Greetings, Welcome in side our three, The Jason Smith Show

What is a haboob. I'm glad you asked. It is
a It is a dust storm that overtook Phoenix today.
Go into Twitter and type in and type in haboob
this is a couple hours ago from a work computer. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
(00:41):

and erase whatever digital footprint you have. Uh. You type
in haboob and you see and you see even cleeping
the Jerry Jones back into that. You told us to
stick it up, all right, So you type in haboob
and you see all these videos of from downtown Phoenix,
(01:06):
from office buildings, of this big dust storm that makes
its way through the city. Now, if you've ever seen
The Mummy or if you've ever seen Mission Impossible, the
fourth one Ghost Protocol when when Tom Thrs Is chasing
the guy and all of a sudden, the big dust
storm is going through. Like that's what this looks like.
It looks like this big dust storm that is going

and it's really bleep and scary. Man, you see this,
like well, like people are taking this from the videos

thing missing was like some sort of like the boob

it's fine, it's it's it's it's everywhere. That's a guy
in the place. It's a haboob a boob. You're just
sending it down into a very dark place for Jason.
I think the h a is silent, no, very nice. Frostburg, Yeah,
oh you're right. So I could just say it just
(03:06):
like that. All right, great, it's a big he said.
He said, Oh, he just said the word and you
don't bleep it. They both just said the word. Oh no,
it's too late. Mary. Now you're all getting that was
far beyond your restrictions. You're fired. But you're firing here,
you Lieutenant Weinberg. You're fired. Banke you Blanke, you like
(03:30):
I'm fine, I said, I said, welcome to free Agency.
Let's go. I said the name of a massive dust storm.
And I was using the proper and correct terminology. You guys,
you guys sided to get all loose lipped with what
you wanted to say. Yeah, we made it funny. It's
midnight at the oasis, No nothing for you to be
pc right, But then why am I getting bleeped? Then
(03:52):
why you're not getting bleeped? The agent told us that
it's stick it up all Oh, so I get bleep
for saying that. But Jason Smith says a haboob on
the air and that I don't understand that. I don't
get it. I don't get it. I don't know what
(04:12):
you're talking about. You know, you know who you need
to talk to. You know what you got to is
our affiliate director Kirk Kreutch mar it takes all selfies.
He's got to take video with us and send it
to us like from the middle of the haboob, like
we need kurk Crutch butter do that for us. He's
got a selfie of him and Berman. I make him
show everybody every time I see it. It's the best.
It's the best pissed off, the best picture in the world.
(04:35):
Uh so, Kurt, if you're listening, we need we need
haboob video. It's some more of your own haboo video.
Oh now I don't get bleep for that though. Why
Mary's running out of bleeps. I'm out. I just don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
Like I'm trying to time it, you know, I'm all out.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Trying to time it. Remember the agent told us, is
stick it up? All right? You time that. I'm still
trying to figure out the proper way to describe that.
Berman respond, I really, it's it's a picture, you say,
I go, really know what? Every time I see Kurt,
I go, do you have that picture you took with
Chris Bermonday? All right here right? And it's the best picture.
It's I can't, I can't. I don't know how to
(05:07):
probably describe the I don't know that I can describe it.
It's just the best. It's at a game. Nothing's awful,
nothing's bad. It's just him a selfie out a game
with Burman. He asked Burman to take a picture of
it with him, and the picture is just it's outstanding. Yeah,
I don't know how to properly describe the the visceral
reaction that you get fromman in that moment. No, I
(05:29):
don't know either. It's the best one of them. What
would emotion would you use to describe it? Like, you know,
here's the thing, you know what you know? How how
in all these tech companies and different new new businesses,
and you know we're doing the new thing. Like they
put big pictures on the walls of like influential people
or big moments in history, like we want you to
walk by this every day. I want you to see
big moments. Like if I had a business, like I
(05:52):
would get that picture blown up so I could walk
past it every day. I want that blow I would
I'd want that. I would want Ray Knight crossing home
plate eighty six series with his hands on his helmet.
I'd want that. I'd want Joe Namath with one finger,
and I'd want the curtain. Give me a thousand dollars.
I can get this done for you. Can we put
(06:13):
it out to me for free, but I'll still charge you. Oh,
only one thousand dollars, okay. Can we put it up
here at the walls, like I'd want to put it
up here at Fox Sports Radio can we do that? No, yeah, yeah,
I would have to put on a stand up kind
of thing that you could put your picture next to
best picture. I think we should have that put up
and we should take it to movie theaters. Okay, see
(06:33):
like people going and do it next to Hey, there's
the standy for this next I don't know, insert movie.
We're gonna take it to movie. If you photoshop them
in that picture in the hubboob, oh, that'd be fun. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure,
you don't see it all around and it's just maybe
you could probably superimpose that. I like that. Yeah, I
(06:54):
could do that again. It's you know, it's a hoboob
no bleep. But if I say the air that the
agent told us to stick it up, all right, they
get bleeped on that every time. It's funny when she
catches me. I can't she's fast that Mary. You know,
maybe she could be wide receiver for us. Uh uh,
you know, couldn't make the couldn't swing the deal, and
(07:15):
you know we got pickings, which I don't know. Who
knows if he's going to show upbody else? Yeah yeah, oh, hey,
would you want to wear that maca Parsons jersey? Mary,
come in and play play for us a little bit.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I would have never dared or dream to play on
the Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
And I'll and I'll give you half the money I
was gonna pay macawby. All very well, this is the
Cowboys of nineteen ninety two. But don't tell your agent.
We never tell, never, so which is a great little fun.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I'm trying to think of the letter that Durel Reeves
put out was good making fun of the He made
fun of the Union without making fun of them. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
show me you want to make fun of the union
without actually making fun of the union. But look this
other story. Wow, we're keeping track of the next move.
Never know when that's going to hit. Remember the agent
(08:06):
after midnight? Agent told us to stick it up? All right?
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Dan Campbell said something today that I absolutely love. All right,
Lions head coach, this is I said, no, it is
a super Bowl or bust year for the Lions, like
this is it. And most coaches, when you're faced with
that kind of pressure, you want to back away from
it and say, hey, listen, I want to make sure
we're not playing the super Bowl tomorrow. We're not playing
(08:33):
the NFC Championship game tomorrow. The Lions. The last two
years in the NFC, they've been the best team overall
the last two years. Now, it doesn't mean they were
the best team. Last year, they weren't. They weren't the best.
They were the best team in the NFC. The year
before they weren't. But the last two years their body
of work has been better than anybody. Elst And it
doesn't get you a whole No it doesn't. But that's
why this is a super Bowl or bust year. Like
(08:55):
this is weird because after this year, right, Jared Goff
has to get paid again, and I'm on rossaying Bread
got to get paid. Williams has to get paid, like Knuckles.
It's gonna look it's gonna look really different, right, Jamire
Gives is gonna want money because he's proved. Sonic and
Knuckles will be showing up at your door. Here's the thing, Sonic,
will Knuckles won't. I'll tell you alone. But normally this
(09:18):
is where you shy away from stuff because again, you're
not playing this game now and you want to get
get into the season and and say we just want
to do our own thing and we'll get we'll get
ready and think playoffs as we get on, want to
think about winning, playing well, winning the division. But here's
Dan Campbell today absolutely embracing the high expectations of this season.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Is the best we felt about it, kind of top
to bottom. And now that being said, there's still holes.
But I bring this up all the time. Every roster
has holes and you'll never have it exactly where you
totally want it. But from where we've come year after year,
this is we've taken in another level. And that's a
credit to Brad. You know, what Brad's done in the
(10:01):
personnel department is outstanding.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Man.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
He's just continued to elevate. You know, I bring up
the floor. You know we know the ceiling, well, we
don't even really know the ceiling. There's still so many
of these players that are continuing to get better and better,
that are really good players. But by doing that, the
floor has men has really raised and so our baseline
is pretty dang good right now.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Reference to Brad Holmes, the executive vice president, and it
could be Brad Pitt. Boy, he race great and f
one he was really good. We can if we can,
we can do that. I mean, not Brad Pitt at
the end of F one. But you know Brad Pitt
during F one, Uh, not that anything happen. Okay, you
know what, just see the movie and he goes and
drives it into the desert again. It's great. Yeah, where
the hoboob could get him where? But uh well, I
(10:47):
will get you something. I loved this because he knows. Hey,
whether we want to realize it or not, these expectations
are there, so why not take them on right away?
We know they know it's a Super Bowl or bust year.
Right even though the Eagles won the Super Bowl last year, Hey,
the Lions, you gotta break through that you lost last year.
I can't believe that. You know, they're probably still stunned.
(11:10):
They got down early to wash the ball. They couldn't
stop Jayden Daniels at all, and they wound up going
home way early like this is. And they know this
is their last chance, and so here is and this
is the leg before changes after we made to the roster,
because you can't keep everybody now like this is it.
That's why this is super Bowl of bust for this team.
And I love the fact that he's not downplaying anything
or pushing stuff to the side. This is the best
(11:31):
we felt about our roster in the time I've been here.
Forget about the fact we lost both our coordinators, we
lost our OC, we lost our DC. No, no, no,
we This is the best we have felt about our
team and this roster since we've been here. And I
love that about Dan Campbell. Look, it don't like a
lot of his in game management, especially when he gets
to the playoffs, but I love what the culture that
(11:53):
he's built, the team he has put on the field,
and what he instills the lines with belief, and he says, listen,
we're not running from this this year. We can't run
from this. This is the best we have been. We
expect to win and win big, and we know where
we got to get to. And there's an old adage
it says, you can't win the title if you're afraid
to talk about it, and this is him going the
opposite way. And I love that he's embracing everything with
this challenge. Yeah. The follow up questions, obviously, with Ben
(12:15):
Johnson gone, does that mean that any pass is thrown
two or by an offensive lineman or out of the playbook?
I'll hang up an answer answer. The Eagles are the
favorite in the NFC at plus seven hundred, the Lions
second eleven to one, the Packers eighteen to one. The
(12:36):
Rams and Commandage come thereafter. The Jets are sitting down,
not getting they're just sitting down. Part of the curve.
We're sitting down. They are two hundred and twenty five
to one. We're twenty five to one. Twenty five No,
twenty five to one. No, that's great. I mean I
think twenty five to one is where they should be,
righty was dollar. Yeah, no, you might as well just
(12:58):
burn that thing. You are only ahead of the Browns
and the Saints. Yeah, I can't really sugarcoat that. The
Browns at fifty to one. I will say this, I
feel pretty confident we're gonna win more games than the
Browns and the Saints total, like combined. We'll win more
(13:19):
games than the Browns and the Saints combined because they
are gonna fight over picking first, like two highlanders at
the end, where it's like I'll chop your head off
to be able to get this number one pick and
get arch manning all Browns and the Saints. It'll be
like a like a knockdown drag out. Oh you know
what you just did you just activated all It'll be
like Rocky coming after you. It'll be like Rocky and
(13:41):
Drago and Rocky four. Like that's how that's how fat.
That's fight gonna go. It's gonna go all the way down.
Well maybe no, maybe in the end, do we get
to do our dance in our weird hug on the beach?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Sure, I was gonna say maybe it's more Rocky too,
because that was more what that fight went like? Twenty
seven rounds? No, that was good, that is real? Yeah?
Do I have to outrun the haboob? You cannot run one?
Tom Cruise, couldn't out run one in in mission impossible
for you can't out really cannot run one. He was
(14:12):
smooth too fast. Man. Do you think he could now
after training from Africa? Hey, we're getting the Top Gun
universe now, man, that's the next move, Like Skydance just
bought Paramount and that's the next one. Top Gun three
is the next one. Top Gun Universe. Fantastic. You think
they'll play volleyball and geen shorts again, I don't know.
We've had volleyball and football. What's next? Wheelchairs? Tom Cruise? Now?
(14:37):
Is that is that? How you out run the habo.
That's what it is. Yeah, they play some kind of
new song and you outrun the haboob is it pickleball?
It's pickleball, just grabbing it at their back after they swim.
I can't do it. I can't do it. No, it's

(17:08):
eventually you get to the actual part. Are you gonna
do it? In a in the middle of a haboob,
you always have to look out for the you never
know one things are gonna go south instead that the
voiceover guy, instead of in a world in a haboob,
that the sand through the hour glass, like the days
(17:30):
of our lives blow past you like Arnold Vosslou in
The Mummy or the other guy. I can't remember who
the bad guy was, and the Mummy returns with the
really bad cgi of the Scorpion King who was the
rock Rock now known as Dwayne Johnson back when people
(17:51):
went to see his movies The Haboob in a Haboob.
I think we could make get a movie greenlit call
the Haboob and know that nobody else. I can't believe
there hasn't been yet some kind of bed a sci
fi sci fi Yeah, yeah, and I mean s y
f y like the channel. It hasn't done something about
(18:12):
a haboob? Wasn't the haboob the rocks finishing move? Can
you somemell what haboob's cooking? Again? No bleeps on this way.
You were bleep crazy on the haboo. But am pite
of the the haboob.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
I forgot were you taking the grilled cheese?
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Wow? You forgot what grilled cheese was called? Holy cow?
What do you call it? When you grill the cheese
on the grilled cheese?
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Right?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Got it? Okay? I put it on that machine and
it did the thing, So I gotta say that before
you get into the bay. It's really good. Sometimes you
gotta get a couple of different kinds of cheese in there,
a little bit of greere and uh, maybe some pimento dependents.
You want a little bit of kick in it. Uh,
they got that unexpected cheddar now. But then but then
that that that that wind came out really good? What
(19:01):
do you call that heavy wind? Taboom came and just
you know, Duke blew the grilled cheese right out of
my hand. And then the agent called and said stick
it up, all right. So all those things happen and
I never got a grilled cheese sandwich. What's your question? Yeah?
Uh so I want to say this because this happened.
John Paul Morosi is gonna join us tomorrow night on
(19:23):
the show MLB Network Insider. Maybe Wednesday, Okay, it doesn't matter.
He joins us this week. He put out a tweet
that he said was just for me, just for you,
just for me. And I dig him for this, okay,
uh he said. Juan Soto has score is on pace
to score one hundred runs this year for the Mets. Wonderful.
(19:45):
The last two times Juan Soto has done that in
twenty nineteen and twenty twenty four. His team's got to
the World Series. Don Dune and he sent me a tech.
He sent me a DM saying, Jason, this is for you,
speaking in New Existence, speaking in speaking in I just
(20:05):
thought it's kind of funny because as in show, Toddy
scored like one and eighty four runs. That's not the
that's not this tweet though. That's a different tweet from
a different guy. You can go get that tweet from
kemro Go get that street, Go get that tweet from
Jason Stark, Go get that from somewhere else. We got
this from John Paul Morosi. Okay, it's a pretty big
just for you, yes, just for me. Was he saying about,
(20:28):
is that what's gonna blow one so to that hundredth runs?
You know, we were just reading about the Uh, okay,
cause the reason we're saying this is because I'm gonna
go past. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna
blow right past what you just said right there. Uh,
we were just reaching reading about because there was a
big haboo, big dust storm in Phoenix night, which your
video is incredible. Uh, and the mammoth. Actually, Arizona State
(20:53):
had one delay a game for like two and a
half hours a couple of years ago. Apparently it came
in you couldn't play in the middle of the haboob No,
it's tough. You got to make sure you got those
extra goggles laying right now. That game, yes, Boise State, right,
it was Arizona State, Aona State against Boise State. Was
(21:13):
an Arizona State bois State. At the game. They didn't
who do they play? Does it really matter? I'm just
asking okay, all right, it was it was It was
an Arizona State Haboob game. That's the Boob game. I
think every game game it's the Haboob game. So elsewhere
in baseball, while you're now, you're you're getting the Mets
(21:34):
ready for the World Series. Absolute baseball history tonight, and
before you you go any we go any further, I
want to say, we are in the midst of seeing
something that no one has seen in at least twenty
years of Major League baseball, and outside of that, no
one's ever seen it. Tonight, cal Rally of the Mariners
(21:57):
hit home run number fifty. He's got the record for
home runs by a catcher and he joins Mickey Mantle.
I mean, it's something when you join Mickey Mantle in
the record books because he and Mantle are the only
switch hitters now to hit fifty home runs in a season.
Here's home run number fifty from cal Rally.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
The three to two other win of cal.
Speaker 6 (22:21):
Swinging a well hit ball deep the left field head
into the upper deck State Fair upper deck could fie
baseball number fifty for cal Raley. He becomes one of
only thirty three members of the fifty home run club.
And the magical season just tissues for cal Raley, ho,
(22:45):
he smokes what.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
A shot Mariners TV on the call. Now, okay, only
switch hitters him and Mantlip fifty home runs in a season.
Rally is also the first player to hit twenty homers
from each side of the plate. Never seen that before
in Major League Baseball. Right because Mantle most of his
home runs coming from left side. This is both. This
is twenty home runs from each side. Outside of Mike
(23:09):
Piazza in nineteen ninety seven, we can sit here in
debate what was Mike Piazza doing everything else? Mike Piazza
over forty home runs, one hundred and twenty four RBI,
the guy at three sixty seven, his war was something
insane like nine. Outside of Piazza's ninety seven. Cal Rally
is going to end up with the second best season
by a catcher in the history of baseball, in the
(23:32):
history of the game. He's gonna have the second best
season behind Piazza. Because you look, you can cut it
up however you want to. But in the end, okay,
home runs a lot. He's gonna have sixty home runs. Right,
The RBI will be a few more than Piazza. But again,
Piazza's War is over nine, and he's and he hit
three seventy, okay, cal Raley's gonna hit about two fifty. Okay,
(23:54):
So Piazza's gonna hit one hundred and twenty points higher
than cal Rally. And this is back. Batting average doesn't
mean as much now as it used to, but it
meant a lot in the nineties. And you can't sugarcoat
hitting three seventy like this is like Tony Gwynn would
hit three seventy in his Hey, Dad, that's you expect
guys that George Brett would hit three seventy a couple
of times. The best hitters once in a while would
(24:15):
hit three seventy. And Piazza's three seventy forty one twenty
four War of almost ten. Yeah, I'll give I'll give
him that year. But Calra this is the second best
season that anybody has ever seen from a catcher in
the history of the game. Yeah, I'm just trying to
go back through some of the great performances. I mean,
you had single seasons again going to batting average, where
(24:36):
guys like Buster Posey put up big numbers, yeah, or
or certainly home runs back Johnny Bench would hit like
forty eight. Yeah, right, he got to forty five. And
it's like, and that stands out for its time again
because the catching position was I mean, there was a
dearth of guys that really gave you much offensively. Uh,
you had Carlton Fisk obviously, and there's there's a handful
(24:57):
of guys that stood out. But for the most part,
it was handle your pitching staff and if you get
a little bit of a contribution beyond a two twenty
five batting average, you got there. Right. Ivon Rodriguez Hall
of Famer again, one of those guys that we look
at and some will raise their eyebrow, and rightfully so
in terms of when guys played or whatever. I mean,
(25:18):
we we cast aspersion and certainly it raised questions over
an entire arc. Piazza included that you go through and
like to look, you have what you do, and look
look at the stats that were put up. I mean,
Piazza was always just incredible, right. Vlad Guerrero was the
bad ball hitter, bouncing the dirt and just knock it
(25:39):
over the right field fence. Piazza was always like, didn't
that ball actually hit the catcher's mid Yeah, Oh yeah, yeah,
wait now it's in right fit. He would hit ball
so late and with such power again Mike Piazza. Okay,
but the balls with such power because he had that
loop in that swing that he would speed up and
be able to get that bat out there. You couldn't
get him out like usually a right handed batter, you
(26:02):
go high and away, you're gonna get him out right.
For a left handed batter, usually go low and away.
That get that, that gets him out right. You go
right handed batter, it's high and away. And I can't
tell you how many times he would hit something high
and away that would be six to eight inches off
the plate and it's a home run, or it's off
the wall in right center field. He able to do that,
but you have to catcher looking at his glove like yeah,
pretty sure it was oh yeah yeah. So like Piazza
(26:25):
was really a marvel. And never mind the whole him
Roger Clements thing of many years ago. But but what
cal Rawley's doing now is just absurd. Like every night
it's the all right, then he hit water two. Yeah, yeah,
he hits a home run every day. You registered the website,
it's a stats and the number fifty is great, but
that's not what makes that home run amazing. What they did,
(26:47):
the progress, the pojet that I mean, it was, you know,
if you're gonna go John Miller, go full John Miller. Yeah, Audios,
come on the fact that the Dodgers are going to
own first place again all by themselves in the nl
West after night. Yeah, they're helping, helping you beat thet
the And I do want to say, and he hit
(27:11):
one that was drifting, George, I'm like, oh, he got
a dirt track. And I do want to say, because
I I challenged Frostburg and to Sega a couple of
hours ago, hey, can you come up with a sweep
he or at least win tonight? Yeah, to help the
Mets out, the Mets who thumped the Phillies, and the
Dodgers beating the Red seven nothing as the Red's bat
in the top of the night thing.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I feel pretty good. The Dodgers will hold on to
this though. I appreciate that you're still not making the playoffs.
But yeah, wait, do we see you again in the
in the NLCS, except well left Soto this time with
his hundred runs scored and the World Series guarantee just wait, whoa,
whoa just sweeted it out? All right? Well hold on
(27:48):
you sure you got the check mark and it's our guy,
it's Johnny, and he's got something about the pope up
there and DM me about it. You can't. You can't
fake John Morosi and DM me. You can't do it.
It's that John Morosi. You can't just have boob your
way through my time. Hey, you could come sweeping through
like a haboob, like you had no nobody's business. You
cannot you cannot do that, man, that is not gonna happen.
(28:09):
Trying to find what your odds are now, I feel
like I need to go to Vegas and bed it.
If that's kind of we got that kind of informa. Yeah,
I mean they gotta be. It's gotta be all the
way down to nothing all in. I mean, really, that's
what it is. We gotta be right there now. I
would be curious if suddenly there was a ton of
money that did come creeping in. Uh. The Mets are
ten to one to win the NL. Yeah, because they
saw we did last year going in and as a
(28:30):
as a wildcard team. Of course, you feel like you
feel like you want to get on board that we're doing. Yeah,
we got McLean series. Yeah, dude, all the young pictures
are coming because we have no choice because all the
rest of us starting pictures outside of Nolan McLean stink.
So I mean, hey, we're gonna bring up the young
guys and the new generation. K is here man, We're
going bally done. We're good. I mean, Nolan Ryan's only
(28:52):
seventy eight. Can he, you know, end it where he
started it? Nolan Ryan is seventy eight, and I bet
you he could still row. I bet you he could.
Just eighty five. I was gonna say, I bet he
could throw his age. I bet he could still throw
his He threw on eighty five. He threw in eighty
five like he could have been pitching the last years.
(29:13):
He still could have that too. He still could have
been done that. Scholar time how to find out what's
trending in the wide world of sports. But guy has
been called the Nolan Ryan of Fox Sports Radio because
he once beat up Robin Ventura. It's Steve de Sager.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
That is quite a video if those haven't seen Robin
Ventura attempting to charge the mound back in the day.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
I give him though, because everybody else just said, yeah,
I'll take my plunking And yes, sir.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
Yeah, okay, you gotta do a better job than maybe
keep the helmet on next time. Yeah, well, just to thought.
By the way, you mentioned Juan Soto. Sarah Lang's the
great statistician has been keeping tabs throughout the season and
updated the stat tonight. In Met's history, most walks drawn
in a season, John olrud at one twenty five. Juan
Soto has one hundred and six walks so far. He's
(30:03):
gonna break that before we get to September. No, we're
still in August.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
He starts every count two and oh I'm not lying.
He starts every count too, and oh they just give
him head start stop you play Michael Confordo in the outfield. Wow, yeah,
there's no comeback on.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
That's a just drop that microphone. What the amazing season
cal Rawley is having throw this in. He's doing this
as a catcher, and on top of that, wasn't just
the Gold Glove catcher. He was the Platinum Glove Award
winner last year, meaning cal Rawley for Seattle last year
(30:41):
was the best defensive player at any position.
Speaker 7 (30:44):
Plus he's doing this on offense. It would be nice
if the batting average was a little higher.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
But did they give him anything made out of platinum,
because that's a huge ass bonus. I mean, platinum is expensive.
And he's got fifty on runs. He's knocked in one
hundred runs plated. Maybe alright, So to get right, Steve,
he he's it's still August fifty fifty runs, one hundred
and seven seven rby eyes, and you're complaining about his
batting average because.
Speaker 7 (31:09):
Here's why, Because when Felix Hernandez won the cy young
people complained, Ah, he's only what with thirteen and ten
or whatever? It was, as if he was hitting in
the American League bag, as if he had anything to
do with whether he got the.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
W that night. You remind this reminds me of my mom,
and I guess it's maybe gets to why I am
as a person like I would come home, She'd go,
how'd you do on your science test?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
Mom?
Speaker 1 (31:32):
I got a ninety three? Okay? What did Andrea Glassberg get?
She got a ninety seven? What did Joseph Scheltz get
He got a ninety five? Okay, I got a ninety three.
So I gotta come over with a sixty seven. I
got a ninety three. Were they in her showing circle
or something. They're just people, just the other friend moms.
They were just smart people in my class that I knew.
(31:53):
What did albert Useth get? He got a ninety nine?
He gets a ninety nine TEGs.
Speaker 7 (31:57):
Cal Rowley can put out a two ten batting average
like nobody's business in his career, so madding two forty
seven is actually an accomplishment for him at this point.
But out of his fifty homers, great statistician Jeremy Frank
pointed out he has thirty homers from the left side,
meaning from the left side alone, he would be leading
(32:17):
twenty one different teams in homers.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Wow so far this season. That is a final.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Seattle over San Diego nine to six, fiftieth homer for
cal Rawley. The A's beat Detroit and Tarrek Scooble eight
to three. Schooble had twelve strikeouts and six and two
thirds allowed just one earned run, and the Dodgers, with
two outs in the ninth are leading the Reds seven nothing,
so just about everything is final. The Mets be Philadelphia
thirteen to three, Milwaukee over Arizona seven to five. The
(32:45):
Raiders acquired quarterback Kenny Pickett from Cleveland. Washington gave wide
receiver Terry McLaurin a three year extension, and the Bengals
gave defensive end Trey Hendrickson a pay rais for this year.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Back to you. Thank you, Steve Op. Now coming up next,
I don't know what we're going to do, because Justin
Frostburg says, I got something for you guys tonight. We
have to talk about it. It's something about BANDA, I said,

a haboob ooh, but it's a surprise. I don't know
what it is, but we're gonna do it. We're gonna
(33:16):

a ball that Ellie de la Cruz could not get.
I believe he did. He knocking all the runs tonight
(34:18):
for the Dodgers. Sure as hell, seem like it at times.
Oh Man, back back back, j h Now. I don't
know what we're gonna do here, but Frostburg has a
story that he says, we have to do this, we
have to talk about it. Okay, I don't know what
it could be another hoboob story. I don't know. You
can't stop at just one. Well, yeah, there are another
(34:41):
Hoboob somewhere, like topping. Ah you did that, I see
you did their topping boob. Maybe it's like the new
Twister movie, like the Haboob. Like I said, a Twister Haboob.
Glenn Powell now stars in ha boob. He doesn't deserve that.
All right, So what we got justin? What do you have? Well,
this does involve toppings, by the way, okay, uh okay,
(35:02):
extra extra cheese and meatball. No, but it is one
of your guys's absolute specialties, especially yours, Jason. Okay, it's
a chicken nugget. Oh wow, okay, all right, you know
horrible chicken wine. Anybody, I'm intrigued. I'm intrigued. Give me more,
tell me more. Well, as you know the US Open,
(35:22):
uh not not the golf, the tennis stuff their way
first round, right, yeah, I'm sure, yeah, yeah. Watch photographers
running on the court there. Where's that Queen's right? Yep?
I mean it's by where the where the Mets play
in New York City field illegally hung that microphone in
center field horribly horribly Also those guys, it's terrible, right
(35:42):
right right, a mincrophone that's been there for seven years. Yeah, no, oh,
that's why that was funny.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Play.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
But that was funny. The Phillies postgame justin, they were
complaining that Alex wasted. They were complaining that he wasted
nineteen minutes of their time, uh, fighting about something that
Phillies babies. I don't know, man, who were baby bigger babies.
The Phillies were complaining about a microphone in center field.
(36:08):
That's why I hit into a double play or Ohio
State for banning Dave Portend Phillies from Ohio State from
from the stadium this week he's part of Big Nude Kickoff. Well,
we no, I mean, I can't believe it. Really, I
can't be a real story. He banned. We gotta we
gotta get more into that coming up next to that
(36:29):
is absolutely it's not an onion story. It's a real thing,
all right. So anyway, so the chicken nugget, like the
honey dewes whatever the out they sold of last year, Okay,
all right, they're rolling out a one hundred dollars caviar
top chicken nugget. You get it's one nugget. I don't know,
(36:55):
hundred dollars nugget. Well, I mean, you know, here's the thing.
I I've had caviar. I've tried it a couple of times,
and it's I don't know, on a chicken nugget. No,
why would you want that? That'sh you know what that is?
That is just made for Hey, we got really rich
people who are coming here. What can we get them
(37:15):
that makes them that that that satisfies their Hey, I'm elite,
but also I'm a Hey, I'm just a kid from
Queen's at Heart. And that ends with one of those
evil laughs, like a doctor evil laugh from the Simpsons.
One hundred dollars for the uh. I would not want
at all to have a chicken nugget with caviar? What
(37:37):
a what a waste of good cavia, right, Mike, Well,
that's want to make nugget. Well, but that would that's
the beauty of it. As we can come from either
side of this. No, we also have to figure out
what the hell kind of cavia a again, because I
could buy a nice canister of it here of Marky's
z Alaskan Salmon roque caveat. Don't do that twelve bucks? Yeah, No,
I'm not. I'm not gonna No, it's it's it's you
(37:59):
can get for clearly really good caviar. Clearly it's got
to be a good nugget as well. So because you're
st such thing, you can't just like go to McDonald's
say get me a six pack and I and then
put some caviar on there. You a hundred bucks. Well
you can't.
Speaker 4 (38:13):
I got popularized from Rihanna.
Speaker 1 (38:16):
But you can't. No, you're ruined popular because of Rihanna.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Yeah, she did a video food. She did a video
of it with MC nuggets and caviar she did.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Yeah, this was like eight months ago maybe really. Yeah,
she's a horrible person.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
She was like talking about like beach trying to be relatable,
momus nuggets for the kids, and then when you want.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
To like for me child abuse, Well, but for all
the folks that are just sitting around, Hey, get that
caviar out. That's being that's being relatable right there. Hey,
may the kids didn't need all the nuggets? What do
we do with them? This is not this is not
quite a chocolate peanut butter moment where oh, let's put
your caviar on top of my nuggets. You got your nugget,
my caviar. If somebody bought you this at the u
(39:00):
US Open, you would take the caveer off of it, right,
I would. If I couldn't scrape it off, I would
shake it off and then get a big thing a
ranch that Taylor. That's not Yeah, that's what I would
do one hundred different artist I'd be I'd be mad
if if it ruined the taste. If I spend one
hundred dollars on a nugget and it was all just
because of the caveat, Yeah, but you'd get enough sauce.
(39:22):
It's only one. It's only one. No, no, no, I
mean I gotta give you a toy in a two
like is it you know a toy from a movie. Look,
everybody wants to be a little boogie. Hey, get get
your toy kid, the toilet kid thing from uh uh weapons. Yeah,
but it this gets you closer to to Rihanna? Is
(39:45):
that not worth the comes to one of my hab
action figure? Yes. Uh. We'll get into two absolutely crazy
stories next
