that from?
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Ye?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I just searched for that one.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Say that's a deep cut.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Thank you, it's a deep v I could step into it.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So the latest on the Chris Paul trade that is
in theory going through to the Wizards. Bradley Beal will
be a member of the Phoenix Suns. They're reinventing their
Big three there. We'll have more on that side of
it in a second. But the most interesting part of
today was Look, this story was first reported over the weekend.
Here's a Chris Paul trade Bradley Beal, who he knew
(04:52):
was on the market a week ago. And we said
the Wizards hold the key to the off season because
Bradley Beal and Chris tops Porzingis and Kyle Kuzma a
couple of are free, but Porzingis can opt in. But
last season's Wizards really have the key to the season
in front of them because all of them are players who,
if healthy, can put teams over the top. Beal can
do it, Porzingis can do it if he's a three
(05:14):
or a four on a team. And we see how
good Kyle Kuzma has been. But now we know the
trade's coming. Okay, that's great, Bradley Beal is going to
be a son. What's going to happen?
Speaker 3 (05:23):
To Chris Paul And he went on Good Morning America today.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It was a great timing. Hey, I'm gonna go on
talking about my book. You might want to check social
media before you go on, just to be updated on
all the stories happening. And he told the story about
how he found out he was traded. He said, I
was flying in New York and my fourteen year old
son found out on social media that I was going
(05:49):
to be traded. I was going to Washington for Bradley Beal.
And this is not the first time you've heard this story,
but it's time after hearing this again, it's time to
have a conversation about it because this is when I
think I can do things better than other people that
I that even though they have more experience at it
than I do. Because if you're the general manager of
(06:11):
a team, and your job is to trade players and
make players and make them and trade them and and
move on. How do you not call Chris Paul and
at least tell them, hey, dude, we're gonna trade you.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Why do you not do that? But as Chris Paul said,
he had just talked to James Jones before getting on
the plane, how do you not talk to him Sunday? Yeah?
How do you not call the guy? How do you
not call his agent?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Or say if you're the Sons, how do you not
call him or is a and say, listen, we're trading Chris.
We're letting you either you call him directly or but
you see it all the time. I didn't know I
was traded untill I saw it on Twitter. How do
you do that? Because I got to think, you know,
I don't know. Maybe it's just me.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Maybe I have more scruples and and more. You know,
I'm just a better person than a lot of people.
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Maybe I am.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I wouldn't call myself a hero, but I think if
I'm in charge of a team, the first thing I
would do if I'm trading a guy, say I'm to
call him. Un tell May we're trading you. You may
be upset, but you do the whole moneyball thing. Just
be straight with them, Just say, hey, we're trading you.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Jeremy, you've been traded.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Here's the name. Here's here's the Edwade name of the
Wades name. Yeah, dam, you're a good ball player, Jeremy,
and we wish you the best.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
That's it. That's it. Just be straight with you and
I'll come. We We do have a lot of references
back to money Bill Carlos. You've been traded to the Tigers.
Is that it? Uh huh okay, but that's I mean,
I just be straight, right, it's all uncomfortable, right, you
have breakup and hit in the the personal life and
relationships or whatever else. Professionally, usually you get set down.
(07:40):
Once upon a time, you got sat down in an
office and then be an envelope in front of you
or a folder and there'd be something a quick discussion. Hey,
we need you to sign off on this blah, take
a few minutes to read it. We'll be out in
the hallway if you need us. This this is absurd,
Like it's so easy nowadays to get a whole to someone.
(08:01):
You could do the quick FaceTime call. Pick up the
phone and make a call, do a quick text, whatever
you've got. It documented that you were at least the
ones to break the news. And it's gonna be uncomfortable.
It's never easy. Right, But if you're having a phone
call with Chris Paul on Sunday night about the direction
of the squad and or or Saturday by by your
(08:25):
your timeline of this, and then just that fast it
turns into yeah, by the way, we shipped you out,
and no one else like you could have elaid that
those fears or the word taken care of it in
that call. The party will be at eight on Sunday,
and uh yeah, that delivery is coming at two o'clock
on Wednesday, and I had something else for you. Oh
(08:45):
you're tread to the wizards by I'll see we got
we got okay, bye, come bye. Right, it doesn't have
to be the most elegant of speeches or comfortable conversations.
Odds are Chris Paul is just gonna go huh.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
Look, and if he gets mad, he gets mad. But
I don't understand how this still happens in the old days.
I get it where sometimes you make a trade somebody
hears something. Somebody is on vacation somewhere and you're trying
desperately to get a phone call to them because they're
in a foreign country and they're out on a boat
or whatever. But now, no, there's no excuse for it.
And I don't understand how that's not the first thing
(09:18):
to do unless you really wanted to send a message
that you were pissed at him, and you're like, screw it,
the guy can the guy can hear from somebody else.
I don't need to call it. I'm mad at him.
That's the only thing I can think of with a
conversation with James Jones on the telephone.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I mean, because the way Paul laid it out, and
again you take it all with a grain of salt.
He's going to do a promotional appearance. It's only going
to be so savory. But he didn't really give much
in the way of details and didn't go out of
his way to take a flamethrower to anybody. Just here
it is. You've got James and Jones and the shadow
(09:54):
man Isaiah Thomas that design. It's a final mad espia
uh and that's it. But it's business, right, like it
goes back to the old Denzel Washington. It's business, never personal.
It's it's no. That was Wesley Snipe because I was
(10:15):
trying to bring in King Kong got nothing on me.
And I could play it to two bombastic characters with
which you want to yea yeah uh. With New Jackson,
I wanted to go back to Nino Brown here. Yeah.
And I'm a hustler at h us t L. I
celebrate Iced Tea's entire catalog too. But but just that idea,
like if it is business, and I think Chris Paul's
been through enough of this at this point that he
(10:36):
gets it. I mean he'd seen the rumors, see you,
like whether he was going to get released or traded,
like we've been talking about it since the beginning of
the season. If it doesn't work out for this team, because.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
No matter what I think about this, even if you're
the Sons and you're mad at Chris Paul, right, because
that's it, that's the only way I see where they
say screw it. The guy can find out. The guy
can find out because I'm mad at him for whatever reason.
You have to understand and that even if that's the case,
you're the ones who look bad because you're the ones
that made the decision to trade somebody, and you're upbending
somebody's life and you have to at least call him
(11:09):
and tell him you no matter what happens, you look bad.
It doesn't, and I don't get how they're doing. That's
why I means think I'd be a great champ, because
I say, hey, I'm making a trade. I'm gonna call
you and tell you, hey, you've been traded, or at
least leave a message with you. I'll call your agent
and say, hey, can you get Chris on the line.
I don't know if he wants to talk to me.
We're making a deal. He's going to the Wizards. They're
probably gonna buy him out, and he's gonna be able
(11:31):
to sign somewhere else. I'd love to talk to him.
If he doesn't want to talk to me, I get it,
But you need to get him to this because this
is gonna get out soon and the trade is done.
But instead, oh no, no, wait, like guys are walking off.
It's going let's see. Well, we told our owner, we
told payroll, we told uh, all right, he's got it.
When he comes in, he's gotta get his stuff so
we can get it out. We tell anybody, Oh, we
forgot to tell the guy himself. I mean, I don't
(11:52):
get it. I don't get it.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
It's very simple and look, and nobody likes confrontation, all right.
There's a small percentage of people out there. We see
them on social media all the time, instigating fights and
whatever else. That's fine, But in general, in business, you
have to have some level of acumen of doing this, like, hey,
you want this job. It's not the office saying hey,
(12:14):
do you want to be the assistant? Yeah, you have
to fire this guy. Hey you want the job, yet,
go fire that guy your first thing, you have to
fire that guy. Well, I mean that's what Brad Pitt
did with Jonah Hill right in Moneyball. Hey go, uh go,
you gotta you gotta tell me about that.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
But but but my kids in the middle of school year, well,
do not pull your kids out of school.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
What the hell are you saying? I would not believe
at the school, right, I mean, it's it's that kind
of thing. It's like you, yeah, I'm not doing that part.
That's part of the gates. It can be quick, rip
the band aid off and if they want to yell
and screenbrid it's up in the air. The old Clooney
movie with Andick Hedrick before she was doing the thing
with the cups, uh and the and and all of
(12:58):
that is it's never going to be comfortable. It's never
going to be easy. People have their lives, they get
up rooting. In this particular case, basketball players, especially a
guy of Chris Paul's age and history. I mean, he's
moved a few times. He gets it, he understands where
he's at, and he knew where the rumors are. Should
the man some damn respect twitter At How about a fresca?

(15:16):
songs from the nineties ty shirt. So far, you've stumped
me onto what's this one?
Speaker 4 (15:23):
I would be shocked if you knew this or even
watch this. This is the Ben Stillers Show.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Oh wow, I did I know.
Speaker 4 (15:31):
There's a lot of it. But yeah, Andy Dick was
in it too, I did say forgotten shows.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
Was his dad on there screaming at him and anything?
What the hell you doing? This is why we're getting canceled.
How could you trade j Buder? Oh right, bet Rocket.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
For and on?
Speaker 4 (15:53):
I didn't even know he had a show.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Yeah, so why are you playing songs?
Speaker 4 (15:56):
You had no idea, like you said to go forgotten?
I didn't even know it is there?
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I know, okay, you know what? That's a fair point
that is, yeah, I get it. I just thought you
would go with shows that maybe you had heard of.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
I was born in the nineties. I was watching TV
and I know you were.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
But you can watch TV shows from the nineties now
everyone retro is pretty popular.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
You could watch, but you can learn where all of
the points of emphasis and the inspirations for your anime
came from.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Uh more Disney stuff. But yeah, okay, I would say
Andy Griffith is probably one of the older shows I like. Okay,
that's from the sixties, sixties. Yeah, great show.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
The barber Baby, Let's go fifties, Andy Griffith, sixties sixties okay,
all right, very good. Finally, little little Ron Howard I'll
say sixty and the legendary, legendary Ralph Furley getting after
donnots not. It's one of the great actors.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Oh golly, jack ar yeah, fun fact nineteen sixty to nine,
teen sixty eight.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
All right, there we go. Boom.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
And then he became Mattlock. Yes, he was Mattlock from
nineteen sixty nine up until last year. That was a
fantastic show as well. If you if you miss that
and you like the you know, law drama, and comedy.
Speaker 3 (17:11):
That's watch Matt Look He'll find the Evil Culprit.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon Live from the
Tirack dot Com Studios. More on this on this Chris
Paul trade that is going down. Chris Paul is going
to be likely bought out after the trade to the
Wizards goes through. We've heard about this over the weekend.
Bradley Beal, the first Domino to fall in the off season,
is going to the Suns. The Sons remaking their Big
(17:37):
three with Beale, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. And look,
I'd love to be able to give you a hot
take and go, this is the worst trade. This trade sucks,
met No, I love this trade for the Sons. I
love this trade for the Sons because they did exactly
what they had to do. Look, Chris Paul is done.
(17:57):
And I'll admit I was wrong because I said he
was done three years ago. I turned out to be
a year and a half. Because he's really been done
for the last year and a half. And I mean
done to the point of you can't count on him
to be a big player anymore. He's someone that eventually
he would see, you would play well, and then he
would play too many minutes and too many games in
a row, and he get tired and worn down and
(18:19):
suddenly he's not even someone affecting the game. So that's
where he's been done the last year and a half.
And the Suns are not going to go anywhere going
forward saying Okay, it's KD, it's Devin Booker, it's Chris Paul.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
It's wait wait what, no, no, no, Now.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
You bring in a younger, more dynamic player and in
a positionless NBA, it doesn't really matter.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
You can have a look.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
You have anybody you know dishing the ball off. You
have three guys to create their own shots and can score.
You will figure out a way to do this because
the NBA now is about collecting superstars.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
And yes, you could.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Say, on one hand, well, these guys all kind of
do the same thing at some point. Yeah, okay, but
you know what, if it wasn't that big a deal,
then baskets wouldn't be worth two points instead of one.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
So they will figure it out. Other teams have figured
out when they have guys on the floor with similar
skill sets or similar responsibilities, and they've won when when
the heatals started, it was boy Lebron does this and
Wade does this? Is that gonna work? Yeah, they want
to find a way to make it work.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
So the Sons will find a way to make it work,
because now they've gotten someone in Bradley Beal who is
going to affect the game way more than Chris Paul is.
Chris Paul is someone, honestly, you know how he extends
his uh, i'd say his prime, but extends his career.
He's someone that goes to a contender, whether he wants
to go to the Lakers or the Clippers. Get you know,
(19:38):
he gets get when he gets bought out and he says,
or the team says to him, we really think the
best thing is for you to come off the bench.
And you come off the bench and you play crunch
time because the guy is still a smart player, he's
still a good player. But you're gonna play about twenty
minutes a game and you're gonna come off the bench,
and that's kind of how it's.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
Going to be.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Or you want to say, start the game and then
you're gonna sit for a lot and then we're gonna
bring you back late in the fourth quarter. But that's
kind of our plan. You're gonna play about twenty minutes
and you'll play in a crunch time. As long as
you show you can still get it done. And if
you're playing less minutes, you're not gonna be as tired.
We'll have you longer. Because that's been the biggest thing
of the NBA playoffs last couple of years. What have
we seen teams that fall short are teams that get
(20:19):
tired and their players are exhausted. The deep you get
in the playoffs. Why did the Lakers go home in four?
They were older, they were exhausted, they were beaten by
a younger, better team. You see it every single year.
We're older, but eventually we're tired. Doesn't matter if we
play less minutes, we're gonna wind up getting tired if
you're counting on us for so much during the season.
(20:40):
So for Chris Paul to do anything, it's to go someplace,
come off the bench, play less minutes and still somehow
affect the game. But for the Suns, you're getting a younger,
more dynamic player who's ready to win, ready to leave
Washington finally and now watch out. I feel better about
the Suns than I have before. I mean another year,
they could be on my never again if this doesn't
(21:01):
work out. But right now, this is like my last
go round with believing in this hookab believe going forward.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Well, you got Frank Vogel, so you got a new coach,
a new voice, which means I really have some questions
of what kind of defense I'm getting out of the
guys that return. DeAndre Ayton probably is going to be there,
even if they do all the talking points now and
song and dance, uh and whatever was going on with
him and Monti Williams, whatever he wanted before last season,
(21:30):
even if some of that is quelled. I don't see
him there. Why because you need to go find other
players to round out the squad. And does he necessarily
fit and is he a star super like some folks
try to put him in that start he's in every
third game guy, and from He's not a consistent score
by any stretch of the imagination. So you know saying, hey,
(21:50):
they got a fourth score. No, no, no, they don't. And
Kevin Durant's older, how many games he playing. Devin Booker
was hurt this last year, but he took a huge
step forward and came out on the national stage in
a big way during this postseason, so I think you
know he's primed to take that next leap and maybe
that's another reason Paul becomes expendable. But you still need
(22:14):
to round out that roster. So from a defensive standpoint
and just where you're at, because as much as you
want superstars, Denver had their stars, but it was the
role players and guys that should have been because I
don't want to put Aaron Gordon. He's in that no
man's land right as we break down the squad because
he was a top five pick, and it kind of
is Bradley Beal with a couple more years of tread
(22:37):
loss on his tires is a guy who's been in
a bad situation for a long time except for a
couple of you know, little surges, but nothing that was sustainable.
That he actually goes to a team that might be
able to compete, right that, you get that, but you
still need something to round out that roster. And I
truly do think you need a full on distributor. And
I don't know that Devin Booker is a score. How
(23:00):
much is he gonna facilitate or or not with Chris Paul,
he gets bought out and he goes into a different scenario.
You've got to monitor his minutes. It's what you'll have
to do with Durant and Phoenix for sure. How many
games he playing the regular season is irrelevant now, but
it's still a how good are you? But what's that
(23:20):
rotation look like? Do you have guys that can make
big plays for you down stretch? Denver had multiple guys
step up, including Gordon, including KCP and Brown and Brawn
off the bench, right, you got some great minutes. Well,
Phoenix has traded all those guys away, and now you've
traded away all your first and second round picks. So
(23:41):
now you're getting into the what do you get for
DeAndre eighton? And what can you get in a depressed marketplace?
Guys that get bought out free agents and what can
you cob together? And maybe you do, and maybe you
find a couple of guys that are gonna buy into
Frank Vogel's defensive system and they can give you some
great minute it's off the bench and that works. Chris
(24:03):
Paul's at that point where he's going to be able
to facilitate your offense. But he's only able to do
it part time.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yeah, but look, but look, don't worry about the first
round picks for Phoenix because they still have eleven more
of the Lakers first round picks from the Steve Nash trade.
I don't know what you're worried about. These these picks
go all the way to the end of Bobby Benia Day.
I like that, which is coming up, coming up a
we're to celebrate other Bobby Bania Day.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
Is that the day we walk off when it's done.
I always told.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
You that that, you know, that would be the last
the day of the last Bobby Benia Day would be
the day I retire. But I don't know. That's twenty
thirty five, and I got to think, Oh, am I
going to really go that long? I don't know, am
I gonna want to go? That's a long time to go.
That's a long gonna be fun.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
Yeah, but it's a long way to there, you know,
get off my lawn, guy.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yeah, that's a long way to go. That's a long
way to go. I had McDonald's today, actually.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
But the way off if you want to make it.
But it was just a chicken sandwich, really okay, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
cheese or no cheese.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Oh no, no cheese. Because I was going to say,
if someone want go run and get nothing the show
we don't need. But no, Chris Paul is interesting because
I don't think he's done right, he's done as that
he's hey, I'm done now. He's like Chris Paul right,
still the good player. And that's that's the lesson. I
think a lot of folks need need to learn on
(25:18):
a lot of these things. And remembering that even if
the guy's not his A one self, still on the
pantheon of players, still pretty good, right, it can still
be a pretty good ball. Is he worth thirty five
million dollars?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Hell no. But he's a guy that can come in
as a veteran leader and help facilitate things. Yeah, he's
gonna look good in either a Laker or Clipper anymore.
Because the Clippers have to push all in at some point,
don't they. No, come on, they've been They've been all
in for the last four No. No, I'm not talking
about their advertising and market street lights over spots.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
They've been all in on a group that's not gonna
win anything.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
That's just it. Let's add one more guy you think
we need one more, they need more than one between
then they can cobble together enough games. They still can't
get out of the second round. It doesn't matter. But
if you add another guy that goes twenty minutes, that's another.
I mean, that's as many. I mean, I love Paul
George when he plays, and I love Kawhi Leonard when
(26:15):
he plays. It doesn't Williams retired, by the way, But
I know that was pretty sad. I was really helping
to see it show up one more time.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Yeah, I really thought when I saw the when I
saw lou Williams trending, I thought, oh, did it get
traded back to the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Either that or you decided you wanted some lemon pepper
wings Lemon pepper wings from an adult club on Twitter?
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Or how about a fresco I get Smolando the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. At the
end of your first year, Discover credit cards automatically double
all the cash back of her And that's right, everything
you were in is doubled. Seriously see terms. Check it
out for yourself at discover dot com. Slash match. Now,
let's check out everything that's happened on a big day
in sports, of course, by Max Scherzer and the Mets. Yeah,
(27:03):
and they're forty six to one win over the Astros tonight.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
You say with so much passion, as if to suggest
that this rarely happens. So I understand it does raise
a long sufferings.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
I mean, Mets can stack fifteen or twenty wins like
this in a row. We're right back in it, man,
watch out there you go.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
I feel like you've been saying that during every show
for the last how long has the season been going
on I.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Feel like you've been saying that since nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Well yeah, well said, well, yes, let's go right there
to the Mets eleven to one. They were winners against
the Astros, and Max Scherzer did have a big outing,
his six winn of the season, and he went eight innings,
eight strikeouts, one earned run in that rare win for
New York, the White Sox coming up short against the
Rangers five to two, the Diamondbacks by them beating the
(27:48):
Brewers nine to one, and because Cincinnati, the Reds won
five to four against the Rockies. Since he is in first,
my virtue of those two things happening in the NL
Central and they've done it at this stage of the
season for the first time since twenty twelve. The Red
Sox devour the Twins nine to three, four RBI from
alex Verdugo. We mentioned the Reds, the Cubs blanking the
(28:10):
Pirates eight to nothing, the Marlins scolding the Blue Jays
eleven to nothing, backed by nineteen hits, Tigers over the
Royals six to four, the Cardinals shake free of the
Nationals eight to six, and one game that is happening
right now, it is in ten innings. That is the
top of the tenth where the Padres went into the
(28:31):
bottom of the ninth on the road against the Giants
with a four to two lead, only for the Giants
to score two runs. They had bases loaded with two outs,
San Fran could not get in that winning run, so
down the top of the tenth with no outs and
runners on first and second, San Diego trying to make
something happen. And lastly, guys College World Series, we did
(28:52):
see wake Forest continue their story to run with their
three to two comeback win against LSU, and because LSU lost,
they're now going to take on the Tennessee volunteers by
virtue of their win earlier today in an elimination game
against the Stanford Cardinal six to four, as the College
World Series continues on seemingly for weeks upon weeks upon weeks,
(29:15):
as it goes on from Omaha. With that, let's get
back to two guys who probably would down an Omaha steak,
maybe five of them for.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Some of us. Well, what's what's it worth to me? Well,
it's going to be a sponsor if we can pull that.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, but otherwise you're not going to beat a steak
unless it's a sponsor.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
No, no, no, no, no, but just kind of I mean,
if I got to eat five, that's a lot steak.
Five steaks, Like if there's if there's a promotion to
go along with eating five steaks, Well instead of like
post Father's Day, Gluttney, I'm in.
Speaker 6 (29:50):
Well, instead of you, Mike carrying around those gallon water
jugs and the protein powder that you shake up in
a blender. No, you can just get your protein from
the steak.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Yeah, I'm all good. I'm good with that. Yeah, who
wants to cook steaks? Who wants who wants a steak?
Orange Wit? Orange Wit? I'm an a steak. You see,
I was going slums of Beverly Hills wants who wants
a steak? Thank you very much.

whole show together, and then we had to meet for
the for the shuttle from where you had the lot
on the Avenue of the Americas and then you got
a little bit of a walk there after to get
to the media center. But when we got there, there
(31:16):
was nobody there. A couple of guys, but there were
a couple of guys like setting up microphones, like the
NBC guys or whatever they were wearing, like the little
beams off their their hats. And then you had a
couple of people moving, you know, sundry items, and then
there was us, And I was trying to think how
fast could I get to the stick for a photo
op before someone tackled me. You can get they're just
(31:39):
did the Marshalls just go hey, guy in the court
There were no marshals there at that point. Somebody get
out there, man, there was the microphone guy. I don't
think guy. I think there was someone lurking into shat
have tackled What was.
Speaker 2 (31:49):
The guy from the Canadian Open there? If he wasn't there,
I think you're all set.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
Well. I saw him hit a couple of balls, so
I applauded him. Oh I thought you met the security.
No no, no, so so now Wyndham Clark, good for him.
Famous Windom ever, most famous guys.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
See that's the thing. There's Barry Windham and there's Windom Clark.
There's also Wyndham Earl, who was Cooper's partner in Twin Peaks.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Very bad dude, Windom Earl one of my favorite names. Yeah,
but see I get black Jack Mulligan and yeah, why
I get the whole family.

from there's not that many. There's not that many.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
Do you already look this up? Dudn't Barry? Yeah? I
looked at Barry Wyndham and Mike Rotunda or Rotunda whichever
one you y r s getting after it.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
But yeah, I would say, Barry, what was Barry Wyndham's
big move? It was he would have the you'd have
you in like a chokelog bulldog and then he would
run up and he would take a couple of steps
into that the bulldog. Yeah, okay, but he wasn't in
the British bulldogs, no so, but he did a bulldog.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
That doesn't make sense. That's like Davey boy Smith. That
should have been his move. Him and the Dynamite Kid,
Dynamite King done. There you go, Barry Windham over Windom Okay,

Speaker 3 (35:51):
That's a song I was waiting for you to celebrate

We could probably get him in to talk to WHOA.
We can get him to come in and sing his
song in front of us. Hey, Joey, we'll put you

Speaker 2 (36:28):
I'll be right there. Let's book that there's nothing I
love can't Jason, Yes.
Speaker 4 (36:33):
Do you want to something crazy about the power of TikTok?
And now you're saying unforgotten theme songs.
Speaker 3 (36:38):
Just forgotten, not unforgotten.
Speaker 4 (36:39):
Well, it's un forgotten because now we're un forgetting them.
Speaker 3 (36:41):
It's true we are unforgetting them.
Speaker 4 (36:43):
Okay, that's the words sometimes not a word though, well,
I mean we all make up words. What was a
selfie ten years ago? Nothing but a selfie is but
unforgotten is not a word. But now we'll make it unforgettable, like.
Speaker 2 (36:54):
Listen, listen, irregardless. That's not a word.
Speaker 4 (36:57):
Okay, this is decreptifying.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
That that's that's now in the dictionary though, No it's
not regardless, does ample to use it and use it?
Speaker 2 (37:06):
It's not, it doesn't matter, muse. So now it's in
the dictionary.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
Yeah, I'm pushing for decreptifying. That's my word I found.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Does that mean? Does that mean? Uh?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Limiting the power of crypto?
Speaker 4 (37:17):
Now that's a fun one.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
Is that what that is?
Speaker 4 (37:18):
Gonna have subsections? I just want to use that as
like it's so scary I could die. It's decreptifying or
death defying. I like, yeah, okay, anyways, but yeah, TikTok
has so much power as we're talking about. Did you
know Billy Idol's song Eyes without a Face is like
one of the highest played songs right now because of
like TikTok. It's crazy to me really, yes, is there
(37:38):
a recent song it was used for like this meme
that people are using to express life and how great
life is and enjoying the moment. So they played that
song reverbed underneath and kids are loving it. That's why
it's like unforgotten things. This song is blowing up now
and these kids are like, who's Billy Idol just for
just forgotten things?
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Okay? I really thought him running around and that video
of him and Miley Cyrus was the one that was
doing it, which was all leather clad and hang.
Speaker 4 (38:01):
Why couldn't White Wedding come back? That's a better song.
You don't care.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
It's a nas Day two. I Got a face is
pretty good. His version of La Woman wasn't rebel yell?
Rebel yell? Is? I mean? Uh so? Fantastic?
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Well ty shirt you know, continues to learn about Billie Idol.
Dalvin Cook said today. Former Vikings running back looking for
a new home in the NFL, said that he would
like to team up with DeAndre Hopkins, who formerly of
the Cardinals, also looking for a new home. It would
be epic if they found their new home together. Uh
let me just say this, Okay, this is where two
(38:38):
players are trying to make it seem like there's a
market for them when they're clearly as not. I'm surprised
that there's no market for Dalvin Cook because the guy's
twenty seven, he's a workhorse running back. He's got one
or two good years left. Not surprised for DeAndre Hopkins
because who knows that the guy's any good?
Speaker 3 (38:56):
We have no idea.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Yeah, there's a market, there's a market, Yeah, in three
years since since he's been any good. But these guys
are trying to make it seem like, hey, yeah, we're
trying to we're taking our time with our new destination. No,
if you were still great players and teams wanted you,
you would have been signed by now. Great players don't
hit the market and sit around for a long time
(39:19):
before without a team before someone signs them, whether you
want more money or too much money or not. If
you were still great, people would sign them. We get
them surprised for Dalvin Cook, but there's no market for
the two of them. There's no hey, three year, forty
million dollars deal coming for DeAndre Hopkins. There is no market.
They're making it seem like there is, but there's not,
because again, if there was, they'd have their new teams already.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
At this point when you know you're you're dancing with
yourself in here, there is no cradle of love to
be had in a new organization for either of these players.
Market is very nice as they're flowing through. Uh So
it's for DeAndre Hopkins it becomes the incentive laden deal
(40:05):
and you have to decide you want to just get
a contract and get back into the league with anybody,
or do you want to go to a contender You
had a couple of rumors and he's done his free agency.
Let's show up in these different cities and take a tour.
But unless you're gonna sign a minimal deal, you're not
showing up. And several of those places are borderline rebuilds.
As it is. As for Dalvin Cook running back Mark,
(40:27):
it's a mess. So again, unless you're willing to pay
play for far less or wait out an injury, there's
no marketplace joining and signing up for you.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
They each think they're gonna team up, but in then
they're each gonna wind up dancing with themselves. That's what's
going to happen.
Speaker 3 (40:43):
Actually done. Way to bring it back coming up next.
You bagging don't makes Tory out of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
Keep it right here, Jason and Mike from The Money
Money Studios
Speaker 4 (40:53):
Fox, Jason, this baseline is translucent.
