look every year people think that they're
pretty much kind of a milk toast like, team, right
and they, keep you, know ending up in the playoffs
more often than, not even though they've had injuries and bad.
Luck this guy can coach his assh. Off so you,
recruit you, know some serious draft capital and you get you,

(17:25):
know a stand in type, quarterback and you get him
with more, upside and you get them at a better
stage of his career and you get him. CHEAPER i,
MEAN i think they could stangle.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
That you think they made less need had a call
Like shane did With Saquon barkley to kind of, say,
hey you, know just give us a call, back you,
know when you figure out what the market.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Is.

Speaker 4 (17:46):
PLEASE i don't know anything about, that just.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
Just having fun with, it because you go into the
marketplace and clearly you're a quarterback where you've got so
many desperate teams that that you're going to find some
one that's willing to pay that fifty million. Dollars so
Is Pittsburgh would they be the front runner in? This
or where where do you see us the? LANDINGS i Think.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
PITTSBURGH i Think pittsburgh absolutely would be. INTERESTED i think
The giants you, know might might be. INTERESTED i think
The raiders absolutely would be. Interested now you, know, again
how feasible is? That how feasible are most of these
places to win? Anywhere you? KNOW i Think pittsburgh's in
their own. Category you can buy that. Defense you certainly

(18:32):
can buy the special teams they. Need they need, help
they need help at real. Players there's no doubt about.
That you're going to need a commitment from ownership to
try to buy some of those. Players AND i think
they will come away with a free agent receiver who
makes significant. MONEY i don't know that it'll BE T

(18:53):
higgins or, not you, know and there's certainly a drop
off after, that BUT i Think Pittsburgh, steelers to know be.
VIABLE i, Mean i'm almos to remember The Pittsburgh, steelers
and you know we're four and two With Justin fields
and like five and two With Russ wilson and then
obviously you know the bottom fell. Out but, uh they

(19:16):
don't run the ball as well as they. Should the
offensive lines probably need some. HELP i, mean there's no utopious,
here BUT i think that's an interesting Fin.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
You. Know the one THING i think IF i could
say one bold, PREDICTION i could, Say, Okay Matthew stafford.
Trade what would? Happen this is WHAT i would, say
The Matthew stafford. Trade The rams would announce it in
conjunction with the acquisition of their new. Quarterback like it's
not gonna be hey matt it would be, Hey, matthew,
thanks and here's our new. Quarterback like it would Be
matthew's gone And dartle's. In like they're gonna they're gonna

(19:47):
do a little bit of a blank you on, this just, like,
hey we got to get rid Of Jared goff and
you're trading you For Matthew stafford here Comes like it's
not gonna be that kind of, Move but it would
be one guy coming out and one guy coming, in
you're going out the, door and you're coming in the.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
Door that's what the combines. ARE i, mean LIKE i,
said like that they'll be able to talk To Sam,
Donald they'll know his price, point they'll, know you, know
what his hierarchy, is what the best fit. Is if
If donald doesn't look like you know that we can
come to a match with, him then maybe His. Cousins

(20:22):
it's not going to take wizardry and rocket science to
be able to gauge this market in real time while
you're Trading stafford for the most you can get for, Him,
LIKE i don't think it's you, know it's going to
take a whole lot of finagalan or a whole lot of.
Imagination like it's just a matter of doing the. Work

(20:45):
and again that's exactly what this week is all. About
so you, know do they also have to you, know
Bring garoppolo back in his insurance if it does end
up being a guy Like cousins and you're worried about
The achilles, blown they can they know how to stock
a quarterback, room like don't don't don't be able to you,

(21:06):
know walk in your. Gum at the same, time.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Moving on to.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
One of our favorite, topics the fun and excitement that
is the off season of The Dallas. Cowboys can you
define quote selectively aggressive.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
UNQUOTE i can spell the WORD bs for. YOU i
can spell that.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Out they're gonna try to spell. Selectively i'm, like is
that the ey Or?

Speaker 4 (21:31):
NO i can definitely spell this other eight letter. WORD i,
mean it's it's just it's it's. Exactly it's verbal. Masturbasing
it's saying just enough to make people stay quasi interested
about an utterly boring and pathetic, franchise and to keep
themselves from the periphery of the news, cycle and to
know just enough of a nibble or fake nibble to

(21:53):
give people to keep them on the. Line they have
a certain genius about that kind of. Stuff not particularly
good at building rosters or stocking football teams with. Talent
they don't know how to do contracts in a fourth right.
Manner their drafts have been pretty pedestrian of, late especially
by their standards from, six, seven eight years. Ago but my,

(22:18):
god you know we're all in the business of Propagating
Dallas cowboys BS. O this is, look don't be the
bust will be all over at all the hotspots In,
indianapolis and they know what the whisper to whom and
what the plant were To just kind of, again have cowboys?
Smoke how much fire there's going to? Be go look

(22:38):
at this list of free. Agents if you've been saving
your money to spend on these, guys you're a damn. Fool,
okay like you're a you're a jackass because there ain't much,
There like there just isn't so and they're not that,
smart but they're. There they're they're smart enough to know
that money does more for them in their pocket than

(22:59):
it does you know WHAT i, mean paying thirty thirty
to thirty three year old the caliber players like THEIR b.
Pluses they're not doing that they used to do. That
that's not as much more fun making money this WAY.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Nfl inside Of Jason locking for our, guest The Jason
smithson With Mike Carmon live from the tirec Dot Com.
Studios All, Right, so as far as smoke and what
we can see through what we, CAN'T i find it
hard to believe that all this talk, About, Hey Aaron
rodgers is a fix, here he's a solution, Here he's
this guy here that's got to be smoke, RIGHT i
mean that is that real to? BE i know the
quarterback class in frequency is, Bad, jay but is it that?

Speaker 4 (23:36):
BAD i. DON'T i don't see a price point match for.
HIM i just, don't you. Know is he a guy
who just waits and some really good team has an
injury and he comes in with the contract that's loaded
with incentives for sentence for each? Win you, KNOW i don't,

(23:57):
KNOW a million dollars a, win five million dollars if
you still get us to the, Playoffs, LIKE i don't
know the upfront. MONEY i just you, know if somebody's
will't the smart. EVALUATORS i talked to his final year
In Green bay. Though he was a twenty to twenty
five million dollar quarterback, then and that's that's one Good achilles.
Ago so, like could he still get that money because

(24:19):
of the market forces you're talking? About maybe where right?
Now you know where on the second day of the league,
year or the seventh day of the league, year or
the fourteenth day of the league. YEAR i don't.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
KNOW i.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Don't. KNOW i don't see fun Out LIKE i don't
see anybody who got hired in one of these front
offices who's a champion Of Aaron rodgers or you know
WHAT i, mean would have some deep ties to him
where it's, like, oh, well that'll be the guy that
thinks he can fix. Him LIKE i don't, KNOW i

(25:04):
don't see an obvious match and the three you're going
in the first round and maybe it ends up being,
four who, Knows but that wouldn't be good news For
Aaron rodgers.

Speaker 1 (25:12):
Either so we get to the combine this.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Weekend everybody started to send on the usual haunts and
we'll see everybody operating Except Abdul carter has got a
note from his doctor And Shador sanders is not going
to do anything actively anything to read out of. THAT i,
mean does that affect any of the teams at the
top and they're decision making or is it just that

(25:36):
business as?

Speaker 4 (25:37):
USUAL i mean if it, does then that's a blight on.

Speaker 3 (25:40):
Them, Okay, yeah just the idea that you can just
start training now after a couple of months of inactivity For,
carter whether that slows, down you, know if you're looking
for an impact year one, come.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
This is all poppy. Cocky don't play football matters Till. September,
NO i don't think it'll matter at, all nor should
it matter they make these kids stay in college for three? Years?
RIGHT i, mean that's just this is what it. Is
it's the it's the NFL's minor, leagues and they're in
cohoudes together and they have arbitrary, law you, know agreements

(26:18):
about how long you've got to be there so that
college gets its labor and then THE nfl gets Those
like you've had plenty of time to evaluate these, kids
especially at the top of the. DRAFT i JUST i
get a chuckle out of all those who's going to
do what this? Is this? Is it's, ridiculous like it,
REALLY i, mean how many smart football people Like Bill

(26:41):
belichick stopped, going you, know what are we doing? Here?
Like what could we? Do, okay if everybody's being harnessed,
there like this is the only place you could do?
Business what would a really smart person find? Out what
COULD i do more? Efficiently like if everybody's caught up
in this, group thing that really with modern technology is

(27:02):
outplayed it's usefulness outside of the. Medicals but no football
people need to be there for the. Medicals they wouldn't
know what they hello to, do you know with the
medicals if they try. So, Uh, NO i. DON'T i
don't think it will matter one, bit AND i don't
think either of those young, men and they'll be waiting
very long to hear their name.

Speaker 1 (27:20):
Call he's On twitter At Jason lock and. Four that
is At Jason locke and Four odyssey ONE o five
seven The fan In, Baltimore Washington Post jay as always
by the appreciated. Man we'll talk to you next week
Unless stafford gets. Traded then we'll call you middle of the.

Speaker 4 (27:34):
Night let's. Go i'm up for.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Buddy thank you for, you. Buddy there Goes Jason locking for.
You this is gonna be one of Those this is
gonna be one of those combines where all the big
stories are going to be manufactured. Story but does this mean?

Speaker 3 (27:52):
ANYTHING i don't think it. Does but maybe he. Differed
but knowing.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Our, guy Mister locke and for LIKE i.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
DO i was pretty sure of what his answer was
going to.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Me but BUT i will give you a, big bold
predict now and you know Where i'm, coming BUT i.
Will i'm telling you. Now it's, like, Oh jason's not
just saying, no this is actually. HAPPENING i told. You
i'm telling. You when it's all said and, done and
you're starting to see the. Rise, Now kyle McCord will
go in the first. Round what DID i tell you
he's gonna slide up into that first round end of
the front or. Nothing end of the first, round someone's

(28:26):
gonna make a move up from early in the second
to get there to get, him because he is the quarterback.
Riser he, is but it's also the.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Riser we always chuckle about that because these, guys we
know there's not only going to be two quarterbacks in
a first, round just not the way the business, works,
right because of such advantages that you get if you've
got a team that's any, good i. E drafting at
the back end of the first, round and maybe you're
in a transition with your quarterback or expecting to be

(28:54):
in short, order that you go in and get that
guy and bring him in at the back end of
the First and, yeah But cord's that.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Guy LIKE i told you this.

Speaker 3 (29:03):

Jets i'll be extremely, Happy But i'll be the happiest.

to be a love. Fest he is the, story, right
Shitt or is not gonna throw, gent he's not gonna
be part of. Things this thing With, CARTER i don't
think it's a big. Deal but when you've got to
go and literally you're putting out a press release basically to, say,
hey every team's getting something from his, Doctor like do

(29:40):
we need to do that because a twenty nine of these. Teams,
yeah unless you're really looking to trade a bunch of,
stuff you had no shot at.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
This there's a reason why he went From i'm suing
the Or i'm bringing action against college football for one
more year to Suddenly i'm dropping that and going to
the draft like he. Knew he's. Right he spins. It
he throws better than. Anybody everybody's gonna see. It telling
you man first round time now to find out what's
trending in the wide world of. Sports but guy who's

(34:39):
well this story's pretty. Simple WHEN i saw it this
weekend and and into, TODAY i, thought, oh this is
my favorite. STORY i, Mean i've been waiting twenty years
for a story like, this waiting that. Long The yankees have.
Decided now you know they Play New, York New york
after every game At Yankee, stadium, right so that's only
what they. Do you, know The yankee game, Ends yankees,

(35:01):
win whatever it. Is oh, Right but The yankees have,
Decided AND i don't know how this got to the
point where they said we're gonna do. This they're only
gonna Play New, York New york after they. Win, Okay
they're gonna play a different song after they. Lose and
now it looks like it's gonna Be That's life By Frank.
Sinatra AND i saw this story AND i, said this

(35:24):
is the best. Story and my wife said, WHY i,
said because The yankees have a loser. Song they decided
it's a good idea for us to have a loser
song that they could be trolled with THAT i can
just start Singing That's life to Any yankee fan after
a game and they're gonna hang up on. Me The yankees,
decided you know what it, is we can't just keep Playing New. York,

(35:44):
no let's get a loser song so that when we
lose a, game everybody knows this is a song we're gonna.
Hear this IS i don't know how you sit in
a meeting with pr or advertise or whatever it is that,
yes we're gonna make sure we have a loser. SONG
i know you have one, song right if your song
is whay? WENTEVER i mean win Or? Lose. Right it's

(36:04):
one of my favorite songs all time was The San
Diego supercharger. Song they would play it after every, game
win Or lose You, sandy and then you Hear Burman,
sandy you go super Jar charge OF dj but you
heard the, song, right because that's the team. Song, no, no,
No we're gonna have a. Losers that's the bast.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
You've been identified for, us. RIGHT i MEAN i still
Love la one way or.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
ANOTHER i, mean like all that is like you don't give.
IN i get.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
It folks were trolling you a bunch after the change
of the facial hair policy that's been in place for
forty years and rubbing it in the face a big
stein after all these years and changing. That so we
had fun with. It we talked about it on the.
Show you could find the podcast. There AND i know
it's a reaction to a lot of, changes BUT i

(36:55):
liked What Aaron judge had to. Say, look if that's
the determining factor of whether you wanted to be, here
then you don't belong. Gear AND i agree with that a,
right but also you owe to personal, brands identify viable
traits and all of those. Things but this is why
would you have a song when you? Lose like my
kids always would joke Watching northwestern games and they'd stay

(37:17):
through when the band would come out and play the alma.
Mater and at one, point because, look we have not
been very good for long stretches of time, newsflash they would.
JOKE i was, like so they only play this when they, Lose,
like no play when we win, Too that just doesn't
happen as.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Frequently but they identified that as the loser. Song i'm, like, no, no,
no that's The alma. Mater that's.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Different but now this is clearly identified with a loss
or whatever. Song it sounds like they may decide on
a rotation of, things but at least in the.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Moment and how do you Think sinatra's family feels about
this stra? Song BUT i, mean now that's a loser.
Song this is like to somebody from The mets to
be working for The yankees to come up with, This,
hey let's have a. Song we're gonna have a loser
song we play after when we lose. Games became an

(38:09):
embedded agent with The New York. Yankees what did you?
DO i suggested the other? Song THAT'S i. Mean my
dad called me yesterday AND i asked the, phone AND i,
said been a, puppet a, pirate a. Poet paprio's, odd,
jeez you're, Done you're done, Yet you're?

Speaker 3 (38:29):
Done but he knew, already see because that started circulating
yesterday what late, morning early. AFTERNOON i was, Like, okay
this is, interesting and now it's gained.

Speaker 1 (38:39):
Legs we were, up we're, down we're. Over we, lost
AND i know one. THING i, mean it's it's it's
this is this is my favorite BECAUSE i can the
trolling of The yankee. Fans we decided we're gonna have
a loser.

Speaker 3 (38:51):
Song are we gonna write a parody song about everything
that happened in the fifth inning of That World series?
Game in the style that's life you're In judge in
the fly, ball not holding a, runner not covering, first
like all of these things put to, MUSIC i think
it just becomes a. POEM i THINK i think there's something.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
There SAW i judged bumble and bumble and drop the.
Ball now you made it berman even. Better but Then
vopie he threw the ball wide up third, base the
grounder went To rizzo and they forgot to come for first.
Base that's, life that's The World.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Series you just, decided after all these, years they're gonna
make some stark, changes you know.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
What facial hair its kinda.

Speaker 3 (39:43):
Still, like we don't want any, hippies we don't want
duck dynasty up in. There and now we're gonna change
the tradition of the post game.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
SONG i, mean, REALLY i don't know who thought of.
THIS i, Mean i'm glad they, did because this is
such a much, day this is such a great. Song in,
FACT i wouldn't be. Surprised after a little, While yankees, Go,
okay we're just going back To New, York New, york

win we're just gonna forget. Together we're gonna.
