(00:52):
we get to stuff going on in baseball right now
the winners meetings thanks to John Paul Morosi stopping by
a few minutes ago. Uh, I know the NBA, the
in season tournament has its problems, has its issues. You
could have played this as an all inclusive two and
a half three week tournament. Everybody plays the same number
of home games. Everything else fantastic could have done it
(01:13):
that way, could have made it a special thing. Could
have not done it right off the beginning of the
season when the excitement is still there. However, going to
the fourth quarter right now, Lakers lead the Suns eighty three,
eighty two spot in the quarterfinals against the Pelicans is
on the line here, and this is being played like
a playoff game. This is a fun game. It kind
(01:37):
of has that feel like, yeah, we're we fast forward
on the calendar a little bit too, maybe sometime in
May and or late May, and this is what we're
getting here. This has been a fun.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Game, Jason, this is Rocky Drago what okay, okay, all right, well, yeah, alright.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I mean, I'm just digging the fact that these guys
are clearly getting after it, and you got Kate and
Anthony Davis had his monster first half. You know, we
watched the Suns charge back in this third quarter and
Lebron with some big moments along the way. The court
still sucks because guys are slipping all over the place,
(02:15):
but you know they want their extra five hundred thousand dollars. Yeah,
I want a trip to Vegas.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Maybe I think maybe that's what Darvin Ham and Frank
Vogel did before the game. He just brought up big,
big briefcases.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
They brought out that right, he had the dodgeball.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Here what you can buy? This is it And nobody
is feeling this more than Grayson Allen, who has twenty
one to lead the way for the Sun. So far,
he's got four threes, six out of twelve from the floor.
He has not tripped once yet tonight, what.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Did you see D'angela Russell turn to him by, Hey,
can we just play basketball?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Please? Yeah, listen, I don't want I don't want to
deal with any of your crap that I know. I
don't have time for you, jerk. But this is a
really fun game so far. Eighty three, eighty two. We're
just starting the fourth quarter. Lakers have the lead over Phoenix.
Kd's got twenty one. The monster first half are Anthony
Davis not so much in the third quarter. Twenty points
(03:14):
in the first half, just four in the third quarter.
Lebron though, moving in on a triple double. He's at sixteen,
nine and five as we start action in the fourth quarter. Now,
you know, but we'll get to Otani in a second.
But I gotta say this, Mike, because there's certain stories
that make me feel like maybe we're not all lost
here in the country, and maybe we can come together
on things. You know, we're all so divided on certain things,
(03:35):
and you know, mainly it's about what you think of
the movie The Marvels, but.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
You know, we're we're all about seen it, So I've
got no opinion. Yeah, I think it's completing its run
and it'll be on Disney Plus It all week produce,
so I'll watch it then.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Well, like Hot Disney said, we're not gonna give you
any more money updates on The Marvels. Why because that's embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Well, but did you see what they're doing now though,
all the movies that went straight to the streaming service
during COVID, Yeah, guess what.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, all going into the theater. Four you're gonna get Hey, if.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
You missed him on streaming, you can give us twenty
bucks and take it to come see it in the theater.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, and die Hard in three days too, die Hard
back in.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Theater, go see that while we're kind of drunk.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Oh yeah, well, well, because ty Shirt's never seen die Hard,
no spoilers, so we have to go see that.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
Oh are we gonna go see that Friday night?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
That might not be a bad idea. I like that.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Oh, now you want to go to the movies, Jason?
What do you mean?
Speaker 6 (04:23):
Now?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I want to I want to go see Dungeons and
Dragons with you. You said no, Yeah, no, I didn't want
to go.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
I want to see Godzilla with you. You said no, No,
I didn't want to see that one. I want to
go see Oh no, no, I want to see that because
it was that out yet I did see it already
was out, it came out last week. I went to
the fan he got. He got to a pre Oh
you went. You went to a fan event? Yeah, I
was invited. Did you dress up like a Godzilla?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:41):
I went in sweats He went as god ZOOKI did.
He went as Jason. Basically, hey are you Jason Smith?
You're in sweatpants and a mets ha. They're like, that's
a great cosplay of Jason. I was like, thanks, No.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
Then he did a bunch of TJ I want to.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I want to go see Godzilla, but me too. It's
the best one ever made. Looks right, it looks and
there's thirty eight of them. It's the best one made,
and they're really thirty thirty eight of them, thirty eight US, Godzilla,
die Hard, Wow, can you do? Are you gonna do
work for Rancor and do like thirty eight movies ranked
from worse to beth No, I'm ranking top ten. Oh okay,
very good. Okay, so it's like games, there were thirty
(05:17):
shut up. Well, technically we only say thirty seven because
that first one that we made was not a good
one for the US. Uh okay, yeah, all right, I'm
don't sony picture one got like the one in like
nineteen thirty six or whatever, that's a great one.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
Are you talking about the Matthew Broadery.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Yeah, I don't want to talk about that one. Oh,
come on, Madison Square Garden, Eggs and MSG Little Babies.
The Knicks couldn't play there anymore because baby egg and
Knicks had games canceled because Godzilla laid eggs and MSG.
It's a terrible movie. And you know what, wouldn't you
think that you'd figure that out, like, hey, the team
would go there for practice. Oh wait, I'm sorry, there's
a huge monster here laying eggs. Let's go get it.
(05:55):
Well you think they would know that. No, you think
they would know. But look, look I said, we're divide
in this country, right, We're divide. Maybe maybe you're on
Hall side, maybe you're on Oats's side. We're divided. But
if the Yankees in Red Sox can make a trade,
Mike Harmon, maybe we're not all lost.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
It does bring us all back to me.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I mean, there's not a lot that makes me give
a second glance, like whoa, what is that? But the
Yankees in Red Sox making a trade today, and not
just like hey, here's a sal here's this. No, the
Yankees got a guy who they're expecting to play a
big role from Alex Verdugo. Look, the guy was the
the big centerpiece of the Mookie Betts trade four years ago.
(06:33):
Hasn't worked out for Boston as much as worked out
for the Dodgers. But I mean, this is a pretty
big trade. The Yankees traded like three or four prospects
in this trade. I mean the Yankees in Red Sox
making it Yankees and Red Sox.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Mike, Yeah, I saw it go down and I had
to do like a triple take all. I was like,
you know, Diana Rossini with all your Jets nonsense.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Is there three are there three sources? Are there three
different people telling me what's going on here?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
And then I said, well, you know, cats and dogs,
Cats and dogs? U Verdugo last year thirteen home runs, hit,
two sixty four, five stolen bases, on base percentage of
three twenty four, all of that. Uh, that's not the
move that Yankee fans wanted to see. I mean, no
disrespect to alex Erdugo. It's a nice player. Two point
(07:22):
six war Yeah, no, no, no, they're trying to get some
big fish here. But there's some activity. And as you
know we've gone throughout history, sometimes there's tough times and
you know, hard times. As Dusty Rhodes always talked about that,
you gotta do something even if it's wrong. And for
(07:43):
the Yankees, cash Man and company can say, hey, we're
retooling our roster. We even made a trade in division.
That's how much we need to leave twenty twenty three behind.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Jason, How does it make you feel that the Mets
are getting nobody? Hey, we haven't gotten nobody yet. If
we have nobody, we hadn't gotten nobody, might sign a
guy named nobody.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
We haven't gotten nobody. Look, it was down on the man.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
You did get a picture?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
No, like come on, well, look we were it was
down to you and I for Eric Fetty, and it's like, oh,
I'm excited about no White Sox get him two years
fifteen million. Okay, guy was the MVP of Korean baseball level.
The White Sox are outbidding you. You suck? Yeah. Well,
I what I wanted to hope is that, well, the
Mets liked him, but they really are gonna go get
Yamamoto or they're gonna go get somebody else. He's somebody bigger.
(08:28):
Morosi was gonna tell us anything. He can't betray the
trust him, he said to the Dodgers of a schoolmate,
David Stearns. He can't do that.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I was trying to see, if you know, if we
had a video link up, if they could see a
blink if you're telling me the truth on this, because
I mean with Otani, I mean, what can he do, right,
I mean, if you're in Milwaukee exactly, Baxter.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Uh I I there's three big names that that are
gonna move at some point in the in the next
few days, and we're gonna find out Otani and where
Yoshinoba Yamamoto winds up going for probably two hundred and
fifty million, and wherever Jan Sodo gets traded. And for
the Yankees and the Mets, I feel like, and for
(09:15):
the Dodgers as well, the name they're in there with
the big names and the smaller names they haven't come
up with yet because they're all still big game hunting.
The Mets are still out for Yamamoto, the Dodgers are
still out for Otani, and the Yankees are still out
for Sodo. Whatever it is that this is what's going on. Yes,
the other guys are great, and if you get a
(09:36):
guy like Blake Snell or Montgomery or whoever else, okay,
but that that's where all these teams are. The Yankees
Eggs are in Sodo's basket, the Mets are in Yamamoto,
Dodgers are in for Otani. Like, that's where they all
are right now. And once one of those guys goes,
then the teams that miss out, then you're gonna see
things go pretty quickly. I don't think it's gonna be hey,
(09:57):
well here's Otani. Now, it's gonna be a few days. No,
because what happens after that first guy signs is there's
panic and there's hey, we lost out on this guy.
Let's make sure we don't lose out on this guy,
or let's make sure we go get these couple of guys.
And like, really, I feel like everybody's waiting on the
first one of those dominoes to fall, whatever it is,
whether it's Sodo moving or Yamamoto or Otani. Once one
(10:18):
of those things happens, and probably the Sodo deal will
be the last thing that goes on. But once one
of those things happens, then it's gonna be all right,
We're gonna see and it's gonna move pretty pretty quickly
because then you got you gotta get to the ancillary
guys after that. Like I talked like Montgomery's gonna gota
go somewhere. You're talking about Snell, who probably wants a
couple hundred million and and uh, you know, maybe he
sits out for a little bit before he gets the
(10:39):
deal he wants to. But the long gi you sit out,
the least chance you have to get paid. But it's
gonna go really really fast. Right after that first person goes,
and it's gonna go I mean it will be less
than twenty four if Saeyotani goes first, less than twenty
four hours later, Yamamoto's gonna have a new home, and
less than twenty four hours after that, Sodo's gonna be
someplace because the team that moves out. That's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I think it should be like an Advent calendar. You
got one a day. If you didn't announce it, you know,
whoever gets to the commissioner and to get on MLB
network to announce it first, that's it. And then you
gotta wait to open up that square the next day.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh I like that idea. I like that idea of
an MLB at Advent calendar. I like that.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yeah, No, that's it.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
You know, it's in conjunction with you know, the season
of Advent that just started this week. I did see
a couple of great memes. Guys, goes Hey, according to
my Advent calendar, Christmas is in three days because it
was a chocolate one and he just started going to
town on all the chalk.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
But there's gotta be one a day. You can't. You
can't skip a day. There's gotta be one a day.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
But there's one a day. I's got to be unless
you gluttonize. No, you have I have my old funko
Harry Potter one that I trot out for the girls
every year. But look, I got Baltimore, but you have
to have another Weasley.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Yeah, it's one a day.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So because because we just got an advent, one of
my relatives sent me an Advent calendar for Benny.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Right, so it's like, oh, for Benny. Nice.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Benny's got his own dog Advent calendar. So after the
first couple of days, what do you think is the
first thing he does in the morning. He wakes up
and walks to his Advent calendar and looks at me
and looks at the Advent calendar and looks at me.
He's like, where's my treat? That's inside the Advent calendar.
So he's there, and what if there's no treat? Right,
I mean, you got used to something, so you.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Might get attacked by Benny.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
If you want to do the MLB Free Agent Trade
Advent calendar, you had to guarantee me won every single day.
You can't skip a day.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
You gotta know that single day there has to be
an announcement, you know, And he got a line up
and we get one a day, and that's we're at
to your original point about you know, Yanke's and Red
Sox making a trade. Literally in my timeline, I'm looking
at updates from the NBA tried to see if anything's
happened in Major League Baseball. There was literally a picture going, hey,
(12:50):
if these two can get along, anybody can.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
And it's a picture of Eric.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Clapton and George Harrison and the photo was taken by
Patty left Harrison to go there.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You go, there you go. So there I know who
took that picture.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Great, so if these two can get along, here you go.
So it fit the theme. But yeah, I mean we
got a lot of big names. I know you brought
up Blake. I brought up Blake Snell. Uh, you brought
up the fact that you know he's been a contract
to your picture, so you got that. Bellinger is interesting,
interesting because the Cubs have said everything properly in public.
(13:29):
Behind the scenes, they've been rumored to be in on
every big free agent, and then you have other guys
like you know, J. D. Martinez and others that are
out there. So it should be a fun time. Wardo Rodriguez,
where does he go if he signs us with the Dodgers,
don't don't fans get a little mad?
Speaker 5 (13:46):

was with at Bologna. The Jason Smith Show with Mike
Carmen Live from the Tireck dot Com Studios, UH ninety
five ninety four. The Suns lead the Lakers. This is
(16:02):
a playoff game atmosphere, both teams are playing it like
so it's the quarterfinals of the play in tournament and
the Lakers again down by one to the Suns. Ninety
five ninety four. It's been a huge night for Grayson Allen,
which of course we all had on our bingo cards.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Oh absolutely, I've missed the celebrity roll call. Is everybody out,
you know, because of the gravity of this situation?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, yeah, I think yeah, for this game, yes, definitely, Okay, yeah, No,
I mean I think it looks like an NBA Finals game.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
No, it's got a big deal. Everybody on their feet.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And I think Flea is playing minutes off the bench
for the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Now you're talking.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, yeah. Things got really bad in the first half.
Billy Mack was playing point guard for LA, so there was.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
That as in Billy Mack from Love Ashe Billy.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Dude. Billy Mack is hosting the ass out of this game.
You know, I just love the old song. So well,
that's right, Bill, That's why we're doing a new one
from his couch by the way, because it's so Again.
We'll have more on this game coming up again. It's
a one point lead now by the Lakers. Again, still
about four minutes to go in the fourth quarter. But
ah boy, you know sometimes the Jets just exist just
(17:13):
for for entertainment value. Oh yeah, you know, I really
last night we talked about the Jets. You just go
quiet into the offseason at this time, right, go quiet,
don't go crazy, dug it, No, no, no, no, showing
that we want to be the most colorful conflagration of
a tire fire you could possibly have. We want reds
and yellows and oranges, and we want to look like
we're the biggest blaze in the sky, like when you're
(17:35):
fifty miles outside of Vegas and you can see the luxer.
Oh that's the tire fire we want to be. So
the day in Jets started with this. They got a
new quarterback. They decided we're done with Tim Boyle guy
who started the last two games terrible. They cut him
and they brought in Brett Rippin off of the Seahawks
practice squad. Maybe the Jets listened to the show, because
(17:56):
last night, what did I say, Cut all three guys,
get rid of Wilson, get rid of Boil, get rid
of Simeon, bringing three new guys, give them all like
a half to play football, and whichever one plays the best,
hey keeps the job. Because we've seen guys come in
off the street and play well right away with no
practice time, So why not do it? Maybe the Jets
are listening, Mike. Maybe they're doing it well.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Bit by bit. They have to listen to some voice
of reason. Why not us well? Although I mean sometimes
you get excitable, you get.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Angry, and and your your fandom clouds your vision. Yeah,
sometimes you know, from the positive side, and sometimes you
get ultra negative. Like I try to bring you back
to you know, even keel.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
N I got vision. The rest of the world's wearing bifocals,
just like Butch Cassidy said, I got vision, and it's
well done.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
But yeah, I mean, you're your team's a disaster. There's
no question about it.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
It's okay, quarterback helps it, You're yeah, Brett Rippen.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I mean look he hung out with Sean McVay.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, he and I mean look that could that could
be the thing that that's the catalyst to a great turnaround.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
How bad this is. He immediately becomes the best quarterback
on the roster. And now I will because he's gonna
start at some point really soon. If he doesn't start Sunday,
he will start the next week. He's got to. So
at least maybe Sundays won't be awful because I like
watching the game and at least I know they have
a chance to score a touchdown where you know they
don't and they have it. So that was how the time.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
It's always greater than zero.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yes, this is true. So that's how the day started. Okay,
innocently enough. Then we get the firestorm that turned into
Robert Sala and New York media member Joe Binigno. Right now,
this is a story. This is only the Jets man,
not even the Raiders of the Lions would have something
like this. So if you remember the story yesterday, Diana
Rossini ESPN had the story that, hey, the Jets were
(19:41):
thinking about turning back to athletic Diana Rasini sorry formerly
a ESPN had the story that, hey, the Jets were
thinking about going back to Zach Wilson, but he was
unsure if he wanted to reclaim the starter's job. And
all of a sudden was if the guy doesn't want
to stay, he's got to be cut. It's this, It's
that Robert Sala goes on TV and says, no, he
wants the ball. I don't know if I'm there yet
(20:02):
to make him the starter, but he wants the ball.
This story hasn't been negated. This story hasn't been put
to bed, but it hasn't been proven. Okay, and then
we get Joe Binigno, who is a former kind of
as a podcast now for Wfan, the big station New York.
Guy won a contest thirty some odd years ago to
be the overnight host on Wfan. The guy's a huge
(20:23):
Jets fan. And he goes on the radio and says, hey,
I've been texting with Robert Sala. Think about that for
a second. Robert Sala texting a media member a guy
who's a Jets fan, right, who won a contest to
be a radio guy, and he said he's texting with.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Him, and why that's that's really stuck in your craw.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Because the guy won a contest. Man, that's like less,
that's like less of a resume than I had when
I got the job. Come on, So he he's texting
with Joe Binigno, and Joe Binigo says, hey, according to
the texts I have with Robert Sala, I don't think
Sala likes Zach Wilson all that much now, putting more
fuel on this Zach Wilson fire. And then he goes
on the radio today Boom a Siasin on Wfan and
(21:01):
a couple other shows, and Joba Nigno says, oh, I
think I may have misrepresented what the texts were with
Robert Salah and myself. Oh really misremember really you made
really you misrepresented the text? I think he misremembers what
a blank show?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
What only the Jets would have a situation where the
coach sent the text to him.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
You know, there's real easy way to fix that here.
Just take a screenshot of those text.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Messages the food.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
If you're gonna text a media member, man text me,
at least I'll help you. I'll help you fix the
team man, I'll tell you, Hey, I know it sucks
Aaron Rodgers is hurt, but you gotta get a new quarterback.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
No, I know, Jason Mason, World of Spin.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I know, I know you want to put Zach Wilson.
But didn't you sign Aaron Rodgers because Zach Wilson stunk.
Just think about that. I don't care. Nobody cares if
you get rid of him. You got Aaron Rodgers, but
you can't go to Zach Wilson because you replaced him
because he wasn't good enough. Now he's good enough again. No,
come on, man, go get Josh Dobbs, Go get somebody else,
go to and the Jets would be in a better place.
They'd be nine to four. Things would be great. It
(22:05):
would be on my god, Jason Smith saved the season.
Look at this, he's the shadow of a shadow coach
because he's not like shadow coaching at the games. He's
shadow coaching from three thousand miles away on the radio.
I'm a shadow shadow coach. I'm a double shadow coach.
I'd be solving things. Okay, so now this is a
huge deal. Now because Robert Salas texting a guy from
the media who's a Jets fan. But then that's not
(22:28):
all because because today Jets, you know Pat McAfee show
on ESPN, Aaron Rodgers waged in, and Aaron Rodgers is
not happy that there have been leaks and this story
is out there that maybe Robert Sala doesn't like Zach Wilson,
or maybe Zach Wilson said he doesn't know if he
wants to start again for the Jets. Now, the one
(22:49):
guy you can't piss off, the one guy you've changed
everything to go get. Now, Aaron Rodgers is mad, and
now he wants some solutions for this controversy.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
I have had relationships with obviously a number of different
media people over the years. You get to know them.
They're in the locker room. There was Viga writers. You
put your name on something, then you stand behind it,
you know, like I believe and this and yes it's over.
Yeah exactly, thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
But what you're saying, yeah, put your name behind it.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I like, that's a good three year old joke there
on the Immune. He also went on to say it's
chicken blank that these leaks are coming from the Jets.
We have to solve who is doing this. And all
I said to myself after that was you know, it's
not enough to jet stink. It's not enough. The jet stink,
and they can't find a quarterback. It's not enough. They stink,
can't find a quarterback, and the offense stinks. It's not enough.
They stink, they can't find a quarterback, the offense stinks,
(23:47):
and the season's over. No, no, it's not enough. They stink,
The offense stinks, the quarterback stinks, the season's over. And
now the head coach is texting a member of the media.
Now it stinks. The head coach stinks, the season's over,
the quarterback stinks, the coaches texting a member of the media.
And now the one guy you don't want to get
pissed off to say I don't want to be here.
You have pissed off in Aaron Rodgers, because now he's thinking,
(24:07):
what kind of place did I come to here? I
was loving life here with the Jets. I don't I know.
People probably warned me and said, dude, it's the Jets.
Watch what happens. Now he's getting look at it up close.
How long until he says, I don't want to be
here anymore. I know, trade me, get me someplace else Man,
I can't eye the trust is not here in the organization.
Now the one guy you can't find a way to
(24:28):
piss off, Now he's pissed off. I'm in mortal about
what is what is happening?
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Man?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
But it's funny, Jason, I mean it's it's one of
those things where you know he does have to have
that reality check.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Call back to the old Alex Teischer podcast.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Is that you need to pause and recognize that a
lot of the damage done with the roster and what
this team is right now. Good old number eight was
the guy. He was the architect. He was the guy
being the deb in Joe Douglas's ear gun.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
You know, I'll come to.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
The Jets if you hired this guy. But he failed
in Denver, that doesn't matter. He's my guy. Look at
the success we had in Green Bay. Oh, and I'm
also gonna need this guy. Wait, that guy's old. Now
it doesn't matter. He's my guy. He can trust him
on third time, all right. And then this other guy,
(25:24):
I need you to give him a lot of money.
And his name's Lizard.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Wait.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Wait, wait, that guy was good a couple of years ago,
like five. No, No, those are my guys, and I
tell you it's gonna be great. Spend the money. Forget
about those other free agents, bring in my guys, and now, hey, hey,
we can't lose Delvin Cook to the Dolphins. I mean
he's doing all alliginnis with his little beard nol Nin like,
you don't need any of those other free agents. These
(25:51):
are the guys we're looking for. And it's his fault.
I mean, Joe Douglas signed the checks. So it's his
ass that gets brut out of town. But Aaron Rodgers
conveniently going look at what these guys are doing.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
This is a joke. By the way, he's also the
guy that probably is the leaker of all of it.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Look well, he.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Blames people in the organization. He's probably the guy doing
all the others.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No, no, no, he's not leaking it. He's very outfront the
guys he wanted. Man, I mean, this is this is
not oh hey, I didn't want Lizard.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
And no, no, no, no, I'm saying right now, right now, he's
the leaker of all of the You know, I'm not
gonna tell anybody, but Zach, you know it actually come
to me. And so this is a good chance to
really burn it all down, to exert my dominance over
all of it.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
The one guy. Okay, at least, at going I thought,
at least going into this season, Rogers won't come back
too soon. He'll be one hundred percent healthy. No, no, no,
Now he's mad now. And part of it is yes,
he does like the drama. He has not been involved
in a lot of drama because all of his drama
loving self was immerston. I'm coming back as soon as possible.
(26:59):
I'm gonna ramp up practice. Just win one, That's all
he said for the last month. Just win one more
bleeping game and I'll come back. Just one, no, no,
five in a row. So now he's got no drama.
So now he's involved in this because hey, here's some drama.
But just when it's okay, just just don't don't upset.
The only thing is don't upset Rogers. Now the guy's mad.
Now the guy doesn't know who to trust coaches wise,
(27:19):
players wise, media wise. Now he's mad. Now now he's mad.
The one guy, the one guy. Now he's upset.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
What do you mean who he can trust? Whatever else?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Like he wrought all this and depending on that Robert
Sama is trying to find a friend.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
No, no, we're.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I really shouldn't have texted Benigno. Uh no, I I know,
but but he wants an Okay, obviously people are talking out.
They're they're breaking the trust of the locker room. I
don't like it. I don't know who's doing it. And
now we have this with the coach, and oh my god,
what a mess I've walked into here in New York.
I didn't know it was like this. I thought I
left the circus behind in Green Bay. Nope, I've just
traded in the Green Bay circus for an even bigger
(28:01):
big top. This is like the greatest Showman of circuses.
And you Jackman's in the middle singing, Oh, this is
the greatest show dundu dude, this is where he is
right now. I'm waiting for it's gonna be Hey. I
thought it was gonna work with with the uh Jets,
but it really isn't. So I'm gonna need to be
with a new team next year. You have to go
someplace else. I'm gonna have to go.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
No, I mean, look, it's an easy thing to do, so,
you know, you point the finger and just say I
need to get out of here. Sure, because he can
be that guy that closes off everything the reality, math
and science.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Uh, to do what he wants to do.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
I mean, that's that's what Aaron you know, it's science.
That's what Aaron Rodgers does. So you know, being able
to compartmentalize it as it's all their fault. Yeah, that's
exactly what I would expect him to do and to say, hey,
this is untenable. This roster is not what I signed
on for. I was promised a better offensive line and
(29:00):
blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
No you could see it coming from a mile away,
no question about it.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
It's science, man, It's science. This is this is how
bad it is for the Jets. This is what it's like.
I mean, I like this is I don't I don't
know what winning looks like. I don't know winning looks like.
Is winning? Scoring a touchdown in the first quarter is winning?
Rogers saying, can't wait to come back. I don't know
what winning looks like. I really don't.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
I don't know, dude. I'm a Bears fan. I got.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I got that, and I got Rex Grossman against Peyton
Manning and the Super Bowl with prints at halftime that's
my life, man.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
That that's my living years of the Bears.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
And they were entertaining for a while, and and and
every once in a while they are I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
So what you're telling me with the living years, Mike,
You're no mechanic, but you're enjoying the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
It's all you can do, buddy.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Let's find out what's trending right now in the wide
world of sports. Got a bit of controversy happening right
now at the Crypt in the quarter finals between the
Suns and the Lakers. A dis if you did possession
while the Lakers had the ball with a two point lead,
where Austin Reeves fumbled the ball away and was there
a foul called? Was there not? Should it be the
(30:11):
Sun's ball? It's being debated right now. Thanks so much,
Kevin Wire at the Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon
live from the Ti rag dot Com Studios. Coming up next.
If we're being robbed of the excitement of sho Heyo
Tani's free agency, what can fill the void the next
couple of days Because something that maybe you weren't sure
is fun is a whole lot of fun. That's next
(30:33):
right here, Jason and Mike Fox Better Hit DZAD.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
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 (30:45):
Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with My best friend
Mike Harmon.
Speaker 5 (30:53):
So how I felt when they awarded that timeout.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Live from the ti rag dot com studios, uh Laker
and Sons.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
What a fun ending. Lakers were up by two.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Anthony Davis gets fouled with about six seconds left, goes
the free throw line, hits the first, misses the second.
The Sun's got the rebound, got the ball to kd.
They were down three with six seconds to go, and
the last six seconds went like this.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Look at.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
The chased the town gets.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
It off toward the ends and it is picked of
gonna get have it and it's hollow.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
At the twenty, he's cutting back inside of New York
for twenty five twenty on the right hand five. I
really didn't see that coming. You'd think I would. I
did not see that coming. Did not see that.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
That was good. You got Ropidope, you got.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Got Dolphins radio, y J.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
I know.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
The final six seconds went like this.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Three is the oldest.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Woman to the.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Lakers, Billy mag Lakers TV on the coup. The Lakers
are in the Semis. It's the D season tournament, and
the Lakers look at them. The championship is coming. Lebron
is huge tonight and it was an incredible game, and
there's a lot to get to on it. But let
(32:32):
me just say this. That final play where KD has
the ball, he dribbles down from mid court, and I
know it was a subtle thing, but for Torian Prints
to not back off of him and allow KD to
have an extra dribble where he's taking the three just
beyond the arc, he kind of steps up and forces
KD to, Okay, I gotta shoot here because the time
(32:54):
is ticking down and it's an off balanced thirty five footer.
That's an airball. That's all the difference on that play
because you can easily see defense. I don't want to foul.
I want to find you're backing off, backing off, and
KD gets another dribble and a half and he stops
right behind the three point line and he hits one,
and bingo, we're going to overtime. But just the fact
didn't try to foul. Just I'm getting in your way
(33:14):
a little bit, and you don't have time to really
dribble around me and do it because time is ticking down.
And he forces a really bad shot by KD, a
big forced one that again draws nothing but air, and
the Lakers win it, and they go to the semi finals,
and a date with Zion awaits in Vegas. There we go,
they're playing, they're playing Bucks and Pages at nine o'clock
(33:35):
in the morning. And then we got and we got
to the main entree with the Lakers and the Pelicans
and Lebron and Zion.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
How great is that?
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I mean, look, it'll be far more entertaining than the
Thursday night football that will.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
This is true.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Damn sure, over under are either twenty nine and a
half or thirty, depending where you're shopping.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
When I was looking a little bit earlier, but I off.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
The sequence with the inbound reeves where he loses the ball,
but Lebron's granted the time out.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
I've watched it like ten toimes, like is that really
the right call? Or is it home cooking?
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Be cuz Frostburg the Lakers are bleeping bat battle?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Yeah? Vegas? It wasn't it? Wasn't you know Austin Reeves
turns the ball over great hed he played by Devin Booker,
not fouling him because Reeves was struggling with the ball
a little bit. But boy, to get that time out,
that was a bit of a.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Right, I mean because technically if you wouldn't, if you
weren't calling the foul on the little bump as he
turned with the ball, then he technically walked.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, yeah, no, you're right. Or or Grayson Allen's got
the ball under the hoop for a lane in a
tie game because the ball bounces over to him and
he winds up getting it and there's nobody there.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
He picks it up on the end line, looking around, like,
what the hell's happening?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Uh? So Thursday Pacers, but Ucks, Pelicans, Lakers in the
semis in Vegas?
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Did you did you notice the streamers coming down? What
a soengh?
Speaker 7 (35:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah, dude, you moving on, man, moving on to the
semi finals. Also four the Lakers are in the final four.
I just like all the branding is fricking everywhere, including
what I'm scrolling through on my YouTube TV in season.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Real question for you guys here fell cancel Thursday Night
football now that the Lakers are playing.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Oh this, yeah, Steelers Patriots. Yeah, come on, you gotta
cancel it. Come on, yeah, you can't play it. You
gotta move it to Friday. Yeah. Oh, do you really
need to even play the game? I don't need to
play it. I mean, come on, I'm watching them play
on Sunday. You're talking about it's Trubisky and Steve Grogan
that are squaring off on You wish the Jets had
Trubisky right about now? Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, sure,
(35:48):
I wish you had Steve Grogan. I Grogan right now.
But look, the one thing there's been a lot of
criticism about about the play intern which we have more
on coming up in a few minutes. But you know,
sometimes you just have to understand, Yeah, it's fun, and
this is what the NBA was hoping for, a game
like tonight that was played like a playoff game. Lebron
(36:09):
at fifteen in the fourth quarter, he was huge, this
is a fun little thing. Hey, I can I can
win another I can win another title, right, I can
win the padd O'Brien Trophy, yere and win a title
in the middle of the season. This is kind of
what the NBA envisioned when they saw the n season tournament. Now,
there's certain changes that need to be made to it
that are just gonna augment it. But this is kind
(36:30):
of what they were hoping for and expected. Hey, we're
into the semifinals. We have a couple of big time
teams and stars in the mix to play. We're very
excited about this. We could get Bucks Lakers in the final.
We could get Bucks Pelicans, could get Bucks that we
could Giannis and Zion, or we could get Pacers Pelicans.
But we know we could get it. We have a
lot of big matchups we could get here.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Mike, Yeah, I mean it's really cool on the Eastern
Conference side from straight Hey, you like watching basketball side,
But you know, the Knicks in there would have been fun.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Oh sure, I believe that they would have put the
Nicks on at night. The Lakers would be on during.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
This to watch the pain.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Yeah, come on, man, you want Nix Lakers in the finals.
Come in, Nick Lakers for the Paddle'brian Trophy. Come on,
everybody celebrates the power Yeah, exit out by the Fresca
exit swollen, dumb. This is what the NBA was hoping
for and finally they got it. Congratulations. More on this

(00:52):
we get to stuff going on in baseball right now
the winners meetings thanks to John Paul Morosi stopping by
a few minutes ago. Uh, I know the NBA, the
in season tournament has its problems, has its issues. You
could have played this as an all inclusive two and
a half three week tournament. Everybody plays the same number
of home games. Everything else fantastic could have done it
(01:13):
that way, could have made it a special thing. Could
have not done it right off the beginning of the
season when the excitement is still there. However, going to
the fourth quarter right now, Lakers lead the Suns eighty three,
eighty two spot in the quarterfinals against the Pelicans is
on the line here, and this is being played like
a playoff game. This is a fun game. It kind
(01:37):
of has that feel like, yeah, we're we fast forward
on the calendar a little bit too, maybe sometime in
May and or late May, and this is what we're
getting here. This has been a fun.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Game, Jason, this is Rocky Drago what okay, okay, all right, well, yeah, alright.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
I mean, I'm just digging the fact that these guys
are clearly getting after it, and you got Kate and
Anthony Davis had his monster first half. You know, we
watched the Suns charge back in this third quarter and
Lebron with some big moments along the way. The court
still sucks because guys are slipping all over the place,
(02:15):
but you know they want their extra five hundred thousand dollars. Yeah,
I want a trip to Vegas.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
Let's go.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Maybe I think maybe that's what Darvin Ham and Frank
Vogel did before the game. He just brought up big,
big briefcases.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
They brought out that right, he had the dodgeball.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Here what you can buy? This is it And nobody
is feeling this more than Grayson Allen, who has twenty
one to lead the way for the Sun. So far,
he's got four threes, six out of twelve from the floor.
He has not tripped once yet tonight, what.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Did you see D'angela Russell turn to him by, Hey,
can we just play basketball?
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Please? Yeah, listen, I don't want I don't want to
deal with any of your crap that I know. I
don't have time for you, jerk. But this is a
really fun game so far. Eighty three, eighty two. We're
just starting the fourth quarter. Lakers have the lead over Phoenix.
Kd's got twenty one. The monster first half are Anthony
Davis not so much in the third quarter. Twenty points
(03:14):
in the first half, just four in the third quarter.
Lebron though, moving in on a triple double. He's at sixteen,
nine and five as we start action in the fourth quarter. Now,
you know, but we'll get to Otani in a second.
But I gotta say this, Mike, because there's certain stories
that make me feel like maybe we're not all lost
here in the country, and maybe we can come together
on things. You know, we're all so divided on certain things,
(03:35):
and you know, mainly it's about what you think of
the movie The Marvels, but.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
You know, we're we're all about seen it, So I've
got no opinion. Yeah, I think it's completing its run
and it'll be on Disney Plus It all week produce,
so I'll watch it then.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Well, like Hot Disney said, we're not gonna give you
any more money updates on The Marvels. Why because that's embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Well, but did you see what they're doing now though,
all the movies that went straight to the streaming service
during COVID, Yeah, guess what.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah, all going into the theater. Four you're gonna get Hey, if.
Speaker 4 (04:03):

bucks and take it to come see it in the theater.

back in.

The Knicks couldn't play there anymore because baby egg and
Knicks had games canceled because Godzilla laid eggs and MSG.
It's a terrible movie. And you know what, wouldn't you
think that you'd figure that out, like, hey, the team
would go there for practice. Oh wait, I'm sorry, there's
a huge monster here laying eggs. Let's go get it.
(05:55):
Well you think they would know that. No, you think
they would know. But look, look I said, we're divide
in this country, right, We're divide. Maybe maybe you're on
Hall side, maybe you're on Oats's side. We're divided. But
if the Yankees in Red Sox can make a trade,
Mike Harmon, maybe we're not all lost.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
It does bring us all back to me.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I mean, there's not a lot that makes me give
a second glance, like whoa, what is that? But the
Yankees in Red Sox making a trade today, and not
just like hey, here's a sal here's this. No, the
Yankees got a guy who they're expecting to play a
big role from Alex Verdugo. Look, the guy was the
the big centerpiece of the Mookie Betts trade four years ago.
(06:33):
Hasn't worked out for Boston as much as worked out
for the Dodgers. But I mean, this is a pretty
big trade. The Yankees traded like three or four prospects
in this trade. I mean the Yankees in Red Sox
making it Yankees and Red Sox.
Speaker 4 (06:45):
Mike, Yeah, I saw it go down and I had
to do like a triple take all. I was like,
you know, Diana Rossini with all your Jets nonsense.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
Is there three are there three sources? Are there three
different people telling me what's going on here?
Speaker 4 (07:00):
And then I said, well, you know, cats and dogs,
Cats and dogs? U Verdugo last year thirteen home runs, hit,
two sixty four, five stolen bases, on base percentage of
three twenty four, all of that. Uh, that's not the
move that Yankee fans wanted to see. I mean, no
disrespect to alex Erdugo. It's a nice player. Two point
(07:22):
six war Yeah, no, no, no, they're trying to get some
big fish here. But there's some activity. And as you
know we've gone throughout history, sometimes there's tough times and
you know, hard times. As Dusty Rhodes always talked about that,
you gotta do something even if it's wrong. And for
(07:43):
the Yankees, cash Man and company can say, hey, we're
retooling our roster. We even made a trade in division.
That's how much we need to leave twenty twenty three behind.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Jason, How does it make you feel that the Mets
are getting nobody? Hey, we haven't gotten nobody yet. If
we have nobody, we hadn't gotten nobody, might sign a
guy named nobody.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
We haven't gotten nobody. Look, it was down on the man.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
You did get a picture?
Speaker 1 (08:07):
No, like come on, well, look we were it was
down to you and I for Eric Fetty, and it's like, oh,
I'm excited about no White Sox get him two years
fifteen million. Okay, guy was the MVP of Korean baseball level.
The White Sox are outbidding you. You suck? Yeah. Well,
I what I wanted to hope is that, well, the
Mets liked him, but they really are gonna go get
Yamamoto or they're gonna go get somebody else. He's somebody bigger.
(08:28):
Morosi was gonna tell us anything. He can't betray the
trust him, he said to the Dodgers of a schoolmate,
David Stearns. He can't do that.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I was trying to see, if you know, if we
had a video link up, if they could see a
blink if you're telling me the truth on this, because
I mean with Otani, I mean, what can he do, right,
I mean, if you're in Milwaukee exactly, Baxter.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Uh I I there's three big names that that are
gonna move at some point in the in the next
few days, and we're gonna find out Otani and where
Yoshinoba Yamamoto winds up going for probably two hundred and
fifty million, and wherever Jan Sodo gets traded. And for
the Yankees and the Mets, I feel like, and for
(09:15):
the Dodgers as well, the name they're in there with
the big names and the smaller names they haven't come
up with yet because they're all still big game hunting.
The Mets are still out for Yamamoto, the Dodgers are
still out for Otani, and the Yankees are still out
for Sodo. Whatever it is that this is what's going on. Yes,
the other guys are great, and if you get a
(09:36):
guy like Blake Snell or Montgomery or whoever else, okay,
but that that's where all these teams are. The Yankees
Eggs are in Sodo's basket, the Mets are in Yamamoto,
Dodgers are in for Otani. Like, that's where they all
are right now. And once one of those guys goes,
then the teams that miss out, then you're gonna see
things go pretty quickly. I don't think it's gonna be hey,
(09:57):
well here's Otani. Now, it's gonna be a few days. No,
because what happens after that first guy signs is there's
panic and there's hey, we lost out on this guy.
Let's make sure we don't lose out on this guy,
or let's make sure we go get these couple of guys.
And like, really, I feel like everybody's waiting on the
first one of those dominoes to fall, whatever it is,
whether it's Sodo moving or Yamamoto or Otani. Once one
(10:18):
of those things happens, and probably the Sodo deal will
be the last thing that goes on. But once one
of those things happens, then it's gonna be all right,
We're gonna see and it's gonna move pretty pretty quickly
because then you got you gotta get to the ancillary
guys after that. Like I talked like Montgomery's gonna gota
go somewhere. You're talking about Snell, who probably wants a
couple hundred million and and uh, you know, maybe he
sits out for a little bit before he gets the
(10:39):
deal he wants to. But the long gi you sit out,
the least chance you have to get paid. But it's
gonna go really really fast. Right after that first person goes,
and it's gonna go I mean it will be less
than twenty four if Saeyotani goes first, less than twenty
four hours later, Yamamoto's gonna have a new home, and
less than twenty four hours after that, Sodo's gonna be
someplace because the team that moves out. That's what's gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
I think it should be like an Advent calendar. You
got one a day. If you didn't announce it, you know,
whoever gets to the commissioner and to get on MLB
network to announce it first, that's it. And then you
gotta wait to open up that square the next day.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Oh I like that idea. I like that idea of
an MLB at Advent calendar. I like that.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yeah, No, that's it.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
You know, it's in conjunction with you know, the season
of Advent that just started this week. I did see
a couple of great memes. Guys, goes Hey, according to
my Advent calendar, Christmas is in three days because it
was a chocolate one and he just started going to
town on all the chalk.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
But there's gotta be one a day. You can't. You
can't skip a day. There's gotta be one a day.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
But there's one a day. I's got to be unless
you gluttonize. No, you have I have my old funko
Harry Potter one that I trot out for the girls
every year. But look, I got Baltimore, but you have
to have another Weasley.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Yeah, it's one a day.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
So because because we just got an advent, one of
my relatives sent me an Advent calendar for Benny.
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Right, so it's like, oh, for Benny. Nice.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Benny's got his own dog Advent calendar. So after the
first couple of days, what do you think is the
first thing he does in the morning. He wakes up
and walks to his Advent calendar and looks at me
and looks at the Advent calendar and looks at me.
He's like, where's my treat? That's inside the Advent calendar.
So he's there, and what if there's no treat? Right,
I mean, you got used to something, so you.
Speaker 5 (12:18):
Might get attacked by Benny.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
If you want to do the MLB Free Agent Trade
Advent calendar, you had to guarantee me won every single day.
You can't skip a day.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
You gotta know that single day there has to be
an announcement, you know, And he got a line up
and we get one a day, and that's we're at
to your original point about you know, Yanke's and Red
Sox making a trade. Literally in my timeline, I'm looking
at updates from the NBA tried to see if anything's
happened in Major League Baseball. There was literally a picture going, hey,
(12:50):
if these two can get along, anybody can.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
And it's a picture of Eric.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Clapton and George Harrison and the photo was taken by
Patty left Harrison to go there.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You go, there you go. So there I know who
took that picture.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Great, so if these two can get along, here you go.
So it fit the theme. But yeah, I mean we
got a lot of big names. I know you brought
up Blake. I brought up Blake Snell. Uh, you brought
up the fact that you know he's been a contract
to your picture, so you got that. Bellinger is interesting,
interesting because the Cubs have said everything properly in public.
(13:29):
Behind the scenes, they've been rumored to be in on
every big free agent, and then you have other guys
like you know, J. D. Martinez and others that are
out there. So it should be a fun time. Wardo Rodriguez,
where does he go if he signs us with the Dodgers,
don't don't fans get a little mad?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I love La always wanted to be wide? Why is
everybody mad at me? Why spuk spunk exit? How about

Carmen Live from the Tireck dot Com Studios, UH ninety
five ninety four. The Suns lead the Lakers. This is
(16:02):
a playoff game atmosphere, both teams are playing it like
so it's the quarterfinals of the play in tournament and
the Lakers again down by one to the Suns. Ninety
five ninety four. It's been a huge night for Grayson Allen,
which of course we all had on our bingo cards.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Oh absolutely, I've missed the celebrity roll call. Is everybody out,
you know, because of the gravity of this situation?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, yeah, I think yeah, for this game, yes, definitely, Okay, yeah, No,
I mean I think it looks like an NBA Finals game.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
No, it's got a big deal. Everybody on their feet.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
And I think Flea is playing minutes off the bench
for the Lakers.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Now you're talking.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, yeah. Things got really bad in the first half.
Billy Mack was playing point guard for LA, so there was.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
That as in Billy Mack from Love Ashe Billy.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Dude. Billy Mack is hosting the ass out of this game.
You know, I just love the old song. So well,
that's right, Bill, That's why we're doing a new one
from his couch by the way, because it's so Again.
We'll have more on this game coming up again. It's
a one point lead now by the Lakers. Again, still
about four minutes to go in the fourth quarter. But
ah boy, you know sometimes the Jets just exist just
(17:13):
for for entertainment value. Oh yeah, you know, I really
last night we talked about the Jets. You just go
quiet into the offseason at this time, right, go quiet,
don't go crazy, dug it, No, no, no, no, showing
that we want to be the most colorful conflagration of
a tire fire you could possibly have. We want reds
and yellows and oranges, and we want to look like
we're the biggest blaze in the sky, like when you're
(17:35):
fifty miles outside of Vegas and you can see the luxer.
Oh that's the tire fire we want to be. So
the day in Jets started with this. They got a
new quarterback. They decided we're done with Tim Boyle guy
who started the last two games terrible. They cut him
and they brought in Brett Rippin off of the Seahawks
practice squad. Maybe the Jets listened to the show, because
(17:56):
last night, what did I say, Cut all three guys,
get rid of Wilson, get rid of Boil, get rid
of Simeon, bringing three new guys, give them all like
a half to play football, and whichever one plays the best,
hey keeps the job. Because we've seen guys come in
off the street and play well right away with no
practice time, So why not do it? Maybe the Jets
are listening, Mike. Maybe they're doing it well.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Bit by bit. They have to listen to some voice
of reason. Why not us well? Although I mean sometimes
you get excitable, you get.
Speaker 4 (18:21):
Angry, and and your your fandom clouds your vision. Yeah,
sometimes you know, from the positive side, and sometimes you
get ultra negative. Like I try to bring you back
to you know, even keel.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
N I got vision. The rest of the world's wearing bifocals,
just like Butch Cassidy said, I got vision, and it's
well done.
Speaker 5 (18:40):
But yeah, I mean, you're your team's a disaster. There's
no question about it.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
It's okay, quarterback helps it, You're yeah, Brett Rippen.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
I mean look he hung out with Sean McVay.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, he and I mean look that could that could
be the thing that that's the catalyst to a great turnaround.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
How bad this is. He immediately becomes the best quarterback
on the roster. And now I will because he's gonna
start at some point really soon. If he doesn't start Sunday,
he will start the next week. He's got to. So
at least maybe Sundays won't be awful because I like
watching the game and at least I know they have
a chance to score a touchdown where you know they
don't and they have it. So that was how the time.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
It's always greater than zero.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Yes, this is true. So that's how the day started. Okay,
innocently enough. Then we get the firestorm that turned into
Robert Sala and New York media member Joe Binigno. Right now,
this is a story. This is only the Jets man,
not even the Raiders of the Lions would have something
like this. So if you remember the story yesterday, Diana
Rossini ESPN had the story that, hey, the Jets were
(19:41):
thinking about turning back to athletic Diana Rasini sorry formerly
a ESPN had the story that, hey, the Jets were
thinking about going back to Zach Wilson, but he was
unsure if he wanted to reclaim the starter's job. And
all of a sudden was if the guy doesn't want
to stay, he's got to be cut. It's this, It's
that Robert Sala goes on TV and says, no, he
wants the ball. I don't know if I'm there yet
(20:02):
to make him the starter, but he wants the ball.
This story hasn't been negated. This story hasn't been put
to bed, but it hasn't been proven. Okay, and then
we get Joe Binigno, who is a former kind of
as a podcast now for Wfan, the big station New York.
Guy won a contest thirty some odd years ago to
be the overnight host on Wfan. The guy's a huge
(20:23):
Jets fan. And he goes on the radio and says, hey,
I've been texting with Robert Sala. Think about that for
a second. Robert Sala texting a media member a guy
who's a Jets fan, right, who won a contest to
be a radio guy, and he said he's texting with.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
Him, and why that's that's really stuck in your craw.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Because the guy won a contest. Man, that's like less,
that's like less of a resume than I had when
I got the job. Come on, So he he's texting
with Joe Binigno, and Joe Binigo says, hey, according to
the texts I have with Robert Sala, I don't think
Sala likes Zach Wilson all that much now, putting more
fuel on this Zach Wilson fire. And then he goes
on the radio today Boom a Siasin on Wfan and
(21:01):
a couple other shows, and Joba Nigno says, oh, I
think I may have misrepresented what the texts were with
Robert Salah and myself. Oh really misremember really you made
really you misrepresented the text? I think he misremembers what
a blank show?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Right?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
What only the Jets would have a situation where the
coach sent the text to him.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
You know, there's real easy way to fix that here.
Just take a screenshot of those text.
Speaker 5 (21:28):
Messages the food.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
If you're gonna text a media member, man text me,
at least I'll help you. I'll help you fix the
team man, I'll tell you, Hey, I know it sucks
Aaron Rodgers is hurt, but you gotta get a new quarterback.
Speaker 5 (21:41):
No, I know, Jason Mason, World of Spin.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I know, I know you want to put Zach Wilson.
But didn't you sign Aaron Rodgers because Zach Wilson stunk.
Just think about that. I don't care. Nobody cares if
you get rid of him. You got Aaron Rodgers, but
you can't go to Zach Wilson because you replaced him
because he wasn't good enough. Now he's good enough again. No,
come on, man, go get Josh Dobbs, Go get somebody else,
go to and the Jets would be in a better place.
They'd be nine to four. Things would be great. It
(22:05):
would be on my god, Jason Smith saved the season.
Look at this, he's the shadow of a shadow coach
because he's not like shadow coaching at the games. He's
shadow coaching from three thousand miles away on the radio.
I'm a shadow shadow coach. I'm a double shadow coach.
I'd be solving things. Okay, so now this is a
huge deal. Now because Robert Salas texting a guy from
the media who's a Jets fan. But then that's not
(22:28):
all because because today Jets, you know Pat McAfee show
on ESPN, Aaron Rodgers waged in, and Aaron Rodgers is
not happy that there have been leaks and this story
is out there that maybe Robert Sala doesn't like Zach Wilson,
or maybe Zach Wilson said he doesn't know if he
wants to start again for the Jets. Now, the one
(22:49):
guy you can't piss off, the one guy you've changed
everything to go get. Now, Aaron Rodgers is mad, and
now he wants some solutions for this controversy.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
I have had relationships with obviously a number of different
media people over the years. You get to know them.
They're in the locker room. There was Viga writers. You
put your name on something, then you stand behind it,
you know, like I believe and this and yes it's over.
Yeah exactly, thank you.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
But what you're saying, yeah, put your name behind it.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
I like, that's a good three year old joke there
on the Immune. He also went on to say it's
chicken blank that these leaks are coming from the Jets.
We have to solve who is doing this. And all
I said to myself after that was you know, it's
not enough to jet stink. It's not enough. The jet stink,
and they can't find a quarterback. It's not enough. They stink,
can't find a quarterback, and the offense stinks. It's not enough.
They stink, they can't find a quarterback, the offense stinks,
(23:47):
and the season's over. No, no, it's not enough. They stink,
The offense stinks, the quarterback stinks, the season's over. And
now the head coach is texting a member of the media.
Now it stinks. The head coach stinks, the season's over,
the quarterback stinks, the coaches texting a member of the media.
And now the one guy you don't want to get
pissed off to say I don't want to be here.
You have pissed off in Aaron Rodgers, because now he's thinking,
(24:07):
what kind of place did I come to here? I
was loving life here with the Jets. I don't I know.
People probably warned me and said, dude, it's the Jets.
Watch what happens. Now he's getting look at it up close.
How long until he says, I don't want to be
here anymore. I know, trade me, get me someplace else Man,
I can't eye the trust is not here in the organization.
Now the one guy you can't find a way to
(24:28):
piss off, Now he's pissed off. I'm in mortal about
what is what is happening?
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Man?
Speaker 4 (24:33):
But it's funny, Jason, I mean it's it's one of
those things where you know he does have to have
that reality check.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Call back to the old Alex Teischer podcast.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
Is that you need to pause and recognize that a
lot of the damage done with the roster and what
this team is right now. Good old number eight was
the guy. He was the architect. He was the guy
being the deb in Joe Douglas's ear gun.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
You know, I'll come to.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
The Jets if you hired this guy. But he failed
in Denver, that doesn't matter. He's my guy. Look at
the success we had in Green Bay. Oh, and I'm
also gonna need this guy. Wait, that guy's old. Now
it doesn't matter. He's my guy. He can trust him
on third time, all right. And then this other guy,
(25:24):
I need you to give him a lot of money.
And his name's Lizard.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
Wait.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
Wait, wait, that guy was good a couple of years ago,
like five. No, No, those are my guys, and I
tell you it's gonna be great. Spend the money. Forget
about those other free agents, bring in my guys, and now, hey, hey,
we can't lose Delvin Cook to the Dolphins. I mean
he's doing all alliginnis with his little beard nol Nin like,
you don't need any of those other free agents. These
(25:51):
are the guys we're looking for. And it's his fault.
I mean, Joe Douglas signed the checks. So it's his
ass that gets brut out of town. But Aaron Rodgers
conveniently going look at what these guys are doing.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
This is a joke. By the way, he's also the
guy that probably is the leaker of all of it.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Look well, he.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Blames people in the organization. He's probably the guy doing
all the others.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
No, no, no, he's not leaking it. He's very outfront the
guys he wanted. Man, I mean, this is this is
not oh hey, I didn't want Lizard.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
And no, no, no, no, I'm saying right now, right now, he's
the leaker of all of the You know, I'm not
gonna tell anybody, but Zach, you know it actually come
to me. And so this is a good chance to
really burn it all down, to exert my dominance over
all of it.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
The one guy. Okay, at least, at going I thought,
at least going into this season, Rogers won't come back
too soon. He'll be one hundred percent healthy. No, no, no,
Now he's mad now. And part of it is yes,
he does like the drama. He has not been involved
in a lot of drama because all of his drama
loving self was immerston. I'm coming back as soon as possible.
(26:59):
I'm gonna ramp up practice. Just win one, That's all
he said for the last month. Just win one more
bleeping game and I'll come back. Just one, no, no,
five in a row. So now he's got no drama.
So now he's involved in this because hey, here's some drama.
But just when it's okay, just just don't don't upset.
The only thing is don't upset Rogers. Now the guy's mad.
Now the guy doesn't know who to trust coaches wise,
(27:19):
players wise, media wise. Now he's mad. Now now he's mad.
The one guy, the one guy. Now he's upset.
Speaker 5 (27:26):
What do you mean who he can trust? Whatever else?
Speaker 4 (27:29):
Like he wrought all this and depending on that Robert
Sama is trying to find a friend.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
No, no, we're.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
I really shouldn't have texted Benigno. Uh no, I I know,
but but he wants an Okay, obviously people are talking out.
They're they're breaking the trust of the locker room. I
don't like it. I don't know who's doing it. And
now we have this with the coach, and oh my god,
what a mess I've walked into here in New York.
I didn't know it was like this. I thought I
left the circus behind in Green Bay. Nope, I've just
traded in the Green Bay circus for an even bigger
(28:01):
big top. This is like the greatest Showman of circuses.
And you Jackman's in the middle singing, Oh, this is
the greatest show dundu dude, this is where he is
right now. I'm waiting for it's gonna be Hey. I
thought it was gonna work with with the uh Jets,
but it really isn't. So I'm gonna need to be
with a new team next year. You have to go
someplace else. I'm gonna have to go.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
No, I mean, look, it's an easy thing to do, so,
you know, you point the finger and just say I
need to get out of here. Sure, because he can
be that guy that closes off everything the reality, math
and science.
Speaker 5 (28:36):
Uh, to do what he wants to do.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
I mean, that's that's what Aaron you know, it's science.
That's what Aaron Rodgers does. So you know, being able
to compartmentalize it as it's all their fault. Yeah, that's
exactly what I would expect him to do and to say, hey,
this is untenable. This roster is not what I signed
on for. I was promised a better offensive line and
(29:00):
blah blah blah.
Speaker 5 (29:01):
No you could see it coming from a mile away,
no question about it.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
It's science, man, It's science. This is this is how
bad it is for the Jets. This is what it's like.
I mean, I like this is I don't I don't
know what winning looks like. I don't know winning looks like.
Is winning? Scoring a touchdown in the first quarter is winning?
Rogers saying, can't wait to come back. I don't know
what winning looks like. I really don't.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
I don't know, dude. I'm a Bears fan. I got.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
I got that, and I got Rex Grossman against Peyton
Manning and the Super Bowl with prints at halftime that's
my life, man.
Speaker 5 (29:34):
That that's my living years of the Bears.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
And they were entertaining for a while, and and and
every once in a while they are I mean.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
So what you're telling me with the living years, Mike,
You're no mechanic, but you're enjoying the Super Bowl.
Speaker 5 (29:49):
It's all you can do, buddy.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
Let's find out what's trending right now in the wide
world of sports. Got a bit of controversy happening right
now at the Crypt in the quarter finals between the
Suns and the Lakers. A dis if you did possession
while the Lakers had the ball with a two point lead,
where Austin Reeves fumbled the ball away and was there
a foul called? Was there not? Should it be the
(30:11):
Sun's ball? It's being debated right now. Thanks so much,

Speaker 5 (30:53):
So how I felt when they awarded that timeout.
Speaker 1 (30:55):
Live from the ti rag dot com studios, uh Laker
and Sons.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
What a fun ending. Lakers were up by two.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Anthony Davis gets fouled with about six seconds left, goes
the free throw line, hits the first, misses the second.
The Sun's got the rebound, got the ball to kd.
They were down three with six seconds to go, and
the last six seconds went like this.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Look at.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
The chased the town gets.
Speaker 7 (31:30):
It off toward the ends and it is picked of
gonna get have it and it's hollow.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
At the twenty, he's cutting back inside of New York
for twenty five twenty on the right hand five. I
really didn't see that coming. You'd think I would. I
did not see that coming. Did not see that.
Speaker 5 (31:54):
That was good. You got Ropidope, you got.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Got Dolphins radio, y J.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
I know.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
The final six seconds went like this.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
Three is the oldest.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Woman to the.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Lakers, Billy mag Lakers TV on the coup. The Lakers
are in the Semis. It's the D season tournament, and
the Lakers look at them. The championship is coming. Lebron
is huge tonight and it was an incredible game, and
there's a lot to get to on it. But let
(32:32):
me just say this. That final play where KD has
the ball, he dribbles down from mid court, and I
know it was a subtle thing, but for Torian Prints
to not back off of him and allow KD to
have an extra dribble where he's taking the three just
beyond the arc, he kind of steps up and forces
KD to, Okay, I gotta shoot here because the time
(32:54):
is ticking down and it's an off balanced thirty five footer.
That's an airball. That's all the difference on that play
because you can easily see defense. I don't want to foul.
I want to find you're backing off, backing off, and
KD gets another dribble and a half and he stops
right behind the three point line and he hits one,
and bingo, we're going to overtime. But just the fact
didn't try to foul. Just I'm getting in your way
(33:14):
a little bit, and you don't have time to really
dribble around me and do it because time is ticking down.
And he forces a really bad shot by KD, a
big forced one that again draws nothing but air, and
the Lakers win it, and they go to the semi finals,
and a date with Zion awaits in Vegas. There we go,
they're playing, they're playing Bucks and Pages at nine o'clock
(33:35):
in the morning. And then we got and we got
to the main entree with the Lakers and the Pelicans
and Lebron and Zion.
Speaker 5 (33:42):
How great is that?
Speaker 4 (33:44):
I mean, look, it'll be far more entertaining than the
Thursday night football that will.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
This is true.
Speaker 5 (33:51):
That's true.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
Damn sure, over under are either twenty nine and a
half or thirty, depending where you're shopping.
Speaker 5 (33:56):
When I was looking a little bit earlier, but I off.
Speaker 4 (34:00):
The sequence with the inbound reeves where he loses the ball,
but Lebron's granted the time out.
Speaker 5 (34:05):
I've watched it like ten toimes, like is that really
the right call? Or is it home cooking?
Speaker 3 (34:11):
Be cuz Frostburg the Lakers are bleeping bat battle?
Speaker 5 (34:15):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Yeah? Vegas? It wasn't it? Wasn't you know Austin Reeves
turns the ball over great hed he played by Devin Booker,
not fouling him because Reeves was struggling with the ball
a little bit. But boy, to get that time out,
that was a bit of a.
Speaker 4 (34:33):
Right, I mean because technically if you wouldn't, if you
weren't calling the foul on the little bump as he
turned with the ball, then he technically walked.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, yeah, no, you're right. Or or Grayson Allen's got
the ball under the hoop for a lane in a
tie game because the ball bounces over to him and
he winds up getting it and there's nobody there.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
He picks it up on the end line, looking around, like,
what the hell's happening?
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Uh? So Thursday Pacers, but Ucks, Pelicans, Lakers in the
semis in Vegas?
Speaker 5 (35:04):
Did you did you notice the streamers coming down? What
a soengh?
Speaker 7 (35:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah, dude, you moving on, man, moving on to the
semi finals. Also four the Lakers are in the final four.
I just like all the branding is fricking everywhere, including
what I'm scrolling through on my YouTube TV in season.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Real question for you guys here fell cancel Thursday Night
football now that the Lakers are playing.
Speaker 1 (35:26):
Oh this, yeah, Steelers Patriots. Yeah, come on, you gotta
cancel it. Come on, yeah, you can't play it. You
gotta move it to Friday. Yeah. Oh, do you really
need to even play the game? I don't need to
play it. I mean, come on, I'm watching them play
on Sunday. You're talking about it's Trubisky and Steve Grogan
that are squaring off on You wish the Jets had
Trubisky right about now? Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, sure,
(35:48):
I wish you had Steve Grogan. I Grogan right now.
But look, the one thing there's been a lot of
criticism about about the play intern which we have more
on coming up in a few minutes. But you know,
sometimes you just have to understand, Yeah, it's fun, and
this is what the NBA was hoping for, a game
like tonight that was played like a playoff game. Lebron
(36:09):
at fifteen in the fourth quarter, he was huge, this
is a fun little thing. Hey, I can I can
win another I can win another title, right, I can
win the padd O'Brien Trophy, yere and win a title
in the middle of the season. This is kind of
what the NBA envisioned when they saw the n season tournament. Now,
there's certain changes that need to be made to it
that are just gonna augment it. But this is kind
(36:30):
of what they were hoping for and expected. Hey, we're
into the semifinals. We have a couple of big time
teams and stars in the mix to play. We're very
excited about this. We could get Bucks Lakers in the final.
We could get Bucks Pelicans, could get Bucks that we
could Giannis and Zion, or we could get Pacers Pelicans.
But we know we could get it. We have a
lot of big matchups we could get here.
Speaker 4 (36:49):
Mike, Yeah, I mean it's really cool on the Eastern
Conference side from straight Hey, you like watching basketball side,
But you know, the Knicks in there would have been fun.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Oh sure, I believe that they would have put the
Nicks on at night. The Lakers would be on during.
Speaker 5 (37:03):
This to watch the pain.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Yeah, come on, man, you want Nix Lakers in the finals.
Come in, Nick Lakers for the Paddle'brian Trophy. Come on,
everybody celebrates the power Yeah, exit out by the Fresca
exit swollen, dumb. This is what the NBA was hoping
for and finally they got it. Congratulations. More on this
