What the hell are the Dodgers talking about before Game 6???
Jason Smith: "Why is Dave Roberts even talking about a Game 7? The Dodgers need someone to go in that locker room and say, 'get your head out of your you-know-what!"
Mike Harmon: "There's certainly a need for that. Dave's trying to be nice, but now's not the time."

Huh The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
What would you do if someone knocked on your door
right now? Like, hey, Halloween midnight? Come on, well right
making the goods? Nine o'clock here not Halloween yet. Yeah,
I live on East Coast time, buddy, let's go. If
(00:51):
someone came to my house in twelve point one in
at UCLA jumpsuit, all right? If Jerry Neuheisel came to
my house at twelve oh one, uh that you know
what he hair? Jael No, no, no, Like like everybody wants
to try to figure out what the best sports costume
of the year is. What's a great sports coy's been going?
(01:12):
And one of my favorites that I want to see
is Philly Karen, Like I really want to see Philly car.
I want to see that, you know, the hair and
the and the hoodie and the Phillies, Like, I really
want to see Philly Karen. But Jerry Newheisel would be
really cool. You get a big, like pompadour hairstyle with
the headset and the U C l A track suit,
Like that's a pretty good costume. I bet I'm Jerry
(01:32):
new Heiseel. I think outside of l A, I'd have
to explain that to too many. But you're in that. No, no,
not if you had people carrying you around the house.
Oh oh you're Jerry new Heiseel. Yeah, okay, you're a
great idea pre the beatdown Indiana gave them. That is fair.
You just skip over that game. It doesn't matter. My
offense doesn't work against good teams alone. Everything is still fine. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
(01:55):
I would love that. I would love that. That would
be awesome, would work And you know, and the funny
thing is they mistaken for cord Over Street from Glee.
Oh well no, because I can't sing like that starts saying,
you know, calling you trouty mouth. Yes, I never. I
was thinking back today because because my daughter asked me
about We were talking about different costumes, and she heard
(02:16):
her best friend are going is Brad Pitt and Ed
Norton from fight Club tomorrow is pretty good? Yeah, it's
pretty she's borrowing ties for me in his shirt. Right.
She knows she knows all the rules of fight club.
She knows first rules, second role. Oh, she knows all
the rules. Uh. And she knows Bob Paulson. His name
was Bob Paulson. His name was Bob Pulson. The hand
out he was meet love Ert. So she, you know,
(02:41):
we were talking about different things. She goes, what were
your favorite costumes as a kid? And she said to me,
what was your favorite? And I said, oh my god,
let me try to think. And I was thinking of
a couple of what were your favorite sports costumes? And
I go, I don't think, No, I wish I could, Dude,
I would have done that. Is so that now I
paper mache had easy. I'd have done that when I
(03:02):
was seventeen years old and too old and too cool
to go trick or treating. I would have been mister
met It just never I never was able to. I
don't think I wore any sports costumes. I don't think
I dressed up ever as an athlete or somebody else.
I don't think I ever did that. Way I was
a kid, really no memories of what I dressed up as.
Maybe the store board Batman outfit and whatever, I'm Batman.
(03:26):
I'm sure I did that. I'm sure I did Batman.
When you have that that really plaid clastic that you're
sweating and it's so bad and you can't even wear
it anymore because it's just so probably taken five years
off the back of your life from whatever you were
inhaling for four hours? What's this lined with lead pain?
It's fine, You're only You're good. You're only gonna be
breathing in for most of the night. Anyway, You're gonna
eat your candy. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I think my favorite costume when I was a kid
kIPS that I went as Darth Vader once, okay, and
I I had a like I made the chess protector
and the chest plate out of like cardboard, and I
called it in and I had the mask and a cape,
and I think I remember my mom telling me at
one point, you wore that cape every day after Halloween
(04:07):
for like ten days, and finally I had to hide
it on you so you couldn't wear it every day
like I wore it to school. Why arg you about
a cape? When David was there in Seinfeld wearing a
cape and they got mad at him. Did your pop
borrow it? No? Yes, he was role playing and he
was going to be Darth Vader. I'm Darth Vader. Yeah,
(04:27):
my grandfather's Darth Vader. Yes, I just meant the cape
my grandfather's he had that for now my grandfather. That
would have been a better voice than what my grandfather
would have been, more like dark helmet than he would
have been Darth Vader because he was like five feet tall. Hey, yay,
but you would need to face me go hey, uh
take the garbage out? Yes, yes, Darth Vader, Yes, Darth Vader.
But she said you wore it every day, You wore
to school without the mask, just wearing the cape to school.
(04:50):
Why is that wrong? And and I didn't think it was,
but she goes, at some point I had to take
away because she didn't want it to become like my
security blanket, like all of a sudden he won't go
anywhere without the cape. We can't get him to take
the cape off. He makes a statement, it's part of
his identity. He won't take it off. He won't take
it off. I'm sorry, he won't do it. Nothing about you.
That is pretty good. We did, We did our I
was very really happy the last few years doing our
(05:11):
big dress ups. We always we would try to do
something different every year, and uh, we would do Harry
Potter costumes every year. One year I was Quarrel, and
Zoe was Bellatrix, and and and I forget who Pam.
Pam was Hagrid. Right, So we did all these Harry
Potter ones. But I think my favorite costume we we
we dressed up and it was it was really fun.
Was dude, I'd have been a great hamburglar.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I might.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I might be ever too late. That might be a
little too tall for the hamburger. Could have been Wimpy
from Popeye you can crush. Yeah I could have done that. Yeah, yeah,
I was holding a tray. I would gladly pay you too. Yeah,
but where are your hamburgers? I ate them all. I'm
sorry I finished them all. Yeah, there's nothing I could
do but you need the hamburgers. It's part of the bit. Yeah,
but I hate them, the empty plate with the crumbs.
I mean, you just have to I suspend your disbelief.
(05:55):
I hate the hammer. I can't do any who stole them.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you do. Oh okay, Okay.
Then I got to explain to millennials, like who Popeye is?
That's a that's a big sound. That's a big thing. Man.
Nobody's said people. That was a great video game too. Yeah,
pop I was gonna video Yeah. Yeah, he used to eat.
He used to eat. He just crushed the can of
spinach and would just kill it. Like it's like, wow,
(06:16):
I wish I could eat. Can't spend it. I want
to get that video games out. That's got to be
one of real systems, didn't it, Uh, Popy, I would think.
So you can get any video games. Now, you can
get one of those video games I'm putting on my
Christmas list where you can get a handheld where it
has like twenty thousand video games, including all the old
Atari video games. Yeah, it's got twenty you get it
on Amazon. It's like ninety bucks whatever it is, and
(06:38):
it's got twenty thousand video games and including anything you
could possibly think of from Atari twenty six hundred. I
was like, whoa, yeah, I wanted that football game where
you just hit the guy on the leg as he
was sprinting down the sideline. I don't. I don't need
to do crosswords all the time. I can, I can.
I can game a little bit. I could do little
Atari asteroids or river Raid. I could do something like that.
(06:58):
We were in television kids, Well, I see that was
really weird. Nobody I knew how intelligence we had. Nobody
I knew how did you have intelligence? Was this because
your parents side? You know, everybody's got Atari. It rots
their brain. But we're gonna get something called in television. No,
because everybody intelligent. Television. It's what the it's what the
all the the elite are buying all their kids. It's
in television. To go out a limb and say it
(07:19):
was cheaper because everybody was running after the Atari in television,
and then late later on Calleco Vision. Oh yeah, Calliko vision.
Sure well, Collie. Because I was all the little the
all handheld games now like the hand I remember having
handheld hockey and handheld football when I was a kid. Well, no,
I mean we had this small handheld, but they had
a larger system too. Oh they did. Yeah, I didn't
(07:42):
even know that. Really, you're all like done. What do
you got left? We're sold out of Atari, sold out
of television, We're sold out of Vectrex. No, but we
got dish the size of your house if we had it.
We got something called Calco Vision. Will take it. Whatever
it is. I gotta bring something on to my kid.
I got it. I'm telling you, though, I would love
(08:03):
an in television set of games again. It might be
one of the hobbies I picked back up once the
girls are gone is playing video games. There's many epic
fails from tonight's TNF game with the Dolphins, a lot
in the Ravens, which we'll get to in a minute,
but really like because you think about the warria of
the sports landscape right now, it's hard to ignore the settings.
(08:24):
When when the settings for the World Series is Halloween,
the settings for Thursday Night Football Halloween's the next day.
You know people are gonna come to the games dressed
up in cost and they did. They kept Prime kept
showing them all night. If you're the Dolphins, orange is
a color of Halloween. Orange is one of your team colors.
I know you have an orange color rush type churt.
How do you not have an orange jersey full orange
(08:47):
ready for Tonight's because you hate fun? How do you know?
I mean really, how do you not the game and
ross led organization? How does Mike McDaniel not have orange
capris and orange shoes ready or the game tonight? That
is a fair point, right, Like, how do you not
have that? Like some Zubaz looking things? That's kind of crazy.
Oh I love Zbaz. See, Zubaz pants were awesome. They
(09:08):
were so comfortable about. You can get them because it's
a hell of a player. Yeah, there's no question about it.
But I mean that might be Christmas presents for people
around here. Okay, Abaz, all right, it's got to be
He's got to be football. It's got to be because
Zubez is foot. Zubez is football. Oh yeah, but all right,
thee's fine, But it's really more fair. Zubaz is more
(09:29):
football though, because that was a football thing. Yeah. I
just remember the Road Warriors were getting them in ads.
But like, I did you know for a league that
never misses any sort of opportunity at all like the Dolphins.
You know, early on in the season, when you're playing,
you know you're playing on Halloween night, Thursday night games
aren't flexed out. Oh we didn't know day before Halloween.
(09:51):
Let's have orange uniforms. At least when you're getting drilled
twenty eight six and you're losing, at least you look
good doing it. Why not. Why if you're not playing good,
at least look good. That's it, right, because sometimes it
follows that if you look good, you play everybody's on.
Maybe if they look really good, they would have played
better than twenty eight six. Maybe a little sharp or
maybe one a half humblet at the you know, twelve
(10:12):
or fourteen or whenever it was picked up back to
the seven. But I feel like that's an easy decision. No,
we've had We've had some curiosities because remember yesterday we
were sitting waiting to come in as the Odd Couple
were finishing up their show and we're keeping an eye
on the World Series, and they were playing all Canadian
songs still in Los Angeles for the Blue Jays were winning.
(10:33):
So they're playing they're playing Brian Adams, they were playing nickelback,
nickelback I think a lot of miles. They were playing
a little bit sure you love a simple plan. I
think do you watch the Black Velvet video Black Velvet,
if you Please. That's one of those songs I remember
playing in college when it came out. It was a
huge hit. Oh yeah, playing it every hour and ten
minutes that I'll get you. Oh yeah, dude, do do
(10:56):
Mississippi in the middle. But no, it's a failed though
Fox's bumper music is always It was just kind of like, wait,
but you're you're in Los Angeles, but they're winning the game. Yeah,
but you go back if the Dodgers, Hey, we don't
get we don't get to go back if when the Dodgers,
if the Dodgers win Tomorrow night, they'll play Red Hot
Chili Peppers. Still you'll hear can't stop Dude, you Dune
(11:17):
do Do Do? Dude, they'll play LA bands. Tomorrow night.
It was the Blue Jays are winning. They were playing
songs by Canadian bands. Can we give them a longer list?
So maybe they leave that Doo do doll play a
little rush, They'll play a little I mean, you know,
I would really just go I really want to hear
like them play like addicted going to break because I'm
pretty sure simple playing is Canadian. I'm pretty sure they are.
(11:38):
If they're not, then then then well, I mean that
you might have out the window bequeath them too. But
then then Brian Adams officially, well, of course, well heaven
everything I do I do for you to do? That
song brings Sting and Rod Stewart out from me. Prince
of Thieves, okay, all for love, Robinhood, Prince of Thieves,
(11:58):
Oh for love? Yeah, no, he did it from Montreal, Okay, yeah,
a little bit. Yeah, just just hear dick. Now I'm
a dick. Did do you? Why not? You could play
some songs from the late Gordon life? What do you mean? Songs?
Is the one song? There's a lot of songs went,
He's got the Wreck of the Larry Fitzgerald. That's his song,
I dare you that's his song. Sure they get Chiegomy. Yeah,
(12:20):
that's one of those songs where whenever it's you wouldn't
think it. But whenever it's on the radio and I
listen on, I'm flipping around. I listened to him, you stop,
I'm like, yeah, I listen to the record. The Larry Fitzgerald.
I'm gonna listen to it, Yeah, as you should. Yeah.
He was still bellowing that out into his mid eighties.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Taking me back to nineteen eighty two and rock Well
featuring Michael Jackson. Somebody's watching me here on zz zz
Z one hundred FM Jason Mason in the Morning crew,
This is my friend Brendan, It's my guy. I never
played this song now, never played this song on a
proud of principle or just no opportunity. This song was
(14:51):
so red hot for like three months when it came
out because Michael Jackson was the biggest star in the
universe and he's on this uh doing a chorus at
the end, and I was like, oh, now the song
is like it's one of those like heard every day
for a few months and then like, no one's gone.
How much money I think they made on this?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Man, Well, hopefully maybe the record all to Rockwell. I mean,
I hope Rockwell made all the cash off of that.
Did say Michael Jackson said, Yeah, I'll be on this.
I'm gonna make all the money from it, but you'll
have a hit single. Oh okay. Well, I mean he
is a guy that talking to Paul McCartney about advice
and go get your publishing, and he bought a bunch
of the Beatles stuff, So Michael Jackson would not be
(15:33):
above doing such things. Rockwell is sixty one years old.
Good for him. I wonder if he's still touring you
gotta think he is. Remember the eighties, It comes out,
does his one song and leaves.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Right, one of those days, one of those shows where
everybody gets a songs. How many two, how many songs
you're out here for? I just do what well? Every night? Yes,
every week do it. We go. We do an extended
thing because people like it. For nine minutes, we do
three hundred and forty five year. I do one song
every night. One song. That's it. Well, I mean it's
(16:06):
it's not unlike performing in a play or what I mean.
It's it's it's the same show. It's one song. It's
one I tried to you know, wind that motivation for
rock Well to do one song, one song. See, if
I was gonna put on a concert, I'd bring about
for that one song. So Thursday night football goes to
(16:26):
the Ravens over the Dolphins. Don't think this surprised anybody.
Lamar Jackson back for the first time and really didn't
look that rusty like you could tell in the beginning
of the game. Okay, he hasn't played in a while,
but it helped to play the Dolphins. I mean, that's
number one. It really helps me play a team that bad.
But uh Lamar Jackson looked great. Two hundred yards passing
(16:50):
four touchdowns, didn't really run the football all that much.
That's the one thing that was missing from his game tonight,
and I'm sure that was part of the plan. Hey,
let's get you back in if you don't need to run,
it's the Dolphins. Let's not run, all right, let's let's
let's wait till you get back and you're feeling good,
then we can run. If we don't have to run,
let's not run. Which which page of the slide neck
(17:11):
was on non dot because it's the Dophs. It's owing.
We're not gonna need it. We're not gonna need it. No,
we're not going to Yeah, it's you know, you think
about this. It's funny like I used to always get
in a uh not an argument, but I would always
have to convince my pitchers when you're on the mount,
if your fastball is great, you don't need anything else
(17:31):
the first time through the lineup, don't need anything else
because if they're behind your fat and I could tell
if they're behind your fastball, don't throw anything else. Don't
let them see your other pitches, because all you need
is a fastball first time through the lineup, because you
don't need anything else. Then the second time through, when
they've seen your fat they've seen four or five fastballs,
so you're locating. Then throw your drop, throw your riser, curve,
(17:52):
whatever it is. Then let them see it, and they
would always No, I want to be able to throw
all my pitch. I can no. I understand that. I
understand that, but I want you to be I want
you to finish this game in the six and seventh
inning really strong, instead of we're just trying to hope
to get that extra couple of innings out of you. Right,
just if you don't need it the first inning, don't
throw it. There's no need to do it. Throw it
in warm ups, throw it every time you want to.
(18:13):
If you want to. If you're up zero to two
and you want to waste a pitch, okay, throw one
of them to get it. But like you don't need
to throw it, don't. Don't sit here and go well,
I want to throw it, and then all of a
sudden you're getting a two two count, a full count.
You don't need to. I'm sure that was a conversation
John Harbor have with Lamar Jackson. Listen, it's the Dolphins.
If you don't need to run, don't run. We're probably
not gonna need your legs to win tonight. We probably
(18:34):
only need you to throw lefty because it's the Dolphins.
But you know, we just just contract throwing it. You
know what, I'm gonna challenge you tonight, Lamar, What are
you gonna say, coach? Only throw the ball to your
tight ends, no matter who I am out there, no
wide receivers, but but but god, but good coach like
Zay Flowers is really no, No, I don't want to
throw it to but what No, just throw it to
(18:55):
your tight ends. Okay, coach, I'll take your challenge. Well,
and that's kind of what he did tonight. Isaa like
he had three catches for sixty yards. I think he
had forty five yards all season without Lamar Jackson. It
was good to have him back, right Coolar's got the
tight end, Carlo got the touchdown pass. Mark Andrews two catches,
both for touchdowns as well. So clearly he won that
conversation and that challenge from John Harbo. Yeah, they did
(19:18):
a good job to leak the extra tight end out.
I mean, when you're playing three guys out there and
having some fun deploying them as alternately the blocking or
then sneaking them out as you did. I mean, because again, Andrews,
you talk about operational efficiency, right, it's the old all right,
two catches, two touchdowns, way to go. We joked about
(19:39):
it the third touchdown pass, like maybe he threw it
to the wrong guy in the eighties, but he was
wide open. I mean, if you met Mark. Sorry dude,
but I thought about when you dropped the ball against
the Bills last year and oh, I'm sorry that was
out loud. I have no inner monologue. Wow, sorry, I'm
you know it pretty good. I mean, look, Dolphins have
a couple of double digit played drives. They moved the
(20:01):
ball well just in the end, shot themselves in the
foot repeatedly. We had the big play, thirty six yard
pass play, a beautiful ball down down the field of
waterle that gets negated by a penalty that is going
to be uh debated quite a bit, as you had
Gordon falling. I don't know how much it's gonna be debated.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
It was twenty eight to six. The Dolphins rolled over,
but well no they did. They did eventually roll over.
But in the moment you're it's like, all right, you're
hanging tough. Like the New Kids on the Block when
they reinvented themselves, you were hanging tough. I think that
was still No, hanging tough was still in there. Hang
It wasn't that. No, that was like the next the
next iteration though, No, the next iteration was games. That
(20:44):
was games and no, no, hanging tough was still their
first bit. It was their second album, which was Yeah.
But but it was that that next push forward that
was like whoa, please don't go girl? Oh yeah, yeah, okay,
you're gonna go full trip. I played, I played a
lot of that. You didn't play rock well, No, a
lot of you had a problem with rockwell. Just here's
(21:05):
the one thing is that I would get into disagreements
with my program director in college playing New Kids on
the Block songs because they were everywhere right. Every every
time they did something, they and we would always have
no problem if they did something crazy and we made
fun of them, and our program director would would call
the hotline, like in the middle of the show, which
was like crazy and he would call and he would say, hey,
(21:26):
you know, New Kids on the Block. Everybody really listens
to the show. They really like the New Kids on
the Block. I don't think they like that you make
fun of them. I go, I think it's an okay
thing to do. It's a story. Other stations are going
to do it, right, Yeah, but they really listened. I go, yeah,
I mean other Top forty stations are going to make
fun of these stories, and and and he was like, yeah, no,
(21:47):
but remember the you know people, you know that they're
all ages that listen to us, and they like New
Kids on the Block. And I'm like, we play New
Kids on the Block every hour. They're gonna not listen
to us, Like, I'm like, what this is? No, he
was the worst. He was the worst. No, he was
that and now that there you go. He would he
used to try to put himself on the air over
(22:09):
a lot of us in different in different like we
were doing the morning show, and he would put himself
on the air. Why are you on the air, Why
are you coming out? Like he was not He was
probably better than New Kids on the Block. I still
have a radio career after going through what I went
through at Z eighty nine with some of the people
that music. Oh no, no, but still but just being
in radio, the stuff I went through back then. Man,
the fact that I'm still in I still love it
(22:29):
in radio now, Like that's something that I didn't think
was gonna still need to do one of these eight
Let's talk about the eighties. Let's talk about the kind
of shows. At some point before we wrapped this thing up.
But did you ever get that suspicious feeling that maybe
the MTV studios they locked the New Kids on the
Block away in a room because they seem to show
(22:49):
up in those studios an awful lot, or they just said, hey,
come in for a day. We're gonna spend twenty hours
taping a whole bunch of things, and we're gonna make
it seem like you're live. Okay, all right, all right,
New Kids on the Block. All of their favorite horror
movies for the Halloween Day theme. Take one go. They
got full racks of clothes that change. Remember to shave,
(23:14):
Remember to shave like it's a new Donnie, what's your
favorite horror movie? I'm gonna punch you in the face
right now, Adam Curry, don't ask me any more questions.
Been here for twenty hours. Wait, that's the outfit you
need to do. That's that's your Halloween get up with
with his hair. You just did. You just did all
of my favorite Valentine's Date songs. I can't do any
(23:36):
more of this. All right, ask me one more question.
I will punch you in the faith. We'll be back
right after this. But new kids on the block coming
up next. Yeah, no, no, no, but okay, I actually, when
it merits, I will tell you the story of when
(23:57):
I wound up leaving Zad and I'll tell you it's
it's a great story. But to get back to Lamar
Jackson before, like before it became seen one hundred. No, no,
the Different States was eighty nine. Then they got promoted
as time went on, they all way up to one hundred.
But Lamar Jackson comes back and he's terrific. And now
the big de facto conversation is gonna be. Oh, here
(24:17):
come the Ravens back, just like the Chief. Everything's back.
The ravens are back. The Ravens are back. Okay, this
is how far I'm gonna go. And I'm gonna give
you a little bit of an enigma route than a mystery,
because it is holloween. That's good. I like that. Can
the Ravens win the AFC North? Absolutely, hundred percent, they
can win the AFC North. Are they a playoff team?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
But wait a minute. How can they win the AFC
North and they'll be a playoff team? Ricky, Bobby, how
can I would how can they be You said they
can win the AFC North. Yes, one hundred percent, they
can win the AFC North. But how can they're not
a playoff team? The reason is very simple, It's very
very simple. It's only one one reason why they can
win the division and not be a playoff team. Why
is that? How is that? DEA's fuzzy man on fuzzy Man.
(25:05):
He's gonna have to You're gonna have to walk me
through this. They can win the division. Talk to me
like a five year old, Tell me like I'm five. Okay,
the next year so I'll be six. Ravens can win
the division. But if they have any sort of guts,
or Ravens or Steelers or Bengals, you got the guts
at the end of the season, when you clinch with
(25:27):
a seven and ten record, you say, hey, NFL, we
don't feel right taking this division championship into the playoffs.
We're gonna give it back to a more deserving team. Hey,
there's a team in the NFC. Hey, the Seahawks at
all they could to get to nine and eight. I
feel really we want to give our playoff spot to
them because the AFC North stinks out loud. Every team stinks.
(25:52):
They all have problems. None of them are good. The
Ravens win to the Ravens beat the Dolphins. The Dolphins
mayn't even have a team in a week. They're all
gonna be Oh, Mike McDaniel might not be coaching. Like
every team that in this division is terrible. That Steelers
have shown you. We're not for real. We can't beat
anybody who's decent. We're not good at anything. We don't
(26:12):
throw the football well, we don't run the football, we
don't play defense well. The only reason we're in first
place is everybody else stinks. The Bengals, hey, they would
have been good, but they lost Joe Burrow and now suddenly,
hey they lost to the Jets. So how good are
the Bengals? And the Browns. Brown's gonna brown Browns can't
get out of the brown's own way. Brown brown, brown
brown or brown brown brown brown Brown Brown. This entire
division stinks, and if you told me a team was
(26:34):
gonna win it at seven to ten, I would say, hey,
I'll take odds on that eight and nine. Now you're
really saying something, but this is how bad this division is. Yes,
you can win the division or you playoff team, though,
because entire division stinks. Okay, well, let's look at the
rest of their schedule. First off, let me get the odds.
They play each other, and when stink. The teams who
stink play other teams who stink. Teams at stink usually wins. Well,
(26:54):
you kind of stole my thunder there, now, didn't you
saying the team that stinks, team that's stunk a little less,
a little less pungent. The Ravens minus one forty five,
they stink Steelers at two to one, they steak more
angles in six and a half. They steaks so bad.
The Cleveland Browns, how bad do they stay? Stink an
(27:16):
entire continent more than the other teams? Be careful thirty
five to one? Like maybe Antarctica oh is because well
it is sizable. There's no question dj clearly, maybe they
would even lose to the Penguins playing in Antarctica in space,
no one can hear you scream. All right, So we
got Minnesota. Who's their quarterback? Now? Now you see Carson
(27:38):
Wentz trying to defect? Yeah, hey, wasn't him? Whatever? You
guys are gonna pay me right, Okay, yeah, no, I'm fine.
Thing it's good. Out of their final nine games, they
still have five division games, They've only played Cleveland. Someone
someone is winning this division with an under five hundred.
They still have the Jets. Now they have New Englan
(28:00):
in Green Bay back to back. So those are two
legitimate teams everybody else. This is the worst part is
that all these teams stink. They're gonna play a bunch
of other teams that they're gonna cannibalize it, which means
which means the teams that stink just a little bit
worse are gonna lose. So these AFC North teams that
stink are gonna win, but they're not gonna win enough.
And we're gonna have an eight nine, eight to nine
(28:21):
win the AFC one. But that's okay, that's not okay, Sure,
it is not okay. There's not any given Sunday, No
any given Sunday. They can rise up. You know that
is true. But there's a reason why you play the
rest of the regular season. I get it. There's the
reason why you play the regular station to earn the
right to move on to play. Sometimes people don't play
Week seventeen. There's nothing I can do there for fantasy
purposes or in real nine. The Jets, the Jets played once,
(28:44):
the Jets played one, the Jets one once either the
way they rallied when they actually came together and wanted
to play, ruining a shot. Angry about it. We're ruining
our shot, at Fernando Mendoza, We're ruining that we're gonna
get or not. No, no, no, you're gonna You're gonna fight
the Saints and the they stay Dolphins and the Dolphins
and the Titans. Stink. Yeah, we're not catching the Dolphins.
(29:05):
Play them again. Yeah, don't even argue with him. He
knows stink better than I know bad football. You know
what that is true? I know football, but you know,
we celebrate the wins. And until they changed away from
a division structure, which then changes the schedule altogether, which
I'd be okay with because I think it's terrible. Like
the fact that you still have five division games, and
then you have other other divisions that have played most
(29:28):
of their SLINKs. It's ludicrous. Hi, I'm Jason Smith, and
I watch bad football, so you don't have to. Most
Sundays you're watching either. Look at your YouTube channel. You're
watching maybe four games at once, all good games. I'm
watching the Jets that you're not watching.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
That.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
That's what we should do. That should be a bit
that we run on a Sunday night. We're gonna do
the recaps of the two worst games that you didn't
spend eight hours of your life watching. Hey, you didn't
watch Jets Bengals. You probably didn't watch Jags Titans either.
I got your recap on both of those. It's good
games right there. Highlights not included, Yeah, it's there would
(30:05):
be a highlight here. I got this picture I drew
of a cow Hey, it's easy to talk Broncos Cowboys.
How about Jets Bengals? How about that? How about Titans Cardinals?
Who wants a half hour on Titan's Cardinals. That's what
we've been joking about forever. We watch it so you
don't have to. All two hundred and seventy two glorious
(30:28):
Regular season games, exit out about a Fresca exit swalling
down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,
time out to find out what's trending in the wide
world sports of someone who's been spending half the night
figuring out what's trending, the other half getting her Halloween
costume for tomorrow. It's Monsie Belonging.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
You're right, it was a perfect night though, because the
game ended rather quickly.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
NBA ended rather quickly.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
We've just got one NHL game that's still going on,
and it's the Red Wings and the King's Red Wings
are up right now two to one store early in
the third period, while the Devil's lost to the Sharks
five to two.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
That was the other game going When if the Devil
should win the day before Halloween show, that's really a
bomb effort. Where's the inspiration? Where's the flyer? Right?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
That's Today's a day to win, but the Devil's lost.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Do you look at things like like the Ravens have
an offensive lineman named Voorhe's I mean, it's not quite Halloween,
but it's close enough. They want to know. But I
mean the mascot is Poe.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
That is true.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Look at that lick that yeah, Ravens. They beat the
Dolphins twenty eight to six. Kicking off Week nine of
the NFL. There was a controversial tripping call that happened
early in the first half of the game. Here is
Mike McDaniel, head coach of the Dolphins, about that call.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
You know, there's a subjective call that you know, New
York was called into determine whether or not the objective
part of the subjective call, which was whether or not
there was contact.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
They they confirmed.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
So I saw, you know, a guy trip and fall
or slip, and he was called for intentionally tripping somebody.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
So that's what I saw.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
It was a bad call.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
How easily he loses people when he talks like he
lost me on the objective part of the subjective call.
Used that word trip and realize he knows right, I
want to say slip. He starts talking and he's that
that profess you have in college where after the first
minute of class your eyes just glaze over. You go,
I'm just gonna look at all the people I think
are really attractive and and try to catch their eye
(32:27):
and I'm not. I'm not paying attention to anything your
So you get a full transcript of what you're saying here, right,
I really I've lost Just.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
So funny because I literally was going to ask you, guys,
explain that to me, like I'm five, What did he
just say?
Speaker 5 (32:39):
It was a terrible call, But you're right, he went.
He took the scenic row to give you the answer
of it was a bad call.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
The objective part of the subjective call something d oo economics,
voodoo economics. That was the best pass to his throat
all year. It was, it was, it was a pretty ball.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
It was they just took back.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Baltimore improves to three and five, Miami falls to two
and seven. In the NBA, the Spurs for the first
time in franchise history, starting the season five and oh,
they beat the Heat one o seven to one oh one.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Victor Ie Banyama literally can do it all, you guys.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Twenty seven points, eighteen rebound, six assists, five blocks, thunder
start the season six and oh, so they're still undefeated.
They beat the Wizards win twenty seven to one oh eight.
Sha Gildo Alexander thirty one points and seven rebounds. No
Janni Santokumpu today today for the Bucks. They still beat.
The Warriors went twenty to one ten and Paulo Badkaro
dropped twenty points nine rebound, nine assists as a magic outscore.
The Hornets won twenty three to one oh seven. And
(33:37):
in LSU, as we know, fired Brian Kelly not long ago. Well,
Scott Woodward is now out as the athletic director of LSU.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
The school announced this tonight.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Give it away more money to him. Hang on, the
school of the governor announced it tonight? Who announced the
firing this school? You sure? Yeah? Wasn't the governor?
Speaker 5 (33:55):
The governor?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
The governor? Okay?
Speaker 5 (33:58):
All right, yeah, no, hey, maybe was the governor?
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Governor?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
The governor?
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Are we talking about the governor?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
The governor from Walking Dead? Yes, we were talking about right.
I thought I was sure the guy from Basic Instinct two.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Yes, now Arnold not Arnold?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
No no, no, no, no, no no no, no, all right,
thank you much. Hard coming up next, as we are
less than twenty four hours away from Game six of
the World Series, I really want to know what the
hell the Dodgers were doing today as they were talking
about getting set for what they want to do in Toronto.
(34:32):
That's next, right here, Jason and Mike Fox. Be sure
to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific,
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, Happy Halloween. Uh, we got more
(34:53):
football on the way in about ten minutes. I'll give
you a dollar if you run around the streets tomorrow
when you go for your walk with the dog, running
like wall in weapons like blood grip from my from
my eyes, like with long I think you'd be a
pretty good bit. Just start chasing people around your neighborhood.
We're just got a bunch of kids to run like that,
like a bunch of kids just running out like tomorrow night,
(35:15):
like when it's dark and the kids all leaving their house,
like in their night clothes, just running down. I gotta
be really exactly. Oh yeah, well yeah, till the sun
goes down. That is, when the sun goes down. When
the sun goes down. Tomorrow, we will have Game six
of the World Series. Blue Jays and the Dodgers. Yeah
we'll be grooving. And uh, I say game six because
(35:36):
you would think after hearing the Dodgers and Dave Roberts
talk to me it was game seven, because what dominated
Dave Roberts media day availability today was the talk of
what the plan could be for show Heyo Tani in
game seven. Here's Dave Roberts from earlier today. And you
talked yesterday about the possibility of show Hate being available
(35:58):
in relief. Could that be as soon as tomorrow game
six or you know, we'll see how he comes in tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
But you know right now, obviously when you're a facing elimination,
then you've got to have those conversations. So whatever it
takes for us to win tomorrow, and obviously you know
Yama's going and then we're gonna do whatever we can
to put our best foot forward on the run prevention
side and then on the creation side and scoring runs too.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
So he went on to talk more about game seven,
said there's a lot of things on the table. Sure,
he said, I'm going to have a conversation with Show Hey,
this is at the end. I'm going a conversation with
about what we can do for him for game seven.
And what I want to say is, Okay, I get it,
I get that. This is this is something you're going
to talk with with your coaches about what do we
(36:45):
do in game six game seven? If we have Otani start,
we can keep his bat in the lineup. But if
he's going to start game seven, this will affect our
relief situation for Game six. That I understand. But the
amount of time that they spent talking and we spent
talking about game seven and what Otani can do in
game seven, this tells me. I don't know if the
(37:07):
Dodgers really quite get where they're at right now in
the playoffs. They have not hit the entire playoff, and
every bit of messaging from the Dodgers has been there's
no panic, we know we have to do, we know
we have to start hitting. Everything is fine, We're gonna
go in. Hey, Toronto's a great team. We're gonna I
really don't want to hear anything about game seven. I
don't want to hear anything about game seven because you
(37:29):
don't win game six, guess what, you don't play game seven.
And for a lot of today I thought, did I
fall asleep and miss game six? And they haven't and
I missed it? Like wow. I would love to see
if the Dodgers tied the series up, or maybe they're
playing Game seven before Game six, and then hey, they
win the series when they go back and play like,
I don't want to hear anything about Game seven, and
the entire the entire World Series for me, is wrapped
(37:51):
up in The Dodgers need a sense of bleep in urgency,
man like, they need a sense of understanding that this
is this is it, this is not just Hey, we
won the World Series last year. We get here just
about every year. We know how to win. There's no
sense of panic here. Sometimes think a little bit of
panic is good, A little bit of sense of urgency
is good. Not enough so far, clearly, because how you're
(38:11):
flat after winning that eight to inning game with Freddie
Freeman's walk off home run. I don't understand. It's been
an epic fail for the Dodgers since then, because they've
played like they expected the Blue Jays to just fall over.
And we don't understand why haven't just quit, Why we're
not just roll up with our guys and scoring five
or six runs and beating them like they have been
sitting around. The Blue Jays have been more aggressive. I
(38:33):
want a little bit more of games. Everything is at stake.
We have to don't even ask me anything about games. Well,
ask me after that, Otani Otani after tomorrow to ask
me about game six, as about Yamamoto, asked me about
their lineup, ask me about MOOKI, asked me about Freddie,
asked me about Shoey in the lineup. Don't ask me
about game seven. But I just get the overall sense
(38:55):
that thought they really need someone to come into the
locker room and say, hey, guys, you know this is it, right.
You know this is not like you get twelve games
to get the You know this is it, and you
need to be doing it much better than you have
so far. I need to see that sense of urge.
You know, who's got that right temperament to come in?
Ron say, sure, Penguin could come in, or Will Ferrell
and his whites slamming a steel chair on the line.
(39:17):
You could do that. You can channel that and bring
that in. That would certainly ring Will Ferrell in. And
since you're in Canada, you could get Drake. They don't
want to lose. Oh right, Oh they're trying to win. Sorry.
Oh yeah, I was just thinking from the historical right,
I mean, because this is obviously where Tommy Lesorda would
have been kind of a big deal for them. Tommy
(39:38):
Lisorda would have been talking about the Dodgers' performance in
the locker room a lot after Game four, There's no
question about it. Maybe they just do a super cut
of all of the reaction shots from Sandy kofeks. Hey, guys,
you're disappointing Sandy. Okay, you're disappointing Sandy. This is not
intolerable here in this organization. This is Wait, now you're
(40:01):
talking like from this is not about me, this is
not this is about Sandy bleeping kofax Man. And then
after every sentence Dave utters as he's trying to inspire
the team. There's the glaring Sandy kofax over the show.
They should have a cardboard cut out of him in there.
I don't understand the Dodgers' entire approach to the playoffs
(40:22):
in this World series. I think with the with Dave though,
like he's kind of a fault in this one of
entertaining it because he does talk Hey, everything's on the
table for Game six and then we go from there.
But then, you know, gives a little more to the
conversation because it's how you have to manage Otani and
it's a legitimate story, right, because it's uncharted territory in
(40:46):
terms of the way you have to operate with him.
But no, I get your point. You want a little
fire and brimstone. I gotta have a little fun to
snap back at a reporter. Get out here, exit up about
a Fresco exit swollen dome? Coming up next, coming off
of There's Night Football? Who should be traded by the deadline? Wait,
don't we tell you who the answer is? That's next,
(41:06):

What would you do if someone knocked on your door

making the goods? Nine o'clock here not Halloween yet. Yeah,
I live on East Coast time, buddy, let's go. If
(00:51):
someone came to my house in twelve point one in
at UCLA jumpsuit, all right? If Jerry Neuheisel came to
my house at twelve oh one, uh that you know
what he hair? Jael No, no, no, Like like everybody wants
to try to figure out what the best sports costume
of the year is. What's a great sports coy's been going?
(01:12):
And one of my favorites that I want to see
is Philly Karen, Like I really want to see Philly car.
I want to see that, you know, the hair and
the and the hoodie and the Phillies, Like, I really
want to see Philly Karen. But Jerry Newheisel would be
really cool. You get a big, like pompadour hairstyle with
the headset and the U C l A track suit,
Like that's a pretty good costume. I bet I'm Jerry
(01:32):
new Heiseel. I think outside of l A, I'd have
to explain that to too many. But you're in that. No, no,
not if you had people carrying you around the house.
Oh oh you're Jerry new Heiseel. Yeah, okay, you're a
great idea pre the beatdown Indiana gave them. That is fair.
You just skip over that game. It doesn't matter. My
offense doesn't work against good teams alone. Everything is still fine. Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, Jerry.
(01:55):
I would love that. I would love that. That would
be awesome, would work And you know, and the funny
thing is they mistaken for cord Over Street from Glee.
Oh well no, because I can't sing like that starts saying,
you know, calling you trouty mouth. Yes, I never. I
was thinking back today because because my daughter asked me
about We were talking about different costumes, and she heard
(02:16):
her best friend are going is Brad Pitt and Ed
Norton from fight Club tomorrow is pretty good? Yeah, it's
pretty she's borrowing ties for me in his shirt. Right.
She knows she knows all the rules of fight club.
She knows first rules, second role. Oh, she knows all
the rules. Uh. And she knows Bob Paulson. His name
was Bob Paulson. His name was Bob Pulson. The hand
out he was meet love Ert. So she, you know,
(02:41):
we were talking about different things. She goes, what were
your favorite costumes as a kid? And she said to me,
what was your favorite? And I said, oh my god,
let me try to think. And I was thinking of
a couple of what were your favorite sports costumes? And
I go, I don't think, No, I wish I could, Dude,
I would have done that. Is so that now I
paper mache had easy. I'd have done that when I
(03:02):
was seventeen years old and too old and too cool
to go trick or treating. I would have been mister
met It just never I never was able to. I
don't think I wore any sports costumes. I don't think
I dressed up ever as an athlete or somebody else.
I don't think I ever did that. Way I was
a kid, really no memories of what I dressed up as.
Maybe the store board Batman outfit and whatever, I'm Batman.
(03:26):
I'm sure I did that. I'm sure I did Batman.
When you have that that really plaid clastic that you're
sweating and it's so bad and you can't even wear
it anymore because it's just so probably taken five years
off the back of your life from whatever you were
inhaling for four hours? What's this lined with lead pain?
It's fine, You're only You're good. You're only gonna be
breathing in for most of the night. Anyway, You're gonna
eat your candy. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
No.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
I think my favorite costume when I was a kid
kIPS that I went as Darth Vader once, okay, and
I I had a like I made the chess protector
and the chest plate out of like cardboard, and I
called it in and I had the mask and a cape,
and I think I remember my mom telling me at
one point, you wore that cape every day after Halloween
(04:07):
for like ten days, and finally I had to hide
it on you so you couldn't wear it every day
like I wore it to school. Why arg you about
a cape? When David was there in Seinfeld wearing a
cape and they got mad at him. Did your pop
borrow it? No? Yes, he was role playing and he
was going to be Darth Vader. I'm Darth Vader. Yeah,
(04:27):
my grandfather's Darth Vader. Yes, I just meant the cape
my grandfather's he had that for now my grandfather. That
would have been a better voice than what my grandfather
would have been, more like dark helmet than he would
have been Darth Vader because he was like five feet tall. Hey, yay,
but you would need to face me go hey, uh
take the garbage out? Yes, yes, Darth Vader, Yes, Darth Vader.
But she said you wore it every day, You wore
to school without the mask, just wearing the cape to school.
(04:50):
Why is that wrong? And and I didn't think it was,
but she goes, at some point I had to take
away because she didn't want it to become like my
security blanket, like all of a sudden he won't go
anywhere without the cape. We can't get him to take
the cape off. He makes a statement, it's part of
his identity. He won't take it off. He won't take
it off. I'm sorry, he won't do it. Nothing about you.
That is pretty good. We did, We did our I
was very really happy the last few years doing our
(05:11):
big dress ups. We always we would try to do
something different every year, and uh, we would do Harry
Potter costumes every year. One year I was Quarrel, and
Zoe was Bellatrix, and and and I forget who Pam.
Pam was Hagrid. Right, So we did all these Harry
Potter ones. But I think my favorite costume we we
we dressed up and it was it was really fun.
Was dude, I'd have been a great hamburglar.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
I might.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I might be ever too late. That might be a
little too tall for the hamburger. Could have been Wimpy
from Popeye you can crush. Yeah I could have done that. Yeah, yeah,
I was holding a tray. I would gladly pay you too. Yeah,
but where are your hamburgers? I ate them all. I'm
sorry I finished them all. Yeah, there's nothing I could
do but you need the hamburgers. It's part of the bit. Yeah,
but I hate them, the empty plate with the crumbs.
I mean, you just have to I suspend your disbelief.
(05:55):
I hate the hammer. I can't do any who stole them.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you do. Oh okay, Okay.
Then I got to explain to millennials, like who Popeye is?
That's a that's a big sound. That's a big thing. Man.
Nobody's said people. That was a great video game too. Yeah,
pop I was gonna video Yeah. Yeah, he used to eat.
He used to eat. He just crushed the can of
spinach and would just kill it. Like it's like, wow,
(06:16):
I wish I could eat. Can't spend it. I want
to get that video games out. That's got to be
one of real systems, didn't it, Uh, Popy, I would think.
So you can get any video games. Now, you can
get one of those video games I'm putting on my
Christmas list where you can get a handheld where it
has like twenty thousand video games, including all the old
Atari video games. Yeah, it's got twenty you get it
on Amazon. It's like ninety bucks whatever it is, and
(06:38):
it's got twenty thousand video games and including anything you
could possibly think of from Atari twenty six hundred. I
was like, whoa, yeah, I wanted that football game where
you just hit the guy on the leg as he
was sprinting down the sideline. I don't. I don't need
to do crosswords all the time. I can, I can.
I can game a little bit. I could do little
Atari asteroids or river Raid. I could do something like that.
(06:58):
We were in television kids, Well, I see that was
really weird. Nobody I knew how intelligence we had. Nobody
I knew how did you have intelligence? Was this because
your parents side? You know, everybody's got Atari. It rots
their brain. But we're gonna get something called in television. No,
because everybody intelligent. Television. It's what the it's what the
all the the elite are buying all their kids. It's
in television. To go out a limb and say it
(07:19):
was cheaper because everybody was running after the Atari in television,
and then late later on Calleco Vision. Oh yeah, Calliko vision.
Sure well, Collie. Because I was all the little the
all handheld games now like the hand I remember having
handheld hockey and handheld football when I was a kid. Well, no,
I mean we had this small handheld, but they had
a larger system too. Oh they did. Yeah, I didn't
(07:42):
even know that. Really, you're all like done. What do
you got left? We're sold out of Atari, sold out
of television, We're sold out of Vectrex. No, but we
got dish the size of your house if we had it.
We got something called Calco Vision. Will take it. Whatever
it is. I gotta bring something on to my kid.
I got it. I'm telling you, though, I would love
(08:03):
an in television set of games again. It might be
one of the hobbies I picked back up once the
girls are gone is playing video games. There's many epic
fails from tonight's TNF game with the Dolphins, a lot
in the Ravens, which we'll get to in a minute,
but really like because you think about the warria of
the sports landscape right now, it's hard to ignore the settings.
(08:24):
When when the settings for the World Series is Halloween,
the settings for Thursday Night Football Halloween's the next day.
You know people are gonna come to the games dressed
up in cost and they did. They kept Prime kept
showing them all night. If you're the Dolphins, orange is
a color of Halloween. Orange is one of your team colors.
I know you have an orange color rush type churt.
How do you not have an orange jersey full orange
(08:47):
ready for Tonight's because you hate fun? How do you know?
I mean really, how do you not the game and
ross led organization? How does Mike McDaniel not have orange
capris and orange shoes ready or the game tonight? That
is a fair point, right, Like, how do you not
have that? Like some Zubaz looking things? That's kind of crazy.
Oh I love Zbaz. See, Zubaz pants were awesome. They
(09:08):
were so comfortable about. You can get them because it's
a hell of a player. Yeah, there's no question about it.
But I mean that might be Christmas presents for people
around here. Okay, Abaz, all right, it's got to be
He's got to be football. It's got to be because
Zubez is foot. Zubez is football. Oh yeah, but all right,
thee's fine, But it's really more fair. Zubaz is more
(09:29):
football though, because that was a football thing. Yeah. I
just remember the Road Warriors were getting them in ads.
But like, I did you know for a league that
never misses any sort of opportunity at all like the Dolphins.
You know, early on in the season, when you're playing,
you know you're playing on Halloween night, Thursday night games
aren't flexed out. Oh we didn't know day before Halloween.
(09:51):
Let's have orange uniforms. At least when you're getting drilled
twenty eight six and you're losing, at least you look
good doing it. Why not. Why if you're not playing good,
at least look good. That's it, right, because sometimes it
follows that if you look good, you play everybody's on.
Maybe if they look really good, they would have played
better than twenty eight six. Maybe a little sharp or
maybe one a half humblet at the you know, twelve
(10:12):
or fourteen or whenever it was picked up back to
the seven. But I feel like that's an easy decision. No,
we've had We've had some curiosities because remember yesterday we
were sitting waiting to come in as the Odd Couple
were finishing up their show and we're keeping an eye
on the World Series, and they were playing all Canadian
songs still in Los Angeles for the Blue Jays were winning.
(10:33):
So they're playing they're playing Brian Adams, they were playing nickelback,
nickelback I think a lot of miles. They were playing
a little bit sure you love a simple plan. I
think do you watch the Black Velvet video Black Velvet,
if you Please. That's one of those songs I remember
playing in college when it came out. It was a
huge hit. Oh yeah, playing it every hour and ten
minutes that I'll get you. Oh yeah, dude, do do
(10:56):
Mississippi in the middle. But no, it's a failed though
Fox's bumper music is always It was just kind of like, wait,
but you're you're in Los Angeles, but they're winning the game. Yeah,
but you go back if the Dodgers, Hey, we don't
get we don't get to go back if when the Dodgers,
if the Dodgers win Tomorrow night, they'll play Red Hot
Chili Peppers. Still you'll hear can't stop Dude, you Dune
(11:17):
do Do Do? Dude, they'll play LA bands. Tomorrow night.
It was the Blue Jays are winning. They were playing
songs by Canadian bands. Can we give them a longer list?
So maybe they leave that Doo do doll play a
little rush, They'll play a little I mean, you know,
I would really just go I really want to hear
like them play like addicted going to break because I'm
pretty sure simple playing is Canadian. I'm pretty sure they are.
(11:38):
If they're not, then then then well, I mean that
you might have out the window bequeath them too. But
then then Brian Adams officially, well, of course, well heaven
everything I do I do for you to do? That
song brings Sting and Rod Stewart out from me. Prince
of Thieves, okay, all for love, Robinhood, Prince of Thieves,
(11:58):
Oh for love? Yeah, no, he did it from Montreal, Okay, yeah,
a little bit. Yeah, just just hear dick. Now I'm
a dick. Did do you? Why not? You could play
some songs from the late Gordon life? What do you mean? Songs?
Is the one song? There's a lot of songs went,
He's got the Wreck of the Larry Fitzgerald. That's his song,
I dare you that's his song. Sure they get Chiegomy. Yeah,
(12:20):
that's one of those songs where whenever it's you wouldn't
think it. But whenever it's on the radio and I
listen on, I'm flipping around. I listened to him, you stop,
I'm like, yeah, I listen to the record. The Larry Fitzgerald.
I'm gonna listen to it, Yeah, as you should. Yeah.
He was still bellowing that out into his mid eighties.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Taking me back to nineteen eighty two and rock Well
featuring Michael Jackson. Somebody's watching me here on zz zz
Z one hundred FM Jason Mason in the Morning crew,
This is my friend Brendan, It's my guy. I never
played this song now, never played this song on a
proud of principle or just no opportunity. This song was
(14:51):
so red hot for like three months when it came
out because Michael Jackson was the biggest star in the
universe and he's on this uh doing a chorus at
the end, and I was like, oh, now the song
is like it's one of those like heard every day
for a few months and then like, no one's gone.
How much money I think they made on this?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Man, Well, hopefully maybe the record all to Rockwell. I mean,
I hope Rockwell made all the cash off of that.
Did say Michael Jackson said, Yeah, I'll be on this.
I'm gonna make all the money from it, but you'll
have a hit single. Oh okay. Well, I mean he
is a guy that talking to Paul McCartney about advice
and go get your publishing, and he bought a bunch
of the Beatles stuff, So Michael Jackson would not be
(15:33):
above doing such things. Rockwell is sixty one years old.
Good for him. I wonder if he's still touring you
gotta think he is. Remember the eighties, It comes out,
does his one song and leaves.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Right, one of those days, one of those shows where
everybody gets a songs. How many two, how many songs
you're out here for? I just do what well? Every night? Yes,
every week do it. We go. We do an extended
thing because people like it. For nine minutes, we do
three hundred and forty five year. I do one song
every night. One song. That's it. Well, I mean it's
(16:06):
it's not unlike performing in a play or what I mean.
It's it's it's the same show. It's one song. It's
one I tried to you know, wind that motivation for
rock Well to do one song, one song. See, if
I was gonna put on a concert, I'd bring about
for that one song. So Thursday night football goes to
(16:26):
the Ravens over the Dolphins. Don't think this surprised anybody.
Lamar Jackson back for the first time and really didn't
look that rusty like you could tell in the beginning
of the game. Okay, he hasn't played in a while,
but it helped to play the Dolphins. I mean, that's
number one. It really helps me play a team that bad.
But uh Lamar Jackson looked great. Two hundred yards passing
(16:50):
four touchdowns, didn't really run the football all that much.
That's the one thing that was missing from his game tonight,
and I'm sure that was part of the plan. Hey,
let's get you back in if you don't need to run,
it's the Dolphins. Let's not run, all right, let's let's
let's wait till you get back and you're feeling good,
then we can run. If we don't have to run,
let's not run. Which which page of the slide neck
(17:11):
was on non dot because it's the Dophs. It's owing.
We're not gonna need it. We're not gonna need it. No,
we're not going to Yeah, it's you know, you think
about this. It's funny like I used to always get
in a uh not an argument, but I would always
have to convince my pitchers when you're on the mount,
if your fastball is great, you don't need anything else
(17:31):
the first time through the lineup, don't need anything else
because if they're behind your fat and I could tell
if they're behind your fastball, don't throw anything else. Don't
let them see your other pitches, because all you need
is a fastball first time through the lineup, because you
don't need anything else. Then the second time through, when
they've seen your fat they've seen four or five fastballs,
so you're locating. Then throw your drop, throw your riser, curve,
(17:52):
whatever it is. Then let them see it, and they
would always No, I want to be able to throw
all my pitch. I can no. I understand that. I
understand that, but I want you to be I want
you to finish this game in the six and seventh
inning really strong, instead of we're just trying to hope
to get that extra couple of innings out of you. Right,
just if you don't need it the first inning, don't
throw it. There's no need to do it. Throw it
in warm ups, throw it every time you want to.
(18:13):
If you want to. If you're up zero to two
and you want to waste a pitch, okay, throw one
of them to get it. But like you don't need
to throw it, don't. Don't sit here and go well,
I want to throw it, and then all of a
sudden you're getting a two two count, a full count.
You don't need to. I'm sure that was a conversation
John Harbor have with Lamar Jackson. Listen, it's the Dolphins.
If you don't need to run, don't run. We're probably
not gonna need your legs to win tonight. We probably
(18:34):
only need you to throw lefty because it's the Dolphins.
But you know, we just just contract throwing it. You
know what, I'm gonna challenge you tonight, Lamar, What are
you gonna say, coach? Only throw the ball to your
tight ends, no matter who I am out there, no
wide receivers, but but but god, but good coach like
Zay Flowers is really no, No, I don't want to
throw it to but what No, just throw it to
(18:55):
your tight ends. Okay, coach, I'll take your challenge. Well,
and that's kind of what he did tonight. Isaa like
he had three catches for sixty yards. I think he
had forty five yards all season without Lamar Jackson. It
was good to have him back, right Coolar's got the
tight end, Carlo got the touchdown pass. Mark Andrews two catches,
both for touchdowns as well. So clearly he won that
conversation and that challenge from John Harbo. Yeah, they did
(19:18):
a good job to leak the extra tight end out.
I mean, when you're playing three guys out there and
having some fun deploying them as alternately the blocking or
then sneaking them out as you did. I mean, because again, Andrews,
you talk about operational efficiency, right, it's the old all right,
two catches, two touchdowns, way to go. We joked about
(19:39):
it the third touchdown pass, like maybe he threw it
to the wrong guy in the eighties, but he was
wide open. I mean, if you met Mark. Sorry dude,
but I thought about when you dropped the ball against
the Bills last year and oh, I'm sorry that was
out loud. I have no inner monologue. Wow, sorry, I'm
you know it pretty good. I mean, look, Dolphins have
a couple of double digit played drives. They moved the
(20:01):
ball well just in the end, shot themselves in the
foot repeatedly. We had the big play, thirty six yard
pass play, a beautiful ball down down the field of
waterle that gets negated by a penalty that is going
to be uh debated quite a bit, as you had
Gordon falling. I don't know how much it's gonna be debated.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Now.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
It was twenty eight to six. The Dolphins rolled over,
but well no they did. They did eventually roll over.
But in the moment you're it's like, all right, you're
hanging tough. Like the New Kids on the Block when
they reinvented themselves, you were hanging tough. I think that
was still No, hanging tough was still in there. Hang
It wasn't that. No, that was like the next the
next iteration though, No, the next iteration was games. That
(20:44):
was games and no, no, hanging tough was still their
first bit. It was their second album, which was Yeah.
But but it was that that next push forward that
was like whoa, please don't go girl? Oh yeah, yeah, okay,
you're gonna go full trip. I played, I played a
lot of that. You didn't play rock well, No, a
lot of you had a problem with rockwell. Just here's
(21:05):
the one thing is that I would get into disagreements
with my program director in college playing New Kids on
the Block songs because they were everywhere right. Every every
time they did something, they and we would always have
no problem if they did something crazy and we made
fun of them, and our program director would would call
the hotline, like in the middle of the show, which
was like crazy and he would call and he would say, hey,
(21:26):
you know, New Kids on the Block. Everybody really listens
to the show. They really like the New Kids on
the Block. I don't think they like that you make
fun of them. I go, I think it's an okay
thing to do. It's a story. Other stations are going
to do it, right, Yeah, but they really listened. I go, yeah,
I mean other Top forty stations are going to make
fun of these stories, and and and he was like, yeah, no,
(21:47):
but remember the you know people, you know that they're
all ages that listen to us, and they like New
Kids on the Block. And I'm like, we play New
Kids on the Block every hour. They're gonna not listen
to us, Like, I'm like, what this is? No, he
was the worst. He was the worst. No, he was
that and now that there you go. He would he
used to try to put himself on the air over
(22:09):
a lot of us in different in different like we
were doing the morning show, and he would put himself
on the air. Why are you on the air, Why
are you coming out? Like he was not He was
probably better than New Kids on the Block. I still
have a radio career after going through what I went
through at Z eighty nine with some of the people
that music. Oh no, no, but still but just being
in radio, the stuff I went through back then. Man,
the fact that I'm still in I still love it
(22:29):
in radio now, Like that's something that I didn't think
was gonna still need to do one of these eight
Let's talk about the eighties. Let's talk about the kind
of shows. At some point before we wrapped this thing up.
But did you ever get that suspicious feeling that maybe
the MTV studios they locked the New Kids on the
Block away in a room because they seem to show
(22:49):
up in those studios an awful lot, or they just said, hey,
come in for a day. We're gonna spend twenty hours
taping a whole bunch of things, and we're gonna make
it seem like you're live. Okay, all right, all right,
New Kids on the Block. All of their favorite horror
movies for the Halloween Day theme. Take one go. They
got full racks of clothes that change. Remember to shave,
(23:14):
Remember to shave like it's a new Donnie, what's your
favorite horror movie? I'm gonna punch you in the face
right now, Adam Curry, don't ask me any more questions.
Been here for twenty hours. Wait, that's the outfit you
need to do. That's that's your Halloween get up with
with his hair. You just did. You just did all
of my favorite Valentine's Date songs. I can't do any
(23:36):
more of this. All right, ask me one more question.
I will punch you in the faith. We'll be back
right after this. But new kids on the block coming
up next. Yeah, no, no, no, but okay, I actually, when
it merits, I will tell you the story of when
(23:57):
I wound up leaving Zad and I'll tell you it's
it's a great story. But to get back to Lamar
Jackson before, like before it became seen one hundred. No, no,
the Different States was eighty nine. Then they got promoted
as time went on, they all way up to one hundred.
But Lamar Jackson comes back and he's terrific. And now
the big de facto conversation is gonna be. Oh, here
(24:17):
come the Ravens back, just like the Chief. Everything's back.
The ravens are back. The Ravens are back. Okay, this
is how far I'm gonna go. And I'm gonna give
you a little bit of an enigma route than a mystery,
because it is holloween. That's good. I like that. Can
the Ravens win the AFC North? Absolutely, hundred percent, they
can win the AFC North. Are they a playoff team?
Speaker 3 (24:39):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
But wait a minute. How can they win the AFC
North and they'll be a playoff team? Ricky, Bobby, how
can I would how can they be You said they
can win the AFC North. Yes, one hundred percent, they
can win the AFC North. But how can they're not
a playoff team? The reason is very simple, It's very
very simple. It's only one one reason why they can
win the division and not be a playoff team. Why
is that? How is that? DEA's fuzzy man on fuzzy Man.
(25:05):
He's gonna have to You're gonna have to walk me
through this. They can win the division. Talk to me
like a five year old, Tell me like I'm five. Okay,
the next year so I'll be six. Ravens can win
the division. But if they have any sort of guts,
or Ravens or Steelers or Bengals, you got the guts
at the end of the season, when you clinch with
(25:27):
a seven and ten record, you say, hey, NFL, we
don't feel right taking this division championship into the playoffs.
We're gonna give it back to a more deserving team. Hey,
there's a team in the NFC. Hey, the Seahawks at
all they could to get to nine and eight. I
feel really we want to give our playoff spot to
them because the AFC North stinks out loud. Every team stinks.
(25:52):
They all have problems. None of them are good. The
Ravens win to the Ravens beat the Dolphins. The Dolphins
mayn't even have a team in a week. They're all
gonna be Oh, Mike McDaniel might not be coaching. Like
every team that in this division is terrible. That Steelers
have shown you. We're not for real. We can't beat
anybody who's decent. We're not good at anything. We don't
(26:12):
throw the football well, we don't run the football, we
don't play defense well. The only reason we're in first
place is everybody else stinks. The Bengals, hey, they would
have been good, but they lost Joe Burrow and now suddenly,
hey they lost to the Jets. So how good are
the Bengals? And the Browns. Brown's gonna brown Browns can't
get out of the brown's own way. Brown brown, brown
brown or brown brown brown brown Brown Brown. This entire
division stinks, and if you told me a team was
(26:34):
gonna win it at seven to ten, I would say, hey,
I'll take odds on that eight and nine. Now you're
really saying something, but this is how bad this division is. Yes,
you can win the division or you playoff team, though,
because entire division stinks. Okay, well, let's look at the
rest of their schedule. First off, let me get the odds.
They play each other, and when stink. The teams who
stink play other teams who stink. Teams at stink usually wins. Well,
(26:54):
you kind of stole my thunder there, now, didn't you
saying the team that stinks, team that's stunk a little less,
a little less pungent. The Ravens minus one forty five,
they stink Steelers at two to one, they steak more
angles in six and a half. They steaks so bad.
The Cleveland Browns, how bad do they stay? Stink an
(27:16):
entire continent more than the other teams? Be careful thirty
five to one? Like maybe Antarctica oh is because well
it is sizable. There's no question dj clearly, maybe they
would even lose to the Penguins playing in Antarctica in space,
no one can hear you scream. All right, So we
got Minnesota. Who's their quarterback? Now? Now you see Carson
(27:38):
Wentz trying to defect? Yeah, hey, wasn't him? Whatever? You
guys are gonna pay me right, Okay, yeah, no, I'm fine.
Thing it's good. Out of their final nine games, they
still have five division games, They've only played Cleveland. Someone
someone is winning this division with an under five hundred.
They still have the Jets. Now they have New Englan
(28:00):
in Green Bay back to back. So those are two
legitimate teams everybody else. This is the worst part is
that all these teams stink. They're gonna play a bunch
of other teams that they're gonna cannibalize it, which means
which means the teams that stink just a little bit
worse are gonna lose. So these AFC North teams that
stink are gonna win, but they're not gonna win enough.
And we're gonna have an eight nine, eight to nine
(28:21):
win the AFC one. But that's okay, that's not okay, Sure,
it is not okay. There's not any given Sunday, No
any given Sunday. They can rise up. You know that
is true. But there's a reason why you play the
rest of the regular season. I get it. There's the
reason why you play the regular station to earn the
right to move on to play. Sometimes people don't play
Week seventeen. There's nothing I can do there for fantasy
purposes or in real nine. The Jets, the Jets played once,
(28:44):
the Jets played one, the Jets one once either the
way they rallied when they actually came together and wanted
to play, ruining a shot. Angry about it. We're ruining
our shot, at Fernando Mendoza, We're ruining that we're gonna
get or not. No, no, no, you're gonna You're gonna fight
the Saints and the they stay Dolphins and the Dolphins
and the Titans. Stink. Yeah, we're not catching the Dolphins.
(29:05):
Play them again. Yeah, don't even argue with him. He
knows stink better than I know bad football. You know
what that is true? I know football, but you know,
we celebrate the wins. And until they changed away from
a division structure, which then changes the schedule altogether, which
I'd be okay with because I think it's terrible. Like
the fact that you still have five division games, and
then you have other other divisions that have played most
(29:28):
of their SLINKs. It's ludicrous. Hi, I'm Jason Smith, and
I watch bad football, so you don't have to. Most
Sundays you're watching either. Look at your YouTube channel. You're
watching maybe four games at once, all good games. I'm
watching the Jets that you're not watching.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
That.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
That's what we should do. That should be a bit
that we run on a Sunday night. We're gonna do
the recaps of the two worst games that you didn't
spend eight hours of your life watching. Hey, you didn't
watch Jets Bengals. You probably didn't watch Jags Titans either.
I got your recap on both of those. It's good
games right there. Highlights not included, Yeah, it's there would
(30:05):
be a highlight here. I got this picture I drew
of a cow Hey, it's easy to talk Broncos Cowboys.
How about Jets Bengals? How about that? How about Titans Cardinals?
Who wants a half hour on Titan's Cardinals. That's what
we've been joking about forever. We watch it so you
don't have to. All two hundred and seventy two glorious
(30:28):
Regular season games, exit out about a Fresca exit swalling
down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon,
time out to find out what's trending in the wide
world sports of someone who's been spending half the night
figuring out what's trending, the other half getting her Halloween
costume for tomorrow. It's Monsie Belonging.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
You're right, it was a perfect night though, because the
game ended rather quickly.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
NBA ended rather quickly.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
We've just got one NHL game that's still going on,
and it's the Red Wings and the King's Red Wings
are up right now two to one store early in
the third period, while the Devil's lost to the Sharks
five to two.
Speaker 1 (31:02):
That was the other game going When if the Devil
should win the day before Halloween show, that's really a
bomb effort. Where's the inspiration? Where's the flyer? Right?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
That's Today's a day to win, but the Devil's lost.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Do you look at things like like the Ravens have
an offensive lineman named Voorhe's I mean, it's not quite Halloween,
but it's close enough. They want to know. But I
mean the mascot is Poe.
Speaker 5 (31:22):
That is true.
Speaker 4 (31:23):
Look at that lick that yeah, Ravens. They beat the
Dolphins twenty eight to six. Kicking off Week nine of
the NFL. There was a controversial tripping call that happened
early in the first half of the game. Here is
Mike McDaniel, head coach of the Dolphins, about that call.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
You know, there's a subjective call that you know, New
York was called into determine whether or not the objective
part of the subjective call, which was whether or not
there was contact.
Speaker 5 (31:52):
They they confirmed.
Speaker 6 (31:53):
So I saw, you know, a guy trip and fall
or slip, and he was called for intentionally tripping somebody.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
So that's what I saw.
Speaker 5 (32:04):
It was a bad call.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
How easily he loses people when he talks like he
lost me on the objective part of the subjective call.
Used that word trip and realize he knows right, I
want to say slip. He starts talking and he's that
that profess you have in college where after the first
minute of class your eyes just glaze over. You go,
I'm just gonna look at all the people I think
are really attractive and and try to catch their eye
(32:27):
and I'm not. I'm not paying attention to anything your
So you get a full transcript of what you're saying here, right,
I really I've lost Just.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
So funny because I literally was going to ask you, guys,
explain that to me, like I'm five, What did he
just say?
Speaker 5 (32:39):
It was a terrible call, But you're right, he went.
He took the scenic row to give you the answer
of it was a bad call.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
The objective part of the subjective call something d oo economics,
voodoo economics. That was the best pass to his throat
all year. It was, it was, it was a pretty ball.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
It was they just took back.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Baltimore improves to three and five, Miami falls to two
and seven. In the NBA, the Spurs for the first
time in franchise history, starting the season five and oh,
they beat the Heat one o seven to one oh one.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Victor Ie Banyama literally can do it all, you guys.
Speaker 4 (33:14):
Twenty seven points, eighteen rebound, six assists, five blocks, thunder
start the season six and oh, so they're still undefeated.
They beat the Wizards win twenty seven to one oh eight.
Sha Gildo Alexander thirty one points and seven rebounds. No
Janni Santokumpu today today for the Bucks. They still beat.
The Warriors went twenty to one ten and Paulo Badkaro
dropped twenty points nine rebound, nine assists as a magic outscore.
The Hornets won twenty three to one oh seven. And
(33:37):
in LSU, as we know, fired Brian Kelly not long ago. Well,
Scott Woodward is now out as the athletic director of LSU.
Speaker 5 (33:45):
The school announced this tonight.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Give it away more money to him. Hang on, the
school of the governor announced it tonight? Who announced the
firing this school? You sure? Yeah? Wasn't the governor?
Speaker 5 (33:55):
The governor?
Speaker 1 (33:56):
The governor? Okay?
Speaker 5 (33:58):
All right, yeah, no, hey, maybe was the governor?
Speaker 1 (34:00):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Governor?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
The governor?
Speaker 5 (34:02):
Are we talking about the governor?
Speaker 1 (34:03):
The governor from Walking Dead? Yes, we were talking about right.
I thought I was sure the guy from Basic Instinct two.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Yes, now Arnold not Arnold?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
No no, no, no, no, no no no, no, all right,
thank you much. Hard coming up next, as we are
less than twenty four hours away from Game six of
the World Series, I really want to know what the
hell the Dodgers were doing today as they were talking
about getting set for what they want to do in Toronto.
(34:32):
That's next, right here, Jason and Mike Fox. Be sure
to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific,
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, Happy Halloween. Uh, we got more
(34:53):
football on the way in about ten minutes. I'll give
you a dollar if you run around the streets tomorrow
when you go for your walk with the dog, running
like wall in weapons like blood grip from my from
my eyes, like with long I think you'd be a
pretty good bit. Just start chasing people around your neighborhood.
We're just got a bunch of kids to run like that,
like a bunch of kids just running out like tomorrow night,
(35:15):
like when it's dark and the kids all leaving their house,
like in their night clothes, just running down. I gotta
be really exactly. Oh yeah, well yeah, till the sun
goes down. That is, when the sun goes down. When
the sun goes down. Tomorrow, we will have Game six
of the World Series. Blue Jays and the Dodgers. Yeah
we'll be grooving. And uh, I say game six because
(35:36):
you would think after hearing the Dodgers and Dave Roberts
talk to me it was game seven, because what dominated
Dave Roberts media day availability today was the talk of
what the plan could be for show Heyo Tani in
game seven. Here's Dave Roberts from earlier today. And you
talked yesterday about the possibility of show Hate being available
(35:58):
in relief. Could that be as soon as tomorrow game
six or you know, we'll see how he comes in tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
But you know right now, obviously when you're a facing elimination,
then you've got to have those conversations. So whatever it
takes for us to win tomorrow, and obviously you know
Yama's going and then we're gonna do whatever we can
to put our best foot forward on the run prevention
side and then on the creation side and scoring runs too.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
So he went on to talk more about game seven,
said there's a lot of things on the table. Sure,
he said, I'm going to have a conversation with Show Hey,
this is at the end. I'm going a conversation with
about what we can do for him for game seven.
And what I want to say is, Okay, I get it,
I get that. This is this is something you're going
to talk with with your coaches about what do we
(36:45):
do in game six game seven? If we have Otani start,
we can keep his bat in the lineup. But if
he's going to start game seven, this will affect our
relief situation for Game six. That I understand. But the
amount of time that they spent talking and we spent
talking about game seven and what Otani can do in
game seven, this tells me. I don't know if the
(37:07):
Dodgers really quite get where they're at right now in
the playoffs. They have not hit the entire playoff, and
every bit of messaging from the Dodgers has been there's
no panic, we know we have to do, we know
we have to start hitting. Everything is fine, We're gonna
go in. Hey, Toronto's a great team. We're gonna I
really don't want to hear anything about game seven. I
don't want to hear anything about game seven because you
(37:29):
don't win game six, guess what, you don't play game seven.
And for a lot of today I thought, did I
fall asleep and miss game six? And they haven't and
I missed it? Like wow. I would love to see
if the Dodgers tied the series up, or maybe they're
playing Game seven before Game six, and then hey, they
win the series when they go back and play like,
I don't want to hear anything about Game seven, and
the entire the entire World Series for me, is wrapped
(37:51):
up in The Dodgers need a sense of bleep in urgency,
man like, they need a sense of understanding that this
is this is it, this is not just Hey, we
won the World Series last year. We get here just
about every year. We know how to win. There's no
sense of panic here. Sometimes think a little bit of
panic is good, A little bit of sense of urgency
is good. Not enough so far, clearly, because how you're
(38:11):
flat after winning that eight to inning game with Freddie
Freeman's walk off home run. I don't understand. It's been
an epic fail for the Dodgers since then, because they've
played like they expected the Blue Jays to just fall over.
And we don't understand why haven't just quit, Why we're
not just roll up with our guys and scoring five
or six runs and beating them like they have been
sitting around. The Blue Jays have been more aggressive. I
(38:33):
want a little bit more of games. Everything is at stake.
We have to don't even ask me anything about games. Well,
ask me after that, Otani Otani after tomorrow to ask
me about game six, as about Yamamoto, asked me about
their lineup, ask me about MOOKI, asked me about Freddie,
asked me about Shoey in the lineup. Don't ask me
about game seven. But I just get the overall sense
(38:55):
that thought they really need someone to come into the
locker room and say, hey, guys, you know this is it, right.
You know this is not like you get twelve games
to get the You know this is it, and you
need to be doing it much better than you have
so far. I need to see that sense of urge.
You know, who's got that right temperament to come in?
Ron say, sure, Penguin could come in, or Will Ferrell
and his whites slamming a steel chair on the line.
(39:17):
You could do that. You can channel that and bring
that in. That would certainly ring Will Ferrell in. And
since you're in Canada, you could get Drake. They don't
want to lose. Oh right, Oh they're trying to win. Sorry.
Oh yeah, I was just thinking from the historical right,
I mean, because this is obviously where Tommy Lesorda would
have been kind of a big deal for them. Tommy
(39:38):
Lisorda would have been talking about the Dodgers' performance in
the locker room a lot after Game four, There's no
question about it. Maybe they just do a super cut
of all of the reaction shots from Sandy kofeks. Hey, guys,
you're disappointing Sandy. Okay, you're disappointing Sandy. This is not
intolerable here in this organization. This is Wait, now you're
(40:01):
talking like from this is not about me, this is
not this is about Sandy bleeping kofax Man. And then
after every sentence Dave utters as he's trying to inspire
the team. There's the glaring Sandy kofax over the show.
They should have a cardboard cut out of him in there.
I don't understand the Dodgers' entire approach to the playoffs
(40:22):
in this World series. I think with the with Dave though,
like he's kind of a fault in this one of
entertaining it because he does talk Hey, everything's on the
table for Game six and then we go from there.
But then, you know, gives a little more to the
conversation because it's how you have to manage Otani and
it's a legitimate story, right, because it's uncharted territory in
(40:46):
terms of the way you have to operate with him.
But no, I get your point. You want a little
fire and brimstone. I gotta have a little fun to
snap back at a reporter. Get out here, exit up about
a Fresco exit swollen dome? Coming up next, coming off
of There's Night Football? Who should be traded by the deadline? Wait,
don't we tell you who the answer is? That's next,
(41:06):
