(00:23):
Smith Show with Mike Harmon on Fox Sports Radio. You know,
I listened to Brian Suddenly do the updates the entire
time on the Odd Couple, and it was Astro's beat
the Mets, Astro's win, say no, no no, and then
we get the awe the Mets completely blow it to
the Astro. You know, Harmon, it's one of those nights,

(00:44):
one of those nights, my friend, how are you about it? Well,
he pulled one of those moves yesterday where he took
shots at the my my beloved Northwestern Wildcats, but in
a situation where he didn't draw breath. So he's like,
all right, blank you, I got the line in on
your school, and I'm just gonna keep going through scores
like hold on a second, allow me to retort, took

(01:06):
shots at the White Sox, White Sox with a big
come from behind victory. Look, we're talking about him, so
it's a good strategy on his bar, just like all
the knucklehead basketball players, football players, whatever. Of Hey, I've
got a podcast or some new media hashtag new media,
uh proposition that I want you to listen to. So
I'm gonna say something controversial or or inflammatory. And well

(01:30):
that's what he's done here by just kind of tagging
out at the end of that update Twitter, and how
about a fresca Mike gets swollen down the Jason Smith
Show with my best friend Mike har But if you're
a valued customer, you deserve a simple gesture of appreciation
from your credit card company. That's why I discover matches
all the cash back you've ere in the ENDIA first
year Discover exceptionally common sense. Learn more at discover dot com.

(01:52):
Slash match limitations they do apply well. Before we get
into the NFL, let me just say, remember I told
you before the seasons started, Aaron Judge was going to
be the a L M v P. Two more home
runs all rise trending everywhere he's got twenty seven right now. Um,
he will break and he's gonna say he's gonna break

(02:13):
Marris's record, like you know, all the other ones don't count.
He's gonna break maritsis wreck. He's gonna get sixty one
seven home runs. Here we are in the middle of June,
Yankees trailing the Rays four three. But again, I told
you in the preseason Aaron Judge was gonna win a
l m v P my Carmen Well. I also gave
you a nice pick who hit his twenty one against
your team today. Uh, you're Don Alvarez now with twenty

(02:36):
one home runs, fifty one RB I at batting a
robust three fifteen on the season for the Astros. You know,
the Astros and Yankees ready to get it on as
we get towards the weekend, so good times ahead. He's
got no chance against Aaron Judge. He's got absolutely no
chan Well, I mean, look, if he can get inside
the body a little bit, because your Don's big, but

(02:57):
he's not Aaron Judge big. So with the reach yet
Judge has him a little bit. Wait, we weren't talking pugilists,
got no you really think the voters are gonna yeah,
we're gonna go vote Alvarez over, and no voters are
voting right now. It's like during the finals, let's vote
Curry m v P. But it's only midway through game
one on no no vote in the m v P.

(03:18):
The votes are already in for Aaron Judge now they're
already being tabulated. It's done, it's finished. Look at that,
it's showing that New York bias throwing it in. I mean,
why don't we revisit the Manny Ramirez comments the other
night that everybody well really butchered. How they analyze those
I didn't bother to do the long dive on it,
but yes, Boston and New York they treat you differently.

(03:39):
The expectations are bigger, and you go to great heights,
and when you do well, you know what, the the
the Laurel Crown will find your head. And I think
right now for Aaron Judge, that's probably the likelihood. But
you know what, there's a lot of baseball to be played,
my friend, there is a lot of baseball to be played.
Because look, I don't want to be that guy, but

(04:02):
is he playing a hundred fifty? Doesn't matter if he
hit us. If he does that, then he defies logic
in this MLB season where the ball seems to die.
Although the last two weeks all of a sudden offenses up.
It was almost like, hey, you know what, summer's coming.

(04:24):
Switch to those other balls we made allegedly allegedly allegedly,
but a lot of pictures are on record saying something
don't feel right. Uh, and hasn't felt right all season long.
And suddenly, I mean, how many yesterday? I look at
that Angels game we're watching show? Hey, Otani put on
a show with his three run, Jack's twelve ten, your

(04:44):
final Royals, Bobby Witt Jr. With a couple of home
runs in that game for all you trading card prospectors
out there. But about time I thought they were gonna contend.
I thought Bobby Witt Jr. Was gonna be great right away?
Well what you thought they were going to contend? Well?
For a for a playoff spot? Remember they were there
were my surprise playoff team. Surprise. I was wrong with
surprise again. A lot of baseball to be played. Uh yeah,

(05:07):
surprises abound. Aaron Judge went off at thirty to one
on for a l MV No, No, I didn't, but
seems really kind of that was pretty good. I'm looking
at it right now, right, I'm looking at it right
now in New York Post thirty to one on April five,
I went off at thirty to one. Now he's like,
even now an election, they can't believe they might not

(05:31):
even take the bets now at this point, No, I
can't take it. We're not taking your money. Sorry, they'll
be happy to take slam the money to slam the
window down, not taking your money. Uh so we'll keep
you up. Maybe it's another one. You know, Yankees are
still playing, still batting here in the in the eighth inning,
down four three to the race. But a really sad
story today in the NFL. Look a couple of sad stories.

(05:51):
You know, we said we were wrapped the death of
Jalen Ferguson earlier in the day. And then another big
shocker tragic Tony Saragosa the Goose dies at the age
of fifty five, one of the biggest players and personalities
in the NFL, winning a Super Bowl with the Ravens
and two thousand. Remember you got famous for you know,

(06:12):
you knocking run rich Gannon out of the game and
and uh, you know, being one of the lynch pins
of that great Ravens, the two thousand Ravens defense, which
people talk about as being one of the greatest of
all time. But it's where he made his mark as
a broadcaster that really stood out, because you know, I
go back and I remember when he first made the
transition from I'm a football player into the booth. He

(06:34):
was that can't miss guy. And I remember the radio
interviews he would do were must listen radio because he
would come on and he was that first hey, non quarterback,
can't miss guy, right like you we always see hey,
the quarterbacks that were called like BOOMERI. Siason was a
can't miss guy when he was gonna finish playing in
the NFL, and he jumps to the booth. And there's

(06:56):
a lot of quarterbacks have been the can't miss guys.
And you see all the all the players now that
are signing big deals with Tom Brady's gonna be a
big star when he retires, Tony Romo, Ryan Fitzpatrick's gonna
wind up being a big star. Everybody likes the quarterbacks
because we know the quarterbacks they meet with the media,
they they have already the wherewithal of what it's like
to deal with the media. So yeah, I get why
the quarterbacks are looked at great. But Sara Goosa was

(07:19):
was you know, his defensive tackle and he and he
and and and he just shows up and he's like,
yead he starts telling these amazing stories and he's tell
stories about food and about what he was eating. And
he did so many radio interviews that every time he
was on, it was, hey, this is what Tony Saragosa said. Right,
if Saragosa was coming around now, he would be a

(07:40):
twenty million dollar a year broadcaster. He would be someone
that if he was finishing his playing days now, we
have to go get Tony Saragosa. Right, they have social
media when he was on, I mean this is this
is two thousand, two thousand one, two thousand two, and
this is before Twitter, this is before anything. And Saragosa
was that big. His super His platform was like, hey,
can you get on the air and do interviews? Right,

(08:01):
That's what it was. Can you get on television and
do interviews? Can you get on the radio and do interviews?
That's what people had in the early two thousand's, right
before the big break of social media and he was
this big star. It was unbelievable. If he came out now,
he would be it would it would be like a
like a Brady war because look at this guy who's
a defensive tackle that cuts through the clutter, and he

(08:23):
can talk about the game unlike anybody else. He's unafraid
to tell stories. He's unafraid to to to open up
the and pull the curtain back in the locker room.
He would be as big as he was when he
came out. He would be even bigger now if he
if he started his career now in the National Football
League and being a broadcaster. Yeah. I mean the biggest
thing about Saragosa is that you know he was in

(08:44):
every Man, Right. You talk about the quarterbacks in their shots, Well,
you know they're the guys we see. So anybody who's
a casual and mag casual, I triple underscore it. Uh.
You walk into a room on a Sunday because people
are watching football in your house and you really couldn't
give uh, I couldn't give a care on any way,
shape or form. It's just there and permeates the room.

(09:07):
You You learned the quarterbacks names, right, you see them
in commercials. You see them around and the names are
bandied about in your office place or around the playgrounds
or whatever else. Guy like Saragosa, well, you know, he
was the guy for the rest of us that you know.
I've always been a big fan of the defensive tackle position.
Why because I was a fire hydrant. Uh, and that's

(09:27):
where I was. I was playing finding my way in
the muck and the meyer there, uh and getting through.
But you know, spoke like an every day guy. His
shows after he was done, a lot about food, a
lot about you know, building, man caves, all of those
things showed up in the Sopranos and all that. But

(09:48):
he had that every man quality. We we we used to
have him on, you know, the network all the time
as a member of the Fox family, and he'd come
on and and have a story or two and would
get down to brass tacks of all ran how do
you beat up this quarterback? Well? What you need to do? Uh?
And it wasn't the usual. It's like, well, if you
get pressure at his feet? No, no, no, He'd had
specifics for quarterbacks and how to get after it. Right.

(10:11):
You know what I did, I said to this guy
after I hit him once you don't have the guts
to throw that ball downfield. Like. He would tell stories
like that, not just hey I'm setting up this guy
with this move and this. He was like, you know
what I said to him once in the middle of
the game, you know what he said back to me,
and you'd be like like like like a fish with
a hook in its mouth, like would tell me, what
did you say? What did you say? It was? I mean,
that was that was it? Because it was this is

(10:32):
when I was first starting my broadcasting career, right and
in the early two thousands, one Goosse was there and
I was like, I saw the power of what it
was when you can be that person as an athlete
and it's not just a quarterback. And it was, I mean,
it was. It was amazing to listen to and I
was jealous and I was and I was wishing that
I'd be able to be able to tell stories like
that that he could tell because everything he said was

(10:55):
funny and everything was different. It wasn't just your your
your normal analyst stuff. He could break down the game.
But let's face it, how much do you listen when
guys talk about breaking down and hey, why did so
and so get this sack. Well you see what happens.
He uses a head slap or the double spin movie. Yeah,
what a great move by Aaron Donald. Yeah, Aaron Donald's
a great player. Who's paying attention that. But when he's
telling a story about h you know, I I talked

(11:17):
to John Jansen in the off season, or I was
able to talk to Jake Long and he did that
and I told him and I said, when I play you,
I'm gonna do this. I mean, that's what you listen to.
That's what made him such a such a great listen
it's such a great personality. Well he was down on
the sidelines, let's throw it down to and there'd be
the pause, Alright, Goose, what are you got for us?
Now it's like, I don't know you, like the producers,

(11:39):
you had no idea, no matter what was planned. Yeah, yeah,
yeah what He very easily could have gone off script,
and oftentimes he did, Hey what am I throwing down
to Goose for? I don't know. He just he says
he's got something, Just say hey to Goose. Okay, hey Goose,
what do you got for us? And he would just
do whatever, Yeah, and I look, I've been doing spots

(11:59):
with it. The guy in Baltimore, I mean one of
the first things I ever did radio wise, and and
all throughout you know, been been doing it weekly and
you know, talking to the guys that have worked you know,
and producing and and you know, trying to be showrunners
there in Baltimore. Uh, to a man as you exchange
text messages today, like that was the guy that was

(12:20):
always like, yeah, what do you got. Alright, alright, let's
let's get wild weight. You're doing a remote were it's like, okay,
I could probably make it that kind of thing, like
generous with his time, with his storytelling. Uh. And just
a guy that was beloved in that city. And you know,
we we talked about it, and we obviously as a broadcaster,
right had that larger than life persona going back to

(12:43):
Hard Knocks and through his tenure with Fox, but remembering
the player that the guy was and now that defense
is so revered it doesn't work without him up front. Yeah,
let's seven pounds of defensive tackle and said that's there
on the blind. Yeah, stuff to do that. That's why
they gave up like eight yards a game on the ground. Well,

(13:04):
where you're gonna run, well not there where else are
gonna run Well, not there, I forget it. We're gonna
lose by fifty anyway. What are we worried about bullies
up front? I mean, look, I I've always talked about
the establishment of the wall of mean right in the
fictional house along the lake. At some point it's gonna
be all Jerseys that acquire of guys that just clogged
holes and dominated up fronts, Guys like Hellodi Nada, guys

(13:27):
like Tony Saragos so that really, you know, changed how
you ran an offense and did things on their own terms.
And you know, obviously they really broken hearted from the
people of Baltimore. Between Ferguson and Sara Goosa, just a
very difficult day. Rest in peace, Goose, fifty five years old,

(13:48):
Tony Saragosa. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm
Eastern seven pm Pacific. Today was a big day in
the NFL, and we can tell you how this drama
with Daniel Snyder and the Washington commanders is going to end.
It's been a big day the last couple of days.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell testifying today in front of Congress

(14:11):
about the Daniel Snyder situation, the ongoing scrutiny into the
Watching Commander's workplace culture, and accusations from various women employees
about sexual harassment by team executives. This has been a
pretty big story over the course of the past few months,
and now it looks like maybe we could be getting
answers from Roger Goodell and company and how this is

(14:31):
going to wind up ending for Daniel Snyder. Daniel Snyder
who says, Oh, I'm traveling, I can't I can't testify here,
and many other people who would be testifying for this
in front of Congress are off in Italy and different blocks.
We can't we're out of the country. We can't testify.
But the big money quote today comes from Roger Goodell,
before we get into the ridiculousness of it, the big

(14:52):
money quote from Roger Goodell when he was on the
stand today, asked about many lawmakers about many different things.
He was asked if he could remove Daniel Snyder as
owner of the Washington Commanders after all of these allegations
have been levied, and Roger Gondell's response was, quote, I

(15:12):
don't have the authority to remove him. All right, let's
stop for one second. He let's stop for one second.
Does Roger Goodell have the universal right to say, Hey,
Daniel Snyder, I'm removing you. No, of course he doesn't.
He can't do that. But he could call for a vote,
because you need twenty four the thirty two owners to say, hey, uh, yes,

(15:33):
we're okay with removing Daniel Snyder as owner of the NFL.
He has the power to put that into play. He
has the power to make this conversation happen, and he
has not. He's gone from every other day of the year.
The other three sixty four days of the year. It's
I'm the commissioner of the NFL. What I say is
the law? Today it was I'm just the commissioner. I mean,

(15:55):
I really, I don't. I don't have a lot of power.
I mean, I know what you're asking me for. You
gotta ask Jerry Jones some of these other guys. I'm
just the commissioner. I can't do it. Every other day
is ay what I say? O todays I'm just I'm
just the commissioner. What what what do you want me
to do? Look, this is a ridiculous show. Um, and
it's embarrassing for the NFL that here is a this
is a very big story about a toxic workplace culture

(16:16):
and you have many accusations and the NFL has sat
around and just said, hey, Daniel Snyder, don't just don't
be around for a while. Uh, you know, as as
as ridiculous as it is, I'll tell you how this
is gonna wind up ending. This will end with the
NFL forcing Daniel Snyder or convincing him that he has
to sell the team. That's how this is gonna end.

(16:37):
And they will give him a year to sell the team,
and he will sell it. There will be a they'll
be blind bids for it, which will also increase the
amount of value of the franchise because if you're seeing things,
the Washington Commanders can go for what four billion, five billion,
six billion? Someone wants wants to own a football team. Uh.
This is how it's gonna eventually wind up ending is
that he doesn't get removed from from hour and removed

(17:00):
from running Washington Commanders. Is that he will be convinced, hey,
you have to sell the team, and that will be
the agreement. This is this is how we go forward.
This is embarrassing for the NFL because many of the
of the um comments today by the House committee that
investigated the NFL over this situation with Washington. We're really bad. Hey,

(17:21):
the NFL conducted a shadow investigation. They allowed this uh
sham situation to continue. It is on them. It is
their fault. This was not a good day for the NFL.
So eventually, that's how it's going to end. It's gonna be, Hey,
you gotta sell the team. This is just really bad.
We're not protecting the shield. We gotta move on. You
tried to give Jon Gruden and Bruce Allen up as

(17:42):
a sacrificial lamps. Okay, it's not working. We just got
slapped around by Congress here. So yeah, this is how
it's gonna end, with Daniel Snyder selling the team. Well,
the fact that he denied the ability on an invitation
to come in and then has to be subpoena is dumb.
The fact that anybody that has worked in the organization

(18:02):
for the last two years are writing a character witness
type letters releasing them to the media to say, oh, no,
I mean the last two years. I mean I'm Ron Rivera,
I was hired with the directive of here's where we're going.
It's like, what are we doing, Like you're basically raising
your hands saying yeah, no, absolute trash, but look we're changing.

(18:25):
Like that doesn't erase everything that's in the past, right,
Jason Right, Ron Rivera. Everybody in the executive offices now
can scream until they're blue in the face of it's
a different world around here. Well, Daniel Snyder's still cutting
checks saying he's not running the day to day. Is
anybody believing that? I mean, really you no, no, no no,

(18:46):
my wife's gonna be in charge and we won't talk
about it at all. Yeah, they're believing that. Roger Goodell
sometimes he's got you you love to say, hey, you
know all the power in the world, and then other times, hey,
I'm just the coach. While he's doing just a commissioner,
I mean, what do you want from me? So just
a cloud show? Now? Some of the the tone tenor

(19:07):
of the folks asking questions of the commissioner at times
like all right, it's obvious you don't like the NFL
or past decisions by the NFL. You're frustrated that the
Washington Football team slash commanders have been terrible, uh for
a long time, whatever the case may be. Uh, you know,
at some point you're still a professional as well, So

(19:27):
I act like you've been there. But for for Roger
Goodell is going up and he's got to be the guy, right,
That's why he gets paid his fifty million dollars sixty
million dollars a year. Uh, and and he wears it,
you know. For Daniel Snyder, I think it's the other
owners have to make the decision, right, all right, is
he still good enough to be in our club? Because really,

(19:47):
what's behind door number three? Is there? Right? What's in
the stacks of evidence that can continue to leak out
beyond the allegations that are in the public public sphere?
Right for him? I I I still see him sitting there, Jason,
I don't. I don't. I don't think he goes quietly
into the good night. He may not go quietly, but
eventually that's how it's going to end. I mean, he

(20:09):
already gave up the name. I didn't think that was
gonna happen. Well, he's trying. It's this is just and
they shouldn't have gone away from the football team, by
the way, Well, that would have been better. Command. I'm
I'm kind of coming around the commanders a little bit.
I mean, I'm saying it more often. They make Russell
Crow his uh the Master and Commander should he should
have gotten his uh his okay, and and maybe he

(20:32):
should trade trademark Master and Command. There's a picture of
me that they used the DVD. Wait Frost, but you
didn't like Master and Commander. Which part of it? It
was like six hours long? Well it was. There's no
short movies that are about, you know, hundreds of years ago.
They always have to be these laws. You know, there's
gonna be no brisk hour and a half movie looking

(20:53):
back at something in history. It's gonna be, oh, we
need the scope of five hours to tell this story. Now,
I think people pretty much know what the eighteen and
a half. You tell a better story, Get out of here.
You can give me a Titanic could have been a
brisk ninety minutes a right just before, can I just
tell you I've actually never seen it in its entirety, Titanic, Really,

(21:16):
you've never seen the movie. I think I've probably seen
it all between Instagram and take and clips and and
obviously everybody's celebrating the the styles and uh, well the
majesty of Kate Winslet. But the we won't tell you
how it ends, no, and well, and that's one of

(21:36):
the reasons I protested about the movie existing. Well, the
thing is that the end before. But listen, I'll tell
you exactly how it ends, because I look, they catch Leo.
They catch him doing a lot of drugs, and he
falls outside his car and and they get into his
business and they wind up catching him and he goes
to jail. And then John Hammond shows up takes stuff

(21:58):
from that stone and it's Jurassic and then he fights
a bear and he loses, and they carry him around
for a long time. And that's where the whole heart
of the Ocean comes from, because they carry him all
the way to the ocean and and then they let
him go into the ocean. And then he fights the bear. Now,
since we've brought all the pool, we already fought already
said he fought the bear. Yeah, well you fight him again.
Then he fights Bill the Butcher. No, no no, no, that's in.

(22:20):
That's in. That's in Titanic to be again. Yeah, Bill
the Butcher would be a nice addition to the eating
as well. There's no question but mentioning Russell Crowe just
because we're there. Uh is a guy that complains about
comic book movies or whatever. He was Joel and now
he's showing up in Zeus so he can shut up. Wow,

(22:42):
he's showing up in the new UH four movie as Zeus.
Come on, man, all right, you're telling the check shut up?
All right, Well it's okay, you look. Love and Thunder
is supposed to be pretty good. Well, I expected to
be funny. And if it's late night and you've been
able to do a little elbow bending, or maybe it's TV,
so you know it's gonna be fun. He's you know,

(23:04):
if if if this isn't a fun movie, to take
a white tt, I cringe at what the next Star
Wars movie is gonna wind up being. Hey, I mean
the Canope ended today, Doug, Doug, I haven't seen it yet.
I just I watched the first Yeah, I'm gonna spoil
the whole damn thing because I just spoiled Titanic for you. Yeah,
you took that away from me. That's what Doug did say. Doug.

(23:27):
Doug's dead, all right, Doug. That's Doug. Doug's over there.
Oh Doug's dead. Anytime you meet somebody named Doug, the
first thing he says, oh Doug's dead, and to see
if they get it, and then they look at me
and go yeah, okay, yeah, okay, get it. Or they
say that guy's got problems. That's Doug, He's got problems.

can't say on talk. No, I can't say on the
Hall of Job Good. I'll get out on the podcast.
Oh great, I've just missed your unlimited. I'm just walking
around my house last you days, just going Soldia boy,

(25:41):
Soldier boy, Soldier boy, Soldier boy. That's all I'm doing. Well,
what we've been doing is we've been taking sniffets from
the podcast and putting them on TikTok to try to
incorporate new you know, listeners to the shows. And it's
it's worth. Tracy McGrady went up like fifteen thousands of
listeners and we did a video for it, so it's

(26:02):
it's very encouraging. Could you imagine if I put a
video of you on zoom saying some bad words in
your Carl Urban voice, it goes viral on tickto Let
let me text Scotcha Piro, our manager, and see what
he thinks about that, and if he's okay with it,
then I'm okay with it. No, you know what, I
have an idea also, we can just do it as

(26:23):
an assume name. You should just be somebody else. Oh,
I'll just you can give us your real name instead
of your nom de plume, Jason Smith. We're here with
Brian Stiff, former Denver Nugget star who's going to talk
to us about the boys. Instead of instead of you
being Alex English, you could be Alajandro Espanol. I can
do I can do that. That's that's gonna be my

(26:45):
my alias. Right there? Uh sets Hall of Justice podcast
available again. Everything is there on Twitter at seth underscore
every cow with spoilers coming out first thing in the
morning with spoilers. Okay, I gotta because I gotta watch
the to it tonight. I'm about halfway into it. Had
to come to work. Why why? I understand watch it
first and then listen to the episode. And the first

(27:06):
thing in the show notes says, morning, don't listen unless
you've seen the show. Very We're very courteous. We're very
courteous at the podcast. All right, that's good. I'm glad
you want you want to let people know about spoilers
and if you found them not all right? I like that.
I dig that right. You don't want to be a
jerk and say, like Han Solo died Nextode Steven, Wait
what Han Solo died? Yes, well you know this guy

(27:30):
did that with his buddy j j Abram. No no no.
I gave a big, bold prediction before the movie came
out that Han Solo's character was gonna die and I
turned out to be right. Yeah, that's that's right. But
saying it on social media, that's rude. But saying, hey,
we're going to talk about something in a podcast, don't

(27:51):
press play unless you do. That's very courteous, right, Like
I could say, hey, The Boys is clearly leading up
to killing Homelander and Soldier Boy replacing him as the
big evil villain in it. Can I can give you
all the lines going up. You have Superman and Captain America.
There's only room for one. You can't not kill Homelander
after all these things are happening and all and how great,

(28:14):
Oh my god, Anthony Starr is unbelievable as Homelander. Unbelievable,
Oh my goodness. Yeah, the show is fantastic. But what
I love about shows like that, like The Umbrella Academy Invincible. Uh,
you know, there's all these different shows, Jupiter's Legacy. It's
all these comic book creators that got sick and tired

(28:34):
of writing stuff for g C and Marvel and not
getting paid for it. They're going to create their own
hybrid versions of the Justice League. And that's what they did,
and they've done it, and they've done it brilliant. Well, well,
speaking of spoilers, we need to say this because I
know you're watching the Stanley Cup. Finally not The Boys. Uh.
It is now a three games to one lead for
the Avalanche. They score, and uh, it looks like the

(28:57):
Avs are just one game away from hoisting the Stanley Cup.
Look at Joe Saki, he's so excited the Lanch in
overtime and I could call him the Lanch like Harmon
doesn't think the Lanches a nickname. I did you know
I did pro pre and post game for that team
for two years? Who didn't you do pre and post game? Four? Right? Well,

(29:18):
did I want to tell you my great Patrick wat story?
Why do you get in a fight with him? No? No, no, no. Uh.
The Avalanche are playing the Edmonton Oilers in a seven
game series. It goes to Game seven at the old
McNichols Arena and the Avalanche network tells me, Hey, if
they win, you're going on the ice and you're going
to interview the m v P of the series and

(29:40):
we're gonna put it through the p A system as
well as on the radio. I was what, And they said, yeah,
you're going on the ice, And I said, could you
have told me that before? I decided to wear loafers.
And the whole time I am rooting against the Avalanche
because I don't want to go on the ice and
slip and fall and make a fool of myself. I'm
t four years old and I go over on the

(30:02):
side and I'm hanging onto the railing for dear life.
And Patrick was the m v P of the series.
He comes over. He sees I'm nervous, and he shows me.
You know how you can take your skates and you
make the guy all wet, but hamps are now shooked
and we do a ninety second interview. The Great Mike
Hanes talks to me. We do a great uh ninety

(30:25):
second and afterwards, as I'm tossing it upstairs, he leans
over and says, excuse me, can you get up of
my arm? Please? Why I was? I had my holding
on for dear life. I was holding on for dear life,
and I dug my hand into his arm. He goes,

(30:45):
excuse me, can you get up of my arm? Please?
Did that go over the loudspeaker? I think so, yeah,
this is R seven, this is and I could not
There's no footage of this, but all I cared about
was that I wasn't gonna fall. I was in like
slick loafers on the ice. I was scared out of

(31:07):
my mind. To this day, when you see a pair
of loafers. Do you do like a whole thing, like, uh,
start panicking and getting sweaty. No, it's what happens when
I see the Avalanche logo, just when I see the logo,
uh seth et with us MLB inside or the Jason
Smith show in my car. Well, you look, you've an

(31:29):
MLB insiders since save for like twenty years now six years.
I'm not doing it this year, but it doesn't matter.
You're still You're still a long time I say, long
time MLB inside. Are you still you're a long MLB insider? Okay?
I mean this me. I mean, did you refuse that title?
Leave me alone? Did you not say it? Because you
know this year the Mets are actually good and so

(31:50):
you know now I'm not doing it this year because
the Mets are good. No, No, I wanted to do
it because if there are six good teams in the
sport and twenty two bad ones, is that a great summer.
It's a great summer for me because I'm a Mets fan.
And I said Aaron Judge was going to win the
m v P in the preseason. I feel pretty good
about that. Well, but the argument is there's used to

(32:13):
be there were like twelve, thirteen, fourteen good teams, and
now it's the American League is embarrassing. What's what's the
Yankee leave? It's the eleven that's long. That's that's not right.
It's not digging this summer, the boys of summer any longer.
He's just he just wants to talk about the boys.
The Mets are good. He's upset. I get it. I

(32:34):
get it. It's had the vision when sets the people.
I don't like it. The Mets the people. I don't
like it. The Mets are not there anymore. They're all gone. Team,
they're all gone. And I'm rooting for Jacob to grom
because he bad my kids. Wow, so do you Hey,
how's your kid's arm looking? No, he didn't hurt my kid,

(32:54):
didn't hurt her arm. My kid was watched by him. Yeah,
it's like, okay, I want to make sure the arm
is okay. Yeah, she can, yeah, she can throw her cereals. Okay.
I mean there's no nothing, no scapular problems. And she's
been okay. I mean, you know, because that could be
what happens here. No, but I wonder if Jake Grum

(33:17):
needs to get in a pre authorization from his insurance
when he gets an mr M It's good question. It
makes me sweat every time I see. I hold my
breath every time the guy pitches. And now I got
to do with how can do with everybody? Yeah, let
me just pause this for a second. Smith, for so
so Seth. Every night since uh well the fort opening night,

(33:37):
I've had to listen to this knucklehead about the Mets.
So when they actually lose a game, you know there
is a moment of yes, uh that kind of comes
through our body. Uh do you do that? You know
when you deal with Smith on a daily basis, No,
he will not be talking about the Mets when he
comes on the He's gonna he's gonna force it in.

(33:59):
I'm telling you, he's gonna do that voice and he's
gonna be talking about de grong soldier boy. Put it
clean up after Alonso, I'll weave it right in there. Well,
you know, it's funny. I declined credentials this you that's
that's kind of the only thing I've done really. You know,
I didn't make this big declaration. I'm not on a
protest or anything like that. I just declined credentials that's

(34:21):
how you got even with Major League Baseball. No, I
don't want your cred this year. I'll show them. I'm
not getting credentials. But but the but I did get
credential to cover the US Open, the Tennis, you know,
the US Do you think the Mets will let me
park there like I used to? Oh yeah, you can
just just park right in Cohen spot, Steve Cohen or

(34:44):
Gary either one, you know, you know, parallel and do
the park when you take up both spots, because I'm
sure they park right next to each other. Well, because
I just think, you know, it used to be like
the ticket guy in the parking attendants, like see all
knew me, Like you think, guess I just go in
and say, oh, yeah, this is don't don't don't don't
look at your watch. It's really I belong here. No,

(35:12):
not at all. It's worth to try. As long as
you're wearing a camera on your hat as you go there,
I would work. I'll put that on TikTok. Well, that
that's the bigger thing. Forget about the actual access. It's
the security guard footage we want. Yeah, but that's gotta
being done in like less than seventeen seconds. If you're
gonna put it on TikTok, I think three minutes. Three
minutes could be all right, now, that's too long. No

(35:35):
one watches a TikTok video for three minutes? Are you kidding?
In the world right now? At two and a half minute,
after eight seconds, people get anti, going what am I watching?
What am I watching? Right now? No one watches you
when you're looking for a salacious content. That's everybody, that's
not no. You know you want to know here, here's
harmon you know? Uh saying this that he's a guy

(35:55):
that when I ride with him in his car, right
we go somewhere with car pool to work whatever it was,
he listens to about forty five seconds of a song
and then changes it. And he can't listen to more
than forty five seconds, and he'll change. He'll go to
a song like on his phone. He'll put a song on.
After forty five seconds, I'm going to another one, and
then I'm like okay, and then after forty five seconds,

(36:16):
I'm going to another one. Can't listen more than and
he's making fun of me about TikTok. Well, the thing
is that should be a TikTok. He should do that.
They should. They should film him flipping the station and
changing the station, muttering and cursing girls in bikini's when

(36:37):
I can watch my flip his pump. That would be
it's wholesome family entertainment as opposed to what you guys
are subscribing to. Good great googly moogly. By the way,
the hockey playoffs have been so good. Oh, they've been
better than the NBA playoffs. Easy, it's not even close.

(36:58):
Oh easy. Yeah. And the thing is, and the thing is,
like even the the NHL had a couple of clunkers
in Games two and three, and they still dwarf the
NBA as far as competitive games. Yeah, you just need
to know if they could have found some way to
get the Oilers to play in every game, because they
scored seven goals a game, that would have been even
more exciting. Yeah. I like this match up though. I

(37:21):
like to, you know, the two time chances because you know,
you can also think about the Lightning the first year
it was in that bubble and the second year it
was the half season because of COVID, and you just
kind of wondered, like, if they're going to be called
the Dynasty dau they have to win this year. You
can follow on Twitter at Seth Underscore Everett that is
at set Understore whatever on Twitter after this segment. No,

(37:44):
there are no people who watch. The Boys aren't. Nobody

Gary Cohen isn't. Right now, Uh, Sports with Friends, Hall
of Justice, The Big Podcast, Long time it will be

Major League Baseball. I don't want to credit and here's

I gotta get to Seth House and find out how
we get him back as a fan. How do we

to door to get people back on the televising a

Corkys and poodles and also breeding and handling Golden Retrievers
among others. So I mean, this is a big upset.
I've tried to find the odds someone got paid out
if they went that route. You know. The thinking of
the dog being named Trumpet makes me think about Jason.

(40:34):
When you were in middle school you played Tuba and Mike.
You still have the harp in your living room that

the Lightning or in trouble, the defending Stanley Cup champs.
They are down three games to one in the series. Meanwhile,
let's take a look at some of the notable games
in Major League Baseball on this Wednesday. We have to
start out with the Mets face plant on the road.
They faltered to the Astros five to three. In Carlos Carrasco,
the starting picture for New York, could not get out

(42:04):
of the third inning as he was yanked five earned runs,
two walks, just two strikeouts, and he gave up three
home runs. As New York is now nineteen games above
five hundred. So other than that, we do have a
win for the Dodgers. They got it done in convincing fashion. Yes,
they did, eight to four against the Reds as Freddie

(42:26):
Freeman hit a home run in the seventh inning, a
win for the Red Sox six to two. They curb
the Tigers Aaron Judge with two home runs He's got
twenty seven on the season leads the majors and a
five to four victory against the Rays, the Brave scoring
three runs on the bottom of the ninth as they
surprise and stunt the Giants four to three. Nolan Arronado

the Cardinals the lead for good. They went on to
win it five to four against the Brewers, and that
