You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, Welcome in Side hour two The Jason Smith Show
with Moncy Belano's in from Mike Harmon tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, where uh?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Getting fired up about the vulnerability of the Dodgers is
a big thing. Six losses in a row for LA,
the Brewers walking off against them today, telling you I
don't fear the Dodgers like I did in the past,
and I did. It was like, well it does. Even
(01:00):
going into the NLCS last year as brave as I talked,
We're gonna kick yours and in the end, I'm like,
this is where it's gonna come to an end, right
unless something crazy happens, unless all this for us, Yeah,
you get somebody.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Out instead of instead of a million seven.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well he was up for a game, him back down. Hey,
Well we got to look at him. We're not really happen.
We're gonna send him away. But in the end, okay,
it's the Dodgers are just more talented. They're gonna out
everything us. And and I sit back and I look
and I go, man, you know, I didn't lose my
chance of the World Series because of Otani or because
of anybody else. I lost because Tommy bleep and Edmund
(01:42):
had like ten hits and ten runs scored in ten
RBI and the NLCS like I lost because of Tommy
freaking Edmund, Right, that's what. But the Dodgers were just
so deep last year, I mean, being able to win
the bullpen games and every and in theory they were better.
They made their team better this year. But it's just
and it just hasn't clicked. It's just not the same.
And yes, even when they get healthy, I'm still gonna
(02:04):
feel like, yeah, okay, not quite, not not quite the
lineup as it was. Not. Everybody is having the great
year that they've had in the years, in the years past.
So yeah, no, I'm not scared. I don't walk in
going yeah, we're gonna win, We're gonna get killed, We're
gonna get created like when in a Few Good Men,
when Tom Cruise tell it when they're ready excited to
go back and yeah, you're ready, let's go, let's go
(02:24):
do it, and he goes, we're gonna get creamed. What
like That's kind of how I felt. I'm not gonna
feel that way this year.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, you know, again, again, it's early on in the season.
There are concerns. Are they legitimate concerns? No, but they
definitely are not playing up to the expectation with the
names that they have on that roster. I don't like it.
I'm not worried about making the playoffs, but it is
it does feel different than last year. You're not wrong
(02:52):
about that. I don't know what it is, but it's
still you know, we're approaching the All Star break, So
isn't this the time to suck.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Well, there's never a good time to suck, but now
you know it's clearly, yeah, this sucks. There's only a
few games left in the All Star but yeah, okay,
if you want to suck going into the Okay, there's
a time to suck.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's not I mean, it's it's not great in the
sense that we're headed to San Francisco to play the Giants,
you know what I mean, who started off hot also
kind of like came down to earth, and so it's
we still have a nice lead over them, but it's
if this is the time we're gonna suck. I guess
this is the time to suck. But I hate this
break for O Tawny specifically trying to do two things
(03:31):
at once for the first time in two years at
a high level, and like his hitting has taken a dip.
I don't know exactly what's going on with Muki. You know,
his hitting is he's been he's been swinging at some balls,
Jason that You're like, why you used to not swing
at garbage, like you used to be good, and now
you're swinging at garbage.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
He's a guy that needs the All Star break he does.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And maybe they just got Anne this, you know, with
the toe or foot whatever he's got, maybe he could
use the break. But our pitching staff, you know, Yamamoto
got rocked. But even though like he got rocked, but
then it would have been just three runs in that
first inning until Mookie bets through that bad ball to
first base and Freddie Fredieman couldn't get it out of
the dirt. There's and it just seems like all of
(04:17):
the minor mistakes are adding up making a much bigger mistake.
And it's not it's not great, and it's annoying because
you should not lose six in a row. I don't care.
You should not be losing six in a row.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So a lot more.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
And the Dodgers coming up in their six game losing
strikes good. But hey, you talk about the All Star Game,
and the big headline today in all of sports is
that now, well, sky Net is coming for us. All
Major League Baseball will be using ABS in the All
Star Game. Not the analect break system which is on
your car, but the automatic balls and strike challenge system,
(04:51):
which we have seen at times in the past. So
what's gonna have We've seen this in the in the
in the in Grapefruit League, and in the Cactus League.
We saw it a little bit in the minor leagues
about the experimenting being done with automatic balls and strikes
because eventually we're going to get computers and you know,
on robots calling these, but it's gonna be a little bit.
So they're going to debut this during the All Star Game.
(05:11):
And what it's going to go is that each team
gets two ball strike challenges a game, and if you
are successful, you get to keep going. Right, So as
long as you're successful, you can keep going on challenging
the balls and strikes. But the minute you go, oh
for two, you have no more challenges left. Now it's
got to be made by the batter or the pitcher
(05:32):
or the catcher. There's no wait, go to the manager.
The manager's gonna say something, go look at this was
this open? This has to be an immediate challenge by
either the pitcher, the catcher or the batter, which you know,
granted for the All Star Game, I'm sure the matter
is saying yeah, that's fine. During the season like no, no, no, no,
I want to make sure I don't want to guy
get in a hot head thinking that was a ball
(05:52):
when it was a strike. So this is kind of
gonna be the we dip our toes in the beginning
of the Hey, let's let the public sit exactly what
this is all about. When we have a system that's
going to allow you to challenge balls and strikes, and
they're going to find out if it's a ball or
a strike using the big box system, which you've seen
on every broadcast now the last few years. Well, boy,
(06:14):
that pitch looked outside. Let's see they show you the box. Oh,
it landed right on the line. This was in the
strike zone. It's outside. It's awful. I'm just looking why
Phil Couzy was trending at the end of the night
on Monday for the Phillies game against the Giants. So
we're going to get this and I love it because
number one, it's a technology to make something better. Right,
(06:35):
we have the technology to make this work, so why
not use it? Right, you have the technology make balls
and strikes better, to not miss a big not miss
a big pitch because one pitch flips in that bat.
Clearly there's some pitches that are bigger deal than others.
But you know, we have the technology. Man. I can't
imagine in some for and something that goes on, some
company has a technology to make something better and we
(06:56):
don't use it. Well, you know, like, hey, we have
the technology to you can buy these tires for your
car and you'll never have to buy tires again. We
can make these tires work for the net and they're
really expensive, but you'll never buy a tire again. And
now you they you can't puncture it. You can't do it.
You will never have to buy a tire again. It's
gonna be a lot of money. It's gonna be a
five thousand dollars tire, but you will know, or whatever
(07:17):
it's gonna be, you will never have to buy a
tire again. Okay, great. Can you imagine having that and say, yeah,
we can do that, but we're not gonna use it. No,
we're not gonna use it. You'll still find a way
to monetize it. Peoplela. Everybody's gonna pay for that trut.
They're gonna say, now, give me the cheap boat tire
for you know, three hundred bucks, and I'll try not
to drive over broken glass, nor drive over attack and
gets in there. So the technology to have it to
(07:37):
make this better. I like it. It's also gonna help
ease the tensions that are out there between the batters
and the pictures and the umpire because if a call
is made that's bad, all of a picture's gonna fume
on it, or a batter's gonna fume on it. Now
at least they know, hey, you make a bad call
that I know is a bad call. I can go
challenge it and if I win, I win, great. It's
(07:58):
what it was supposed to be. If we and we win.
If I lose, I know that. Oh and maybe I
was wrong about that. Maybe how How is that a strike?
How is that a ball? So I like that. From that,
it's gonna help keep keep the the homeplate umpires and
the players more honest with each other. And it's it's
going to help make it better, make make a better
system for balls and strikes. Souse. I'm telling you, eventually
we're gonna get to the completely robot called umpire behind
(08:23):
home plate. It just everybody's got to get used to
the idea, right this is this is not an idea
where we can do it and we're suddenly gonna overhaul
everything because players are gonna be nervous. Do we really
want the computers calling everything? Pitchers will be nervous, the batters,
the home plate, the umpires aren't gonna want to be
made irrelevant by just standing behind the plate code. Yeah
that was a strike, Yeah that was a strike. Yeah,
(08:43):
no computer tells me that was a ball, Like they
don't want that. But that's the way we're headed, and
that's where it's gonna go. But you can't just foist
ideas like this on right away. You got to get
people used to the idea, right. It's kind of It's
kind of like when you when you know, you and
your friends and you're trying to figure out a place
to go on a Friday night or to go on vacation.
You don't want to come out and say, we're gonna
go to my Orca. Let's go to my Orca right away.
I always wanted to go to my ar We're going
(09:04):
to Turks and Kekos right away? Right it sounds great. No,
it's the only place I want to go. They're like,
I don't want to go there simply because you want
to go there. You have to sit here and say, hey,
I got a bunch of different places here. You know,
I got huh Vancouver, I have Alaska, boy, I have
I have uh, I have Turks and Caicos, which I
had some fun stuff about that. And then you start reading,
and then you ever everybody comes around and they say, okay,
I'm okay with going to Turks and Kecos, or I'm okay.
(09:26):
That's kind of what this is like. It's such a
it's such a stark move to say, here, suddenly we're
gonna get a robot umpires, but people have to get
used to it. So here we are dipping our tone
in it in the All Star Game. Then I'm sure
we'll we'll dip our tone in it a little bit more,
a little bit more than If it works, it'll be
in the regular season for a year or two. Hey,
we got the automatic challenges that have to happen right
(09:47):
away from a player, and then eventually within the next
few years we will get to that. We will get
to fully automated balls and strikes.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Okay, so you're right that that's where the direction we're
headed into, and people don't like change, so we have
to ease it in. You're all so right that there
is no reason to not utilize this system. It makes
the game better, more perfect, however you want to look
at it. But you're speaking logically here, Jason, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
We're talking about robots.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I have to speak lag you're speaking logically, speak illogically.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I'm gonna strike three year out of it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Really, I don't I know we're headed in this direction,
but come on, man, we're gonna miss all of those
like angry moments of Aaron Boone getting ejected, or how
a month ago we just saw Manny Machado get thrown
out on the umpire's camera and him yelling at him
because it was the wrong call. We're gonna miss that.
I'm gonna miss that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I really like to see players try to argue with
the computer. They really want to see that. We're gonna
they go off the field that you see him they
shake the mouth to wake the computer up and they're
typing in that wasn't a strike. That was that strike?
You're out of the game. Wasn't breaking the computers and
breaking the iPads like they do in the NFL after
a bad play. I want to see that.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
That's all that's gonna happen, though they're not. We're not
going to see him getting in the umpire's faces anymore,
or coaches running out of the dugout again. I know
I'm being illogical and why I don't want this to
keep moving forward because it is going to move forward,
and I don't know if we'll completely get rid of
the human element, that human error element of baseball. But
I'm really just going to miss the hot headedness because
(11:19):
it's gonna take that away.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Okay, well let me tell you what's going to reply.
Just stick to this, just fight. Okay. We're not going
to get the hot headedness right, We're not gonna get
there just so fun. We've seen that, but we've seen that.
What we're going to get instead is, here's a pitch. Oh,
there's a strike one. Wait a minute, I'll tell you
it doesn't. Oh. Tani looks like he's disagreeing with this. Oh,
he's calling four of you. Here we go. And then
you cut to the guy who's maneuvering the robot. The
(11:42):
robot comes out from the tunnel and he comes up
and he kind of I don't know, if you make
a robot would be like a real like like like
walking robot, or be a robot that had like wheels
for legs, and it would wheel all the way up
and you'd see the big red eyes. It would come
up and move its head up like Wally.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Now you're a terminator here, No, no, any like he
would look.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Up at you like Wally and start playing a song
from Hello Dolly, And then you know, somebody would argue
about it, and that the computer's eyes would flip and
you would see all kinds of different colors change and
then they come out with a Then they take the
microphone and say, this call has been confirmed. It is
a strike, Matt, and then drop the mic and walk
like that's you. That's what we're gonna get. Instead, tell
me you wouldn't want to see that.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
No hard mass, hard grass hard. That's taking too long.
I thought this was gonna be fast.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You don't want to see a robot come out and argue.
You said, you like the you like the the arguing
in the hot but but you don't want to see
Manny Machado yelling it's some sort of robot.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
No, because it is. It's better when it's against the person.
This robot, it's good. It's gonna be a quick thing.
It's going to make the game. I feel it just
move faster and it's gonna be yes, like the correct
calls are going to be called. But like I don't
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
The robot would pick up the player by by by
its jersey and hold it like ten feet off the
ground and.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Threw it up in the air and it like explodes.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Are you sure, Manny, you wanted to argue or would
you like me to let you down, Let me down. Okay,
strike three.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Strike down. Let's move to the side and argue on
the side, and the game continues, and you argue with
the robot. You argue with the robot as the game.
I think that's the next love Okay, Fine, finecause.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
If you kicked her in the robot, the robot and
not gonna be able to move like, that's going to
be very difficult.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Fine, as long as there's still arguing with the robots,
I'm more on board with this, Okay, I just, I.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Just I will guarantee you arguing with the robot.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I need, I need the hot headedness to continue. You
know that that adds fun to it, especially when it's
not your team acting a fool.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay, generally the umpires, some of them go back, some
of them walk away. Team, you're still gonna get the
one side. The player is going to be mad. But
instead of an umpire turning away pretending to fix his
mask or fiddle with something, you just could be a
robot who will stand right there and stare at you right.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Because you know, like when you're in the middle of
an argument, the minute you realize you're wrong, you're kind
of like, oh yeah, okay, this argument is over. So
the arguments it's gonna be like once they show, once
they proved to you that you were right or wrong,
it's like, all right, well carry on, then nice to
talk to you, Let me head, let me, let me
strike out here, then.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Let me walk away, and I'm going back in to
get some oil. Nine need oil and gasoline. More viscosiny,
Thank you, good luck almost making it.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
It's almost gonna make everyone too just nice to each other. Okay,
all right, sure, sure it was just you know, like
there's gonna be no reason to argue.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
But I'm guaranteeing you arguing with a robot. I'm guaranteeing
you that it's gonna be fun, be absolutely fine. Jason

apparently the NFLPA is not working for the players. A
big bombshell of a story today by Pablo Tory that
first brought this to light a couple weeks ago. There
was collusion between the NFL and the NFL Players Association
(16:35):
to limit guaranteed money to players and contracts. Basically, this
stemmed from Toshan Watson getting his entire contract guaranteed and
the owners didn't want that. And apparently with all the
new contracts coming up of Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson,
the NFL and the NFLPA worked together to keep the
salaries down, and these guys signed big contracts in the
(16:58):
last couple of years, and maybe they could have wound
up getting more money. I can't believe that this is
the NFL p a's supposed to work for the players,
and this is Hey, sorry about that, guys. Yeah, we
screwed you. We screwed you on getting some money. But yeah,
we work with the owners on this. Wait what you're
supposed to represent me against the owners? Nah?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
But ah, can you really be mad? I mean, most
of the time we worked for you, have me mon,
just is one time, just this one tiny time that,
just one tiny time we didn't work for you.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It's been good since it's been good so far, that's
what you say.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Hey, our marriage has been really good. Yeah, we had
a really bad couple of days there when when I
disappeared and showed up and there was lipstick all over
my collars of all my shirts. But was great.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Overall, what grade would you give me? That's to be minus?
I mean that's pretty good, that's passing.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
You know.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
You wouldn't give me an F for all the work
out of time. No, I was, I was maybe at
A at A A minus.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Now I'm a B minus.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
That's still above average, Still above average, That's what I
would be saying.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Joining us now in the hotline to break it all down.
Nobody better than longtime NFL insider. Check him out of
a thirty third team. A Hall of Fame voter. I
have to say Hall of Fame voter because it's a
very serious topic going to talk about here with the NFLPA.
It is Jason Cole, Jay Cole, what's happening? Man?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I saw Man? I just feel so good whenever I
hear this, realizing the Jets will never win?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Well, oh so maybe maybe I want to sue the NFL.
There's collusion in keeping the Stets from winning. Jets, Maybe
there's collusion.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Take collision that keep the Jets from winning. That's that
doesn't require effort. I mean, come on, how just watching
Woody work is his magic.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
We had Rogers and Adams and Wilson last year. We said,
I think there's collusion. I didn't think about that.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
That's some boy moving along, moving along. More viable subject
the store today.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
What'd you make of this today?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Oh? I think that the NFL Players Associations should clean
a house, like everybody should be fired, like just like
burn baby burns, just burn the whole building down. This
is I mean, this is a serious subject, right, I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
That's why, that's why I introduced you as a Hall
of same voter because it's a serious subject.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
This is a this is a very serious subject. When
you hide the kind of information that they hid from
their own players, you've done such a you've you've forgotten
the purpose of why you exist and the fact that
they hit it for six months and agreed to and
(19:50):
they're not even defending the logic that they put out
there of why they why they didn't want to put
the information out there, like they directly they admitted you're
wrong because they announced today, Oh, we're filing a grievance
against we're you know, we're we're we're asking for a reading. Right,
(20:10):
they're appealing, they're appealing the decision. Well, why didn't you
appeal it like the first week? Number one? Why number two?
Why did you agree to keep this secret from your
own players? Like you went out and found all this
kind of information and granted the arbiter said they didn't
commit collusion technically, but he provided so much damaging evidence
(20:34):
in this, or was so much was gathered and exposed
in this that that all the agents could have lined
up and said, we're going to threaten to do things
if you don't give us what you want. They would
have been the league. We'd have been backpeddling so badly
from this report becoming public that we're talking about not
(20:56):
you know, a few million dollars, you know, we're talking
about hundreds of millions of dollars just this year in
lock money from lost leverage. Because if you take the
top one hundred free agents, and I think they're probably
there's probably somewhere in the area, what four hundred free
agents every year, right, and some of them, you know,
get one hundred million dollar deals or you know, one
(21:17):
hundred and fifty million dollar deals, and some of them
will get you know, three three million dollars for one year,
but almost all of them are struggling to get some
kind of guaranteed money in those deals, and they and
buy and large those deals get less than half in
guaranteed money. And I know that most fans are listening
(21:38):
to strong, I don't those guys get millions to play
a game, and blah blah blah, right, they say that,
But like, guys put their their bodies on the line
in this sport, and the biggest struggle that they have
is to get the money that they bargained for. And
most of them don't get even forty or fifty percent
(21:58):
of the money that they take. If we have wrapped
up in contract and their union, the people who are
supposed to fight for them didn't give them ammunition to
get more guaranteed money. So this to me is again
clean house. Everybody in that place should go with no
(22:19):
exception there.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
But would the Shield allow that? Wouldn't that bring more
problems admitting that that went down, you know what I mean,
Like admitting that went down because they fired everybody. Wouldn't
the Shield want to protect that?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
The League doesn't say over the union, well that the
Shield can do. It can say whatever there wants, But
in this case, the Shield has to shut up because
the Shield was If the Shield says anything that only
adds to the coin, that only adds to the damages
(22:58):
that could be could eventually come on to them if
they try to do anything that protects this group. I'm
just saying that this is this is so such an
impeachable offense, This is so such malfeasance on such a
massive level. And that's why again this is normally we're
(23:20):
talking about cowboy beings, and I know that cowboys beats
are important, Okay, and we're talking about Jerry Jones and
the beekeeper hat, which is very important. Okay, I know
where that place is right, but at this moment in time,
when you're talking about an issue, this this essential to
(23:41):
the negotiation, like everybody has to go like you had it,
you had those guys. You have proven that those guys
were trying to keep you from making more money. They
were trying to protect their wags. And I know that again,
their fans were probably like, yeah, those are don't deserve
the money. Oh, they should be able to do that.
It's like, no, they shouldn't like that. That's the restrain
(24:05):
of trade. Okay, this is against the free market economy.
It hurts labor. Labor, if you really thought about you
would never want this to happen. Okay, just because your
favorite team doesn't make it a good thing.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So let me throw Let me throw this out you
J Cole, because I agree. Like we talked about this
last hour, Yes, everybody needs to be fired. If you're
the NFL PA, can you demand a new CBA say, okay,
obviously there's lots of bad stuff. We don't know what
was above board beyond unless you really want us dig
into this, we want a new CBA right now.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Well, well, well you're trust to do it?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Well, yeah, somebody knew you don't. You don't have the
same people do it. You bring somebody new and to
do it.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
You do all sorts of things. You what you you
accuse him of everything you put those guys put. You
hold the owners, you hold their feet to the fire. This,
this union is under the idiotic concepts and part of
the biggest idiocy of this. And JC Tretder to the
former president of the NFLPA, a former player should answer
(25:10):
this question, why did you think it was a good
idea to hire a man who was from a management
based company to run a Union's one posentral questions? Right,
you know what, Howell comes from management side, He comes
(25:31):
from the ownership side of this, of this equation. He's
not a union guy, let alone. He knows nothing about football,
so he doesn't even know what he needs to ask for.
He doesn't even understand the concepts that are here. You
need to have people who are actually union people. You
need to have people who understand football. That's why, you know.
The more I look back at and I know Gene
(25:52):
Upshaw took a lot of craft during his time, his tenure,
that man understood this is how you fight for players,
This is how you fight for wages. Because the guys
who are the owners are trying to rip off the
players left and right, and they do it most of
the time because they're better at getting leverage and understand
how this business works. Okay, and yes, you should fight
(26:13):
for a new CBA. You're not really going to get
one this round, but you should use this as ammunition
to just make these guys look as bad as possible.
Not in front of the fans, because again the fans
don't are fams just want games. They just want to
see games. They don't care about it buy and large.
But in the court, yes, this is a really bad
(26:37):
look if you can somehow get into court, because this
is how they won way back when in the nineties,
and they have a fair CBA back then. Since then,
since twenty eleven, since the since the NFL got out
of court and successfully got themselves out of court, it's
been a lot side CBA. And guess what's happened. The
(26:58):
owners have made money and over fifth. I mean, this
is what people don't understand about the NFL. These aren't
businesses anymore. Where they try to make money. These are annuities.
These are the you know, the people who bought the
Denver Bronco has paid you know, six hundred million dollars
or whatever that was, because it was a guaranteed profit.
(27:22):
They knew they were going to make money year after
year after year with the value team only going up.
That's how good Roger Goodell has been at his job.
Roger Goodell has been one of the greatest commissioners in
the history of of of all sports. If you think
that his job is to work for the owners, okay,
(27:43):
because put it this way, he's managed to make Woody
Johnson Richard despite how Woody runs the Jets.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
You know, you could have said any other team instead
of the Jet. You don't always have to defend to
the No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I couldn't say any other teams. There was no other
team that I was going to say, not a single
other team. Is the only team that I was going
to go after. Okay, especially since Harmon you know, decide,
you know, and one thing, you know, praise you for
putting up with this for how long you got to
put up with this show? You know, you know whatever
(28:22):
you had to do to earn your right to be
on with this guy. Okay, good for you. Okay, but
like Harmon, I could have gone after the Bears. You
know they're they're certainly you know, they're certainly culpable. But
the Jets own a special place, so it was only
going to be the Jets.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
You knew this, well, thanks buddy, for you so you're
looking out for me.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
You knew no, no, no, no, it can be these things. Buddy.
You know you knew this was coming. You knew what
was happening. Okay, this was this. You knew it before
I even before I even answered your You know this.
You know, hey, how you doing? You knew that I
was after the jet. You knew I was coming after
(29:02):
sheriff for you knew what was happening.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I thought you were gonna zig instead of zagging.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Okay, Oh no, no, I go, I go zag right
at it.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I have.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I go right to the cheap shot. Pal. Okay, okay,
this is this is the Marx Brothers style. That's what
we do here. We go straight to the cheap shot.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
He goes right from here to watching duck Soup. He's
Jason Cole He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two
the Day Jason.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Mark Brothers, Long long ago and far away. So there
you go.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Did he really I did? Do you write duck Soup?
Speaker 4 (29:39):
No? He did not write duck Soup? But he wrote
some bits for the He wrote for the Marx Brothers
way way way back when, and.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
He couldn't he couldn't transfer any of that talent over
to you.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
That was good. I like that. I was almost as
good as the Jets. Very good.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It's punch counter punch. Tell you it easy, buddy, I'm fun.
We'll talk about how about that?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I think he likes you.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Jason Cole's dad wrote for the Marx Brothers. Wait wait, wait,
do you know who the Marx Brothers are?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yes, yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I worked at Universal Studios, so there was like, you know,
I had to learn about that.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Were you a tour guide?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Were really?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Okay? All right? Do you still? Could you still give
a tour if you had to?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I think I think I could, if you know I could.
I could talk to Bruce the shark mechanical shark that
comes at me.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I can talk to very good.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I can talk to Norman Bates. Oh yes, kill us
on the tram.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Sure, sure, you want a good Norman Bait story, Yes,
this is a good one. So we went this is
about this is about ten years ago. We went to
Universal Studios. We had friends in town. We went on
a Sunday night and it was Sunday night during football
and the Packers were playing somebody I forget who it was.
And in one of my big leagues, I needed Eddie
Lacy to have a big night or you know, we
(30:54):
were gonna lose. And he was having a big night,
like he had a touchdown, he had two touchdowns. I'm
on the tram going, oh another touchdown, ten more yards
of Eddie Lacy, and people in front of me like
heard my voice turn and goes, are you Jason Smith?
Oh my god, Hey will you take a picture with us?
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Sure, no problem whatever. So we go and we go
to the Psycho House. Yeah, and you take a picture
with the guy there who's dressed up as Norman Baits.
So he comes and he takes his knife and he
puts it under your under your throat, and he's doing
so while we're waiting and my friends are going and
I'm in line. I'm going, Oh, come on, I just
need one more catch. Gotta Eddie Lacy get over ninety yards,
get over ninety yards. Oh my god, I have enough points,
so we'll have enough points to win. Okay, okay. Then
(31:28):
it was my turn. I'm like sure, I'll go get
my Picchu takeing. Okay, So I go stand there and
I small got my phone in my hand. My phone
is down and the and and the guy puts it.
The guy Norman Bates puts his knife around my neck
and goes, how many Fantasy points are Eddie Lacy tonight?
And I just just got twenty four Fantasy So apparently
he had a Lacy this Fantasy league too. He wanted
to know how many Fantasy points. Yet Norman Bates asking
(31:49):
me about Eddie Lacy and Fantasy because.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
NFL is king.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That's how it goes.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
That's how it goes. That's awesome. That's good. So there
you go.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
So that I mean, maybe the same Norman baits you
and I knew the same guy.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I'm gonna guess, okay, you guess. No, they try to
keep Norman Bates looking young.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Oh yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Know what I'm saying. Yeah, like exactly like they wanted
to feel like you're back in that time. Sure, sure, yeah,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Okay, this is why he's he's fifty five. This interesting
hunched over a little bit in the back. I think
I could take him. I don't think you're able to
stab me.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I think'd all right, now your tour guide. Maybe your
tour guide that one maybe I did?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
All right, yeah, all right? What about what's trending in
the wide world of sports?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
How did that?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
How did that Dodger Brewer game end? Oh?
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Well, of course, of course, just because your Mets game
was rescheduled due to weather.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
We can't talk about. You didn't lose. You didn't you
didn't win.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
You didn't lose it all Mets Oriols West postponed. Fine, Yes,
the Dodgers have lost six in a row, getting swept
back to back series, this time against the Brewers, who
walked it off three to two. Chip Chip Cheerio Jackson
Cheerio with the walk off single in that tenth inning.
The Braves right now are up on the A's eight
to two. It's the top of the seventh inning. The
Diamondbacks have added some more runs. They're on top the
(33:00):
Padres seven to two in San Diego, bottom of the
eighth inning about to start. After six innings, the Rangers
and the Angels are tied at six apiece. Earlier today
in baseball, the Phillies crushed the Giants thirteen zero. The
Yankees defeated the Mariners nine to six. Jas Chishom Junior
with two homers in that one. The race held on
seven to three against the Tigers, snapping Detroit's five game
winning streak. Also, Ray slugger junior Camide Kaminetto, who leads
(33:24):
to the American League third basement in home run says
that he's gonna partake the in the home run Derby
on Monday in Atlanta. Big news in the NBA, well,
big news for Devin Booker because he's gonna make a
lot of money. He and the Sons have agreed to
a two year, one hundred and forty five million dollar
maximum contract extension with the franchise through the twenty nine
to twenty thirty season, the highest annual extension salary in
(33:45):
NBA history. Another story about money, but in the NFL,
and not a good one. Did you hear this one yet?
Jason Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner wired two hundred and forty
thousand dollars to scammers who convinced him that they were
representatives of his bank.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a tough one. How I know,
I know.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I got a call from the bank, supposedly I'm using
air quotes, telling him that there was somebody trying to
take money from him. So he went to two different
banks and transferred one hundred and twenty thousand dollars to
two businesses that obviously don't exist and are not real.
But when you're at the bank, wouldn't you, Hey, you
guys called me earlier today, right, Yeah, that'd be the
(34:26):
first thing you ask, sir, why are you doing this?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
All I was telling you you the bank would say
something and say, hey, is a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
It wasn't ten thousand dollars, Yeah, one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars, two different banks that you went to to
do this wire transfer. And apparently he's recovered twenty five
hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Wow, that's wow, that's just.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Like how in today's d him age. Yeah, come on,
I know, I know, I know then, Kendal, I know,
And apparently he only realized that maybe he was a
victim of a scam after he told his family member
the story.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, that's you did what you sent what to call
the bank right now? Call them? Now? What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Oh it's a rough story.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
It's a rough story. How it can still happen today?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Thanks a bunch of mons.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Coming up next, speaking of money, money, Oh boy, way

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Be blately boh my god, roughly.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
B I E B E R B.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yes, I'm pretty sure I thought they were beavers. No,
I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure they're his fans Are beavers. No,
they're the believers. No, they hold sticks and teeth beavers.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
They No, it's the believers. Very good, Jason, look at that.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
They're making a damn the must love this song waters
not wait by that, No, it kind of does. But
now I just picturing a bunch of beavers listening to
Justin Bieber saying, baby, just like pad padding mud, Yeah,
with the big padding the mud up against the sticks. Yeah,
keeping great for our ecosystem.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Yeah sure, yeah, okay, and so are the believers on.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
The fact believers, they almost look like platypuses. Okay, listen,
I think duck beaver. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, this
is where the duck build platypus comes in. Yes, we've
heard a lot about but never seen. But just be
real with me, Jason. When you say Believerer, that sounds weird,
but that's what But that's what it is. Because it's Bieber,
they find a way to make it sound good. So
(37:37):
Belieber must want to be like young fans then, yeah,
how old do you think his fans work? Yeah, his
fans were like early twenties. No, his fans were like
six years old by tickets. Bieber's fans right now are
like twenty eight years old. I used to love that guy.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
Yeah, yeah, fantastic. Yeah he was a skater, boy, I
said Cola to boy. Yeah, it wasn't good enough for me. Uh,
slamming on his guitar. Yeah, that's happening right now.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
It's okay, yeah, yeah, nah, yeah, even all the way
back in the early ones. All right. So, uh, it's
been a bit of a controversy this past couple of
days at Juan Soto of the Mets is not an
all Star. Now he's had an incredible last month, plus
his OPS is over nine hundred. He is back to
being Juan Soda. Remember when one Sodo stunk and was
(38:28):
so miserable it was awful. Yeah, those are the days.
So now, hey, Wan Soto not being an All Star
has become a thing, and up until this point, every
time he's been asked about it the last few days's
been a I'd love to be loved be an All Star,
but you know it's Hey, it doesn't happen. You know,
I'll try to get back there in the future. Except today,
when he was asked about not being an All Star,
he had a little bit of a different answer for
(38:49):
why he would really love be going to Atlanta for
the game.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Would you have the team.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Technician?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
I think it's it's a lot of money on the table.
Would I make it?
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Shut up one, it's a lot of money on the
table Montsi. Can you tell me how much money would
Wan Sodo get uh or being selected to the All
Star of one hundred grand? Let me double jack money,
all start yeah, okay? And All Start Star okay? And
he is, yes, one hundred thousand dollars And how much
is he making Let me check it out, hanging I
(39:22):
think he's what's the number? I think he signed it.
I think he signed a three year, two million dollar deal.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Hang on like per minute?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, three or two?
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, that would be seven hundred and sixty five million
dollar contract. Yeah. It's tough for me because you know,
this is my team, right, and he's my god right
for the next fifteen years of my life.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
Right.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
He's like your child that did something wrong but you
can't admit it, so you're like, oh, he's cute now,
Oh he was just kidding.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
He's a believer. You know two things about Wan Sodo.
Sometimes he just really makes it difficult, really makes difficult.
But the other part is is that I want to
tell him, Hey, maybe this would have sound fun and
charming if you were playing for a different team. But
when you are a guy that now polarizes people because
of the contract you got, that ain't gonna play, right,
(40:10):
you have a bulls eye on you. How do you
think it's gonna play When a guy that just signed
for seven hundred and sixty five million dollars is moaning
about ah, a hundred grand, you just gotta kiss that goodbye.
I guess we're not going on vacation this year if
not happening, all right?
Speaker 3 (40:24):
If you would have said that, if I was one
of the reporters and that was his response, I would
have just stared at him and waited until he followed
up or doubled down and be like, oh, so you're
one hundred k out of your six seven hundreds whatever
a million dollar contract.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
And it's not like losing the money, isn't it's free
money that he'd be getting.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Shut up, shut up on soo how it's so toned
up to the situation. And you're right if he wasn't
a Met, if he didn't have this deal, different situation. Also,
if you didn't have such a rough start to the
season too, Like you're just saying that right now because
you're feeling good about yourself. Had the All Star Game
been two months ago, you wouldn't have been singing this
tune what you have?
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah, No, it's tough. I mean, it's time. I can't
I can't defend it. I can't defend it.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Good.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
At least the Mets didn't lose today. That's all I have.
So I got today. Jason Smith, Montsi Bollagio is coming
up next. Hey, you want to talk about somebody who
had a really bad day and someone who had a really,
really great day. They happened to not really like each other,
and that story's next, Fox. Is it Justin Bieber? Believer?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Hello, Welcome in Side hour two The Jason Smith Show
with Moncy Belano's in from Mike Harmon tonight.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Yeah, where uh?
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Getting fired up about the vulnerability of the Dodgers is
a big thing. Six losses in a row for LA,
the Brewers walking off against them today, telling you I
don't fear the Dodgers like I did in the past,
and I did. It was like, well it does. Even
(01:00):
going into the NLCS last year as brave as I talked,
We're gonna kick yours and in the end, I'm like,
this is where it's gonna come to an end, right
unless something crazy happens, unless all this for us, Yeah,
you get somebody.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Out instead of instead of a million seven.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Well he was up for a game, him back down. Hey,
Well we got to look at him. We're not really happen.
We're gonna send him away. But in the end, okay,
it's the Dodgers are just more talented. They're gonna out
everything us. And and I sit back and I look
and I go, man, you know, I didn't lose my
chance of the World Series because of Otani or because
of anybody else. I lost because Tommy bleep and Edmund
(01:42):
had like ten hits and ten runs scored in ten
RBI and the NLCS like I lost because of Tommy
freaking Edmund, Right, that's what. But the Dodgers were just
so deep last year, I mean, being able to win
the bullpen games and every and in theory they were better.
They made their team better this year. But it's just
and it just hasn't clicked. It's just not the same.
And yes, even when they get healthy, I'm still gonna
(02:04):
feel like, yeah, okay, not quite, not not quite the
lineup as it was. Not. Everybody is having the great
year that they've had in the years, in the years past.
So yeah, no, I'm not scared. I don't walk in
going yeah, we're gonna win, We're gonna get killed, We're
gonna get created like when in a Few Good Men,
when Tom Cruise tell it when they're ready excited to
go back and yeah, you're ready, let's go, let's go
(02:24):
do it, and he goes, we're gonna get creamed. What
like That's kind of how I felt. I'm not gonna
feel that way this year.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, you know, again, again, it's early on in the season.
There are concerns. Are they legitimate concerns? No, but they
definitely are not playing up to the expectation with the
names that they have on that roster. I don't like it.
I'm not worried about making the playoffs, but it is
it does feel different than last year. You're not wrong
(02:52):
about that. I don't know what it is, but it's
still you know, we're approaching the All Star break, So
isn't this the time to suck.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Well, there's never a good time to suck, but now
you know it's clearly, yeah, this sucks. There's only a
few games left in the All Star but yeah, okay,
if you want to suck going into the Okay, there's
a time to suck.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
It's not I mean, it's it's not great in the
sense that we're headed to San Francisco to play the Giants,
you know what I mean, who started off hot also
kind of like came down to earth, and so it's
we still have a nice lead over them, but it's
if this is the time we're gonna suck. I guess
this is the time to suck. But I hate this
break for O Tawny specifically trying to do two things
(03:31):
at once for the first time in two years at
a high level, and like his hitting has taken a dip.
I don't know exactly what's going on with Muki. You know,
his hitting is he's been he's been swinging at some balls,
Jason that You're like, why you used to not swing
at garbage, like you used to be good, and now
you're swinging at garbage.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
He's a guy that needs the All Star break he does.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
And maybe they just got Anne this, you know, with
the toe or foot whatever he's got, maybe he could
use the break. But our pitching staff, you know, Yamamoto
got rocked. But even though like he got rocked, but
then it would have been just three runs in that
first inning until Mookie bets through that bad ball to
first base and Freddie Fredieman couldn't get it out of
the dirt. There's and it just seems like all of
(04:17):
the minor mistakes are adding up making a much bigger mistake.
And it's not it's not great, and it's annoying because
you should not lose six in a row. I don't care.
You should not be losing six in a row.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
So a lot more.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
And the Dodgers coming up in their six game losing
strikes good. But hey, you talk about the All Star Game,
and the big headline today in all of sports is
that now, well, sky Net is coming for us. All
Major League Baseball will be using ABS in the All
Star Game. Not the analect break system which is on
your car, but the automatic balls and strike challenge system,
(04:51):
which we have seen at times in the past. So
what's gonna have We've seen this in the in the
in the in Grapefruit League, and in the Cactus League.
We saw it a little bit in the minor leagues
about the experimenting being done with automatic balls and strikes
because eventually we're going to get computers and you know,
on robots calling these, but it's gonna be a little bit.
So they're going to debut this during the All Star Game.
(05:11):
And what it's going to go is that each team
gets two ball strike challenges a game, and if you
are successful, you get to keep going. Right, So as
long as you're successful, you can keep going on challenging
the balls and strikes. But the minute you go, oh
for two, you have no more challenges left. Now it's
got to be made by the batter or the pitcher
(05:32):
or the catcher. There's no wait, go to the manager.
The manager's gonna say something, go look at this was
this open? This has to be an immediate challenge by
either the pitcher, the catcher or the batter, which you know,
granted for the All Star Game, I'm sure the matter
is saying yeah, that's fine. During the season like no, no, no, no,
I want to make sure I don't want to guy
get in a hot head thinking that was a ball
(05:52):
when it was a strike. So this is kind of
gonna be the we dip our toes in the beginning
of the Hey, let's let the public sit exactly what
this is all about. When we have a system that's
going to allow you to challenge balls and strikes, and
they're going to find out if it's a ball or
a strike using the big box system, which you've seen
on every broadcast now the last few years. Well, boy,
(06:14):
that pitch looked outside. Let's see they show you the box. Oh,
it landed right on the line. This was in the
strike zone. It's outside. It's awful. I'm just looking why
Phil Couzy was trending at the end of the night
on Monday for the Phillies game against the Giants. So
we're going to get this and I love it because
number one, it's a technology to make something better. Right,
(06:35):
we have the technology to make this work, so why
not use it? Right, you have the technology make balls
and strikes better, to not miss a big not miss
a big pitch because one pitch flips in that bat.
Clearly there's some pitches that are bigger deal than others.
But you know, we have the technology. Man. I can't
imagine in some for and something that goes on, some
company has a technology to make something better and we
(06:56):
don't use it. Well, you know, like, hey, we have
the technology to you can buy these tires for your
car and you'll never have to buy tires again. We
can make these tires work for the net and they're
really expensive, but you'll never buy a tire again. And
now you they you can't puncture it. You can't do it.
You will never have to buy a tire again. It's
gonna be a lot of money. It's gonna be a
five thousand dollars tire, but you will know, or whatever
(07:17):
it's gonna be, you will never have to buy a
tire again. Okay, great. Can you imagine having that and say, yeah,
we can do that, but we're not gonna use it. No,
we're not gonna use it. You'll still find a way
to monetize it. Peoplela. Everybody's gonna pay for that trut.
They're gonna say, now, give me the cheap boat tire
for you know, three hundred bucks, and I'll try not
to drive over broken glass, nor drive over attack and
gets in there. So the technology to have it to
(07:37):
make this better. I like it. It's also gonna help
ease the tensions that are out there between the batters
and the pictures and the umpire because if a call
is made that's bad, all of a picture's gonna fume
on it, or a batter's gonna fume on it. Now
at least they know, hey, you make a bad call
that I know is a bad call. I can go
challenge it and if I win, I win, great. It's
(07:58):
what it was supposed to be. If we and we win.
If I lose, I know that. Oh and maybe I
was wrong about that. Maybe how How is that a strike?
How is that a ball? So I like that. From that,
it's gonna help keep keep the the homeplate umpires and
the players more honest with each other. And it's it's
going to help make it better, make make a better
system for balls and strikes. Souse. I'm telling you, eventually
we're gonna get to the completely robot called umpire behind
(08:23):
home plate. It just everybody's got to get used to
the idea, right this is this is not an idea
where we can do it and we're suddenly gonna overhaul
everything because players are gonna be nervous. Do we really
want the computers calling everything? Pitchers will be nervous, the batters,
the home plate, the umpires aren't gonna want to be
made irrelevant by just standing behind the plate code. Yeah
that was a strike, Yeah that was a strike. Yeah,
(08:43):
no computer tells me that was a ball, Like they
don't want that. But that's the way we're headed, and
that's where it's gonna go. But you can't just foist
ideas like this on right away. You got to get
people used to the idea, right. It's kind of It's
kind of like when you when you know, you and
your friends and you're trying to figure out a place
to go on a Friday night or to go on vacation.
You don't want to come out and say, we're gonna
go to my Orca. Let's go to my Orca right away.
I always wanted to go to my ar We're going
(09:04):
to Turks and Kekos right away? Right it sounds great. No,
it's the only place I want to go. They're like,
I don't want to go there simply because you want
to go there. You have to sit here and say, hey,
I got a bunch of different places here. You know,
I got huh Vancouver, I have Alaska, boy, I have
I have uh, I have Turks and Caicos, which I
had some fun stuff about that. And then you start reading,
and then you ever everybody comes around and they say, okay,
I'm okay with going to Turks and Kecos, or I'm okay.
(09:26):
That's kind of what this is like. It's such a
it's such a stark move to say, here, suddenly we're
gonna get a robot umpires, but people have to get
used to it. So here we are dipping our tone
in it in the All Star Game. Then I'm sure
we'll we'll dip our tone in it a little bit more,
a little bit more than If it works, it'll be
in the regular season for a year or two. Hey,
we got the automatic challenges that have to happen right
(09:47):
away from a player, and then eventually within the next
few years we will get to that. We will get
to fully automated balls and strikes.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
Okay, so you're right that that's where the direction we're
headed into, and people don't like change, so we have
to ease it in. You're all so right that there
is no reason to not utilize this system. It makes
the game better, more perfect, however you want to look
at it. But you're speaking logically here, Jason, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
We're talking about robots.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
I have to speak lag you're speaking logically, speak illogically.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I'm gonna strike three year out of it.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Really, I don't I know we're headed in this direction,
but come on, man, we're gonna miss all of those
like angry moments of Aaron Boone getting ejected, or how
a month ago we just saw Manny Machado get thrown
out on the umpire's camera and him yelling at him
because it was the wrong call. We're gonna miss that.
I'm gonna miss that. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I really like to see players try to argue with
the computer. They really want to see that. We're gonna
they go off the field that you see him they
shake the mouth to wake the computer up and they're
typing in that wasn't a strike. That was that strike?
You're out of the game. Wasn't breaking the computers and
breaking the iPads like they do in the NFL after
a bad play. I want to see that.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
That's all that's gonna happen, though they're not. We're not
going to see him getting in the umpire's faces anymore,
or coaches running out of the dugout again. I know
I'm being illogical and why I don't want this to
keep moving forward because it is going to move forward,
and I don't know if we'll completely get rid of
the human element, that human error element of baseball. But
I'm really just going to miss the hot headedness because
(11:19):
it's gonna take that away.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Okay, well let me tell you what's going to reply.
Just stick to this, just fight. Okay. We're not going
to get the hot headedness right, We're not gonna get
there just so fun. We've seen that, but we've seen that.
What we're going to get instead is, here's a pitch. Oh,
there's a strike one. Wait a minute, I'll tell you
it doesn't. Oh. Tani looks like he's disagreeing with this. Oh,
he's calling four of you. Here we go. And then
you cut to the guy who's maneuvering the robot. The
(11:42):
robot comes out from the tunnel and he comes up
and he kind of I don't know, if you make
a robot would be like a real like like like
walking robot, or be a robot that had like wheels
for legs, and it would wheel all the way up
and you'd see the big red eyes. It would come
up and move its head up like Wally.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Now you're a terminator here, No, no, any like he
would look.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Up at you like Wally and start playing a song
from Hello Dolly, And then you know, somebody would argue
about it, and that the computer's eyes would flip and
you would see all kinds of different colors change and
then they come out with a Then they take the
microphone and say, this call has been confirmed. It is
a strike, Matt, and then drop the mic and walk
like that's you. That's what we're gonna get. Instead, tell
me you wouldn't want to see that.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
No hard mass, hard grass hard. That's taking too long.
I thought this was gonna be fast.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You don't want to see a robot come out and argue.
You said, you like the you like the the arguing
in the hot but but you don't want to see
Manny Machado yelling it's some sort of robot.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
No, because it is. It's better when it's against the person.
This robot, it's good. It's gonna be a quick thing.
It's going to make the game. I feel it just
move faster and it's gonna be yes, like the correct
calls are going to be called. But like I don't
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
The robot would pick up the player by by by
its jersey and hold it like ten feet off the
ground and.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Threw it up in the air and it like explodes.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Are you sure, Manny, you wanted to argue or would
you like me to let you down, Let me down. Okay,
strike three.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Strike down. Let's move to the side and argue on
the side, and the game continues, and you argue with
the robot. You argue with the robot as the game.
I think that's the next love Okay, Fine, finecause.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
If you kicked her in the robot, the robot and
not gonna be able to move like, that's going to
be very difficult.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Fine, as long as there's still arguing with the robots,
I'm more on board with this, Okay, I just, I.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Just I will guarantee you arguing with the robot.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
I need, I need the hot headedness to continue. You
know that that adds fun to it, especially when it's
not your team acting a fool.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Okay, generally the umpires, some of them go back, some
of them walk away. Team, you're still gonna get the
one side. The player is going to be mad. But
instead of an umpire turning away pretending to fix his
mask or fiddle with something, you just could be a
robot who will stand right there and stare at you right.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Because you know, like when you're in the middle of
an argument, the minute you realize you're wrong, you're kind
of like, oh yeah, okay, this argument is over. So
the arguments it's gonna be like once they show, once
they proved to you that you were right or wrong,
it's like, all right, well carry on, then nice to
talk to you, Let me head, let me, let me
strike out here, then.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Let me walk away, and I'm going back in to
get some oil. Nine need oil and gasoline. More viscosiny,
Thank you, good luck almost making it.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
It's almost gonna make everyone too just nice to each other. Okay,
all right, sure, sure it was just you know, like
there's gonna be no reason to argue.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
But I'm guaranteeing you arguing with a robot. I'm guaranteeing
you that it's gonna be fun, be absolutely fine. Jason

apparently the NFLPA is not working for the players. A
big bombshell of a story today by Pablo Tory that
first brought this to light a couple weeks ago. There
was collusion between the NFL and the NFL Players Association
(16:35):
to limit guaranteed money to players and contracts. Basically, this
stemmed from Toshan Watson getting his entire contract guaranteed and
the owners didn't want that. And apparently with all the
new contracts coming up of Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson,
the NFL and the NFLPA worked together to keep the
salaries down, and these guys signed big contracts in the
(16:58):
last couple of years, and maybe they could have wound
up getting more money. I can't believe that this is
the NFL p a's supposed to work for the players,
and this is Hey, sorry about that, guys. Yeah, we
screwed you. We screwed you on getting some money. But yeah,
we work with the owners on this. Wait what you're
supposed to represent me against the owners? Nah?
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:15):
But ah, can you really be mad? I mean, most
of the time we worked for you, have me mon,
just is one time, just this one tiny time that,
just one tiny time we didn't work for you.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
It's been good since it's been good so far, that's
what you say.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Hey, our marriage has been really good. Yeah, we had
a really bad couple of days there when when I
disappeared and showed up and there was lipstick all over
my collars of all my shirts. But was great.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Overall, what grade would you give me? That's to be minus?
I mean that's pretty good, that's passing.
Speaker 4 (17:49):
You know.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
You wouldn't give me an F for all the work
out of time. No, I was, I was maybe at
A at A A minus.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Now I'm a B minus.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
That's still above average, Still above average, That's what I
would be saying.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Joining us now in the hotline to break it all down.
Nobody better than longtime NFL insider. Check him out of
a thirty third team. A Hall of Fame voter. I
have to say Hall of Fame voter because it's a
very serious topic going to talk about here with the NFLPA.
It is Jason Cole, Jay Cole, what's happening? Man?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
I saw Man? I just feel so good whenever I
hear this, realizing the Jets will never win?
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Well, oh so maybe maybe I want to sue the NFL.
There's collusion in keeping the Stets from winning. Jets, Maybe
there's collusion.
Speaker 4 (18:38):
Take collision that keep the Jets from winning. That's that
doesn't require effort. I mean, come on, how just watching
Woody work is his magic.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
We had Rogers and Adams and Wilson last year. We said,
I think there's collusion. I didn't think about that.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
That's some boy moving along, moving along. More viable subject
the store today.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
What'd you make of this today?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Oh? I think that the NFL Players Associations should clean
a house, like everybody should be fired, like just like
burn baby burns, just burn the whole building down. This
is I mean, this is a serious subject, right, I mean.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
That's why, that's why I introduced you as a Hall
of same voter because it's a serious subject.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
This is a this is a very serious subject. When
you hide the kind of information that they hid from
their own players, you've done such a you've you've forgotten
the purpose of why you exist and the fact that
they hit it for six months and agreed to and
(19:50):
they're not even defending the logic that they put out
there of why they why they didn't want to put
the information out there, like they directly they admitted you're
wrong because they announced today, Oh, we're filing a grievance
against we're you know, we're we're we're asking for a reading. Right,
(20:10):
they're appealing, they're appealing the decision. Well, why didn't you
appeal it like the first week? Number one? Why number two?
Why did you agree to keep this secret from your
own players? Like you went out and found all this
kind of information and granted the arbiter said they didn't
commit collusion technically, but he provided so much damaging evidence
(20:34):
in this, or was so much was gathered and exposed
in this that that all the agents could have lined
up and said, we're going to threaten to do things
if you don't give us what you want. They would
have been the league. We'd have been backpeddling so badly
from this report becoming public that we're talking about not
(20:56):
you know, a few million dollars, you know, we're talking
about hundreds of millions of dollars just this year in
lock money from lost leverage. Because if you take the
top one hundred free agents, and I think they're probably
there's probably somewhere in the area, what four hundred free
agents every year, right, and some of them, you know,
get one hundred million dollar deals or you know, one
(21:17):
hundred and fifty million dollar deals, and some of them
will get you know, three three million dollars for one year,
but almost all of them are struggling to get some
kind of guaranteed money in those deals, and they and
buy and large those deals get less than half in
guaranteed money. And I know that most fans are listening
(21:38):
to strong, I don't those guys get millions to play
a game, and blah blah blah, right, they say that,
But like, guys put their their bodies on the line
in this sport, and the biggest struggle that they have
is to get the money that they bargained for. And
most of them don't get even forty or fifty percent
(21:58):
of the money that they take. If we have wrapped
up in contract and their union, the people who are
supposed to fight for them didn't give them ammunition to
get more guaranteed money. So this to me is again
clean house. Everybody in that place should go with no
(22:19):
exception there.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
But would the Shield allow that? Wouldn't that bring more
problems admitting that that went down, you know what I mean,
Like admitting that went down because they fired everybody. Wouldn't
the Shield want to protect that?
Speaker 4 (22:36):
The League doesn't say over the union, well that the
Shield can do. It can say whatever there wants, But
in this case, the Shield has to shut up because
the Shield was If the Shield says anything that only
adds to the coin, that only adds to the damages
(22:58):
that could be could eventually come on to them if
they try to do anything that protects this group. I'm
just saying that this is this is so such an
impeachable offense, This is so such malfeasance on such a
massive level. And that's why again this is normally we're
(23:20):
talking about cowboy beings, and I know that cowboys beats
are important, Okay, and we're talking about Jerry Jones and
the beekeeper hat, which is very important. Okay, I know
where that place is right, but at this moment in time,
when you're talking about an issue, this this essential to
(23:41):
the negotiation, like everybody has to go like you had it,
you had those guys. You have proven that those guys
were trying to keep you from making more money. They
were trying to protect their wags. And I know that again,
their fans were probably like, yeah, those are don't deserve
the money. Oh, they should be able to do that.
It's like, no, they shouldn't like that. That's the restrain
(24:05):
of trade. Okay, this is against the free market economy.
It hurts labor. Labor, if you really thought about you
would never want this to happen. Okay, just because your
favorite team doesn't make it a good thing.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
So let me throw Let me throw this out you
J Cole, because I agree. Like we talked about this
last hour, Yes, everybody needs to be fired. If you're
the NFL PA, can you demand a new CBA say, okay,
obviously there's lots of bad stuff. We don't know what
was above board beyond unless you really want us dig
into this, we want a new CBA right now.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Well, well, well you're trust to do it?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Well, yeah, somebody knew you don't. You don't have the
same people do it. You bring somebody new and to
do it.
Speaker 4 (24:47):
You do all sorts of things. You what you you
accuse him of everything you put those guys put. You
hold the owners, you hold their feet to the fire. This,
this union is under the idiotic concepts and part of
the biggest idiocy of this. And JC Tretder to the
former president of the NFLPA, a former player should answer
(25:10):
this question, why did you think it was a good
idea to hire a man who was from a management
based company to run a Union's one posentral questions? Right,
you know what, Howell comes from management side, He comes
(25:31):
from the ownership side of this, of this equation. He's
not a union guy, let alone. He knows nothing about football,
so he doesn't even know what he needs to ask for.
He doesn't even understand the concepts that are here. You
need to have people who are actually union people. You
need to have people who understand football. That's why, you know.
The more I look back at and I know Gene
(25:52):
Upshaw took a lot of craft during his time, his tenure,
that man understood this is how you fight for players,
This is how you fight for wages. Because the guys
who are the owners are trying to rip off the
players left and right, and they do it most of
the time because they're better at getting leverage and understand
how this business works. Okay, and yes, you should fight
(26:13):
for a new CBA. You're not really going to get
one this round, but you should use this as ammunition
to just make these guys look as bad as possible.
Not in front of the fans, because again the fans
don't are fams just want games. They just want to
see games. They don't care about it buy and large.
But in the court, yes, this is a really bad
(26:37):
look if you can somehow get into court, because this
is how they won way back when in the nineties,
and they have a fair CBA back then. Since then,
since twenty eleven, since the since the NFL got out
of court and successfully got themselves out of court, it's
been a lot side CBA. And guess what's happened. The
(26:58):
owners have made money and over fifth. I mean, this
is what people don't understand about the NFL. These aren't
businesses anymore. Where they try to make money. These are annuities.
These are the you know, the people who bought the
Denver Bronco has paid you know, six hundred million dollars
or whatever that was, because it was a guaranteed profit.
(27:22):
They knew they were going to make money year after
year after year with the value team only going up.
That's how good Roger Goodell has been at his job.
Roger Goodell has been one of the greatest commissioners in
the history of of of all sports. If you think
that his job is to work for the owners, okay,
(27:43):
because put it this way, he's managed to make Woody
Johnson Richard despite how Woody runs the Jets.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
You know, you could have said any other team instead
of the Jet. You don't always have to defend to
the No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
I couldn't say any other teams. There was no other
team that I was going to say, not a single
other team. Is the only team that I was going
to go after. Okay, especially since Harmon you know, decide,
you know, and one thing, you know, praise you for
putting up with this for how long you got to
put up with this show? You know, you know whatever
(28:22):
you had to do to earn your right to be
on with this guy. Okay, good for you. Okay, but
like Harmon, I could have gone after the Bears. You
know they're they're certainly you know, they're certainly culpable. But
the Jets own a special place, so it was only
going to be the Jets.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
You knew this, well, thanks buddy, for you so you're
looking out for me.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
You knew no, no, no, no, it can be these things. Buddy.
You know you knew this was coming. You knew what
was happening. Okay, this was this. You knew it before
I even before I even answered your You know this.
You know, hey, how you doing? You knew that I
was after the jet. You knew I was coming after
(29:02):
sheriff for you knew what was happening.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
I thought you were gonna zig instead of zagging.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Okay, Oh no, no, I go, I go zag right
at it.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
I have.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
I go right to the cheap shot. Pal. Okay, okay,
this is this is the Marx Brothers style. That's what
we do here. We go straight to the cheap shot.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
He goes right from here to watching duck Soup. He's
Jason Cole He's on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two
the Day Jason.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
Mark Brothers, Long long ago and far away. So there
you go.
Speaker 1 (29:33):

Speaker 4 (29:39):
No? He did not write duck Soup? But he wrote
some bits for the He wrote for the Marx Brothers
way way way back when, and.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
He couldn't he couldn't transfer any of that talent over
to you.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
That was good. I like that. I was almost as
good as the Jets. Very good.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It's punch counter punch. Tell you it easy, buddy, I'm fun.
We'll talk about how about that?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
I think he likes you.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Jason Cole's dad wrote for the Marx Brothers. Wait wait, wait,
do you know who the Marx Brothers are?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Yes, yes, okay.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
I worked at Universal Studios, so there was like, you know,
I had to learn about that.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Were you a tour guide?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Were really?
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Okay? All right? Do you still? Could you still give
a tour if you had to?
Speaker 3 (30:19):
I think I think I could, if you know I could.
I could talk to Bruce the shark mechanical shark that
comes at me.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
I can talk to very good.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I can talk to Norman Bates. Oh yes, kill us
on the tram.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Sure, sure, you want a good Norman Bait story, Yes,
this is a good one. So we went this is
about this is about ten years ago. We went to
Universal Studios. We had friends in town. We went on
a Sunday night and it was Sunday night during football
and the Packers were playing somebody I forget who it was.
And in one of my big leagues, I needed Eddie
Lacy to have a big night or you know, we
(30:54):
were gonna lose. And he was having a big night,
like he had a touchdown, he had two touchdowns. I'm
on the tram going, oh another touchdown, ten more yards
of Eddie Lacy, and people in front of me like
heard my voice turn and goes, are you Jason Smith?
Oh my god, Hey will you take a picture with us?
Speaker 4 (31:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Sure, no problem whatever. So we go and we go
to the Psycho House. Yeah, and you take a picture
with the guy there who's dressed up as Norman Baits.
So he comes and he takes his knife and he
puts it under your under your throat, and he's doing
so while we're waiting and my friends are going and
I'm in line. I'm going, Oh, come on, I just
need one more catch. Gotta Eddie Lacy get over ninety yards,
get over ninety yards. Oh my god, I have enough points,
so we'll have enough points to win. Okay, okay. Then
(31:28):
it was my turn. I'm like sure, I'll go get
my Picchu takeing. Okay, So I go stand there and
I small got my phone in my hand. My phone
is down and the and and the guy puts it.
The guy Norman Bates puts his knife around my neck
and goes, how many Fantasy points are Eddie Lacy tonight?
And I just just got twenty four Fantasy So apparently
he had a Lacy this Fantasy league too. He wanted
to know how many Fantasy points. Yet Norman Bates asking
(31:49):
me about Eddie Lacy and Fantasy because.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
NFL is king.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
That's how it goes.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
That's how it goes. That's awesome. That's good. So there
you go.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
So that I mean, maybe the same Norman baits you
and I knew the same guy.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
I'm gonna guess, okay, you guess. No, they try to
keep Norman Bates looking young.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Oh yeah, okay, I.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
Know what I'm saying. Yeah, like exactly like they wanted
to feel like you're back in that time. Sure, sure, yeah,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
Okay, this is why he's he's fifty five. This interesting
hunched over a little bit in the back. I think
I could take him. I don't think you're able to
stab me.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
I think'd all right, now your tour guide. Maybe your
tour guide that one maybe I did?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
All right, yeah, all right? What about what's trending in
the wide world of sports?
Speaker 3 (32:28):
How did that?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
How did that Dodger Brewer game end? Oh?
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Well, of course, of course, just because your Mets game
was rescheduled due to weather.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
We can't talk about. You didn't lose. You didn't you
didn't win.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
You didn't lose it all Mets Oriols West postponed. Fine, Yes,
the Dodgers have lost six in a row, getting swept
back to back series, this time against the Brewers, who
walked it off three to two. Chip Chip Cheerio Jackson
Cheerio with the walk off single in that tenth inning.
The Braves right now are up on the A's eight
to two. It's the top of the seventh inning. The
Diamondbacks have added some more runs. They're on top the
(33:00):
Padres seven to two in San Diego, bottom of the
eighth inning about to start. After six innings, the Rangers
and the Angels are tied at six apiece. Earlier today
in baseball, the Phillies crushed the Giants thirteen zero. The
Yankees defeated the Mariners nine to six. Jas Chishom Junior
with two homers in that one. The race held on
seven to three against the Tigers, snapping Detroit's five game
winning streak. Also, Ray slugger junior Camide Kaminetto, who leads
(33:24):
to the American League third basement in home run says
that he's gonna partake the in the home run Derby
on Monday in Atlanta. Big news in the NBA, well,
big news for Devin Booker because he's gonna make a
lot of money. He and the Sons have agreed to
a two year, one hundred and forty five million dollar
maximum contract extension with the franchise through the twenty nine
to twenty thirty season, the highest annual extension salary in
(33:45):
NBA history. Another story about money, but in the NFL,
and not a good one. Did you hear this one yet?
Jason Vikings linebacker Dallas Turner wired two hundred and forty
thousand dollars to scammers who convinced him that they were
representatives of his bank.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a tough one. How I know,
I know.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I got a call from the bank, supposedly I'm using
air quotes, telling him that there was somebody trying to
take money from him. So he went to two different
banks and transferred one hundred and twenty thousand dollars to
two businesses that obviously don't exist and are not real.
But when you're at the bank, wouldn't you, Hey, you
guys called me earlier today, right, Yeah, that'd be the
(34:26):
first thing you ask, sir, why are you doing this?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
All I was telling you you the bank would say
something and say, hey, is a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
It wasn't ten thousand dollars, Yeah, one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars, two different banks that you went to to
do this wire transfer. And apparently he's recovered twenty five
hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Wow, that's wow, that's just.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Like how in today's d him age. Yeah, come on,
I know, I know, I know then, Kendal, I know,
And apparently he only realized that maybe he was a
victim of a scam after he told his family member
the story.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah, that's you did what you sent what to call
the bank right now? Call them? Now? What are you doing?
Speaker 4 (35:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Oh it's a rough story.
Speaker 3 (35:12):
It's a rough story. How it can still happen today?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Thanks a bunch of mons.
Speaker 5 (35:17):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (35:17):

Speaker 3 (36:34):
Be blately boh my god, roughly.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
B I E B E R B.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Sure.
Speaker 1 (36:40):
Yes, I'm pretty sure I thought they were beavers. No,
I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure they're his fans Are beavers. No,
they're the believers. No, they hold sticks and teeth beavers.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
They No, it's the believers. Very good, Jason, look at that.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
They're making a damn the must love this song waters
not wait by that, No, it kind of does. But
now I just picturing a bunch of beavers listening to
Justin Bieber saying, baby, just like pad padding mud, Yeah,
with the big padding the mud up against the sticks. Yeah,
keeping great for our ecosystem.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Yeah sure, yeah, okay, and so are the believers on.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
The fact believers, they almost look like platypuses. Okay, listen,
I think duck beaver. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, this
is where the duck build platypus comes in. Yes, we've
heard a lot about but never seen. But just be
real with me, Jason. When you say Believerer, that sounds weird,
but that's what But that's what it is. Because it's Bieber,
they find a way to make it sound good. So
(37:37):
Belieber must want to be like young fans then, yeah,
how old do you think his fans work? Yeah, his
fans were like early twenties. No, his fans were like
six years old by tickets. Bieber's fans right now are
like twenty eight years old. I used to love that guy.
Speaker 5 (37:52):
Yeah, yeah, fantastic. Yeah he was a skater, boy, I
said Cola to boy. Yeah, it wasn't good enough for me. Uh,
slamming on his guitar. Yeah, that's happening right now.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
It's okay, yeah, yeah, nah, yeah, even all the way
back in the early ones. All right. So, uh, it's
been a bit of a controversy this past couple of
days at Juan Soto of the Mets is not an
all Star. Now he's had an incredible last month, plus
his OPS is over nine hundred. He is back to
being Juan Soda. Remember when one Sodo stunk and was
(38:28):
so miserable it was awful. Yeah, those are the days.
So now, hey, Wan Soto not being an All Star
has become a thing, and up until this point, every
time he's been asked about it the last few days's
been a I'd love to be loved be an All Star,
but you know it's Hey, it doesn't happen. You know,
I'll try to get back there in the future. Except today,
when he was asked about not being an All Star,
he had a little bit of a different answer for
(38:49):
why he would really love be going to Atlanta for
the game.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
Would you have the team.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Technician?
Speaker 2 (38:57):
I think it's it's a lot of money on the table.
Would I make it?
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (39:01):
Shut up one, it's a lot of money on the
table Montsi. Can you tell me how much money would
Wan Sodo get uh or being selected to the All
Star of one hundred grand? Let me double jack money,
all start yeah, okay? And All Start Star okay? And
he is, yes, one hundred thousand dollars And how much
is he making Let me check it out, hanging I
(39:22):
think he's what's the number? I think he signed it.
I think he signed a three year, two million dollar deal.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Hang on like per minute?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Yeah, three or two?
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Yeah, that would be seven hundred and sixty five million
dollar contract. Yeah. It's tough for me because you know,
this is my team, right, and he's my god right
for the next fifteen years of my life.
Speaker 4 (39:41):
Right.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
He's like your child that did something wrong but you
can't admit it, so you're like, oh, he's cute now,
Oh he was just kidding.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
He's a believer. You know two things about Wan Sodo.
Sometimes he just really makes it difficult, really makes difficult.
But the other part is is that I want to
tell him, Hey, maybe this would have sound fun and
charming if you were playing for a different team. But
when you are a guy that now polarizes people because
of the contract you got, that ain't gonna play, right,
(40:10):
you have a bulls eye on you. How do you
think it's gonna play When a guy that just signed
for seven hundred and sixty five million dollars is moaning
about ah, a hundred grand, you just gotta kiss that goodbye.
I guess we're not going on vacation this year if
not happening, all right?
Speaker 3 (40:24):
If you would have said that, if I was one
of the reporters and that was his response, I would
have just stared at him and waited until he followed
up or doubled down and be like, oh, so you're
one hundred k out of your six seven hundreds whatever
a million dollar contract.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
And it's not like losing the money, isn't it's free
money that he'd be getting.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Shut up, shut up on soo how it's so toned
up to the situation. And you're right if he wasn't
a Met, if he didn't have this deal, different situation. Also,
if you didn't have such a rough start to the
season too, Like you're just saying that right now because
you're feeling good about yourself. Had the All Star Game
been two months ago, you wouldn't have been singing this
tune what you have?
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah, No, it's tough. I mean, it's time. I can't
I can't defend it. I can't defend it.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Good.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
At least the Mets didn't lose today. That's all I have.
So I got today. Jason Smith, Montsi Bollagio is coming
up next. Hey, you want to talk about somebody who
had a really bad day and someone who had a really,
really great day. They happened to not really like each other,
and that story's next, Fox. Is it Justin Bieber? Believer?
