Geno Smith anniversary: I still vividly remember being on the treadmill at the gym and seeing the notification that Smith got his jaw broken in a locker room fight. And I thought "The Jets are never going to live this down." 10 years later, and they still haven't.

Him a viral hit.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Sure, sure, yeah, I mean forget about the tailors whatever.
Getting on Taylor Swift's New Heights podcast, if we're getting
a new album or not? Well, I mean, she teases
she got a briefcase like it's money in the bank
and she's gonna challenge for the world heavyweight titles.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Here's might new album and they blur it.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
So what's gonna happen basically is she's gonna go on
the new The Kelsey's Podcast. Yeah, they're gonna play and
grab ass. Yeah, she's gonna debut an album. Wow, She's
at least gonna show you what the album cover looks like.
Oh okay, beyond that, I have no idea. It's an
album reveal. What are we getting the No, you're just
gonna see what it looks like. Oh okay. Yeah, So
evidently there's a playlist up now called and maybe that's

(01:41):
your show business. So it's all the past albums put together.
But now we go into a new area. Is it
up though, because we don't know because the website's down
after we started talking.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, we started talking about it. Now the website crash.
Well that's our we knew. That's a lot of people. Sorry, guys,
that's how we do it.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
We really, I think I don't think there's a coincidence
that we talked about it half hour ago where it's
a little late on the East coast.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
Oh suddenly got it dead.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Websites out, So now I'm still waiting to check out.
Now we shall have thirty three minutes. Now, hang on.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
You can pre pre order, yeah, pre pre order.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
So what that is is then I can get like,
if I want the album, I sign up to pre
order it, yeah, And then I get I have to
sign up to pre order the album to actually pre
order the album, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
I can't just sign it to pre order.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
It and they charge you, and like, Okay, I know
this may be a full Russian nesting dog. That's what
they said. I think that's kind of and that's a
real thing. I think that was the joke. Like you
can order it now, yeah, and they'll have the full
full run perhaps okay, after she's on the podcast, okay,
and then it'll go live the second time. But so
there might be a different album, like it might be

(02:47):
a different color vinyl. Like so so what if I
know bands have done this in the past, like it
happened with an Afghan Wiggs album where a bunch of
bands got contact going, hey, she's gonna do this release
with all this craziness. It's like, we want to do
some stuff with you business wise because we're gonna need
our facilities to deal with her. So wait, do I
need to be approved to be able to pre pre

(03:09):
purchase the album? Though? You just had to click really fast,
But it says, like, why can't I just pre buy
the album?

Speaker 4 (03:16):
Right?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Everything?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Everything is elected. It's just gonna, you know, go right
to my Spotify account, right to my iTunes account. I
don't know, but like like they have let me make it. Okay,
let's see if I'm sheep. I just clicked. Like It's
not like Jason, It's like the Jets. They're only good
in the pre season.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Yeah we were good this week. Okay, all right, I'm
with you for you.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
How much better if there was suddenly you know, like hey,
like engratulations, you got an autograph?

Speaker 4 (03:39):
But like is it.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
Only coming out? Like they only have certain number? Like
is it only coming out on vinyl? Is it only
coming out on c No, No, it's gonna be everything.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Why do we have to be pre pre approved or
pre pre pre pre.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Ordered the album?

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Just if you want it now, I should you don't
want to wait to see if say, you run to
your local, why order the album? Why do I have
to pre pre order it?

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Like why? I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
They want your money for an extra forty eight hours
or for whatever the pre order but you actually, but.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
You can't charge me to pre pre order and charge
me money.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
You only gotta charge me. Yeah, that's pre ordering. That's it.
It's the joke. But no, but I don't understand.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Why?

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Why?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
What?

Speaker 5 (04:16):
What?

Speaker 1 (04:16):
Why is this so because then they can say how
many people pre pre ordered it in a very narrow window,
look at our ridiculous sales.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
It's all put.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
You could just say in the pre order window and
look at the ridiculous sales. I don't understand. Yeah, but
you do this for a short window, then you do that. Yeah,
it's like you at McDonald's your pre pre orders while
I'm deciding what I want. I'd like size six chicken
McNuggets nice with rams dressing. So now that's like your
appetizer and you're still thinking about it, like you go
to a fine dining in this case McDonald's. So it's

(04:48):
not makes sense. It's kind of like this, like when
I open up the potato chips to eat them as
I open the refra eat the chip.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
What else you gonna make? Yeah, but I don't. I
don't see. I understand that. But see how that translates
to pre pre order.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Now, in this case, you don't actually get anything to
consume except you. Like if you're saying, like I can
buy this album, like I'm going to pre order this album,
meaning when it's released, I get it into my account. Great,
but like you can't charge me if i'm pre pre
why pre I don't understand that. It's like a concert
ticket right where I buy it now for a show

(05:23):
six months from now.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Yeah, the interest on me, But I have the ticket
to get it.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I don't pre buy a ticket where you don't get
to walk in. You don't get assume that concert now.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
No, but I don't.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
I also don't sign up to buy a ticket and
then I have to sign up again to.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Actually get the ticket.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
No, this will go through as a as a purchase,
like I will have bought the album when it's actually released,
it'll go through.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Then why are you pre buying? Pre buying an album?
It's why joke?

Speaker 1 (05:48):
No, I get it, But that's stupid business because it's confusing. No,
because if you want to buy, you buy it now,
pre buy. No, I get it, but why not just
buy the album? Just buy the album again? It gets
sent to my account when I got great. I don't
you know what else is stupid? What the Mets spending
time on this? The team Travis Kelsey plays for? You

(06:12):
mean the New Heights podcast team? Did you get paid
for that? I just know, I just I don't. I
don't be in the Heights podcast their podcast. There's an
in the Heights podcast about the Meal Miranda musical. Okay,
I'm sure there's hundreds of Once upon a time there
was a neighborhood in New York call But I really
I still and I don't know, and I feel like

(06:33):
I'm all right, let's bring it back to some kind
of intelligence. But this whole pre pre order doesn't make sense,
says And you got four big Max okay, okay, good god,
it re order all of them, right, and you get
the pre pre eat them all, I sell them?

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Okay, all right, it's still why can't I just buy him?

Speaker 4 (06:54):
Say yes?

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Damn, just say yes and move on already pre Okay,
the pre we'll find out twenty eight minutes. Okay, all right,
we'll all be together to do when you're a bankrupt
in twenty You know what, how about this Taylor Swift?

Speaker 3 (07:09):
Hey?

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Because it works so well, just like you two, give
the album to everybody. Because that worked. Everybody loved that,
no worse his dude, I'm I'm being facetious. Of course,
people were upset about getting a free album from a
band that nobody wanted to about free album from it
long which actually privacy whatever else, It was a pretty

(07:31):
good I gotta say that, you know, you two not
my favorite, but I might not remember that Out of
Joyman Ramone Raised by Wolves, like there are some good
songs on that. Like I enjoyed that album that I
got for free that you would have never consumed otherwise,
Oh because not getting as I wouldn't because not getting
the album for free. Oh well, they didn't have my
all my information. They couldn't do that to me. Oh well, wait,

(07:52):
you did have all my information, like what the thing
was gonna happen? You already, you had already given that
privacy up a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (07:59):
Just give me one.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
If they hurriedly started clicking yes, yes, yes, damn it.
I don't want to do this. Give that album out
for free, see whenever something like that. But you know
you're paying for it, right, you're paying for this album.
It's not a free album, okay, so it must be okay,
it must be all right then, because people to give
away albums when they're not good. Oh no, she's not
giving it even if it's just reciting the alphabet.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
She would sell tens of.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Millions to take the album they're giving you for free,
trust me, Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm with you.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
I they always pay for it if you're gonna take it.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
This album is no good if you give it to
me for free. But if I pay nineteen ninety nine
for it, I bet you it's awesome. Well, if you're
invested with your own money. It's like when you get food, right, Yeah,
that pizza is a lot better when someone else has
bought it. Sure, it always is, yeahs or whatever else.
And I don't have to pre pro the concert or
movie or whatever else. You may not hate a movie

(08:53):
nearly as much if you got to get to go
for free. But I don't have to go into the
pizzeri and say, hey, I want to pre buy this pizza. Okay, great,
you're on the list. I want to, but you might
because they walk out get it. Yeah, because then you
walk out and go get a beer somewhere else and
you come back and your pizza's waiting on you.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Uh uh, so let's let's wait. Too many brains.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
Yes, no, I did, but because the whole pre pre
buying thing is stukay.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Your fan base needs to chill the blank.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
My fan base, the Chicago car fans, Chicago, there is
a lot of them, and they are over the top.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
They all the question about it.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Bears fans need to chill the blank out. Okay, this
weekend the Bears. When Tyson Beagen started, Caleb Williams didn't
even play, and the overwhelming response was Beage, it's the guy.
I love Tyson Beagent. Like, dude, I get, look, it's stupid,
but I get if Caleb Williams doesn't play well and
Beijing does and you think, okay, we're just.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Gonna go to them.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
At some point, I understand he didn't even play, and
it's oh, Beige, it's the guy. Bage's the guy. That's
just stupid. Okay, it's just he's the number one pick
over all the drift. He didn't have a horrible year
last year. Look at his numbers, look at his efficiency.
It wasn't absolutely like you would think. He had a
Zach Wilson type year of eight touchdowns and seventeen picks,

(10:08):
and still for some reason he started seventeen games. That
did not happen for Caleb Williams. Now, he's got a
good coach who's an offensive minded, a coach who knows
that my time here is going to be measured and
judged by how well of a performance I get out
of Caleb Williams because we took him number one, bleeping overall. So,

(10:28):
first of all, for all the people, Caleb Williams is
starting all season, just so you know you're one with
Ben Johnson. He's gonna get all season to show that
he can't do it. But this whole all of a sudden,
because there's stuff going on in the preseason. And he
threw a pass that that what was it, but pass
that he didn't he didn't hit whatever it was. Oh
he had the crazy ass story. Yeah, he had the

(10:50):
little nets that we threw a pass hit a net,
Like that's just stupid, man. Okay, I've seen quarterbacks oh,
look at this long pass down the field and in
some kind of skills competition. You know what that guy
couldn't do in the regular season. I couldn't win a
game like It's like the Bears fan base is so
ready to hate Caleb Williams and turn the page on him,
which is just stupid. Chill the blank out, let the

(11:12):
guy play. I'm telling you, Ben Johnson's a pretty good coach.
He turned Jared Bleeping Golf into a Pro Bowl quarterbacks.
You can get another big contract this year, get another
two hundred million dollars. Okay, you have weapons. Okay, you
got DJ Moore is terrific. Colston lovel and I watch him,
He's fantastic. Roma Dunes a year two. You have dudes

(11:33):
on this team. Man, your team is gonna be better.
You made the offensive line better. You went out and
signed three new starters, including a couple of Pro Bowl guys.
Everything's gonna be fine. But yet this whole Hey, Tyson
bagent Playton, He's got it. You really want Tyson Bingess
to be your quarterback? Sometimes I think you deserve that.
You know what, Bears fans deserve to have Tyson Bajeit
be your guy. Caleb Walliams's gonna have a fine year.

(11:54):
It's gonna throw for four thousand yards, You're gonna throw
thirty touchdowns. He'll be absolutely fine this year. And you're like,
Bear's for everybody. I got one foot off this already
because I'm hearing too many bad reports of how things
are happening in camp, and things are gonna be terrible.
It's gonna be fun. And even if you don't think
it's gonna be fun, you're wasting your breath because he's
got the entire year with Ben Jonson. Well, it's the curiosity,

(12:15):
right of how a small video clip becomes the narrative
for an entire preseason. Doesn't mean that there haven't been
other little snippets of Caleb Williams with Ben Johnson where
they've had their issues. Well, he's trying to teach him
an entirely new system, trying to teach him how to
work efficiently from under center, something he has not done

(12:36):
as a Bear, or going back to his time at USC,
get the ball into a spot, timing routes. All of
those things have not existed in the Caleb Williams history.
Tyson beagent. He was fine, two years ago. He showed
bits and pieces to her like, all right, this guy
could be have a nice career. So they have the
opportunity to other draft Caleb Williams, they do. Agent goes

(12:59):
back to number two when Ben Johnson was asked to assess, well,
you know, beigent and the other guy's on the roster
case keenums there.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Quote. Man, he's been phenomenal, he said of a beagent.
He's smart as a whip.

Speaker 1 (13:10):
Appreciate the seriousness and intent that he brings every time
he walks into a room, meeting, room, walked through, doesn't matter.
He's locked in, he's focused. He continues to go on.
So that quote gets around because well, now you're talking
about a backup. Well, he loves his backup. So maybe
Caleb Williams could have problems all these other things. Yeah,
Caleb had a lot of issues. Last year's numbers were great,

(13:31):
but go back to the sixty eight sacks how many
were on him? And I get it. There's learning curves
to all of this. He had a coach that had
no business being back on the sideline last year, yet
because the McCaskey due business a certain way, there he
was Eberflus was allowed to be back, and what happened
adject failure and they finally pulled the plug. Like I

(13:53):
still shocked the day that went down. Wait, he really
got fired in season.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Bears don't do this.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Chicago in general, they don't do these things. So it
was it was a big deal and a good moving forward.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Kind of moment.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
Now they won the offseason, you retool the offensive line,
you bring in Johnson, You've got the weaponry, as you said,
on the outside, double tight end, all of these things.
The opportunities there, and there's going to be growing pains.
It's not going zero to one hundred. Anybody that suddenly thought,
hey penciled them in for a deep playoff run because
Ben Johnson showed up, No, no, no, You've got to
build from scratch, and it's gonna get to play a

(14:28):
game before you say I hate Caleb Williams, Right.

Speaker 3 (14:30):
It's gonna be ugly, but that olip Hey right.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
But that you get a couple of voices from the outside,
I'm hearing this or I'm seeing this, and it suddenly starts.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
To grow a ground swell and they're in Chicago.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
They get the extra clips and you get one or
two media members that go full on attack mode of
how they don't like him for whatever reason. They decided
Kayla Williams, who done nothing but try to be part
of the city since he showed up, that he's operating
from a negative, you know, good will kind of space.

(15:02):
Going back to last year, folks didn't like the nail painting,
they didn't like the up in the stuff with his
mom when he cried and what like. There's there's just
so much that he's coming back from. But Ben Johnson
can't turn him into a winner in a day exit
out out a Fresco exit Swallen Dome. Everything is fine,
it will be fine. It's you didn't help maddening because

(15:23):
you tried to build them up the air of good time. Yeah,
the team's gonna be a world beat. Now you have
the head cut, now you have it is not my fault,
not my fault inside always so all of a sudden
you can't hit. It's let's bring Hebert Flus back again,
which is like, come on, man, your fault. That's like
getting divorced and saying you don't want to get back
together with my ex. What you mean eventually?

Speaker 3 (15:42):
No, right now?

Speaker 1 (15:43):
But it's really Ben. Bring it back, bring it back,
Bring it back, bring it back. Should have been done,
should have been done, and he still didn't have that.
Baddy told you, Ben Johnson's not a wizard. Though you're
not suddenly an eleven win team. Jason and Mike alve
from the Fox Sports Radios, Dude, he will be just fine.
Coming up next, Yes, we got big stuff out of

(16:04):
college football and a big anniversary that I'd rather not
be commemorating.

Speaker 4 (16:09):
That's next.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Hi.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
This is Jay.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
I'm the producer of the Paula and Tony Fusco Show.
Usually in these promos they asked you to listen to
the show. I'm here to ask you please don't listen
to the show. The hosts are two absolute morons who
have the dumbest takes on sports imagicable. Don't listen to
the show so it can get camps.

Speaker 2 (16:36):
What the hell are you doing out studio?

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Get him, Paulie, Ignore that fool. Listen to the Pauline
Tony Fusco Show on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you
get your podcast.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
He's still moving?

Speaker 3 (16:51):
Is this a new Taylor Swift song? Is this coming
off for a new album?

Speaker 5 (16:55):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Anatomy of what is it? Life of a show girl?
Life of a showgirl? Just a show her?

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Well, her name was Lola. She was a showgirl. But
that was thirty years ago when they used to have
a show. Now it's a disco, but not for Lola.
How is she same dress? She used to wear, faded feathers.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
In her hair. She used to look so refined, but
she drank herself half blind.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
I know the name of her song.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
She lost her youth and she lost her lover. She
lost her mind. You know where this was at at
the blind What?

Speaker 5 (17:30):
No?

Speaker 3 (17:30):
When does she get blind? This is big news? Stop
for how long.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Do you want to know the name of the song?

Speaker 3 (17:40):
What's the favorite song called?

Speaker 4 (17:41):
I'm Dating a Loser?

Speaker 3 (17:45):
How's it go? Can you sing as v bars?

Speaker 5 (17:47):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
If Travis Kelcey ever met you, like he would plant
you into the wall.

Speaker 4 (17:51):
I mean then you would so goliath you think.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Oh slingshot going back to blinding people? See okay?

Speaker 1 (17:59):
No, uh no, he hit him in the middle of
the forehead and he died. He would have no answer
for the Hebrew hammer that did.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
No, No, no, wasn't it. Didn't player have that nickname
Jason after midnight? Yeah, Greenberg.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
Got to glaze over the fact you just told me
Taylor Swift lost her lover. Okay, Lola was a girl, yes,
and she was a show girl.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
She worked at this club. What club?

Speaker 1 (18:33):
She started dating a copacabana. She started dating this guy, Tony,
who was a bartender. Everything was going on about him.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
Uh not in the beginning, No, So then Rico shows up.
Who's this dude, right?

Speaker 1 (18:43):
He wears a diamond and he really wanted to date
Lola and things got physical and there was a big
fight at the club and did someone pulled out a
gun and Tony gets shot he dies. So then I
think I think Rico got arrested. I'm not sure that
maybe where they get the Phraser Rico case. So Rico

(19:03):
gets arrested or taken away, something happens. Lolan never leaves though.
She stays there and dances, which is kind of a
weird choice. She heed for thirty years and the whole
thing that was a club and then it became something
else and something else. You stayed there the whole time
and basically just you know, spent her life pining for Tony,
who was her lover who died after getting shot most

(19:24):
likely by Rico or one of Rico's henchmen. Lost the
ticket out by the way, hebrew Hammer, I was correct.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
It was any Greenberger. Okay, good, But also it was
the name of.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
A two thousand and three comedy movie starring Adam Goldberg,
Judy Greer, Andy Dick, Mario Van Peebles, and many others.
Oh that was called That was the straight to video movie, right.
Mordecai Carver trs mercilessly for his heritage and by his

(19:54):
Christmas celebrating classmates and neighbors.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
My cover, Thanks Miking.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
After midnight, I now get gave you up after midnight,
After minute, when you find Frostburger's burner accounts.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
That's what his burner accounts. Remember after midnight, Jays, I'm
still confused. Okay, is it like the grandma? What do
you don't need you after? That's a pretty simple story.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Oh okay, I thought Taylor Swift started writing songs at
home when she was a teenager.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
I didn't know she was cancer for thirty years. No, no,
this was Lola.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
This is somebody different. Oh, this is somebody completely different.
Why'd you correlate them? She had she had yellow ribbons
in her hair and a dress cut down to there.
She could merengue. She had the chat Shaw.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
We don't know right now.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
The genesis of Taylor's album Life of a Showgirl could
be about Lola and just kind of do you know
this much about her?

Speaker 3 (20:42):
About Lola?

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, pems cool with that, yeah yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah,
oh yeah yeah, and you and you and Lola, Lola.
Well look lo Lola. They only had eyes for Tony. No, yeah,
but then Tony was done. Well, I mean Tony Tony
made a bad decision. So for the next thirty years
while she danced, there was not another Tony or five.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Oh I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
I think she held Maybe the kid came out, It
came and came around.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
That was the whole thing for the story there was.

Speaker 1 (21:09):
It doesn't mean that you didn't participate nocturnal act, you know,
you know, they would have said that would have been
another party, no story.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
There would have been another verse to the story if
that was because she could still do all that and
still be pining for Tony.

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Now, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, that's a that's
a different that's a different story entirely.

Speaker 3 (21:27):
That would be after Tony dies and oh well now
I'm on to somebody else.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
No no, no, no, still pining, still have no, it
doesn't mean that. That's what I don't seek salas for
a couple hours, you know where you just want the
world to stop. One of those animals that made for
life one of the day they made they made for life, right,
that's what they did.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Was it lobsters?

Speaker 1 (21:44):
I don't know that was the Phoebe boof Ale. But
these are lobsters. These are the these are I'm gonna
bet a lobster like Brian Krantz tried to do it
in the studio.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Uh no, I'm pretty sure Lola was a one one
one guy woman, one woman, one guy woman.

Speaker 1 (22:02):
That was Lola. She met Tony. Yeah, but then there's
thirty years. Nah, she wouldn't have standed, she wouldn't have stayed.
She would have left and gone someplace. Shelly dancing, that
was I think she would Well, I don't know that.
I mean, she wasn't twenty four seven. Yeah, she still
has some semblements of a life. Yeah, try to feel
the emptiness of your lost tony. Yeah, okay, all right,

(22:23):
all right, but she lost her youth, and she lost
her tony, and she also lost her mind.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
All those things. It's a lot, nah. I mean, that
would be the that would be if it was a TV.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
Show and the psychiatrist she talked to and all of
a sudden that, yeah, that would be his And I
love that.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Tycher still has no idea what we're talking. No, I'm
sure he does. He's a wise man. No idea.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Okay, so hey, happy anniversary, although it's not an anniversary.
Ten years ago today the locker room sucker punch heard
around the world. Jet's quarterback Gino Smith embroiled in a
disagreement with then teammate I kN and Polly over six
hundred dollars, was punched in the mouth, had his jaw broken,

(23:04):
and the Jets still haven't recovered from what is the
most This was worse than the butt fumble all over
six hundred bucks. Yeah, six hundred dollars that the quarterback
wouldn't pay a guy who was a backup linebacker. That
he actually said what are you gonna do if I
don't pay you? And he sucker punched him from behind.
Pretty much ended his career as a starter for the

(23:24):
next decade until he finally over the next eight years.
So he finally got it back going a couple of
years ago when the Seahawks sign him because Pete Carroll said, yeah,
I don't know, maybe you'll work. All right, let's figure out.
I hate Russell Wilson, so how about we go with you.
He's also the guy that ended Eli Manning's games played
streak Yeah yeah, which was a terrible look for the coach,

(23:45):
and certainly Gino gets tagged with that.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
I still remember being on the treadmill at the gym
and seeing that alert because that was been when the
alerts would come to your phone, like the alert came
in Jets Geno Smith has jaw broken in locker room
fight and I go, this can't be real.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
No, it's real, It's absolutely right.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
And then I remember watching an ESPN broke into programming
and I said, this is going to be Now, this
the entire show tonight. This is the story of the
entire preseason. Only the Jets could have their quarterbacks, their
potential star quarterbacks, jaw broken because of a disagreement over
six hundred dollars that he wouldn't pay back.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Yeah, and you've never been right.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
You were the Jets ever since No, no, and now
and you've been adding hope, hope, hope. And it's not
like they couldn't see it coming right, looked into the hill.
Gino didn't see it coming because it was a sucker punch. Obviously,
I'm saying, Jets bringing dude in who assaulted an officer
and had to be tased as a nineteen year old, like,

(24:46):
we like him.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
That's the kind of attitude we need on our defense.
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
And the Jets had fired Rex Ryan, who and the
Jets cut him right away and Rex Ryan, with the
head coach of the Bills, picked him up right away.

Speaker 3 (24:56):
Made him a teddy, get hurt.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Yeah, made him a team captain against the Jets, and
they played against him. And then you would think, and
this is where the story Actually it's not just a
tenth anniversary.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
It is, but it brings it to today.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
It's like kind of like getting a fresh remake of
an eighty song, going wow, it was relevant then, it's
relevant now.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Like so you heard a new version of Everybody Wants
to Rule the World?

Speaker 1 (25:16):
You had no, No, Oh my god. They played out
at the water park I went to this weekend. I
wanted to leave. I wanted to I'm like, oh, come on, man,
they played all that was something that was going to activate,
like burderous rage, like you were back in the Kingsman
must kill the Queen, like I'm Reggie Jackson.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
At the end of a naked gun.

Speaker 5 (25:34):
No.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
So it comes full circle because of the story the
last few days. Geno Smith now going to get fined
for double middle fingering the crowd in Seattle. Friday night,
first game back in Seattle, after going to the Las
Vegas Raiders, he and Max Crosby double middle fingers to
the crowd. Somebody held up a sign that said Gino Smith,

(25:55):
who's a bigger buzz himrh JaMarcus Russell, Pete Carroll gets
in and we tried to jump to grab the sign out.

Speaker 3 (25:59):
Of the standards.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm like, what the hell are the Raiders doing? Man,
once a raider? Oh hey, you thought these guys maybe
they're gonna no, no, no, they're full Raiders now. Gino Smith, Raider,
Pete Carrol Raider, Gino Smith, you would have thought, Hey,
I learned my lesson from that big my incident where
I couldn't pay a teammate back six hundred bucks and
kind of flexed on him in the locker room when

(26:20):
I'm supposed to be a leader. No, No, I would have
learned from that immaturity. No, ten years later, almost to
the day, I'm gonna double middle finger to the crowd
because one guy at a preseason game brought a sign
that didn't really make sense. And I'm the quarterback and
the leader of the team, and I'm gonna double middle
finger of the crowd. Like up, you know what, You're

(26:41):
a Raider and you're still the immature guy you were, then, right,
showing me that nothing is changed in ten years that
Gino Smith could have learned his lesson.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
Hey, I'm a backup now for a wild boy.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Really gonna put my head on straight out. But I
get this gift where Pete Carroll believes in me. So
I get money from Seattle. Now I get one hundred
million dollars from the Raiders. No, I'm still that same
immature guy, and I got my head coach now defending
me because Pete Carroll said, oh, did you see the sign?
Because he was asked yesterday, why did you try to.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
Jump and grab that sign in the crowd? Did you
see the sign?

Speaker 1 (27:10):
It was a stupid sign, and your seventy three year
old Pete Carroll jumping in the air to try to
grab it like he's like a fifteen year old was
playing keep away at lunchtime in the locker room. This
is so embarrassing on all levels, but raiders, so I
kind of get it. But still you would think that
Pete Carroll and Gino Smith would know better. No, they don't.
Maybe they did know better, but they put on the
uniform and now it's hey Raiders. But I don't know

(27:32):
who I'm more embarrassed for, Gino Smith or Pete Carroll. Well,
Pete Carroll showed great leaping aptitude and ability, so he
clearly doesn't skip leg day. He still has some seventy
three Thank goodness. There's no video for I leek. There's
pictures of him jumping in it, but I want to
figure out what kind of vertical he had. Someone's got
to be able to extrapolate from that photo. That was
pretty damn cool. That's that's if only that was on

(27:55):
somebody's wall where they were measuring the height of their kids.
Then we'd have some idea about but you junk it,
photoshop that into someone with a magic.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Marker, like, hey, here's your line, here's where you are.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
No, I think that works, but I look at it
for Gino Smith of you've gotten to that next space
where you could have let this all go. Of course
you should have, and Ca said, my quarterback shouldn't be
worried about flipping people. He should have for one sign,
but he should have pointed it out to Max Crosby laughed,
gone and had a polaroid with the guy throw back

(28:27):
to Rocky three, and then signed it for him. Fox Crosby,
that's on brand for him. Man, Yeah, Max Krok does whatever. Man,
that's great. It's also a terrible ass sign it is.
It's an offline like that doesn't amazing stuff.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Poster board. I mean we're going back to school now.

Speaker 1 (28:40):
Kids are gonna need that for their science fair projects,
for the presentations that they're gonna do. It's not all
on power point. It's not all up on a screen. No, no, no,
you can still have hard copy poster board. You could
have made a much more clever sign. That's not even funny,
that's not even a good sign to belie. It doesn't
even make sense. Terrible because he's not a bust anymore.
He got one hundred million dollar contract from the Raiders. Like,

(29:03):
the sign was stupid, Pete Carroll jumping to grab it
was stupid, and Gino Smith flipping her is stupid. Right,
but again again, I look at it Raiders, so okay,
I mean, come on, man, just a tiller. It's just
a terrible sign.

Speaker 3 (29:16):
Though.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Man, it's like this is when it all started bad,
and it ended with these guys being dopes. Instead of
just laughing about it and moving on, you flip them off.
Now you're gonna pay more than a six hundred dollars fine, right,
Roger Gell's up having a letter printing for less.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Than a thousand.

Speaker 1 (29:31):
I wonder if Pete Carroll sitting there going boy, if
I wasn't a Raider, I think I would have just
called out Gino Smith and said, my quarterback needs to
be smarter. But I'm a Raider. So I tried to
jump and grab the sign. He was possessed by Raiderdomo.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
That was it? Tell him no, how to find out
what's trending in the way quarter.

Speaker 1 (29:47):
That's a guy who's been called the Pete Carroll of
Fox Sports Radio. He likes to wear those big wide
Nike Air Monarchs. It's he the seger. I can jump.
I can still jump even at my old age. Is
