Yeah you know when. Uh, the funny thing is when
my my mom, when she first discovered email, right, when
she first discovered email, what we did for her for
her birthday was we set her up on an email
like she didn't know anything about it, and we set
up with an email account and sent her a big
gift card you know in the email. Right, So she
(01:31):
and she wants she heard about email, she everybody did.
It was I really wanted. I'm excited to do email, right,
this is there. Sure, I'm excited to do email. We
set her up on an email account, like, we set
her up on Yahoo with a Yahoo email account, right,
and we sent her like I said, and she had
a big gift certificate that we sent her. She was
way more excited. Thought we spent so much money setting
(01:52):
her up with an email on My son gave me
an he's telling story. I can hear on the phone.
My son gave me an email account for for my birthday.
Oh my god, it's about I got my pipe, put
my password in and everything. I don't know. I don't
know how much planning it was. I'm like, oh my god,
my mom thinks we really Mom, Look mom, look.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
In the email.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
We say, that's the money we spent was for the
gift cards for but she thought like I. I turned
to Pam and I said, we didn't even need.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
That's all.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It was that you could email all time. And she
loved it, loved it, loved it. I mean it was
she loved sending emails. She was and she wasn't someone
that would send forwards. She would just email back and forth.
I can send you a note and get something back
like within h you know.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
An hour, maybe I go all right, well not always
on email, not on that time, but yeah, sure, yes, absolutely,
like within a day.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, you send me an email and I'll send you
an email back and all this.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm like, wow, we got I still
think about that.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I still think about like that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I know what it was like one hundred dollars hundred
and twenty five dollars or something for it, like we
could have just saved because you could have gone out
to dinner a couple of times. We got you once
because we got you your name with your email. Oh yeah, yeah,
she loved She loved it because it was glorious. Syracuse
was her email, and she loved me. Oh yes, oh
my god, glorious. Say yeah, yeah, yeah, what's your what's
(03:06):
your password? Oh, and like it was fifteen minutes. I
gotta come up with a really good password, like okay,
usually people come up with passwords like within thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
But okay, take your time, Bob.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But I'll just stand here at the computer center, at
the computer with a poised over what you want in
your email to be when it says confirmed passwords, I'm
just gonna stay right here.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
You tell me what you want. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
When I worked at Yahoo, we we'd do a lot
of testing before the launch of a new fantasy game,
right as would come into a football season, and we
had a couple of accounts that we would use, and
one of the guys I worked with, it was always
about the last Stanley Cup for the New York Rangers
was the password, no matter what account, no matter what
we needed to access, I always knew. I didn't even
(03:47):
have to ask, Like I knew nineteen forty. I am
going all the way back to nineteen with a bunch
of other letters and symbols or whatever. But it was
just funny as hell. An he goes you it's got something.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
To do with Baines.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Ah, Baines three try three Banes try h Baines try
hal Bans try hal Baines three try three hal Banes
try Halbanes h o f try.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Baines eighth f age dh h. There's see.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That's the thing is like, even if I guess, I
guess it was something to do with Harold Baines, I'm like, boy,
it could be anything.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Oh no, it's a million. It's a million. Yeah, No,
that's a long time to guess.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Man like like, oh, it's actually a stat line from
the nineteen eighty one season.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's a celebration of the home run he hit to
end a twenty inning game when the reporters said to him, hey, Harold,
you really got all of that one. He looked at him,
looked around the room and said, evidently it's three two
eight three two one one seven.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
What is that? Well?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
He had three twenty eight with thirty one home runs
and one hundred and seventeen RBIs three two eight, three
one one one seven. There it is right there, right now.
I guarantee you I just put somebody's password out on
the air something. But as that passed, it's true and
it's their stats from from their best year, from their
best year. Guarantee now, just because it's a big NBA night. Yeah, huge,
you know, even though the cerpients have something cooking, yes listen, yes,
(05:08):
the Mets, Yes, Nolan mclin.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
It upsets me a tiny bit. But I have too
much going on with the Knicks right now. I am
too locked in on the Knicks. I don't have time
for a lot of other things in my life right now.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But they changed their team name to defeat you. Yeah, yeah,
but that's okay, seven piente. Yeah, you knowhoul change your
team name seventy six ers. You know they should change
it instead of seventy six they should be zho and four.
Oh too soon, too soon, You're so soon. You're just
enjoying this, perhaps a little bit too much. Gotta be careful.
(05:37):
The basketball gods do not wish to be It's like
a happy fun ball. Yeah, you know the old Saturday
Night Live. Do not taunt fun But I'm really but
I'm so locked in in the moment. I don't have
time for a lot of other things. I'm so locked
in on the Knicks that it's like, okay, Like when
Pam says, hey, can we go to Costco today and
then do this and I'm like, yeah, yeah, sure because
(05:58):
there's no game today, or you say, hey, this is
not a good sample day. No I'm not going. No,
like be ten o'clock in the morning and like it.
I'll get up and I'll you know, check the world
is there and start, you know, prep write out or note.
We're gonna you know, stuff topics and stuff for the night.
We send it you and I start sending text and
emails you me and Frostburg like okay, She's hey, can
we do Costco? And then uh, Trader Joe's, and then
(06:18):
I might have to go to Target. I'm like, yeah,
no game today, We're good. You're like, I don't know that.
I'm gonna have enough time. Good get a depot in there,
but no, no home.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
No home.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Depot is more of a weekend thing. It's a weekend thing.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But on a day where there's a game and the
games at four it's ten o'clock, can we do that? No, can't,
But we have six hours. I go, yeah, no, I'm
just locked in. We could do one of those things,
but I need to get back and just sit and
just sit and have just nothing go through my head
while I just look at the clock, getting ready for
four o'clock. Maybe we can stream a couple of shows
(06:50):
that we've been watching. But I'm really not gonna pay
that much attention because I'm locked in on the next.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Like I got a stretch, I got a hydrate. Yeah
I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I mean, I mean I'm ready. I mean really, Alame
is not shooting a movie now he knows you can't
do it. He's locked in on the next. Everybody Tracy
Morgan at that he's not doing. They're not shooting the
Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins that you can't do.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
What.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Congratulations on the renewal though, Yeah, that's funny showing with
suddenly everybody kind of recognizing how talented that Radcliffe really is.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's a really it's a really fits well done.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah. Uh, And Daniel Radcliffe kind of grows into the
role like midway point of the season because Tracy Morgan
carries the whole thing. Oh he's amazing. I mean good
to see him back in h you know, in that comfort.
Some of the stuff he says, just like, the guy's
a genius, right, He's just absolutely a genius.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But now we can't.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Work because he's he's got to go to the next
he's locked in on the next. Think about every contract
you're signing for a movie or TV show not shooting.
We're not what he's out.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Like, you're calling Chalamey's agent.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Hi, this is Steven Spielberg. Oh is that Steven Spielberg?
Say no, this is Stephen himself. I want to shoot
a movie. I want Shalomey to be my star. It's
gonna be a big thing. When do you want to
start shooting. Well, we're gonna start sometime in the next
couple of weeks. Yeah, you know, Tim's gonna take a
little bit of time right now. Uh don't know how long,
but he's got a real busy next couple of weeks. Well,
I watch all I see him is he's a sidelines
(08:08):
at the Knicks games.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Yeah, that's Tim's focus right now. And and and we're
just gonna let him do that. And then you know
we're gonna hit him up after the next season is over.
That that's when it's gonna happen again. Oh well, all right, so.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
People see him in a positive light here. It kind
of pushes away from that ballet story.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
But I but I really want to start shooting this movie. Listen,
you know what, we got Zac Efron as a client
to why don't we give you Zac's number?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
He's forty now did you know that?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Like Zach is forty some odd years old, he's not
twenty three. He's not Troy anymore. Yeah, but he showed
you that he can a mote too. You saw von
Eric move. Yeah, I used to be a brother.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Okay, I actually had another, uh project in mind for
Zach Efron, so you know, I'll never mind. Hey, you
know what, we also we represent Zach Braff.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Uh. He's done shooting that scrubs Rey, but yeah, you
know what, I'll call you back for Tim in a couple.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Of weeks, call him back for Shallowby shadow By.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
That got renews for season two h as well, So
he doesn't have time, shallabay nobody? Ann Hathaway has no time. Luckily,
Devilwaar's Produc two is out. She's done all the push
forward because now it's next time. Now he understands, well,
she's got all sorts of other movies. She got like
four other movies coming out. She had another area that
came out in mid April ahead of Devilware's Product two.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I mean she's locked in on the NEX thing.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Now, big NFL story today, and it doesn't come without
a caveat.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
The Jets re signed Breese Hall two years. Basically, it's
a two year deal, fourteen and a half million dollars
a year. Right, it's a three see And here's the
thing is that, Like, I'm excited about this, but I
shake my head because this is a typical Jets thing
to do. Right, Is Brice Hall a really good running back?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Did they do the right thing and keeping Breeze Hall
by giving them a contract now, because Jean Robinson's coming
up for a new deal, and so is Jamiir Gibbs,
and these guys are gonna get upwards of twenty million
dollars a year's running backs. Absolutely, So yeah, you get
Breese Hall's one of the top I would say, one
of the top ten running backs in the game running
for one thousand yards on that craptastic Jets team last year.
(10:06):
That's a pretty big accomplishment. So, yeah, you kept a playmaker,
you gave him a second contract. It's a good thing
to tell your your free agents. Hey, you can see
a second contract here him and Garrett Wilson got the
second contracts. Right, everything makes sense except because you know
there's a butt, because you know the Jets can't have
to have things.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Is that? Okay? What's the main thing for the Jets
this year?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Get a quarterback right, finish low enough where you can
get one of the six or seven quarterbacks who right
now project to be top half of the first round picks.
Not just arch Manning or Dante Moore or Leonora's sellers,
maybe sores B who he might be a supplemental guy
if he loses his eligibility. But there's six or seven
(10:48):
guys that you are seeing every single analyst say, these
guys right now are all first round talents. Now, not
every guy is going to be a first round talent.
Some guys like Kate club Nick looked like they're a
first round talent, but they play way into the later
end of the draft.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
You see that every time Garrett nus Meyer could have
been a first round pick, but again way later.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Struggle got hurt multiple times. Yeah, you know how it's.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Good, But right now you are seeing this and arch
Manning and Dante Moore are what are seen as these
are two generational type quarterbacks. Franchise type quarterbacks. You gotta
make sure you are finishing low enough that you can
get one of them. You have the draft picks next
year if you want to move up to a team
that's picking second, that as a quarterback that just had
a bad year. Hey, here's our number six pick and
our number fourteen pick and our number thirty three pick. Okay, great,
(11:31):
you got the second pick and get your quarterback right.
It's so important. You got to get your quarterback right.
But what did the Jets do this offseason? Because the
goals of the organization don't match the goals of Darren
Muji and Aaron Glenn, which is, we want to keep
our jobs after this year. So we got to win
because they blew it so badly last year and they
were terrible and now it's okay, well I want to
(11:52):
keep my job. We got to win this year. So
what did they do? They went out and made smart
signings in free agency. Now, the draft was great, you
drafted great player, as supposed to do that. But they
one out and they sign guys good enough defensively in
free agency and the draft they did, they'll be good
enough to finish tenth with a tenth overall. Pick right,
they'll win six games, six this games, and that's gonna
be ten to fifteen. How is that gonna get them
(12:15):
their quarterback?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's how we gotta find a way to try to
move up even further from there from ten, Like the
needs of the organization should always be in line, and
they don't meet the needs of the head coach in
the GM. And this is where if Woody Johnson was
a good owner, he would say, Hey, we're just gonna
do what the Dolphins did. And that's like, let everybody
go bring in a quarterback who's not gonna be any good,
(12:36):
not really give them a ton of money for a
couple of years, and we're gonna have arch Manning next year.
Everybody in Miami is on board. That's why they should
have ate all of to his money this year. Because
you're gonna be bad anyway. Why not just say, yeah,
we're gonna do it this year. You know it's gonna
be a rough year, but the prize after this year
could be arch Manning and we're great for a decade,
or Dante Moore, whoever you want to fill in there.
The Dolphins are doing it right now here. The Jets
(12:57):
all because we gotta save our jobs. This is what
we're doing. Like they got it. You gotta sync up.
Miami new head coach knew everything. Yes, they're keeping Devon
h N Okay, you're keeping a running back. You can
still deal him with the deadline. Yes, that's all good. Right,
you can still do that. But they are more in
line with we know what we need to do and
what this year is all about. And the Jets were well,
(13:20):
we thought that was last year, but no, it was
so bad. But with your first year head coach, and
he was so bad, and the GM brought some talent
in but it didn't matter. Now their needs and what
they want to do are different. And because Woody Johnson
is the worst owner in the NFL, yeah, we gotta
try to win. No, dude, you got you gotta have
a vision. You gotta have a vision for what your
team needs.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
The problem is that you had all the big splash
moments with the Giants this last year, right when he
wasn't in a blue tan Jackson Dart looked pretty good
at times. Scat of him when he was healthy look
pretty good at time. Now you've made some extra additions
and you changed out the head coach to a guy
who's what's that word good? Yeah, So all of that
to say, hey, Woody Johnson recognizes that on the back
(14:03):
of the fish raps that you're getting obliterated because your
team still looks like it's running in mud or has
been fossilized. And so what do you do? You try
to bring your level of competency. Problem is, you're in
division with a team that decided to go all in.
As you mentioned with the Miami Dolphins, eight Chan won't
(14:23):
be there or shouldn't be there in the grand scheme
of this, and spending money on Malik Willis' is more,
I think, just to keep the NFL leaving them alone
in terms of tanking.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Now, No, look, we.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Got our legit potential quarterback of the future. You saw
how good he was in those thirty passes he threw
this year. He's fantastic, and he knows the coach and
all of this stuff, and that's all fine and good,
and maybe he will be Maybe Milik Willis will be
a good middle of the road quarterback with some upside.
We'll see, but all in for the Jets, you're just
(14:56):
stuck in no man's land. Right, you're over under I
think is five and a half wins the year, and
you'll be just good enough with those skill position players
to win six games.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Now I think Frostburg might have this right.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Is because of the price of poker for running backs
keeps going up, that you may have contenders knocking on
your door to take on that contract because it's not egregious, right,
it's not completely over the top. And we've seen how
the offensive weapon instead of running back is the term
you want to use now, which is why you know
Jeremiah Love ends up getting drafted third and gets his
(15:31):
big contract and guarantees and everything else, that maybe you'll
have someone come over the top once you realize, hey,
you know what, we could use an extra draft pick
maybe to package and be ready to move up in
the draft if we need to.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah, because now you've made him more attractive at the
deadline to where you can get more because teams say, well, okay,
we're paying the rest of this year than fourteen and
a half million for next year. We can exercise the
option on the third year if we want to. We
don't have to.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Now we're not just renting a guy, We're getting a
guy we think can be someone for the next year
and a half, and now the Jets get a better
draft pick for it. But I mean, really, this is
the Jets can't do it right. They can't ever get
on the same page what the organization needs right.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It's why Gino Smith's gonna be your quarterback for the
next five years. That's the one thing that's gonna help
you keep from winning too many games. Hi knees exit

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Great game.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
This is where the Spurs either take back home court
or the t Wolves get to within one game of.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
A stranglehold on the series three to one lead.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And really this series has become about two people over
the course of the past couple of days.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Right, it's Wemby and it's Awards.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Edward's coming back and getting back into the swing after
being hurt, coming off the bench, now starting again and
Wemby and and the continued push of Wemby is the
best player in the NBA. Now. He talked a lot
about Wemby this week, Right, we talked a lot about Wemby.
But just because it's Friday, positivity Friday.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So we're gonna talk about Uh, this is.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Aunt Edwards's time. This is his time. Two years ago
was too soon. Two years ago it was we're looking
for somebody in the playoffs, and oh, I think he's
the next Michael Jordan. Okay, let's let's take it easy
on that. And he wasn't ready for.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
That, right, But now here you are two years later,
and Edwards, this is his time.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
He talks more like a leader. You hear him say
things like, Hey, what what are you gonna do coming back?
Whatever coach wants, right, Chris Finch, who he openly feuded
with over the course the last couple of years, where
he was listening.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
To him or not well.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Even in post game after Game two, we had some
response to coaches.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah coach's presser. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
But still you hear him say things like yeah, whatever
coach needs you. Hear the way the players respond to
him in when he returns to play, Oh, I can't
believe ant's doing this and coming back. He works hard,
he does all of this. These are not things you
heard a couple of years ago. When we first went
it was hey, here come the Tea Wolves. Here's a
big run in the playoffs. The Tea Wolves in the
(20:22):
thunder will look like they were gonna be the two
teams to dominate the league in the next few years.
The thunder Of continued on that path. Minnesota is kind
of meandering towards it. But like you could tell a
couple of years ago, was too soon right certain things,
certain reactions he would have after games. He would say, yeah,
he's not quite there yet. I think we're anointing him
before he is ready to assume that now he's ready.
(20:44):
Everything I have seen from You've seen from him over
the course of the past year, plus, the way he's
he doggedly tried to come back to get ready to
get back in the game. There was supposed to be
a month. That it was two weeks, then it was
a week, and now he wound up missing you know what,
six days or whatever it was overall, and he comes
back to play. Okay with coming off the bench, Okay
with coming off the bench two days. It's just a
(21:04):
different time for him now. And this is where, hey,
you want to talk about a guy who could become
the face of the league at some point. Now is
when we have that conversation. We wanted it too much
for him because it's like, wow, we got to have
somebody right like Lebron is You can tell that Lebron
is kind of slowing down a little bit. They're not
going far in the playoffs. Who's the next star that's
really really exciting?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I don't know. Oh and Edwards? Oh and Edwards.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's got the sweat band on his
arm like Jordan did, has a familiar, very similar kind
of game. He's an assassin on the floor. Yeah, it's
an Edwards but like we wanted it and the media
wanted it for him too much. But now seeing his
maturity in the last couple of years, now it's his time.
Now I feel really comfortable with him and being the
guy that. Okay, now he will take that next step
(21:49):
into being that player, a guy with plenty off the
court and the tabloidal stuff that gets people a little
bit riled up, and we'll leave that there. Just gotta
make men of that in terms of his personal handling
of things at times. But from a basketball competitor, Look,
we always do this, it's always the comparison to the greatest, Right,
(22:11):
how was this guy? I mean, Fernanda Mendoz already doing
it and he's going to work for Tom Brady. That's
not what you want, right, It's not immediately let's grab
Jordan led to grab you know, the greatest in each
professional sport. Well, this guy's gonna be the next messy.
That's not fair to a kid, is wrong. Make sure
he's not Carlos Mendoza first, then he could be somebody. Ah,
(22:33):
look what you did there? No, well, I mean, look,
you had to do it. But but for Anthony Edwards, Yeah,
I mean, we watched him to take on that role,
and even though he'll still clash with Finch at times,
it's it's in the spirit of, hey, we need to
be better, we need to be more buttoned up and
taking on the role that he has that one to
one here, four point game midway through the third third
(22:55):
quarter and giving everything they can to when bin Yama
in company, because when Minyama's always the extra cell right
foreign player and he's seven to nine, relatability becomes one
of those difficulty and he reads in America, if a
one hundred and forty characters of a tweet or a
(23:17):
quickly you know subtitle of tickdowk video, people are reading
a lot in that regard. So the opportunity is certainly there.
And for the Timberwolves, we have the same question we've
talked about with a number of these squads, not a
lot of depth. Notice that we keep going back to that.
In the NFL, I'll talk a lot about offensive line
depth and next man up and can you keep five
(23:39):
guys and a cohesive line? Here? Do we have anybody
beyond the sixth guy that can give you meaningful minutes
in a close.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Hard fought game.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So you're still kind of fresh down the stretch that
remains to be seen. So to continue on positivity Frauday,
obviously with the Knicks up three zipp, its all positivity.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
We talked last hour about how you know what no
one's saying anymore? Boy, the Knicks, miss Tips, boy TIBs,
and Mike Brown. I don't know no one's saying that anymore.
Everybody stopped with, Oh, is Mike Brown the right guy? No,
it looks like Mike Brown.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Is the right guy.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Knicks up three zip over Philadelphia. The team is playing
at its highest level that they have played at in
the last three years.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Have you texted him yet?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
They are playing I told you Frostburg game four. The
job is not done, all right? Game four? After game four,
then I'll text my See. I know you were worried
after game four.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
But the big thing we have made one after game four.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I think he's just owing to the number of coaches
he screwed through the years and interviews on the show
just after after game Wait, hey, you're number one in
the country.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Man, you're number one in the country. Coach.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Congratulations you did you went, mister T and Rocky Shirt, Hey, hey, Hey, hey, woman,
what's come home? We'll see a real man. I'll show
you a real man, Philly are all that is true?
That is true, is absolutely true. But but for Mike Brown,
you can unders dan the reticence because there's been great
regular season success at times, not a lot of postseasons excess.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Right, But but no one's saying that now, right because
look at where the Knicks are. You what else nobody
is saying else? Nobody is saying that.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Everybody is saying that. Everybody, everybody, I feel like Trump.
Everybody's saying it. Everybody's saying it. Uh, you know what
else nobody is saying the Uh?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
You know, nobody's saying that.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
You know, Uh, the Knicks really they're never gonna win
if jalenn is their best player?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Are you doing this? They need mine need they need more,
they need more. No one's saying that now. No one's
saying that because Jalen Brunson is closing games, he's closing series.
He was looking tonight again when things got a little dicey.
Who hit all the shots? Jalen Brunson. I mean, I
don't know what else the guy needs to do. I
get that it's built in that he's small and and
maybe the guy's the smartest guy in the league. It's wait,
(25:54):
he's the smartest guy. You couldn't get into that net
game smart. I don't think he was the one. He
he couldn't, he couldn't get his guys in.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
I think I don't think he was. Jalen got enough
to help us out here that he wasn't. I don't think, yeah, exactly,
you don't know he was.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I think it was Landry Shammitt, and he took out
his frustrations on the Sixers tonight. Oh no, let me
in the metcalap What should I do to the Sixers
in Game three? I also have to remind you going
going towards the end of round one, called to sack
you were you were killing off everybody, And I think Brunson, I.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Don't even think he was saying. I think you were
ready to.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Forsake him to it. It was stop it was e
b B. Everybody but Brunson that it was EBB. But
no one's saying that now because you can win a champion.
Jalen Brunson just is that good. I get that he's
not fast, I get that he's not someone that's physically dominant,
but getting making hitting the big shots. I don't know
(26:50):
what else you want excitement wise, at the end of
the game, the guy closes, he hits big threes.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Right.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
How mad was I when he committed that bad turnover
in the middle of the fourth quarter where board we
could push the lead out to seven, and instead the
Sixers got a dunk and cut it to four. I
was like, oh, man, but then what do you do?
He came down, give me the ball. He hits a three.
Now the lead is back up the set off distance.
It's like, man, I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
The guy, Yeah, you were ready to break one of
our TVs. And the guy is not good.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
He is.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
He is a player that you need to watch it
and get the nuances of his game and understand how
a guy that size, not that physical gets his shots
off and is able to to hit threes and still
create space the way he does.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
I get that.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
He's He's not the guy that's gonna jump out of
the jam. He's not Edwards, He's not one of those guys.
I understand that. But for all the for all of that,
it's you know, I would want to think that that
experts and people that get paid for their opinions. Would
understand just how good the guy is.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Thing. But now everybody's got to back away from it
because now you can't say all the Knicks can't win
without Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Clearly they can clearly.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Well. The one thing that I think everybody would have
to agree with is Rare is the guy in the NBA.
Now we've got a cup, love him and his story.
There are some all time greats and they rise to
that moment. Jalen Brunson has no conscience. So like if
he's having a bad shooting game, he still wants the ball.
He's still trying to be the finisher and trying to
(28:12):
be a leader. Other guys shrink away right, pass the
ball out, you take the shot. You do that, Brunson,
you know you're getting the honest forty eight minutes or
whatever portion. He's gonna play less under Brown than Thibodeau,
which means he's not tripping over his tongue necessarily in
the same way and defensive laps as we talk about
(28:33):
that all the time. But they've been more committed, they've
been cleaned up in that regard better team defense. This
last four to six weeks and certainly in this playoff
run against the Sixers. But for Jalen Brunston, yeah, there's
the appreciation because it cuts both ways, right, It's either
he's too small when you're losing, or how great is
it that this small guy that doesn't look like he
(28:54):
should be running point for a team in New York
is performing well. It's the it's both sides of that coin,
and depending on which way it goes, it becomes a
very easy lane for folks to take. Ah, he can't
get it down, he's too small. It's gonna be great
here in the flip side at beginning next week because
luckily for everybody, Friday night's like, well, you know the
thing about the you know the thing is, Jalen Brunson
(29:15):
is just so good and now the supporting cast around
him is doing oh oh, okay, okay, okay. But at
least I don't have to hear you can't win with
Jalen Brunston as your best player.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I'm glad. I'm glad we can't hear that.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Oh. I mean, here's the thing though, I mean, and
maybe you haven't heard it yet because they haven't wont
anything yet except for the you know the fugazy mid
season tournament that.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Hey, the Knicks are trying to go back to back. Man,
it's hard to go back.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
It is hard.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Everybody's gunning for the King, there's no question about it.
Time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. But guy has been called the Mike
Brown of Fox Sports Radio. He has glasses too.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
That was my guess.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
By the way, you were talking about the NBA Draft
lottery coming up this weekend. The programming is even and
worse than we thought. It's actually gonna air before the
next game starts, not between games, so it's noon Pacific.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It's gonna be after Little House on the Prairie and
before Fresh Prince of bel Air.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
So all those Sunday morning programs, I mean, like there's
a local news and then to make a wish special,
all of that throughout the Sunday morning. Well after the
political shows are on, then we'll get to some basketball
programming and noon Pacific the draft lottery. The actual first
round of the NBA Draft is June twenty third, next
(30:33):
week in Chicago's the NBA Draft Combine. About seventy five
players have been invited to that there are a couple
more NBA playoff games Tomorrow. Detroit, up two games to none,
plays at Cleveland. Oklahoma City, up two games to none,
is at the Lakers. Knicks are up three games to
none after winning at Philadelphia Tonight one eight ninety four.
Jalen Brunson thirty three points, nine assists in Knick's postseason history,
(30:57):
the record for most double digit in a single postseason
nineteen seventy, they had six. Tonight was their sixth of
this run. San Antonio is at Minnesota. Tonight's winner goes
up two games to one, and it's the Spurs in
the lead. Late third quarter seventy seven to seventy for
the Timberwolves, twenty three points for Anthony Edwards, but the
(31:18):
rest of the team sixteen for forty seven from the floor.
Victor Webbanyama twenty one points for the Spurs, nine rebounds.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
All of that.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Early in the game, Iowa was finalizing a new six
year deal with coach Ben McCollum. The Hawkeys just made
the Elite eight for the first time since nineteen eighty
seven in a WNBA season opener in New York Liberty
over Connecticut one oh six seventy five. Sabrina Ydescu was
out with a foot injury. Breanna Stewart thirty one points.
Washington won an expansion. Toronto missed sixty eight sixty five
(31:52):
and it's Golden State leading at Seattle late third quarter
sixty nine to fifty three. Four more WNBA games on
Saturday and four or on Sunday. In the NHL playoffs,
end of two, Vegas up five to nothing at Anaheim,
ready to go up two games to one. Montreal a
five to one winner at Buffalo tonight. That second round
series tied at a game apiece. In Major League Baseball,
(32:15):
Mets at Diamondbacks still tied one to one going to
the eighth. Nolan McClain was the Mets starting pitcher, six
strikeouts in six innings. He did allow the tying homer
in the second to Nolan Arenado of the d Becks.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
That is, the.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Other New York team in Blue and Orange is up
three zip in their series.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
That's more important. Do they have a team in the UFL?
Did I miss something? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
They do?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
You missed that? Did you miss that? Yuh?
Speaker 6 (32:40):
If you missed, and it's streaming only, so I'm sure
you did. If you miss the play. In San Diego,
the Cardinals are up six to nothing against the Padres,
largely because with bases loaded, there was a base hit.
To write, Fernando Tatist Junior runs up to field, the
ball completely missed it and the ball rolled all the
way to the wall. All four excluding the batter score.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Two more people off the bench ran and that was
the six runs if they could have.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
It's seventh inning, six nothing, Cardinals in the lead. At
San Diego. The Braves and Chris Sale tied one to
one at the Dodgers in the bottom of the fifth inning,
the Giants and pitcher Robbie Ray lead to one over
the Pirates top of the sixth. The Cubs last month
had a ten game winning streak. They just won their
tenth straight game. Yeah it's May. They've done it again.
(33:25):
Seven to won the final Cubs at Texas. Seattle won
at the White Sox twelve eight as the Mariners. Luke
Rayley had a grand Slam and a three run homer.
Milwaukee shut out the Yankee six nothing. The win to
Jacob Mazerowski, who was incredible, throwing it one hundred three
miles an hour in the first inning. He wound up
with six scoreless innings eleven strikeouts. According to the Great

least one hundred two miles an hour? The answer is

Yep, we got cheating ref Sauce.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
Spursly Timbrels right now eighty six seventy nine. That game
is headed to the fourth quarter, aysen, Have they suspended
the reft from last night's game yet? Uh?
Speaker 3 (35:08):

Speaker 1 (35:09):
What what I don't know if you know, Alex resso
them yet Alex Caruso is actually going to get to
officiate game three when he's not playing. Have they done
like the the hot lead down their throat yet? No?
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I don't think they're probably waiting for you to do that.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
About the boulder from like the top of the mountain,
right on the head.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Nicely going. Now we're going straight on. Wiley came out.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
They didn't deserved You clearly didn't watch last night. Yay,
I did watch it. I watched the gift that you
sent me that had all of the starting five of
the thunder in Referee's pretty good a.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Gift that's an actual photo.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
And then the AI of Coaches handed over twenty dollars bills.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Oh that was great. Yeah, Danielle given the man about
midmar and they jump off the cliff.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Okay, this is something nicely done. Yeah, jumping off the
cliff onto the bowl like they're a cabo, like they're
the cliff divers.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Hey, you ever wear a bear suit like that? No?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
No, And I don't think I did see people wearing
two people Halloween this year, one wearing a bear suit,
the other one wearing the flower crowd.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
I said, very nice, very nice, thank you. Uh well, well,
Florence Pugh wins.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
They're supposed to say, not the bear. The bear doesn't
win the Bears.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
You know, the Bears have been the beneficiary of helpful officiating.
The Bears clearly were paralyzed in their final playoff game
as they laid on a burning field.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
And about sums it up nice. So yeah, there you
have it.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
The Bears took the U and felt no pain. Then
they took the l. Oh.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
That's really in deep on the end. That was next
level stuff, aren't there you?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Yeah, twenty four hours at the official blasting and you
just can't lose a game anymore.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
No, in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Playoffs, major League Baseball, there's always somebody to be well,
especially when your tired team is surrounding the referees like
it's a high school around a guy's locker that they
want to beat up. That's just like Lebron doing the
the head nod the whole time. Has those refs have
their skin taken off with a hot comb yet. No,
that's gonna be right before Game three. That's right, that's
(37:18):
a new one. I heard that one and good. And
why did you bring in hot coal tonight?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Hot comb? Oh hot comb? I think you said hot cold.
It's a hot comb. Oh hot comb?
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Okay, wow, seeking you know, thing is, I'm not big
on combs, haven't used one in like twenty years, so
I don't care that away.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I don't really know hot comb. No, no, no, not whole thing.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Not me. I was gonna make another Combs joke, too tough. Uh.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Now, earlier today, you know we mentioned this. It's been
a thing all this week.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Stephen A.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Smith and Skip Bayless reunited on first Take right, whole
big thing. Skip Bayless, who was here at Fox for
a long time and then let go, and Steven a
who was there running on YouTube in the morning and
thursdays about fantasy football. I guarantee you, I guarantee you.
Skip is trying to find a way to get back
(38:10):
to ESPN, to get on the air and doing the
show again with Steven Asmith. I guarantee you that's what
he's trying to do, right because he went, he left,
we went from I'm at Fox and then Shannon. Then
he upset Shannon Sharp, Shannon Sharp left, who has been
going through issues of his own. And that was the
beginning of the end for Skip Bayless. When when when
he when he insulted Shannon Sharp, who is a Hall
(38:32):
of Famer, and he said, you're not a Hall of
Famer like Tom Brady and Shannon I thought wanted to
kill the guy. That was the end of Skip Bayless.
That was the beginning again, We're okay, he's not coming
back from that, because that's just ridiculously disrespectful of a
guy that you are debating all the time. Now because
I want to say this, because now I'm sure Skip
is desperate to get back to doing this right. He's
(38:52):
someone that's going to be going. He can't let it go.
He's somebody that can't let it go. If this becomes
a thing again, it won't be the same. It's never
the same for anything a second time around.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
It never is.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
And to think that, oh, the world is waiting for
Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless to get back together,
we're not. I know nobody is.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Yes, there was.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Attention on it, but I saw where it was trending
after it happened today, and Skip Bayless barely barely made
the United States trip, barely. It was like usually when
Skip says something crazy and outlandish, it's at the top
of my feet.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
I see it. Barely made it today. And they went
to the hole.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Where does Lebron rank for in overall the best players
of all these he's ninth. Right, let me try the
hottest of hot takes. I could possibly let me go
back to my hating of Lebron to get me back
so people start talking about me.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
No one is.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Pining for that era. We still get debate shows. We
get debate shows where people disagree. There's no oh man,
there's no there's no oh there's no sense of.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
The past.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
There's no sense of retro. There's no sense of, Oh,
this is something I really like and I can't wait
for two back. I can get that anywhere. Yeah, they
pioneered what went on in the last you know, fifteen
years of embracing debate on the radio on television. But
now that's become a thing and we're sort of moving
away from that a little bit. People want a little
bit more substance, and there's new personalities coming in. There's
(40:18):
no cry for this. If this happens again, it won't
be what you think it is. And I'm telling for
ee this, for everybody. It's just not going to be
the second time for anything.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Never is. Yeah. I mean when we look at it,
depending on you, if you read the trades at all,
and this is the you know, the old inside Baseball
kind of thing that the ratings for a number of
the other ESPN shows were rising, and guess what wasn't
Steven As That's the guy you're paying a lot of
money to.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
So what do you do? You go gimmick, right.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
I saw some folks suggesting immediately after this, before ratings
are even out, it's like, do you extend the olive branch?
Try to figure out how to get Shannon Sharp back
on sets and get him back in the building in
good graces and to where it becomes a rotational thing.
In the end, it's not my cup of tea. We
got plenty of hot take, nonsense and performative takes out there.
(41:10):
Regardless of where you're turning out the dial, you're gonna
find them. Guys are playing characters like their WWE superstars,
and that's just the way it is.

We say, that's the money we spent was for the
gift cards for but she thought like I. I turned
to Pam and I said, we didn't even need.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
That's all.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
It was that you could email all time. And she
loved it, loved it, loved it. I mean it was
she loved sending emails. She was and she wasn't someone
that would send forwards. She would just email back and forth.
I can send you a note and get something back
like within h you know.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
An hour, maybe I go all right, well not always
on email, not on that time, but yeah, sure, yes, absolutely,
like within a day.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Yeah, you send me an email and I'll send you
an email back and all this.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I'm like, wow, we got I still
think about that.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
I still think about like that.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
I know what it was like one hundred dollars hundred
and twenty five dollars or something for it, like we
could have just saved because you could have gone out
to dinner a couple of times. We got you once
because we got you your name with your email. Oh yeah, yeah,
she loved She loved it because it was glorious. Syracuse
was her email, and she loved me. Oh yes, oh
my god, glorious. Say yeah, yeah, yeah, what's your what's
(03:06):
your password? Oh, and like it was fifteen minutes. I
gotta come up with a really good password, like okay,
usually people come up with passwords like within thirty seconds.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
But okay, take your time, Bob.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
But I'll just stand here at the computer center, at
the computer with a poised over what you want in
your email to be when it says confirmed passwords, I'm
just gonna stay right here.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
You tell me what you want. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
When I worked at Yahoo, we we'd do a lot
of testing before the launch of a new fantasy game,
right as would come into a football season, and we
had a couple of accounts that we would use, and
one of the guys I worked with, it was always
about the last Stanley Cup for the New York Rangers
was the password, no matter what account, no matter what
we needed to access, I always knew. I didn't even
(03:47):
have to ask, Like I knew nineteen forty. I am
going all the way back to nineteen with a bunch
of other letters and symbols or whatever. But it was
just funny as hell. An he goes you it's got something.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
To do with Baines.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Ah, Baines three try three Banes try h Baines try
hal Bans try hal Baines three try three hal Banes
try Halbanes h o f try.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Baines eighth f age dh h. There's see.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
That's the thing is like, even if I guess, I
guess it was something to do with Harold Baines, I'm like, boy,
it could be anything.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Oh no, it's a million. It's a million. Yeah, No,
that's a long time to guess.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Man like like, oh, it's actually a stat line from
the nineteen eighty one season.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
It's a celebration of the home run he hit to
end a twenty inning game when the reporters said to him, hey, Harold,
you really got all of that one. He looked at him,
looked around the room and said, evidently it's three two
eight three two one one seven.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
What is that? Well?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
He had three twenty eight with thirty one home runs
and one hundred and seventeen RBIs three two eight, three
one one one seven. There it is right there, right now.
I guarantee you I just put somebody's password out on
the air something. But as that passed, it's true and
it's their stats from from their best year, from their
best year. Guarantee now, just because it's a big NBA night. Yeah, huge,
you know, even though the cerpients have something cooking, yes listen, yes,
(05:08):
the Mets, Yes, Nolan mclin.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
It upsets me a tiny bit. But I have too
much going on with the Knicks right now. I am
too locked in on the Knicks. I don't have time
for a lot of other things in my life right now.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
But they changed their team name to defeat you. Yeah, yeah,
but that's okay, seven piente. Yeah, you knowhoul change your
team name seventy six ers. You know they should change
it instead of seventy six they should be zho and four.
Oh too soon, too soon, You're so soon. You're just
enjoying this, perhaps a little bit too much. Gotta be careful.
(05:37):
The basketball gods do not wish to be It's like
a happy fun ball. Yeah, you know the old Saturday
Night Live. Do not taunt fun But I'm really but
I'm so locked in in the moment. I don't have
time for a lot of other things. I'm so locked
in on the Knicks that it's like, okay, Like when
Pam says, hey, can we go to Costco today and
then do this and I'm like, yeah, yeah, sure because
(05:58):
there's no game today, or you say, hey, this is
not a good sample day. No I'm not going. No,
like be ten o'clock in the morning and like it.
I'll get up and I'll you know, check the world
is there and start, you know, prep write out or note.
We're gonna you know, stuff topics and stuff for the night.
We send it you and I start sending text and
emails you me and Frostburg like okay, She's hey, can
we do Costco? And then uh, Trader Joe's, and then
(06:18):
I might have to go to Target. I'm like, yeah,
no game today, We're good. You're like, I don't know that.
I'm gonna have enough time. Good get a depot in there,
but no, no home.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
No home.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Depot is more of a weekend thing. It's a weekend thing.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
But on a day where there's a game and the
games at four it's ten o'clock, can we do that? No, can't,
But we have six hours. I go, yeah, no, I'm
just locked in. We could do one of those things,
but I need to get back and just sit and
just sit and have just nothing go through my head
while I just look at the clock, getting ready for
four o'clock. Maybe we can stream a couple of shows
(06:50):
that we've been watching. But I'm really not gonna pay
that much attention because I'm locked in on the next.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Like I got a stretch, I got a hydrate. Yeah
I can't.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
I mean, I mean I'm ready. I mean really, Alame
is not shooting a movie now he knows you can't
do it. He's locked in on the next. Everybody Tracy
Morgan at that he's not doing. They're not shooting the
Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins that you can't do.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
What.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Congratulations on the renewal though, Yeah, that's funny showing with
suddenly everybody kind of recognizing how talented that Radcliffe really is.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
It's a really it's a really fits well done.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Yeah. Uh, And Daniel Radcliffe kind of grows into the
role like midway point of the season because Tracy Morgan
carries the whole thing. Oh he's amazing. I mean good
to see him back in h you know, in that comfort.
Some of the stuff he says, just like, the guy's
a genius, right, He's just absolutely a genius.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
But now we can't.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Work because he's he's got to go to the next
he's locked in on the next. Think about every contract
you're signing for a movie or TV show not shooting.
We're not what he's out.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Like, you're calling Chalamey's agent.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Hi, this is Steven Spielberg. Oh is that Steven Spielberg?
Say no, this is Stephen himself. I want to shoot
a movie. I want Shalomey to be my star. It's
gonna be a big thing. When do you want to
start shooting. Well, we're gonna start sometime in the next
couple of weeks. Yeah, you know, Tim's gonna take a
little bit of time right now. Uh don't know how long,
but he's got a real busy next couple of weeks. Well,
I watch all I see him is he's a sidelines
(08:08):
at the Knicks games.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Yeah, that's Tim's focus right now. And and and we're
just gonna let him do that. And then you know
we're gonna hit him up after the next season is over.
That that's when it's gonna happen again. Oh well, all right, so.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
People see him in a positive light here. It kind
of pushes away from that ballet story.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
But I but I really want to start shooting this movie. Listen,
you know what, we got Zac Efron as a client
to why don't we give you Zac's number?
Speaker 3 (08:29):
He's forty now did you know that?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Like Zach is forty some odd years old, he's not
twenty three. He's not Troy anymore. Yeah, but he showed
you that he can a mote too. You saw von
Eric move. Yeah, I used to be a brother.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
Okay, I actually had another, uh project in mind for
Zach Efron, so you know, I'll never mind. Hey, you
know what, we also we represent Zach Braff.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Uh. He's done shooting that scrubs Rey, but yeah, you
know what, I'll call you back for Tim in a couple.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
Of weeks, call him back for Shallowby shadow By.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
That got renews for season two h as well, So
he doesn't have time, shallabay nobody? Ann Hathaway has no time. Luckily,
Devilwaar's Produc two is out. She's done all the push
forward because now it's next time. Now he understands, well,
she's got all sorts of other movies. She got like
four other movies coming out. She had another area that
came out in mid April ahead of Devilware's Product two.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I mean she's locked in on the NEX thing.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Now, big NFL story today, and it doesn't come without
a caveat.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
The Jets re signed Breese Hall two years. Basically, it's
a two year deal, fourteen and a half million dollars
a year. Right, it's a three see And here's the
thing is that, Like, I'm excited about this, but I
shake my head because this is a typical Jets thing
to do. Right, Is Brice Hall a really good running back?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Did they do the right thing and keeping Breeze Hall
by giving them a contract now, because Jean Robinson's coming
up for a new deal, and so is Jamiir Gibbs,
and these guys are gonna get upwards of twenty million
dollars a year's running backs. Absolutely, So yeah, you get
Breese Hall's one of the top I would say, one
of the top ten running backs in the game running
for one thousand yards on that craptastic Jets team last year.
(10:06):
That's a pretty big accomplishment. So, yeah, you kept a playmaker,
you gave him a second contract. It's a good thing
to tell your your free agents. Hey, you can see
a second contract here him and Garrett Wilson got the
second contracts. Right, everything makes sense except because you know
there's a butt, because you know the Jets can't have
to have things.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Is that? Okay? What's the main thing for the Jets
this year?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Get a quarterback right, finish low enough where you can
get one of the six or seven quarterbacks who right
now project to be top half of the first round picks.
Not just arch Manning or Dante Moore or Leonora's sellers,
maybe sores B who he might be a supplemental guy
if he loses his eligibility. But there's six or seven
(10:48):
guys that you are seeing every single analyst say, these
guys right now are all first round talents. Now, not
every guy is going to be a first round talent.
Some guys like Kate club Nick looked like they're a
first round talent, but they play way into the later
end of the draft.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
You see that every time Garrett nus Meyer could have
been a first round pick, but again way later.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Struggle got hurt multiple times. Yeah, you know how it's.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
Good, But right now you are seeing this and arch
Manning and Dante Moore are what are seen as these
are two generational type quarterbacks. Franchise type quarterbacks. You gotta
make sure you are finishing low enough that you can
get one of them. You have the draft picks next
year if you want to move up to a team
that's picking second, that as a quarterback that just had
a bad year. Hey, here's our number six pick and
our number fourteen pick and our number thirty three pick. Okay, great,
(11:31):
you got the second pick and get your quarterback right.
It's so important. You got to get your quarterback right.
But what did the Jets do this offseason? Because the
goals of the organization don't match the goals of Darren
Muji and Aaron Glenn, which is, we want to keep
our jobs after this year. So we got to win
because they blew it so badly last year and they
were terrible and now it's okay, well I want to
(11:52):
keep my job. We got to win this year. So
what did they do? They went out and made smart
signings in free agency. Now, the draft was great, you
drafted great player, as supposed to do that. But they
one out and they sign guys good enough defensively in
free agency and the draft they did, they'll be good
enough to finish tenth with a tenth overall. Pick right,
they'll win six games, six this games, and that's gonna
be ten to fifteen. How is that gonna get them
(12:15):
their quarterback?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
It's how we gotta find a way to try to
move up even further from there from ten, Like the
needs of the organization should always be in line, and
they don't meet the needs of the head coach in
the GM. And this is where if Woody Johnson was
a good owner, he would say, Hey, we're just gonna
do what the Dolphins did. And that's like, let everybody
go bring in a quarterback who's not gonna be any good,
(12:36):
not really give them a ton of money for a
couple of years, and we're gonna have arch Manning next year.
Everybody in Miami is on board. That's why they should
have ate all of to his money this year. Because
you're gonna be bad anyway. Why not just say, yeah,
we're gonna do it this year. You know it's gonna
be a rough year, but the prize after this year
could be arch Manning and we're great for a decade,
or Dante Moore, whoever you want to fill in there.
The Dolphins are doing it right now here. The Jets
(12:57):
all because we gotta save our jobs. This is what
we're doing. Like they got it. You gotta sync up.
Miami new head coach knew everything. Yes, they're keeping Devon
h N Okay, you're keeping a running back. You can
still deal him with the deadline. Yes, that's all good. Right,
you can still do that. But they are more in
line with we know what we need to do and
what this year is all about. And the Jets were well,
(13:20):
we thought that was last year, but no, it was
so bad. But with your first year head coach, and
he was so bad, and the GM brought some talent
in but it didn't matter. Now their needs and what
they want to do are different. And because Woody Johnson
is the worst owner in the NFL, yeah, we gotta
try to win. No, dude, you got you gotta have
a vision. You gotta have a vision for what your
team needs.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
The problem is that you had all the big splash
moments with the Giants this last year, right when he
wasn't in a blue tan Jackson Dart looked pretty good
at times. Scat of him when he was healthy look
pretty good at time. Now you've made some extra additions
and you changed out the head coach to a guy
who's what's that word good? Yeah, So all of that
to say, hey, Woody Johnson recognizes that on the back
(14:03):
of the fish raps that you're getting obliterated because your
team still looks like it's running in mud or has
been fossilized. And so what do you do? You try
to bring your level of competency. Problem is, you're in
division with a team that decided to go all in.
As you mentioned with the Miami Dolphins, eight Chan won't
(14:23):
be there or shouldn't be there in the grand scheme
of this, and spending money on Malik Willis' is more,
I think, just to keep the NFL leaving them alone
in terms of tanking.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Now, No, look, we.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Got our legit potential quarterback of the future. You saw
how good he was in those thirty passes he threw
this year. He's fantastic, and he knows the coach and
all of this stuff, and that's all fine and good,
and maybe he will be Maybe Milik Willis will be
a good middle of the road quarterback with some upside.
We'll see, but all in for the Jets, you're just
(14:56):
stuck in no man's land. Right, you're over under I
think is five and a half wins the year, and
you'll be just good enough with those skill position players
to win six games.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Now I think Frostburg might have this right.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Is because of the price of poker for running backs
keeps going up, that you may have contenders knocking on
your door to take on that contract because it's not egregious, right,
it's not completely over the top. And we've seen how
the offensive weapon instead of running back is the term
you want to use now, which is why you know
Jeremiah Love ends up getting drafted third and gets his
(15:31):
big contract and guarantees and everything else, that maybe you'll
have someone come over the top once you realize, hey,
you know what, we could use an extra draft pick
maybe to package and be ready to move up in
the draft if we need to.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah, because now you've made him more attractive at the
deadline to where you can get more because teams say, well, okay,
we're paying the rest of this year than fourteen and
a half million for next year. We can exercise the
option on the third year if we want to. We
don't have to.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
Now we're not just renting a guy, We're getting a
guy we think can be someone for the next year
and a half, and now the Jets get a better
draft pick for it. But I mean, really, this is
the Jets can't do it right. They can't ever get
on the same page what the organization needs right.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
That's what it is.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It's why Gino Smith's gonna be your quarterback for the
next five years. That's the one thing that's gonna help
you keep from winning too many games. Hi knees exit

Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show is My Best Friend,
Mike Harmon update right now from the NBA. Six minutes
to go in the third quarter. Got a great one
between the Spurs and the t Wolves, seventy two to
sixty eight. San Antonio with the lead, Wemby Tonight nineteen
(18:16):
points nine rebounds, two blocks back in the starting lineup.
How many goaltends and Edward twelve goaltends twelve goaltends Tonight
and Edwards leading the way twenty three points nine out
of seventeen From the floor, ten rebounds, got a couple
assists as well.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Great game.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
This is where the Spurs either take back home court
or the t Wolves get to within one game of.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
A stranglehold on the series three to one lead.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And really this series has become about two people over
the course of the past couple of days.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Right, it's Wemby and it's Awards.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Edward's coming back and getting back into the swing after
being hurt, coming off the bench, now starting again and
Wemby and and the continued push of Wemby is the
best player in the NBA. Now. He talked a lot
about Wemby this week, Right, we talked a lot about Wemby.
But just because it's Friday, positivity Friday.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
So we're gonna talk about Uh, this is.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Aunt Edwards's time. This is his time. Two years ago
was too soon. Two years ago it was we're looking
for somebody in the playoffs, and oh, I think he's
the next Michael Jordan. Okay, let's let's take it easy
on that. And he wasn't ready for.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
That, right, But now here you are two years later,
and Edwards, this is his time.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
He talks more like a leader. You hear him say
things like, Hey, what what are you gonna do coming back?
Whatever coach wants, right, Chris Finch, who he openly feuded
with over the course the last couple of years, where
he was listening.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
To him or not well.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Even in post game after Game two, we had some
response to coaches.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Yeah coach's presser. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
But still you hear him say things like yeah, whatever
coach needs you. Hear the way the players respond to
him in when he returns to play, Oh, I can't
believe ant's doing this and coming back. He works hard,
he does all of this. These are not things you
heard a couple of years ago. When we first went
it was hey, here come the Tea Wolves. Here's a
big run in the playoffs. The Tea Wolves in the
(20:22):
thunder will look like they were gonna be the two
teams to dominate the league in the next few years.
The thunder Of continued on that path. Minnesota is kind
of meandering towards it. But like you could tell a
couple of years ago, was too soon right certain things,
certain reactions he would have after games. He would say, yeah,
he's not quite there yet. I think we're anointing him
before he is ready to assume that now he's ready.
(20:44):
Everything I have seen from You've seen from him over
the course of the past year, plus, the way he's
he doggedly tried to come back to get ready to
get back in the game. There was supposed to be
a month. That it was two weeks, then it was
a week, and now he wound up missing you know what,
six days or whatever it was overall, and he comes
back to play. Okay with coming off the bench, Okay
with coming off the bench two days. It's just a
(21:04):
different time for him now. And this is where, hey,
you want to talk about a guy who could become
the face of the league at some point. Now is
when we have that conversation. We wanted it too much
for him because it's like, wow, we got to have
somebody right like Lebron is You can tell that Lebron
is kind of slowing down a little bit. They're not
going far in the playoffs. Who's the next star that's
really really exciting?
Speaker 3 (21:25):
I don't know. Oh and Edwards? Oh and Edwards.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's got the sweat band on his
arm like Jordan did, has a familiar, very similar kind
of game. He's an assassin on the floor. Yeah, it's
an Edwards but like we wanted it and the media
wanted it for him too much. But now seeing his
maturity in the last couple of years, now it's his time.
Now I feel really comfortable with him and being the
guy that. Okay, now he will take that next step
(21:49):
into being that player, a guy with plenty off the
court and the tabloidal stuff that gets people a little
bit riled up, and we'll leave that there. Just gotta
make men of that in terms of his personal handling
of things at times. But from a basketball competitor, Look,
we always do this, it's always the comparison to the greatest, Right,
(22:11):
how was this guy? I mean, Fernanda Mendoz already doing
it and he's going to work for Tom Brady. That's
not what you want, right, It's not immediately let's grab
Jordan led to grab you know, the greatest in each
professional sport. Well, this guy's gonna be the next messy.
That's not fair to a kid, is wrong. Make sure
he's not Carlos Mendoza first, then he could be somebody. Ah,
(22:33):
look what you did there? No, well, I mean, look,
you had to do it. But but for Anthony Edwards, Yeah,
I mean, we watched him to take on that role,
and even though he'll still clash with Finch at times,
it's it's in the spirit of, hey, we need to
be better, we need to be more buttoned up and
taking on the role that he has that one to
one here, four point game midway through the third third
(22:55):
quarter and giving everything they can to when bin Yama
in company, because when Minyama's always the extra cell right
foreign player and he's seven to nine, relatability becomes one
of those difficulty and he reads in America, if a
one hundred and forty characters of a tweet or a
(23:17):
quickly you know subtitle of tickdowk video, people are reading
a lot in that regard. So the opportunity is certainly there.
And for the Timberwolves, we have the same question we've
talked about with a number of these squads, not a
lot of depth. Notice that we keep going back to that.
In the NFL, I'll talk a lot about offensive line
depth and next man up and can you keep five
(23:39):
guys and a cohesive line? Here? Do we have anybody
beyond the sixth guy that can give you meaningful minutes
in a close.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Hard fought game.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
So you're still kind of fresh down the stretch that
remains to be seen. So to continue on positivity Frauday,
obviously with the Knicks up three zipp, its all positivity.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
We talked last hour about how you know what no
one's saying anymore? Boy, the Knicks, miss Tips, boy TIBs,
and Mike Brown. I don't know no one's saying that anymore.
Everybody stopped with, Oh, is Mike Brown the right guy? No,
it looks like Mike Brown.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Is the right guy.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Knicks up three zip over Philadelphia. The team is playing
at its highest level that they have played at in
the last three years.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Have you texted him yet?
Speaker 1 (24:22):
They are playing I told you Frostburg game four. The
job is not done, all right? Game four? After game four,
then I'll text my See. I know you were worried
after game four.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
But the big thing we have made one after game four.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
I think he's just owing to the number of coaches
he screwed through the years and interviews on the show
just after after game Wait, hey, you're number one in
the country.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Man, you're number one in the country. Coach.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Congratulations you did you went, mister T and Rocky Shirt, Hey, hey, Hey, hey, woman,
what's come home? We'll see a real man. I'll show
you a real man, Philly are all that is true?
That is true, is absolutely true. But but for Mike Brown,
you can unders dan the reticence because there's been great
regular season success at times, not a lot of postseasons excess.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
Right, But but no one's saying that now, right because
look at where the Knicks are. You what else nobody
is saying else? Nobody is saying that.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Stop.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
Everybody is saying that. Everybody, everybody, I feel like Trump.
Everybody's saying it. Everybody's saying it. Uh, you know what
else nobody is saying the Uh?
Speaker 3 (25:21):
You know, nobody's saying that.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
You know, Uh, the Knicks really they're never gonna win
if jalenn is their best player?
Speaker 1 (25:29):
Are you doing this? They need mine need they need more,
they need more. No one's saying that now. No one's
saying that because Jalen Brunson is closing games, he's closing series.
He was looking tonight again when things got a little dicey.
Who hit all the shots? Jalen Brunson. I mean, I
don't know what else the guy needs to do. I
get that it's built in that he's small and and
maybe the guy's the smartest guy in the league. It's wait,
(25:54):
he's the smartest guy. You couldn't get into that net
game smart. I don't think he was the one. He
he couldn't, he couldn't get his guys in.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
I think I don't think he was. Jalen got enough
to help us out here that he wasn't. I don't think, yeah, exactly,
you don't know he was.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
I think it was Landry Shammitt, and he took out
his frustrations on the Sixers tonight. Oh no, let me
in the metcalap What should I do to the Sixers
in Game three? I also have to remind you going
going towards the end of round one, called to sack
you were you were killing off everybody, And I think Brunson, I.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Don't even think he was saying. I think you were
ready to.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Forsake him to it. It was stop it was e
b B. Everybody but Brunson that it was EBB. But
no one's saying that now because you can win a champion.
Jalen Brunson just is that good. I get that he's
not fast, I get that he's not someone that's physically dominant,
but getting making hitting the big shots. I don't know
(26:50):
what else you want excitement wise, at the end of
the game, the guy closes, he hits big threes.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Right.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
How mad was I when he committed that bad turnover
in the middle of the fourth quarter where board we
could push the lead out to seven, and instead the
Sixers got a dunk and cut it to four. I
was like, oh, man, but then what do you do?
He came down, give me the ball. He hits a three.
Now the lead is back up the set off distance.
It's like, man, I mean.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
The guy, Yeah, you were ready to break one of
our TVs. And the guy is not good.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
He is.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
He is a player that you need to watch it
and get the nuances of his game and understand how
a guy that size, not that physical gets his shots
off and is able to to hit threes and still
create space the way he does.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
I get that.
Speaker 4 (27:30):
He's He's not the guy that's gonna jump out of
the jam. He's not Edwards, He's not one of those guys.
I understand that. But for all the for all of that,
it's you know, I would want to think that that
experts and people that get paid for their opinions. Would
understand just how good the guy is.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Thing. But now everybody's got to back away from it
because now you can't say all the Knicks can't win
without Jalen Brunson.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
Clearly they can clearly.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Well. The one thing that I think everybody would have
to agree with is Rare is the guy in the NBA.
Now we've got a cup, love him and his story.
There are some all time greats and they rise to
that moment. Jalen Brunson has no conscience. So like if
he's having a bad shooting game, he still wants the ball.
He's still trying to be the finisher and trying to
(28:12):
be a leader. Other guys shrink away right, pass the
ball out, you take the shot. You do that, Brunson,
you know you're getting the honest forty eight minutes or
whatever portion. He's gonna play less under Brown than Thibodeau,
which means he's not tripping over his tongue necessarily in
the same way and defensive laps as we talk about
(28:33):
that all the time. But they've been more committed, they've
been cleaned up in that regard better team defense. This
last four to six weeks and certainly in this playoff
run against the Sixers. But for Jalen Brunston, yeah, there's
the appreciation because it cuts both ways, right, It's either
he's too small when you're losing, or how great is
it that this small guy that doesn't look like he
(28:54):
should be running point for a team in New York
is performing well. It's the it's both sides of that coin,
and depending on which way it goes, it becomes a
very easy lane for folks to take. Ah, he can't
get it down, he's too small. It's gonna be great
here in the flip side at beginning next week because
luckily for everybody, Friday night's like, well, you know the
thing about the you know the thing is, Jalen Brunson
(29:15):
is just so good and now the supporting cast around
him is doing oh oh, okay, okay, okay. But at
least I don't have to hear you can't win with
Jalen Brunston as your best player.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I'm glad. I'm glad we can't hear that.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
Oh. I mean, here's the thing though, I mean, and
maybe you haven't heard it yet because they haven't wont
anything yet except for the you know the fugazy mid
season tournament that.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
Hey, the Knicks are trying to go back to back. Man,
it's hard to go back.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
It is hard.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Everybody's gunning for the King, there's no question about it.
Time now to find out what's trending in the wide
world of sports. But guy has been called the Mike
Brown of Fox Sports Radio. He has glasses too.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
That was my guess.
Speaker 6 (29:54):
By the way, you were talking about the NBA Draft
lottery coming up this weekend. The programming is even and
worse than we thought. It's actually gonna air before the
next game starts, not between games, so it's noon Pacific.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It's gonna be after Little House on the Prairie and
before Fresh Prince of bel Air.
Speaker 6 (30:13):
So all those Sunday morning programs, I mean, like there's
a local news and then to make a wish special,
all of that throughout the Sunday morning. Well after the
political shows are on, then we'll get to some basketball
programming and noon Pacific the draft lottery. The actual first
round of the NBA Draft is June twenty third, next
(30:33):
week in Chicago's the NBA Draft Combine. About seventy five
players have been invited to that there are a couple
more NBA playoff games Tomorrow. Detroit, up two games to none,
plays at Cleveland. Oklahoma City, up two games to none,
is at the Lakers. Knicks are up three games to
none after winning at Philadelphia Tonight one eight ninety four.

(30:57):
the record for most double digit in a single postseason
nineteen seventy, they had six. Tonight was their sixth of
this run. San Antonio is at Minnesota. Tonight's winner goes
up two games to one, and it's the Spurs in
the lead. Late third quarter seventy seven to seventy for
the Timberwolves, twenty three points for Anthony Edwards, but the
(31:18):
rest of the team sixteen for forty seven from the floor.
Victor Webbanyama twenty one points for the Spurs, nine rebounds.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
All of that.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Early in the game, Iowa was finalizing a new six
year deal with coach Ben McCollum. The Hawkeys just made
the Elite eight for the first time since nineteen eighty
seven in a WNBA season opener in New York Liberty
over Connecticut one oh six seventy five. Sabrina Ydescu was
out with a foot injury. Breanna Stewart thirty one points.
Washington won an expansion. Toronto missed sixty eight sixty five
(31:52):
and it's Golden State leading at Seattle late third quarter
sixty nine to fifty three. Four more WNBA games on
Saturday and four or on Sunday. In the NHL playoffs,
end of two, Vegas up five to nothing at Anaheim,
ready to go up two games to one. Montreal a
five to one winner at Buffalo tonight. That second round
series tied at a game apiece. In Major League Baseball,
(32:15):
Mets at Diamondbacks still tied one to one going to
the eighth. Nolan McClain was the Mets starting pitcher, six
strikeouts in six innings. He did allow the tying homer
in the second to Nolan Arenado of the d Becks.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
That is, the.
Speaker 1 (32:30):
Other New York team in Blue and Orange is up
three zip in their series.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
That's more important. Do they have a team in the UFL?
Did I miss something? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:38):
They do?
Speaker 3 (32:38):
You missed that? Did you miss that? Yuh?
Speaker 6 (32:40):
If you missed, and it's streaming only, so I'm sure
you did. If you miss the play. In San Diego,
the Cardinals are up six to nothing against the Padres,
largely because with bases loaded, there was a base hit.
To write, Fernando Tatist Junior runs up to field, the
ball completely missed it and the ball rolled all the
way to the wall. All four excluding the batter score.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Two more people off the bench ran and that was
the six runs if they could have.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
It's seventh inning, six nothing, Cardinals in the lead. At
San Diego. The Braves and Chris Sale tied one to
one at the Dodgers in the bottom of the fifth inning,
the Giants and pitcher Robbie Ray lead to one over
the Pirates top of the sixth. The Cubs last month
had a ten game winning streak. They just won their
tenth straight game. Yeah it's May. They've done it again.

Rayley had a grand Slam and a three run homer.

Spursly Timbrels right now eighty six seventy nine. That game
is headed to the fourth quarter, aysen, Have they suspended
the reft from last night's game yet? Uh?
Speaker 3 (35:08):
No, they've not.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
What what I don't know if you know, Alex resso
them yet Alex Caruso is actually going to get to
officiate game three when he's not playing. Have they done
like the the hot lead down their throat yet? No?
Speaker 3 (35:23):
I don't think they're probably waiting for you to do that.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
About the boulder from like the top of the mountain,
right on the head.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Nicely going. Now we're going straight on. Wiley came out.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
They didn't deserved You clearly didn't watch last night. Yay,
I did watch it. I watched the gift that you
sent me that had all of the starting five of
the thunder in Referee's pretty good a.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Gift that's an actual photo.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
And then the AI of Coaches handed over twenty dollars bills.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
Oh that was great. Yeah, Danielle given the man about
midmar and they jump off the cliff.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
Okay, this is something nicely done. Yeah, jumping off the
cliff onto the bowl like they're a cabo, like they're
the cliff divers.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Hey, you ever wear a bear suit like that? No?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
No, And I don't think I did see people wearing
two people Halloween this year, one wearing a bear suit,
the other one wearing the flower crowd.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
I said, very nice, very nice, thank you. Uh well, well,
Florence Pugh wins.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
They're supposed to say, not the bear. The bear doesn't
win the Bears.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
You know, the Bears have been the beneficiary of helpful officiating.
The Bears clearly were paralyzed in their final playoff game
as they laid on a burning field.
Speaker 3 (36:36):
And about sums it up nice. So yeah, there you
have it.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
The Bears took the U and felt no pain. Then
they took the l. Oh.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
That's really in deep on the end. That was next
level stuff, aren't there you?
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Yeah, twenty four hours at the official blasting and you
just can't lose a game anymore.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
No, in the NBA.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Playoffs, major League Baseball, there's always somebody to be well,
especially when your tired team is surrounding the referees like
it's a high school around a guy's locker that they
want to beat up. That's just like Lebron doing the
the head nod the whole time. Has those refs have
their skin taken off with a hot comb yet. No,
that's gonna be right before Game three. That's right, that's
(37:18):
a new one. I heard that one and good. And
why did you bring in hot coal tonight?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Hot comb? Oh hot comb? I think you said hot cold.
It's a hot comb. Oh hot comb?
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Okay, wow, seeking you know, thing is, I'm not big
on combs, haven't used one in like twenty years, so
I don't care that away.
Speaker 3 (37:35):
I don't really know hot comb. No, no, no, not whole thing.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Not me. I was gonna make another Combs joke, too tough. Uh.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
Now, earlier today, you know we mentioned this. It's been
a thing all this week.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Stephen A.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
Smith and Skip Bayless reunited on first Take right, whole
big thing. Skip Bayless, who was here at Fox for
a long time and then let go, and Steven a
who was there running on YouTube in the morning and
thursdays about fantasy football. I guarantee you, I guarantee you.
Skip is trying to find a way to get back
(38:10):
to ESPN, to get on the air and doing the
show again with Steven Asmith. I guarantee you that's what
he's trying to do, right because he went, he left,
we went from I'm at Fox and then Shannon. Then
he upset Shannon Sharp, Shannon Sharp left, who has been
going through issues of his own. And that was the
beginning of the end for Skip Bayless. When when when
he when he insulted Shannon Sharp, who is a Hall
(38:32):
of Famer, and he said, you're not a Hall of
Famer like Tom Brady and Shannon I thought wanted to
kill the guy. That was the end of Skip Bayless.
That was the beginning again, We're okay, he's not coming
back from that, because that's just ridiculously disrespectful of a
guy that you are debating all the time. Now because
I want to say this, because now I'm sure Skip
is desperate to get back to doing this right. He's
(38:52):
someone that's going to be going. He can't let it go.
He's somebody that can't let it go. If this becomes
a thing again, it won't be the same. It's never
the same for anything a second time around.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
It never is.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
And to think that, oh, the world is waiting for
Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless to get back together,
we're not. I know nobody is.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Yes, there was.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Attention on it, but I saw where it was trending
after it happened today, and Skip Bayless barely barely made
the United States trip, barely. It was like usually when
Skip says something crazy and outlandish, it's at the top
of my feet.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
I see it. Barely made it today. And they went
to the hole.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Where does Lebron rank for in overall the best players
of all these he's ninth. Right, let me try the
hottest of hot takes. I could possibly let me go
back to my hating of Lebron to get me back
so people start talking about me.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
No one is.
Speaker 4 (39:43):
Pining for that era. We still get debate shows. We
get debate shows where people disagree. There's no oh man,
there's no there's no oh there's no sense of.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
The past.
Speaker 4 (39:56):
There's no sense of retro. There's no sense of, Oh,
this is something I really like and I can't wait
for two back. I can get that anywhere. Yeah, they
pioneered what went on in the last you know, fifteen
years of embracing debate on the radio on television. But
now that's become a thing and we're sort of moving
away from that a little bit. People want a little
bit more substance, and there's new personalities coming in. There's
(40:18):
no cry for this. If this happens again, it won't
be what you think it is. And I'm telling for
ee this, for everybody. It's just not going to be
the second time for anything.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Never is. Yeah. I mean when we look at it,
depending on you, if you read the trades at all,
and this is the you know, the old inside Baseball
kind of thing that the ratings for a number of
the other ESPN shows were rising, and guess what wasn't
Steven As That's the guy you're paying a lot of
money to.
Speaker 3 (40:44):
So what do you do? You go gimmick, right.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
I saw some folks suggesting immediately after this, before ratings
are even out, it's like, do you extend the olive branch?
Try to figure out how to get Shannon Sharp back
on sets and get him back in the building in
good graces and to where it becomes a rotational thing.
In the end, it's not my cup of tea. We
got plenty of hot take, nonsense and performative takes out there.
(41:10):
Regardless of where you're turning out the dial, you're gonna
find them. Guys are playing characters like their WWE superstars,
and that's just the way it is.

The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper.
