Speaker 2 (00:50):
Tirack dot com. The way tire buying should be.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, we told you the world was stopping when the
Lakers and Warriors played, and yes, that's exactly what's happening.
Five and a half to go, so in the second quarter,
Lakers on top of Golden State forty six, forty four.
This has been a heavyweight battle of up and down
the floor. Just what it looks like, the Lakers are
seizing momentum. You get a three from the Warriors. It
(01:15):
has been some kind of start, and I gotta say,
so far, if you're saying, all right, who's really winning,
the Lakers are winning because this is a game I
honestly expected the Warriors to get out to a huge
lead early and try to run away from the Lakers,
and the Lakers staying in the game was gonna be difficult.
(01:35):
Were they're gonna be able to have to expend a
lot of energy on this And the fact they're this
close with five minutes to go in the second quarter. Now,
I feel like so far that this is going the
Lakers way because I really expect this to be a
Warriors night.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Well, I would say this going forward, and Steph Curry
missed a couple of shots early, some wide open threes,
and then he started to heat up a little bit
and found his rhythm. So he's got ten. Thompson's got
thirteen thus far, nine points off the bench for the Warriors,
six from Green and three from Pool. But if I'm
the Lakers, I'm just living inside. I mean, Anthony Davis
(02:10):
already has eighteen points on eight of nine. He should
never leave the paint and there should not be an
offensive possession that the ball doesn't at least touch his hands.
He decides to pass back out, fine, but at no
point should anybody else be freelancing and the ball not
be on his hands at some point in the possession
if he's on the court, because there's there's nobody that
(02:30):
can check him down low as good as Looney has
been thus far down the stretch and certainly in the
first round of the playoffs. So but a fun spirited
first half. And we had the universe broke just a
couple of minutes ago. Coming out of the last commercial
break is broke. They showed that Polenka and Rob Low
are in the same place, the same scene.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, but but is it really? Is it like McAvoy No, No, No.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It's gonna be like Mission Impossible, where Tom Cruise is
gonna take off of Max.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's gonna resched up as long.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
As he doesn't bring James Cordon with him.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
He just cost Mirra Max like a billion dollars. Jason.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
No, everybody knows that.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
What he ain't worrying about Mirror Max and Harvey Weinstein
right now.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
They haven't done the mass thing since like m I three.
I think that was the last mask when they did.
I don't think they've done do they do it?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
And Ghost Protocol and now people that go see four
know that that's not gonna happen protocol.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
They go see four ware where you can watch it
on your television if you want, you mean, go see
it where go see ghost Protocol where seven and eight
are coming out like back to back, like john Wick
in the next few weeks, we're getting all.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Of them john Wick, seven and eight are coming out.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
John Wick is back, dude, john Wick.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
They're gonna do the next john Wick from a space.
It's gonna be awesome. He's gonna ride a meteor into
the Earth and he's gonna be killing assassins on the
way down on the meteor. It's gonna be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay, that escalated.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
We've got it all planned out.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, I do, I do.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Hey, but the suit was bulletproof. Well if the boy
if the suit was media proof and like out a
space proof and like we put him on the moon
and he just rides back on a media and he
starts being and he starts killing all the assassins of
the coming in all the media's.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Which is worth the English accent or the Philadelphia accent
eight seven seven.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I don't know why I go to the English accent
when I'm pitching a movie idea.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
It was a crappy South African It's p's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
If that was I would go more like you're right right, yeah,
you're I would go down like, oh no, no, this.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Is this well I kind of missed it. Now I
kind of hang on, hang on, now.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You sound like the dad from Bluie. What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I need, I need, I need a hoogi witch. You
guys are like challenging me. It's like, this is a
big improv thing. Okay, Now the person is from Philadelphia.
Now they're from South Africa. Now they're on the moon.
Now they're John Wick.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Do your best Lemmy impression when he's telling uh in
the and he's impersonating Brian Cox. WHOA, I can't escalate
it quickly.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
My kids all suck, My kids all suck the a subspect.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
There's my Lemmy as Brian.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, there you got so again. It is a three
point game.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Now, Warriors with a fifty six to fifty three lead
over the Lakers again, just over three minutes to go
before halftime. Incredibly wild and entertaining game. Tonight's show, of course,
is brought to you by the Knicks, because the Knicks
are back and anybody. It's actually brought to you by

really doesn't get you anywhere. A big story today Shamster
(05:59):
on this earlier that the Memphis Grizzlies have told Dylan
Brooks they are not re signing.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Him under any circumstances.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Dylan Brooks, who of course became famous as an agitator
this year.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
In many games, you would.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Log onto Twitter at some point late and whyse Dylan
Brooks trending okay, got into it with somebody, but very
famously got into with Lebron James early in the Lakers
Grizzly series, says he doesn't respect anybody unless they put
forty points on him.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And Lebron is old.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Fast forward to the Lakers knocking the Grizzlies out of
the playoffs the way they did, and Memphis has said,
according to Shams, that they are not gonna bring Dylan.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Brooks back under any circumstances. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
He's been on a downward swing. He was tipping picks,
so he was drew the ire off a lot of people.
And then the last report he tried to give us
was wrong. So yes, man, I'll take the under any
circumstances with the greatestsault. But let's run with it for now.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Well, I think if that okay, if he was wrong
about it, I think we would have heard that. There
would have been a statement from the Grizzlies, No, we
love Dylan Brooks, we're bringing it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
We love the guy. Don't say that about us.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Now, I would heard under any circumstance you would have
heard something about the we don't intend to bring him
back is one thing.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The we'll see you in hell.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well, you know that that seemed to have been extreme.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Groot under no circumstances. Do you press this button? I
am grouped? No, no, no, no, not that, but no, no, no,
don't press the red button.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I am grouped. Uh. Now is this strictly because of
Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
No, this is more dealing with a symptom than the disease. Right,
that's that's kind of what it is. Now follow me,
because I feel like a doctor.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, because everybody's got the sickness. This is because everyone
seems to need the cure.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, look was it you mean you mean the music
group the Cure?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
No, I I used that was the Metallica lyric. Oh okay,
I thought every one's got to have the sick because
everyone seems to need the cure.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Okay, that's good because I like Metallica much more than
I like the Cure.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah. The Cure is very Their songs are all very depressing,
very very depressed.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Metallica just upbeat and uplifting every time.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Well at least they you know, they kind of they
have pile drivers Metallica. I mean, you know, I mean
the Robert Smith and the Cure is like, what's the
song about death? Oh okay, great, that's what I want
to listen to him.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's outstanding. I listen there running up that hill on
a loop for like forty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Okay, we can arrange that.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
No no no no no no no no no no
that far just said it want to no no, no,
that was not me That was Harmon who said that
that wasn't me.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
I'm gonna have Alex work on it from his home studio.
We will not be playing that today.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
That was Harmon, Thank you. Look, Iowa Sam wants ty
Shirt's job. We're not going to play that today.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
He's going on with John Wick on t Shirt.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Look, it's more the symptom than the disease, because this
was the biggest example of the Grizzlies doing what showing immaturity.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And they like to talk.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
They talk talk talk, talk, talk talk. They were great
front runners. When things are going well, they love to talk.
Things get a little more difficult, Look what happens they
go home. How do we deal with this? How did
the Grizzlies deal with a message they want to send
to the entire team. Guess what, Dylan Brooks, You're not
coming back. You are the fall guy for our maturity issues.
(09:26):
And this is what they're hoping is going to send
a message to the rest of the team. Look, the
GM said after the series is over, we had a
lot of self created distractions in these playoffs and that
we can't stand for that. You can't change out all
the players because some of them are all really bleeping good, right,
But Dylan Brooks is a guy who okay, he's an agitator.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Is he absolute instrumental to what you do?
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Now?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Dylan Brooks said, Hey, he's a great addition, he's a
great flavor piece.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
But you need something to send a message. And now
here's a guy who was a pretty decently important member
of that not one of the top three players. So
anybody's out with the top three is always expendable to
it to a point.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
So he's the fall guy. He's the guy.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Okay, we are gonna send this message, hopefully to everybody
by telling you this guy's not coming back. And you
could sit here and say, oh, because he pissed off Lebron, No,
he was the guy that talked the most. We want
you guys to grow up, and we gotta send a message,
so we're doing it this way. Dylan Brooks was not
as important to the Grizzlies as the other guys were.
(10:28):
If he was, it would be somebody else getting this message.
But Dylan Brooks is getting it because he's expendable, and
they're hoping that this solves the issue of Memphis who
look outward? I thought they were going to the NBA
Finals this year. Clearly they were talented enough, they were
good enough. They just couldn't get out of their own way.
They're a young team. They started believing everything about themselves.
They didn't really when they had to dig down and
(10:50):
really find a way to get something done, they couldn't
do it. And now they need to recalibrate, not reconfigure
themselves or restart. Now, I just got a kind of Okay,
let's recalibrate what's going to work here and now getting
rid of him and not bringing Dylan Brooks back, that's
gonna be the big message to say, you guys got
your heads on straight or there's gonna be other moves,
because this was a year where we should still be playing.
(11:12):
And it's a huge missed opportunity because you look at
the way the NBA Playoffs is going right now, and
why not the Grizzlies. There's talented as they are. John
Morant had his issues but came back they were playing strong.
He's an MVP candidate now, probably will win it sometime
the next couple of years, but he is the absolute
fall guy. Dylan Brooks for what happened right here.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, I mean, we've talked about hard reboots. I got
a reboot, do a nice little callback to prior episodes,
but rebooting this squad, you got a guy in Brooks
who is a career forty one point six percent shooter,
three rebounds to assists a game, and it's a this
story hit early enough, so I'm sure this has been
(11:51):
covered at nauseum, but you're not worth the headache. If
he'd shown any level of accountability for you know, stirring
the bear and all of that nonsense that was going
on with Lebron, maybe maybe there'd be a little different
sentiment to it that he at least owned it and
acted like a professional and a grown up after not
(12:13):
acting like a professional fake. But that's just it, you know,
going down the full fake tough guy route. Man. The
one thing you could say for John Morant for everything
that was off the field and so many different allegations
and still trying to corroborate and get to a conclusion
on most of that stuff. As it ended, he said, a,
(12:35):
you know what, I caused a lot of issues. My
off court stuff weighed on us. And two as the
fans sang no, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey, goodbye.
He sang along too, so he had fun with it
and recognized, you know what we we got got with
Dylan Brooks didn't took the took the fine, didn't even
(12:56):
do the I'm here, so I don't get fine bit
by the way, very low fine. They didn't restructure all
that stuff. If you're gonna act that big a fool,
some level of accountability. But for the Grizzlies, does it
xcize everything? No, but you got to start somewhere and
if you're going to rebuild your culture and look, I
to a degree, I like them leaning into Hey, we're
(13:18):
going to try to be bad asses, but you know what,
you have to follow through with it right. You can't
do it and then bail on it shortly thereafter when
things start going a ride. Now, I don't know. That's
when you've got to truly lean in. And I'm not
saying hard files and causing problems in that regard, but
just saying, look, sometimes you get gotten and I'm gonna
(13:39):
stay with it. He said it via statement after going
on vacation. It's not the way this works.

Lakers and Warriors at halftime, Lakers with a one point lead,
(16:17):
sixty five sixty four. The Warriors have already hoisted thirty threes.
They are thirteen out of thirty. Jordan Poole single handedly
keeping the Warriors in it off the bench with thirteen.
And that's the guy, honestly, Mike, that's the guy. The
Lakers have to stop because what we've seen the last
(16:40):
couple of months for a couple of contenders, right, We've
seen this with the Celtics, We've seen it with the Warriors.
The Celtics have gone from hey, this is a really
great team clicking on all cylinders to now they're pretty
much it's Tatum and Brown and that's it. That's kind
of what they've become. The Warriors have. They've kind of
become the same thing where it is Stephan Clay and
(17:03):
that's it. It's not Ben Wiggins, it's not Ben Pool,
it's not been Draymond. So they got a kind if
they can keep look let Clay and Steph score if
they can keep the rest of the team at Bay.
I love the Lakers chances. I picked them in sixes.
I think the defense will do enough.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, stay active, Draymond finding open men. But for Jordan
Poole gonna have to be huge offensively and not so
much of a liability that he's left on the bench.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So we'll have more on the NBA coming up in a.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Bit the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon,
but joining us now on the hot line. He is
actually living these last three days with Max Scherzer and
Justin Verlander, traveling with them on the road as a
return to the mound for the Mets at some point
when the Mets actually get to play another game and
don't get rained out. It is John Paul Morosi, MLB
(17:54):
Network Insider. You can follow him on Twitter at John
Morosi JP. Actually at Red Sox Blue Jays, but it's
more fun to think of you like rooming with Verlander
in Suzer and just hanging out and talking pitching with them.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Yes, hanging out, gentlemen, and by the way, good evening.
Given the current climate in Michigan, we would be hanging
out in the Morosi living room watching the rainfall. I
am optimistic. I am optimistic. I have called my weather
related sources. I have pulled every string there is to
(18:29):
pull in my home state. And Jason, I am trying
to make sure that both Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander
pitch in this series. And indeed it appears they will
pitch in a twenty four hour span, even perhaps less
than that when you consider Max Tomorrow night JV. Thursday
afternoon should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Well, it could be a triple header. Hey, your rained out,
that could play three games on Thursday?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Why not? You got to do that?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Ay creativity. Now this is a note. Let's remember everyone
got a new balanced schedule in baseball, and so every
time you're playing these interleague series. It's a very good point.
We've talked so much this early this season about the
pitch timer in this shift in the bigger base as well,
Let's remember about the schedule and why it appears at
(19:17):
the moment that all five teams in the American League
East will go one sixty two to Oh, it appears
to be the case right now.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It's my favorite division. Hey, asking for a friend JP.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
This is from a global baseball perspective, when is it
too early in the season to turn off all notifications
of how your team is performing?
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Wait?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Wait, what you can do? What you can do? Mike
Harmon is and this is I know it's going to
be a sad, sad day when this happens, but you
might want to do it today. You're going to have
to go into your notifications on the MLB at bat
app and choose a different favorite team that's not the
Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
No, no, recommend me, And I'm gonna listen.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I gotta stay with my team. How soon before Tim
Anderson is a Dodger?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Well, oh, okay, there you go. How about you bring
your favorite team to you Now.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I'll make this point.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I'll make this point. It's and this is actually a
very interesting and therapeutic thing for all of us. It's
not as though you're abandoning your favorite team. You just
begin to follow a different one that's having more success.
So in your heart, you're still a White Sox fan.
You're just going through the day to day with the Dodgers,
(20:33):
let's say, or a large market juggernaut like oh, I
don't know, the Pittsburgh Pirates at the moment. Yeah, let's
go those Those types of teams are much safer to
invest your mental and heart bandwidth in right now than
the White Sox. And I do think that's a very
interesting point, Tim Anderson and the Dodgers. Of course, the Dodgers,
(20:57):
as you know, because Rojas is coming off of the
they really have not gotten much production from shortstop this year.
Mookie Betts back to the outfield. So when you line
it all up and consider how the White Sox are playing,
Tim Anderson to the Dodgers, I may have to add
that to my rumors to check this month's file on
my Apple notes.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Let's go all right, JP, Now you mentioned the Dodgers.
They're beating the Phillies tonight four to one. But as
much as I can say about the guy and how
I hate how good of a player he is because
he's in the NL East. Bryce Harper returned tonight one
hundred and sixty days after Tommy John surgery on his
right elbow. It is the fastest return on record by
(21:38):
a Major League player from that surgery. Is this as
bionic as we think it is, or is this well,
we don't usually get this from non pitchers, So coming
back like this is not that big a deal.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Where are you on Harper? Coming back the way he is.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
It is extraordinary, And this quickly I realized, Yes, to
your point, we don't ness. I necessarily have to see
the full twelve month recovery for a position player, especially
if right now with Harper, for example, he's going to
come back as a DH but he is noted in
his career, in his life, many people close to him
(22:15):
have remarked on what a quick healer he is. He
is someone who is rarely seen with an ice pack on,
and he has pronounced himself to be ready. The doctors
have signed off on it. So far, obviously we have
not seen a signature moment from him this evening, but
the mere fact that he's back in the lineup, I
(22:37):
think is a tremendous psychological boost, and I really believe
that we're going to see him place in first base
this season. It was never a consideration for him before
the Reese Hoskins injury, but now that Hoskins has gone
for the season and potentially has moved on as of
the end of the season as a free agent. Having
(22:59):
Harper play of first base is a very very logical
move and it opens up some possibilities for them to
handle the outfield, and so between Harper and you consider
trade Turner as well, they may end up having one
of the more expensive infields in the history of baseball JP.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Now that we've got a month under our belt, you know,
you talked about all the changes across Major League Baseball,
always evaluating tweaking. What's the word on the street as
to level of success for each of the innovations.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
It's hi and the reason why, And I'll mention this story.
Sunday I was in Detroit and we were speaking with
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, and we asked him about one
month in what do you think, how how are you responding,
how's your team responding? And he had a very matter
of fact and an upbeat smile in his face, and
(23:52):
he said, John, I'm to the point now where I
haven't even look at the clock. I'm not worried about
it anymore. And that's a big step, because that's the
whole goal of why this was instituted. It was not
to be something that really reshaped and recast the entire
sport and made it look a lot different. The idea
(24:14):
was to just remind everyone that we can do this,
that the best athletes in the world can play a
little bit faster. And now you've got the games lasting
about a half hour less on average. I really believe, guys,
we're going to see a better product come September October
because the players are going they're going to be that
(24:35):
much fresher. That's you take those thirty minutes times six
or seven every week and then added up over a
month and added up over a year. It's a lot
of time. And I think as a result, the players
will be more arrested, more effective, and I think we're
going to really have one of the better seasons that
we have ever witnessed as fans Amazon Baseball.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Oh well, no way a minute, JP, you just said that.
Now you can never go to New York again because
Yankee fans are going weird and last place, What the
hell is this Marozi guy talking about? This is not
a great season. We're eighty to a half games out
of first and drives hurt. Time to panic, time to
panic for the Yankees?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Is it early? What is it right now?
Speaker 6 (25:13):
It is time to be concerned, and I panic would
be a little too strong for me. But but this
is not just a team that's going to roll out
of bed tomorrow and everything's gonna be fine, because they've
had too many injuries and they're realizing now with Judge
out just how much they relied on ninety nine last year,
and the power was from him he was playing center field.
(25:37):
They really need Jason, They need Harrison Bader to come
back and be an effective player for them, because at
least if you've got Beta and center that you can
mix and match. Have been on the corners, but if
Bader has continued issues from a standpoint of staying healthy,
then the overall question will get a lot more complicated
(25:57):
and how the lineup is arranged. So for me, Beta
health is massively important. And in general, I think the
Yankees have to find some ways to get a little
more consistency with the offense with without Judge, without Stanton,
without Donaldson. I think Volpi his base dealing has been exceptional,
but I think overall they need to embrace that athleticism
(26:19):
ism a bit more if they're going to find a
way to keep pace with teams like the Rays, Orioles
and Blue Jays.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
JP We're watching the padres since Fernando Tatis Junior came
back six and three entering tonight's action. But still you know,
the candlelight vigils for Juan Soto's bat. But I guess
in the interim you just say, hey, we'll take the
w's and maybe it'll it'll find its weight.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, it's a very fair point about Soto and guys.
The reality is he's been too passive at the play
too many walks, and it's I know that sounds a
little strange, but there are some players for whom the
damage and the chance for damn image is more valuable
than the walk in most cases. Now, if it's trying
(27:04):
to get the tying run on base in the ninth inning,
maybe you take a little different at bat. But he
is someone that has such power and such potential and
has proven it already at the major league level that
it's not just a matter of one bad month really
or just sub par month. He really hasn't delivered what
the Tigers or what the partners were expecting to get there.
(27:27):
So I think I think for me, Soto's is someone
that I think will eventually get get things figured out.
But it's it's been a puzzling moment for sure for them.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You can fall on Twitter at John Morosi.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
That is at John Morosi, puzzling moment for John Morossi
as he figures out further in Michigan JP as always, Buddy,
appreciate it. Enjoy the Red Sox and the Jays tomorrow.
My friend have fun. All right, he's gone. I guess well.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I thought you were gonna hit him with one more
sure your land or combo question.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
He's figuring out the weather.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
I guess he's like my wife's the doctor, Jim.
Speaker 1 (28:04):

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Six minutes ago in the third quarter,
Lakers lead the Warriors eighty three.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
To seventy six.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
They're back, biggest lead for the Lakers, making a seven
point game ad with twenty five and thirteen Dennis Shrewder.
We're thirteen off the bench for the Lakers. Meanwhile, for
the Warriors, Clay's got nineteen, steph As thirteen. Wiggins now
pretty hot. Third quarter, He's up to fifteen and off
(32:09):
the bench. Jordan Poole still with that thirteen points, so
as big a first half as he had.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Pretty quiet so far here in the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Not a lot of minutes just yet. But he'll start
to see some pt here shortly. The big thing here
is you got the Lakers with the seven point lead,
and Lebron's been a jag.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
He just hit a big three, Mike, Okay, so you're
three second. He's just a little more than a jack.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Okay, so slightly better when there's nobody within thirty feet.
Like literally the ball was coming up the court as
I uttered that statement, which clearly that two second delay
was everything. But he's just been passive and you've seen
(32:55):
more activity out of reeves and as I called for
heading into halftime, there should be no sequencing unless they're
gonna be that wide open that Anthony Davis doesn't touch
the ball on an offensive possession up ten.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
No, they stayed away from Lebron on that play like
it was the Caitlin Clark play in the when they
when they just when she just like say you're not
gonna shoot it, and they left the point guard all
by herself on the Let Lebron take a shot right there. Yeah,
suddenly the Lakers lead ballooning to ten. Lebron now fifteen
(33:27):
six rebounds and four assists for the Lakers, as he
is now their second leading scorer. We'll have more on
this game coming up in a few minutes. Still a
lot of time left to go. We got four and
a half to go the third quarter. We've seen the
Warriors erase ten point deficits in eight seconds or less before,
so there's still that time. But a bit of a
surprise headline today, And I maybe I like this story
(33:50):
a little bit more than most people do. But big
news about Super Bowl fifty seven five? What do you
mean the one we just saw? Yes, the Chiefs victory
over the Eagles after some well, let's just say uh,
post game accounting and counting, this game is now the
(34:12):
most watched US based telecast of all time one hundred
and fifteen point one million viewers. It's now become again
the most watched US based telecast of all time, highest
rated super Bowl, beating the Super Bowls at the second
and third rated super Bowls, which are all in the
past ten to twelve years, one hundred and fifteen point
(34:33):
one million. Eagles and the Chiefs. And I say this,
and I say this with a straight face. I don't
believe it. I don't believe it.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I don't believe did we ever adjust the final finale
of mash for inflation. I mean, if we can do
it for ticket sales on movies, can't we do it
for the number of televisions and screens across you? Yeah,
young Sheldon, you can't stop him. You can only hope
to contain him.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I remember watching The Last so to Match, just back
when there were four stations. You had ABC, NBC, CBS
in your independent station and you had Masterpiece Theater on
Channel thirteen you had the theater. Yeah, you had Alistair
Cook and Masterpiece Theater. I don't believe it. I don't
not that I don't believe it's a highly rated game.
I'm not saying that it was false and made up
(35:19):
and nobody watched it. You can tell overall popularity non
popularity when you see ratings for a show or something else,
But like this, I don't trust them. I don't trust
TV ratings now, just because I don't think, not that
I'm a tinfoil hat guy, and I think every are
they're lining to you, everybody's lying to you, everybody's watching
the Jets. No, I just don't think that we are
(35:42):
able to correctly guesstimate this close to how many people
watch something at this point I just don't think we're
there yet because the technology has gotten so much fair
we're still doing the Nielsen ratings, right, We're still doing
Nielsen ratings.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
And how many different ways are.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
There to consume a product now on television, whether it's
on TV, where it's on your DVR, whether you stream it,
whether so many different ways. Right, I'm watching it through
my Roku app. Wait, I'm watching it through the NFL
network app, which, oh wait, so that's more viewers and
that's they count today was people watching through NFL network.
I'm watching the alternate telecast. You can't tell me you
(36:19):
have the technology for that.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I'm watching it.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Through my friend's account when I stole his password.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
I come on, I'm watching it through his window. I'm
looking through on his well.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I just set up a chair on his lawn and
I'm watching along.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I I just don't.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I just there's no way I think they have it
covered that the way that they have measured viewing for
so long has been able to adjust an adapt in
the last four or five years.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Like I I, I wouldn't be surprised if you've found
a way to accurately find out the true number of
people watching an event.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Uh here it You wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Be surprised if it's either way way more than people
than people event. Forget about one hundred and fifty million,
this is actually one hundred and ninety million or two
hundred million. But whatever it was that you could find
out actually way more popular just because there's no way
to measure it. So and anything I think that comes
up like this, I don't trust that this is accurate
because I always think it's more people that are that
are consuming it, because it's really difficult at least, like
(37:18):
the thing is really difficult if you want to manufacture
people watching something like having bots watching something on television
or being able to have a Nielsen rating. So I
always feel like this number I hear and go, yeah,
that's great, but I don't trust it because I always
think it's more.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
I always did.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
There's more ways that people are doing it, and we
just don't know how to get all of those numbers
in yet.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Well it's it's like our business right trying to figure
out what's real, what's imagined, and where you're pulling numbers from.
How many repurposed articles right from Joe W's blog take
the stereotype in his mom's basement versus contrent aggregators versus
your own website versus your personal accounts. Like aggregating all
(38:00):
of those numbers to a meaningful end, I gotta imagine
it's still a very difficult proposition and a lot of
guestimations along the way. You know, you talk about all
the ways you consume televised programming and with streaming apps. Hell,
that's why the writers strike is happening across the country
(38:20):
and in other countries. I guess as well. You grab
the Canadians in as well. But you're looking at trying
to figure out how do you best capture streaming so
people get fairly compensated. Same thing here. You want to
show that your show or your event is a hit.
You're doing everything you can, and you can't rely only
on TikTok and YouTube impressions as much as the met
(38:43):
galu may.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Well, we told you the world was stopping when the
Lakers and Warriors played, and yes, that's exactly what's happening.
Five and a half to go, so in the second quarter,
Lakers on top of Golden State forty six, forty four.
This has been a heavyweight battle of up and down
the floor. Just what it looks like, the Lakers are
seizing momentum. You get a three from the Warriors. It
(01:15):
has been some kind of start, and I gotta say,
so far, if you're saying, all right, who's really winning,
the Lakers are winning because this is a game I
honestly expected the Warriors to get out to a huge
lead early and try to run away from the Lakers,
and the Lakers staying in the game was gonna be difficult.
(01:35):
Were they're gonna be able to have to expend a
lot of energy on this And the fact they're this
close with five minutes to go in the second quarter. Now,
I feel like so far that this is going the
Lakers way because I really expect this to be a
Warriors night.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Well, I would say this going forward, and Steph Curry
missed a couple of shots early, some wide open threes,
and then he started to heat up a little bit
and found his rhythm. So he's got ten. Thompson's got
thirteen thus far, nine points off the bench for the Warriors,
six from Green and three from Pool. But if I'm
the Lakers, I'm just living inside. I mean, Anthony Davis
(02:10):
already has eighteen points on eight of nine. He should
never leave the paint and there should not be an
offensive possession that the ball doesn't at least touch his hands.
He decides to pass back out, fine, but at no
point should anybody else be freelancing and the ball not
be on his hands at some point in the possession
if he's on the court, because there's there's nobody that
(02:30):
can check him down low as good as Looney has
been thus far down the stretch and certainly in the
first round of the playoffs. So but a fun spirited
first half. And we had the universe broke just a
couple of minutes ago. Coming out of the last commercial
break is broke. They showed that Polenka and Rob Low
are in the same place, the same scene.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, but but is it really? Is it like McAvoy No, No, No.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It's gonna be like Mission Impossible, where Tom Cruise is
gonna take off of Max.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's gonna resched up as long.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
As he doesn't bring James Cordon with him.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
He just cost Mirra Max like a billion dollars. Jason.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
No, everybody knows that.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
What he ain't worrying about Mirror Max and Harvey Weinstein
right now.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
They haven't done the mass thing since like m I three.
I think that was the last mask when they did.
I don't think they've done do they do it?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
And Ghost Protocol and now people that go see four
know that that's not gonna happen protocol.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
They go see four ware where you can watch it
on your television if you want, you mean, go see
it where go see ghost Protocol where seven and eight
are coming out like back to back, like john Wick
in the next few weeks, we're getting all.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Of them john Wick, seven and eight are coming out.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
John Wick is back, dude, john Wick.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
They're gonna do the next john Wick from a space.
It's gonna be awesome. He's gonna ride a meteor into
the Earth and he's gonna be killing assassins on the
way down on the meteor. It's gonna be fantastic.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Okay, that escalated.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
We've got it all planned out.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Yeah, I do, I do.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Hey, but the suit was bulletproof. Well if the boy
if the suit was media proof and like out a
space proof and like we put him on the moon
and he just rides back on a media and he
starts being and he starts killing all the assassins of
the coming in all the media's.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Which is worth the English accent or the Philadelphia accent
eight seven seven.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
I don't know why I go to the English accent
when I'm pitching a movie idea.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
It was a crappy South African It's p's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
If that was I would go more like you're right right, yeah,
you're I would go down like, oh no, no, this.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Is this well I kind of missed it. Now I
kind of hang on, hang on, now.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You sound like the dad from Bluie. What are you doing?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
I need, I need, I need a hoogi witch. You
guys are like challenging me. It's like, this is a
big improv thing. Okay, Now the person is from Philadelphia.
Now they're from South Africa. Now they're on the moon.
Now they're John Wick.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Do your best Lemmy impression when he's telling uh in
the and he's impersonating Brian Cox. WHOA, I can't escalate
it quickly.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
My kids all suck, My kids all suck the a subspect.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
There's my Lemmy as Brian.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Yeah, there you got so again. It is a three
point game.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Now, Warriors with a fifty six to fifty three lead
over the Lakers again, just over three minutes to go
before halftime. Incredibly wild and entertaining game. Tonight's show, of course,

really doesn't get you anywhere. A big story today Shamster
(05:59):
on this earlier that the Memphis Grizzlies have told Dylan
Brooks they are not re signing.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Him under any circumstances.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Dylan Brooks, who of course became famous as an agitator
this year.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
In many games, you would.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Log onto Twitter at some point late and whyse Dylan
Brooks trending okay, got into it with somebody, but very
famously got into with Lebron James early in the Lakers
Grizzly series, says he doesn't respect anybody unless they put
forty points on him.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
And Lebron is old.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Fast forward to the Lakers knocking the Grizzlies out of
the playoffs the way they did, and Memphis has said,
according to Shams, that they are not gonna bring Dylan.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Brooks back under any circumstances. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
He's been on a downward swing. He was tipping picks,
so he was drew the ire off a lot of people.
And then the last report he tried to give us
was wrong. So yes, man, I'll take the under any
circumstances with the greatestsault. But let's run with it for now.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Well, I think if that okay, if he was wrong
about it, I think we would have heard that. There
would have been a statement from the Grizzlies, No, we
love Dylan Brooks, we're bringing it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
We love the guy. Don't say that about us.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
Now, I would heard under any circumstance you would have
heard something about the we don't intend to bring him
back is one thing.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
The we'll see you in hell.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Well, you know that that seemed to have been extreme.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Groot under no circumstances. Do you press this button? I
am grouped? No, no, no, no, not that, but no, no, no,
don't press the red button.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
I am grouped. Uh. Now is this strictly because of
Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
No, this is more dealing with a symptom than the disease. Right,
that's that's kind of what it is. Now follow me,
because I feel like a doctor.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Yeah, because everybody's got the sickness. This is because everyone
seems to need the cure.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, look was it you mean you mean the music
group the Cure?
Speaker 3 (07:54):
No, I I used that was the Metallica lyric. Oh okay,
I thought every one's got to have the sick because
everyone seems to need the cure.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Okay, that's good because I like Metallica much more than
I like the Cure.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Yeah. The Cure is very Their songs are all very depressing,
very very depressed.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Metallica just upbeat and uplifting every time.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Well at least they you know, they kind of they
have pile drivers Metallica. I mean, you know, I mean
the Robert Smith and the Cure is like, what's the
song about death? Oh okay, great, that's what I want
to listen to him.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
That's outstanding. I listen there running up that hill on
a loop for like forty five minutes.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Okay, we can arrange that.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
No no no no no no no no no no
that far just said it want to no no, no,
that was not me That was Harmon who said that

He's going on with John Wick on t Shirt.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Look, it's more the symptom than the disease, because this
was the biggest example of the Grizzlies doing what showing immaturity.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And they like to talk.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
They talk talk talk, talk, talk talk. They were great
front runners. When things are going well, they love to talk.
Things get a little more difficult, Look what happens they
go home. How do we deal with this? How did
the Grizzlies deal with a message they want to send
to the entire team. Guess what, Dylan Brooks, You're not
coming back. You are the fall guy for our maturity issues.
(09:26):
And this is what they're hoping is going to send
a message to the rest of the team. Look, the
GM said after the series is over, we had a
lot of self created distractions in these playoffs and that
we can't stand for that. You can't change out all
the players because some of them are all really bleeping good, right,
But Dylan Brooks is a guy who okay, he's an agitator.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Is he absolute instrumental to what you do?
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Now?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Dylan Brooks said, Hey, he's a great addition, he's a
great flavor piece.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
That's awesome.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
But you need something to send a message. And now
here's a guy who was a pretty decently important member
of that not one of the top three players. So
anybody's out with the top three is always expendable to
it to a point.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
So he's the fall guy. He's the guy.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Okay, we are gonna send this message, hopefully to everybody
by telling you this guy's not coming back. And you
could sit here and say, oh, because he pissed off Lebron, No,
he was the guy that talked the most. We want
you guys to grow up, and we gotta send a message,
so we're doing it this way. Dylan Brooks was not
as important to the Grizzlies as the other guys were.
(10:28):
If he was, it would be somebody else getting this message.
But Dylan Brooks is getting it because he's expendable, and
they're hoping that this solves the issue of Memphis who
look outward? I thought they were going to the NBA
Finals this year. Clearly they were talented enough, they were
good enough. They just couldn't get out of their own way.
They're a young team. They started believing everything about themselves.
They didn't really when they had to dig down and
(10:50):
really find a way to get something done, they couldn't
do it. And now they need to recalibrate, not reconfigure
themselves or restart. Now, I just got a kind of Okay,
let's recalibrate what's going to work here and now getting
rid of him and not bringing Dylan Brooks back, that's
gonna be the big message to say, you guys got
your heads on straight or there's gonna be other moves,
because this was a year where we should still be playing.
(11:12):
And it's a huge missed opportunity because you look at
the way the NBA Playoffs is going right now, and
why not the Grizzlies. There's talented as they are. John
Morant had his issues but came back they were playing strong.
He's an MVP candidate now, probably will win it sometime
the next couple of years, but he is the absolute
fall guy. Dylan Brooks for what happened right here.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Yeah, I mean, we've talked about hard reboots. I got
a reboot, do a nice little callback to prior episodes,
but rebooting this squad, you got a guy in Brooks
who is a career forty one point six percent shooter,
three rebounds to assists a game, and it's a this
story hit early enough, so I'm sure this has been
(11:51):
covered at nauseum, but you're not worth the headache. If
he'd shown any level of accountability for you know, stirring
the bear and all of that nonsense that was going
on with Lebron, maybe maybe there'd be a little different
sentiment to it that he at least owned it and
acted like a professional and a grown up after not
(12:13):
acting like a professional fake. But that's just it, you know,
going down the full fake tough guy route. Man. The
one thing you could say for John Morant for everything
that was off the field and so many different allegations
and still trying to corroborate and get to a conclusion
on most of that stuff. As it ended, he said, a,
(12:35):
you know what, I caused a lot of issues. My
off court stuff weighed on us. And two as the
fans sang no, no, no, no, hey, hey, hey, goodbye.
He sang along too, so he had fun with it
and recognized, you know what we we got got with
Dylan Brooks didn't took the took the fine, didn't even
(12:56):
do the I'm here, so I don't get fine bit
by the way, very low fine. They didn't restructure all
that stuff. If you're gonna act that big a fool,
some level of accountability. But for the Grizzlies, does it
xcize everything? No, but you got to start somewhere and
if you're going to rebuild your culture and look, I
to a degree, I like them leaning into Hey, we're
(13:18):
going to try to be bad asses, but you know what,
you have to follow through with it right. You can't
do it and then bail on it shortly thereafter when
things start going a ride. Now, I don't know. That's
when you've got to truly lean in. And I'm not
saying hard files and causing problems in that regard, but
just saying, look, sometimes you get gotten and I'm gonna
(13:39):
stay with it. He said it via statement after going
on vacation. It's not the way this works.

Lakers and Warriors at halftime, Lakers with a one point lead,
(16:17):
sixty five sixty four. The Warriors have already hoisted thirty threes.
They are thirteen out of thirty. Jordan Poole single handedly
keeping the Warriors in it off the bench with thirteen.
And that's the guy, honestly, Mike, that's the guy. The
Lakers have to stop because what we've seen the last
(16:40):
couple of months for a couple of contenders, right, We've
seen this with the Celtics, We've seen it with the Warriors.
The Celtics have gone from hey, this is a really
great team clicking on all cylinders to now they're pretty
much it's Tatum and Brown and that's it. That's kind
of what they've become. The Warriors have. They've kind of
become the same thing where it is Stephan Clay and
(17:03):
that's it. It's not Ben Wiggins, it's not Ben Pool,
it's not been Draymond. So they got a kind if
they can keep look let Clay and Steph score if
they can keep the rest of the team at Bay.
I love the Lakers chances. I picked them in sixes.
I think the defense will do enough.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Yeah, stay active, Draymond finding open men. But for Jordan
Poole gonna have to be huge offensively and not so
much of a liability that he's left on the bench.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
So we'll have more on the NBA coming up in a.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Bit the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon,
but joining us now on the hot line. He is
actually living these last three days with Max Scherzer and
Justin Verlander, traveling with them on the road as a
return to the mound for the Mets at some point
when the Mets actually get to play another game and
don't get rained out. It is John Paul Morosi, MLB
(17:54):
Network Insider. You can follow him on Twitter at John
Morosi JP. Actually at Red Sox Blue Jays, but it's
more fun to think of you like rooming with Verlander
in Suzer and just hanging out and talking pitching with them.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Yes, hanging out, gentlemen, and by the way, good evening.
Given the current climate in Michigan, we would be hanging
out in the Morosi living room watching the rainfall. I
am optimistic. I am optimistic. I have called my weather
related sources. I have pulled every string there is to
(18:29):
pull in my home state. And Jason, I am trying
to make sure that both Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander
pitch in this series. And indeed it appears they will
pitch in a twenty four hour span, even perhaps less
than that when you consider Max Tomorrow night JV. Thursday
afternoon should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Well, it could be a triple header. Hey, your rained out,
that could play three games on Thursday?
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Why not? You got to do that?
Speaker 6 (18:54):
Ay creativity. Now this is a note. Let's remember everyone
got a new balanced schedule in baseball, and so every
time you're playing these interleague series. It's a very good point.
We've talked so much this early this season about the
pitch timer in this shift in the bigger base as well,
Let's remember about the schedule and why it appears at
(19:17):
the moment that all five teams in the American League
East will go one sixty two to Oh, it appears
to be the case right now.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It's my favorite division. Hey, asking for a friend JP.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
This is from a global baseball perspective, when is it
too early in the season to turn off all notifications
of how your team is performing?
Speaker 7 (19:38):
Wait?
Speaker 6 (19:38):
Wait, what you can do? What you can do? Mike
Harmon is and this is I know it's going to
be a sad, sad day when this happens, but you
might want to do it today. You're going to have
to go into your notifications on the MLB at bat
app and choose a different favorite team that's not the
Chicago White Sox.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
No, no, recommend me, And I'm gonna listen.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
I gotta stay with my team. How soon before Tim
Anderson is a Dodger?
Speaker 6 (20:05):
Well, oh, okay, there you go. How about you bring
your favorite team to you Now.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I'll make this point.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
I'll make this point. It's and this is actually a
very interesting and therapeutic thing for all of us. It's
not as though you're abandoning your favorite team. You just
begin to follow a different one that's having more success.
So in your heart, you're still a White Sox fan.
You're just going through the day to day with the Dodgers,
(20:33):
let's say, or a large market juggernaut like oh, I
don't know, the Pittsburgh Pirates at the moment. Yeah, let's
go those Those types of teams are much safer to
invest your mental and heart bandwidth in right now than
the White Sox. And I do think that's a very
interesting point, Tim Anderson and the Dodgers. Of course, the Dodgers,
(20:57):
as you know, because Rojas is coming off of the
they really have not gotten much production from shortstop this year.
Mookie Betts back to the outfield. So when you line
it all up and consider how the White Sox are playing,
Tim Anderson to the Dodgers, I may have to add
that to my rumors to check this month's file on
my Apple notes.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Let's go all right, JP, Now you mentioned the Dodgers.
They're beating the Phillies tonight four to one. But as
much as I can say about the guy and how
I hate how good of a player he is because
he's in the NL East. Bryce Harper returned tonight one
hundred and sixty days after Tommy John surgery on his
right elbow. It is the fastest return on record by
(21:38):
a Major League player from that surgery. Is this as
bionic as we think it is, or is this well,
we don't usually get this from non pitchers, So coming
back like this is not that big a deal.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Where are you on Harper? Coming back the way he is.
Speaker 6 (21:53):
It is extraordinary, And this quickly I realized, Yes, to
your point, we don't ness. I necessarily have to see
the full twelve month recovery for a position player, especially
if right now with Harper, for example, he's going to
come back as a DH but he is noted in
his career, in his life, many people close to him
(22:15):
have remarked on what a quick healer he is. He
is someone who is rarely seen with an ice pack on,
and he has pronounced himself to be ready. The doctors
have signed off on it. So far, obviously we have
not seen a signature moment from him this evening, but
the mere fact that he's back in the lineup, I
(22:37):
think is a tremendous psychological boost, and I really believe
that we're going to see him place in first base
this season. It was never a consideration for him before
the Reese Hoskins injury, but now that Hoskins has gone
for the season and potentially has moved on as of
the end of the season as a free agent. Having
(22:59):
Harper play of first base is a very very logical
move and it opens up some possibilities for them to
handle the outfield, and so between Harper and you consider
trade Turner as well, they may end up having one
of the more expensive infields in the history of baseball JP.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
Now that we've got a month under our belt, you know,
you talked about all the changes across Major League Baseball,
always evaluating tweaking. What's the word on the street as
to level of success for each of the innovations.
Speaker 6 (23:31):
It's hi and the reason why, And I'll mention this story.
Sunday I was in Detroit and we were speaking with
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, and we asked him about one
month in what do you think, how how are you responding,
how's your team responding? And he had a very matter
of fact and an upbeat smile in his face, and
(23:52):
he said, John, I'm to the point now where I
haven't even look at the clock. I'm not worried about
it anymore. And that's a big step, because that's the
whole goal of why this was instituted. It was not
to be something that really reshaped and recast the entire
sport and made it look a lot different. The idea
(24:14):
was to just remind everyone that we can do this,
that the best athletes in the world can play a
little bit faster. And now you've got the games lasting
about a half hour less on average. I really believe, guys,
we're going to see a better product come September October
because the players are going they're going to be that
(24:35):
much fresher. That's you take those thirty minutes times six
or seven every week and then added up over a
month and added up over a year. It's a lot
of time. And I think as a result, the players
will be more arrested, more effective, and I think we're
going to really have one of the better seasons that
we have ever witnessed as fans Amazon Baseball.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Oh well, no way a minute, JP, you just said that.
Now you can never go to New York again because
Yankee fans are going weird and last place, What the
hell is this Marozi guy talking about? This is not
a great season. We're eighty to a half games out
of first and drives hurt. Time to panic, time to
panic for the Yankees?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Is it early? What is it right now?
Speaker 6 (25:13):
It is time to be concerned, and I panic would
be a little too strong for me. But but this
is not just a team that's going to roll out
of bed tomorrow and everything's gonna be fine, because they've
had too many injuries and they're realizing now with Judge
out just how much they relied on ninety nine last year,
and the power was from him he was playing center field.
(25:37):
They really need Jason, They need Harrison Bader to come
back and be an effective player for them, because at
least if you've got Beta and center that you can
mix and match. Have been on the corners, but if
Bader has continued issues from a standpoint of staying healthy,
then the overall question will get a lot more complicated
(25:57):
and how the lineup is arranged. So for me, Beta
health is massively important. And in general, I think the
Yankees have to find some ways to get a little
more consistency with the offense with without Judge, without Stanton,
without Donaldson. I think Volpi his base dealing has been exceptional,
but I think overall they need to embrace that athleticism
(26:19):
ism a bit more if they're going to find a
way to keep pace with teams like the Rays, Orioles
and Blue Jays.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
JP We're watching the padres since Fernando Tatis Junior came
back six and three entering tonight's action. But still you know,
the candlelight vigils for Juan Soto's bat. But I guess
in the interim you just say, hey, we'll take the
w's and maybe it'll it'll find its weight.
Speaker 6 (26:42):
Well, it's a very fair point about Soto and guys.
The reality is he's been too passive at the play
too many walks, and it's I know that sounds a
little strange, but there are some players for whom the
damage and the chance for damn image is more valuable
than the walk in most cases. Now, if it's trying
(27:04):
to get the tying run on base in the ninth inning,
maybe you take a little different at bat. But he
is someone that has such power and such potential and
has proven it already at the major league level that
it's not just a matter of one bad month really
or just sub par month. He really hasn't delivered what
the Tigers or what the partners were expecting to get there.
(27:27):
So I think I think for me, Soto's is someone
that I think will eventually get get things figured out.
But it's it's been a puzzling moment for sure for them.
Speaker 2 (27:35):
You can fall on Twitter at John Morosi.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
That is at John Morosi, puzzling moment for John Morossi
as he figures out further in Michigan JP as always, Buddy,
appreciate it. Enjoy the Red Sox and the Jays tomorrow.
My friend have fun. All right, he's gone. I guess well.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I thought you were gonna hit him with one more
sure your land or combo question.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
He's figuring out the weather.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
I guess he's like my wife's the doctor, Jim.

a week, my garbone?
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Oh, I know you really enjoyed the question that I
asked about notifications because I did shut them off this weekend.
I just couldn't take it. White Sox surrender another lead. No,
hey had no hitter. Now they gave up ten runs. No,
they get a victory today in ten innings over the Twins.
So as a couple of Twitter respondents said, hey, you'll
(29:32):
you'll get back to some level of stability here in

Speaker 1 (31:35):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Six minutes ago in the third quarter,
Lakers lead the Warriors eighty three.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
To seventy six.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
They're back, biggest lead for the Lakers, making a seven
point game ad with twenty five and thirteen Dennis Shrewder.
We're thirteen off the bench for the Lakers. Meanwhile, for
the Warriors, Clay's got nineteen, steph As thirteen. Wiggins now
pretty hot. Third quarter, He's up to fifteen and off
(32:09):
the bench. Jordan Poole still with that thirteen points, so
as big a first half as he had.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
Pretty quiet so far here in the third quarter.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Not a lot of minutes just yet. But he'll start
to see some pt here shortly. The big thing here
is you got the Lakers with the seven point lead,
and Lebron's been a jag.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
He just hit a big three, Mike, Okay, so you're
three second. He's just a little more than a jack.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Okay, so slightly better when there's nobody within thirty feet.
Like literally the ball was coming up the court as
I uttered that statement, which clearly that two second delay
was everything. But he's just been passive and you've seen
(32:55):
more activity out of reeves and as I called for
heading into halftime, there should be no sequencing unless they're
gonna be that wide open that Anthony Davis doesn't touch
the ball on an offensive possession up ten.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
No, they stayed away from Lebron on that play like
it was the Caitlin Clark play in the when they
when they just when she just like say you're not
gonna shoot it, and they left the point guard all
by herself on the Let Lebron take a shot right there. Yeah,
suddenly the Lakers lead ballooning to ten. Lebron now fifteen
(33:27):
six rebounds and four assists for the Lakers, as he
is now their second leading scorer. We'll have more on
this game coming up in a few minutes. Still a
lot of time left to go. We got four and
a half to go the third quarter. We've seen the
Warriors erase ten point deficits in eight seconds or less before,
so there's still that time. But a bit of a
surprise headline today, And I maybe I like this story
(33:50):
a little bit more than most people do. But big
news about Super Bowl fifty seven five? What do you
mean the one we just saw? Yes, the Chiefs victory
over the Eagles after some well, let's just say uh,
post game accounting and counting, this game is now the
(34:12):
most watched US based telecast of all time one hundred
and fifteen point one million viewers. It's now become again
the most watched US based telecast of all time, highest
rated super Bowl, beating the Super Bowls at the second
and third rated super Bowls, which are all in the
past ten to twelve years, one hundred and fifteen point
(34:33):
one million. Eagles and the Chiefs. And I say this,
and I say this with a straight face. I don't
believe it. I don't believe it.
Speaker 3 (34:42):
I don't believe did we ever adjust the final finale
of mash for inflation. I mean, if we can do
it for ticket sales on movies, can't we do it
for the number of televisions and screens across you? Yeah,
young Sheldon, you can't stop him. You can only hope
to contain him.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
I remember watching The Last so to Match, just back
when there were four stations. You had ABC, NBC, CBS
in your independent station and you had Masterpiece Theater on
Channel thirteen you had the theater. Yeah, you had Alistair
Cook and Masterpiece Theater. I don't believe it. I don't
not that I don't believe it's a highly rated game.
I'm not saying that it was false and made up
(35:19):
and nobody watched it. You can tell overall popularity non
popularity when you see ratings for a show or something else,
But like this, I don't trust them. I don't trust
TV ratings now, just because I don't think, not that
I'm a tinfoil hat guy, and I think every are
they're lining to you, everybody's lying to you, everybody's watching
the Jets. No, I just don't think that we are
(35:42):
able to correctly guesstimate this close to how many people
watch something at this point I just don't think we're
there yet because the technology has gotten so much fair
we're still doing the Nielsen ratings, right, We're still doing
Nielsen ratings.
Speaker 2 (35:58):
And how many different ways are.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
There to consume a product now on television, whether it's
on TV, where it's on your DVR, whether you stream it,
whether so many different ways. Right, I'm watching it through
my Roku app. Wait, I'm watching it through the NFL
network app, which, oh wait, so that's more viewers and
that's they count today was people watching through NFL network.
I'm watching the alternate telecast. You can't tell me you
(36:19):
have the technology for that.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
I'm watching it.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Through my friend's account when I stole his password.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
I come on, I'm watching it through his window. I'm
looking through on his well.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I just set up a chair on his lawn and
I'm watching along.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I I just don't.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
I just there's no way I think they have it
covered that the way that they have measured viewing for
so long has been able to adjust an adapt in
the last four or five years.
Speaker 2 (36:43):
I don't believe it.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Like I I, I wouldn't be surprised if you've found
a way to accurately find out the true number of
people watching an event.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
Uh here it You wouldn't.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Be surprised if it's either way way more than people
than people event. Forget about one hundred and fifty million,
this is actually one hundred and ninety million or two
hundred million. But whatever it was that you could find
out actually way more popular just because there's no way
to measure it. So and anything I think that comes
up like this, I don't trust that this is accurate
because I always think it's more people that are that
are consuming it, because it's really difficult at least, like
(37:18):
the thing is really difficult if you want to manufacture
people watching something like having bots watching something on television
or being able to have a Nielsen rating. So I
always feel like this number I hear and go, yeah,
that's great, but I don't trust it because I always
think it's more.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
I always did.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
There's more ways that people are doing it, and we
just don't know how to get all of those numbers
in yet.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Well it's it's like our business right trying to figure
out what's real, what's imagined, and where you're pulling numbers from.
How many repurposed articles right from Joe W's blog take
the stereotype in his mom's basement versus contrent aggregators versus
your own website versus your personal accounts. Like aggregating all
(38:00):
of those numbers to a meaningful end, I gotta imagine
it's still a very difficult proposition and a lot of
guestimations along the way. You know, you talk about all
the ways you consume televised programming and with streaming apps. Hell,
that's why the writers strike is happening across the country
(38:20):
and in other countries. I guess as well. You grab
the Canadians in as well. But you're looking at trying
to figure out how do you best capture streaming so
people get fairly compensated. Same thing here. You want to
show that your show or your event is a hit.
You're doing everything you can, and you can't rely only
on TikTok and YouTube impressions as much as the met
(38:43):
galu may.
Speaker 2 (38:44):
Like to twitter.
