we go, and we get there early, and so we
get a chance to sit in the outfield and eat,
and I'm like, okay, this actually turned out to turn
off fine. He and I got to spend a lot
of time together, hang out and talk and as I said,
sitting at the table we were at, like it's just
in a dining area. Other people came and sat with us.
Hey can we use these two chairs? No, that's fine.
(01:55):
So over the course of the hour that we got
to sit there because what wasn't anything else because the.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Game you started doing interviews of random fans or what.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
People came and sat and they were you know, there's
the first guy, a Dodger fan came and sat with us,
and turns out he's from uh, not too far from
where where I live as Oh that's kind of cool.
Yeah I live here. Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We had a Mets husband and wife, and then a
Dodger's husband and wife came and said, did you mind
if we sit? Yeah, there's roof for you guys right here,
right here. So they come and sit and we're talking
with them, and they were like, he's telling me all
we came in from Palm Springs and he said, you know,
I'm a big Dodgers fan. I used to live here
and moved out. It was really cool. And so he comes,
he sits and he's all dressed up and his wife
(02:35):
is all dressed up in Dodgers gear, and she goes, okay,
so let me ask a question. And we're like okay,
and she goes, so if the Dodgers, if we win today,
we go to the World Series. And I look at
the guy and he just he just kind of rolls
his eyes and I go, what do I want to
do here? And I just go I turn, I go, yes, yes, yes,
(02:55):
when today you go to where you play the Yankees
and if you beat them, you're gonna play the audience
what we play. I said, yes, that's how the World
Series goes, you play all the teams are in the playoffs,
you go all the way around, you went today, you
won the first too, you gotta play the Yankees, and
she goes, that doesn't sound right, as if they won
game two, if they go to the World See, that
(03:18):
doesn't sound right. That doesn't that doesn't.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Sound right, Spiky says, husband might have been kicking her
foot under the table.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Here.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Kind of fun, Missus Thompson, and think he's talking to you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So that was kind of fun, fun fun with fans.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Look, playoffs bring out all sorts of folks that it's
kind of like, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Holidays at church, right, yeah, here Sunday. Hey, look you
live in the area.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Yeah, I live across the street. Like never seen you
here before. That's Easter or it's Christmas Eve, and here
we are Cress.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And and you know what's crazy tonight? Think of people
who are there. So when I get to the game, they, uh,
Jason Bateman and Will Arnett read the Dodger starting line
up to everybody. I was like, oh, there's money in the
banana stand. And so I'm like, oh, okay, that's funny,
you know rest development because I was that's one of
my favorite shows of all time. Like, oh, okay, great.
So they read they read the uh, they read the
(04:15):
starting lineups, and they both say, Vince Scully is this
time for Dodger baseball line Everything's great? So they oh great,
and then I look up and I go they were
on the Manning Cast tonight for the football game. Like
it's like, we're together all day, you were at the
game together. I came in to do to do the
show with you. They decide we're gonna go on the
Manning Cast. I'm like, what the hell man, It's like
they're doing the same things today.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
There was a random report that Arnette was booked and
he was like on the the rundown list that they
put out. I was like, hey, later on on the
menicanp and then Bateman found out he didn't know he
was gonna be on, Like what the hell, man, I
want on too, because they have their podcast and building
their own podcast network and whatever else. So yeah, Bateman
just said, well I'm crashing that.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, what do you come well here? Yeah? No, I
mean it was it was. It was really cool. I'm like, okay,
I feel like they're following me. He should have had
him called the game like he was Pepper.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
They The funny thing is like they just like you
could tell us one of those things. They're like, hey,
you guys want to read the starting lineup because they're
just gonna say in polo shirts. And then they're hey, okay,
here's and they're reading right off the piece of paper
in front of them. So it's not like it was, Hey,
we got a special thing going on here.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
It's not Tom Cruise. I'm taking the torch from France
and bringing it to Hollywood. Hey, you guys want to
come up here and read something?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Sure, okay, yeah, I'll do it for you. Do you
want me to do the Lego Batman voice? Like, what
do you want me to do? I'll do it really
down here Batman. Uh So again, pretty interesting. But let's
talk about the Jets. Uh the wow, that was all
the Mets toots come up. We've got more Mets coming up.
But the Jets lose tonight to the Bills twenty three
(05:49):
to twenty. We talked about how embarrassing of a loss
this is. They missed two field goals in the second half,
one from thirty two yards. They have a play that
looks like it's gonna be a forty yard game. Instead,
the ball is dropped. There's too many penalties on both
teams that made the game unwatchable. This was tough. But
there's losing, and then there's really losing because during the
(06:11):
manning cast, Bill Belichick was on Who again, Bill Belichick?
Who has done nothing but showed disdain for the media
for twenty five years, And now suddenly he's laughing with
McAfee and Peyton and Elion. Suddenly, Yeah, I'm a really
fun guy. You know. It's a little bit. It's tough
to watch, to be fair, a lot of guys have
done that. Yeah, to watch.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Kevin Garnett was not a big media fan when he
was a player. He loved doing commercials, but he had
loved the media. He got a podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, but he was. But he's a player and and
but Belichick is someone who lives with the media and
deals with them on a consistent basis every week. Because
the head coach always talks, right, always has to talk,
always has to have a press conference. He just treats
with this day. And now he's laughing, hanging out, making jokes,
and he goes on the show tonight. He goes on
the Manning cast tonight and he just lights the Jets
(06:59):
on five. I remember he was the head coach of
the Jets for a day when the Jets hired him
in two thousand. He didn't want to work for Woody
Johnson because he hates Woody Johnson. Something he's never talked about. Why.
I'm like, Woody Johnson owned the team for a couple
of years, how do you hate him so much? What
did he possibly do? He wanted to elevate you to
be the head coach and and and suddenly so I
(07:20):
I he's never really talked about it, so maybe he is.
Could be you could be right about that two shots Fizer,
one shot Johnson and Johnson. So he doesn't like Woody Johnson,
doesn't like this Johnson and no, oh no you got
well you usually got the two but no, Jay and
j was just the one shot right too? No, Jane
j is supposed to be one and eighty percent Jane
(07:43):
j No, no, no, no, no. The Johnson and Johnson
COVID shot was you got it once eighty percent? Like
that's what I'm right? Yeah, which I don't know why
if you're a hey, we could charge for Tuesday, okay,
we can charge for okay. So he goes on and
he talks about the Jets, and not only is he
still hateful of the Jets when he talks about what's
going on in the last week with firing the head
(08:04):
coach Robert Sala, he does not hold back with what
he thinks the Jets are.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
That's kind of what it's been there at the Jets.
You know, barely won over thirty percent in the last
ten years, so you know, the owner being the owner,
just ready fireingim.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
But Bill you mentioned I mean in ninety nine you
were in the DC for the Jets parcels and the
head coach he stepped down. You replaced him for a
day before resigning. We have a recreation of your resignation
letter that we can show here. You wrote quote, I
resigned as HC of the Jay and you wrote it
on a napkin. Looking back, what's a stranger? Have you
(08:41):
resigned on a napkin? Or then you couldn't be bothered
to write out the words head coach?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I was tight on space. Hey, look, Peyton, I was
the head coach of.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
The Jets twice.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I was a head coach before Parcels came there and
I was head coach after resign, undefeated, unscoreed.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
On, all right, yeah whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Belichick was named the head coach because they were trying
to get Parcels from the Patriots. They didn't know if
they were gonna get him because he wanted to leave
the page coach the Jets. There was this whole trade
that was that had to happen, so he was the
coach in waiting. Parcels is the coach. They were gonna
make Belichick the coach, so here he is all they
won thirty percent of the games, the owner being the
owner ready fire aim. I get it. I get you
(09:27):
don't like the Jets. I get that you don't like
them from the last twenty four years. I get that
you don't aren't happy they sent you into retirement. They
got you. They fired you from the Patriots because you
lost to them the end of the game last year.
But I will tell you this one. Yes, he probably
hates the Jets. I'm sure he does. Does he hate
Woody Johnson? Yes, sure, he hates Woody Johnson. However, However,
(09:50):
if the Jets called him tomorrow and I like saying
it that way, if the Jets called Bill Belichick tomorrow tomorrow,
they would get his voice to morrow. You think he
set up voicemail for the Jets yet, No, he doesn't.
It just goes to the Jets. It just goes. No,
you call Belichick, you get Belichick's voicemail, It's just the
(10:11):
voicemail box for this phone has not been set up yet.
Please try your call again later. Thank you. I keep
yelling at my parents for that very same thing. If
the Jets called Belichick, if Woody Johnson called Bill Belichick
to mersamorrow, Hey, I know you don't like me, but
I don't like what's been going on. Jeff Ulbrick is
(10:32):
not our guy. We know we have a whole thing.
Our roster's really talented. Would you come in and coach
the Jets? He would get on a surfboard to get
to one MetLife Drive and show up in a cutoff
Jets hoodie saying I am ready to coach this team,
and I am ready to start right now. So let's
be honest, because you know he wants to get back
(10:54):
in coaching as much fun he is having hanging out
with Pat McAfee and the Mannings and all this crazy
ass stuff that's going on. You know, he wants to
get back there. Sure while he thinks, hey, maybe after
this year, teams are gonna like me. Anybody could have
had you this year and they said no, I know
you think Jerry Jones gonna hold out and hire you.
And we'll get to that in a few minutes. But
you really, if someone wants to hire you, you gotta
(11:17):
say yes. No, you don't want to say yes to
a complete and utter rebuild because we saw you try
to rebuild a team and it doesn't work because you're
terrible at it. But the Jets are a really good roster.
Aaron Rodgers, who he as long admired as a quarterback,
he would be the Jet he had in five seconds,
he would say yes. He would put everything in his house,
make it green, and it would It would be the
It would be the biggest turn in NFL history because
(11:41):
he'd want to stick it to the Patriots. And more importantly,
he wants to pass Don Shula. He wants to pass
Don Shula the most wins in NFL history. Maybe Andy
Reid winds up passing him at some point, but maybe not,
because Andy Reid still got a long way to go.
But Belichick wants that record, and if the Jets called
in tomorrow, he would absolutely say yeah, yeah, I know
(12:02):
he would say yes because he wants that so bad.
So all of this I hate the Jets. I hate
the Jets. Yeah, I get that. I understand that part
of it. No one's ever he never really told anybody why.
I get that. But if the Jets called you tomorrow,
you would be the head coach. You up for that
first press conference. We're in a throwback Jets hat, ready
to go, saying well, I always I respected the way
(12:22):
the team was run. You know, I have a great defense,
there are a lot of great players and all this stuff.
Suddenly he's not laughing anymore. He is with McAfee, you're
saying crazy stuff like that. He's back to saying, hey,
I know what happened in the past is the past.
I'm here already. I'm excited to go on because maybe
he can get another five wins this year. Five wins
closer to five wins, closer to don Jula tomorrow, he
(12:42):
would be the Jets.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, but you know it would be funny if they
agreed in principle and then Woody Johnson came out and
did him like, oh, no, we've used you to get
this guy here, just like you were.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I've decided to not hire you as HC of the
NY Jets. It I've decided that to happen. Beat it, Belijack.
You think he's not smart, Mike?
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Hell no, hell though, Like look, the Jets are obviously
one of those situations where you have to decide who
do you hate more. Robert Krapp might have added fuel
to the fire this weekend because he started talking about
the regrets of the control that Belichick had and everything
the last several years, not just how it ended, but
the build up and some of the decisions and control
(13:21):
that he'd allowed Belichick to have. That might be enough
fuel to say to make it a little uh, or
I should say, make the Jets a little more palatable,
then maybe they might have been.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's tough. It's tough to make the Jets power. I
get it's very tough, but mate, well there one of
thirty two. It's I'm saying, but it's still tough because
you're still dealing from a deficit.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I'm still sitting there and I love what I'm seeing
from my beloved Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
You think hebra fluses one hundred percent safe. If you know,
if you don't like asparagus, there's only so much you
could do to it to make it appealing for someone. No,
but haven't, but isn't isn't Is it even tasted just
at the bacon. Yeah, it's only so much you can
do bacon and cheese. You'll be good. Jeez, Tomorrow, he
(14:09):
would coach the Jets. There's no way you truly believe
tomorrow he's trying to speaking into existence. He's never gonna happen.
What is going LeVar ball?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
He would even he would hang up on what Johnson
in one second? Dude, he would say, I can't I
can't wait to get there for you to give me
my free Jets gear. I'm gonna order it. I'm going
to order it off Fanatics, which again they can't even
put two and two together. I'm going to order my
sea through stuff off Fanatics to wear it so I
could walk into the press conference exactly. Now it's see
(14:39):
through exactly. The hell subsided Fanatics was always see through.
Did you see that those those jerseys, the jerseys in
the pants, sorry baseball the way kind of flipped it out,
and I needed the larger contexts there for saying just
for a moment, I'm like the hell, I'm Mike Harmon.
I need larger context. That's not the only bit of
(15:02):
drab with Bill Bellichick. We'll lot more on that story
coming up in a few minutes because it involves the cowboys.
But and it was seen through pants. You want to

Mets garbage. Oh stop, the Mets is the best stuff, man,
Come on it you kidding? Definitely download after We were
just happy to be here Sunday night and we're flat,
what are we getting today? In front of me and
my dad? Oh, by the way, how glad was I that?
I said, now, boy, which game could I go to?
If we go? If we go? And I was a
Sunday versus Monday? And my dad got, you know, got
(18:22):
tickets for us today, and so we go to I'm like, boy,
how happy was I to go today instead of going
last night? Like that would have been awful as as
long as your dad paid, that would have been awful.
But I want to tell you a couple of quick
stories from from from the game today. One is going
to make you go oh, and one's gonna make you
go whoa. So we go to the game and in
(18:45):
the ninth inning. Things are starting to get a little
tense between Met fans and Dodger fans, right like, you know,
you get Met fans have been drinking all game and
Dodger fans been drinking all game and not me because
I gotta work. In fact, I had a Met fan
behind me who was vaping, going, hey, dude, you want some.
I'm like no, and I'm good. Used what do you
mean I go, I gotta work tonight. He oh wow,
that stinks. But that that's like New Yorkers, like you're
(19:07):
talking five seconds. No, No, I don't know. I was
I'm gonna take a stranger's vape pen. Yeah, sure, man, whatever,
what am I twenty one? Drink this? Okay?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I was to ask, just ask the question, what are
we working? He was a good dude. We were talking
the whole game everything, and in fact, we had a
we had a five minute conversation about the about the
career of Billy Squire because they played uh stroking in
between innings. He was Billy squad was like the biggest
rock star in the eighties ever. And he's trying to
explain to his wife about Billy Squire and going We're
having a conversation about Billy Squire for for five minutes.
(19:39):
That's what we do. So things are starting to get
a little tense, right, Things got a little tense between
the Mets fans and the Dodger fans. And I'm going
to the point where I said, ooh, because it's the
ninth inning, We're going to the bottom of the ninth
The Mets are up four runs, going this is this
is not gonna end well for the Dodgers. So I'm like, okay, okay, okay,
And then all of a sudden, somebody just says, hey, man,
(19:59):
everybody remember the Yankee suck. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And then
all of a sudden, Mets fans Dodger fans all start
chanting Yankee suck, Yankee suck. It was like it was like, hey,
when Chocolate Meats peanut butter, when Aerosmith and run DMC
went together and said we're gonna do walk this way together.
Look what we're doing, bringing two styles of music together
(20:19):
that people wouldn't put together. This is so great. And
they're chantting Yankee suck for like a minute. It's like,
get their arms around each other. Hey, we're cheering and yeah,
like whatever you say, Hey, everybody can come to come
to the conclusion of what they feel about that they
are still the standard bearer of it all. Did you
say it to Jeter's face?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
But what I did was my dad is sitting next
to me and he's in a Yankee hat, and I
told him, Dad, you can't wear a Yankee hat to
the game. You have the game, okay, why can't we
wear a Yankee hat? Because it was it doesn't you
gotta wear He was trying not to get beat up.
You got a weird gear of a team that's playing
in a game. When you go a game, he's celebrating baseball.
My dad's seventy seven, do what he wanted to. So
(20:58):
he's wearing a Yankees hat and he's in his seat
and everybody's yelling Yankee sucking. I decide I'm gonna get
on the so I'm yelling Yankee sucking. I'm pointing at him,
and he's shrinking in his seat like Aaron Rodgers at
the end of the game, going oh man, we're gonna
lose again. He's just shrinking in a seat and I'm
yelling Yankee suck. Here he's a Yankee yeah, but what
did they all turn him and decided to beat him up?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Here he is?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I didn't think about that.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Anger.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Wasn't there any more towards each other by now you
each had a common enemy. I bet you hated the
Yankees and you got your dad's ask man, I did
not How would you feel about that, mister Helper, I
did not think about that at the time, because five
minutes live, just to show you what it's like in all.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You had to do was protect him with that helmet
in the helmet hair off and threw a bowling ball
in their bellies. They're just yelling Yankee here he is.
Guy's a Yankee fan. He's got his hat on backwards.
But then you juxtaposed that with with you know, seven
or eight minutes later, where of course, you know, it's
never easy for the Mets. Right, and Diaz gives up
(21:58):
a single, the top of the order comes up. He walks,
O taany I'm going, oh man, this is this is
just how it goes from the Mets. Right. So I'm nervous,
you know, I just it's it's just I'm just, oh man,
the world's starting to collapse on it. In a little
bit in the moment. Yeah, and I'm going DZ again,
and I'm sitting going, if he blows us and all
this stuff, and I'm just sitting here and and and
you know, I look at my dad's next to me,
(22:20):
and he's rooting for me the whole game. Look when
the Mets just said, he's rooting for me the whole game.
He's going, Oh, come on, DZ, how much did you
pay him the route for you?
Speaker 6 (22:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
No, I didn't. I didn't pay him anything. Didn't pay anything.
I didn't pay any No. He's he cares about this
until he would get mad, going, you know, the Mets
beat the Dodgers, how can I go to the World Series?
How can I go to the Yankees Mets World Series?
I live in La Now, like he'd be like, it's
my fault of the Mets beat the Dodgers. Now said
cough up a buck.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Wh No.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
So I'm just sitting there and not to get all
schmaltzy on it and everything, but I'm sitting there and
I'm looking at him as Diz is struggling, and I
just go, you know, if Diaz gives up a three
run homer and then he gives up another Homer and
the game's tip whatever. I just sat there for a
couple of seconds in there, going how many my dad
and I have had such a great day together? And
(23:03):
how many more days like this are we gonna have
where we can go to a game like this and
watch and just have this kind of you know, we drived,
we drive the game together, and we watched the game,
we drive home. It's like, how many more days are
we going to have like that? Because look, the Mets
go to the NLC. That's for ten years, right, so
how many more days like that? And I just I
just gave I just started smiling, going, you know, it's okay,
(23:25):
it's okay, you know, whatever happens, it's it's I'm just
having such a great time here with him. We had
a great day together, and it was you know, I
felt battlement for going Yankee suck out him, but it
was just it was just such a fun for moments
right there. And then you know, the game ends and
I'm like okay, and I started thinking to myself, Ah,
what I really have been Okay, if DZ gave all
those runs, what I really said, No, Dad, you and
(23:47):
I got to come to the game together. I mean,
would I really have been that way? I don't know.
I mean, I don't know. I you know, it's not
many things I'll tell you. I don't know the chance.
But I'm like, I don't chance, I don't know what.
This is a great day. But come on, man, d
I just camp a three run over to task Carnandez
my name.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Now, now, guys that you don't even know are coming
up there. Tommy Edman is gonna get his fourth end
of the game today. And oh, by the way, should
have a double playground to do it. Beat a Lonzo
couldn't make the play like that's I mean, I don't
know if I would have been that way. If I
would have just said, you know what, it's great, we
had a great day. Let's go home and and and
and come to work.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
You might you might have been great to Walt, you
would not have been great here, especially had been compounded
if that had gone to hell and they lose a
seven to three lead, so you lose that game, and
then you came in and watched.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
With the Jets.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, well you'd been the last guy I
wanted to see. Yeah, it would have been yeah, yeah,
you wouldn't have wanted to see me in Frost. You
wouldn't want to see him. You tell me you want
to see me. My team lost one hundred and twenty
one games. Yeah, my football teams are you got? I
got Caleb Williams and and I have a quarterback at
Northwestern chasing the cartment over that with a tire iron
like repeated. The potential was there, but you might have
(24:57):
gotten the worst of it.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
He would have shift you. You might want to lay low. Yeah,
that could have gotten ugly, Jason, you stabbed your preuncer
with a tried it. I say this to tell you.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
About that, Ja, but to take your serious point and
just punctuated for a second. It is true, right that
at some point you have those moments that you just
know aren't going to be able to behead. Whether it's
you know, your kids growing up, your parents move away,
we all get older, all of these things. So yeah,
(25:26):
I'm glad you had that moment.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
That was cool. It really was. It really was. Again.
I like to think I would have been okay, but
you're probably right. I probably would have been okay for
the ride. I would have just said, just drive, Dad,
just drive, drive, turn the yankees on and I'm gonna
ignore you, like I'm in the front seat of the
car and you're my dad. We're not gonna have been
on Twitter and cursing the Mets out. But the point
(25:48):
is that that's the stuff that matters.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
It really was, and for all the yelling we do here, man,
Like I'm three thousand miles from my folks, I had days.
I didn't know if they were okay last week until
the power kicked back in. You assume they were and
they were just mad they were missing General Hospital or whatever.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
But you know, until you get that, no, you don't know.
This is where Luke and Laura finally get back together.
I'm excited about that. Yeah, you know, folks, Uh, forget
how that all started. This is where they can Gari run.
This is where they controlled the weather machine like they
did in the eighties, and that kept Luke from Laura,
and yeah, they're together again. A man, how prescient is
(26:31):
that in today's headlines of just controlling the weather? Yeah,
that was like the neg storyline. Looking lie, they're fighting
against somebody who had a weather machine that controlled the
weather with that was a storyline. They're the storyline. Time
now to find out what's trending in the wide world
of sports. From a guy who makes both Tony Geary
and Jeanie Francis look like amateurs. Wow, it's Steve de Sager.
(26:53):
What's trending? Where did we go with that? I think
you would have been good on Dark Shadows? That was
what fifty years he's been a vampire?
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Okay, it doesn't seem like a compliment in the least.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
That was such a wow. It would have been a
vampire on a soap opera. Can we just get to
the Jets game? Speaking of horrors, start with the Mets, please,
you please start with the Mets.
Speaker 6 (27:19):
Buffalo beat the Jets twenty three to twenty Josh Allen

Stefanski said again that Deshaun Watson is still his starting quarterback.
The Colt sty quarterback Anthony Richardson is expected to return
Sunday against the Dolphins. Jaguars running back Travis Etn is
week to week with a hamstring injury. Jacksonville traded defensive

The Yankee scored twice in the third inning on bases
loaded wild pitches, solo homers for Juan Soto and Jimcarlos
Stanton the win to Carlos Rodan nine strikeouts, no walks

Weaver four strikeouts in an inning two thirds. He's been
spectacular as the Yankees closer the past month. The Mets
are even at a game apiece in the NLCS after
(29:52):
beating the Dodgers in LA seven to three. The Mets
led six to nothing in the second inning after a
grand slam by Mark Vientos, LA with Tommy Edmunds three
he hits and not much else as far as offense.
In fact, with runners in scoring position, the LA offense
was one for nine each team ten men left on

hip injury in the game one win last night, so

eight pm Eastern time. The Mets pitching staff this year,
by the way, had the lowest batting average against in
the National League. Opponents hit two thirty against them.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Back to you, yeah, get ready, Look, everybody says, all
the dodg Yeah, the Dodgers looked great last night when
they had Jack Flaherty starting and everything went according to
plan seven innings. Yeah, they look great. What happened today? Well,
it's going to be a full bullpen mess, right, Guess
what's gonna happen next the appropriate word mess. Guess what happens?
The next game is gonna be a big mess because
Walker Bueller is going to start. What are you going
(31:06):
to do after that? What are you going after that? Like,
it's not If every game was like yesterday for the Dodgers,
I would say okay, but it's not wow any more
like today.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Peacock, Walker Bueller Wednesday, Yamamoto on Thursday. The thing is,
and I mentioned this twice on last night's show. I
saw a list of the Dodgers joining teams that it
had that big of a shutout to open a playoff series.
I looked at the other five teams on the list.
None of them wound up winning the series, not one.
Rick Suckcliffe was with the Cubs, for example, and they
(31:36):
finally won the division. Their opponent the Padres, in their
first ever playoff game. They lost the opener of the
series thirteen to nothing. By the end of the week,
the Padres were in the World Series and everybody else
on that list Cardinals of the eighty two World Series
on on you get shut out by that much in
the first game, historically, all the losers of those game ones.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Why would you look that up? What are you doing?
He said, losers.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
The other is it's only five five in your sample size, right,
that is correct, So it's a small sample size.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Who's just saying now she's gonna start tanking the first game.
I want to get shut out good, shut out big, And.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
It was cub It's an extreme extremity because it's not
just talking about getting shut out one nothing or three nothing.
It's people who get blown out. It's not just the
series isn't over. It's literally all of those teams came
back to win that week.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Thank you, Steve O. Yeah, but you know, the knack
did not come through. He did not have the knack.
It was DJ. It was not Sharona but Mark Vientos
who pulled the big. Look at uh SO coming up next,
two big stories out of the NFL, including one big
bold prediction on a big story that'll happen by Wednesday. Wednesday.
(32:51):
That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon. Left Turn, Vanessa Carlton Ran, Vanessa Carlton. Yeah,
nicely done. How about two big NFL stories to finish
with here before we get to Ben Maller, who's gonna
tell you all about the Dodgers and how they lost
to the Mets today. We talked about Bill Belichick earlier
(33:23):
in the hour and how I told you if the
he insulted the Jets on the Manning cast tonight, it's
what the owner wants to do. Ready, fire aim, They
won like thirty percent of their games the last ten years. Yes,
it was rounding up, by the way, and then you'll
take that for data, about thirty percent of I think
he's about right. I think he's about right probably. I
told you if the Jets called him tomorrow, he would
(33:45):
he would be at one, Jets drive and Jets sneakers
to coach. I'm ready. I got to get back in.
But I'll tell you this. For all of the stuff
that's going on with the Cowboys, and they're three and
three and and Jerry Jones had to answer questions about
are you going to make a coaching chain and he goes, no,
Mike McCarthy's my guy. Yeah, And I agree, And I
think he's telling the truth because the Cowboys are three
and three. They're not one and five, right, they're three
(34:07):
and three. They're still there. Division is not great, so okay.
But Jerry Jones is about headlines. He is about attention.
He is not gonna let this season go without doing something.
If the Cowboys are out of it after Thanksgiving, right,
it's gonna it's gonna everybody gets time if the Cowboys
are out of it after Thanksgiving, because that's to be
(34:29):
the last time we really pay attention to Dallas playing
on Thanksgiving, he will hire Bill Belichick to be the
head coach and he will start that week. He will
grab the headlines. You know, he has a fascination with
Belichick anyway, and he would say come in and coach now,
because if we're not gonna win. At least we're gonna
win the relevancy and you coaching this team keeps it
(34:51):
in the news. I can only do so much my
interviews every week and keep saying I'm all in and
I'm not and Dak and everything. No, no, no, but
that'll happen. And you know what Bill Bellich would say, yes,
because he would say, I'm not gonna turn I'm not
gonna thumb my nose. That maybe win a chance to
win two or three more games in the final six
or seven weeks where I'm gonna get that much closer
(35:12):
to Don Shula's record, which is what he wants. So
if the Cowboys are out of it, if they fall
out of it by Thanksgiving, he'll hire Bill Belicher to
be the coach in December, and he'll coach December into
January and get a head start on next year, all
the stuff you're gonna normally hear. Hey, he gets to
evaluate the players. It's such a great move. No, but
it's just keeping people talking about the Cowboys and doing
what he would do anyway in the offseason, trying to
(35:33):
make a big splash.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
He will just do it now kind of a curiosity
just looking at the schedule aad. By the way, that
Thanksgiving game only thirty six bucks is getting you a
Laney Wilson concert.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
You maybe get Bill Belichick on the sideline jumping into
the kettle.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
It would be after Thanksgiving you want to have to
think giving. But then it's the holidays. You think that
Jerry Jones goes full grinch.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
No, no, that's why that's why he hires Belichick because
oh that that's gonna make you pay through the Holliday. Yes,
that's his gift to him.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
I would have thought he'd give himself a gift after
that atrocity from yesterday.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Well, it was his birthday. The guy's worth billions of dollars.
What do you get the guy who has everything?
Speaker 4 (36:11):
A new coach telling you after that effort heading into
a bye week, there was never a more perfect time,
just a little longer. I know it's against character, I
know it's not what he wants to do. But coming
out of the bye week at San Francisco, at Atlanta
home against Philadelphia, and Houston on the road against Washington,
and then you get the g men for that Thanksgiving game.
(36:35):
So all of that to say, it's it's a train
wreck what they're running out in Dallas right now, and
all quarterbacks become must starts against that defense as it
currently stands.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
So if that's something for after Thanksgiving, Belichick and the Cowboys,
how about something that I would I would be stunned
if it didn't happen by Wednesday. Oh okay, Jets lose tonight.
We watch how they did it. Embarrassing fact, missing two
field goals, all the penalties, all the penalties. But the
play that's gonna stand for this game is going to
(37:08):
be Rogers with two minutes left to go, looking like
he's going to complete a forty yard pass to Mike Williams,
who slips and falls and instead of catching the ball
and the Jets with the fifteen yard line, it's an
interception and that basically salts the game away for the
Bills over the Jets. Yeah, this play. The Jets now
(37:29):
have had the last three games where the offenses had
the chance with a final possession to win a game,
and they have not. Zerlin missed a field goal against
the Broncos, they had the chance against the Vikings and
Aaron Rodgers threw a pick that had the chance. Here
they didn't do it. There's not a lot you can
do to try to save the season at this point.
It's basically figure it out. But they've already fired their
(37:50):
head coach and they're still all in on this year
with Aaron Rodgers. The one thing you can do is
go get the guy that's gonna help maybe solve those issues.
If Davante Adams is in a Jet by Wednesday, I
will be surprised. I'll be really surprised, because this is
how you do it. You're all in on this year.
What are you gonna do? Defensively? You're hoping to get
(38:10):
a saw In Reddick back, but is that really what
you need getting Max Crosby?
Speaker 4 (38:13):
Is that no?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
But offensively you've had the chance now the last three
weeks to win games and you did not do it.
This play of Mike Williams falling down is the thing
I know the Raiders are sticking to. They're gun so
far as well. We want a second round pick and more.
We don't want to pay the salary. No, they want
to move him if the Jets come over the top
a little bit, which they have to because jobs are
at stake, seasons are at stake. You're all in on
(38:36):
Aaron Rodgers. Davanta Adams will be a Jet by Wednesday.
I will be really stunned if he's not.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Yeah, I think the Raiders hold unless you come completely
over the top. And Joe Douglas pushes all in at
the poker table that its status quo. Because it's curious, right,
Antonio Pierce now one of the leaders in the clubhouse
for the next fired. They're in Las Vegas. Lots swirling
around there. But Devantae Adams reportedly was okay with Aidan
(39:03):
O'Connell as this quarterback. We'll see if that's actually reality
or if that was that's the lesser of two evils
between he and Gardner Minshew when he was gave that
tepid endorsement this offseason. But yeah, I think the Raiders
holding their guns again unless you just come completely over
the time.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I have no choice. They kind of have to. Well, right,
how else are you gonna say you fired your coach
and you lost an embarrassing game? How do you say?
What do you do from there? They've been doing it
for twenty years sight. But I'm not saying, Hey, I'm
not saying you're wrong. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm
just telling you what's gonna happen that has to happen.
If they don't, we're just gonna go and and continue
(39:43):
to make these mistakes, do the same thing over and
over again. I got By tomorrow morning, Kicker auditions will
be announced and you'll have a new guy on this.
I'm flying the met Life because I could kick. I'm
actually pretty good kicker. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go. I'll
kick it low enough. I don't worry. I'm like Mark Moseley,
(40:04):
I go straight ahead. Coming up next, my buddy Ben Mallard.

and I'm like, okay, this actually turned out to turn
off fine. He and I got to spend a lot
of time together, hang out and talk and as I said,
sitting at the table we were at, like it's just
in a dining area. Other people came and sat with us.
Hey can we use these two chairs? No, that's fine.
(01:55):
So over the course of the hour that we got
to sit there because what wasn't anything else because the.
Speaker 4 (01:59):
Game you started doing interviews of random fans or what.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
People came and sat and they were you know, there's
the first guy, a Dodger fan came and sat with us,
and turns out he's from uh, not too far from
where where I live as Oh that's kind of cool.
Yeah I live here. Oh that's great.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We had a Mets husband and wife, and then a
Dodger's husband and wife came and said, did you mind
if we sit? Yeah, there's roof for you guys right here,
right here. So they come and sit and we're talking
with them, and they were like, he's telling me all
we came in from Palm Springs and he said, you know,
I'm a big Dodgers fan. I used to live here
and moved out. It was really cool. And so he comes,
he sits and he's all dressed up and his wife
(02:35):
is all dressed up in Dodgers gear, and she goes, okay,
so let me ask a question. And we're like okay,
and she goes, so if the Dodgers, if we win today,
we go to the World Series. And I look at
the guy and he just he just kind of rolls
his eyes and I go, what do I want to
do here? And I just go I turn, I go, yes, yes, yes,
(02:55):
when today you go to where you play the Yankees
and if you beat them, you're gonna play the audience
what we play. I said, yes, that's how the World
Series goes, you play all the teams are in the playoffs,
you go all the way around, you went today, you
won the first too, you gotta play the Yankees, and
she goes, that doesn't sound right, as if they won
game two, if they go to the World See, that
(03:18):
doesn't sound right. That doesn't that doesn't.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
Sound right, Spiky says, husband might have been kicking her
foot under the table.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Here.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Kind of fun, Missus Thompson, and think he's talking to you.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
So that was kind of fun, fun fun with fans.

Yeah, I live across the street. Like never seen you
here before. That's Easter or it's Christmas Eve, and here
we are Cress.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And and you know what's crazy tonight? Think of people
who are there. So when I get to the game, they, uh,
Jason Bateman and Will Arnett read the Dodger starting line
up to everybody. I was like, oh, there's money in the
banana stand. And so I'm like, oh, okay, that's funny,
you know rest development because I was that's one of
my favorite shows of all time. Like, oh, okay, great.
So they read they read the uh, they read the
(04:15):
starting lineups, and they both say, Vince Scully is this
time for Dodger baseball line Everything's great? So they oh great,
and then I look up and I go they were
on the Manning Cast tonight for the football game. Like
it's like, we're together all day, you were at the
game together. I came in to do to do the
show with you. They decide we're gonna go on the
Manning Cast. I'm like, what the hell man, It's like
they're doing the same things today.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
There was a random report that Arnette was booked and
he was like on the the rundown list that they
put out. I was like, hey, later on on the
menicanp and then Bateman found out he didn't know he
was gonna be on, Like what the hell, man, I
want on too, because they have their podcast and building
their own podcast network and whatever else. So yeah, Bateman
just said, well I'm crashing that.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Yeah, what do you come well here? Yeah? No, I
mean it was it was. It was really cool. I'm like, okay,
I feel like they're following me. He should have had
him called the game like he was Pepper.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
No.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
They The funny thing is like they just like you
could tell us one of those things. They're like, hey,
you guys want to read the starting lineup because they're
just gonna say in polo shirts. And then they're hey, okay,
here's and they're reading right off the piece of paper
in front of them. So it's not like it was, Hey,
we got a special thing going on here.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
It's not Tom Cruise. I'm taking the torch from France
and bringing it to Hollywood. Hey, you guys want to
come up here and read something?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Sure, okay, yeah, I'll do it for you. Do you
want me to do the Lego Batman voice? Like, what
do you want me to do? I'll do it really
down here Batman. Uh So again, pretty interesting. But let's
talk about the Jets. Uh the wow, that was all
the Mets toots come up. We've got more Mets coming up.
But the Jets lose tonight to the Bills twenty three
(05:49):
to twenty. We talked about how embarrassing of a loss
this is. They missed two field goals in the second half,
one from thirty two yards. They have a play that
looks like it's gonna be a forty yard game. Instead,
the ball is dropped. There's too many penalties on both
teams that made the game unwatchable. This was tough. But
there's losing, and then there's really losing because during the
(06:11):
manning cast, Bill Belichick was on Who again, Bill Belichick?
Who has done nothing but showed disdain for the media
for twenty five years, And now suddenly he's laughing with
McAfee and Peyton and Elion. Suddenly, Yeah, I'm a really
fun guy. You know. It's a little bit. It's tough
to watch, to be fair, a lot of guys have
done that. Yeah, to watch.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Kevin Garnett was not a big media fan when he
was a player. He loved doing commercials, but he had
loved the media. He got a podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, but he was. But he's a player and and
but Belichick is someone who lives with the media and
deals with them on a consistent basis every week. Because
the head coach always talks, right, always has to talk,
always has to have a press conference. He just treats
with this day. And now he's laughing, hanging out, making jokes,
and he goes on the show tonight. He goes on
the Manning cast tonight and he just lights the Jets
(06:59):
on five. I remember he was the head coach of
the Jets for a day when the Jets hired him
in two thousand. He didn't want to work for Woody
Johnson because he hates Woody Johnson. Something he's never talked about. Why.
I'm like, Woody Johnson owned the team for a couple
of years, how do you hate him so much? What
did he possibly do? He wanted to elevate you to
be the head coach and and and suddenly so I
(07:20):
I he's never really talked about it, so maybe he is.
Could be you could be right about that two shots Fizer,
one shot Johnson and Johnson. So he doesn't like Woody Johnson,
doesn't like this Johnson and no, oh no you got
well you usually got the two but no, Jay and
j was just the one shot right too? No, Jane
j is supposed to be one and eighty percent Jane
(07:43):
j No, no, no, no, no. The Johnson and Johnson
COVID shot was you got it once eighty percent? Like
that's what I'm right? Yeah, which I don't know why
if you're a hey, we could charge for Tuesday, okay,
we can charge for okay. So he goes on and
he talks about the Jets, and not only is he
still hateful of the Jets when he talks about what's
going on in the last week with firing the head
(08:04):
coach Robert Sala, he does not hold back with what
he thinks the Jets are.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
That's kind of what it's been there at the Jets.
You know, barely won over thirty percent in the last
ten years, so you know, the owner being the owner,
just ready fireingim.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
But Bill you mentioned I mean in ninety nine you
were in the DC for the Jets parcels and the
head coach he stepped down. You replaced him for a
day before resigning. We have a recreation of your resignation
letter that we can show here. You wrote quote, I
resigned as HC of the Jay and you wrote it
on a napkin. Looking back, what's a stranger? Have you
(08:41):
resigned on a napkin? Or then you couldn't be bothered
to write out the words head coach?
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I was tight on space. Hey, look, Peyton, I was
the head coach of.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
The Jets twice.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
I was a head coach before Parcels came there and
I was head coach after resign, undefeated, unscoreed.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
On, all right, yeah whatever.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Belichick was named the head coach because they were trying
to get Parcels from the Patriots. They didn't know if
they were gonna get him because he wanted to leave
the page coach the Jets. There was this whole trade
that was that had to happen, so he was the
coach in waiting. Parcels is the coach. They were gonna
make Belichick the coach, so here he is all they
won thirty percent of the games, the owner being the
owner ready fire aim. I get it. I get you
(09:27):
don't like the Jets. I get that you don't like
them from the last twenty four years. I get that
you don't aren't happy they sent you into retirement. They
got you. They fired you from the Patriots because you
lost to them the end of the game last year.
But I will tell you this one. Yes, he probably
hates the Jets. I'm sure he does. Does he hate
Woody Johnson? Yes, sure, he hates Woody Johnson. However, However,
(09:50):
if the Jets called him tomorrow and I like saying
it that way, if the Jets called Bill Belichick tomorrow tomorrow,
they would get his voice to morrow. You think he
set up voicemail for the Jets yet, No, he doesn't.
It just goes to the Jets. It just goes. No,
you call Belichick, you get Belichick's voicemail, It's just the
(10:11):
voicemail box for this phone has not been set up yet.
Please try your call again later. Thank you. I keep
yelling at my parents for that very same thing. If
the Jets called Belichick, if Woody Johnson called Bill Belichick
to mersamorrow, Hey, I know you don't like me, but
I don't like what's been going on. Jeff Ulbrick is
(10:32):
not our guy. We know we have a whole thing.
Our roster's really talented. Would you come in and coach
the Jets? He would get on a surfboard to get
to one MetLife Drive and show up in a cutoff
Jets hoodie saying I am ready to coach this team,
and I am ready to start right now. So let's
be honest, because you know he wants to get back
(10:54):
in coaching as much fun he is having hanging out
with Pat McAfee and the Mannings and all this crazy
ass stuff that's going on. You know, he wants to
get back there. Sure while he thinks, hey, maybe after
this year, teams are gonna like me. Anybody could have
had you this year and they said no, I know
you think Jerry Jones gonna hold out and hire you.
And we'll get to that in a few minutes. But
you really, if someone wants to hire you, you gotta
(11:17):
say yes. No, you don't want to say yes to
a complete and utter rebuild because we saw you try
to rebuild a team and it doesn't work because you're
terrible at it. But the Jets are a really good roster.
Aaron Rodgers, who he as long admired as a quarterback,
he would be the Jet he had in five seconds,
he would say yes. He would put everything in his house,
make it green, and it would It would be the
It would be the biggest turn in NFL history because
(11:41):
he'd want to stick it to the Patriots. And more importantly,
he wants to pass Don Shula. He wants to pass
Don Shula the most wins in NFL history. Maybe Andy
Reid winds up passing him at some point, but maybe not,
because Andy Reid still got a long way to go.
But Belichick wants that record, and if the Jets called
in tomorrow, he would absolutely say yeah, yeah, I know
(12:02):
he would say yes because he wants that so bad.
So all of this I hate the Jets. I hate
the Jets. Yeah, I get that. I understand that part
of it. No one's ever he never really told anybody why.
I get that. But if the Jets called you tomorrow,
you would be the head coach. You up for that
first press conference. We're in a throwback Jets hat, ready
to go, saying well, I always I respected the way
(12:22):
the team was run. You know, I have a great defense,
there are a lot of great players and all this stuff.
Suddenly he's not laughing anymore. He is with McAfee, you're
saying crazy stuff like that. He's back to saying, hey,
I know what happened in the past is the past.
I'm here already. I'm excited to go on because maybe
he can get another five wins this year. Five wins
closer to five wins, closer to don Jula tomorrow, he
(12:42):
would be the Jets.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah, but you know it would be funny if they
agreed in principle and then Woody Johnson came out and
did him like, oh, no, we've used you to get
this guy here, just like you were.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I've decided to not hire you as HC of the
NY Jets. It I've decided that to happen. Beat it, Belijack.
You think he's not smart, Mike?
Speaker 4 (12:59):
Hell no, hell though, Like look, the Jets are obviously
one of those situations where you have to decide who
do you hate more. Robert Krapp might have added fuel
to the fire this weekend because he started talking about
the regrets of the control that Belichick had and everything
the last several years, not just how it ended, but
the build up and some of the decisions and control
(13:21):
that he'd allowed Belichick to have. That might be enough
fuel to say to make it a little uh, or
I should say, make the Jets a little more palatable,
then maybe they might have been.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's tough. It's tough to make the Jets power. I
get it's very tough, but mate, well there one of
thirty two. It's I'm saying, but it's still tough because
you're still dealing from a deficit.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I'm still sitting there and I love what I'm seeing
from my beloved Chicago Bears.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
You think hebra fluses one hundred percent safe. If you know,
if you don't like asparagus, there's only so much you
could do to it to make it appealing for someone. No,
but haven't, but isn't isn't Is it even tasted just
at the bacon. Yeah, it's only so much you can
do bacon and cheese. You'll be good. Jeez, Tomorrow, he
(14:09):
would coach the Jets. There's no way you truly believe
tomorrow he's trying to speaking into existence. He's never gonna happen.
What is going LeVar ball?
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Right?
Speaker 1 (14:19):
He would even he would hang up on what Johnson
in one second? Dude, he would say, I can't I
can't wait to get there for you to give me
my free Jets gear. I'm gonna order it. I'm going
to order it off Fanatics, which again they can't even
put two and two together. I'm going to order my
sea through stuff off Fanatics to wear it so I
could walk into the press conference exactly. Now it's see
(14:39):
through exactly. The hell subsided Fanatics was always see through.
Did you see that those those jerseys, the jerseys in
the pants, sorry baseball the way kind of flipped it out,
and I needed the larger contexts there for saying just
for a moment, I'm like the hell, I'm Mike Harmon.
I need larger context. That's not the only bit of
(15:02):
drab with Bill Bellichick. We'll lot more on that story
coming up in a few minutes because it involves the cowboys.

But yeah, all of that stuff, fast forward through the
Mets garbage. Oh stop, the Mets is the best stuff, man,
Come on it you kidding? Definitely download after We were
just happy to be here Sunday night and we're flat,
what are we getting today? In front of me and
my dad? Oh, by the way, how glad was I that?
I said, now, boy, which game could I go to?
If we go? If we go? And I was a
Sunday versus Monday? And my dad got, you know, got
(18:22):
tickets for us today, and so we go to I'm like, boy,
how happy was I to go today instead of going
last night? Like that would have been awful as as
long as your dad paid, that would have been awful.
But I want to tell you a couple of quick
stories from from from the game today. One is going
to make you go oh, and one's gonna make you
go whoa. So we go to the game and in
(18:45):
the ninth inning. Things are starting to get a little
tense between Met fans and Dodger fans, right like, you know,
you get Met fans have been drinking all game and
Dodger fans been drinking all game and not me because
I gotta work. In fact, I had a Met fan
behind me who was vaping, going, hey, dude, you want some.
I'm like no, and I'm good. Used what do you
mean I go, I gotta work tonight. He oh wow,
that stinks. But that that's like New Yorkers, like you're
(19:07):
talking five seconds. No, No, I don't know. I was
I'm gonna take a stranger's vape pen. Yeah, sure, man, whatever,
what am I twenty one? Drink this? Okay?
Speaker 3 (19:16):
No?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
I was to ask, just ask the question, what are
we working? He was a good dude. We were talking
the whole game everything, and in fact, we had a
we had a five minute conversation about the about the
career of Billy Squire because they played uh stroking in
between innings. He was Billy squad was like the biggest
rock star in the eighties ever. And he's trying to
explain to his wife about Billy Squire and going We're
having a conversation about Billy Squire for for five minutes.
(19:39):
That's what we do. So things are starting to get
a little tense, right, Things got a little tense between
the Mets fans and the Dodger fans. And I'm going
to the point where I said, ooh, because it's the
ninth inning, We're going to the bottom of the ninth
The Mets are up four runs, going this is this
is not gonna end well for the Dodgers. So I'm like, okay, okay, okay,
And then all of a sudden, somebody just says, hey, man,
(19:59):
everybody remember the Yankee suck. Yeah, yeah, yeah, And then
all of a sudden, Mets fans Dodger fans all start
chanting Yankee suck, Yankee suck. It was like it was like, hey,
when Chocolate Meats peanut butter, when Aerosmith and run DMC
went together and said we're gonna do walk this way together.
Look what we're doing, bringing two styles of music together
(20:19):
that people wouldn't put together. This is so great. And
they're chantting Yankee suck for like a minute. It's like,
get their arms around each other. Hey, we're cheering and yeah,
like whatever you say, Hey, everybody can come to come
to the conclusion of what they feel about that they
are still the standard bearer of it all. Did you
say it to Jeter's face?
Speaker 3 (20:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (20:37):
But what I did was my dad is sitting next
to me and he's in a Yankee hat, and I
told him, Dad, you can't wear a Yankee hat to
the game. You have the game, okay, why can't we
wear a Yankee hat? Because it was it doesn't you
gotta wear He was trying not to get beat up.
You got a weird gear of a team that's playing
in a game. When you go a game, he's celebrating baseball.
My dad's seventy seven, do what he wanted to. So
(20:58):
he's wearing a Yankees hat and he's in his seat
and everybody's yelling Yankee sucking. I decide I'm gonna get
on the so I'm yelling Yankee sucking. I'm pointing at him,
and he's shrinking in his seat like Aaron Rodgers at
the end of the game, going oh man, we're gonna
lose again. He's just shrinking in a seat and I'm
yelling Yankee suck. Here he's a Yankee yeah, but what
did they all turn him and decided to beat him up?
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Here he is?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
I didn't think about that.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Anger.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Wasn't there any more towards each other by now you
each had a common enemy. I bet you hated the
Yankees and you got your dad's ask man, I did
not How would you feel about that, mister Helper, I
did not think about that at the time, because five
minutes live, just to show you what it's like in all.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You had to do was protect him with that helmet
in the helmet hair off and threw a bowling ball
in their bellies. They're just yelling Yankee here he is.
Guy's a Yankee fan. He's got his hat on backwards.
But then you juxtaposed that with with you know, seven
or eight minutes later, where of course, you know, it's
never easy for the Mets. Right, and Diaz gives up
(21:58):
a single, the top of the order comes up. He walks,
O taany I'm going, oh man, this is this is
just how it goes from the Mets. Right. So I'm nervous,
you know, I just it's it's just I'm just, oh man,
the world's starting to collapse on it. In a little
bit in the moment. Yeah, and I'm going DZ again,
and I'm sitting going, if he blows us and all
this stuff, and I'm just sitting here and and and
you know, I look at my dad's next to me,
(22:20):
and he's rooting for me the whole game. Look when
the Mets just said, he's rooting for me the whole game.
He's going, Oh, come on, DZ, how much did you
pay him the route for you?
Speaker 6 (22:26):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:26):
No, I didn't. I didn't pay him anything. Didn't pay anything.
I didn't pay any No. He's he cares about this
until he would get mad, going, you know, the Mets
beat the Dodgers, how can I go to the World Series?
How can I go to the Yankees Mets World Series?
I live in La Now, like he'd be like, it's
my fault of the Mets beat the Dodgers. Now said
cough up a buck.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Wh No.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
So I'm just sitting there and not to get all
schmaltzy on it and everything, but I'm sitting there and
I'm looking at him as Diz is struggling, and I
just go, you know, if Diaz gives up a three
run homer and then he gives up another Homer and
the game's tip whatever. I just sat there for a
couple of seconds in there, going how many my dad
and I have had such a great day together? And
(23:03):
how many more days like this are we gonna have
where we can go to a game like this and
watch and just have this kind of you know, we drived,
we drive the game together, and we watched the game,
we drive home. It's like, how many more days are
we going to have like that? Because look, the Mets
go to the NLC. That's for ten years, right, so
how many more days like that? And I just I
just gave I just started smiling, going, you know, it's okay,
(23:25):
it's okay, you know, whatever happens, it's it's I'm just
having such a great time here with him. We had
a great day together, and it was you know, I
felt battlement for going Yankee suck out him, but it
was just it was just such a fun for moments
right there. And then you know, the game ends and
I'm like okay, and I started thinking to myself, Ah,
what I really have been Okay, if DZ gave all
those runs, what I really said, No, Dad, you and
(23:47):
I got to come to the game together. I mean,
would I really have been that way? I don't know.
I mean, I don't know. I you know, it's not
many things I'll tell you. I don't know the chance.
But I'm like, I don't chance, I don't know what.
This is a great day. But come on, man, d
I just camp a three run over to task Carnandez
my name.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Now, now, guys that you don't even know are coming
up there. Tommy Edman is gonna get his fourth end
of the game today. And oh, by the way, should
have a double playground to do it. Beat a Lonzo
couldn't make the play like that's I mean, I don't
know if I would have been that way. If I
would have just said, you know what, it's great, we
had a great day. Let's go home and and and
and come to work.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
You might you might have been great to Walt, you
would not have been great here, especially had been compounded
if that had gone to hell and they lose a
seven to three lead, so you lose that game, and
then you came in and watched.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
With the Jets.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, well you'd been the last guy I
wanted to see. Yeah, it would have been yeah, yeah,
you wouldn't have wanted to see me in Frost. You
wouldn't want to see him. You tell me you want
to see me. My team lost one hundred and twenty
one games. Yeah, my football teams are you got? I
got Caleb Williams and and I have a quarterback at
Northwestern chasing the cartment over that with a tire iron
like repeated. The potential was there, but you might have
(24:57):
gotten the worst of it.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
He would have shift you. You might want to lay low. Yeah,
that could have gotten ugly, Jason, you stabbed your preuncer
with a tried it. I say this to tell you.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
About that, Ja, but to take your serious point and
just punctuated for a second. It is true, right that
at some point you have those moments that you just
know aren't going to be able to behead. Whether it's
you know, your kids growing up, your parents move away,
we all get older, all of these things. So yeah,
(25:26):
I'm glad you had that moment.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
That was cool. It really was. It really was. Again.
I like to think I would have been okay, but
you're probably right. I probably would have been okay for
the ride. I would have just said, just drive, Dad,
just drive, drive, turn the yankees on and I'm gonna
ignore you, like I'm in the front seat of the
car and you're my dad. We're not gonna have been
on Twitter and cursing the Mets out. But the point
(25:48):
is that that's the stuff that matters.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
It really was, and for all the yelling we do here, man,
Like I'm three thousand miles from my folks, I had days.
I didn't know if they were okay last week until
the power kicked back in. You assume they were and
they were just mad they were missing General Hospital or whatever.

This is where Luke and Laura finally get back together.
I'm excited about that. Yeah, you know, folks, Uh, forget
how that all started. This is where they can Gari run.
This is where they controlled the weather machine like they
did in the eighties, and that kept Luke from Laura,
and yeah, they're together again. A man, how prescient is
(26:31):
that in today's headlines of just controlling the weather? Yeah,
that was like the neg storyline. Looking lie, they're fighting
against somebody who had a weather machine that controlled the
weather with that was a storyline. They're the storyline. Time
now to find out what's trending in the wide world
of sports. From a guy who makes both Tony Geary
and Jeanie Francis look like amateurs. Wow, it's Steve de Sager.

What's trending? Where did we go with that? I think
you would have been good on Dark Shadows? That was
what fifty years he's been a vampire?
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Okay, it doesn't seem like a compliment in the least.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
That was such a wow. It would have been a
vampire on a soap opera. Can we just get to
the Jets game? Speaking of horrors, start with the Mets, please,

Weaver four strikeouts in an inning two thirds. He's been
spectacular as the Yankees closer the past month. The Mets

beating the Dodgers in LA seven to three. The Mets
led six to nothing in the second inning after a
grand slam by Mark Vientos, LA with Tommy Edmunds three

eight pm Eastern time. The Mets pitching staff this year,
by the way, had the lowest batting average against in
the National League. Opponents hit two thirty against them.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Back to you, yeah, get ready, Look, everybody says, all
the dodg Yeah, the Dodgers looked great last night when
they had Jack Flaherty starting and everything went according to
plan seven innings. Yeah, they look great. What happened today? Well,
it's going to be a full bullpen mess, right, Guess
what's gonna happen next the appropriate word mess. Guess what happens?
The next game is gonna be a big mess because
Walker Bueller is going to start. What are you going
(31:06):
to do after that? What are you going after that? Like,
it's not If every game was like yesterday for the Dodgers,
I would say okay, but it's not wow any more
like today.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Peacock, Walker Bueller Wednesday, Yamamoto on Thursday. The thing is,
and I mentioned this twice on last night's show. I
saw a list of the Dodgers joining teams that it
had that big of a shutout to open a playoff series.
I looked at the other five teams on the list.
None of them wound up winning the series, not one.
Rick Suckcliffe was with the Cubs, for example, and they
(31:36):
finally won the division. Their opponent the Padres, in their
first ever playoff game. They lost the opener of the
series thirteen to nothing. By the end of the week,
the Padres were in the World Series and everybody else
on that list Cardinals of the eighty two World Series
on on you get shut out by that much in
the first game, historically, all the losers of those game ones.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Why would you look that up? What are you doing?
He said, losers.
Speaker 4 (32:03):
The other is it's only five five in your sample size, right,
that is correct, So it's a small sample size.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Who's just saying now she's gonna start tanking the first game.
I want to get shut out good, shut out big, And.
Speaker 6 (32:13):
It was cub It's an extreme extremity because it's not
just talking about getting shut out one nothing or three nothing.
It's people who get blown out. It's not just the
series isn't over. It's literally all of those teams came
back to win that week.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Thank you, Steve O. Yeah, but you know, the knack
did not come through. He did not have the knack.
It was DJ. It was not Sharona but Mark Vientos
who pulled the big. Look at uh SO coming up next,
two big stories out of the NFL, including one big
bold prediction on a big story that'll happen by Wednesday. Wednesday.
(32:51):
That's next right here, Jason and Mike Fox.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best friend
Mike Harmon. Left Turn, Vanessa Carlton Ran, Vanessa Carlton. Yeah,
nicely done. How about two big NFL stories to finish
with here before we get to Ben Maller, who's gonna
tell you all about the Dodgers and how they lost
to the Mets today. We talked about Bill Belichick earlier
(33:23):
in the hour and how I told you if the
he insulted the Jets on the Manning cast tonight, it's
what the owner wants to do. Ready, fire aim, They
won like thirty percent of their games the last ten years. Yes,
it was rounding up, by the way, and then you'll
take that for data, about thirty percent of I think
he's about right. I think he's about right probably. I
told you if the Jets called him tomorrow, he would
(33:45):
he would be at one, Jets drive and Jets sneakers
to coach. I'm ready. I got to get back in.
But I'll tell you this. For all of the stuff
that's going on with the Cowboys, and they're three and
three and and Jerry Jones had to answer questions about
are you going to make a coaching chain and he goes, no,
Mike McCarthy's my guy. Yeah, And I agree, And I
think he's telling the truth because the Cowboys are three
and three. They're not one and five, right, they're three
(34:07):
and three. They're still there. Division is not great, so okay.
But Jerry Jones is about headlines. He is about attention.
He is not gonna let this season go without doing something.
If the Cowboys are out of it after Thanksgiving, right,
it's gonna it's gonna everybody gets time if the Cowboys
are out of it after Thanksgiving, because that's to be
(34:29):
the last time we really pay attention to Dallas playing
on Thanksgiving, he will hire Bill Belichick to be the
head coach and he will start that week. He will
grab the headlines. You know, he has a fascination with
Belichick anyway, and he would say come in and coach now,
because if we're not gonna win. At least we're gonna
win the relevancy and you coaching this team keeps it
(34:51):
in the news. I can only do so much my
interviews every week and keep saying I'm all in and
I'm not and Dak and everything. No, no, no, but
that'll happen. And you know what Bill Bellich would say, yes,
because he would say, I'm not gonna turn I'm not
gonna thumb my nose. That maybe win a chance to
win two or three more games in the final six
or seven weeks where I'm gonna get that much closer
(35:12):
to Don Shula's record, which is what he wants. So
if the Cowboys are out of it, if they fall
out of it by Thanksgiving, he'll hire Bill Belicher to
be the coach in December, and he'll coach December into
January and get a head start on next year, all
the stuff you're gonna normally hear. Hey, he gets to
evaluate the players. It's such a great move. No, but
it's just keeping people talking about the Cowboys and doing
what he would do anyway in the offseason, trying to
(35:33):
make a big splash.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
He will just do it now kind of a curiosity
just looking at the schedule aad. By the way, that
Thanksgiving game only thirty six bucks is getting you a
Laney Wilson concert.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
You maybe get Bill Belichick on the sideline jumping into
the kettle.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
It would be after Thanksgiving you want to have to
think giving. But then it's the holidays. You think that
Jerry Jones goes full grinch.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
No, no, that's why that's why he hires Belichick because
oh that that's gonna make you pay through the Holliday. Yes,
that's his gift to him.
Speaker 4 (36:02):
I would have thought he'd give himself a gift after
that atrocity from yesterday.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Well, it was his birthday. The guy's worth billions of dollars.
What do you get the guy who has everything?
Speaker 4 (36:11):
A new coach telling you after that effort heading into
a bye week, there was never a more perfect time,
just a little longer. I know it's against character, I
know it's not what he wants to do. But coming
out of the bye week at San Francisco, at Atlanta
home against Philadelphia, and Houston on the road against Washington,
and then you get the g men for that Thanksgiving game.
(36:35):
So all of that to say, it's it's a train
wreck what they're running out in Dallas right now, and
all quarterbacks become must starts against that defense as it
currently stands.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
So if that's something for after Thanksgiving, Belichick and the Cowboys,
how about something that I would I would be stunned
if it didn't happen by Wednesday. Oh okay, Jets lose tonight.
We watch how they did it. Embarrassing fact, missing two
field goals, all the penalties, all the penalties. But the
play that's gonna stand for this game is going to
(37:08):
be Rogers with two minutes left to go, looking like
he's going to complete a forty yard pass to Mike Williams,
who slips and falls and instead of catching the ball
and the Jets with the fifteen yard line, it's an
interception and that basically salts the game away for the
Bills over the Jets. Yeah, this play. The Jets now
(37:29):
have had the last three games where the offenses had
the chance with a final possession to win a game,
and they have not. Zerlin missed a field goal against
the Broncos, they had the chance against the Vikings and
Aaron Rodgers threw a pick that had the chance. Here
they didn't do it. There's not a lot you can
do to try to save the season at this point.
It's basically figure it out. But they've already fired their
(37:50):
head coach and they're still all in on this year
with Aaron Rodgers. The one thing you can do is
go get the guy that's gonna help maybe solve those issues.
If Davante Adams is in a Jet by Wednesday, I
will be surprised. I'll be really surprised, because this is
how you do it. You're all in on this year.
What are you gonna do? Defensively? You're hoping to get
(38:10):
a saw In Reddick back, but is that really what
you need getting Max Crosby?
Speaker 4 (38:13):
Is that no?
Speaker 1 (38:14):
But offensively you've had the chance now the last three
weeks to win games and you did not do it.
This play of Mike Williams falling down is the thing
I know the Raiders are sticking to. They're gun so
far as well. We want a second round pick and more.
We don't want to pay the salary. No, they want
to move him if the Jets come over the top
a little bit, which they have to because jobs are
at stake, seasons are at stake. You're all in on
(38:36):
Aaron Rodgers. Davanta Adams will be a Jet by Wednesday.
I will be really stunned if he's not.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
Yeah, I think the Raiders hold unless you come completely
over the top. And Joe Douglas pushes all in at
the poker table that its status quo. Because it's curious, right,
Antonio Pierce now one of the leaders in the clubhouse
for the next fired. They're in Las Vegas. Lots swirling
around there. But Devantae Adams reportedly was okay with Aidan
(39:03):
O'Connell as this quarterback. We'll see if that's actually reality
or if that was that's the lesser of two evils
between he and Gardner Minshew when he was gave that
tepid endorsement this offseason. But yeah, I think the Raiders
holding their guns again unless you just come completely over
the time.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
I have no choice. They kind of have to. Well, right,
how else are you gonna say you fired your coach
and you lost an embarrassing game? How do you say?
What do you do from there? They've been doing it
for twenty years sight. But I'm not saying, Hey, I'm
not saying you're wrong. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm
just telling you what's gonna happen that has to happen.
If they don't, we're just gonna go and and continue
(39:43):
to make these mistakes, do the same thing over and
over again. I got By tomorrow morning, Kicker auditions will
be announced and you'll have a new guy on this.
I'm flying the met Life because I could kick. I'm
actually pretty good kicker. Yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go. I'll
kick it low enough. I don't worry. I'm like Mark Moseley,
(40:04):
I go straight ahead. Coming up next, my buddy Ben Mallard.
