the MLB All Star Game coming up in a couple
of minutes. You know, big stuff going on tonight, but
big breaking news. Kevin Wyatt brought us to us about
a half hour or so ago. It is time for
(01:02):
everybody to change their tune, and by that I mean
the WNBA players and coaches. According to the Athletic the
WNBA has just struck their new media rights deal for
the next decade plus. Now when the numbers are gonna
seem all about we're talking about well, yes, the NBA
is going to have a seventy six billion dollars six
(01:22):
I mean seventy six billion dollars, so I understand. But
right now, the WNBA is making sixty million dollars a
year on their media rights deal. Sixty million dollars a year.
Sixty million, okay, sixty million, that's they're making currently. According
to The Athletic, the WNBA has just reached a media
(01:44):
rights deal for the next eleven years and two point
two billion dollars with a B. That's two hundred million
dollars a year compared to sixty million dollars a year,
which is a six three hundred.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Three hundred percent three hundred percent sixty one twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Three three three forty three hundred and sixty one eighty twenty.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Three thirty three thirty three? Is it? Three thirty three?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Did I do the math right on that, mister math,
mister matth w math right. That is a three hundred
and thirty three percent increase over what it is currently
three thirty three. It is now time for coaches like
Cheryl Reeve for a WNBA players to stop and go,
(02:39):
you know what, thank you, Caitlin, thank you. We're done
with the stupid jealousy because wait, we talked. Now. You know,
after seeing how things have gone out the last few weeks,
that the controversy surrounding Caitlin Clark and to a smaller extent,
Angel Reese is not about anything other than, hey, we've
(03:00):
been around for a long time and now this girl
is gonna come into the league and now she's the
one that gets everything. No, it's jealousy over Caitlin Clark
because we've been here for song. I'm sorry, but that's
how sports goes, right. Yes, I'll show you how many
MLB stars from the eighties who are Hall of famers
(03:21):
that are going, hey, I'm lucky I invested well, or
I don't know where i'd be. I'm not making the
money these guys make nowadays. That's just how it goes
in sports, right, That's how it goes. And now they
should be thanking Caitlyn Clark before every game. Every team
should line up and shake her hand and go, hey,
thank you for giving us an over three hundred percent
(03:43):
increase on our media rights deal for everybody getting bleeping paid, right,
because all of this now up until now, Oh, Kaitlyn's
not that we've been here, but no, you're not getting
any of this without Caitlyn Clark. Okay, and let's let's
just say this right because people want to say Caitlyn
Angel Angel Reese is a really good player.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Anyway, she's a really good player. Now, the double double
streak has been a big thing, but you see some
of her double doubles and you see three or four
rebounds are on one play after three or four misshots.
She's a good player. She's a WNBA star. Just like
there's NFL stars and there's MLB stars as NBA stars,
then there's the super duper stars. Then there's a Lebron's
(04:22):
and the Mahomes and the and the judges and the otanis.
There's WNBA stars. There's Asia Wilson, right, there's Sabrina I Andescue,
There's Breonna Stewart, there's Kelsey Plumb, there's Angel Reese coming in,
and there's Caitlin Clark that just has that extra bit
that nobody has ever had.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That's how it goes.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
If Caitlin Clark doesn't come into the If everybody else
comes into the draft this year and not Caitlin Clark,
is this happening, of course not Angel Reese is not
bringing this to the WNBA. No one's going crazy, going, boy, well,
I can't wait to see her rebound. Well, that's great,
she rebounds great. She's a great personality, she's a great,
complimentary player, and coming in, hey, why did she go
(05:03):
number seven? Probably should have gone number two. Overall, her
rivalry with Caitlin Clark is great. And certainly she does
enough and there's enough pushing Angel Reese to be a
great player.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
And you got it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Now you got coaches saying maybe Angel Reese is the
rookie of the year. Okay, I get that. And she's
a good player, she's not Caitlin Clark. If Caitlyn Clark
comes into the league this year and nobody else does,
is a WNBA getting this media rights deal? Of course
they are. Caitlin Clark is bringing this league a three
hundred and thirty three percent increase in media rights deal.
They're going from sixty million dollars a year to two
(05:34):
hundred million dollars a year because of one player, because
of Caitlin Clark, and I said it in the beginning
that this is going when she comes into the league.
It's the Magic and Larry effect. And it's not she's
She's Larry and angel Reese is Magic. No, she's Magic
and Larry. So all this magic Larry stuff you're hearing
we talked about this three months ago. So this is
something we should really be making money off of because
(05:55):
we are the ones that said she's magic and Larry
combined coming into the WNBA. I remember Gottlieb laughed when
I said that. He goes, come on, Jason, really, I said, yeah,
she'd have a magic Larry type effect. He goes. I
remember him saying, I love you man, but come on,
I love you man, but come on, dude, you can
tweet it out our take.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Really, I mean, we should make money off of that
because that was that was our thing. She's both of
those players.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
She just is.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
She has the Jois de vive, she has the Qube rating,
She's got the it factor that nobody else has. Are
more people going to games, yeah, more people going to
sky games because Angelice is popularly, Yeah, more people now
going to Vegas games because hey, Kelsey Plumb is more popular.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Age Wilson has been a star. She's getting the shoot
like all of those things.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, you balance signed a big deal with WNBN today, right.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Cameron Brink has been in a bunch of those ads,
but it's been a big push.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
It might have all been jes stating, but Caitlin Clark's
the one that made it pop.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Right, because you had stars, no question about.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
It, go all the way down, i'd esq and Jiassi
even had forty two whatever. All of these stars have
been in place. But you just look at the attendance.
You look at what happens when the Fever come to town.
You're always having to look and see is there a
concert or some other event at a larger arena in
(07:14):
the city that we can move this event to. And
they're selling twenty thousand tickets time and again. And Angel
Reese is the perfect foil, the perfect whatever you know,
arch Nemesis in this and she plays it up well,
and yes, refinement of her game is going to be
a thing. But in the interim, yeah, you need to
have a good villain. And again, depending on which side
(07:37):
of the coin you are, because you got a lot
of folks that are angel Rees fans, so now there's
hate watching it.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Caitlyn. No, look happen. I get it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
The rivalries you're talking about rivalries on the court. I
completely understand that. But let's understand, but let's really realize. Okay,
that's all fun and all, but you're talking about who's
responsible for bis upon billions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
No, but but I'm saying, like it it all goes
in drags, like she's the one pulling it along. So
whatever percentage you want to ascribe to ascribe to it.
But people are paying attention to these other games like
they hadn't before, even when she's not involved like what
she is. I mean, we see the ratings right time
and again, which is why every once in a while
when there's that Wednesday afternoon game, I say, what the
(08:20):
hell are we doing. We're not drawing it, although I
know it's good for the campers and everybody that's showing
up at that point.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
But what you have is an effect.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
And while there's been a lot of complaints about you know,
people not understanding back and forth of you know, do
you watch just highlights and whatever else, I mean, people
get in their fights and find their corners. Same story
that I've been all along. We talked magic and bird effect.
We've also talked about the Hey party. Let everybody in
(08:52):
explain the game. If you need to talk to me
like I'm a five year old, but I'm at your party.
Let's have fun with it and continue to try to
see if we can't grow it.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
So next year I'll be six. Right, but your parents
won't give you as much money for the lemonade stand.
I mean, look, look, because I'll be honest with you
right now. Look you and I roughly say age, I'm
a couple of years older than you are. If someone
can and look, I like what we're doing where we're
at here Fox Sports Radio. It's awesome. If somebody came in,
(09:22):
twenty two year old wonder Kin radio guy coming in
like all of a sudden, Hey, can't miss prospects.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Right, this kid's gonna be great.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Right, he's been doing radio since he's six years old,
and look where he is now. He's incredibly intelligent, he's
got whatever I mean. Look, I'm talking about something that
doesn't exist, but let's just say it happened, and a
twenty two year old shows up and comes to Fox
Sports Radio, and all of a sudden, it's hey, we
got to give this guy a prime time Joey and
he goes on in the morning's made whatever it is.
(09:49):
Let's just like I said. And because of this Fox
Sports rate say hey, guess what, guys, our advertising is
now being sold here and here, and guess what this means.
Everybody on the station.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Can make more money.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You guys are all gonna make more money because of
this twenty two year old kid. Okay, am I gonna
sit here and say, we're we're we're a network. Okay,
We're about all of us. It's not just about one.
It's not just about this twenty two year old kid
who could come in here and could do better impressions
than I can, which he can't be funnier than I am,
which he's not. But let's you it's oh no, no,
(10:22):
it's about all of It's about all of us. No,
I would say, hey, hey kid, Hey, thanks man. I've
been busting my ass for a long time and I'm happy.
I'm happy making more money. Harmon's happen making more money.
You know how much memorabilia he's gonna spend time buying. Now,
every day he spends like ninety eight percent of his
day buying memorabilia. Now he's gonna spend the entire day
(10:44):
and way more money on memorabilia. Frostburg is gonna come
in with real life stuff from sho Heyo Tani's locker
in Chavez Ravine every single day because of this.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
We're all men. It's understand that you're doing better and
this this jealousy of what's going Oh, we've been here,
we've been a beer. How is this affecting your life?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Well, what I would say to this, to use your
radio example, right, it's always the what about me?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Where's my love? Right?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Dollars and cents, time slots, all of that. That's that's
the fight in the business and anybody else. You know,
you're fighting for territories as a sales rep or where
you're driving, or or whatever shift you have to work, right,
second or third shift, whatever. Everybody's got their thing in
their workplace. There's naturally gonna be a minute about what
about me? And then the check's gonna clear. You go, oh,
(11:36):
that's good for the company and it's good for me,
And nothing changed, Nobody took anything away from you.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And no using anything, using anything like.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
In the worst case scenario, going back to the w NBA,
the worst case scenario is people are paying attention to
your play and your coaching that maybe didn't before. Now
you can say they're ill in formed about the history
and whatever else, but you're getting the attention that you
did in before.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Isn't that Ultimately.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
It's what you want, notable, but you wanted it because
of what you did. You didn't want it because of
someone that you don't feed. Ay, they haven't put in
the work. I have no I'm pretty sure Katelyn Clark's
been busting her ass her whole life. I'm sorry she's
better than any of you when they came into the league.
I'm sorry she's more popular than any.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Of you, but she is right.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's sometimes the fight that that that that the top
one percent have because they're not the top one tenth
of one percent is just just baffles me. It just
about like, look at look at the PGA Tour. When
Tiger showed up on the PGA Tour, right, these guys
were smart. Was there backlash?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Was there? I hate Tiger Woods? Was there no? Because
very quickly it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Was oh wait a minute, He's not gonna win every tournament.
And wait, after a year or so, the purse for
this this event was like three point four million. Now
it's five point seven million. Now, wait a minute, I
can I can make a lot more money. Everybody understood
very quickly. They understood very quickly. Wait a minute, this
(13:07):
is okay. Tiger's helping all of us now, and and
that's where it should and that's where I hope it
gets to now because people have to understand this is
because of one person, and it's she's transcendent, and because
it's not you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not you,
but this helps you.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Off of the TV.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Off of this deal, they get half, right, the CBA
is that's half to the Blazers. She's not getting all
this money if this was Hey, of this, of this
two point two billion dollars, I'm sorry, we're giving Caitlin
two billion of it.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
I'm sorry, you're not getting it. No, you're all getting
She's not getting any extra cut of this money. Hey,
whatever should be whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
She's getting paid right now. Overall with sponsors in the league,
it ain't enough. It is not enough. Sounds like it
is not enough.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Certain guy from a city that starts with see ends
and on and in the middle.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I mean it can't go.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I mean, whatever she's getting paid, it's not enough, Absolutely
not enough. She should be getting paid way more. I mean, real,
look what Look at what she's done by herself. It's
not this is not that. Now it's gone past.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Hey, charter flights for everybody.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
That's great, But grumble grumble, grumble, grumble, grumble, grumbled, grumble, grumble.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Oh yeah, two point two billion dollars. Grumble grumb just just.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Sneak in a hamstru again. Big stuff happening even this
late at night. Congratulations the WNO. How much do you
think Alex Sar paid the WRE.

Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon Livethetirack dot Com studios. The American League
are your All Star Game winners, overcoming the National League
and those horrendous uniforms to win five three, the tenth
All Star win in the last eleven games. And in
(16:04):
the next few minutes, we're gonna get to the two
biggest stories of the last two days with MLB All
Stars Okay and number one. The biggest story tonight, and
again it tells you about the game itself. Yeah, Shoho
tani three run Homer, but that got overcome. He didn't
win the MVP. Jaron Duran wins. He it's the tie
breaking two run Homer. And the overwhelming story has easily
(16:27):
been about how bad the All Star.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Game jerseys are? No, I were good?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
How bad were they? This is how bad the All
Star Game jerseys are. There's topics that we do every
single night on the show, and it could be a
topic where, boy, something is almost universally loved or universally hated,
and you're still gonna find somebody who wants attention on
(16:52):
TV or the radio and is gonna take the smallest,
most unpopular portion of that and flip it and try
to make it sound legitimate. Right, You get that, You
get the hot takers that go, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna
really sound ridiculous on this, but I'm gonna come out
and say I like this.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
There'll be one, right, But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
But here's the thing that's for almost any other story,
that's almost any other story, but for this story, you
find me the guy or girl anybody who's gonna come
out in the next twenty four hours tomorrow on TV,
on the radio, and it's gonna say I like the
All Star jerseys. I mean there's limits. There's limits, man,
(17:33):
nobody's gonna come out and say and be able to
back it up with anything more than just well, I
want to I want to be different. I want to
stand out. I want to say something people, because look,
being real is always the best thing you do on
the radio. You want people to listen to you and
watch you on TV because hey, this is kind of
who you are. I understand we're in an error now
where people want to make some or what do you
(17:54):
want to bout it? But we're in the eraror where
people want to make stuff up and talk. But who
is going to be able to stand up and say
I love those jersey. I'd rather shoot oh for fifteen
than wear one of those jerseys.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Ooh okay, okay, oh for fifteen?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Like like Alex sar tonight or Frostburg, you have to
wear the American League jersey every day for a month.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Do you know me? Every day for a month. I
would never put it on every day, every every day
for a week, a week a week, not even for
a minute.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, one hundred dollars a day. That's a lot for
every day that you wear that jersey all day. When
you get up in the morning, you put that jersey on,
you go to bed at night, you take that jersey off.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
One hundred dollars a day, No chance, I'll tell the
family they're not eating.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
We're going to McDonald's again. Oh and it's gotta be
the five dollar deals now, the new ones I got,
not not those fancy ass stuff.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Now.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I brought my own nice in the ballpit. Nobody swimming
in the ball nobody.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I will say that if you are talking about who
had the better jersey, who wore it best?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The National League just because the sky blue in the
black is a much better combination than bright pink and
orange and cream like that's a horrible color like that,
like the they.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Not come out to princess cream. The National League.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
The National League jerseys look like the Dodgers jerseys when
you compare them to the American League.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I mean, come on, man.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
American League ery jerseys are the only ones worst in
the Padre City Connects.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Are they worse? Though?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, dude, look at look at there, City Connects. Man,
they're dude. The Padre City Connects looked like a little
kid just picked, just took it to everything I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna do with a different color magic marker. I
did the blue one. Now I'm gonna do the pink one.
Now I'm gonna do the future one. Now I'm gonna
do at the same time.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
No, that's good, right, you put it in.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
It used to have the thing to draw lines like
your teacher would do with choking.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, when we go on the board, when you.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Had to practice your cursive, you know, on the you know,
full vertical wall.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I mean I look at Aaron Judge in this jersey,
and I go, how do you make the guy wear that?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
How do you make it? Where's the thing?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Right? Is that we were looking online just to kind
of for giggles as to what the pricing was on
this stuff. A replica of these jerseys is one hundred
and ninety four dollars plus tax. Okay, so we're into
two hundred.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Is that what they pay you?
Speaker 5 (20:32):
I did not see whether it was a debit or
credit I will be honest there. But they also had
alternate hats, right, So on the mound and we're watching
a replay of it right now as part of the
coverage on FS one. And you've got the national leagues
where the brim is blue and the whole back is blue. Well,
they've got a version of it for sale where it's white, right,
(20:56):
so you can go and it's muted, and like, that
doesn't look terrible.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
That does look great, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
But like when you do this, it's like you got
your highlighter out and you want a little bit wild.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
It's like what people say, well, what the only words
you didn't underline in terms of getting ready for your
tests were uh.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
And and and the everything else here is you know
what was all important.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
There's only two circumstances in which these jerseys are acceptable, okay.
One is if you said, okay, here's the colors you
have to choose from to make a jersey cream and
an orange pink combination.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Anything else, No, you got to use those two colors, okay.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Or if you are a barnstorming softball team that travels
around the country with big names and the guys used
to play in the may whatever it is, hey, because
that's what these kind of look like.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That's a if you're a bar storming softball staurant.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Great, but I see Aaron Judge wearing this uniform and
I go, dude, make them take that off.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Just put a Yankee I mean Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yankee uniforms is as much as you want to say
about the Yankee uniforms. I mean, one of the most
classic jerseys in the history of sports. And then I
gotta see judging this crazy askud looks like, dude, did
you get traded to like a Marlin's minor league team? Like?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
What happened? What is going on? This can work to
your advantage. Smith, Now you get your dad one.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Of those Oh let's see you you know what? Okay, boy,
I can't I can't believe I'm gonna say no, no,
I can't wanna say this about my dad. But I'm
sure he's sleeping my dad. Why am I saying? Whispering
like like you could get you could be listening. My
dad likes to wear Okay, this is my this is
(22:34):
my dad every day. This is going this is my
dad day. This is my dad every day. First of all,

I wonder how long it will take because I got good.
Look the Mets All Star hat I'm wearing Tonight's the
Mets All Star. I usually buy the Aulcer hat every year,
and the Alstar had from last year is nice. It's
kind of like a muted green because it was in Seattle.
Great great hat, right, and I wear it a lot
(24:45):
because I love it. I had to wait after the
All Star Game and the hat goes from like fifty
five dollars to twenty five dollars. How long is it
going to take the jerseys to go from one hundred
and ninety four dollars to like eighty four?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Oh those would be a good will by the end
of the week with.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
A tag still of people I didn't even wear, leaving
the tags right on not wearing them.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Now here's my favorite, right, you know the the program
of Jersey Assurance. Oh yeah yeah, so if your guy
gets traded, right, he gets traded, you have that for
the All Star jersey's listed?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
No free Jersey Assurance.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Like me, like, if I realize it's stupid and I
want to return, that's a return policy.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
And it's like he played for the American League or
National League tonight.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Maybe it's like, hey, oh I got it and people
are making fun of me, so I need I need
to send this back because it's outside of the return window.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
No, so, like we have the limited player jersey, right,
that's the one ninety four. I see a listing for
a Corey seeger Cream twenty twenty four All Star Game
Elite Player jersey.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
It's four hundred twenty five dollars. Who's I mean, who's
buying that? Who's buying any of these? Really? I mean
I get the man, and then they have ones that
are a women's cut. I want the neck.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I want major league based because obviously they make the
changes in these jerseys. Look, they just want to sell money.
They want to make more money. I understand that. Get
in there, and first of all, I say two things. One,
how about you design something that people actually want. You
can't just put me You can't put anything out there.
Look at those socks you wears. Yeah, I mean you
can't just put anything out there, right, You can't. Like
(26:19):
it's like a bar saying, hey, guess what having happy
hour and everything's gonna be half price off. Yeah, but
your food stinks. Yeah, but it's half price, but it's stinks.
I'm not gonna come up. Yes, I don't want to
pay full price for food and stinks. I don't want
to pay half price for food that stinks.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
There's plenty of folks. If you're not gonna do it,
they'll walk down.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
You can't just throw stuff out. I mean, who's approving
these jersey? I mean they look terrible. Exactly his full
price for food. Secondly, no, come on, McDonald's food is great.
But but but but the biggest thing is this is
that I want the I want MLB to go. Yeah,
tell me how much money did you make off all
star jerseys? We made We made a good two three
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Can't we made more? Who's gonna wind up making more
money at the end?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
MLB off of the All Star jerseys or LeVar ball
off of sneakers. Who's gonna wind up making more money?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
I'm still waiting for those still. Story shipping is very slow.
They'll get to you, but we'll get to you. It's
funny you reminded me.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
I know, he was doing a rant in a stream
and he started talking and goes, oh, you know, South Bay,
there's this really great mediterranean buffet and it's like, it's
pretty cheap. And he starts really kind of togging up,
and then he goes, yeah, except the food wasn't very good,
but it was costivating.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
I'm like, wait, you built it off. And he said
the food wasn't fair.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
If I look, if I if I see a bar
that has that food stinks, but they have it at
half price, I'm still I'd still rather go to the
Costco food court and eat fred because.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
That's still really cheap.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Man. I'd rather go get a chicken bake or big
long hot dog. I get a hot dog and a
coke for two dollars.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
Man, that's great.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
And if I'm really hungry. I get two hot dogs.

four others they're gonna go. H that's six ninety nine. Please,
thank you very much. I'll have it. The chicken chicken
bake is really good, man, dude.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
Like the one they sell hot though, but the one
they sell you if you go out front to the
food court.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, it's like twice the size is the one that's
in the pack. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yah know it.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
It's pay You know what's not selling you? If you
show up with that jersey? I think everything you.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Just mentioned, sir, you're blinding everybody with that jersey. No
one can see everybody. Close your eyes, sir. Throw that
jersey in the garden. Now, twelve fifty is that guy
directing traffic? Why is everybody walking around him?
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Okay? What?
Speaker 7 (28:43):
What?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
What's okay?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
What would you be paying too much for if they
made the Costco hot dog five dollars or if you
bought that al All Star jersey for five dollars? What
are you overpaying for? Oh?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
At least at least you get full off the hot.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
That's see, that's true, right, I walk away fulfilled. Yeah,
but I'll get that jersey forever. That hot dog's not
gonna be with me long.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
But is that a good thing that you get the
jersey forever forever? Mike dog, he's going right on that
thing as soon as it he even take you.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
No, your dog would be blinded by that jersey. Oh
my dog, My dog can't say anymore what happened? He
looked at the American League All Star jersey and I'm sorry. Yeah,
I feel so bad. And your dogs walk around with
the glasses hot. Hopefully his eyesight will come back. But
he looked at those jerseys. Man, it was really tough
for him, just for that. I'm gonna go find little
glasses to put on touch.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
There is one al jersey that is cheaper than all
the rest, guys. I'm looking out the list right now.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
If you say what I think, you're gonna sadminem hit
you in the kidney. That's the white Sox one. I'm
gonna punch you in the ovary. The baby maker.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Time to find out one's trending right now in the
wide world is fors Kevin Wirrett has it all for usk?
Speaker 3 (29:52):
That money go? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
The big news that broke in the last hour is
the w NBA agreeing to an eleven year two point
two BI with a b dollar media rights agreement with
the same partners that the NBA has just agreed to
deals with Disney, NBC, and Amazon. But the report does
say that the WNBA has reserved the option to add
even more packages to that, and the expectation is he'll
(30:16):
add two more worth about sixty million dollars total on
top of the two point two billion, so sixty million
per year on top of the two point two billion
over the eleven years. And in comparison, the WNBA makes
sixty million total for all of its media deals combined
per season, so that's going to be a very large
increase for the revenue for that entire league. In Major
(30:39):
League Baseball, All Star Game tonight down in Texas, and
it's the American League for the tenth time in the
last eleven years, winning at five to three. Jaron Duran
with the go ahead two run home run, breaking a
three to three tie to give the al the win.
The National League got all of their runs from show
Aotani's four hundred foot blow last, and Paul schemes I
(31:02):
did get the start in the first Stinting retired the
side and order as he was just the fifth rookie
in Major League history to start an All Star Game. Elsewhere,
multiple outlets are reporting that the Broncos are extending Russell
Wilson Quinn looking for my note there, Quinn miners. They're
(31:26):
extending him four years, eighty million dollars with forty five
million of that guaranteed in Bears in Caleb Williams agreeing
to his rookie contract four years and it's for thirty
nine million with a fifth year team option, and Davante
Adams denying trade rumors, at least his agents are denying
trade rumors. Has been speculation that he might go to
(31:46):
rejoin Aaron Rodgers in New York, but his agents said
that the trade talk rumors are baseless in unfounded speculation,
and the forty nine ers not willing to trade Brandon
Iu ESPN saying that teams have a approached them after
he said he demanded a trade, but the team not
willing to part with him yet.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
So see how that will develop. Back to you guys,
all right, thank you very much. K Dub just real
quick on me on the Devanta Adams story. Right, obviously
the media seems to be trying to make this happen. Right,
You've had reports the last couple of days, dan Orlowski
saying this.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Is gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Boomeros size and said, this is gonna happen sometime before
the season. Do I think Devanta Adams will become a Jet?
Yea one hundred percent, But it's gonna be at the deadline.
The Raiders aren't going to go into this year saying
we're gonna hamstring ourselves by training away DeVante Adams. Now,
we're not gonna do that.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Kyle.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
The development If you say, Abe O'Connell can be a guy,
why would you take away a weapon that would at
least let you know one way or another.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I mean, you have eleven tight ends now and you
have and you have a pretty good white up in
Jacoby Mars. But okay, so they'll start the year, the
Raiders will stink and they'll say, okay, now we got
to move on. The Jets will be desperate. We need
somebody else for Aaron Rodgers because we realize it out
sid of Garrett Wilson, we still don't have anything at
wide receiver. So yeah, that's when it will happen, but
it'll be more towards the deadline than it will be
(33:07):
before this.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
I still like that you put the Jets in as desperate.
Cut and paste that what else have they been for
the last forty years? It's been forty years of desperation.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
You're stee in the desert for a long time.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen down. The Jason
Smith Show with Mike Harmon Coming up next, A big
left turn on the bigest story in sports last twenty
four hours.
Speaker 3 (33:28):
That's next Fox.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Big behind the scenes teaser for Stranger Things season five
coming out yesterday. To see that I did did because
we're gonna stop playing this song when season five comes out.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Very excited.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Sure, yeah, no, that was a deal, Tyser and I
struck that deal. When season presser comes out, we stop
with this song. Deer doesn't matter. Tyshert deletes the song
from the entire library work first, Oh that's true. Yeah,
his Kyle ripkenesque streak at four shows in a row
is now over.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Did it get that big? I mean he was your
last weekend? Or it is your all? Sure? Yeah? All right?
So alright so for five? Okay, so we five in
a row?
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
The biggest story the last twenty four hours around in
the All Star game again. Look, the two biggest stories
have been how bad the jerseys are and the Ingrid
address national anthem from last night. A Country music star
four time Grammy nominee put up a rendition that had
been getting absolutely ripped on social media everywhere. If you
(34:39):
heard it, you saw it, you said to yourself, what
is going on? Here's a little sample of Ingrid address
from last night?
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Oh say, can you see.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
By the times? Like what sup?
Speaker 8 (34:58):
Proudly by the trial like last gas laughing.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
This is the part they're looking at each other going
really really?
Speaker 8 (35:14):
The pairs fine?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Oh the rest but sweet?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
So watching this last night, I said to myself, boy,
is she okay?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Or is this a creative choice?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Because if it's a creative choice, all right, not a
great choice. But a creative choice.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Well, I mean it's like Fergie and the Chazzy Bluesy
whatever you wanted to call her.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Rendition or is is there something going on? We find
out today absolutely something going on. Ingrid Andres put a
message on social media. Guys, I gotta tell you I
was drunk.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
That's not me. I'm going to rehab immediately. That's not
who I am.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I apologize to Major League Baseball, it's fans, everybody else,
and I'm going to rehab.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
So this was a bit of a shocker of a statement.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
And look for a bad version of national anthem, someone
realizing I need help and I'm going to rehab.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Okay, it sucks.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
It's got to follow her for the rest of her
career because that's what happens when you have a bad
national anthem. Just ask Carl Lewis, right, just ask Roseanne.
Anybody else is than everything else? For God, remember that
rittnition of the national anthem? They did, So I give
her the nod on that. What people don't realize and
this is not just about about her, you know, Look,
obviously she made a bad decision and who knows where
(36:32):
she's at with what with her relationship with alcohol. But
I remember when we had Tiffany on our show, The Singer,
about ten years ago, and she was doing national anthems
and she was doing stuff in ballparks, and she said,
I can't tell you how hard of a song it
is to sing because you're in front of a huge crowd.
You're not seeing words in front of you. It's not
a song you wrote. You're not really hearing yourself to
(36:54):
be able to get feed to understand what you're sounding like.
And even though it's a song you have sung a
thousand times in your life, the pressure getting the words right,
hitting the right notes is immense. And you see the
way people screw it up from time to time that, yeah,
I can completely understand. It's not like we never get this.
We get a bad national anthem two or three times
(37:16):
a yere maybe not to this extent, but we get
it a few times a year. It's an extremely difficult
song to sing, and you gotta be on your a game.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
This is no way. Yeah, yeah, national.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Had to be just wake me up five minutes before
you need me. No, it's a really difficult song to do.
And you could see even here even though she professional
singer four time Grammy nominee. Right, she was Newcomer of
the Year in twenty twenty one. I didn't know a
lot about her, heard of her, but.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
Evidently she had a big hit with a song called
The Stranger. Sure We're in safe Harbor?
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Right, Yes, you could say the word stranger. Why why
do you not be able to say stranger?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I mean, Billy Joel had a whole album called The
Stranger at TJ. Clearly some stranger things happening with this
to bring it full.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Back alone, he wasn't part of the all star festivity, but.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
You saw what you saw what happened when Yeah, I'm
gonna go out there, I can do it. And I guarantee,
because if I went out there, even without drinking or
anything else, I guarantee they part where I would start singing,
I would go Did I sing that part already?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Did I sing?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Did I sing the rockets red gleaming? Did I did
I straight the bombs persting in air? Did I do
that lyric?
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Already? Did I say the lyric? Here?
Speaker 5 (38:26):
It was more the the performance talk about his performance?
And and that's the thing, right, I mean, because she
miss notes the entire time we talk about her performed
the auto tune is your friend and country music too?
Is that?
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Is that the the lesson I think out of all
this here.
Speaker 7 (38:44):
Frostburg Jason would have Grimace Officer, Big mac Hambloy, and
he'd have all the characters.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
What about that pirate? What was that pirates man?
Speaker 8 (38:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Dude, hundred percent. I would sing the national anthem with
all the McDonald land's characters.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
Absolutely, box of mcdonaldokies, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Okay, Hamburger's start us off one.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Started making that.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Little noise, it'd be better than what we heard last night.
She needs to get help and this ends up being
the thing that forced it into that space.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Good Otherwise you know you guys are buying it.
Speaker 7 (39:22):
Yeah, dude, A lot of people sing better when they're drunk.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
You had a day well? I do definitely karaoke with harmon.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Oh, and I guarantee you if I was, if I
would sing a song I know better than would sing
the National I.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Start singing Heaven and Hell when I'm inebriated. Boy, I
tell you that's you do it when you're not inebriated.
And I get that all even better.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
The no But I know there's a lot of things
she could have said to try to tamp it down.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
You have twenty four hours to think about it, to
go to rehab. That's a pretty big step if you're
not really committed to it.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
I got a feel she's like, hey, man, I just
went on National TV and I am garrass myself in
my career and I embarrassed baseball and everything else. Boy,
I need this is my look in the mirror moment.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
That's a lot. That's a long way to go to say, hey,
here's how I want to make up for the national an.
That's how you get your redemption if it just put
up a post saying.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I'm sorry I sucked, damn fuddes kind of care boy,
I really thought i'd hit those notes.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Well, what can you do? I'll do whatever. Hey, what
we got?
Speaker 5 (40:23):
I should have had that team microphone that they had
toys are wa All Star Game?
Speaker 3 (40:28):
I'm ready. I'll do that one. I'm ready.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
I'm ready to A bunch of minor league have already
reached out saying come on, get your redemption.

the MLB All Star Game coming up in a couple
of minutes. You know, big stuff going on tonight, but
big breaking news. Kevin Wyatt brought us to us about
a half hour or so ago. It is time for
(01:02):
everybody to change their tune, and by that I mean
the WNBA players and coaches. According to the Athletic the
WNBA has just struck their new media rights deal for
the next decade plus. Now when the numbers are gonna
seem all about we're talking about well, yes, the NBA
is going to have a seventy six billion dollars six
(01:22):
I mean seventy six billion dollars, so I understand. But
right now, the WNBA is making sixty million dollars a
year on their media rights deal. Sixty million dollars a year.
Sixty million, okay, sixty million, that's they're making currently. According
to The Athletic, the WNBA has just reached a media
(01:44):
rights deal for the next eleven years and two point
two billion dollars with a B. That's two hundred million
dollars a year compared to sixty million dollars a year,
which is a six three hundred.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Three hundred percent three hundred percent sixty one twenty.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Three three three forty three hundred and sixty one eighty twenty.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Three thirty three thirty three? Is it? Three thirty three?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Did I do the math right on that, mister math,
mister matth w math right. That is a three hundred
and thirty three percent increase over what it is currently
three thirty three. It is now time for coaches like
Cheryl Reeve for a WNBA players to stop and go,
(02:39):
you know what, thank you, Caitlin, thank you. We're done
with the stupid jealousy because wait, we talked. Now. You know,
after seeing how things have gone out the last few weeks,
that the controversy surrounding Caitlin Clark and to a smaller extent,
Angel Reese is not about anything other than, hey, we've
(03:00):
been around for a long time and now this girl
is gonna come into the league and now she's the
one that gets everything. No, it's jealousy over Caitlin Clark
because we've been here for song. I'm sorry, but that's
how sports goes, right. Yes, I'll show you how many
MLB stars from the eighties who are Hall of famers
(03:21):
that are going, hey, I'm lucky I invested well, or
I don't know where i'd be. I'm not making the
money these guys make nowadays. That's just how it goes
in sports, right, That's how it goes. And now they
should be thanking Caitlyn Clark before every game. Every team
should line up and shake her hand and go, hey,
thank you for giving us an over three hundred percent
(03:43):
increase on our media rights deal for everybody getting bleeping paid, right,
because all of this now up until now, Oh, Kaitlyn's
not that we've been here, but no, you're not getting
any of this without Caitlyn Clark. Okay, and let's let's
just say this right because people want to say Caitlyn
Angel Angel Reese is a really good player.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Right.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Anyway, she's a really good player. Now, the double double
streak has been a big thing, but you see some
of her double doubles and you see three or four
rebounds are on one play after three or four misshots.
She's a good player. She's a WNBA star. Just like
there's NFL stars and there's MLB stars as NBA stars,
then there's the super duper stars. Then there's a Lebron's
(04:22):
and the Mahomes and the and the judges and the otanis.
There's WNBA stars. There's Asia Wilson, right, there's Sabrina I Andescue,
There's Breonna Stewart, there's Kelsey Plumb, there's Angel Reese coming in,
and there's Caitlin Clark that just has that extra bit
that nobody has ever had.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
That's how it goes.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
If Caitlin Clark doesn't come into the If everybody else
comes into the draft this year and not Caitlin Clark,
is this happening, of course not Angel Reese is not
bringing this to the WNBA. No one's going crazy, going, boy, well,
I can't wait to see her rebound. Well, that's great,
she rebounds great. She's a great personality, she's a great,
complimentary player, and coming in, hey, why did she go
(05:03):
number seven? Probably should have gone number two. Overall, her
rivalry with Caitlin Clark is great. And certainly she does
enough and there's enough pushing Angel Reese to be a
great player.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
And you got it.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Now you got coaches saying maybe Angel Reese is the
rookie of the year. Okay, I get that. And she's
a good player, she's not Caitlin Clark. If Caitlyn Clark
comes into the league this year and nobody else does,
is a WNBA getting this media rights deal? Of course
they are. Caitlin Clark is bringing this league a three
hundred and thirty three percent increase in media rights deal.
They're going from sixty million dollars a year to two
(05:34):
hundred million dollars a year because of one player, because
of Caitlin Clark, and I said it in the beginning
that this is going when she comes into the league.
It's the Magic and Larry effect. And it's not she's
She's Larry and angel Reese is Magic. No, she's Magic
and Larry. So all this magic Larry stuff you're hearing
we talked about this three months ago. So this is
something we should really be making money off of because
(05:55):
we are the ones that said she's magic and Larry
combined coming into the WNBA. I remember Gottlieb laughed when
I said that. He goes, come on, Jason, really, I said, yeah,
she'd have a magic Larry type effect. He goes. I
remember him saying, I love you man, but come on,
I love you man, but come on, dude, you can
tweet it out our take.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Really, I mean, we should make money off of that
because that was that was our thing. She's both of
those players.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
She just is.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
She has the Jois de vive, she has the Qube rating,
She's got the it factor that nobody else has. Are
more people going to games, yeah, more people going to
sky games because Angelice is popularly, Yeah, more people now
going to Vegas games because hey, Kelsey Plumb is more popular.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Age Wilson has been a star. She's getting the shoot
like all of those things.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Yeah, you balance signed a big deal with WNBN today, right.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
Cameron Brink has been in a bunch of those ads,
but it's been a big push.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Right.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
It might have all been jes stating, but Caitlin Clark's
the one that made it pop.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Right, because you had stars, no question about.
Speaker 5 (06:52):
It, go all the way down, i'd esq and Jiassi
even had forty two whatever. All of these stars have
been in place. But you just look at the attendance.
You look at what happens when the Fever come to town.
You're always having to look and see is there a
concert or some other event at a larger arena in
(07:14):
the city that we can move this event to. And
they're selling twenty thousand tickets time and again. And Angel
Reese is the perfect foil, the perfect whatever you know,
arch Nemesis in this and she plays it up well,
and yes, refinement of her game is going to be
a thing. But in the interim, yeah, you need to
have a good villain. And again, depending on which side
(07:37):
of the coin you are, because you got a lot
of folks that are angel Rees fans, so now there's
hate watching it.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Caitlyn. No, look happen. I get it.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
The rivalries you're talking about rivalries on the court. I
completely understand that. But let's understand, but let's really realize. Okay,
that's all fun and all, but you're talking about who's
responsible for bis upon billions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's Caitlyn Clark.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
No, but but I'm saying, like it it all goes
in drags, like she's the one pulling it along. So
whatever percentage you want to ascribe to ascribe to it.
But people are paying attention to these other games like
they hadn't before, even when she's not involved like what
she is. I mean, we see the ratings right time
and again, which is why every once in a while
when there's that Wednesday afternoon game, I say, what the
(08:20):
hell are we doing. We're not drawing it, although I
know it's good for the campers and everybody that's showing
up at that point.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
But what you have is an effect.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
And while there's been a lot of complaints about you know,
people not understanding back and forth of you know, do
you watch just highlights and whatever else, I mean, people
get in their fights and find their corners. Same story
that I've been all along. We talked magic and bird effect.
We've also talked about the Hey party. Let everybody in
(08:52):
explain the game. If you need to talk to me
like I'm a five year old, but I'm at your party.
Let's have fun with it and continue to try to
see if we can't grow it.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
So next year I'll be six. Right, but your parents
won't give you as much money for the lemonade stand.
I mean, look, look, because I'll be honest with you
right now. Look you and I roughly say age, I'm
a couple of years older than you are. If someone
can and look, I like what we're doing where we're
at here Fox Sports Radio. It's awesome. If somebody came in,
(09:22):
twenty two year old wonder Kin radio guy coming in
like all of a sudden, Hey, can't miss prospects.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Right, this kid's gonna be great.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Right, he's been doing radio since he's six years old,
and look where he is now. He's incredibly intelligent, he's
got whatever I mean. Look, I'm talking about something that
doesn't exist, but let's just say it happened, and a
twenty two year old shows up and comes to Fox
Sports Radio, and all of a sudden, it's hey, we
got to give this guy a prime time Joey and
he goes on in the morning's made whatever it is.
(09:49):
Let's just like I said. And because of this Fox
Sports rate say hey, guess what, guys, our advertising is
now being sold here and here, and guess what this means.
Everybody on the station.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Can make more money.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You guys are all gonna make more money because of
this twenty two year old kid. Okay, am I gonna
sit here and say, we're we're we're a network. Okay,
We're about all of us. It's not just about one.
It's not just about this twenty two year old kid
who could come in here and could do better impressions
than I can, which he can't be funnier than I am,
which he's not. But let's you it's oh no, no,
(10:22):
it's about all of It's about all of us. No,
I would say, hey, hey kid, Hey, thanks man. I've
been busting my ass for a long time and I'm happy.
I'm happy making more money. Harmon's happen making more money.
You know how much memorabilia he's gonna spend time buying. Now,
every day he spends like ninety eight percent of his
day buying memorabilia. Now he's gonna spend the entire day
(10:44):
and way more money on memorabilia. Frostburg is gonna come
in with real life stuff from sho Heyo Tani's locker
in Chavez Ravine every single day because of this.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
We're all men. It's understand that you're doing better and
this this jealousy of what's going Oh, we've been here,
we've been a beer. How is this affecting your life?
Speaker 5 (11:04):
Well, what I would say to this, to use your
radio example, right, it's always the what about me?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Where's my love? Right?
Speaker 5 (11:14):
Dollars and cents, time slots, all of that. That's that's
the fight in the business and anybody else. You know,
you're fighting for territories as a sales rep or where
you're driving, or or whatever shift you have to work, right,
second or third shift, whatever. Everybody's got their thing in
their workplace. There's naturally gonna be a minute about what
about me? And then the check's gonna clear. You go, oh,
(11:36):
that's good for the company and it's good for me,
And nothing changed, Nobody took anything away from you.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And no using anything, using anything like.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
In the worst case scenario, going back to the w NBA,
the worst case scenario is people are paying attention to
your play and your coaching that maybe didn't before. Now
you can say they're ill in formed about the history
and whatever else, but you're getting the attention that you
did in before.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Isn't that Ultimately.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
It's what you want, notable, but you wanted it because
of what you did. You didn't want it because of
someone that you don't feed. Ay, they haven't put in
the work. I have no I'm pretty sure Katelyn Clark's
been busting her ass her whole life. I'm sorry she's
better than any of you when they came into the league.
I'm sorry she's more popular than any.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Of you, but she is right.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
It's sometimes the fight that that that that the top
one percent have because they're not the top one tenth
of one percent is just just baffles me. It just
about like, look at look at the PGA Tour. When
Tiger showed up on the PGA Tour, right, these guys
were smart. Was there backlash?
Speaker 3 (12:44):
Was there? I hate Tiger Woods? Was there no? Because
very quickly it.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Was oh wait a minute, He's not gonna win every tournament.
And wait, after a year or so, the purse for
this this event was like three point four million. Now
it's five point seven million. Now, wait a minute, I
can I can make a lot more money. Everybody understood
very quickly. They understood very quickly. Wait a minute, this
(13:07):
is okay. Tiger's helping all of us now, and and
that's where it should and that's where I hope it
gets to now because people have to understand this is
because of one person, and it's she's transcendent, and because
it's not you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not you,
but this helps you.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Off of the TV.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Off of this deal, they get half, right, the CBA
is that's half to the Blazers. She's not getting all
this money if this was Hey, of this, of this
two point two billion dollars, I'm sorry, we're giving Caitlin
two billion of it.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
I'm sorry, you're not getting it. No, you're all getting
She's not getting any extra cut of this money. Hey,
whatever should be whatever.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
She's getting paid right now. Overall with sponsors in the league,
it ain't enough. It is not enough. Sounds like it
is not enough.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Certain guy from a city that starts with see ends
and on and in the middle.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I mean it can't go.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I mean, whatever she's getting paid, it's not enough, Absolutely
not enough. She should be getting paid way more. I mean, real,
look what Look at what she's done by herself. It's
not this is not that. Now it's gone past.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Hey, charter flights for everybody.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
That's great, But grumble grumble, grumble, grumble, grumble, grumbled, grumble, grumble.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
Oh yeah, two point two billion dollars. Grumble grumb just just.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Sneak in a hamstru again. Big stuff happening even this
late at night. Congratulations the WNO. How much do you
think Alex Sar paid the WRE.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Hey, I was over fifteen tonight? Can you uh do? Greg? Thanks?
I appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Uh so on the night that Alex Sar does go
over fifteen from the Florida NBA game. Coming up next,
we have not one, but two big stories coming out
of the MLB All Star Game. One involves the biggest
controversy the last twenty four hours. That's next right here,
Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven

Speaker 6 (15:07):
Hey, gang, this is Jay Glazer, host of Unbreakable, a
mental wealth podcast, and every week we will have on

David Spade, got Fiemi, and also those who can help
us in between the ears, anyone from a therapist to someone.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Like Ed Milett or John Gordon.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
We've all been through some sort of adversity to get
to the top.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
We've all used different tools.
Speaker 6 (15:33):
Listen to Unbreakable with Jay Glazer and Mental Wealth podcast
on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get podcasts.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon Livethetirack dot Com studios. The American League
are your All Star Game winners, overcoming the National League
and those horrendous uniforms to win five three, the tenth
All Star win in the last eleven games. And in
(16:04):
the next few minutes, we're gonna get to the two
biggest stories of the last two days with MLB All
Stars Okay and number one. The biggest story tonight, and
again it tells you about the game itself. Yeah, Shoho
tani three run Homer, but that got overcome. He didn't
win the MVP. Jaron Duran wins. He it's the tie
breaking two run Homer. And the overwhelming story has easily
(16:27):
been about how bad the All Star.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Game jerseys are? No, I were good?
Speaker 1 (16:31):
How bad were they? This is how bad the All
Star Game jerseys are. There's topics that we do every
single night on the show, and it could be a
topic where, boy, something is almost universally loved or universally hated,
and you're still gonna find somebody who wants attention on
(16:52):
TV or the radio and is gonna take the smallest,
most unpopular portion of that and flip it and try
to make it sound legitimate. Right, You get that, You
get the hot takers that go, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna
really sound ridiculous on this, but I'm gonna come out
and say I like this.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
There'll be one, right, But here's the thing.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
But here's the thing that's for almost any other story,
that's almost any other story, but for this story, you
find me the guy or girl anybody who's gonna come
out in the next twenty four hours tomorrow on TV,
on the radio, and it's gonna say I like the
All Star jerseys. I mean there's limits. There's limits, man,
(17:33):
nobody's gonna come out and say and be able to
back it up with anything more than just well, I
want to I want to be different. I want to
stand out. I want to say something people, because look,
being real is always the best thing you do on
the radio. You want people to listen to you and
watch you on TV because hey, this is kind of
who you are. I understand we're in an error now
where people want to make some or what do you
(17:54):
want to bout it? But we're in the eraror where
people want to make stuff up and talk. But who
is going to be able to stand up and say
I love those jersey. I'd rather shoot oh for fifteen
than wear one of those jerseys.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Ooh okay, okay, oh for fifteen?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Like like Alex sar tonight or Frostburg, you have to
wear the American League jersey every day for a month.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
Do you know me? Every day for a month. I
would never put it on every day, every every day
for a week, a week a week, not even for
a minute.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Okay, one hundred dollars a day. That's a lot for
every day that you wear that jersey all day. When
you get up in the morning, you put that jersey on,
you go to bed at night, you take that jersey off.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
One hundred dollars a day, No chance, I'll tell the
family they're not eating.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
We're going to McDonald's again. Oh and it's gotta be
the five dollar deals now, the new ones I got,
not not those fancy ass stuff.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Now.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
I brought my own nice in the ballpit. Nobody swimming
in the ball nobody.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
I will say that if you are talking about who
had the better jersey, who wore it best?
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The National League just because the sky blue in the
black is a much better combination than bright pink and
orange and cream like that's a horrible color like that,
like the they.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Not come out to princess cream. The National League.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
The National League jerseys look like the Dodgers jerseys when
you compare them to the American League.
Speaker 3 (19:29):
I mean, come on, man.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
American League ery jerseys are the only ones worst in
the Padre City Connects.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Are they worse? Though?
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah, dude, look at look at there, City Connects. Man,
they're dude. The Padre City Connects looked like a little
kid just picked, just took it to everything I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna do with a different color magic marker. I
did the blue one. Now I'm gonna do the pink one.
Now I'm gonna do the future one. Now I'm gonna
do at the same time.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
No, that's good, right, you put it in.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
It used to have the thing to draw lines like
your teacher would do with choking.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Oh yeah, yeah, when we go on the board, when you.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Had to practice your cursive, you know, on the you know,
full vertical wall.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
I mean I look at Aaron Judge in this jersey,
and I go, how do you make the guy wear that?
Speaker 3 (20:17):
How do you make it? Where's the thing?
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Right? Is that we were looking online just to kind
of for giggles as to what the pricing was on
this stuff. A replica of these jerseys is one hundred
and ninety four dollars plus tax. Okay, so we're into
two hundred.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Is that what they pay you?
Speaker 5 (20:32):
I did not see whether it was a debit or
credit I will be honest there. But they also had
alternate hats, right, So on the mound and we're watching
a replay of it right now as part of the
coverage on FS one. And you've got the national leagues
where the brim is blue and the whole back is blue. Well,
they've got a version of it for sale where it's white, right,
(20:56):
so you can go and it's muted, and like, that
doesn't look terrible.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
That does look great, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 5 (21:01):
But like when you do this, it's like you got
your highlighter out and you want a little bit wild.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
It's like what people say, well, what the only words
you didn't underline in terms of getting ready for your
tests were uh.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
And and and the everything else here is you know
what was all important.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
There's only two circumstances in which these jerseys are acceptable, okay.
One is if you said, okay, here's the colors you
have to choose from to make a jersey cream and
an orange pink combination.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Anything else, No, you got to use those two colors, okay.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Or if you are a barnstorming softball team that travels
around the country with big names and the guys used
to play in the may whatever it is, hey, because
that's what these kind of look like.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
That's a if you're a bar storming softball staurant.
Speaker 1 (21:49):
Great, but I see Aaron Judge wearing this uniform and
I go, dude, make them take that off.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Just put a Yankee I mean Aaron Judge.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Yankee uniforms is as much as you want to say
about the Yankee uniforms. I mean, one of the most
classic jerseys in the history of sports. And then I
gotta see judging this crazy askud looks like, dude, did
you get traded to like a Marlin's minor league team? Like?
Speaker 3 (22:08):
What happened? What is going on? This can work to
your advantage. Smith, Now you get your dad one.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Of those Oh let's see you you know what? Okay, boy,
I can't I can't believe I'm gonna say no, no,
I can't wanna say this about my dad. But I'm
sure he's sleeping my dad. Why am I saying? Whispering
like like you could get you could be listening. My

Speaker 3 (23:33):
But he's got a couple of different ones. He got
a couple of different ones.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
But the shirts he wears, the neon colors that my
dad likes to wear. I don't know what happened. What
happened all of a sudden, Like he's got he's got.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Yellow, got blue, he's got now orange.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
I get once in a while, we're watching Syracuse everything.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
It's like it's like like like my dad, like, hey,
when I'm walking across the street, I want people to
make sure they can see me. I'm not going to
be a statistic, you know, I'm gonna I want to
make sure this ye is. But my dad left, so
if I got him the errand he would love that.
He wears the most Neon stuff and I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
So now when they go on sale, we know what
you gotta get your dad. Merry Christmas? Dad? Oh boy?
Speaker 1 (24:23):
What'd you pay for this? Like six bucks? I waited
till October. People aren't buying this Thing's gotta be free tomorrow.
I wonder how long it will take because I got good.
Look the Mets All Star hat I'm wearing Tonight's the
Mets All Star. I usually buy the Aulcer hat every year,
and the Alstar had from last year is nice. It's
kind of like a muted green because it was in Seattle.
Great great hat, right, and I wear it a lot
(24:45):
because I love it. I had to wait after the
All Star Game and the hat goes from like fifty
five dollars to twenty five dollars. How long is it
going to take the jerseys to go from one hundred
and ninety four dollars to like eighty four?
Speaker 3 (24:56):
Oh those would be a good will by the end
of the week with.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
A tag still of people I didn't even wear, leaving
the tags right on not wearing them.
Speaker 5 (25:04):
Now here's my favorite, right, you know the the program
of Jersey Assurance. Oh yeah yeah, so if your guy
gets traded, right, he gets traded, you have that for
the All Star jersey's listed?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
No free Jersey Assurance.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Like me, like, if I realize it's stupid and I
want to return, that's a return policy.
Speaker 5 (25:22):
And it's like he played for the American League or
National League tonight.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
Maybe it's like, hey, oh I got it and people
are making fun of me, so I need I need
to send this back because it's outside of the return window.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
No, so, like we have the limited player jersey, right,
that's the one ninety four. I see a listing for
a Corey seeger Cream twenty twenty four All Star Game
Elite Player jersey.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
It's four hundred twenty five dollars. Who's I mean, who's
buying that? Who's buying any of these? Really? I mean
I get the man, and then they have ones that
are a women's cut. I want the neck.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I want major league based because obviously they make the
changes in these jerseys. Look, they just want to sell money.
They want to make more money. I understand that. Get
in there, and first of all, I say two things. One,
how about you design something that people actually want. You
can't just put me You can't put anything out there.
Look at those socks you wears. Yeah, I mean you
can't just put anything out there, right, You can't. Like
(26:19):
it's like a bar saying, hey, guess what having happy

the food wasn't fair.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
If I look, if I if I see a bar

half price, I'm still I'd still rather go to the
Costco food court and eat fred because.
Speaker 3 (27:46):

long hot dog. I get a hot dog and a

Speaker 7 (28:22):
It's pay You know what's not selling you? If you

Okay? What?
Speaker 7 (28:43):
What?
Speaker 3 (28:44):
What's okay?
Speaker 1 (28:45):
What would you be paying too much for if they
made the Costco hot dog five dollars or if you
bought that al All Star jersey for five dollars? What
are you overpaying for? Oh?
Speaker 3 (28:53):
At least at least you get full off the hot.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
That's see, that's true, right, I walk away fulfilled. Yeah,
but I'll get that jersey forever. That hot dog's not
gonna be with me long.

But is that a good thing that you get the
jersey forever forever? Mike dog, he's going right on that
thing as soon as it he even take you.
Speaker 1 (29:10):

looked at the American League All Star jersey and I'm sorry. Yeah,
I feel so bad. And your dogs walk around with
the glasses hot. Hopefully his eyesight will come back. But
he looked at those jerseys. Man, it was really tough
for him, just for that. I'm gonna go find little
glasses to put on touch.
Speaker 7 (29:28):
There is one al jersey that is cheaper than all
the rest, guys. I'm looking out the list right now.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
If you say what I think, you're gonna sadminem hit
you in the kidney. That's the white Sox one. I'm
gonna punch you in the ovary. The baby maker.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Time to find out one's trending right now in the
wide world is fors Kevin Wirrett has it all for usk?
Speaker 3 (29:52):
That money go? Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
The big news that broke in the last hour is
the w NBA agreeing to an eleven year two point
two BI with a b dollar media rights agreement with
the same partners that the NBA has just agreed to
deals with Disney, NBC, and Amazon. But the report does
say that the WNBA has reserved the option to add
even more packages to that, and the expectation is he'll
(30:16):
add two more worth about sixty million dollars total on
top of the two point two billion, so sixty million
per year on top of the two point two billion
over the eleven years. And in comparison, the WNBA makes
sixty million total for all of its media deals combined
per season, so that's going to be a very large
increase for the revenue for that entire league. In Major
(30:39):
League Baseball, All Star Game tonight down in Texas, and
it's the American League for the tenth time in the
last eleven years, winning at five to three. Jaron Duran
with the go ahead two run home run, breaking a
three to three tie to give the al the win.
The National League got all of their runs from show
Aotani's four hundred foot blow last, and Paul schemes I
(31:02):
did get the start in the first Stinting retired the
side and order as he was just the fifth rookie
in Major League history to start an All Star Game. Elsewhere,
multiple outlets are reporting that the Broncos are extending Russell
Wilson Quinn looking for my note there, Quinn miners. They're
(31:26):
extending him four years, eighty million dollars with forty five
million of that guaranteed in Bears in Caleb Williams agreeing
to his rookie contract four years and it's for thirty
nine million with a fifth year team option, and Davante
Adams denying trade rumors, at least his agents are denying
trade rumors. Has been speculation that he might go to
(31:46):
rejoin Aaron Rodgers in New York, but his agents said
that the trade talk rumors are baseless in unfounded speculation,
and the forty nine ers not willing to trade Brandon
Iu ESPN saying that teams have a approached them after
he said he demanded a trade, but the team not
willing to part with him yet.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
So see how that will develop. Back to you guys,
all right, thank you very much. K Dub just real
quick on me on the Devanta Adams story. Right, obviously
the media seems to be trying to make this happen. Right,
You've had reports the last couple of days, dan Orlowski
saying this.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Is gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Boomeros size and said, this is gonna happen sometime before
the season. Do I think Devanta Adams will become a Jet?
Yea one hundred percent, But it's gonna be at the deadline.
The Raiders aren't going to go into this year saying
we're gonna hamstring ourselves by training away DeVante Adams. Now,
we're not gonna do that.
Speaker 7 (32:36):
Kyle.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
The development If you say, Abe O'Connell can be a guy,
why would you take away a weapon that would at
least let you know one way or another.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I mean, you have eleven tight ends now and you
have and you have a pretty good white up in
Jacoby Mars. But okay, so they'll start the year, the
Raiders will stink and they'll say, okay, now we got
to move on. The Jets will be desperate. We need
somebody else for Aaron Rodgers because we realize it out
sid of Garrett Wilson, we still don't have anything at
wide receiver. So yeah, that's when it will happen, but
it'll be more towards the deadline than it will be
(33:07):
before this.
Speaker 5 (33:07):
I still like that you put the Jets in as desperate.
Cut and paste that what else have they been for
the last forty years? It's been forty years of desperation.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
You're stee in the desert for a long time.

we're gonna stop playing this song when season five comes out.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
Very excited.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Sure, yeah, no, that was a deal, Tyser and I
struck that deal. When season presser comes out, we stop
with this song. Deer doesn't matter. Tyshert deletes the song
from the entire library work first, Oh that's true. Yeah,
his Kyle ripkenesque streak at four shows in a row

So alright so for five? Okay, so we five in
a row?
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (34:16):
The biggest story the last twenty four hours around in
the All Star game again. Look, the two biggest stories
have been how bad the jerseys are and the Ingrid
address national anthem from last night. A Country music star
four time Grammy nominee put up a rendition that had
been getting absolutely ripped on social media everywhere. If you
(34:39):
heard it, you saw it, you said to yourself, what
is going on? Here's a little sample of Ingrid address
from last night?
Speaker 5 (34:46):
Oh say, can you see.
Speaker 3 (34:52):
By the times? Like what sup?
Speaker 8 (34:58):
Proudly by the trial like last gas laughing.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
This is the part they're looking at each other going
really really?
Speaker 8 (35:14):
The pairs fine?
Speaker 3 (35:19):
Oh the rest but sweet?
Speaker 1 (35:24):
So watching this last night, I said to myself, boy,
is she okay?
Speaker 3 (35:29):
Or is this a creative choice?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
Because if it's a creative choice, all right, not a
great choice. But a creative choice.
Speaker 5 (35:34):
Well, I mean it's like Fergie and the Chazzy Bluesy
whatever you wanted to call her.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Rendition or is is there something going on? We find
out today absolutely something going on. Ingrid Andres put a
message on social media. Guys, I gotta tell you I
was drunk.
Speaker 3 (35:51):
That's not me. I'm going to rehab immediately. That's not
who I am.
Speaker 1 (35:56):
I apologize to Major League Baseball, it's fans, everybody else,
and I'm going to rehab.
Speaker 3 (36:01):
So this was a bit of a shocker of a statement.
Speaker 1 (36:04):
And look for a bad version of national anthem, someone
realizing I need help and I'm going to rehab.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Okay, it sucks.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
It's got to follow her for the rest of her
career because that's what happens when you have a bad
national anthem. Just ask Carl Lewis, right, just ask Roseanne.
Anybody else is than everything else? For God, remember that
rittnition of the national anthem? They did, So I give
her the nod on that. What people don't realize and
this is not just about about her, you know, Look,
obviously she made a bad decision and who knows where
(36:32):
she's at with what with her relationship with alcohol. But
I remember when we had Tiffany on our show, The Singer,
about ten years ago, and she was doing national anthems
and she was doing stuff in ballparks, and she said,
I can't tell you how hard of a song it
is to sing because you're in front of a huge crowd.
You're not seeing words in front of you. It's not
a song you wrote. You're not really hearing yourself to
(36:54):
be able to get feed to understand what you're sounding like.
And even though it's a song you have sung a
thousand times in your life, the pressure getting the words right,
hitting the right notes is immense. And you see the
way people screw it up from time to time that, yeah,
I can completely understand. It's not like we never get this.
We get a bad national anthem two or three times
(37:16):
a yere maybe not to this extent, but we get
it a few times a year. It's an extremely difficult
song to sing, and you gotta be on your a game.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
This is no way. Yeah, yeah, national.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Had to be just wake me up five minutes before
you need me. No, it's a really difficult song to do.
And you could see even here even though she professional
singer four time Grammy nominee. Right, she was Newcomer of
the Year in twenty twenty one. I didn't know a
lot about her, heard of her, but.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
Evidently she had a big hit with a song called
The Stranger. Sure We're in safe Harbor?
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Right, Yes, you could say the word stranger. Why why
do you not be able to say stranger?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I mean, Billy Joel had a whole album called The
Stranger at TJ. Clearly some stranger things happening with this
to bring it full.
Speaker 5 (37:59):
Back alone, he wasn't part of the all star festivity, but.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
You saw what you saw what happened when Yeah, I'm
gonna go out there, I can do it. And I guarantee,
because if I went out there, even without drinking or
anything else, I guarantee they part where I would start singing,
I would go Did I sing that part already?
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Did I sing?
Speaker 1 (38:16):
Did I sing the rockets red gleaming? Did I did
I straight the bombs persting in air? Did I do
that lyric?
Speaker 3 (38:23):
Already? Did I say the lyric? Here?
Speaker 5 (38:26):
It was more the the performance talk about his performance?
And and that's the thing, right, I mean, because she
miss notes the entire time we talk about her performed
the auto tune is your friend and country music too?
Is that?
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Is that the the lesson I think out of all
this here.
Speaker 7 (38:44):
Frostburg Jason would have Grimace Officer, Big mac Hambloy, and
he'd have all the characters.
Speaker 3 (38:49):
What about that pirate? What was that pirates man?
Speaker 8 (38:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Dude, hundred percent. I would sing the national anthem with
all the McDonald land's characters.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (38:55):
Absolutely, box of mcdonaldokies, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Okay, Hamburger's start us off one.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Started making that.
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Little noise, it'd be better than what we heard last night.
She needs to get help and this ends up being
the thing that forced it into that space.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
Good Otherwise you know you guys are buying it.
Speaker 7 (39:22):
Yeah, dude, A lot of people sing better when they're drunk.
Speaker 3 (39:27):
You had a day well? I do definitely karaoke with harmon.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Oh, and I guarantee you if I was, if I
would sing a song I know better than would sing
the National I.
Speaker 3 (39:36):
Start singing Heaven and Hell when I'm inebriated. Boy, I
tell you that's you do it when you're not inebriated.
And I get that all even better.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
The no But I know there's a lot of things
she could have said to try to tamp it down.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
You have twenty four hours to think about it, to
go to rehab. That's a pretty big step if you're
not really committed to it.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
I got a feel she's like, hey, man, I just
went on National TV and I am garrass myself in
my career and I embarrassed baseball and everything else. Boy,
I need this is my look in the mirror moment.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
That's a lot. That's a long way to go to say, hey,
here's how I want to make up for the national an.
That's how you get your redemption if it just put
up a post saying.
Speaker 1 (40:15):
I'm sorry I sucked, damn fuddes kind of care boy,
I really thought i'd hit those notes.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Well, what can you do? I'll do whatever. Hey, what
we got?
Speaker 5 (40:23):
I should have had that team microphone that they had
toys are wa All Star Game?
Speaker 3 (40:28):
I'm ready. I'll do that one. I'm ready.
Speaker 5 (40:30):
I'm ready to A bunch of minor league have already
reached out saying come on, get your redemption.
