had so far has been with Jaws, birthing the modern
(01:12):
era of movies. Right, Jaws in nineteen seventy five, fifty
years ago. Today, the modern era movie. The era of
movies has broken up into two eras, seventy five to
now and pre nineteen seventy five. Right, so far, we

years is, right, we talked about it.

gonna flip this around. Best movie pre nineteen seventy five
coming up in about twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Let's really outdate ourselves.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
No, it's for dude. You think people haven't seen I
haven't seen movies, but that are hot. People watch Godfather
all the time, by the way, Godfather is not at
the top of my list. But people have seen. People
have seen all these movies. Man.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Obviously Chinatown, okay.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Oh, Chinatown was terrific. It's good. Yeah, you go, but
you dressed up as did you go as uh as
Jake from Chinatown when you were a kid with the
band on Halloween?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
But butterfly bandage over your nose, in the trench coat
and hat.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I even went as Michael Douglas and Falling.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Down there you go. By the way, that.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Is one of the most underrated movies of all time.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Oh five sents eighty five cents, yeah, fifteen.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
That was such a big deal when it came out.
And this is back when, like very very few times now,
a movie will come out and give you conversation for
like a month, right, Like you say, movie comes out,
you talk about it for a couple of weeks, you
go on to the next one. But once in a while,
that movie, you know, probably like two or three movies
a year come out where they spawned big. There's such
(03:19):
big hits. They spawned big conversations for like a month after, right,
like Oppenheimer, Barbie did that, Top Gun, Maverick did that, right,
and it happens that way, And and like Falling Down
was one of those movies where we talked they was
a big social not social experiment, but just a big
reaction after that movie kept like for a month. It
was all people getting sick and tired of stuff and
(03:40):
what happened. And look at what happened in Des Moines, Iowa.
This is what happened here. Like that movie had had
a huge impact. That movie came out. Now that's like
something that would have been nominated and won Best Picture.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Well, and then you have a movie that did and
has never been seen again.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
In Traffic, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Oh yeah, I just want my.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, good luck trying to find traffic on anywhere. How
come they don't run traffic anymore? They've never run traffic. Then,
don't get me started with the game. The game is
another one that's in unbelievable. Oh hey, we just binged
that like a couple of months ago. You know, he's
always looking for a big action movie fun I said,
oh no, no, the game is terrific. It's the game
(04:24):
rated movie. Oh my god, it's so good. Yeah, I know.
I'm with you Frostburg on that the game was so so.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I think we decided that Michael Douglas is the most
underrated actor of all time.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
We haven't gotten into Romancing the Stone yet, haven't gotten
into basic instinct. Yeah, a lot streets of San Francisco
haven't gotten into that with him. Well, I mean Last Vegas. Yeah, okay, now,
now you just fell off a cliff right there with least. Hey, no,
Rob and I'm telling you about lastics like Romancing the
Stone and Wall Street and you're saying Last Vegas. Come on, yeah,
(04:58):
the only you know. I'm sorry, answer the phone. Jerry
Ferrara is calling in right now to agree. Go ahead, Greg, Greg,
grab the phone, I'm sure. Knock Drew Brees off of
hold and and and get to Jerry Ferrara. He wants
to get on the air.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Hey, it's al.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
He was also in uh ant Man and the Wasp.
It was Wall Street.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You just said that like you're eighty five years old.
I want to go see The ant Man and the Wasp.
You know, you know what, hurt, that's a good movie.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
You know what I revisited after after the passing of
Val Kilmer. Was Ghost in the Darkness?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
You know I saw that movie. I like the Ghost
Hated the Darkness? Okay?
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Or the Rose is obviously the American President. I mean
you can do you can do the whole catalog.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, yeah, real genius, Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
What was it the Kaminski project that he did with
Morgan Freeman?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh, I think so, oh wait, wait the can No,
that's the Kandinsky Method. What was Is that what I'm
thinking of? I think that's two different movies. No, no, no,
because he did a TV show, Frank Frank Kaminski never
did a movie. He played for Wisconsin bat been knocking
around the end of it was the Kaminski Method. Sports
(06:05):
Center all right, right, well Frothford knows a lot about
Frank Kaminski. There you go. Legend. Uh. But we're getting
set for Game seven of the NBA Finals on Stiday. Well,
got that again, we'll turn that on. It's ere coming
up in about twenty minutes. But Game seven set for Sunday. Finally,
the end of the season is here, the NBA Final
(06:25):
end And uh, you know, because you're thinking, okay, what
a great way to end, will be a great button
on the end of the season. Nope, two days later,
we got the NBA Draft. Let's go. I kind of
feel like I kind of feel like NBA fans are saying, Okay,
I really want the finals to end because I want
to get back in. I want to get back in
(06:46):
the conversation, right like me being in. I want the
Knicks to get back in the conversation. Baker fans want
to get back in the conversation. We want the draft,
and we want free agency, and we want it now now, now, now, now, now,
And I'm like, Okay, it's gonna seem weird, but hey,
NBA champion on Sunday. Draft is on Wednesday. I'm down
with that. I am absolutely good with that. It seems
(07:06):
like it's really fast, but hey, I'm okay with it.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Get them on, get them over, get them in right,
and then then they can go have their off season.
Get out of a banana boat. Dwayne Wade actually signed
a banana boat that someone brought to the Fanatics Fest today,
So I mean, you can get into your off season
for real. That's great, and all those people that are
on vacation, we'll finally get the phone call. They've either
been dreading or really been anxious and anticipating, you know,
(07:33):
to get them out of a hellish situation. Insert your
favorite team here.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You all have one that you hate, unless you're still
in the finals, or you're just emboldened by one or
two big moves, you know, like a big ten billion
dollars sale.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
But you're waiting for their waiting for those calls. And
they have been for weeks now, trying to orchestrate things
behind the scene. Kevin Durant, he's worried about trades, but
now he's got beaf with DeMarcus Cousins.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Right, they're sort of beef today. It was something special. Hey,
you know, there were a bunch of fistfights. Like another word.
It's like I heard it from one of your teammates,
Like never happened. Man, Come on, man, it never happened.
DeMarcus Cousins. Oh, by the way, when I got kicked
out of a league for fighting a.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Fan, right, yeah, they threw beer at him, popcorn.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It was crazy, big week for DeMarcus Cousins. What do
you got, Frostburg.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
The MAVs will be capturing the flag next week.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Teaching Oh very nice, that's all. Yeah, Wednesday night. Yeah,
and forget about the Flags of Our Fathers. The flag
for the Mavericks will be taking number one over it.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
You know a movie that could have been on the
uh somebody's list.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Go, yeah, you're getting down the list of Yeah, down
the listen, Chris Berman movie. Yeah, it's like a young Berman.
It's Zach Effron in a room just coming up with nicknames.
He's listening to the radio Flags nineteen movie in like
nineteen sixty eight. Like let's say you get oh and
(09:06):
Denny McClain with some American pie over the plate here
in nineteen sixty.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Eight, and that movie would be called Killing Your Father, Larry.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
A.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
You know who is in Flags of Our Fathers? Gordon
Klatt that.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Was here, Okay, all right, all right, we had we
had a little bit of all right, little bit of
metavoid now Game seven on Sunday. I've said from the beginning, look,
I picked the Thunder to win the title before the playoffs.
I'm not going away from it. Now. It's one home
game for them to win. From the beginning of the finals,
I've said this is how it's going to go. But
time we get to game five. It's going to go home, home, home, right,
(09:44):
Thunder at home Game five, Pats at home Game six,
Thunder at home Game seven, and all of the Game
seven cliches that we have heard that for years are
going to come true. Yes, the Thunder bench will play better,
support players will play better. It is the loudest arena
in the league. It will be there and the Thunder
(10:06):
will be able to feed off it. I don't think
the Pacers bench will play quite as well. The Thunder
also coming off a really subpar Game six, in which
middle of the second quarter they just said we're done
playing and we're ready to go back for Game seven.
All that will happen, But I'll tell you what's going
to happen on Sunday because he backed me up earlier
in the series and I said, hey, SGA has got
(10:27):
to come back off of this loss with a forty
point game. If you're the MVP, these are the games
you answer. And he came up, didn't score forty, but
he had thirty five big game, the last thirteen points
of the game for the Thunder, and they got back
in the series and he steadied everybody. But I still
feel like we're waiting for the big breakout game from SGA. Right,
you look at his numbers, over thirty points every game
(10:48):
in the playoffs and thirty points in the finals. He's
playing great, but I feel like we're still waiting for that.
Here is game seven, on the biggest level he'll ever
be on at home. He is gonna have a Yannis
Game six of twenty twenty one kind of impact. I'll say.
He goes for fifty in this game, gets the free
(11:10):
throw line at least twenty times, and in a big
route it is Oklahoma City. He stays in to get
his fiftieth point, comes out of the game. Big ovation
for him late in the fourth quarter. But give me
a fifty burger from SGA because he knows this is
a game he's got to do it right. It can't
be hey, Jalen Williams is surprising with forty one points. No no, no, no, Hey,
(11:33):
Chet Holmbren's got twenty and fifty. Yeah, all that's great.
This is an SGA game. He goes for fifty, and
then we start arguing the big topic money will be
bigger clinching game SGA in game seven, here for fifty
or Yannis is fifty and fourteen in game six and
twenty twenty one. That's the kind of game SGA has.
SGA to score fifty or more points. He's ten to one.
(11:58):
I like that. That's a win money, and that shows
thirty five to thirty nine wouldn't what And doesn't that
seem low? Like? Boy, I think the the for a
fifty point game, those odds should be a little higher.
Does it seem like they should be a little higher? Yeah,
I don't know. I mean it's funny, man, fifty fifty
in an NBA Finals game and it's only ten to one.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah, that's all right. I mean it's he's a score.
I mean, he averaged thirty thirty.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Two a game. Yeah, but this is fifty. No, I
get it. But Vegas might know something. But thirty five
to thirty nine is just even money. Okay, So expectation
that's a lot, and that that he's going to eat
on Sunday. The spread for the game itself, which started
at either eight and a half or nine is down
(12:46):
to seven and a half. Okay City Oklahoma City favorite
of course.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Some some fun in the uh the other prop bets,
but we got well we'll get into that as we go.
It's it's fun looking at Chet and Dort and all
those things going back home after Miserable Game six. Is
Mathern had a miserable Game six. So yeah, I wish
they could both lose. Honestly, based on the way they
(13:14):
both played in games five and six, five and then
Sga and Company and the no show in game six,
my man has more turnovers than he had made shots.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, no, I understand, you know, not aesthetically pleasing me
for me, I mean, and I understand the logic of it, certainly.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
It's something we've talked about here. Folks can go find
it on the podcast. And I know Chris Plank is
probably listening and losing his mind at me right now.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
He'll follow us next hour.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
But it's just the idea that you have a chance
to clinch in your early second quarter. Yeah, there was
a lid on the basket for a while, and you
could say, wow, they had a little bit of a
run in the third that that really wasn't a run.
No point did you ever feel like, oh it's away.
So but yeah, I would I love to see a
(14:04):
punctuation mark After the year Shay Gildess Alexander had sure
because we need that next line of superstars.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
We keep trying to generate.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Them, and hey, here's one that would actually happen because
of what he did on the damn court through the
finish of a season as opposed to snippets Hi Anthony Edwards,
Hi Tyrese Haliburton. And if Burton Taliburton does go and
has a big Game seven and somehow they pull off
a win, well, then you look at the path they had.
(14:35):
Rick Carlile's name goes into a different level for as
far as the coaching profession with a second title and
being just a few wins away from cracking the top
ten in regular season all time wins. So yeah, there's
a lot of those fun history legacy plays that roll
into this based on what we're going to see on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Mike, don't forget he also owns the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It's true. You know, Okay, you know what my favorite
story was today. I know you have to just take it.
Take it that I'm telling you the truth. You believe
me is when you know I'm on today and I'm
prepping and getting you know, getting ready, doing some stuff,
and I look at Twitter and Game eight is trending
and I see game eight trends. Sometimes I like to
play a game and go, Okay, what do I think
(15:21):
this is gonna be? Right? What do I think this
is gonna be? And I see game eight trending, and
I go, Scott Foster was named the official of game seven, right?
And the whole thing is, hey, he's extending us to
a game eight. Right, It's like Scott, I know. And
I click on it, and sure enough, a parody account
tweeted out, Hey, according to league sources, Scott Foster officiating
game seven, which was not which was not true, but
(15:41):
it was a parody account. And I but that's all
everybody who's saying, Scott Foster, we're getting Game eight, We're
I was like, yes, I guessed that. I first guessed that.
I was so excited. I'm like, I got it right.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
It's like the old world cheries. It's gonna be best
in nine.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Exit up about a Fresco exit swollen Dome, the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harvet. So that's
how Sunday is gonna play out. How will the biggest
NBA story of the week off the court play out? Now?
We got that more coming up next right here, Jason
and Mike, this is Fox Sports raighty. Oh oh oh,
(16:18):
oh oh, nobody falling down the steps into the water
for the shark to eat him. Oh there we go, Okay,
Jason Fork, He's hits the guy in the wheelchair with
a machete. He goes down the steps and into the water,
where the shark eats him.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Eaten by a fake shark.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Well that would be a well, you'd already be bleeding,
so probably you would draw all the sharks in. Oh true.
So open Water Science, open Water or under Paris. That's
the that's the shark movie. You got to watch Tight
Shirt under Paris.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I don't know if I trust your movie review.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I've told you seriously, you said the matrix sucked. You
wound me. Man under Paris was once.
Speaker 3 (16:52):

Speaker 2 (16:58):
Be sure to catch lived of The Jason Smith Show
with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven pm
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Back up, now, look, we'll get to
the big pre nineteen seventy five topic in a second.
But yeah, I want to say this because sometime, you know,
I told you this week with my dad, it's been
a really fun week. We decided to do the MLB
(17:38):
the Streak together after the big story earlier this week
about the guy that had the fifty game streak. You know,
I'll have to do his pick a different player to
get a hit every day, and if you get to
fifty seven games, you can win like over five million dollars.
MLB dot comin has been doing this for years and
guy got to fifty games and had a really bad
beat earlier this week, or he would have got to
fifty one because the guy he picked on the A's
(17:59):
had a base hit and fell into the outfield where
the run, yeah, runner gets caught up between first and seconds,
so instead of a base hit, it's a forest out
and second. So I said, okay, my dad and I
are gonna do it right, and it's and and and
since then it's been Dad, come on. So because two
days ago when we decided doing I'm like, great, Dad,
you picked first, and he picks Andy Pa has right,
(18:20):
I'm like, oh awesome. It was the night after, Piez
had two home runs and the and the double, and
the scene was a four for four. I said, yes, Andy,
Pai has great. So the next day comes. So Wednesday
comes and I said, okay, great, we got pies. Hey
you got to hit his first time up, like great, dad,
that's awesome. It was double. Yeah. Yeah. And my dad goes,
oh no, no, I put him in for tomorrow. I go,
why didn't you put him in for today. I'm like,
(18:42):
come on, you put it. So we put him in
for Thursday. Doesn't get a hit, right, So now my
dad missus Wednesday puts it a third, doesn't get it.
I said, okay. He goes, who do you want? I go,
I'll show you how it's done. I'm gonna take Lindor
right beginning of a big series against the Phillies. Give me,
We'll take Lindor. My dad says, okay, great.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So, Jason, we gave you a rule yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Oh what was the rule?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
He said, don't pick the Mets.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, I gotta kick it off. I want to win, right,
So here's the thing. So I said, okay, Lindor. He goes,
all right, great, all right, Lindor. So he texts me
about four thirty. Okay, four thirty. He says, hey, I
just got back and won't let me put Lindor in.
And I said, oh, it was too late because of
the seven o'clock. I said, Dad, because the game started
(19:29):
fifteen minutes ago. He goes, oh, oh, sorry about that ago.
You had all day your retire job. My dad is retired.
He goes, He goes to Pavilion's a supermarket. He goes home,
he comes over to say hi. He goes home. That's
his day right down. So my dad, that you had
all day, Dad, you had one job. Right So here's
the thing. I said, Okay, forget it. I said, just
let's go with Otani. Then he goes, all right, all
(19:51):
put in for Otani. Lindor goes, oh for four Otani
gets hit tonight, one down, fifty six to go. He said,
pressure's on you, dad for game two. But he he
blew it today. But it turned out to be good
because we would have had an over for anyway, because
how about that. What it would have been interesting is
if somehow you guys did a reverse streak and you
(20:12):
were able to get fifty seven straight days that you
pick a guy that took an over. Oh ooh, I
think that's probably the game somewhere, right. They gotta have
somebody do that. You got not, I mean, we we
should invent it. Yeah, guys gotta go. You all of
a sudden, you're taking all guys back in eighth and ninth.
That's it. This guy's really in a funk. We're hearing
(20:33):
he's got some personal problems.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Nah, he's run up by, you know, a massive debt
on you know, unbeknownst to him.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
He just got informed by his accountant. So as he's
struggling at the at the plate, why do you gotta
go so dark with that? I'm just saying, guys that
don't hit for a high, that are hitting like one
seventy five and playing like, what, why do you go for? Well,
we got we gotta fighting. Well, we gotta find out,
you know, what's going on with these I mean, if
(21:01):
I get that edge that the betters used, we got
some inside dope as to what's going on with this guy.
There's Harmon, No, no, no, Jason. Jason wants to find
the guy hitting one seventy five and a bad streak
barely in the lineup. Harmon wants to find the guy
who's having the worst personal life possible, who's going through
a divorce and is having his money stolen, drug loss,
being forced to play a position he doesn't want to.
(21:27):
Let me find the guy with the biggest personal problems.
That's who I'm gonna pick the go over in this game.
Like wow, okay, all right, Wow, I'm okay, all right.
This guy's got a looming court date. I mean, oh man,
he's found out like a musician. He's he's got some
business managers or interpreters that are taking money from him.
(21:47):
Maybe they go into a phone, Jemmy, you don't know.
Let me google MLB starters with looming court dates and
see what comes up. Exit up about a Fresco exit
swollen The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harbon.
We got more coming up in ninety seconds. But now
let's find out what's trending in the wide world of
(22:08):
sportsman guy who's been called the Joe DiMaggio a Fox
Sports radio. He would also love to do a commercial
for a coffee maker. It's Steve de Sager.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
Thought that was gonna be a Marilyn Monroe reference, but no,
I had I had to sake when you think I'm
gonna say, mister coffee commercial.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Certainly, Steve, who do you think is popping out of
the coffee maker?
Speaker 5 (22:27):
You know, some generations actually thought that was what his
claim to fame was, Joe Demash coffee guy.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
Now I think John Bedden was a guy who would.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Exactly exactly, thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
The late ball game tonight was in San Francisco and
the Red Sox beat the Giants seven to five. Giants
DH Shrafield evers exit Boston went oh for five a's
five to one over Cleveland. Despite a complete game from
losing pitcher Tanner Biby, the Dodgers were six five winners
against Washington. The win to Clayton Kershaw three and zero.
He pitched five innings to night. He's now eight strikeouts
(23:01):
away from three thousand in his career. Kansas City held
on for a six to five win at San Diego today.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Thank you, Steve O The Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Harmon. On a very big day today
as we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the release of Jaws.
Fifty years ago today, Roy Scheider fell down the steps
to get to the beach when they heard there was
a shark in the water. Fifty years ago. Todayler Jaws
(26:56):
is released and given credit with berthing the era of
movies that last fifty years. At Jaws the first big
summer blockbuster, everything we've seen the movies changed forever after
Jaws came out. Before it was a much different era
of movies. The only comedies were the really really smart
ones from Woody Allen. There were no knee slapper or
(27:18):
movies like Airplane or anything else. Jaws birthed all of that,
and we've talked about since Jaws Birth the modern era,
the best movie of the last fifty years in the
modern era post nineteen seventy five, I've given you back
to the future because it has everything you could ever
want in a movie. Right now, you won to night
(27:38):
anybody that anybody could want. Action Adventures is an opinion drama. No,
what what doesn't it have? What doesn't that tell me
something it doesn't have? It's got every character it's got
doesn't have what do you mean character? He doesn't have character?
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I mean it's lacking good actors.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Really, really, the act the acting in this is everybody
is terrific in it. It's got everything. It's got acting,
it's got writing, it's got the directing, the story. It's
it's a thriller, it's a drama, it's a comedy. It's
got a great soundtrack, it's got anything you want in
a movie. This is what it has. Right So that
so that's been the story. So it ranks highly for you. Yes,
(28:21):
I'm telling you that's the best movie the last fifty
years because it's got more than any other movie you
could possibly give me. Other movies are great, and other
movies do certain things better than Back to the Future,
but no one does all of those things. Right. It's
like back to the Future is the show, hey Otani
of movies, right, And maybe there's some Some guys can
steal bases a tiny bit better or hit home runs
a tiny bit better, but no one can do all
(28:43):
of those things. Some guys can pitch a little bit better,
but nobody can do everything like Otani does. So there
you go. I like, I like a report card that's
got a bunch of a's on it. The way you're
describing it, there's a lot of b's. Otani doesn't have
all a Really yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Know, but take that back.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
But I'm saying the way you set it up. And
then you jump over and say, well, he's Otani, so
like you, you're doing the all right, let's compare it
and make it the best. When you say, well, it's
got a little bit of everything. No, not the best
in everything, but it's got a lot of these things. Okay,
Well someone who can do all of that, we've never seen.
A Otani is the best player any of us have
ever seen. So many things because he can pitch and
(29:26):
he can hit unlike anybody we've ever seen. Like, if
you want to say, hey, who's the best man he's
guest on between? No, what fine? Like if you want
to say, who's the best hitter between him or Judge,
all right, that could be a toss up. I'll give
you that. But Otani's a better base dealer and he
can pitch. Okay, if you want to say that that, uh,
(29:49):
Turik Skubl is a better pitcher than Otani. Okay, but
Otani is really close and Schooble can't hit. He can't
hit at all. So that's my point is that he
does everything at such a high levels, not like he
could hit twenty home runs and knock in seventy five
runs and play a good outfield like that. You're Andy
pa has right as good as the guy is. He's
an all star player. Yeah, Andy pauzays everything well. Otani
(30:11):
excels at everything, and there are certain players that individually
can maybe do a little bit better, but nobody can
do all of those things. Like everything Otani does. He
doesn't like the level of nine. And are there some
players that can do a nine and a half just
on hitting home runs or just on stealing bases or
just on pitching. Yeah, but no one else can do
anything else up above a nine all the way like
(30:32):
he can. So that's why Back to the Future is
the Otani of movies. Yeah, well I put it at
as a really good haul of very good no for
I'm gonna have Frostburg check me. Yeah, there you go. Yeah,
I know I know where to go for my judging.
Thank you. So we did that. Now, if you had
(30:53):
to ask me, pre nineteen seventy five the best movie,
which is a much different error where it's basically drama filled. Uh,
it's it's mystery. It's a lot of anxiety induced moments,
slow build movies. Again, this is how movies were made,
you know, for the longest time, and then you know,
(31:13):
Jaws changed everything. But if I'm going now, it's tough
for me because I get that people are gonna say
Godfather and Casta Blanca and Wizard of Oz and I
get all of that, but I got to put everything
into perspective right performances and and I'm not gonna go
too far away. But I'm gonna go pre nineteen seventy five.
I'm gonna go Butching Sun Dance. Okay, I've got the
(31:37):
sting Oh, the sting was great. Sting was phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (31:41):
About Raging Bull.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Raging that was nineteen eighty what raging but what Yeah,
Raging Bull was nineteen eighty.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
Yeah, so it's more relevant.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I'm gonna do a monologue. I just think of that
scene from Waiting for where the guys is, I'm gonna
do a scene from the movie Raging Bull.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
You said it's you in nineteen eighty like that was
a bad thing.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
No, well, because we're going pre nineteen seventy five now,
but we would do that. We're just doing it for
a couple of minutes. I just from Waiting for Guffman
where they're all auditioning and the guy says, I'm gonna
do a scene for the movie Raging Bull. You blake
my wife? What you blake my wife? I'm your brother?
(32:21):
Why whatever? You blake my wife? He keeps doing that. Uh.
Gangs New York there too, Okay, Gangsy again. That was
two thousand and two, two thousand and two thousand and two.
Gangs of New Yorker two thousand and two, two thousand
and two. You're right, Frostbrook just wants blood. He just
wants blood. One on the page and on the screen.
(32:42):
That's what he wants.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
He's a man who has the very visceral reaction. It's
from the gut.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I mean, am I wrong that first? Blood is my
favorite movie.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
First of all, the first sound track, Yeah, the most.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Second favorite movie is Blood Sport, Shock, Cluck vent. My
third favorite movie is with Steven Seagull Out for Blood.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I thought you were gonna say, Sudden Death is your
next favorite movie with Jean Claude Van Dam that.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Doesn't have blood in it?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Well, there's blood and that is in the title. Yeah,
well no, but still it's it's implied there's going to
be blood because it's called sudden death. The guy gets
to play Goldie and stop a penalty shot. You know,
he's and only is it's just a you know, some
kind of hero. He's not a hockey player at all.
He's able to go out there and some penalty shot.
That's something. Blood. Uh yeah, sure, bloods simple, yeah, blood diamond.
(33:40):
Lots of movies of blood.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
There will be blood.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, there once was blood. Blood was there, but now
it's gone. Hopefully there will be blood in the future.
I don't know, is there any blood? Blood? Red? Blood
is red? Sure? Big black bugs bleed black blue blood,
but baby black bugs bl bloody.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
Sure my nose is bleeding.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Coming up next? Well, we gave you some big bull
predictions for Sunday, Game seven of the NBA Finals. How
about one for the biggest NBA story of the week.
What is next for the Lakers after being sold Jason?
Fox Sports Radio. That would be a hot take, seven
(34:27):
different story.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
What 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 (34:40):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
How many stairs is this shark gonna fall down?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
That's a lot. That's a lot of stay mad shark
are those are stairs that are thrown in from like
a shark nado that land on the steps so they
fall down there you go. I always love how all
the sharks landed right on people, like the number of
sharks that landed right on because you have to land
right on a person, right You can't. You can't like
land like, you know, ten feet away, because you know
(35:16):
you'll die and the you know, oh wow, that was close.
But the sharks just land right on people.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Do you guys know what a shark and Peter Griffin
have in common? What both sound exactly the same when
they fall down some stairs.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Some time, you're into Robert Loser in the airport. So
we gave you our big bull predictions for Sunday in
the NBA Finals. Biggest story of the week the Lakers
being sold for ten billion dollars to businessman Mark Walter,
who owns part of the Dodgers. And what is next? Right,
we've heard a lot, now what is next? And we
told the beginning of the week, hey, this is great news. Right.
(35:57):
The first thing was this is great news because now
the Lakers can start behaving more like a modern NBA
team and not the mom and pop operation and not
be beholden to money because it seemed like a lot
of decisions they made the last few years are well,
we don't want to spend this kind of money or
this kind of money. You watched Genie buss and and
and Rob Polinka get met in the middle by Lebron
(36:20):
and Clutch Sports and how they basically ran things for
a while. So it's good because now the Lakers are
going to be able to compete. Now, what's next for
this team is twofold one. I know that Genie Buss
is staying on as governor for an indeterminate amount of time.
This is going to be a one year thing, right, Like,
(36:40):
like this is whether she wanted to write it in
that she's going to continue to run the team through
this transition, whatever it's going to be. But this is
going to be one year because guys don't buy teams
to have the old owner running it, right, they don't.
They don't do that, right. You know, you don't buy
a house just so the guy that lived in the
house you bought it from to live in it for
a while, right, you want to go live in that house, right,
So it'll probably be a year, and I'm sure that
(37:02):
you know this is part of the agreement that you
sell the team. It will be a year and then
very quietly, at the end of this year, Genie Buss
will step away and Mark Walter will be the full owner.
Now that being said, the thing that's gonna happen. Lebron
James is still sitting at the end of his run
as a Laker, Right, maybe this is the last year
for him and he has to go finish his career
(37:23):
someplace else. You could see that they're building around Luca.
But this is not gonna be an off season where
the Lakers stand pat and Okay, we're gonna run it back.
We have new ownership, we have lots of new things happening,
and let's see what happens this year before we're gonna No,
you're not gonna waste what could be the last great
year of Lebron's career. You don't know what you're gonna
get after. The Lakers are gonna be aggressive in this offseason.
(37:47):
There's gonna be trades, they're gonna spend money. They're gonna
spend more money than they have. You're gonna start hearing
first and second Apron conversations with the Lakers. It's they're
gonna come in and Mark Walter is gonna want to
make a splash and say this is what I want
to do, and they're gonna find a way around the
money situations that they have, and they're gonna go out
and say, all right, right now, we're gonna go We're
(38:08):
gonna go build a team that is going to compete
for a title now, mainly because it could be Lebron's
last year and for the Lakers, Okay, if you spend
money wherever you're at after this year, you don't have
to sign Lebron, right, you have to give them fifty
million dollars after this year. But I'm sure you know
this is what's gonna happen for this year, and after
this you would be out of that. So if you
(38:28):
want to move on, you'll be able to do it.
But they're not just gonna come into this offseason and
sit still. They're gonna make big moves. They will find
a way, they will move money around. They will make trades,
just like they were able to make the Luka doantics
trade happen when you didn't think they had assets. They'll
do something. They'll do big stuff this summer. It's gonna
be a big summer for the Lakers. Well, I mean,
they got far less than one would think they should
(38:49):
have in the open market place, so that there's tinfoil
hats to be handed out to everybody as we discussed
those things. But Finney Smith and Lebron have you know,
player options, so that gets you far beyond what the
actual cap is. So you know, it's fuzzy math.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
As we move forward, when we're talking about aprons and
the new look, NBA, in terms of these agreements, you
can't play the game like you do with baseball, as
we've talked about. So it'll be curious where they're going
to make a lot of improvements. I think is training
and infrastructure, all of those things in terms of treatments
and being able to add all those different layers of
(39:29):
support that have not been there. Again, the money was
always in the banana stand and you didn't have the
other businesses that you can lean on to build. But
Walter and Company, Yeah, that'll be the first order of business.
Luco get his deal and you'll see how you can compete. Well,
getting rid of Lebron after this year frees up fifty
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
But now you wonder like, oh, are things going to
change for Lebron suddenly? Hey, I'm all in. I want
to be all in, guys. I want to be new owner.
I want to have my influence. Maybe now I want
to stay a little bit longer because it's a new thing.
You're not pushing me out like you were. I remember
that could be part of it too. Lebron extension could
be on the way. Mike Harmon, Yeah, I think now
(40:13):
you're it's a pipe dream, He'll be somewhere else, somewhere else.

coming up in a few minutes. The big topic we've
had so far has been with Jaws, birthing the modern
(01:12):
era of movies. Right, Jaws in nineteen seventy five, fifty
years ago. Today, the modern era movie. The era of
movies has broken up into two eras, seventy five to
now and pre nineteen seventy five. Right, so far, we
talked about what the best movie of the last fifty
years is, right, we talked about it.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Wait, you were alive in the nineteen hundreds.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I was, so were you? Frostburg?

What are you forty eight? I thought you were like thirty.
You're older than I thought you were.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Yeah, I'm twenty four. What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (01:57):
John z been on the show for nine years, gen
z uh. We talked about the best best movie the
last fifty years? Right, because of Jaws fiftieth anniversary. We're
gonna flip this around. Best movie pre nineteen seventy five
coming up in about twenty minutes.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Let's really outdate ourselves.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
No, it's for dude. You think people haven't seen I
haven't seen movies, but that are hot. People watch Godfather
all the time, by the way, Godfather is not at
the top of my list. But people have seen. People
have seen all these movies. Man.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Obviously Chinatown, okay.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Oh, Chinatown was terrific. It's good. Yeah, you go, but
you dressed up as did you go as uh as
Jake from Chinatown when you were a kid with the
band on Halloween?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Absolutely?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
But butterfly bandage over your nose, in the trench coat
and hat.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
I even went as Michael Douglas and Falling.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Down there you go. By the way, that.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Is one of the most underrated movies of all time.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Oh five sents eighty five cents, yeah, fifteen.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
That was such a big deal when it came out.
And this is back when, like very very few times now,
a movie will come out and give you conversation for
like a month, right, Like you say, movie comes out,
you talk about it for a couple of weeks, you
go on to the next one. But once in a while,
that movie, you know, probably like two or three movies
a year come out where they spawned big. There's such
(03:19):
big hits. They spawned big conversations for like a month after, right,
like Oppenheimer, Barbie did that, Top Gun, Maverick did that, right,
and it happens that way, And and like Falling Down
was one of those movies where we talked they was
a big social not social experiment, but just a big
reaction after that movie kept like for a month. It
was all people getting sick and tired of stuff and
(03:40):
what happened. And look at what happened in Des Moines, Iowa.
This is what happened here. Like that movie had had
a huge impact. That movie came out. Now that's like
something that would have been nominated and won Best Picture.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
Well, and then you have a movie that did and
has never been seen again.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
In Traffic, yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Oh yeah, I just want my.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Yeah, good luck trying to find traffic on anywhere. How
come they don't run traffic anymore? They've never run traffic. Then,
don't get me started with the game. The game is
another one that's in unbelievable. Oh hey, we just binged
that like a couple of months ago. You know, he's
always looking for a big action movie fun I said,
oh no, no, the game is terrific. It's the game
(04:24):
rated movie. Oh my god, it's so good. Yeah, I know.
I'm with you Frostburg on that the game was so so.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
I think we decided that Michael Douglas is the most
underrated actor of all time.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
We haven't gotten into Romancing the Stone yet, haven't gotten
into basic instinct. Yeah, a lot streets of San Francisco
haven't gotten into that with him. Well, I mean Last Vegas. Yeah, okay, now,
now you just fell off a cliff right there with least. Hey, no,
Rob and I'm telling you about lastics like Romancing the
Stone and Wall Street and you're saying Last Vegas. Come on, yeah,
(04:58):
the only you know. I'm sorry, answer the phone. Jerry
Ferrara is calling in right now to agree. Go ahead, Greg, Greg,
grab the phone, I'm sure. Knock Drew Brees off of
hold and and and get to Jerry Ferrara. He wants
to get on the air.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Hey, it's al.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
He was also in uh ant Man and the Wasp.
It was Wall Street.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
You just said that like you're eighty five years old.
I want to go see The ant Man and the Wasp.
You know, you know what, hurt, that's a good movie.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
You know what I revisited after after the passing of
Val Kilmer. Was Ghost in the Darkness?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
You know I saw that movie. I like the Ghost
Hated the Darkness? Okay?
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Or the Rose is obviously the American President. I mean
you can do you can do the whole catalog.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yeah, yeah, real genius, Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
What was it the Kaminski project that he did with
Morgan Freeman?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh, I think so, oh wait, wait the can No,
that's the Kandinsky Method. What was Is that what I'm
thinking of? I think that's two different movies. No, no, no,
because he did a TV show, Frank Frank Kaminski never
did a movie. He played for Wisconsin bat been knocking
around the end of it was the Kaminski Method. Sports
(06:05):
Center all right, right, well Frothford knows a lot about
Frank Kaminski. There you go. Legend. Uh. But we're getting
set for Game seven of the NBA Finals on Stiday. Well,
got that again, we'll turn that on. It's ere coming
up in about twenty minutes. But Game seven set for Sunday. Finally,
the end of the season is here, the NBA Final
(06:25):
end And uh, you know, because you're thinking, okay, what
a great way to end, will be a great button
on the end of the season. Nope, two days later,
we got the NBA Draft. Let's go. I kind of
feel like I kind of feel like NBA fans are saying, Okay,
I really want the finals to end because I want
to get back in. I want to get back in
(06:46):
the conversation, right like me being in. I want the
Knicks to get back in the conversation. Baker fans want
to get back in the conversation. We want the draft,
and we want free agency, and we want it now now, now, now, now, now,
And I'm like, Okay, it's gonna seem weird, but hey,
NBA champion on Sunday. Draft is on Wednesday. I'm down
with that. I am absolutely good with that. It seems
(07:06):
like it's really fast, but hey, I'm okay with it.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Get them on, get them over, get them in right,
and then then they can go have their off season.
Get out of a banana boat. Dwayne Wade actually signed
a banana boat that someone brought to the Fanatics Fest today,
So I mean, you can get into your off season
for real. That's great, and all those people that are
on vacation, we'll finally get the phone call. They've either
been dreading or really been anxious and anticipating, you know,
(07:33):
to get them out of a hellish situation. Insert your
favorite team here.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
You all have one that you hate, unless you're still
in the finals, or you're just emboldened by one or
two big moves, you know, like a big ten billion
dollars sale.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
But you're waiting for their waiting for those calls. And
they have been for weeks now, trying to orchestrate things
behind the scene. Kevin Durant, he's worried about trades, but
now he's got beaf with DeMarcus Cousins.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Right, they're sort of beef today. It was something special. Hey,
you know, there were a bunch of fistfights. Like another word.
It's like I heard it from one of your teammates,
Like never happened. Man, Come on, man, it never happened.
DeMarcus Cousins. Oh, by the way, when I got kicked
out of a league for fighting a.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Fan, right, yeah, they threw beer at him, popcorn.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It was crazy, big week for DeMarcus Cousins. What do
you got, Frostburg.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
The MAVs will be capturing the flag next week.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Teaching Oh very nice, that's all. Yeah, Wednesday night. Yeah,
and forget about the Flags of Our Fathers. The flag
for the Mavericks will be taking number one over it.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
You know a movie that could have been on the
uh somebody's list.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Go, yeah, you're getting down the list of Yeah, down
the listen, Chris Berman movie. Yeah, it's like a young Berman.
It's Zach Effron in a room just coming up with nicknames.
He's listening to the radio Flags nineteen movie in like
nineteen sixty eight. Like let's say you get oh and
(09:06):
Denny McClain with some American pie over the plate here
in nineteen sixty.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Eight, and that movie would be called Killing Your Father, Larry.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
A.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
You know who is in Flags of Our Fathers? Gordon
Klatt that.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Was here, Okay, all right, all right, we had we
had a little bit of all right, little bit of
metavoid now Game seven on Sunday. I've said from the beginning, look,
I picked the Thunder to win the title before the playoffs.
I'm not going away from it. Now. It's one home
game for them to win. From the beginning of the finals,
I've said this is how it's going to go. But
time we get to game five. It's going to go home, home, home, right,
(09:44):
Thunder at home Game five, Pats at home Game six,
Thunder at home Game seven, and all of the Game
seven cliches that we have heard that for years are
going to come true. Yes, the Thunder bench will play better,
support players will play better. It is the loudest arena
in the league. It will be there and the Thunder
(10:06):
will be able to feed off it. I don't think
the Pacers bench will play quite as well. The Thunder
also coming off a really subpar Game six, in which
middle of the second quarter they just said we're done
playing and we're ready to go back for Game seven.
All that will happen, But I'll tell you what's going
to happen on Sunday because he backed me up earlier
in the series and I said, hey, SGA has got
(10:27):
to come back off of this loss with a forty
point game. If you're the MVP, these are the games
you answer. And he came up, didn't score forty, but
he had thirty five big game, the last thirteen points
of the game for the Thunder, and they got back
in the series and he steadied everybody. But I still
feel like we're waiting for the big breakout game from SGA. Right,
you look at his numbers, over thirty points every game
(10:48):
in the playoffs and thirty points in the finals. He's
playing great, but I feel like we're still waiting for that.
Here is game seven, on the biggest level he'll ever
be on at home. He is gonna have a Yannis
Game six of twenty twenty one kind of impact. I'll say.
He goes for fifty in this game, gets the free
(11:10):
throw line at least twenty times, and in a big
route it is Oklahoma City. He stays in to get
his fiftieth point, comes out of the game. Big ovation
for him late in the fourth quarter. But give me
a fifty burger from SGA because he knows this is
a game he's got to do it right. It can't
be hey, Jalen Williams is surprising with forty one points. No no, no, no, Hey,
(11:33):
Chet Holmbren's got twenty and fifty. Yeah, all that's great.
This is an SGA game. He goes for fifty, and
then we start arguing the big topic money will be
bigger clinching game SGA in game seven, here for fifty
or Yannis is fifty and fourteen in game six and
twenty twenty one. That's the kind of game SGA has.
SGA to score fifty or more points. He's ten to one.
(11:58):
I like that. That's a win money, and that shows
thirty five to thirty nine wouldn't what And doesn't that
seem low? Like? Boy, I think the the for a
fifty point game, those odds should be a little higher.
Does it seem like they should be a little higher? Yeah,
I don't know. I mean it's funny, man, fifty fifty
in an NBA Finals game and it's only ten to one.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah, that's all right. I mean it's he's a score.
I mean, he averaged thirty thirty.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Two a game. Yeah, but this is fifty. No, I
get it. But Vegas might know something. But thirty five
to thirty nine is just even money. Okay, So expectation
that's a lot, and that that he's going to eat
on Sunday. The spread for the game itself, which started
at either eight and a half or nine is down
(12:46):
to seven and a half. Okay City Oklahoma City favorite
of course.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Some some fun in the uh the other prop bets,
but we got well we'll get into that as we go.
It's it's fun looking at Chet and Dort and all
those things going back home after Miserable Game six. Is
Mathern had a miserable Game six. So yeah, I wish
they could both lose. Honestly, based on the way they
(13:14):
both played in games five and six, five and then
Sga and Company and the no show in game six,
my man has more turnovers than he had made shots.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, no, I understand, you know, not aesthetically pleasing me
for me, I mean, and I understand the logic of it, certainly.
Speaker 4 (13:34):
It's something we've talked about here. Folks can go find
it on the podcast. And I know Chris Plank is
probably listening and losing his mind at me right now.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
He'll follow us next hour.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
But it's just the idea that you have a chance
to clinch in your early second quarter. Yeah, there was
a lid on the basket for a while, and you
could say, wow, they had a little bit of a
run in the third that that really wasn't a run.
No point did you ever feel like, oh it's away.
So but yeah, I would I love to see a
(14:04):
punctuation mark After the year Shay Gildess Alexander had sure
because we need that next line of superstars.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
We keep trying to generate.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Them, and hey, here's one that would actually happen because
of what he did on the damn court through the
finish of a season as opposed to snippets Hi Anthony Edwards,
Hi Tyrese Haliburton. And if Burton Taliburton does go and
has a big Game seven and somehow they pull off
a win, well, then you look at the path they had.
(14:35):
Rick Carlile's name goes into a different level for as
far as the coaching profession with a second title and
being just a few wins away from cracking the top
ten in regular season all time wins. So yeah, there's
a lot of those fun history legacy plays that roll
into this based on what we're going to see on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Mike, don't forget he also owns the Knicks.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
It's true. You know, Okay, you know what my favorite
story was today. I know you have to just take it.
Take it that I'm telling you the truth. You believe
me is when you know I'm on today and I'm
prepping and getting you know, getting ready, doing some stuff,
and I look at Twitter and Game eight is trending
and I see game eight trends. Sometimes I like to
play a game and go, Okay, what do I think
(15:21):
this is gonna be? Right? What do I think this
is gonna be? And I see game eight trending, and
I go, Scott Foster was named the official of game seven, right?
And the whole thing is, hey, he's extending us to
a game eight. Right, It's like Scott, I know. And
I click on it, and sure enough, a parody account
tweeted out, Hey, according to league sources, Scott Foster officiating
game seven, which was not which was not true, but
(15:41):
it was a parody account. And I but that's all
everybody who's saying, Scott Foster, we're getting Game eight, We're
I was like, yes, I guessed that. I first guessed that.
I was so excited. I'm like, I got it right.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
It's like the old world cheries. It's gonna be best
in nine.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Exit up about a Fresco exit swollen Dome, the Jason

NBA story of the week off the court play out? Now?

Shirt under Paris.

with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven pm
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon. Back up, now, look, we'll get to
the big pre nineteen seventy five topic in a second.
But yeah, I want to say this because sometime, you know,
I told you this week with my dad, it's been
a really fun week. We decided to do the MLB
(17:38):
the Streak together after the big story earlier this week
about the guy that had the fifty game streak. You know,
I'll have to do his pick a different player to
get a hit every day, and if you get to
fifty seven games, you can win like over five million dollars.
MLB dot comin has been doing this for years and
guy got to fifty games and had a really bad
beat earlier this week, or he would have got to
fifty one because the guy he picked on the A's
(17:59):
had a base hit and fell into the outfield where
the run, yeah, runner gets caught up between first and seconds,
so instead of a base hit, it's a forest out
and second. So I said, okay, my dad and I
are gonna do it right, and it's and and and
since then it's been Dad, come on. So because two
days ago when we decided doing I'm like, great, Dad,
you picked first, and he picks Andy Pa has right,
(18:20):
I'm like, oh awesome. It was the night after, Piez
had two home runs and the and the double, and
the scene was a four for four. I said, yes, Andy,
Pai has great. So the next day comes. So Wednesday
comes and I said, okay, great, we got pies. Hey
you got to hit his first time up, like great, dad,
that's awesome. It was double. Yeah. Yeah. And my dad goes,
oh no, no, I put him in for tomorrow. I go,
why didn't you put him in for today. I'm like,
(18:42):
come on, you put it. So we put him in
for Thursday. Doesn't get a hit, right, So now my
dad missus Wednesday puts it a third, doesn't get it.
I said, okay. He goes, who do you want? I go,
I'll show you how it's done. I'm gonna take Lindor
right beginning of a big series against the Phillies. Give me,
We'll take Lindor. My dad says, okay, great.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
So, Jason, we gave you a rule yesterday.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Oh what was the rule?
Speaker 3 (19:05):
He said, don't pick the Mets.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, I gotta kick it off. I want to win, right,
So here's the thing. So I said, okay, Lindor. He goes,
all right, great, all right, Lindor. So he texts me
about four thirty. Okay, four thirty. He says, hey, I
just got back and won't let me put Lindor in.
And I said, oh, it was too late because of
the seven o'clock. I said, Dad, because the game started
(19:29):
fifteen minutes ago. He goes, oh, oh, sorry about that ago.
You had all day your retire job. My dad is retired.
He goes, He goes to Pavilion's a supermarket. He goes home,
he comes over to say hi. He goes home. That's
his day right down. So my dad, that you had
all day, Dad, you had one job. Right So here's
the thing. I said, Okay, forget it. I said, just
let's go with Otani. Then he goes, all right, all
(19:51):
put in for Otani. Lindor goes, oh for four Otani
gets hit tonight, one down, fifty six to go. He said,
pressure's on you, dad for game two. But he he
blew it today. But it turned out to be good
because we would have had an over for anyway, because
how about that. What it would have been interesting is
if somehow you guys did a reverse streak and you
(20:12):
were able to get fifty seven straight days that you
pick a guy that took an over. Oh ooh, I
think that's probably the game somewhere, right. They gotta have
somebody do that. You got not, I mean, we we
should invent it. Yeah, guys gotta go. You all of
a sudden, you're taking all guys back in eighth and ninth.
That's it. This guy's really in a funk. We're hearing
(20:33):
he's got some personal problems.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Nah, he's run up by, you know, a massive debt
on you know, unbeknownst to him.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
He just got informed by his accountant. So as he's
struggling at the at the plate, why do you gotta
go so dark with that? I'm just saying, guys that
don't hit for a high, that are hitting like one
seventy five and playing like, what, why do you go for? Well,
we got we gotta fighting. Well, we gotta find out,
you know, what's going on with these I mean, if
(21:01):
I get that edge that the betters used, we got
some inside dope as to what's going on with this guy.
There's Harmon, No, no, no, Jason. Jason wants to find
the guy hitting one seventy five and a bad streak
barely in the lineup. Harmon wants to find the guy
who's having the worst personal life possible, who's going through
a divorce and is having his money stolen, drug loss,
being forced to play a position he doesn't want to.
(21:27):
Let me find the guy with the biggest personal problems.
That's who I'm gonna pick the go over in this game.
Like wow, okay, all right, Wow, I'm okay, all right.
This guy's got a looming court date. I mean, oh man,
he's found out like a musician. He's he's got some
business managers or interpreters that are taking money from him.
(21:47):
Maybe they go into a phone, Jemmy, you don't know.
Let me google MLB starters with looming court dates and
see what comes up. Exit up about a Fresco exit

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Thank you, Steve O The Jason Smith Show with my
best friend Mike Harmon. On a very big day today
as we celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the release of Jaws.
Fifty years ago today, Roy Scheider fell down the steps
to get to the beach when they heard there was
a shark in the water. Fifty years ago. Todayler Jaws
(26:56):
is released and given credit with berthing the era of
movies that last fifty years. At Jaws the first big
summer blockbuster, everything we've seen the movies changed forever after
Jaws came out. Before it was a much different era
of movies. The only comedies were the really really smart
ones from Woody Allen. There were no knee slapper or
(27:18):
movies like Airplane or anything else. Jaws birthed all of that,
and we've talked about since Jaws Birth the modern era,
the best movie of the last fifty years in the
modern era post nineteen seventy five, I've given you back
to the future because it has everything you could ever
want in a movie. Right now, you won to night
(27:38):
anybody that anybody could want. Action Adventures is an opinion drama. No,
what what doesn't it have? What doesn't that tell me
something it doesn't have? It's got every character it's got
doesn't have what do you mean character? He doesn't have character?
Speaker 3 (27:54):
I mean it's lacking good actors.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Really, really, the act the acting in this is everybody
is terrific in it. It's got everything. It's got acting,
it's got writing, it's got the directing, the story. It's
it's a thriller, it's a drama, it's a comedy. It's
got a great soundtrack, it's got anything you want in
a movie. This is what it has. Right So that
so that's been the story. So it ranks highly for you. Yes,
(28:21):
I'm telling you that's the best movie the last fifty
years because it's got more than any other movie you
could possibly give me. Other movies are great, and other
movies do certain things better than Back to the Future,
but no one does all of those things. Right. It's
like back to the Future is the show, hey Otani
of movies, right, And maybe there's some Some guys can
steal bases a tiny bit better or hit home runs
a tiny bit better, but no one can do all
(28:43):
of those things. Some guys can pitch a little bit better,
but nobody can do everything like Otani does. So there
you go. I like, I like a report card that's
got a bunch of a's on it. The way you're
describing it, there's a lot of b's. Otani doesn't have
all a Really yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
Know, but take that back.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
But I'm saying the way you set it up. And
then you jump over and say, well, he's Otani, so
like you, you're doing the all right, let's compare it
and make it the best. When you say, well, it's
got a little bit of everything. No, not the best
in everything, but it's got a lot of these things. Okay,
Well someone who can do all of that, we've never seen.
A Otani is the best player any of us have
ever seen. So many things because he can pitch and
(29:26):
he can hit unlike anybody we've ever seen. Like, if
you want to say, hey, who's the best man he's
guest on between? No, what fine? Like if you want
to say, who's the best hitter between him or Judge,
all right, that could be a toss up. I'll give
you that. But Otani's a better base dealer and he
can pitch. Okay, if you want to say that that, uh,
(29:49):
Turik Skubl is a better pitcher than Otani. Okay, but
Otani is really close and Schooble can't hit. He can't
hit at all. So that's my point is that he
does everything at such a high levels, not like he
could hit twenty home runs and knock in seventy five
runs and play a good outfield like that. You're Andy
pa has right as good as the guy is. He's
an all star player. Yeah, Andy pauzays everything well. Otani
(30:11):
excels at everything, and there are certain players that individually
can maybe do a little bit better, but nobody can
do all of those things. Like everything Otani does. He
doesn't like the level of nine. And are there some
players that can do a nine and a half just
on hitting home runs or just on stealing bases or
just on pitching. Yeah, but no one else can do
anything else up above a nine all the way like
(30:32):
he can. So that's why Back to the Future is
the Otani of movies. Yeah, well I put it at
as a really good haul of very good no for
I'm gonna have Frostburg check me. Yeah, there you go. Yeah,
I know I know where to go for my judging.
Thank you. So we did that. Now, if you had
(30:53):
to ask me, pre nineteen seventy five the best movie,
which is a much different error where it's basically drama filled. Uh,
it's it's mystery. It's a lot of anxiety induced moments,
slow build movies. Again, this is how movies were made,
you know, for the longest time, and then you know,
(31:13):
Jaws changed everything. But if I'm going now, it's tough
for me because I get that people are gonna say
Godfather and Casta Blanca and Wizard of Oz and I
get all of that, but I got to put everything
into perspective right performances and and I'm not gonna go
too far away. But I'm gonna go pre nineteen seventy five.
I'm gonna go Butching Sun Dance. Okay, I've got the
(31:37):
sting Oh, the sting was great. Sting was phenomenal.
Speaker 3 (31:41):

You said it's you in nineteen eighty like that was
a bad thing.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
No, well, because we're going pre nineteen seventy five now,
but we would do that. We're just doing it for
a couple of minutes. I just from Waiting for Guffman
where they're all auditioning and the guy says, I'm gonna
do a scene for the movie Raging Bull. You blake

(32:42):
That's what he wants.
Speaker 4 (32:44):
He's a man who has the very visceral reaction. It's
from the gut.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I mean, am I wrong that first? Blood is my
favorite movie.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
First of all, the first sound track, Yeah, the most.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Second favorite movie is Blood Sport, Shock, Cluck vent. My
third favorite movie is with Steven Seagull Out for Blood.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
I thought you were gonna say, Sudden Death is your
next favorite movie with Jean Claude Van Dam that.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
Doesn't have blood in it?
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Well, there's blood and that is in the title. Yeah,
well no, but still it's it's implied there's going to
be blood because it's called sudden death. The guy gets
to play Goldie and stop a penalty shot. You know,
he's and only is it's just a you know, some
kind of hero. He's not a hockey player at all.
He's able to go out there and some penalty shot.
That's something. Blood. Uh yeah, sure, bloods simple, yeah, blood diamond.
(33:40):
Lots of movies of blood.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
There will be blood.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, there once was blood. Blood was there, but now
it's gone. Hopefully there will be blood in the future.
I don't know, is there any blood? Blood? Red? Blood
is red? Sure? Big black bugs bleed black blue blood,
but baby black bugs bl bloody.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
How many stairs is this shark gonna fall down?
Speaker 1 (34:56):
That's a lot. That's a lot of stay mad shark
are those are stairs that are thrown in from like
a shark nado that land on the steps so they
fall down there you go. I always love how all
the sharks landed right on people, like the number of
sharks that landed right on because you have to land
right on a person, right You can't. You can't like
land like, you know, ten feet away, because you know
(35:16):
you'll die and the you know, oh wow, that was close.
But the sharks just land right on people.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
Do you guys know what a shark and Peter Griffin
have in common? What both sound exactly the same when
they fall down some stairs.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Some time, you're into Robert Loser in the airport. So
we gave you our big bull predictions for Sunday in
the NBA Finals. Biggest story of the week the Lakers
being sold for ten billion dollars to businessman Mark Walter,
who owns part of the Dodgers. And what is next? Right,
we've heard a lot, now what is next? And we
told the beginning of the week, hey, this is great news. Right.
(35:57):
The first thing was this is great news because now
the Lakers can start behaving more like a modern NBA
team and not the mom and pop operation and not
be beholden to money because it seemed like a lot
of decisions they made the last few years are well,
we don't want to spend this kind of money or
this kind of money. You watched Genie buss and and
and Rob Polinka get met in the middle by Lebron
(36:20):
and Clutch Sports and how they basically ran things for
a while. So it's good because now the Lakers are
going to be able to compete. Now, what's next for
this team is twofold one. I know that Genie Buss
is staying on as governor for an indeterminate amount of time.
This is going to be a one year thing, right, Like,
(36:40):
like this is whether she wanted to write it in
that she's going to continue to run the team through
this transition, whatever it's going to be. But this is
going to be one year because guys don't buy teams
to have the old owner running it, right, they don't.
They don't do that, right. You know, you don't buy
a house just so the guy that lived in the
house you bought it from to live in it for
a while, right, you want to go live in that house, right,
So it'll probably be a year, and I'm sure that
(37:02):
you know this is part of the agreement that you
sell the team. It will be a year and then
very quietly, at the end of this year, Genie Buss
will step away and Mark Walter will be the full owner.
Now that being said, the thing that's gonna happen. Lebron
James is still sitting at the end of his run
as a Laker, Right, maybe this is the last year
for him and he has to go finish his career
(37:23):
someplace else. You could see that they're building around Luca.
But this is not gonna be an off season where
the Lakers stand pat and Okay, we're gonna run it back.
We have new ownership, we have lots of new things happening,
and let's see what happens this year before we're gonna No,
you're not gonna waste what could be the last great
year of Lebron's career. You don't know what you're gonna
get after. The Lakers are gonna be aggressive in this offseason.
(37:47):
There's gonna be trades, they're gonna spend money. They're gonna
spend more money than they have. You're gonna start hearing
first and second Apron conversations with the Lakers. It's they're
gonna come in and Mark Walter is gonna want to
make a splash and say this is what I want
to do, and they're gonna find a way around the
money situations that they have, and they're gonna go out
and say, all right, right now, we're gonna go We're
(38:08):
gonna go build a team that is going to compete
for a title now, mainly because it could be Lebron's
last year and for the Lakers, Okay, if you spend
money wherever you're at after this year, you don't have
to sign Lebron, right, you have to give them fifty
million dollars after this year. But I'm sure you know
this is what's gonna happen for this year, and after
this you would be out of that. So if you
(38:28):
want to move on, you'll be able to do it.
But they're not just gonna come into this offseason and
sit still. They're gonna make big moves. They will find
a way, they will move money around. They will make trades,
just like they were able to make the Luka doantics
trade happen when you didn't think they had assets. They'll
do something. They'll do big stuff this summer. It's gonna
be a big summer for the Lakers. Well, I mean,
they got far less than one would think they should
(38:49):
have in the open market place, so that there's tinfoil
hats to be handed out to everybody as we discussed
those things. But Finney Smith and Lebron have you know,
player options, so that gets you far beyond what the
actual cap is. So you know, it's fuzzy math.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
As we move forward, when we're talking about aprons and
the new look, NBA, in terms of these agreements, you
can't play the game like you do with baseball, as
we've talked about. So it'll be curious where they're going
to make a lot of improvements. I think is training
and infrastructure, all of those things in terms of treatments
and being able to add all those different layers of
(39:29):
support that have not been there. Again, the money was
always in the banana stand and you didn't have the
other businesses that you can lean on to build. But
Walter and Company, Yeah, that'll be the first order of business.
Luco get his deal and you'll see how you can compete. Well,
getting rid of Lebron after this year frees up fifty
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
But now you wonder like, oh, are things going to
change for Lebron suddenly? Hey, I'm all in. I want
to be all in, guys. I want to be new owner.
I want to have my influence. Maybe now I want
to stay a little bit longer because it's a new thing.
You're not pushing me out like you were. I remember
that could be part of it too. Lebron extension could
be on the way. Mike Harmon, Yeah, I think now
(40:13):
you're it's a pipe dream, He'll be somewhere else, somewhere else.
