Speaker 1 (00:30):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Your selfish bastard? Well, I mean that's
what people are asking you to be right now, big
behind the scenes conversation of when is it okay to
forsake and abandon a lifetime dedicated to the proposition of
a team be your favorite? I got I always say
(00:51):
the same thing. If I had made that choice when
I was a kid, I would have picked the Giants
and the Yankees. I'd have had the best sports life ever.
Can you do that like on your birth day? I
mean not eleven eleven, like when you make a wish
at night or in the morning or anything, but like
on your birthday? Is that where you can do a
jumping off point naturally or instead of kissing someone at
the stroke of midnight. You can't just jump to the
(01:12):
Yankees and the jo I can't do that. Well. I mean,
it's been a wheel, it's been my whole life not
liking them. I can't just suddenly like them, so then
spend the last half enjoying them. Although I will say
this like, like you how many times and you can't.
I remember, I remember, uh, this this one girl from
(01:34):
college I worked with at the radio station music and
I did yeah no no, no, no, no no no, it's
a short one. And uh I did the morning show
at the radio station and this this this this girl.
We just didn't get along. It was fine crew, and
she was that was she she was. She worked for
the stage. Sometimes she did stuff on you know, news
(01:54):
in the morning and stuff, but sometimes she was she
did stuff outside. She just worked the station. And we
just didn't. You know, we're a couple of people that
saw eye to eye, but not not bad, not like
we hated each other. I remember my friend said to
me when we came in, like she came in, she
asked me a question. I I talked to her and
it was just like we were kind of short with
each other. And my friend said, little tension there. I go, no,
(02:17):
we can't know, we just don't get along.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
We just don't head After that, then, so then we
get to the end of the year and we were
having like the end of the year party, end of
the year, you know, uh thing, and she was graduating, right,
she's graduating, you know, going finishing and uh.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We were at the party and I said to one
of the other girls that worked at the station that
she knew but she was friends with, said, oh, you know, yeah,
you know it. It was kind of fun, you know,
seeing you and and you know, you and her, you know,
battle back and forth here. I said, oh, yeah, yeah,
we just we just you know, didn't really see eye
to eye. But that's okay. She goes, are you kidding?
(02:53):
She really liked you. I said, what, Yeah, she liked you.
I said, oh, that changes everything I would have we
could have dated. Yet she liked I didn't know that.
Oh okay that was and then puffed out, yeah that
pumped you got got, you got got. I was like,
the kid didn't know a girl liked him. Well, I
(03:15):
didn't know that that was the way. Well, listen, it's
like eight when you're eight year old. Thing was I
was still on the playground because I never thought about
because I was a sophomore and she was a senior,
so I never really thought about I'm like, okay, I'm
still at that point where okay, no. When I got
to be a junior, that's when really the kid showed up.
Hey now I'm here, not junior high school. But I
(03:36):
never no, no, junior in college. That was really yeah.
So uh because that's when I started doing the morning
show every day and all this stuff, and I was like, yeah,
he was feeling himself a little bit, look at me. Yeah,
But like I never thought, oh, she's a senior. We're
not gonna date. We're not gonna date. She doesn't like
me anyways. I was like, oh no, no, that we
could have dated. Oh my god, that would have been awesome.
I was like, oh, yeah, but I can't do that
(03:57):
with sports teams. I can't go from yeah again, No
I can't. Who says I can't shook No, it's the
sports rule book, man, I got I got on my phone.
I got it right here. I mean, I would mock
you incessantly because if it's gonna make you feel better
about yourself, how can I want to see that sports.
Don't want to see the kid sports rule book right there?
(04:18):
Oh sorry, I shouldn't see. Sorry, whoa, whoa, whoa? That
was in which camera? Was that into? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So uh look schedule release day in the NFL. Speaking
of my teams, the way to hit the brakes and
turn a hard left. Well, let me look, you know,
I like giving the grades out. Speaking of school, we're
giving grades out. I gave a C plus to the
Jets because it was just okay, was boring. Like I said,
it was just okay. It was just okay. But the
(04:46):
thing is, I don't want to fail anybody because I'm
that kind of professor. But because the the creativity that
each team used is great. Like it's where I would
stay in front of the class and go, you all
have done a tremendous job. The effort is there every
you guys are just absolutely going for it, and I
love it. But I gotta give grades. So here's the thing.
(05:07):
Nobody failed. All right, there you go, because the effort
was there. Nobody failed. But there are some a's, there's
some bees, there's some c's. Right, Patriots now fail, Patriots
Patriots get to see oh easily, they get to see.
But as much as I love puppies, but I get
it because it's like, well, we have to be is
really with the whole Rabel Rassini stuff, we gotta be
as non threatening as possible. Man donation to the Human
(05:28):
Fund and to the you know, pet Rescue of the
Greater Can we do more than puppy Can we get
some kittens in there too? Nah? Too, lie, you can't
get the kittens all. Let's just do puppy bowl. What's
it cost to get the McLaughlin suck? Can we do that? Uh?
The Green Bay Packers and their claimation release that borrows
(05:50):
a little bit of from Dusk Till Dawn, that gets
an A. That's a fantastic And the fact they bring
in a claimation Clay Matthews like that, it's good Man,
straight out of Scooby Doo. Yeah, it's not too long
because a lot of these dragon a little too long.
Not too long. The Packers was fantastic. You can make
a half hour movie out of that. Watched and it
(06:11):
looked like, you know, when when you see the claimation
for Rudolph or year without a Santa Claus like, that's
kind of what it looked like. And it was really
cool California raisins back in the day. Oh, it was
absolutely yea clamation cheese curds running a muck. Oh yeah,
the cheese curds attacking. Yeah, no, it's great. The little
(06:34):
used short lived mascot and I would have gotten away
with it. Yeah, I heard him motivate. He was like,
what was it from the seventies? Alan? Right from from
Barbie Allen Allen. We discontinued to Alan, how only was
a No. That was a good one. Though. As much
as I hate the Packers, the Seahawks release a plus.
(06:59):
The entire rel is all different fragrances of the different
teams they're playing, and they're all hysterical. But the best
one is the guy dressed up as the cowboys and
they go I'm sorry, and the interviewer says, I'm sorry,
Circa you tell me what scent are you wearing? He goes, oh,
I'm wearing nostalgia ninety six. No, it's a good one. Yeah.
(07:22):
Joel McHale shows up. That was Marshawn lynch Capper. Oh
what takes you to a whole other level. But I
mean when he goes, I'm wearing nostalgia, nineties. Yeah, but
it starts and you're like, what the hell am I watching?
Because the guy's kind of dressed like Indiana Jones and
starts talking and like okay, and then it's like all
right now we're in a perfume ad and and we
(07:44):
roll from there. So it it sold well. They did
a good job. Oh outstanding. Well they're the super Bowl champs.
If you don't have an A plus schedule release coming
off of the Super Bowl, when are you gonna happen?
But you don't need to, Oh you need All you
need to do is all You've raised the bar. Now
you're right, it's just a trophy, and here's the schedule, Like,
you're not gonna watch you know, no exactly, we put
(08:07):
our the money's on the field. Can you tell me
what you're nostalgion? Cowboys took a incoming across the Yeah, well,
of course they do. Of course they do. Cowboys, Rabel
and Rassini, Yeah, yeah, juice. The Los Angeles Chargers B
plus B plus for the Chargers. Uh, when I look
(08:31):
at it, is it at the level of the A
of some of the other ones. Know, But man, I'll
tell you their Halo presentation. The work into that right away.
I go, I could never play Halo because I wouldn't
be able to. I can't put do stuff on the
screen like that. I can't do it that best. So
that's the thing. You need to rewatch this about probably
fifty times to catch all the individual one liners as
(08:54):
you're going that thing like that, Like if you can't
catch like, that's the whole thing is Like the repeated
viewings are great, but like a couple of them are
flat and I'm like, oh, okay, it's up and down.
But it's like do I need to pause this? Like
go screen like yeah, am I missing something? Or frame review?
And I don't know Halo very well. No, And that's why.
(09:14):
And that's a hard they had that. I mean, they
did a good thing with the Texans and Bears. The
Stroud Caleb Williams thing was funny as well.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Well.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The Jets one was the best to it was the Jets.
It was get one interception Jets, but it should have
started it ended after like Week one eliminated done the Jets.
Elimit five second video or four seconds the Jets don't
play four seconds and then a snap or you just
have you just have someone carrying the torch out, the
flag out, and then it just was eliminated, the torch
(09:44):
and eliminated. But I mean, like that second video, that's
the only thinking. But that was an incredibly well done it,
Like the Chargers PR team is phenomenal. There's a lot,
but there's a lot to it, right, The substation one
for San Francisco with the text, the rat of trying
to get in touch with Brandon Ayuk was pretty funny.
(10:05):
Just a bunch of the individual parts, but again there's
there's a lot of reading and trying to keep your
eyes focused on the screen. There's a lot going on.
So as an old man, it taxed me. Yeah, it was,
And I like, like I said, I mean, I'm watching
going I could never play Halo like I need. I'm
one of the I don't sit here and show my
(10:25):
age all. I can still do stuff. I can still
do stuff now I'm in my fifties, and I'm like,
I need the least involved controller possible to play video games.
It's funny, right, My daughter watched and you don't have
that in Halo. No watches a lot of like competitions
some different video games. But she was showing me one
of this minecraft thing where someone was being accused of
(10:46):
cheating and doing all this, and the way the screen flashed,
I'm like, the hell do you pay attention? How do
you know what's going on? Like and she goes, no, no, no,
you get used to this, Like I don't think I
want to. Yeah. Yeah. It's like there's just all these
flash I got a headache, I got I'm sorry, I
got a headache. I gotta take I gotta take some ass,
but I canna take some leave and I'm done. So
(11:06):
what's this guy doing? Now? He's building this up? It's like,
but everything he's not really doing. What get one interception
and the balls just fall all over and here you
hear the you hear the calls going, oh a near
miss uninterception by the Jets. Another A but it's an
A minus the Saints and their weather related release. You had,
(11:34):
you had Hoda doing the whole thing, and you had
a retired uh meteorologist legend in New Orleans doing that,
and she's taking shots at all the teams. That's outstanding.
I was like, WHOA. The the overall production value not
what some other teams, but you're going for something different
watching the choke advisory to the jockey advisory. Wow. Man, Like, yeah,
(11:57):
I'm giving the Saints minus right off the front. They
jumped on you, So yeah, next level there. Maybe maybe
I could have used a little little more in terms
of the production and theatricality. But the retired new meteorologist
she was awesome. Yeah. I'm like, I don't know who
this is. I wonder. I was like, what what's her? Eyemg.
(12:17):
It's no, she's actually a meteor She's like it's like
a meteorologist emeritus for New Orleans, for like the city.
It's something crazy like that. I have a job that way.
It's what It's amazing. I mean, look again, you know
Jim Cantori is in it, like they go all the
way through, Like that's just really really impressive. Yeah, and
whatever Cantory shows up, bad things are following me. Yeah yeah,
(12:39):
oh yeah. It's always tough, man. That's always tough, you know, like, oh,
like they don't bring Jim Cantorian to say, hey, it's
gonna be sunshine seventy two degrees is gonna be awesome. No,
It's like when Swayze showed up as Dalton, you knew
Neil was a bad town. It's a bad stuff going on.
He's just hanging out. Dalton doesn't go in to just
say hey, if ladies night, don't worry about it. Yeah,
you know there's something going down at the Double Douce.
(13:00):
He tells you you need to be nice until it's
time to not be nice. Right, So how it goes?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Fox Sports Radio, the Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
One more.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
NFL schedule review to get to because it's getting a
lot of attention, and I gotta be honest, I got
about it to be okay. There's a lot of attention
on the RAMS schedule release, which is a Napoleon Dynamite homage,
and you know me, I'd like anything with that, but
like kind of midway through again, like like sometimes I
(15:19):
just got a little bored, Like Okay, I get it.
And and some of this stuff is entertaining, but I
just felt like midway through, I'm like, okay, I've seen this,
and yeah, it's okay. I mean, now, hey, the tether
ball at the end is great, but it's just like
it's like the same thing. It's just he's playing the
you know, the the ram mascots playing tether ball at
the end. He was there for about a minute. Okay,
(15:40):
I get that, And that's great. It's a great homage.
The thing is, it's a great homage to Napoleon Dynamite.
It just could have been funnier, right, Like, yeah, some
parts it could have been like and that at the
end where he's doing the tether ball, like, okay, you
could have made that funnier. I get that. It looks
just like the movie, but okay, it could be fine. Again,
I had a little disappointed about it. Where's Uncle Rico? Yeah, well,
(16:01):
he's throwing the football over mountain. Where's he? I mean,
he makes an appearance. Maybe I bump him up, Coach
puts him in the fourth quarter. They once Because I'm
not gonna lie on the grand scale of movies that
are really greatly celebrated, Napoleon Dynamite is not on the
list of movies that I pushed to the forefront of Hey,
let's go rewatch that. You think it is not my thing,
(16:22):
you think people want to fight me. I'm wearing these
bad boys now it's Napoleon Dynamite is one of those
movies where you see it the first time and you go, Okay,
am I seeing an absolute classic or is this just
missing the marks? Yeah? It was. Some of the stuff
was just so incredibly funny, and Kip the brother was
so funny. Like the Napoleon Dynamite character, I thought was Okay,
(16:45):
he's fun and he's got some moments, but overall, like
the the the stuff with with him and Pedro got
a little long. But the Ddrich Bader and and Kit
like I'm laughing out loudest, and obviously with Uncle Rico, uh,
is so incredibly funny. But it's not the It's not
the first comedy where people think it's awesome and I'm like,
(17:06):
you know, it's it's halfway awesome. Like there's a lot
of great fun stuff in it that's absolutely legendary. Some
of it's just it gets a little bit longer. Yeah,
old rule of thumb. This stuff in life in general.
It's just not me right, Not everything was made with
my face of hey, go entertain that guy. Now, it's
funny you say that, because this gets to our next story,
(17:27):
that this was clearly made where they wanted to have
something for everyone. Very polarizing story. Today. The World Cup
is now going to have its first ever halftime show. Yeah, okay,
a big deal, right, big, big announcement. Oh yeah, huge announcement,
huge stars, and the halftime show and halftime of the
World Cup halftime of soccer games are about fifteen minutes
(17:50):
and it's going to be Madonna, Shakira and BTS. Right now.
I saw this and I said, oh, I can see
this coming from a mile away. The first time in
a meeting. Who are we gonna get? They go, let's
get somebody for every age group out there. We'll get
Madonna for gen xers, we'll get Shakira for millennials, and
we'll get BTS for gen Z boom, and we got it.
(18:12):
And that's who's doing the show. There's something for everybody.
We got to make sure we got something for everybody.
We've got gen X, we got millennials, we got gen Z,
we got Madonna, we got Shakira, we have BTS. We're
good Shakira with another anthem, right because she's done anthems before.
Uh and you know for big soccer tournaments. We talk
about Madonna, who's been played a ton on the radio
(18:34):
the last couple of weeks after that appearance with Sabrina
Carpenter and everything that runs through and then BTS. But
it was the video of you know, Coplay and Chris
Martin with the Muppets. He's like producing it, right, like
Chris Martin's producing the halftime show or he's coordinating. He's
(18:54):
got some official title, but he was doing the announcement
with muppets. Yeah, which is cool. He got him and
Elmo hanging out. Yeah. Look, and it's been a big
time the last few days for you know music from
the you know throwback music is like the Rolling Stones
have a new album out. I can't wait. Came out,
like it's like, wow, okay, we're going back now. Man,
(19:14):
don't jump go away, man. But they ruled out a
tour for this year, but Keith says maybe next year.
The first thing we need for this is we need
we need to act for halftime that can do five
minutes they got enough music for five minutes. And when
somebody who is gonna get to the people that are
over fifty, we gotta get someone new, people who between
thirty and fifty, and then everybody under thirty who we
(19:37):
got it coming? Oh oh okay Madonna, Yeah, well should
do anything. Okay, that's right, we got well. Oh Shakira okay, great.
Oh she's ProAb and beat. Oh yeah, it's a big
comeback for BTS. Okay, yeah, let's book them all, book
them all. Great. Well, there you go, and Madonna pretended
to be British for a while. Sure, Sure we got that. Sure,
I was kind of surprised. I'm still starting to make
the rounds again that you too wasn't cycled in on
(19:59):
some level. You know, Madonna's got a lot of dance
fun songs. Shakira's got dance fun songs. Everybody's gonna go
crazy when BTS. Yeah, where the streets have no name.
When you two gets out there, I think you want
a vibe of yeah, let's dance. I'm excited. And when
you two gets out there, you're like, oh, I gotta
think about this song. Well, they could play this stuff
from Zeropa means a lot. There's a lot of meaning
(20:21):
going on with this was the Fly come on even
better than the real. We're gonna play one and you
can decide which level you want to meet it at.
Let's go. I just go back to The Simpsons when
You two is playing and Bono says, hang on, the
man's got something to say. Oh all right, wow? I
mean they tribute to the Garbage Man might be one
(20:43):
of their favorite, their best songs they've ever done in
the thirty eight or but I'm in four seasons. They
just want give me something fun that I can do.
All right, that's great, and you two is like, yeah,
I gotta think about this. I just saw they were
doing a performance the other day, so that's top of
mind of They're starting, you know, to circulate a little
bit more. This is not a rebel song, alight. I'm
(21:04):
going to get a drink. I'm not gonna watch. I'm
just gonna have fun. I'm done it, man, it's just
giant TV's I can't believe people are talking about this
like it's BTS's comeback, Like that's a bill pop, like
they were the biggest band in the world. It's taking
them a year and a half to come out with
something new because they were on tour for like five
years they were. Now suddenly it's their comeback. I'm bts.
I'm like, blank, you man, we're the biggest K pop
(21:25):
band in the war. You got k pop demon Hunters
because of us. Yeah, but it's a different, different animal
now right. You don't stop right Like a shark, you
gotta keep swimming. Like Metallic has been on tour forever.
Guns and Roses as soon as they got the not
in this lifetime tour starting, it's never stopped. But no, no,
they're grateful dead. It's like they're coming back. And I
just I just heard the UH on the radio the
(21:47):
other day going Guns and Roses for the first time
playing the Rose Bowl. I'm like, oh my god, they've
never played the Rose They were going back. They're going back,
Ice Cubes the opener, let's go. Yeah, I would really
like it some point. How about Guns and Rows? How
about you get in and do some new music. They
got a couple of new songs. Yeah, but they're not
very good. So I'm like, okay, now I'll go back
on the road. May maybe not so much for you
(22:07):
with the new songs. I mean as I wear a
Duff McCay and sure we sit here tonight. I wish
they were. I'm like, they're gonna they have one more
album and then that we can listen to for the
rest of our lives. It's gonna be awesome. And I
hear those two songs and I go, yeah, maybe not,
maybe no, maybe they don't have any more songs. Maybe
maybe they're done. Okay they wrote them all yeah, No.
It's just always curious when you decide. I'd love to
be in that room as names are being bandied about,
(22:30):
like what about it, No, too volatile? What about this guy? Nope?
Too political? What about that? Oh? They get this dance
And they've been like cause it's all singles now, it's
not albums. It's yeah, touring, its merch a quick video
and whether you can get into someone's Spotify street. So yeah,
bts the Richard. So sometimes we like to do stuff
(22:53):
where sports entertainment intersect. We stretch our legs of that.
No other show has the number of clubs in our
bag that we do. But sometimes our world and the
world of entertainment really gets dangerously close, like we I
could like rip through the fabric and go from one
world to the other, ripped from the headline. I mean,
and I can't stop thinking about this last night. Do
(23:18):
you think they would have barred him at the door? Here?
Where are our studio? Is about forty yards away is
the Blue Dog Tavern, and I go there for dinner
probably a couple of times a month, right, Chili Wings.
I go there a couple times a month. It's great.
They have all the TVs on, so if I get
up to work early enough, oh, you know, the traffic cooperates.
(23:40):
I got some time. I'm gonna go get something to
eat there. And they have like four or five TVs,
so I get always get whatever big national game is on. Right,
they don't go in depth going with the MLB package,
but like, hey, I got a couple of NBA playoff games,
NBA playoff game and NHL game, so watch and I'll
have dinner. Last night, I parked the car and I said, oh,
I think I can go up there. It's a quarter
to c cause I can go up there. I can
(24:00):
watch a basketball game, I can watch the hockey. I
could do that. But then I said, no, I really
want to watch the Mets because they were playing the Tigers.
I'm like, you know, it was a close game exactly,
and they're not gonna have the Mets on there, but
they're gonna we can have the Mets on here, so
I can sit in the kitchen with our four TVs
and watch them, and I can put the Mets came on,
and I'm like, okay, so I came in to watch
(24:23):
the Mets, so that you came in last night saw
me where I'm eating, We're watching them watching all the games,
and I'm watching the Mets. The Mets one. I thought
it was great. Then I wake up today and I
see the number one story across the country is what
happened with Britney Spears last night. She went out to
dinner in a restaurant here in la and supposedly there
was some crazy, erratic behavior. She was barking like a dog,
(24:46):
She walked around, She walked around the restaurant with a knife.
At all. This all, according to reports, did maybe she
wanted to help someone with their food. She she lit
a cigarette. They told her you can't smoke. They had
to put it out. The area where she eight was
was it was all kinds of crazy stuff there. When
they left, Britney Spears' reps all deny what happened. They
(25:06):
said she was barking, doing an impression of a dog.
She was no, I mean Blue Dog Cafe. But literally
the walls are literally yeah, with pictures blue dogs. That's
all the thing, like you bring your dog in. So
all of this is the biggest thing. Here's Britney Spears
her behavior. That's where she was at the Blue Dog Cafe.
(25:28):
Do you think someone prompted her like they were Bill
Mrie like a dog? Uh, I made a decision because
of the bleeping mets. I could have been there for that,
like you made the bad decision. Give everybody was getting
(25:49):
it apparently thinking you were getting it. They didn't even
know it was her until when all this stuff was happening,
Like they didn't know that that it was her. So yeah,
I would have got in. I would You wouldn't have
You're sure I would have been? Why they love me there?
I'm there all the time, and and what every time
I go in they get me a die coke right
away because they know all he wants to die coke.
That they love me there. I'm a guy, are just
(26:11):
looking out for you? I'm a dude. I'm a dude.
They would have let me in. I would have been there.
I could have seen it. I might have gotten video
of it. I could have sold the TMZ. I could
have made money. I could have done interviews all day
today and on the fuck because they trusted me. I'm
not just some dude at the day. Oh, this is
Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith, who was at the Blue
Dog Cafe last night. Uh, Jason would have to say, well,
(26:31):
I just want to say, Brittany and I are dating now.
Who knew that that was the record? Scratch me? I
had a brain freezer either. I don't know my mind. Again,
I don't know how it would have went. I could
have walked in. She would have said who is that guy?
And I would have said woman, Maniza woman? Who would
have said woman? She was you're that Mets fan. I
(26:52):
hear a lot about it. Go, yeah, that's me. You
could have worn that knife. I mean, you don't know.
I could have gone badly for you. I say, sometimes
I run, sometimes I hide, sometimes I'm scared of you.
I'd just start throwing her yeah lyrics. I mean like so,
I don't know, Like, like, if I had video, I
could have sold it maybe, But now you're exploiting her.
(27:13):
Done all the interviews. I could have done the interviews,
but and then here's Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith. And
you might have had to live with that and might
not might have been on TMZ with Harvey. Is that
Harvey still do TMS? Thanks still on? I'd have been
on that. I don't know he was getting yelled at.
I'd have been on CNN. I've been on Fox News.
I've been everywhere. Man, I'd have been everywhere last night
or today with that story. I was there. I was there, man,
(27:36):
past me. I gave up watching the Mets to go
see that. And this is what I saw that I
was there for that. She was doing an impression of
a multie. I might have been able to clear her
on stuff. No, this stuff never happened. This. You might
have been able to get her into the studio a
to tell her side of the story and let's go
through your life and career. Oh I would yeah. And
the thing is I would have kicked you out. You say, hey, Mike,
(27:56):
yeah you're out tonight. Why I had special guest in
the show. Well, Brittany, you sit right there, you sit
next to me, You sait right here, We're gonna guess
she would have stayed longer if I stayed in studio.
The only way she was leaving with Smith is if
he kidnapped her. Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa allegedly
nod say, come down here, get on the radio, and
(28:18):
we'll talk about whatever you want to talk about. You
want to talk about the Knicks, we'll talk about them.
We could do dog impressions. Sure, I mean whatever work.
She's from New Orleans. You want to talk about what
you want to talk about the Saints? What do you
want to do? We'll talk about Saints. We talked about
LSU and we'll talk about Lane Kiffin. Whatever you want, no, no, no, whatever.
We did enough Lane whatever you find it on the web.
You know all our podcasts and the week that was.
(28:38):
We could do a duet together, Will you sing? Go
New York, Go New York, go with me? Prompt a
couple of songs and now those become bits yep yep, right,
really it's now an intro to uh, you know, a
conversation about random pop culture. That's how close I was.
Had I just made that decision to walk in, I
would have been there for that but you couldn't walk
(28:59):
forty yards anybody want to that one liner? But again
the Mets stop me from this. They stopped me from
this experience, the Mets. No, no, no, But you keep choosing
the Mets, Like if you keep making bad decisions, who's
who's that fault? Who needs to look in the mirror?
Due if you didn't do your work and you left,
(29:19):
whose fault is not my fault? I had fault. I
had a lifetime of bad decisions. Man, right, you picked
the Mets. You picked the Mets again over wings, dying
coke and eventually maybe an encounter, engagement or just chaotic
experience with Britney Spears. At least I got to see
more of the ewing era and we swept the Tigers
(29:41):
and it's okay, but I mean, really, that's come on. Now,
you're rationalizing and and trying to do hindsight twenty twenty
quarterback and going, well, i'd be I did get to
see you win. What if they lost? I gotta lost you.
I gotta find something positive because it could have been
on TMZ. Here's Britney Spears looking radiant and glowing with
(30:03):
this mystery man wearing a Mets hat and Mets shorts
and orange socks. We're trying to find out who he is.
Don't worry, we'll have it for you coming up soon.
Sources say this is Jason Smith, a Fox Sports trader. Oh,
we should have had this right away. Yeah, we should
have known. All they would need to do is post
that and someone in our greater sphere at how about
this guy if it has Mets, this Mets, that Mets.
(30:27):
The others like, yeah, Smith, because I did my Mets
tea shirt like you did. Yeah. No, that's a missed
opportunity because this area there's a lot of stars that
wandered through, I mean gym across the street and maybe
meet some people I would have gotten in Frost there's
there was nobody out there keeping people out, ronson and
(30:47):
cat locked out like you were at the Met Gallery
behind again Met Mets again. Comes chose the Mets over
going to get wings. I know, like, whether you knew
Britney Spears was there or not. If the fact that
you chose that, it means are you feeling if you
(31:09):
told me in two thousand, right in two thousand, Hey,
your lifetime love of the Mets is going to stop
you from meeting Britney Spears in a couple of decades,
I would have said, okay, so I have two decades
to wean myself away from the Mets, because I don't
want to blow this right. I want to be able
to meet her. You had your shot, I did, I did,
and you blew it. I did, baby one. You blew
it for all of us. I had that shot one
(31:30):
more time and I didn't work. We could have all
been living vicariously through your your lens of the chaos
that allegedly ensued at the Blue Dog Tavern. Sometimes the
Mets can be very toxic.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Your selfish bastard? Well, I mean that's
what people are asking you to be right now, big
behind the scenes conversation of when is it okay to
forsake and abandon a lifetime dedicated to the proposition of
a team be your favorite? I got I always say
(00:51):
the same thing. If I had made that choice when
I was a kid, I would have picked the Giants
and the Yankees. I'd have had the best sports life ever.
Can you do that like on your birth day? I
mean not eleven eleven, like when you make a wish
at night or in the morning or anything, but like
on your birthday? Is that where you can do a
jumping off point naturally or instead of kissing someone at
the stroke of midnight. You can't just jump to the
(01:12):
Yankees and the jo I can't do that. Well. I mean,
it's been a wheel, it's been my whole life not
liking them. I can't just suddenly like them, so then
spend the last half enjoying them. Although I will say
this like, like you how many times and you can't.
I remember, I remember, uh, this this one girl from
(01:34):
college I worked with at the radio station music and
I did yeah no no, no, no, no no no, it's
a short one. And uh I did the morning show
at the radio station and this this this this girl.
We just didn't get along. It was fine crew, and
she was that was she she was. She worked for
the stage. Sometimes she did stuff on you know, news
(01:54):
in the morning and stuff, but sometimes she was she
did stuff outside. She just worked the station. And we
just didn't. You know, we're a couple of people that
saw eye to eye, but not not bad, not like
we hated each other. I remember my friend said to
me when we came in, like she came in, she
asked me a question. I I talked to her and
it was just like we were kind of short with
each other. And my friend said, little tension there. I go, no,
(02:17):
we can't know, we just don't get along.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
We just don't head After that, then, so then we
get to the end of the year and we were
having like the end of the year party, end of
the year, you know, uh thing, and she was graduating, right,
she's graduating, you know, going finishing and uh.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
We were at the party and I said to one
of the other girls that worked at the station that
she knew but she was friends with, said, oh, you know, yeah,
you know it. It was kind of fun, you know,
seeing you and and you know, you and her, you know,
battle back and forth here. I said, oh, yeah, yeah,
we just we just you know, didn't really see eye
to eye. But that's okay. She goes, are you kidding?
(02:53):
She really liked you. I said, what, Yeah, she liked you.
I said, oh, that changes everything I would have we
could have dated. Yet she liked I didn't know that.
Oh okay that was and then puffed out, yeah that
pumped you got got, you got got. I was like,
the kid didn't know a girl liked him. Well, I
(03:15):
didn't know that that was the way. Well, listen, it's
like eight when you're eight year old. Thing was I
was still on the playground because I never thought about
because I was a sophomore and she was a senior,
so I never really thought about I'm like, okay, I'm
still at that point where okay, no. When I got
to be a junior, that's when really the kid showed up.
Hey now I'm here, not junior high school. But I
(03:36):
never no, no, junior in college. That was really yeah.
So uh because that's when I started doing the morning
show every day and all this stuff, and I was like, yeah,
he was feeling himself a little bit, look at me. Yeah,
But like I never thought, oh, she's a senior. We're
not gonna date. We're not gonna date. She doesn't like
me anyways. I was like, oh no, no, that we
could have dated. Oh my god, that would have been awesome.
I was like, oh, yeah, but I can't do that
(03:57):
with sports teams. I can't go from yeah again, No
I can't. Who says I can't shook No, it's the
sports rule book, man, I got I got on my phone.
I got it right here. I mean, I would mock
you incessantly because if it's gonna make you feel better
about yourself, how can I want to see that sports.
Don't want to see the kid sports rule book right there?
(04:18):
Oh sorry, I shouldn't see. Sorry, whoa, whoa, whoa? That
was in which camera? Was that into? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So uh look schedule release day in the NFL. Speaking
of my teams, the way to hit the brakes and
turn a hard left. Well, let me look, you know,
I like giving the grades out. Speaking of school, we're
giving grades out. I gave a C plus to the
Jets because it was just okay, was boring. Like I said,
it was just okay. It was just okay. But the
(04:46):
thing is, I don't want to fail anybody because I'm
that kind of professor. But because the the creativity that
each team used is great. Like it's where I would
stay in front of the class and go, you all
have done a tremendous job. The effort is there every
you guys are just absolutely going for it, and I
love it. But I gotta give grades. So here's the thing.
(05:07):
Nobody failed. All right, there you go, because the effort
was there. Nobody failed. But there are some a's, there's
some bees, there's some c's. Right, Patriots now fail, Patriots
Patriots get to see oh easily, they get to see.
But as much as I love puppies, but I get
it because it's like, well, we have to be is
really with the whole Rabel Rassini stuff, we gotta be
as non threatening as possible. Man donation to the Human
(05:28):
Fund and to the you know, pet Rescue of the
Greater Can we do more than puppy Can we get
some kittens in there too? Nah? Too, lie, you can't
get the kittens all. Let's just do puppy bowl. What's
it cost to get the McLaughlin suck? Can we do that? Uh?
The Green Bay Packers and their claimation release that borrows
(05:50):
a little bit of from Dusk Till Dawn, that gets
an A. That's a fantastic And the fact they bring
in a claimation Clay Matthews like that, it's good Man,
straight out of Scooby Doo. Yeah, it's not too long
because a lot of these dragon a little too long.
Not too long. The Packers was fantastic. You can make
a half hour movie out of that. Watched and it
(06:11):
looked like, you know, when when you see the claimation
for Rudolph or year without a Santa Claus like, that's
kind of what it looked like. And it was really
cool California raisins back in the day. Oh, it was
absolutely yea clamation cheese curds running a muck. Oh yeah,
the cheese curds attacking. Yeah, no, it's great. The little
(06:34):
used short lived mascot and I would have gotten away
with it. Yeah, I heard him motivate. He was like,
what was it from the seventies? Alan? Right from from
Barbie Allen Allen. We discontinued to Alan, how only was
a No. That was a good one. Though. As much
as I hate the Packers, the Seahawks release a plus.
(06:59):
The entire rel is all different fragrances of the different
teams they're playing, and they're all hysterical. But the best
one is the guy dressed up as the cowboys and
they go I'm sorry, and the interviewer says, I'm sorry,
Circa you tell me what scent are you wearing? He goes, oh,
I'm wearing nostalgia ninety six. No, it's a good one. Yeah.
(07:22):
Joel McHale shows up. That was Marshawn lynch Capper. Oh
what takes you to a whole other level. But I
mean when he goes, I'm wearing nostalgia, nineties. Yeah, but
it starts and you're like, what the hell am I watching?
Because the guy's kind of dressed like Indiana Jones and
starts talking and like okay, and then it's like all
right now we're in a perfume ad and and we
(07:44):
roll from there. So it it sold well. They did
a good job. Oh outstanding. Well they're the super Bowl champs.
If you don't have an A plus schedule release coming
off of the Super Bowl, when are you gonna happen?
But you don't need to, Oh you need All you
need to do is all You've raised the bar. Now
you're right, it's just a trophy, and here's the schedule, Like,
you're not gonna watch you know, no exactly, we put
(08:07):
our the money's on the field. Can you tell me
what you're nostalgion? Cowboys took a incoming across the Yeah, well,
of course they do. Of course they do. Cowboys, Rabel
and Rassini, Yeah, yeah, juice. The Los Angeles Chargers B
plus B plus for the Chargers. Uh, when I look
(08:31):
at it, is it at the level of the A
of some of the other ones. Know, But man, I'll
tell you their Halo presentation. The work into that right away.
I go, I could never play Halo because I wouldn't
be able to. I can't put do stuff on the
screen like that. I can't do it that best. So
that's the thing. You need to rewatch this about probably
fifty times to catch all the individual one liners as
(08:54):
you're going that thing like that, Like if you can't
catch like, that's the whole thing is Like the repeated
viewings are great, but like a couple of them are
flat and I'm like, oh, okay, it's up and down.
But it's like do I need to pause this? Like
go screen like yeah, am I missing something? Or frame review?
And I don't know Halo very well. No, And that's why.
(09:14):
And that's a hard they had that. I mean, they
did a good thing with the Texans and Bears. The
Stroud Caleb Williams thing was funny as well.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Well.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
The Jets one was the best to it was the Jets.
It was get one interception Jets, but it should have
started it ended after like Week one eliminated done the Jets.
Elimit five second video or four seconds the Jets don't
play four seconds and then a snap or you just
have you just have someone carrying the torch out, the
flag out, and then it just was eliminated, the torch
(09:44):
and eliminated. But I mean, like that second video, that's
the only thinking. But that was an incredibly well done it,
Like the Chargers PR team is phenomenal. There's a lot,
but there's a lot to it, right, The substation one
for San Francisco with the text, the rat of trying
to get in touch with Brandon Ayuk was pretty funny.
(10:05):
Just a bunch of the individual parts, but again there's
there's a lot of reading and trying to keep your
eyes focused on the screen. There's a lot going on.
So as an old man, it taxed me. Yeah, it was,
And I like, like I said, I mean, I'm watching
going I could never play Halo like I need. I'm
one of the I don't sit here and show my
(10:25):
age all. I can still do stuff. I can still
do stuff now I'm in my fifties, and I'm like,
I need the least involved controller possible to play video games.
It's funny, right, My daughter watched and you don't have
that in Halo. No watches a lot of like competitions
some different video games. But she was showing me one
of this minecraft thing where someone was being accused of
(10:46):
cheating and doing all this, and the way the screen flashed,
I'm like, the hell do you pay attention? How do
you know what's going on? Like and she goes, no, no, no,
you get used to this, Like I don't think I
want to. Yeah. Yeah. It's like there's just all these
flash I got a headache, I got I'm sorry, I
got a headache. I gotta take I gotta take some ass,
but I canna take some leave and I'm done. So
(11:06):
what's this guy doing? Now? He's building this up? It's like,
but everything he's not really doing. What get one interception
and the balls just fall all over and here you
hear the you hear the calls going, oh a near
miss uninterception by the Jets. Another A but it's an
A minus the Saints and their weather related release. You had,
(11:34):
you had Hoda doing the whole thing, and you had
a retired uh meteorologist legend in New Orleans doing that,
and she's taking shots at all the teams. That's outstanding.
I was like, WHOA. The the overall production value not
what some other teams, but you're going for something different
watching the choke advisory to the jockey advisory. Wow. Man, Like, yeah,
(11:57):
I'm giving the Saints minus right off the front. They
jumped on you, So yeah, next level there. Maybe maybe
I could have used a little little more in terms
of the production and theatricality. But the retired new meteorologist
she was awesome. Yeah. I'm like, I don't know who
this is. I wonder. I was like, what what's her? Eyemg.
(12:17):
It's no, she's actually a meteor She's like it's like
a meteorologist emeritus for New Orleans, for like the city.
It's something crazy like that. I have a job that way.
It's what It's amazing. I mean, look again, you know
Jim Cantori is in it, like they go all the
way through, Like that's just really really impressive. Yeah, and
whatever Cantory shows up, bad things are following me. Yeah yeah,
(12:39):
oh yeah. It's always tough, man. That's always tough, you know, like, oh,
like they don't bring Jim Cantorian to say, hey, it's
gonna be sunshine seventy two degrees is gonna be awesome. No,
It's like when Swayze showed up as Dalton, you knew
Neil was a bad town. It's a bad stuff going on.
He's just hanging out. Dalton doesn't go in to just
say hey, if ladies night, don't worry about it. Yeah,
you know there's something going down at the Double Douce.
(13:00):
He tells you you need to be nice until it's
time to not be nice. Right, So how it goes?

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Fox Sports Radio, the Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
One more.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
NFL schedule review to get to because it's getting a
lot of attention, and I gotta be honest, I got
about it to be okay. There's a lot of attention
on the RAMS schedule release, which is a Napoleon Dynamite homage,
and you know me, I'd like anything with that, but
like kind of midway through again, like like sometimes I
(15:19):
just got a little bored, Like Okay, I get it.
And and some of this stuff is entertaining, but I
just felt like midway through, I'm like, okay, I've seen this,
and yeah, it's okay. I mean, now, hey, the tether
ball at the end is great, but it's just like
it's like the same thing. It's just he's playing the
you know, the the ram mascots playing tether ball at
the end. He was there for about a minute. Okay,
(15:40):
I get that, And that's great. It's a great homage.
The thing is, it's a great homage to Napoleon Dynamite.
It just could have been funnier, right, Like, yeah, some
parts it could have been like and that at the
end where he's doing the tether ball, like, okay, you
could have made that funnier. I get that. It looks
just like the movie, but okay, it could be fine. Again,
I had a little disappointed about it. Where's Uncle Rico? Yeah, well,
(16:01):
he's throwing the football over mountain. Where's he? I mean,
he makes an appearance. Maybe I bump him up, Coach
puts him in the fourth quarter. They once Because I'm
not gonna lie on the grand scale of movies that
are really greatly celebrated, Napoleon Dynamite is not on the
list of movies that I pushed to the forefront of Hey,
let's go rewatch that. You think it is not my thing,
(16:22):
you think people want to fight me. I'm wearing these
bad boys now it's Napoleon Dynamite is one of those
movies where you see it the first time and you go, Okay,
am I seeing an absolute classic or is this just
missing the marks? Yeah? It was. Some of the stuff
was just so incredibly funny, and Kip the brother was
so funny. Like the Napoleon Dynamite character, I thought was Okay,
(16:45):
he's fun and he's got some moments, but overall, like
the the the stuff with with him and Pedro got
a little long. But the Ddrich Bader and and Kit
like I'm laughing out loudest, and obviously with Uncle Rico, uh,
is so incredibly funny. But it's not the It's not
the first comedy where people think it's awesome and I'm like,
(17:06):
you know, it's it's halfway awesome. Like there's a lot
of great fun stuff in it that's absolutely legendary. Some
of it's just it gets a little bit longer. Yeah,
old rule of thumb. This stuff in life in general.
It's just not me right, Not everything was made with
my face of hey, go entertain that guy. Now, it's
funny you say that, because this gets to our next story,
(17:27):
that this was clearly made where they wanted to have
something for everyone. Very polarizing story. Today. The World Cup
is now going to have its first ever halftime show. Yeah, okay,
a big deal, right, big, big announcement. Oh yeah, huge announcement,
huge stars, and the halftime show and halftime of the
World Cup halftime of soccer games are about fifteen minutes
(17:50):
and it's going to be Madonna, Shakira and BTS. Right now.
I saw this and I said, oh, I can see
this coming from a mile away. The first time in
a meeting. Who are we gonna get? They go, let's
get somebody for every age group out there. We'll get
Madonna for gen xers, we'll get Shakira for millennials, and
we'll get BTS for gen Z boom, and we got it.
(18:12):
And that's who's doing the show. There's something for everybody.
We got to make sure we got something for everybody.
We've got gen X, we got millennials, we got gen Z,
we got Madonna, we got Shakira, we have BTS. We're
good Shakira with another anthem, right because she's done anthems before.
Uh and you know for big soccer tournaments. We talk
about Madonna, who's been played a ton on the radio
(18:34):
the last couple of weeks after that appearance with Sabrina
Carpenter and everything that runs through and then BTS. But
it was the video of you know, Coplay and Chris
Martin with the Muppets. He's like producing it, right, like
Chris Martin's producing the halftime show or he's coordinating. He's
(18:54):
got some official title, but he was doing the announcement
with muppets. Yeah, which is cool. He got him and
Elmo hanging out. Yeah. Look, and it's been a big
time the last few days for you know music from
the you know throwback music is like the Rolling Stones
have a new album out. I can't wait. Came out,
like it's like, wow, okay, we're going back now. Man,
(19:14):
don't jump go away, man. But they ruled out a
tour for this year, but Keith says maybe next year.
The first thing we need for this is we need
we need to act for halftime that can do five
minutes they got enough music for five minutes. And when
somebody who is gonna get to the people that are
over fifty, we gotta get someone new, people who between
thirty and fifty, and then everybody under thirty who we
(19:37):
got it coming? Oh oh okay Madonna, Yeah, well should
do anything. Okay, that's right, we got well. Oh Shakira okay, great.
Oh she's ProAb and beat. Oh yeah, it's a big
comeback for BTS. Okay, yeah, let's book them all, book
them all. Great. Well, there you go, and Madonna pretended
to be British for a while. Sure, Sure we got that. Sure,
I was kind of surprised. I'm still starting to make
the rounds again that you too wasn't cycled in on
(19:59):
some level. You know, Madonna's got a lot of dance
fun songs. Shakira's got dance fun songs. Everybody's gonna go
crazy when BTS. Yeah, where the streets have no name.
When you two gets out there, I think you want
a vibe of yeah, let's dance. I'm excited. And when
you two gets out there, you're like, oh, I gotta
think about this song. Well, they could play this stuff
from Zeropa means a lot. There's a lot of meaning
(20:21):
going on with this was the Fly come on even
better than the real. We're gonna play one and you
can decide which level you want to meet it at.
Let's go. I just go back to The Simpsons when
You two is playing and Bono says, hang on, the
man's got something to say. Oh all right, wow? I
mean they tribute to the Garbage Man might be one
(20:43):
of their favorite, their best songs they've ever done in
the thirty eight or but I'm in four seasons. They
just want give me something fun that I can do.
All right, that's great, and you two is like, yeah,
I gotta think about this. I just saw they were
doing a performance the other day, so that's top of
mind of They're starting, you know, to circulate a little
bit more. This is not a rebel song, alight. I'm
(21:04):
going to get a drink. I'm not gonna watch. I'm
just gonna have fun. I'm done it, man, it's just
giant TV's I can't believe people are talking about this
like it's BTS's comeback, Like that's a bill pop, like
they were the biggest band in the world. It's taking
them a year and a half to come out with
something new because they were on tour for like five
years they were. Now suddenly it's their comeback. I'm bts.
I'm like, blank, you man, we're the biggest K pop
(21:25):
band in the war. You got k pop demon Hunters
because of us. Yeah, but it's a different, different animal
now right. You don't stop right Like a shark, you
gotta keep swimming. Like Metallic has been on tour forever.
Guns and Roses as soon as they got the not
in this lifetime tour starting, it's never stopped. But no, no,
they're grateful dead. It's like they're coming back. And I
just I just heard the UH on the radio the
(21:47):
other day going Guns and Roses for the first time
playing the Rose Bowl. I'm like, oh my god, they've
never played the Rose They were going back. They're going back,
Ice Cubes the opener, let's go. Yeah, I would really
like it some point. How about Guns and Rows? How
about you get in and do some new music. They
got a couple of new songs. Yeah, but they're not
very good. So I'm like, okay, now I'll go back
on the road. May maybe not so much for you
(22:07):
with the new songs. I mean as I wear a
Duff McCay and sure we sit here tonight. I wish
they were. I'm like, they're gonna they have one more
album and then that we can listen to for the
rest of our lives. It's gonna be awesome. And I
hear those two songs and I go, yeah, maybe not,
maybe no, maybe they don't have any more songs. Maybe
maybe they're done. Okay they wrote them all yeah, No.
It's just always curious when you decide. I'd love to
be in that room as names are being bandied about,
(22:30):
like what about it, No, too volatile? What about this guy? Nope?
Too political? What about that? Oh? They get this dance
And they've been like cause it's all singles now, it's
not albums. It's yeah, touring, its merch a quick video
and whether you can get into someone's Spotify street. So yeah,
bts the Richard. So sometimes we like to do stuff
(22:53):
where sports entertainment intersect. We stretch our legs of that.
No other show has the number of clubs in our
bag that we do. But sometimes our world and the
world of entertainment really gets dangerously close, like we I
could like rip through the fabric and go from one
world to the other, ripped from the headline. I mean,
and I can't stop thinking about this last night. Do
(23:18):
you think they would have barred him at the door? Here?
Where are our studio? Is about forty yards away is
the Blue Dog Tavern, and I go there for dinner
probably a couple of times a month, right, Chili Wings.
I go there a couple times a month. It's great.
They have all the TVs on, so if I get
up to work early enough, oh, you know, the traffic cooperates.
(23:40):
I got some time. I'm gonna go get something to
eat there. And they have like four or five TVs,
so I get always get whatever big national game is on. Right,
they don't go in depth going with the MLB package,
but like, hey, I got a couple of NBA playoff games,
NBA playoff game and NHL game, so watch and I'll
have dinner. Last night, I parked the car and I said, oh,
I think I can go up there. It's a quarter
to c cause I can go up there. I can
(24:00):
watch a basketball game, I can watch the hockey. I
could do that. But then I said, no, I really
want to watch the Mets because they were playing the Tigers.
I'm like, you know, it was a close game exactly,
and they're not gonna have the Mets on there, but
they're gonna we can have the Mets on here, so
I can sit in the kitchen with our four TVs
and watch them, and I can put the Mets came on,
and I'm like, okay, so I came in to watch
(24:23):
the Mets, so that you came in last night saw
me where I'm eating, We're watching them watching all the games,
and I'm watching the Mets. The Mets one. I thought
it was great. Then I wake up today and I
see the number one story across the country is what
happened with Britney Spears last night. She went out to
dinner in a restaurant here in la and supposedly there
was some crazy, erratic behavior. She was barking like a dog,
(24:46):
She walked around, She walked around the restaurant with a knife.
At all. This all, according to reports, did maybe she
wanted to help someone with their food. She she lit
a cigarette. They told her you can't smoke. They had
to put it out. The area where she eight was
was it was all kinds of crazy stuff there. When
they left, Britney Spears' reps all deny what happened. They
(25:06):
said she was barking, doing an impression of a dog.
She was no, I mean Blue Dog Cafe. But literally
the walls are literally yeah, with pictures blue dogs. That's
all the thing, like you bring your dog in. So
all of this is the biggest thing. Here's Britney Spears
her behavior. That's where she was at the Blue Dog Cafe.
(25:28):
Do you think someone prompted her like they were Bill
Mrie like a dog? Uh, I made a decision because
of the bleeping mets. I could have been there for that,
like you made the bad decision. Give everybody was getting
(25:49):
it apparently thinking you were getting it. They didn't even
know it was her until when all this stuff was happening,
Like they didn't know that that it was her. So yeah,
I would have got in. I would You wouldn't have
You're sure I would have been? Why they love me there?
I'm there all the time, and and what every time
I go in they get me a die coke right
away because they know all he wants to die coke.
That they love me there. I'm a guy, are just
(26:11):
looking out for you? I'm a dude. I'm a dude.
They would have let me in. I would have been there.
I could have seen it. I might have gotten video
of it. I could have sold the TMZ. I could
have made money. I could have done interviews all day
today and on the fuck because they trusted me. I'm
not just some dude at the day. Oh, this is
Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith, who was at the Blue
Dog Cafe last night. Uh, Jason would have to say, well,
(26:31):
I just want to say, Brittany and I are dating now.
Who knew that that was the record? Scratch me? I
had a brain freezer either. I don't know my mind. Again,
I don't know how it would have went. I could
have walked in. She would have said who is that guy?
And I would have said woman, Maniza woman? Who would
have said woman? She was you're that Mets fan. I
(26:52):
hear a lot about it. Go, yeah, that's me. You
could have worn that knife. I mean, you don't know.
I could have gone badly for you. I say, sometimes
I run, sometimes I hide, sometimes I'm scared of you.
I'd just start throwing her yeah lyrics. I mean like so,
I don't know, Like, like, if I had video, I
could have sold it maybe, But now you're exploiting her.
(27:13):
Done all the interviews. I could have done the interviews,
but and then here's Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith. And
you might have had to live with that and might
not might have been on TMZ with Harvey. Is that
Harvey still do TMS? Thanks still on? I'd have been
on that. I don't know he was getting yelled at.
I'd have been on CNN. I've been on Fox News.
I've been everywhere. Man, I'd have been everywhere last night
or today with that story. I was there. I was there, man,
(27:36):
past me. I gave up watching the Mets to go
see that. And this is what I saw that I
was there for that. She was doing an impression of
a multie. I might have been able to clear her
on stuff. No, this stuff never happened. This. You might
have been able to get her into the studio a
to tell her side of the story and let's go
through your life and career. Oh I would yeah. And
the thing is I would have kicked you out. You say, hey, Mike,
(27:56):
yeah you're out tonight. Why I had special guest in
the show. Well, Brittany, you sit right there, you sit
next to me, You sait right here, We're gonna guess
she would have stayed longer if I stayed in studio.
The only way she was leaving with Smith is if
he kidnapped her. Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa allegedly
nod say, come down here, get on the radio, and
(28:18):
we'll talk about whatever you want to talk about. You
want to talk about the Knicks, we'll talk about them.
We could do dog impressions. Sure, I mean whatever work.
She's from New Orleans. You want to talk about what
you want to talk about the Saints? What do you
want to do? We'll talk about Saints. We talked about
LSU and we'll talk about Lane Kiffin. Whatever you want, no, no, no, whatever.
We did enough Lane whatever you find it on the web.
You know all our podcasts and the week that was.
(28:38):
We could do a duet together, Will you sing? Go
New York, Go New York, go with me? Prompt a
couple of songs and now those become bits yep yep, right,
really it's now an intro to uh, you know, a
conversation about random pop culture. That's how close I was.
Had I just made that decision to walk in, I
would have been there for that but you couldn't walk
(28:59):
forty yards anybody want to that one liner? But again
the Mets stop me from this. They stopped me from
this experience, the Mets. No, no, no, But you keep choosing
the Mets, Like if you keep making bad decisions, who's
who's that fault? Who needs to look in the mirror?
Due if you didn't do your work and you left,
(29:19):
whose fault is not my fault? I had fault. I
had a lifetime of bad decisions. Man, right, you picked
the Mets. You picked the Mets again over wings, dying
coke and eventually maybe an encounter, engagement or just chaotic
experience with Britney Spears. At least I got to see
more of the ewing era and we swept the Tigers
(29:41):
and it's okay, but I mean, really, that's come on. Now,
you're rationalizing and and trying to do hindsight twenty twenty
quarterback and going, well, i'd be I did get to
see you win. What if they lost? I gotta lost you.
I gotta find something positive because it could have been
on TMZ. Here's Britney Spears looking radiant and glowing with
(30:03):
this mystery man wearing a Mets hat and Mets shorts
and orange socks. We're trying to find out who he is.
Don't worry, we'll have it for you coming up soon.
Sources say this is Jason Smith, a Fox Sports trader. Oh,
we should have had this right away. Yeah, we should
have known. All they would need to do is post
that and someone in our greater sphere at how about
this guy if it has Mets, this Mets, that Mets.
(30:27):
The others like, yeah, Smith, because I did my Mets
tea shirt like you did. Yeah. No, that's a missed
opportunity because this area there's a lot of stars that
wandered through, I mean gym across the street and maybe
meet some people I would have gotten in Frost there's
there was nobody out there keeping people out, ronson and
(30:47):
cat locked out like you were at the Met Gallery
behind again Met Mets again. Comes chose the Mets over
going to get wings. I know, like, whether you knew
Britney Spears was there or not. If the fact that
you chose that, it means are you feeling if you
(31:09):
told me in two thousand, right in two thousand, Hey,
your lifetime love of the Mets is going to stop
you from meeting Britney Spears in a couple of decades,
I would have said, okay, so I have two decades
to wean myself away from the Mets, because I don't
want to blow this right. I want to be able
to meet her. You had your shot, I did, I did,
and you blew it. I did, baby one. You blew
it for all of us. I had that shot one
(31:30):
more time and I didn't work. We could have all
been living vicariously through your your lens of the chaos
that allegedly ensued at the Blue Dog Tavern. Sometimes the
Mets can be very toxic.

Bleep! with Ana Navarro
Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
