start the weekend. Now, let's speed up a bit.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Everybody's saying, wait for it, wait for it. Maybe half day,

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Do people still take smoke breaks?
Speaker 3 (01:36):
I don't know that they There's a lot of smoking
going on. You live in California, so it's it's a
different world. Go back to the Midwest, Go walk around,
Go walk around to downtown area and tell me you're
you're not walking into a lot of.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Plumes of smoke. Yeah, but no, but doesn't don't most
people vape? Now? Is it like smoking? Just like for
the old school smokers, like the pay there's.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Still a lot of them out there body and they
can't retire the cost of living. I mean, it has
has kept them in the workforce, which means more smoke.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I just I just I just know that. I'm like,
I know, I haven't seen people no, even like I
go back to Detroit because you think, okay, well you
go back to Trout, you'll see people smoking. Like even
when I go back there for vacation, like, I don't
see as many people smoke as I used to. It's weird.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
You just blew the minds of a lot of people
right there. Even want to go back to Detroit, I'm vacation.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well yeah, well because look there's lots of casinos in Detroit, right,
so obviously, I mean, if you're gambling, okay, chances are hey,
you'll be smoking too, because I'll man, I'm kind of nervous.
You're on the so you would think there would be that,
but I just I just don't see.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
But for some folks, the the cigarettes calm down. Yeah no,
I mean right, I mean it's yang thing right of
the you're agitated, but now you got a fixation.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
There, so there you gonna make that jump.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
And you start thinking about the meaning of life as
you stand there staring at the stars and hearing people
scream about about what they just lost, or maybe there's
a fight at the poker table. I don't know, there's
a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You talk a lot about the meaning of How often
do you do you think about the meaning of life
like you every day? That phrase life really? Oh yeah,
that sounds exhausting.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
No, not really. It's it's usually when I'm out walking
the dog and and you know, I'm happy, I'm in
a good space, and it's just like, all right, why
are we here? See that's just when I'm in this
moment walking the dog right now.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
See, when I take the dog for walk is when
I think, Okay, what are the Mets needs? Who do
they need to bring up? Because obviously okay Blackburn's on
the alisle now and none, but he never really came back.
What should they? Should Sproke come up? Should they? You know,
Tidwell should be back up and singing? Like That's what
I think of when I go walk the dog.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Tid Well got his extension from the Cardinals. Leave him alone, okay.
Before he passed, Glenn pry took care of him.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I'm just okay, I'm just I introduced you to your wife.
Oh come on, Jerry, that is not fair.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
You're gonna pay.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
But today, just to start with this before before we
get to the big event tomorrow. Today is the fortieth
anniversary of what we have talked about in the last week.
The best movie of the modern era of film, which
begins with Jaws in nineteen seventy five. That began the
modern era of movies. We have pre nineteen seventy five Jaws,
which celebrated fiftieth anniversary today. Back to the future turns forty.
(04:18):
We're bringing this up again.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
You're going back to that greatest thing You've been trying
to because it's fun.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm not trying to I'm telling you it's forty. It's
not the truth. I'm telling you categorically false. What do
you mean categorically? How could you say categorically false? Did
you have time on many of your dogwalks Meaning of
Life to to to think about what the best movie
of the and come around to Mike, there was there
is blood there There was really that's on no one's list,
(04:45):
that's on absence, there will be.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Blood is a top ten movie on all time lists.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
There's no way, yeah, on a list of movies where
the word blood is in the title. And also there
will be that is in the top ten one hundred percent.
You're out of your mind, or as my mom would
call that movie, dig we must I go, I said,
what what dig we must? That movie Daniel day Lewis.
There's another movie with Daniel Lewis now, the one where
(05:10):
he comes and he's he's it's the oil. I said,
you mean there will be blood. Where did you get
dig we Must from shooes? I thought that was the
name of the movie. I'm like, that's not even close
to what the name of the movie was. So that
movie in our house for a long time was dig
we Must, And still when we talk about it is
it is sometimes dig we Must.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
That is kind of interesting. It's almost like it's mashed
with you know, a New Hope which people love, you know, apocalypse.
Now you know you've got other Dark Dark, Dark Knight.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Dark Knight really better than Bad the Future, Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Even though Jack Nicholson was a better joker than Heath Ledger, but.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So it got so it's somehow better than another movie
where a guy was better in the big starring role.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Now that Batman Knight eighty nine was a fantastic movie. Dark,
it was really good. Hits all the notes.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
That's okkay. But I mean I'm just saying like, hey,
you think you'd get everything great from everywhere, but okay,
you have a movie.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Where I'm not saying Heath Ledger was was any slouch.
I mean he was given an award for his performance
by by others.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Hey listen, never sell anyone short because they can always
be a tremendous louch. So back to the Future turns
forty Mike Harmon on the Meaning of Life, and tomorrow
Joey Chestnut makes his triumphant return to the Nathan's Hot
Dog Eating Contest once again. You can watch the Nathan's
Hot Dog Eating Contest and I'll tell you what it
has to do with NBA Free Agency in a couple
(06:38):
of minutes. But I will tell you this right off
the bat, since today's been a big day for gambling
because apparently, you know, everybody's getting investigated for pitches that
are thrown or dunks that are made, and you know, hey,
turn out.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
General Outlaw Daily Fantasy. Here in California, it's the Wild West.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I will say this, I don't know what the odds are,
but because I know you will, you'll be able to
tell me in like four seconds. But chess Nuts got
the record for seventy six hot dogs, right. And we
spent today going through all the different records that are
out there for competitive and some of the stuff. I'm like,
you've just got to be kidding me, Like I think
the record I think Matt Stoney has the record for
peeps in eight minutes by eating two hundred and fifty five.
(07:19):
I'm like, how can you eat two hundred and fifty
five peeps in six minutes? Like how is that you?
I mean, I get the hot dog thing because I
watch it, but stuff like that, like you know, yeah,
two hundred and fifty five peeps in six minutes, Like
I can't believe that, But it's on the Major League
Eating website. Here's all the records, and that's one of them.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Well, but that's the beauty of it is there's so
many of these contests that are absolutely insane, including eating
hot dogs. My god, I et about four become accept.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
That's become acceptable now, you know, Like I ain't the
hot dog the hot dog eating CODs Okay, it's oh yeah,
but I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Tell you that he's what is it? It is? He's one
to twenty.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Toll of course, because he wins every year by like
thirty odds.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
About ninety six percent.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Eh.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So you're saying there's a chance almost like there's a
you know, you went back to your your Clayton Kershaw
eleven to one, and you were mad that immaculate Lenning.
It's like it should be like a million to one,
it should be five hundred to one. Should have been here,
here's one where Joey Chestnut. This is almost like begging you.
It's like he's gonna be out of shape man, like
he took last year off. He was eating those vegan things.
(08:30):
It's like, there's no way he's ready for this man.
Bernoletti plus sixteen hundred esper plus twenty two hundred web
plus twenty five hundred.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I'm gonna tell you this, it's been a year away.
He's mad, he's motivated. Now he's back. He wants to
announce his presence again with authority. I would go I
would go over eighty hot dogs for Joey chestnutt he's
got the record at seventy six, right, and clearly a
lot of the records that he said have been a
few years ago, us breaking down competitive eating. This is
(09:01):
so much fun to eat. But if seventy six is
the record I got, he wants to hit eighty tomorrow
and say I am back and never think about having
this without me. Again and put me in all the
kind of stuff you want to say. I would take
over eighty hot dogs for Joey chest That's wrong. What
are the odds on that?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Was Vegas?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Is Vegas short? Me on those odds too. Oh, it's
only four in the water. It's only three to one?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I am what are the walking on that? As we speak? Hold? Please?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You know you need to wear you need to wear
Advisor when when we do gambling stuff like, okay, I
think it might help you know, you know, focus a
little bit, you know, if you wear a visor, then okay,
I'm in I'm in Mike Harmon gambling mode right now.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, because I've got let's see hot dogs eaten by
Joey Chestnut. The over under is only seventy one and
a half. Wow. Wow, So over is minus one oh five.
Under is minus one thirty five. And I'll tell you
why ready. It's because last year as the to be
the champion, Bertoletti only eight fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, they come on.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
That's which means which means Chestnut unless he's really to
your mind of I want to show people, you know,
and leave no doubt who's the greatest of all time? Yeah,
come on gastro. Now I'm making delights and watching my
stomach balloon. He's not gonna need more than say sixty
to beat Berto Lettie this year. So but how much
(10:28):
does he need that huge margin of error? Because think
about it, that guy won in his ten minutes, he
was still eighteen short of the record.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, but this is what goats do. They're not motivated by,
you know, by by who they're playing it. They're motivated
by history. They're motivated by what can get motivated by
the sheep. Yeah, it's it's it's I'm not motivated by
the people I'm playing against him. I'm motivated by history,
what I can accomplist. It's me against It's like in
Rocky four when Rocky says to Apollo, says, you ever
think sometimes it's just you against you? I mean that's that,
(11:00):
That's what most think.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It's me. Hey, it's me against me. What can I do?
Eighty hot dogs? I would say I would go over
eighty hot dogs tomorrow. I bet you there's money to
be made there. I'm not sure, but because everywhere I've looked,
because I thought you would find, because you're the expert
on ever I've looked at keep telling me that, yeah,
some books will take odds on over eighty hot dogs,
but there's not like readily available. So I wonder if
the odds are really low and there's money to be made.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, I'm looking for prop bets here. The over hot
dogs eating by the winner over seventy one and a
half is minus one ten special to win the contest
by at least twenty five hot dogs is fifteen to one.
By twenty or more, it's plus four point fifty. I
want me to keep going.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Okay, get it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
And then you've got a bunch of you know, head
to head competitions, a web versus Chestnut, Web versus versus
chest Now you got. The women's contest has a bunch
of prop bets as all. As well. You can get
ten to one on both the men's over seventy six
and women's over fifty one to be broken tomorrow for
(12:06):
the records for Chestnut and Pseudo to combine to eat
at least one hundred and twenty hot dogs, just plus
one fifteen.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Okay, all right, all right, all right, I still like
my ass. I want to find out why the eighty
is so difficult to find but I get maybe there's
money there.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Maybe well, but I think that becomes the all the
money the over under got said at seventy one and
a half, and that becomes a you contact your book
and especially if you have a relationship, like we've talked
with our buddy Todd Furman lo these many years, you
got that information like how many times did he say,
I'll I'll give you whatever a hud you want? He
used to do work for Caesar's doing that. If you
(12:43):
have a relationship, you could probably get them to make
a custom bet for you. Hey, kay, what line do
you give me at eighty? Like you know, you can
just need to start traveling to Vegas a little bit,
establish a rapport, hang out with the smokers outside. It's
a full circle, and then you have your opportunity to say, hey,
I'm looking at this hot dog contest. Hey, what kind
(13:04):
of odds you give me that he tops eighty eighty eighty?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Now here's the thing, and here's why it's great that
we have the fourth of July Hot Doggeting Contest book
ending the week that began with NBA Free Agency. Right,
all all the tu so far, NBS so far, NBA
Free agency has been okay, right, Like, I'm not following
all the ESPN and NBA hype all the fast and
frenzied signings. The biggest person to change teams was Miles Turner.
(13:34):
Understand that that's not a frenzy, that that's okay. Yeah,
there's a lot of signings, but when you talk about
big things that are going on, yeah, so I can't
really say it's a frenzy. It's more this is what
free agency has been, right, it's been an okay start
to free age. Yes, there's big money being doled out,
but mainly it was it was teams keeping their guys,
(13:54):
which is, hey, what Adam Silver and what the NBA want.
We want to make sure the teams are able to
keep their players. Right. You saw big extensions James Harden
and we watch Shake Gilders Alexander become the highest paid
player in NBA history. So yes, it's how it goes.
But it's just been an okay week, right, Like it
hasn't been unbelievable, And it's kind of like hey, the
hot dog eating contest. Some years there's Joey Chestnut, right,
(14:17):
some years Lebron is out there and you have other
big trades and Chris Paul wants to get dealt and
David Stern is saying basketball reasons, and some years it's okay,
it's Miles Turner, Like Miles Turner is last year for
the hot dog eating contest, but now we got Joey
Chestnut backing. Now suddenly, hey, it's a much bigger deal,
right the hot dog eating contests. Wow, it's hot dog
eating contest. Whereas last year is, oh yeah, maybe I'll
(14:40):
watch all oh how many he eat? He missed it
by twenty Yeah, I don't even care. Like that's kind
of what this NBA range. But now the best part
is coming up when the trade season really hits. That's
going to be something because there's big names going to
be available, which we'll get to that in a few minutes,
but right now, it's like, okay, this is kind of
what free agency is. When you don't have the big names.
(15:00):
You can't dress it up and sit here and tell
me that it's what a seismic move Miles Turner is
to the Bucks. I'm like, okay, let's just let's just
understand Miles Turner trade changing teams is not Lebron.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You know, meeting with teams and and Don Nelson and
you know, being wheeled in with a broken foot to
try to woo him to come to the Knicks and
everybody going to visit Lebron like this is not that. Okay,
it's a it's a the NBA fragency is a nod
Joey Chestnut hot dog gear.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Now here's a couple of things to it. Number One,
last year, he battled Kobayashi in that away from the
Nathans competition. He ate eighty three hot dogs, absolutely dusted
Kobayashi by a full fifteen to claim victory as they
hadn't gone against each other in what fourteen years or
something like that. Okay, fine, now he comes back, so
(15:52):
again you're over under proposition that we throw through. But
I also have one word that made define the next
couple of weeks in the NBA and team in Texas.
Uh kind of had it out there. It's something we've
circled him around as we've talked about. Uh, that Lebron guy,
and that's buyout that will help to fire.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Tell you what to happen to with Dame Lillard?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Right Hey, huh, let's all clap bands and go away.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Man a bunch of teams. I think behind the scenes
are going, hey, can we do that?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
The the the Jerry McGuire ending, why don't we have
that relationship?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And they tried to hug.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah, it gets all weird.
Speaker 1 (16:32):

whole bunch of video highlights of our shows. Be sure
to subscribe so you never miss our very best Fox
Sports Radio videos on YouTube. And today, you sent me
(18:08):
the text this morning when it happened, I couldn't believe
when I saw it, the death of Michael Madson, one
of the greatest, most prolific actors Hollywood has ever seen,
at the age of sixty seven earlier today, and social
media has been everywhere today with all of his roles,
and it was amazing to see people. Of course, they're
gonna jump on Reservoir Dogs and kill Bill. But you know,
(18:30):
seeing people talk about, hey, I really loved him in
Free Willy and I'm gonna go watch Free Willie now
again because he was he was a good guy and
and just you realize that he had so many incredible roles.
I'll go back, like, look, we'll get to Reservoir Dogs
in a second, just because it was such a big deal.
But I go back. I remember seeing him for the
first time in the Natural and you know, and he
was bumped Bailey and thinking, boy, this guy like I met,
(18:54):
got under my skin. I didn't like him, and you know,
I'm a teenager watching movie and I realizing, oh, this
is this is someone doing a fantastic job as an
actor because he absolutely embodies he's the star and and
and he's the guy that obviously he has a he
has a different standing with the team because he's helping
them to fix games, and he's he's well dressed, and
(19:16):
he's got the girlfriend, and he's very dismissive of other people.
And you know, it was just an incredible I mean,
that's the first thing I ever saw him in when
I was a teenager, thinking wow, he was so good
and then that's who he was the rest of his career,
you know, And and we can we could talk about
all these movies like Donnie Braska was one of the
most underrated movies ever. The amount of incredible performances in
(19:38):
that movie, whether it's Paccino so understated and Michael Madsen
is Sonny Black, but you know, you get you get
that Reservoir Dog scene that has been getting a lot
of play today, the stuck in the middle with you
scene where he and Marvin Nash have a little bit
of an interaction. I'll just say, for anybody who hasn't
seen a little bit, yeah, and uh, you know, it's
it's an entire career you can see in that scene
(20:03):
because he is so unbelievably terrifying just in those three minutes,
like he's he's fan. That's I mean, Look, the movie
that launch Quentin Tarantino's career is Reservoir Dogs, and that
scene really you could say is responsible for for a
lot of it, because it's what everybody keeps going back to.
It's one of the most iconic scenes in the history
of film. And and he's absolutely I keep going, he's
(20:24):
absolutely terrifying. And that's what he brought to so many
roles is that he was so always, so unpredictable. You
never knew when he was on camera, Hey, the scene
could go this way, it could go this way. You're
kind of on edge and I'm watching him going, Okay,
what's gonna happen here? And you know that's where everything
just you know, for his whole career comes together. And
he's not really gonna do that? Is he? Yes?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
He is?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And then not only does he do it, he basks
in the glow of it after is Marvin Natch is
just sitting there and he's moving his head and it's
just what did I just watch? I mean that that's
such an iconic scene. It really, It's not many people
could pull something like that off and be charismatic while
at the same time being so terrifying. And that was
(21:07):
Michael Matts. And I'm so glad that that was getting
most of the attention today out of everything for him.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, I mean, so many of those roles, it's it's
that same calm demeanor while being absolutely dastardly go go
all the way through his run of roles. Talk about
kill Bill uh, the scene that with Karenine or he's
sitting there going, hey, she's coming. He's like, yeah, we
all deserve to die.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It's just measured.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
And cold, and he's got these piercing eyes and it's like, oh,
there's the innocence, but you see the darkness just beyond,
Just like that scene with good old Marvin Nash. Still
kind of funny, that one of those very uncomfortable moments
in a movie theater where folks kind of are chuckling along,
like Okay, what's he gonna do.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
He's just dancing with the knife in his hand.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
And he's yeah, it's it's just you know, one of
those you know, And it's a movie that that I
don't know. It was in my house. It was big
because there was a million quotable lines from him and
Tell and and all the way on down the line,
go back to the initial diner scene and everything Lawrence
Tierney uh getting after it. But for for Michael Madson,
(22:21):
I mean, you think about some of the other stuff
you talked about Donnie Brasco, you look at Wyatt erp
Sin City, and just keep going on down the line.
There's just so many, so many iconic roles. And you know,
my daughter asked me as stuff started scrolling and she
recognized a few of the movie titles and like, he's
just that guy that you know, if you if you
(22:42):
needed an actor that that you you found him. If
he was in a good space and he had time
on the calendar, it's like, yeah, let's get him in
Mulholland Falls. He did, Like.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I mean, like you know, not all of them are
gonna be great, but he found like that one a year.
That boy that's really good. Boy, he's really good. But
that's just it.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Right, Hey bring him in for a day or two
to do one or two scenes and he'd come in
and kill it and give you the complete tone of
the movie. Right. He showed up in Once upon a
Time in Hollywood as one of his final roles. So,
I mean, there's there's stuff all over the place, and
and folks will go back into the filmography, but Matt's
one hell of a thirty plus year run.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You know. The thing is, we were talking about it to say.
We went to have lunch and we were waiting in
line to go at a at a burger place near
uh near our house, and we were probably about five
or six five or six feet away from the from
the cash register and we're talking about it and Zoe
hasn't seen Reservoir Dogs yet, and we shee says other stuff.
I said, oh my god, this scene because we were
talking about stuck in the middle and everything else. And
(23:43):
so when when the the the server says okay, you
know next, I go, okay, great, and I start kind
of walking up like like Michael Matts. And when he's
down at the beginning, and I'm kind of shuffling and
bouncing back and and and and the server goes, where's
your knife? I was like, oh, okay.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Okay, well, that guy's angling for a big tip.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I'm hoping nobody like in the kitchen. God, you just
ask a customer where his knife was. What the hell
was that?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Like?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
You know, but she got what I was done. I'm
just doing the I'm doing the whole And the song
wasn't even playing, and I like the song was even playing.
I'm just I'm just doing the dance walking up. I
kind of been shuffling all day like Michael Madsen.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
It was dancing in everybody's head all day long. You know.
That's also one of the doors good role. Yeah, and
today's the anniversary of Morrison's death, which is weird that
they're forever connected. Nineteen ninety one, he was also in
Thelma and Louise. Oh yeah, you want to talk about
a killer year for him? He had two two monster hits,
and then ninety two is Reservoir Dogs.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You know, and you think, you know what this happens
a lot with songs, right, is that there's certain songs
that are big hits, and there's certain songs that, because
they're so identifiable, when you hear them, you think of
the movies. You don't think of anything else. You don't
think of a time in your life where, oh, this
reminds me when I was in high school, when I
was a sor this reminds me, and when I was
(24:59):
on my first state with my wife, this ride. There's
some songs that just take you. All you can think
of is the movie, right all either And like when
I hear Leayla Now, every time I hear the Bridge
of Laila, I I don't think of the song. You
think of of of all the and goodfellas, everybody getting killed, right,
you know, DeNiro killing Everybody's discovery e Yeah, all the
discoveries when they when when he was Frozen So Solid
(25:21):
took him two weeks to do the aud.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Time Franky Carbone.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
But even though that, there is nothing that stops me
and makes me think of it more than when I
hear Stuck in the Middle with You. I never I
think of nothing else other than that movie. And I
think about the movie and and things about it and
what I like, and there's there's I can't I I
was trying to think today, is there another song that
I hear that says Nope, that's that movie song, that's
that movie song. But stuck in the Middle with you.
(25:46):
Every time you hear that bit, and then even when
I hear ryl Crow, all I want to do because
you know, that's kind of lifted right from Stuck in
the Middle with You. Uh, you know, I think the
same thing. I'm like a and I'm thinking about Reservoir
Dogs from a movie where a where where a riff
was lifted from in the middle with you like that,
like right away, boom. That's all I think about is that.
And the song ends and you know, I'm dancing along
(26:06):
to it, and it's it's it's a four minute think
about that movie and that scene. And Michael Mattson every
time I hear that song.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah, otherwise you're looking at a bunch that are really
just you know, it's right on the nose, you know,
like Shaft the anniversary of earlier this week, or Frankie
Valley with Grease, you know in Greece.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, well that songs that were made for that movie.
They were obviously this is a song that came out
in the seventies.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
That that that Oh I got I got one that
maybe worse. You know. Go ahead, when you when you
hear Glory of Love by Peter Satara, what do you think?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay, not that they play that that often on the radio,
but okay, sure, I'll give you a glory of Love.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Even though it was the Karate Kid too, and not
actually the first, but you just say Karate Kid.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I remember, I remember the first time when I turned
to my best friend in the car when it came
on the radio, like this time in the late nineties,
and I just go. Joe Egan and Jerry Rafferty were
duo known as Steeler's Wheel when they recorded this pop
dylanesque bubblegum favorite in April of nineteen seventy four as
k Billy Super Sounds of the seventies, continues. He looked
(27:20):
at me and he goes, what the hell was that?
What the what the hell? What the hell was the
how you.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Can either people are on your side or now they're
freaked out a little bit and a little so.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I said, ah, it's a reservoir dogs like But I
said it like so serious because I'm trying to channel
Steven right, Joe Eagan and Jerry Raverie. Uh so, yes,
rest in peace, Michael mattson an incredible, incredible career. Now, look,
there's there's some big stuff to get to NBA wise tonight. Right,
we have the first week of free agency down and
certain teams achieving doing things. But I want to say
(27:53):
this because you know, I've seen a lot of Hey,
what are moves we've seen so far in free agency
that people like the most? What move to people hate
the most? Right now, there's a couple I really don't like,
which we'll get to. But why I see, Oh I
really like this. I really like Miles Turner's Like, Okay,
I feel honestly, the right answer for the move that
(28:14):
has been the best that they like the most so far,
the right answer is it hasn't happened. Yet there's not
been one move. There's not been one move so far
that by itself vaults a team. So far, now, there
have been moves where, hey, this team, by by doing
these couple of things, they have done something. They have
done something great, but nothing to say all of a sudden, Wow,
(28:35):
they're vaulted. They're gonna be a top three team in
that in the Eastern Conference, right, Like hey, Atlanta made
some nice one, They're gonna be a top three team
all of a sudden, come on, right. But that's why
I think the biggest thing is still to come. The
best free agent move or the best it's still coming.
No one's gone over the top like Atlanta's Floury was
lower level free agent move so far, maybe to entice Giannis,
(28:57):
which would then make it into something bigger. But that's
kind of what I'm waiting for. We haven't seen the
big move yet. There's been some rearranging, and that's why
I think the trade season we're gonna get now is
gonna be off the hook, because no longer do team say,
all right, we're gonna make moves the beginning of free
agency and try to put our team together. They want
(29:17):
to put there because there's so much to be known
with them not known with the money and the salaries. Now,
that's so difficult that teams have taken a different strategy
and now it's okay, we're gonna go through free agency first,
and then we're really gonna trade. Like, if there's a
couple of minor trades happen, we can do that, but
if we're looking to make a big splash, we kind
of have to get our ducks in a row. Would
(29:37):
acquire whatever expiring contracts we want to sign whatever players
in free agency. So we're building here and then when
other teams can see the landscape more fully and stars
can understand, Okay, this is what Team X is trying
to do. Yes, I would you can trade me to
that team because I see what their strategy is. Because
sometimes you just need a week or two for a
(29:58):
player to say, yeah, would I want to go? Why
would I want to go to Atlanta? Who knows what
the hell they're doing now? Suddenly, oh wait, Atlanta's making
some nice under the radar moves. Oh that's something that hey,
I'm in for that. Gianni says, I want to go
to Atlanta, Like this is now going to be the
really fun part of the NBA offseason because now we're
getting away from the NBA free agency and getting to
the trade season.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, obviously we still have the curiosity of whatever that
seven team thing, like a seven layer dip that keeps growing. Hey,
throw some of that on there too. Does that count
as an ingredient? Yeah, now it's my you know, specialty
forty seven layer dip. As we move forward, so we'll
see how many more teams can get involved in that.
(30:40):
I mean, you got Jonas Valentunis debating whether he wants
to play in the NBA anymore. So, I mean that's
one of the stories that took over today. So you
have all of that. I mean, the original trade down
to Orlando might have been the big thing, but I
mean that was a trade, right, the Kevin Durant to Houston,
whatever that ends up being, you're making a big bet.
(31:03):
Now a lot of stuff falls out of that, and
you know it remains to be seen. Uh who's left standing?
But yeah, I get I get your point. Waiting on
more buyouts, waiting on more I mean, I think to me,
the Dame Lillard one is really it. H In terms
of singular things. Miles Turner going there afterwards is great,
but hey, here's a hundred twenty one hundred and twelve
(31:25):
hundred and fifteen million dollars, go rehab somewhere else, have fun,
congratulations on a job done. We decided we didn't want
to be together anymore, and away you go, and he
gets to keep all that money and then once yeah, yeah,
like he's now the guy that you put a picture
on your wall. I want to beat that guy a
lot of money to go away and I can do
what I want.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I mean, just think, think about the guys that we're
gonna start hearing about now over the course of the
next week plus, right, Joannis Lebron maybe right, mcal Bridges,
Karl Anthony Towns, Jalen Brown, Zion Jaw. It's an electric
time where anything can happen and teams are gonna hey. Like,
(32:09):
for instance, John Morans, he had to address all the
rumors that he could be on his way. I don't
want to leave if I want to stay here, but hey, Memphis,
good they traded Desmond Bane. They might say we're done
with this roller coaster ride. We're moving on to somebody else,
and we're gonna you know, we got as close as
we are to the top with you, we can't trust
that we can do that again. And somebody else a
fresh start somewhere. Maybe that's what John Morant needs. Like
(32:30):
this trade season is really what everybody should be looking
forward to. Like this was the free agency was the appetizer.
Now we're gonna get to the main meal. That's what's
the other is the best.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Everybody's trying to fight with Shams at the top of
the uh, you know, top of the mountain, right and
and he's just picking off things and he decides when
he's gonna, I'm not gonna tip picks. It's just not
fair to the rest of the world and all of that.
So everybody else is clamoring, which means you got a
lot of beat writers probably pounding the pavement a lot
harder than they have in years, because like the national
(33:01):
guy's just gonna scoop it anyway, and the hell with it.
Now you're like, I can make my name. I can
go fill that void. You know, WOJE is over there
trying to get in an IL deal together. I'm here now.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. And Martin. Wise, Martin, what do you
got for tonight? My friend?
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Congratulations to the Mets. How about that?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Oh, we're back, We're back. Now, we're back.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Nothing, we're back about two to three over the Brewers.
How about that? That was impressive. Those free agency moves you
were talking about.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
I guess one year deal to bring back Jackson Hayes
to the Lakers did not make the top headlines for
you guys, but it did happen today.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Apparently would have been if he played in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well there you go.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
You know, so, now they have two guys that won't
play a big playoff minus DeAndre eight and then Jackson Hayes.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Now we got two guys that aren't going to play
in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Hey, hey, hey, but if Lebron can get Luca into
the best shape of his life, he can't.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
Oh wait, I'll leave you guys alone after this one,
because this I just saw this come across Max Month's seat.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
It was a bone bruise yesterday. Six weeks.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Does it change your opinion now knowing that it's not
that it was something a little you're gonna miss six
weeks that's pretty significant. I know you missed three thousand strikeouts,
which is probably more significant.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
But I know, man, I'm still so upset about that.
I got over upside as soon as they started chirping
in the post. Why is he stealing because he wants
to beat your ass? Shut up?
Speaker 5 (34:26):
All right, that's great, I got over. That's hilarious, all right.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Top of the tenth inning, the Guardians and the Cubs scoreless.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Still.
Speaker 6 (34:35):
Guardians starting pitchering Luis Ortiz been placed on paid leave
after and that Baseball.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Investigation into gambling.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
A betting integrity firm flag the two individual pictures for
Mortiz on June fifteenth and June twenty seventh. The top
of the fifth inning, the Giants lead the Diamondbacks for
it and I think scoreless in for Kansas City and Seattle.
Top of the third inning, the Dodgers lead the White
Sox once to nothing. In the b of the second
National James National slugger in James Wood was five for
(35:04):
five today as the Nationals beat the Tigers eleven to seven.
He had his twenty third home run. He also announced
that he will be participating in the home run Derby.
So busy day for him at Wimbledon on the men's side.
Ten seed Ben Shelton has won the first two sets
in the second round match up five to four. In
the third set of plays suspended right now due to darkness.
(35:25):
Novak Djokovic advance into the third round for a record
nineteenth time. Dallas Mavericks' sister Jared Dudley finalizing a deal
to become the top assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets

gm omarkh On to a three year deal that'll keep
him with the team through at least twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
Back to you, guys, thanks so much more, appreciate it.
My friend The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Carmon. So coming up next. You want a football story? Wait,
wait a minute, Wait a minute, but it's a July
third what big fight? You want a big foot ball story?
We got it for you next Jason and Mike Fox
Sports Radio.

The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon.
For over forty years, Tirack's been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive. Shipped
fast and free backed by free Road, has protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack dot
Com is the way tire buying should be. Well, yes,
it's July third, we're going into a holiday. Doesn't mean
(36:33):
there's not big fun NFL news. According to a couple
of insiderally the athletic of being one of them right now,
the favorite to win the starting job at quarterback in Cleveland,
Cleveland is the last guy you think would be the favorite.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Eric is it my guy?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
The Kenny Pickett inside track. One of the reasons is
because he can execute the plays, plus the fact that
he is more mobile and can make plays with his
legs better than anybody else. This puts him in the
driver's seat to be the starting quarterback.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Right, So a super goal champion Kennyett.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, he learned a lot sitting behind Jalen Hurts last year.
So of all the guys, okay, well, we drafted a
guy in the third round Dylan Gabriel, No, not him,
Shador Sanders That no, probably not Joe Flacco who brought
up to the planet no, apparently it's Kenny Pickett. I'll
tell you this, If Kenny Pickett winds up winning this job,
(37:39):
that could doom Shadoor Sanders.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Well, we're also gonna buy jerseys of him in celebrated
damn snappy takes. Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (37:47):
This could absolutely doom Shador Sanders because right now, if
he can't beat out Kenny Pickett, right, like, I get
not beating out Joe Flacco because hey, Flacco's done some
things there, he's fromiliar with the offense, he brought him
to the playoffs, He's gonna start until Shador Sanders is ready. Like, Okay,
I got you can't beat out job, but you need
to be that next guy, right you need to be
(38:08):
like Okay, if something happens, this is who you know,
you're coming to me. But now Kenny Pickett, who really
again is the fourth guy in this Like if you're
schaduor Sanders right now, like this is huge. I'm saying,
I really think I might have to go to the
CFL because there's been some big stuff the last few
days at ay his his negotiating rights, and Shador Sanders
(38:30):
CFL might be a place he needs to go to.
Prove himself like that, that really might be the next
place we see him play, because if he's falling behind
and Kenny Pickett's in the lead, and you know Flacco's
gonna be, then what kind of spot is there really
for Shadoor Sanders. Now, maybe it's he's not progressing, but
he looks good in seven on seven is what we've seen.
Maybe it's the off the field stuff and the and
(38:51):
the speeding, which is a really bad optic. We told
you that was a bad optic. It gives the Browns
a reason to say no. But man, if Kenny Pickett
continues to run number one quarterback, this has so many
ramifications for Sanders. It could be the CFL and then
he's got to do that to get back to the
NFL with another team. This is a really big development.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
I like the chaos theory that goes to it. And
this also would point to maybe Pittsburgh didn't know what
the hell they were doing on a whole other level
right twentieth overall, pick not that he ever really flashed
to where he was going to be great very short
leash before they moved a hunt from him, So whatever
in the building. But since Ben Roethlisberger and the two
(39:32):
years before that. We've talked about it a lot. They
haven't really done anybody that's come into that position a
good service. Now you go to a guy in Stefanski
who actually knows a thing or two. Yeah, and Shador
I was told he was brilliant and all these other drills.
That's great. People are checking those boxes. There's a lot
more that goes into it than you know, run around
(39:54):
in T shirts and shorts. So for Kenny Pickett, good
for him if he's able to reclaim what he once was.
I mean, because that's a short twenty twenty two when
he was picked. Jason, it hain'te that far. I know long,
I know, and look Gino it took him a decade.
Kenny Pickett might have gotten there fast.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
I'm telling you, man, this could be Shador Sanders in
this CFL. You might see that this summer like how.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Crazy is that?
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Wo Man? More NFL. But coming up next, maybe the
hottest basketball take of the summer so far, because you
know it's gonna be asked in the next twenty four hours.
What is it? We'll tell you next

I don't know that they There's a lot of smoking
going on. You live in California, so it's it's a
different world. Go back to the Midwest, Go walk around,
Go walk around to downtown area and tell me you're
you're not walking into a lot of.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Plumes of smoke. Yeah, but no, but doesn't don't most
people vape? Now? Is it like smoking? Just like for
the old school smokers, like the pay there's.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Still a lot of them out there body and they
can't retire the cost of living. I mean, it has
has kept them in the workforce, which means more smoke.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I just I just I just know that. I'm like,
I know, I haven't seen people no, even like I
go back to Detroit because you think, okay, well you
go back to Trout, you'll see people smoking. Like even
when I go back there for vacation, like, I don't
see as many people smoke as I used to. It's weird.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
You just blew the minds of a lot of people
right there. Even want to go back to Detroit, I'm vacation.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well yeah, well because look there's lots of casinos in Detroit, right,
so obviously, I mean, if you're gambling, okay, chances are hey,
you'll be smoking too, because I'll man, I'm kind of nervous.
You're on the so you would think there would be that,
but I just I just don't see.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
But for some folks, the the cigarettes calm down. Yeah no,
I mean right, I mean it's yang thing right of
the you're agitated, but now you got a fixation.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
There, so there you gonna make that jump.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
And you start thinking about the meaning of life as
you stand there staring at the stars and hearing people
scream about about what they just lost, or maybe there's
a fight at the poker table. I don't know, there's
a lot going on.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
You talk a lot about the meaning of How often
do you do you think about the meaning of life
like you every day? That phrase life really? Oh yeah,
that sounds exhausting.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
No, not really. It's it's usually when I'm out walking
the dog and and you know, I'm happy, I'm in
a good space, and it's just like, all right, why
are we here? See that's just when I'm in this
moment walking the dog right now.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
See, when I take the dog for walk is when
I think, Okay, what are the Mets needs? Who do
they need to bring up? Because obviously okay Blackburn's on
the alisle now and none, but he never really came back.
What should they? Should Sproke come up? Should they? You know,
Tidwell should be back up and singing? Like That's what
I think of when I go walk the dog.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Tid Well got his extension from the Cardinals. Leave him alone, okay.
Before he passed, Glenn pry took care of him.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I'm just okay, I'm just I introduced you to your wife.
Oh come on, Jerry, that is not fair.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
You're gonna pay.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
But today, just to start with this before before we
get to the big event tomorrow. Today is the fortieth
anniversary of what we have talked about in the last week.
The best movie of the modern era of film, which
begins with Jaws in nineteen seventy five. That began the
modern era of movies. We have pre nineteen seventy five Jaws,
which celebrated fiftieth anniversary today. Back to the future turns forty.
(04:18):
We're bringing this up again.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
You're going back to that greatest thing You've been trying
to because it's fun.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I'm not trying to I'm telling you it's forty. It's
not the truth. I'm telling you categorically false. What do
you mean categorically? How could you say categorically false? Did
you have time on many of your dogwalks Meaning of
Life to to to think about what the best movie
of the and come around to Mike, there was there
is blood there There was really that's on no one's list,
(04:45):
that's on absence, there will be.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Blood is a top ten movie on all time lists.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
There's no way, yeah, on a list of movies where
the word blood is in the title. And also there
will be that is in the top ten one hundred percent.
You're out of your mind, or as my mom would
call that movie, dig we must I go, I said,
what what dig we must? That movie Daniel day Lewis.
There's another movie with Daniel Lewis now, the one where
(05:10):
he comes and he's he's it's the oil. I said,
you mean there will be blood. Where did you get
dig we Must from shooes? I thought that was the
name of the movie. I'm like, that's not even close
to what the name of the movie was. So that
movie in our house for a long time was dig
we Must, And still when we talk about it is
it is sometimes dig we Must.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
That is kind of interesting. It's almost like it's mashed
with you know, a New Hope which people love, you know, apocalypse.
Now you know you've got other Dark Dark, Dark Knight.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Dark Knight really better than Bad the Future, Wow.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Even though Jack Nicholson was a better joker than Heath Ledger, but.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So it got so it's somehow better than another movie
where a guy was better in the big starring role.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Now that Batman Knight eighty nine was a fantastic movie. Dark,
it was really good. Hits all the notes.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
That's okkay. But I mean I'm just saying like, hey,
you think you'd get everything great from everywhere, but okay,
you have a movie.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Where I'm not saying Heath Ledger was was any slouch.
I mean he was given an award for his performance
by by others.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Hey listen, never sell anyone short because they can always
be a tremendous louch. So back to the Future turns
forty Mike Harmon on the Meaning of Life, and tomorrow
Joey Chestnut makes his triumphant return to the Nathan's Hot
Dog Eating Contest once again. You can watch the Nathan's
Hot Dog Eating Contest and I'll tell you what it
has to do with NBA Free Agency in a couple
(06:38):
of minutes. But I will tell you this right off
the bat, since today's been a big day for gambling
because apparently, you know, everybody's getting investigated for pitches that
are thrown or dunks that are made, and you know, hey,
turn out.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
General Outlaw Daily Fantasy. Here in California, it's the Wild West.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
I will say this, I don't know what the odds are,
but because I know you will, you'll be able to
tell me in like four seconds. But chess Nuts got
the record for seventy six hot dogs, right. And we
spent today going through all the different records that are
out there for competitive and some of the stuff. I'm like,
you've just got to be kidding me, Like I think
the record I think Matt Stoney has the record for
peeps in eight minutes by eating two hundred and fifty five.
(07:19):
I'm like, how can you eat two hundred and fifty
five peeps in six minutes? Like how is that you?
I mean, I get the hot dog thing because I
watch it, but stuff like that, like you know, yeah,
two hundred and fifty five peeps in six minutes, Like
I can't believe that, But it's on the Major League
Eating website. Here's all the records, and that's one of them.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Well, but that's the beauty of it is there's so
many of these contests that are absolutely insane, including eating
hot dogs. My god, I et about four become accept.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
That's become acceptable now, you know, Like I ain't the
hot dog the hot dog eating CODs Okay, it's oh yeah,
but I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Tell you that he's what is it? It is? He's one
to twenty.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Toll of course, because he wins every year by like
thirty odds.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
About ninety six percent.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Eh.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So you're saying there's a chance almost like there's a
you know, you went back to your your Clayton Kershaw
eleven to one, and you were mad that immaculate Lenning.
It's like it should be like a million to one,
it should be five hundred to one. Should have been here,
here's one where Joey Chestnut. This is almost like begging you.
It's like he's gonna be out of shape man, like
he took last year off. He was eating those vegan things.
(08:30):
It's like, there's no way he's ready for this man.
Bernoletti plus sixteen hundred esper plus twenty two hundred web
plus twenty five hundred.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I'm gonna tell you this, it's been a year away.
He's mad, he's motivated. Now he's back. He wants to
announce his presence again with authority. I would go I
would go over eighty hot dogs for Joey chestnutt he's
got the record at seventy six, right, and clearly a
lot of the records that he said have been a
few years ago, us breaking down competitive eating. This is
(09:01):
so much fun to eat. But if seventy six is
the record I got, he wants to hit eighty tomorrow
and say I am back and never think about having
this without me. Again and put me in all the
kind of stuff you want to say. I would take
over eighty hot dogs for Joey chest That's wrong. What
are the odds on that?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Was Vegas?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Is Vegas short? Me on those odds too. Oh, it's
only four in the water. It's only three to one?
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I am what are the walking on that? As we speak? Hold? Please?
Speaker 1 (09:29):
You know you need to wear you need to wear
Advisor when when we do gambling stuff like, okay, I
think it might help you know, you know, focus a
little bit, you know, if you wear a visor, then okay,
I'm in I'm in Mike Harmon gambling mode right now.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
Yeah, because I've got let's see hot dogs eaten by
Joey Chestnut. The over under is only seventy one and
a half. Wow. Wow, So over is minus one oh five.
Under is minus one thirty five. And I'll tell you
why ready. It's because last year as the to be
the champion, Bertoletti only eight fifty eight.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah, they come on.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
That's which means which means Chestnut unless he's really to
your mind of I want to show people, you know,
and leave no doubt who's the greatest of all time? Yeah,
come on gastro. Now I'm making delights and watching my
stomach balloon. He's not gonna need more than say sixty
to beat Berto Lettie this year. So but how much
(10:28):
does he need that huge margin of error? Because think
about it, that guy won in his ten minutes, he
was still eighteen short of the record.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
Yeah, but this is what goats do. They're not motivated by,
you know, by by who they're playing it. They're motivated
by history. They're motivated by what can get motivated by
the sheep. Yeah, it's it's it's I'm not motivated by
the people I'm playing against him. I'm motivated by history,
what I can accomplist. It's me against It's like in
Rocky four when Rocky says to Apollo, says, you ever
think sometimes it's just you against you? I mean that's that,
(11:00):
That's what most think.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
It's me. Hey, it's me against me. What can I do?
Eighty hot dogs? I would say I would go over
eighty hot dogs tomorrow. I bet you there's money to
be made there. I'm not sure, but because everywhere I've looked,
because I thought you would find, because you're the expert
on ever I've looked at keep telling me that, yeah,
some books will take odds on over eighty hot dogs,
but there's not like readily available. So I wonder if
the odds are really low and there's money to be made.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Well, I'm looking for prop bets here. The over hot
dogs eating by the winner over seventy one and a
half is minus one ten special to win the contest
by at least twenty five hot dogs is fifteen to one.
By twenty or more, it's plus four point fifty. I
want me to keep going.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Okay, get it.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
And then you've got a bunch of you know, head
to head competitions, a web versus Chestnut, Web versus versus
chest Now you got. The women's contest has a bunch
of prop bets as all. As well. You can get
ten to one on both the men's over seventy six
and women's over fifty one to be broken tomorrow for
(12:06):
the records for Chestnut and Pseudo to combine to eat
at least one hundred and twenty hot dogs, just plus
one fifteen.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Okay, all right, all right, all right, I still like
my ass. I want to find out why the eighty
is so difficult to find but I get maybe there's
money there.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
Maybe well, but I think that becomes the all the
money the over under got said at seventy one and
a half, and that becomes a you contact your book
and especially if you have a relationship, like we've talked
with our buddy Todd Furman lo these many years, you
got that information like how many times did he say,
I'll I'll give you whatever a hud you want? He
used to do work for Caesar's doing that. If you
(12:43):
have a relationship, you could probably get them to make
a custom bet for you. Hey, kay, what line do
you give me at eighty? Like you know, you can
just need to start traveling to Vegas a little bit,
establish a rapport, hang out with the smokers outside. It's
a full circle, and then you have your opportunity to say, hey,
I'm looking at this hot dog contest. Hey, what kind
(13:04):
of odds you give me that he tops eighty eighty eighty?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Now here's the thing, and here's why it's great that
we have the fourth of July Hot Doggeting Contest book
ending the week that began with NBA Free Agency. Right,
all all the tu so far, NBS so far, NBA
Free agency has been okay, right, Like, I'm not following
all the ESPN and NBA hype all the fast and
frenzied signings. The biggest person to change teams was Miles Turner.
(13:34):
Understand that that's not a frenzy, that that's okay. Yeah,
there's a lot of signings, but when you talk about
big things that are going on, yeah, so I can't
really say it's a frenzy. It's more this is what
free agency has been, right, it's been an okay start
to free age. Yes, there's big money being doled out,
but mainly it was it was teams keeping their guys,
(13:54):
which is, hey, what Adam Silver and what the NBA want.
We want to make sure the teams are able to
keep their players. Right. You saw big extensions James Harden
and we watch Shake Gilders Alexander become the highest paid
player in NBA history. So yes, it's how it goes.
But it's just been an okay week, right, Like it
hasn't been unbelievable, And it's kind of like hey, the
hot dog eating contest. Some years there's Joey Chestnut, right,
(14:17):
some years Lebron is out there and you have other
big trades and Chris Paul wants to get dealt and
David Stern is saying basketball reasons, and some years it's okay,
it's Miles Turner, Like Miles Turner is last year for
the hot dog eating contest, but now we got Joey
Chestnut backing. Now suddenly, hey, it's a much bigger deal,
right the hot dog eating contests. Wow, it's hot dog
eating contest. Whereas last year is, oh yeah, maybe I'll
(14:40):
watch all oh how many he eat? He missed it
by twenty Yeah, I don't even care. Like that's kind
of what this NBA range. But now the best part
is coming up when the trade season really hits. That's
going to be something because there's big names going to
be available, which we'll get to that in a few minutes,
but right now, it's like, okay, this is kind of
what free agency is. When you don't have the big names.
(15:00):
You can't dress it up and sit here and tell
me that it's what a seismic move Miles Turner is
to the Bucks. I'm like, okay, let's just let's just
understand Miles Turner trade changing teams is not Lebron.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You know, meeting with teams and and Don Nelson and
you know, being wheeled in with a broken foot to
try to woo him to come to the Knicks and
everybody going to visit Lebron like this is not that. Okay,
it's a it's a the NBA fragency is a nod
Joey Chestnut hot dog gear.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Now here's a couple of things to it. Number One,
last year, he battled Kobayashi in that away from the
Nathans competition. He ate eighty three hot dogs, absolutely dusted
Kobayashi by a full fifteen to claim victory as they
hadn't gone against each other in what fourteen years or
something like that. Okay, fine, now he comes back, so
(15:52):
again you're over under proposition that we throw through. But
I also have one word that made define the next
couple of weeks in the NBA and team in Texas.
Uh kind of had it out there. It's something we've
circled him around as we've talked about. Uh, that Lebron guy,
and that's buyout that will help to fire.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Tell you what to happen to with Dame Lillard?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Right Hey, huh, let's all clap bands and go away.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Man a bunch of teams. I think behind the scenes
are going, hey, can we do that?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
The the the Jerry McGuire ending, why don't we have
that relationship?
Speaker 1 (16:28):
And they tried to hug.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Yeah, it gets all weird.
Speaker 1 (16:32):

Sports Radio videos on YouTube. And today, you sent me
(18:08):
the text this morning when it happened, I couldn't believe
when I saw it, the death of Michael Madson, one
of the greatest, most prolific actors Hollywood has ever seen,
at the age of sixty seven earlier today, and social
media has been everywhere today with all of his roles,
and it was amazing to see people. Of course, they're
gonna jump on Reservoir Dogs and kill Bill. But you know,
(18:30):
seeing people talk about, hey, I really loved him in
Free Willy and I'm gonna go watch Free Willie now
again because he was he was a good guy and
and just you realize that he had so many incredible roles.
I'll go back, like, look, we'll get to Reservoir Dogs
in a second, just because it was such a big deal.
But I go back. I remember seeing him for the
first time in the Natural and you know, and he
was bumped Bailey and thinking, boy, this guy like I met,
(18:54):
got under my skin. I didn't like him, and you know,
I'm a teenager watching movie and I realizing, oh, this
is this is someone doing a fantastic job as an
actor because he absolutely embodies he's the star and and
and he's the guy that obviously he has a he
has a different standing with the team because he's helping
them to fix games, and he's he's well dressed, and
(19:16):
he's got the girlfriend, and he's very dismissive of other people.
And you know, it was just an incredible I mean,
that's the first thing I ever saw him in when
I was a teenager, thinking wow, he was so good
and then that's who he was the rest of his career,
you know, And and we can we could talk about
all these movies like Donnie Braska was one of the
most underrated movies ever. The amount of incredible performances in
(19:38):
that movie, whether it's Paccino so understated and Michael Madsen
is Sonny Black, but you know, you get you get
that Reservoir Dog scene that has been getting a lot
of play today, the stuck in the middle with you
scene where he and Marvin Nash have a little bit
of an interaction. I'll just say, for anybody who hasn't
seen a little bit, yeah, and uh, you know, it's
it's an entire career you can see in that scene
(20:03):
because he is so unbelievably terrifying just in those three minutes,
like he's he's fan. That's I mean, Look, the movie
that launch Quentin Tarantino's career is Reservoir Dogs, and that
scene really you could say is responsible for for a
lot of it, because it's what everybody keeps going back to.
It's one of the most iconic scenes in the history
of film. And and he's absolutely I keep going, he's
(20:24):
absolutely terrifying. And that's what he brought to so many
roles is that he was so always, so unpredictable. You
never knew when he was on camera, Hey, the scene
could go this way, it could go this way. You're
kind of on edge and I'm watching him going, Okay,
what's gonna happen here? And you know that's where everything
just you know, for his whole career comes together. And
he's not really gonna do that? Is he? Yes?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
He is?
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And then not only does he do it, he basks
in the glow of it after is Marvin Natch is
just sitting there and he's moving his head and it's
just what did I just watch? I mean that that's
such an iconic scene. It really, It's not many people
could pull something like that off and be charismatic while
at the same time being so terrifying. And that was
(21:07):
Michael Matts. And I'm so glad that that was getting
most of the attention today out of everything for him.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, I mean, so many of those roles, it's it's
that same calm demeanor while being absolutely dastardly go go
all the way through his run of roles. Talk about
kill Bill uh, the scene that with Karenine or he's
sitting there going, hey, she's coming. He's like, yeah, we
all deserve to die.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
It's just measured.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
And cold, and he's got these piercing eyes and it's like, oh,
there's the innocence, but you see the darkness just beyond,
Just like that scene with good old Marvin Nash. Still
kind of funny, that one of those very uncomfortable moments
in a movie theater where folks kind of are chuckling along,
like Okay, what's he gonna do.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
He's just dancing with the knife in his hand.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
And he's yeah, it's it's just you know, one of
those you know, And it's a movie that that I
don't know. It was in my house. It was big
because there was a million quotable lines from him and
Tell and and all the way on down the line,
go back to the initial diner scene and everything Lawrence
Tierney uh getting after it. But for for Michael Madson,
(22:21):
I mean, you think about some of the other stuff
you talked about Donnie Brasco, you look at Wyatt erp
Sin City, and just keep going on down the line.
There's just so many, so many iconic roles. And you know,
my daughter asked me as stuff started scrolling and she
recognized a few of the movie titles and like, he's
just that guy that you know, if you if you
(22:42):
needed an actor that that you you found him. If
he was in a good space and he had time
on the calendar, it's like, yeah, let's get him in
Mulholland Falls. He did, Like.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I mean, like you know, not all of them are
gonna be great, but he found like that one a year.
That boy that's really good. Boy, he's really good. But
that's just it.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Right, Hey bring him in for a day or two
to do one or two scenes and he'd come in
and kill it and give you the complete tone of
the movie. Right. He showed up in Once upon a
Time in Hollywood as one of his final roles. So,
I mean, there's there's stuff all over the place, and
and folks will go back into the filmography, but Matt's
one hell of a thirty plus year run.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
You know. The thing is, we were talking about it to say.
We went to have lunch and we were waiting in
line to go at a at a burger place near
uh near our house, and we were probably about five
or six five or six feet away from the from
the cash register and we're talking about it and Zoe
hasn't seen Reservoir Dogs yet, and we shee says other stuff.
I said, oh my god, this scene because we were
talking about stuck in the middle and everything else. And
(23:43):
so when when the the the server says okay, you
know next, I go, okay, great, and I start kind
of walking up like like Michael Matts. And when he's
down at the beginning, and I'm kind of shuffling and
bouncing back and and and and the server goes, where's
your knife? I was like, oh, okay.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Okay, well, that guy's angling for a big tip.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
I'm hoping nobody like in the kitchen. God, you just
ask a customer where his knife was. What the hell
was that?
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Like?
Speaker 1 (24:07):
You know, but she got what I was done. I'm
just doing the I'm doing the whole And the song
wasn't even playing, and I like the song was even playing.
I'm just I'm just doing the dance walking up. I
kind of been shuffling all day like Michael Madsen.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
It was dancing in everybody's head all day long. You know.
That's also one of the doors good role. Yeah, and
today's the anniversary of Morrison's death, which is weird that
they're forever connected. Nineteen ninety one, he was also in
Thelma and Louise. Oh yeah, you want to talk about
a killer year for him? He had two two monster hits,
and then ninety two is Reservoir Dogs.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
You know, and you think, you know what this happens
a lot with songs, right, is that there's certain songs
that are big hits, and there's certain songs that, because
they're so identifiable, when you hear them, you think of
the movies. You don't think of anything else. You don't
think of a time in your life where, oh, this
reminds me when I was in high school, when I
was a sor this reminds me, and when I was
(24:59):
on my first state with my wife, this ride. There's
some songs that just take you. All you can think
of is the movie, right all either And like when
I hear Leayla Now, every time I hear the Bridge
of Laila, I I don't think of the song. You
think of of of all the and goodfellas, everybody getting killed, right,
you know, DeNiro killing Everybody's discovery e Yeah, all the
discoveries when they when when he was Frozen So Solid
(25:21):
took him two weeks to do the aud.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
Time Franky Carbone.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
But even though that, there is nothing that stops me
and makes me think of it more than when I
hear Stuck in the Middle with You. I never I
think of nothing else other than that movie. And I
think about the movie and and things about it and
what I like, and there's there's I can't I I
was trying to think today, is there another song that
I hear that says Nope, that's that movie song, that's
that movie song. But stuck in the Middle with you.
(25:46):
Every time you hear that bit, and then even when
I hear ryl Crow, all I want to do because
you know, that's kind of lifted right from Stuck in
the Middle with You. Uh, you know, I think the
same thing. I'm like a and I'm thinking about Reservoir
Dogs from a movie where a where where a riff
was lifted from in the middle with you like that,
like right away, boom. That's all I think about is that.
And the song ends and you know, I'm dancing along
(26:06):
to it, and it's it's it's a four minute think
about that movie and that scene. And Michael Mattson every
time I hear that song.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Yeah, otherwise you're looking at a bunch that are really
just you know, it's right on the nose, you know,
like Shaft the anniversary of earlier this week, or Frankie
Valley with Grease, you know in Greece.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Yeah, well that songs that were made for that movie.
They were obviously this is a song that came out
in the seventies.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
That that that Oh I got I got one that
maybe worse. You know. Go ahead, when you when you
hear Glory of Love by Peter Satara, what do you think?
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay, not that they play that that often on the radio,
but okay, sure, I'll give you a glory of Love.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Even though it was the Karate Kid too, and not
actually the first, but you just say Karate Kid.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
I remember, I remember the first time when I turned
to my best friend in the car when it came
on the radio, like this time in the late nineties,
and I just go. Joe Egan and Jerry Rafferty were
duo known as Steeler's Wheel when they recorded this pop
dylanesque bubblegum favorite in April of nineteen seventy four as
k Billy Super Sounds of the seventies, continues. He looked
(27:20):
at me and he goes, what the hell was that?
What the what the hell? What the hell was the
how you.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Can either people are on your side or now they're
freaked out a little bit and a little so.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
I said, ah, it's a reservoir dogs like But I
said it like so serious because I'm trying to channel
Steven right, Joe Eagan and Jerry Raverie. Uh so, yes,
rest in peace, Michael mattson an incredible, incredible career. Now, look,
there's there's some big stuff to get to NBA wise tonight. Right,
we have the first week of free agency down and
certain teams achieving doing things. But I want to say
(27:53):
this because you know, I've seen a lot of Hey,
what are moves we've seen so far in free agency
that people like the most? What move to people hate
the most? Right now, there's a couple I really don't like,
which we'll get to. But why I see, Oh I
really like this. I really like Miles Turner's Like, Okay,
I feel honestly, the right answer for the move that
(28:14):
has been the best that they like the most so far,
the right answer is it hasn't happened. Yet there's not
been one move. There's not been one move so far
that by itself vaults a team. So far, now, there
have been moves where, hey, this team, by by doing
these couple of things, they have done something. They have
done something great, but nothing to say all of a sudden, Wow,
(28:35):
they're vaulted. They're gonna be a top three team in
that in the Eastern Conference, right, Like hey, Atlanta made
some nice one, They're gonna be a top three team
all of a sudden, come on, right. But that's why
I think the biggest thing is still to come. The
best free agent move or the best it's still coming.
No one's gone over the top like Atlanta's Floury was
lower level free agent move so far, maybe to entice Giannis,
(28:57):
which would then make it into something bigger. But that's
kind of what I'm waiting for. We haven't seen the
big move yet. There's been some rearranging, and that's why
I think the trade season we're gonna get now is
gonna be off the hook, because no longer do team say,
all right, we're gonna make moves the beginning of free
agency and try to put our team together. They want
(29:17):
to put there because there's so much to be known
with them not known with the money and the salaries. Now,
that's so difficult that teams have taken a different strategy
and now it's okay, we're gonna go through free agency first,
and then we're really gonna trade. Like, if there's a
couple of minor trades happen, we can do that, but
if we're looking to make a big splash, we kind
of have to get our ducks in a row. Would
(29:37):
acquire whatever expiring contracts we want to sign whatever players
in free agency. So we're building here and then when
other teams can see the landscape more fully and stars
can understand, Okay, this is what Team X is trying
to do. Yes, I would you can trade me to
that team because I see what their strategy is. Because
sometimes you just need a week or two for a
(29:58):
player to say, yeah, would I want to go? Why
would I want to go to Atlanta? Who knows what
the hell they're doing now? Suddenly, oh wait, Atlanta's making
some nice under the radar moves. Oh that's something that hey,
I'm in for that. Gianni says, I want to go
to Atlanta, Like this is now going to be the
really fun part of the NBA offseason because now we're
getting away from the NBA free agency and getting to
the trade season.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yeah, obviously we still have the curiosity of whatever that
seven team thing, like a seven layer dip that keeps growing. Hey,
throw some of that on there too. Does that count
as an ingredient? Yeah, now it's my you know, specialty
forty seven layer dip. As we move forward, so we'll
see how many more teams can get involved in that.
(30:40):
I mean, you got Jonas Valentunis debating whether he wants
to play in the NBA anymore. So, I mean that's
one of the stories that took over today. So you
have all of that. I mean, the original trade down
to Orlando might have been the big thing, but I
mean that was a trade, right, the Kevin Durant to Houston,
whatever that ends up being, you're making a big bet.
(31:03):
Now a lot of stuff falls out of that, and
you know it remains to be seen. Uh who's left standing?
But yeah, I get I get your point. Waiting on
more buyouts, waiting on more I mean, I think to me,
the Dame Lillard one is really it. H In terms
of singular things. Miles Turner going there afterwards is great,
but hey, here's a hundred twenty one hundred and twelve
(31:25):
hundred and fifteen million dollars, go rehab somewhere else, have fun,
congratulations on a job done. We decided we didn't want
to be together anymore, and away you go, and he
gets to keep all that money and then once yeah, yeah,
like he's now the guy that you put a picture
on your wall. I want to beat that guy a
lot of money to go away and I can do
what I want.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
I mean, just think, think about the guys that we're
gonna start hearing about now over the course of the
next week plus, right, Joannis Lebron maybe right, mcal Bridges,
Karl Anthony Towns, Jalen Brown, Zion Jaw. It's an electric
time where anything can happen and teams are gonna hey. Like,
(32:09):
for instance, John Morans, he had to address all the
rumors that he could be on his way. I don't
want to leave if I want to stay here, but hey, Memphis,
good they traded Desmond Bane. They might say we're done
with this roller coaster ride. We're moving on to somebody else,
and we're gonna you know, we got as close as
we are to the top with you, we can't trust
that we can do that again. And somebody else a
fresh start somewhere. Maybe that's what John Morant needs. Like
(32:30):
this trade season is really what everybody should be looking
forward to. Like this was the free agency was the appetizer.
Now we're gonna get to the main meal. That's what's
the other is the best.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Everybody's trying to fight with Shams at the top of
the uh, you know, top of the mountain, right and
and he's just picking off things and he decides when
he's gonna, I'm not gonna tip picks. It's just not
fair to the rest of the world and all of that.
So everybody else is clamoring, which means you got a
lot of beat writers probably pounding the pavement a lot
harder than they have in years, because like the national
(33:01):
guy's just gonna scoop it anyway, and the hell with it.
Now you're like, I can make my name. I can
go fill that void. You know, WOJE is over there
trying to get in an IL deal together. I'm here now.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. And Martin. Wise, Martin, what do you
got for tonight? My friend?
Speaker 5 (33:19):
Congratulations to the Mets. How about that?
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Oh, we're back, We're back. Now, we're back.
Speaker 5 (33:24):
Nothing, we're back about two to three over the Brewers.
How about that? That was impressive. Those free agency moves you
were talking about.
Speaker 6 (33:30):
I guess one year deal to bring back Jackson Hayes
to the Lakers did not make the top headlines for
you guys, but it did happen today.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
Apparently would have been if he played in the playoffs.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well there you go.
Speaker 6 (33:41):
You know, so, now they have two guys that won't
play a big playoff minus DeAndre eight and then Jackson Hayes.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Now we got two guys that aren't going to play
in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Hey, hey, hey, but if Lebron can get Luca into
the best shape of his life, he can't.
Speaker 6 (33:55):
Oh wait, I'll leave you guys alone after this one,
because this I just saw this come across Max Month's seat.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
It was a bone bruise yesterday. Six weeks.
Speaker 6 (34:04):
Does it change your opinion now knowing that it's not
that it was something a little you're gonna miss six
weeks that's pretty significant. I know you missed three thousand strikeouts,
which is probably more significant.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
But I know, man, I'm still so upset about that.
I got over upside as soon as they started chirping
in the post. Why is he stealing because he wants
to beat your ass? Shut up?
Speaker 5 (34:26):
All right, that's great, I got over. That's hilarious, all right.
Speaker 6 (34:31):
Top of the tenth inning, the Guardians and the Cubs scoreless.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Still.
Speaker 6 (34:35):
Guardians starting pitchering Luis Ortiz been placed on paid leave
after and that Baseball.
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Investigation into gambling.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
A betting integrity firm flag the two individual pictures for
Mortiz on June fifteenth and June twenty seventh. The top
of the fifth inning, the Giants lead the Diamondbacks for
it and I think scoreless in for Kansas City and Seattle.
Top of the third inning, the Dodgers lead the White
Sox once to nothing. In the b of the second
National James National slugger in James Wood was five for
(35:04):
five today as the Nationals beat the Tigers eleven to seven.
He had his twenty third home run. He also announced
that he will be participating in the home run Derby.
So busy day for him at Wimbledon on the men's side.
Ten seed Ben Shelton has won the first two sets
in the second round match up five to four. In
the third set of plays suspended right now due to darkness.
(35:25):

For over forty years, Tirack's been helping customers find the

convenient installation options like mobile tire installation. Tire rack dot
Com is the way tire buying should be. Well, yes,
it's July third, we're going into a holiday. Doesn't mean
(36:33):
there's not big fun NFL news. According to a couple
of insiderally the athletic of being one of them right now,
the favorite to win the starting job at quarterback in Cleveland,
Cleveland is the last guy you think would be the favorite.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Eric is it my guy?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
The Kenny Pickett inside track. One of the reasons is
because he can execute the plays, plus the fact that
he is more mobile and can make plays with his
legs better than anybody else. This puts him in the
driver's seat to be the starting quarterback.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Right, So a super goal champion Kennyett.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Yeah, he learned a lot sitting behind Jalen Hurts last year.
So of all the guys, okay, well, we drafted a
guy in the third round Dylan Gabriel, No, not him,
Shador Sanders That no, probably not Joe Flacco who brought
up to the planet no, apparently it's Kenny Pickett. I'll
tell you this, If Kenny Pickett winds up winning this job,
(37:39):
that could doom Shadoor Sanders.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Well, we're also gonna buy jerseys of him in celebrated
damn snappy takes. Are you kidding?
Speaker 1 (37:47):
This could absolutely doom Shador Sanders because right now, if
he can't beat out Kenny Pickett, right, like, I get
not beating out Joe Flacco because hey, Flacco's done some
things there, he's fromiliar with the offense, he brought him
to the playoffs, He's gonna start until Shador Sanders is ready. Like, Okay,
I got you can't beat out job, but you need
to be that next guy, right you need to be
(38:08):
like Okay, if something happens, this is who you know,
you're coming to me. But now Kenny Pickett, who really
again is the fourth guy in this Like if you're
schaduor Sanders right now, like this is huge. I'm saying,
I really think I might have to go to the
CFL because there's been some big stuff the last few
days at ay his his negotiating rights, and Shador Sanders
(38:30):
CFL might be a place he needs to go to.
Prove himself like that, that really might be the next
place we see him play, because if he's falling behind
and Kenny Pickett's in the lead, and you know Flacco's
gonna be, then what kind of spot is there really
for Shadoor Sanders. Now, maybe it's he's not progressing, but
he looks good in seven on seven is what we've seen.
Maybe it's the off the field stuff and the and
(38:51):
the speeding, which is a really bad optic. We told
you that was a bad optic. It gives the Browns
a reason to say no. But man, if Kenny Pickett
continues to run number one quarterback, this has so many
ramifications for Sanders. It could be the CFL and then
he's got to do that to get back to the
NFL with another team. This is a really big development.
Speaker 3 (39:11):
I like the chaos theory that goes to it. And
this also would point to maybe Pittsburgh didn't know what
the hell they were doing on a whole other level
right twentieth overall, pick not that he ever really flashed
to where he was going to be great very short
leash before they moved a hunt from him, So whatever
in the building. But since Ben Roethlisberger and the two
(39:32):
years before that. We've talked about it a lot. They
haven't really done anybody that's come into that position a
good service. Now you go to a guy in Stefanski
who actually knows a thing or two. Yeah, and Shador
I was told he was brilliant and all these other drills.
That's great. People are checking those boxes. There's a lot
more that goes into it than you know, run around
(39:54):
in T shirts and shorts. So for Kenny Pickett, good
for him if he's able to reclaim what he once was.
I mean, because that's a short twenty twenty two when
he was picked. Jason, it hain'te that far. I know long,
I know, and look Gino it took him a decade.
Kenny Pickett might have gotten there fast.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
I'm telling you, man, this could be Shador Sanders in
this CFL. You might see that this summer like how.
Speaker 3 (40:15):
Crazy is that?
Speaker 1 (40:17):
Wo Man? More NFL. But coming up next, maybe the
hottest basketball take of the summer so far, because you
know it's gonna be asked in the next twenty four hours.
What is it? We'll tell you next
