(00:23):
you're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Let's have a five
second air guitar solo. Wow. Bill Belichick must really like
that song. Uh tight? You had me full. I thought
for a second, maybe you have to wait for the
Antica patient. And also I was a little disappointed you

(00:44):
didn't play it for j when he was here yesterday.
Give him the guitar solo. We should out. I didn't
think about that. There's other things. I mean, I'm asking
j every five minutes in the breaks about Adam Gaze
and the Jets. I mean, I got other things on
my mind. That's how it's going. Welcome side. It is
the Jason Smith Show with my bas friend Mike Harmon,

(01:04):
live from the Geico Studios, where fifteen minutes can save
you fifteen percent and more in car insurance. More info
visit geiko dot com. Well, it's taken Chris Paul a game,
tell you Chris Paul a game. However, he has held
James Harden to twenty two points nearing the midway point
of the fourth quarter, and of course Hardon went for

(01:27):
forty on Sunday. Paul, was that all right? Great? But
now the Pelicans who are playing tonight without Anthony Davis,
who is missing the game, and we'll have much more
on a d coming up in a couple of minutes.
They're beating Houston right now, one oh three to ninety eight,
and James Harden is having a very typical James Harden knight.

(01:47):
Six out of twenty four from the floor, three out
of fourteen from three point range, seven out of seven
from the free throw line. This is James Harden's night.
So this could be the game we doesn't get the
thirty points, and it's all gonna be Chris Paul's fault.
Chris Paul, who, by the way, is played twenty two
minutes and scored eight, So it's all gonna be Chris

(02:09):
Paul's fault. That's gonna be exactly what happened. Nobody else
to blame, not defense, not a bad shooting nights inna
Chris Paul's fault and we'll watch the Rockets and blowed.
It's kind of where we're at, uh seven thirty to
go in the fourth quarter again, James Harden twenty two points.
He is eight shy of keeping that streak alive, So
we'll keep you updated there. And look, players aren't even

(02:29):
passing to him. Fraser's just driving to the hoop. Hardens, Well,
come on, I mean, really, what's happening. You gotta get
hard in the ball. I mean, Okafer has been playing
mega minutes and what's what's happening here? This is insane,
absolutely insane. But Okaford does have twenty three and eleven
for the Pelicans in this one, so hopefully he's probably

(02:50):
gonna get traded on the same deal with A. But
speaking of Anthony Davis, that's where we're gonna start tonight
because so much drama has happened. Arting Davis as the
trade winds keep blowing for him was Jason, Yeah, what's
up called nedphones? Yeah, you heard the Knicks rout of
the running. You heard was the big story. That's fake news.

(03:14):
The Knicks have better assets than everybody else. They got
better assets than the Lakers. They got better assets and
making sure to say that better right, well, they probably do,
probably have better I mean, well, let's see, I'm trying
to think of some of the players. Uh, you know,
I'll say that's a wash. I'll say that's a wash.
That's where we're at. But they have better assets. I'd

(03:36):
rather have, poorzingis rather have the first round pick the
Knicks half, which is gonna be a top three pick,
maybe the number one pick overall. Possibly, I'd rather have
those than anything the Lakers are gonna give. So yeah, no,
the Knicks are gonna be in this, whether you like it, Frostberg,
whether you're like it on all the way to the end,
the Lakers are gonna go. I don't know where you've
been sleeping under a rock today. They're out of going

(03:59):
to all reports right there, distant third in the betting
Eyes and Celtics have already made all their calls. While
they can't activate anything. They've got handshake agreements. Come on,
you know that fake news Nix Nicks nix Nicks Nicks
is what it is. Now. Lebron is gonna fan oas
this whole thing, right, he's been waiting to snap his

(04:19):
fingers behind the scene spoiler alert for the three people
hidden under a rock fingers. No, but the the idea
of being who does he want to stay around? Nobody
who's on that team that he wants Maybe maybe Rondo
essentially doesn't want to He doesn't want to fight him

(04:41):
on the other side because you know, though another team
will sign him to work against him, has counter agent.
He also wants to tweet out, you know, fun air
guitar videos of Land Stevens. Is they're not gonna do that.
He doesn't play in the Lakers, that part of it.
But it's just hit that that point in the last
forty eight hours, and we've been waiting for it for
a long time. The day to day injury, we talked
about it a little bit last night. The day to

(05:02):
day injury that became a month long evaluation process. Surprised
we didn't see him sitting there instead of a glass
of wine with an iPad taking notes on defensive lapses
and whatever else was going on. But here's where we're
at now with a d the day after we find
out about his trade request earlier today, the Pelicans say
they're in no rush to trade Anthony Davis, and they

(05:24):
won't do it unless they get quote overwhelmed by a
deal at the deadline. This then led into the fifty
dollar fine that was levied on Anthony Davis because he
and his agent Rich Paul went public with a trade request.
He shook out that fifty grand like he was, you kid,
it's the best fifty grand that you could possibly spend

(05:45):
fifty thou dollars to tell everybody, Oh A d wants out.
He's got the Lakers already Carver carving up their roster.
He's got the Nicks trying to figure things out. He's
got the Celtics trying to make money. Everybody. We got
everybody that could possibly be a player on either side
West Western Conference or Eastern Conference trying to figure out

(06:05):
what they can put together and cobbled together for fifty grand.
That's how was that communitive worth. You might as well
take out air time. Anybody's will buy a Super Bowl
ad for crying out lou Well. I think A d
is gonna do an interview with CBS News after Trump
during the Super Bowl. We are going to see that.
I mean, I'd kind of rather do them together. I
think they'd be kind of fun. You're trying to orchestrate trade.

(06:29):
My whole administration is about trade, trade and balance. You
really think Trump knows and who Anthony Davis is, and
Anthony Davis wants a trade. I bet he's heard of
a guy called the unrow's he's heard that term. You're
that guy with the one eyebrow. You don't have two eyebrows.
That's more than one. It's like if I have if
I have one dollar, I cut in half, I have
two dollars. You think you would go anything gay eyebrows

(06:51):
ruin the whole. But he image, here's the thing, and
this is why this trade. I would I would put
good chance it happens by the deadline, because is the
Pelicans have said, we're okay, we'll wait for a while.
But it's a feeding frenzy for Anthony Davis. This is
not we're waiting to see what. It's a frenzy for
Anthony Davis. The Knicks want him, the Lakers want him,

(07:13):
Boston wants him. Maybe Toronto jumps in with a whole thing.
Hey screw it, We're gonna go for broke this year
and try to win. If Kauai leaves and if a
d leaves Hey Lesa would have won the championship. So
take your shot. You're gonna have so many people try
to get in. Here's why the Knicks make the most
sense because the offer that's out there. You talk about
the top two assets that the Pelicans can get from

(07:37):
any team that wants Anthony Davis, What are the best
two assets you can get Kris stops Porzingis and the
Knicks first round pick this year, because it's gonna wind
up being at least a top three pick, could be
the number one overall pick, which translates and Design Williamson
and then suddenly you're starting your franchise over the new
big Man and and things can go from there. I
would rather have Porzingis and the number and or the

(08:00):
number one pick that I'd rather have a Lonzo Ball,
Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, anybody else is gonna get traded.
Are are the Celtics really gonna trade Jayson Tatum? I
don't think so. I think they're gonna hold on to
him and say, okay, let's recalibrate and get you off,
you know, away from Kobe Bryant, his mama mentality. After
this year. You're gonna get good role players from Boston.
But that's gonna be the best offer. Now. Does it

(08:22):
come with risk? Sure, but it's not like the Knicks
aren't taking on risk because is Anthony Davis gonna be
somebody who resigns? Maybe, but maybe not. Porzingis is coming
back off off of tourn a c l. The guy's
been heard a long time. And the number one pick
could be the number one overall pick, but could also
be the third pick, could be you know who know'd
be what's behind the box. So, but you're trading Porzingis
and that that gets me, Anthony. If I'm the Pelicans,

(08:44):
I go, you know what, that's better than anything the
Lakers are trying to sell me, because the Lakers to
But that's the big thing though, is that Lonzo Ball
doesn't want to go there. At least that's the report
right according to people with Lonzo balls camp, which means
the old man tough crap. You're going, sorry, I got
no problem with that. Didn't ship them. Figure it out.

(09:07):
If you were the GM of the Lakers wou months ago,
we wouldn't have gotten to the regular season. Be here already, well,
you would have gotten Paul George here, no, I I
honestly never cared for Paul George. There you go, that's true.
He hasn't. That's true. He never liked even they're chanting
m v P every time. But with the Lakers package,

(09:27):
there's those are guys who're gonna try to either spin
off or their their their jads. I mean, there's not
a special guy in terms of a number one transcendent potential.
That's why you let him all go to play two
on five. Look, and I'm with you, it's NBA jam,
let's go. But the effect when we're looking at these

(09:48):
other teams, you're talking about a number one pick with
Zion and rolling the dice that the subruder film that
we have of Kris stops porzingis running is going to
translate back into encore dominance. Cool. I can get with that.
But you fear the Celtics. And again, here's the thing
with the Peal kids. They got a year and a
half sooner rather than later because because hey, he's agreed

(10:09):
to play. And the thing is the Celtics they gotta
wait until July to realize that legitimately do you're gonna
have to make They're gonna have to decide, you know what,
the Knicks want him, the Lakers want him. They're gonna
all the Lakers are gonna offer a toime. We have
to throw caution to the wind and say, you know what,
we'll give you all. It's gonna decimate us. And maybe
you don't sign Rosier and Freanchie will try to do it.

(10:30):
Maybe we don't sign Marcus Morrison free agency. It was
whether Kyrie wants to come back. Well, the thing is
because he made he may just say I'm out Kyrie. Yeah,
who knows Kyrie is whether he wants to come here
last great wild cards in the way I could never
put in realize I know, say no what flat So

(10:51):
there's really no he could go to the Knicks, to
the lone. Here's the report today. He's for giving LEBRONI
like to come out here and pay once you go
out here. He wants to be the guy in Brooklyn.
You can't bank on anything. Remember when he did that
thing on the on court. We were on on air
and looked at it goes Okay, see me in six months.
Let's see how this plays and how the season goes.

(11:11):
You got Warriors players talking about how Gordon Haywards a
liability on both ends of the court that can't sit well.
The fact that Kyrie had to go public and say,
you know what, I'm a leader means you're not and
you're having problems and you're you're looking at what those
other assets are. Now you'll have some protected picks and
we'll see how the final thirty games play as to

(11:31):
what they still have. But certainly treasure trove of draft picks.
But what can you do. You can only do a
handshake agreement at this point on wishing and hoping of Hey,
you know what, don't deal him to the Lakers. You
know you can come to us. You know we're a
blue blood program. We've got all these assets. Nix have
the best offer. Your obsession with the Nick Okay, let

(11:55):
me say, I'm gonna tell who went on ESPN today
and said the Knicks are in it, because that's one
of the few ESPN where did he really go on
what he went on? First take? Yeah, and he did
say that the Lakers. Yes, routine that Anthony said the
Nicks are one of the teams. They're already in the

(12:17):
running for Hunter and Henry. Come on all of this,
Why don't we need this guy on? I got everything
in the NBA. I got about good authority. Lebron's gonna
leave for the Clippers after the All Star breaker is over.
So this is this case. This is the thing. Now,
is that both of you guys answer me this bulls Lakers.

(12:38):
If I said, all right, you could have your choice
of any of the following players, any of the following assets,
not giving up anything. Now you're trading anything. What would
you want? Would you want? And you can pick any two? Right?
You could do? This usually gets me to but you know,
pick two, like you could have Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball,

(12:59):
Brandon Ingram, you could have Zobos, you can have Porzingis,
you can have the Knicks first round pick. You can
have your host of players from the Celtics that may
or may not include Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum. What do
you pick? Now? In theory you would say, wow, boy,
Jayson Tatum is really good. But Jayson Tatum, and what

(13:20):
is that better than the Knicks first round pick that's
gonna could be Zion Williamson. No, it's not the top
two assets you can get from anybody. You would say
on your team, if you could have any of those things.
You would say, give me porzingis give me the number
one overall. And the biggest thing with the Desion Williamson
is the fact that everybody knows who he is. So
you've got a guy you can market. This isn't your
normal You're gonna say some teams like know who he is,

(13:41):
so you're not gonna pass on him. I'm talking about
the casual fan like marketing and sales perspective. It's one
thing to say, hey, we got a number one pick.
Here's the number one pick that people have seen, and
he's been shoved down your throat some guy from Europe.
That's like, here's video and twitter at. How about a
fresco my at Swollen Dome The Jason Smith Show with

(14:02):
my bast friend Mike Harmon. We love more on a
d But coming up next, we know where Bryce Harper
is gonna end up Cleveland. It's not gonna be Cleveland.
The Indians right out of that was the wild card team.
But do we really know where Bryce Harper is gonna
add We'll tell you coming up next on Fox. I

(14:27):
hate that song. Be sure to catch live editions of
The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten
pm Eastern seven pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
the I Heart Radio app. From a hot air balloon
landing on a car to a load of concrete falling
on one, we've covered it. Talk to farmers. We know
a thing or two. Because we've seen a thing or two.
We are farmers under written. My farmers took fire insurance

(14:52):
exchanges and affiliates products unavailable in every state. Clearly, the
Pelicans don't need Anthony Davis Oh Hot take oh so hot.
They banned it together. This galvanized them into the team
that they could become. Just like when Bookie Cousin's got
hurt last year, they started playing better basketball. Same thing.
This guy doesn't want to be here, blank him, doesn't matter,

(15:14):
Will will win, Will beat you guys with oka for
playing thirty five minutes? And come on? Uh so, what's
happening right now? The Pelicans are on the cusp of
beating the Rockets without Anthony Davis. Davis out tonight because
of trade roomors because of an injury, and so the

(15:36):
Pelicans played without him. What do you have an upset stomach?
After getting the fifty fine? Got to count out fifty
thou dollars and and and send it out in the
middle compartment of his car and just scoops it out.
Here's fifty grand. You're right in here. You know he
makes fifty plus grand for every eight minutes on the court.
Eight minutes. Wow, I thought he played eight minutes night

(15:57):
and then check out of the game and all right,
here you go. That's it. Here's that mone didn't even
show up to night. He's on his way to the
stable center. So without without is not tampering. No, no, no,
are you working for them? Now? To know what he's
doing is he's playing NBA two K to see if
they can Lakers can win the championship with him. He's
trying to figure out simulator. Yeah, he's made all the

(16:18):
trades in NBA two K and he's trying to see
which trade simulator ends with him on the Lakers winning
the title. So he knows what the Lakers to him.
Maybe he wants to go to the nets. I mean,
the come on really to play with d' angelo. Hey,
the resurgent D'Angelo Russell. I'd love for the Lakers of

(16:40):
trade Alonzo Baldo Brooklyn. Yeah, you go play there, Good
luck good luck, but without Anthony Davis will have more
on him coming up in a few minutes. UH Julil
Okafer five points, twelve rebounds, having a huge night. UH
drew Holiday seventeen and seven as the Pelicans need the
Rockets by nine with a minute to go in this game.

(17:03):
But more importantly, the streak continue succeed and proceed. Moments ago,
James Harden hit a three, giving him an even thirty
points for the night. So the streak is now at
twenty four consecutive games. Sweat this one out a little bit.
Can I just do the James Harden quick? I don't
care about these streaks. It doesn't matter. We lost the game.

(17:26):
We didn't We didn't play well. We we didn't rotate. Well,
we're trying to reintegrate Chris. He's gonna take some time.
He got playing a violin behind him. Well, look, he
did score forty with Paul on Sunday. Took a little
bit to get it to to get his imprint on
the game. I really need to, you know, I need
a game back. I was rusty he held Harden to

(17:47):
you know, Harden went for forty. Now he's held in
the thirty. That's a big that's a big change. You
know that the shots didn't go to Chris Paul on
this one. No, he was only three of seven, So
I'm blaming you for re reads already good. Now suddenly
shots a game nineteen and eleven. I'm like, I missed
your double double. I need a long term deal. So

(18:08):
James Harten has his thirty the Street continues. We'll have
more on that coming up in a couple of minutes.
He actually has another lay up, make it thirty two.
So now he's on his way to forty. But following
I'm gonna give you a big, bold prediction on Bryce
Harper because today was an insane day where we thought
Bryce Harper was going to the Phillies and then it
turns out, well, maybe he's not. It was early in

(18:30):
the day that MLB the Show a video game put
out on Twitter, Hey, you want to keep an eye
on this account tomorrow, just saying with a picture of
Bryce Harper wearing an MLB the Show had insinuating that
they would have the breaking news of where Bryce Harper
is going to play. There are also some people tweeting
out pictures from inside ESPN that they were getting a

(18:52):
graphic ready, Bryce Harper to the Phillies. And there's all
this stuff going on in social media, but that's but
that's like the obituary that you have on a famous guy.
Yeah there, you gotta worked up hat, yeah Jersey combination
photo shop paint job for every team that could possibly
land him. And then you had a fake, gambling out,

(19:12):
fake quote from some kind of gambling Twitter account that
said confirmed that Bryce Harper is signing with the Phillies,
and and Vegas has taken prop bets of Harper off
the board. Meanwhile, Vegas doesn't have prop bets on Bryce
Harper off the boards on the board. So all of
these things were like, oh, yeah, Bryce Harper is gonna
be a Philly. Bryce Harper is gonna be a Philly.
And finally John Hayman, who was the only person to

(19:34):
tweet something out that's got a check mark, says, Phillies
are interested in on Bryce Harper, but rumors of him
signing today in Philly are completely unfounded. So all of
this we thought Bryce Hart, Bryce Hart, Bryce Hartbryce and
now it's oh so it's where we were a day ago. Well,
but it got baseball fans excited. Look because you know,
spring training starts to listen two weeks. According to I

(19:55):
forget whose Twitter kind it was, it had the blue
check mark that you covet so uh and it was
from MLB dot COM's free agent list of those listed
on their their two free agents are still unsigned. Yeah,
lots of people are unsigned. But because they're waiting for
these two guys to sign, that would fall even though

(20:17):
they're they're not in the same class, that one should
not impact the other. I'm a Class eight free agent.
I'm waiting, not hard. My guys waiting on Harper Machado.
I'm not signing, and it's just pictures and catchers in
two weeks, so it's not like subtle. Everybody's got to
be there. So there's still a little bit of time.
But I'll give you a Bowl prediction for this hot

(20:39):
takes Gwiss, Harper and Manny Machado. I got a big
Bryce Harper and many Machado Bowl prediction. They will both
land with quote mystery teams. Now, ask me about a
mystery team. Who are the mystery teams? How would you
constitute a mystery team? Team? Is some is a team
we're not hearing about right now, simply because Scott Boris

(21:00):
Machado's representation realized that, Okay, the White Sox are the
only team to give Manny Machado an offer. If Manny
Machado really wanted to be a White Sock, he would
have signed dollars or whatever it was to The Phillies
are in on Hard Parker. If Bryce Harper wanted to
be a Philly, he would have signed already. If Bryce
Harper wanted to be at Washington National, he would have
signed already with the ten years three at a million

(21:22):
dollar deal. He doesn't want to go to these teams.
So what's happening now, I guarantee you is Scott Boris
is never, never wants to lose. So what they're doing
behind closed doors is they're now spinning it out, saying, hey,
bryceon Manny are open to taking shorter deals and hitting
free agency again in a couple of years. Let's what
do we think about something two or three years, So

(21:42):
Manny Machado and Bryce Harper both nine when they hit
free agency again, and then maybe by then things change
and they cash in on those big more. So a
team were we we're not hearing about is gonna wind
up being a team. And this is gonna throw a
lot of contending teams back in it, because suddenly teams
like the Dodgers Yankees are oh, two years or Bryce
Harper two years and and and sixty million for Bryce Harper,

(22:05):
Yeah we can do that, two years and fifty five
million for Manny Machado, Yeah, we can do that. And
so it's gonna be a team that we're not hearing
because the only teams we've heard about for the Machado
or the White Sox, the only you've heard about for
Bryce Harper have been the Phillies and the Nationals, and
that's been it. That's what's been down to. So it's
another team, and it could be a contender that they're
gonna wind up going to because they can't look like

(22:26):
they're signing for for bad value and they can't look
like they're gonna lose a negotiation. Scott Bors isn't gonna
lose anything, Machado's representation isn't gonna lose anything. So they're
looking right now, Hey, how about two three years, we
get you a really good team and you play there
and then you hit free agency for the long term. Again,
that's what's gonna happen. It's gonna be a team that
we haven't heard of, and that's where they're gonna go.

(22:47):
I like the way you think we have the quotes
the anonymous owners and executives saying, hey, the era that
eight and tenure deal is done, which let's call what
it is. They they've been failures, right. You spend a
lot of money in and we look at Albert Poolholes
and we celebrate every milestone. We celebrate all of his accomplishments.
And a guy who does a lot of good things.

(23:07):
Whatever else. Back to the matter is what have they
won with it. It's been a nice one to combination
with he and Mike Trout. You bring in Otani, that's great.
You've got storylines and you could sell some merch and
and make some chots keys that get a few more
people in the ball. Let let's go extra flair. Let's
get some pizza to nice Brian. Yeah, but you like

(23:35):
the word chat, but the idea just you saw what
the second half of that contract was. The overall numbers
look good when you look at and when you're in
mid October or you look at the next year's baseball card,
you turn over and you go, hey, yeah, and okay,
year the power numbers the RBI still there, like did
they matter. No, they were long out of any contention

(23:56):
and any meaning before any of those numbers went up.
So yes, they're they're stat padding. So now we we
look at for Harper, for Machado, those three four year deals,
I would say probably are on the table. I would
not count out Bryce Harper still becoming a Dodger when
it's all said, none stars moving. I'm telling you it's

(24:17):
gonna be a start of big team that we're not
hearing about that's gonna come out of nowhere because it's
gonna be a shorter term. We're gonna win this negosha,
I'm still gonna get the thirty million or whatever. So
the Padres are out. If you wanted to be a Padre,
they would have both would have signed. There said big team. No,
it's it's it's gonna be like the Dodgers or the Yankees.

(24:38):
It's gonna be it's gonna be big teams that go back.
We've go down to Petco to watch him with me.
You don't watch Bryce Harperty yell at him and then
I look, I've got a couple of cool Mexican restaurants
along the way that we've ferret it out. Nothing the
Mets down. That's true. They did get about the Mets
just in general. The only where getting Smith's house now diego, ah,

(25:01):
wait about you just said you want to go to
a Mexican restaurant eat ferret. Is that what you said?
I'm pretty sure that's what Harmon just said. What I said,
I don't, Hey, look there are in Oregon. I don't
know where they're eating laws. No, I don't. I don't
think they serve ferret. I don't think they serve ferret
in Oregon. What I said, that's said what you said.
You said you want to go to a Mexican restaurant

(25:22):
and eat ferret, and in Oregon that's where they have it.
That's what I took away from you the last couple
of minutes right there. You're really not listening very well today.
You want to get those new headphones checked. We'll have
more on Anthony Davis and James Harden's Night coming up
in a minute, but first it's deb Carson with what
is trending? D C. What do you have for us?
All right, guys, well, it took well into the fourth
quarter to get it done, but the street continues for

(25:42):
James Hard. James Hard knocks it down and he's got
his thirty. So the street now continuing on to four
consecutive games. That was Fox Sports radio affiliate k b
m E and the Rockets radio network. He now has
thirty seven and they rocket trail the Pelicans one nineteen,
one sixteen New Orleans with the lead six point three

(26:04):

thing or two. We are farmers under written my Farmers

And I had it. I had it pretty well. No,
I was okay, we got you don't come you got.

(28:40):
You know, any time you do an impression of somebody,
it's got to be over the top, and that you
can't just try to sound just like him, because then
it's like, okay, but it's gotta be over the topic.
If I could get actually him, it just sounds enough
like them. You know what I'm saying. Look you get
Look I covered St. John's back in eighty five. I
get just stand see but the Rob doesn't talk that slow,

(29:02):
but it sounds like more on Mike. Yeah. But if
you slow it down too much, people are gonna wonder,
is something happened to our guy Rob Parker? And they're
gonna be sending out out pouring of love if he's okay,
it doesn't live in Mexico. And when when I get
true when I did move to Mexico, When I do,
Chris pers gotta be a lot higher. Chrispers Hard's voice
is not you know you just said he was high.

(29:24):
Look I like him. Say he's coming to work high.
What are you? What do you do? What are you insinuating?
I like p J. Tuck. I don't love him, but
I like it. He does love p J Tucker. Look,
I get Lebron the Warriors are Look, I get it,
I get I get Okay, I get it. I can see.
But that's the thing he's not. His voice is not

(29:45):
that I but it sounds better when it's that. I
think we played back. It's pretty close to that rate.
You think it's more exactly. By the way. I also
just tweeted out at swollen him the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife Roadkill South Salvage perm it's and how
to apply for them. Tell me I don't know my
road kill rules. We'll do roadkill rules coming up in

(30:07):
a bit. How does kill rules? It is over in
Houston's roadkill? That's yeah, something like that. That's yeah, Although
road kill, you don't usually shoot things. It's you run something.
You may have to finish the It's not man, No,
you don't run something over going back with a gun. Guy?
Is it just me? Or does James Harden's beard looked
like roadkill? Well? Nick could hide stuff in his beard.

(30:28):
Well you ever see the episode of Family Guy? Where's
that bird in his beard? Get out of my beard?
You squawking? Do you think like roadkill is like you
drive down the road with like a game rifle and
you're and you're shooting things like off the freeway. That's
a good video Get that video game. That's how it goes, right, roadhouse. Yeah,

(30:50):
you're drive down the road, you're hunting, right, that's called
road kill. I'm shooting it. That's not how it goes No,
Bill after it is no roadkill? Is you run something over?
That's enter road kill? No, that's just but where's the
sport and that that's that's because it's not a sport. Well,
it sounds like a sport. Roadkill, road kill coming soon

(31:12):
the metro Blacks come on in if you will. It
sounds like, let's talking about Saturday Night's road Dude. Like
road kill would be a movie where it would be
a bunch of teenagers and they like run over in
the air or something, and like they go out of
their way to run it over, and then they have
to get inside the animal. No, no, no, no, this
even better. It's like it's like four of them in
a car. It's the two guys and the two girlfriends,

(31:34):
and the two girlfriends don't want the guys to do it,
but the guys are drinking, so they go, yeah, we'll
do it. And you got to impress the girlfriends, right,
so you know right away the girls are gonna make
it as long as they can in the movie, and
the guys are gonna get killed. So they run this
animal over right whatever it is. But the animal is
not a real animals, like a spirit animal and it
comes back, so it's patrol. It comes back like angry,
like a new and it hunts them down. It's just

(31:57):
like Jennifer's body. That's really kind of where we're going.
It's kind of like remember the Wraith with Charlie. She okay, okay.
So then the animal comes back, you know, re animates
and comes back as like a vengeful ghost, and it
hunts the guys down and it kills them in such
a way like a road kill way, like he's chasing
them down the road. And then you know, the kid
doesn't know what to go and and it looks like
the deer is gonna jump at him, and he jumps

(32:17):
to one side like a deer in the headlights, and
he jumps to the other side of the road thinking
he's safe, but he gets hit by a semi you know,
things like that. But then the girls making at the end,
they realize something has to happen. The oh yes, oh
you gotta write that down. The kids guy's a hood ornament.
Oh yeah, yeah, just sitting there, just eyes wide open
as he goes down. Yeah, that's good, that's good. Not

(32:39):
quite dead. That's a movie. That's a movie road kill
kill and there's no guns. There's no guns. There's there's
no guns, and they're kind of getting more of a
DreamCatcher vibe from there. There's no guns in the movie. No,
there's nobody eating. There's nobody eating raw baker. And at
the end you got a couple of guys just eating
some keen. One hanging out and the patronis or the

(33:01):
thinks road killers guys like hanging out of the window
and rifles going fast, faster, faster, and the Matt Max
guys playing the flames. Now we're now we got something
cooking because now we got the guy from Matt Max.
That's that's a move. Come on, Cornhole's a sport. I
mean there can be roadkill, right Cornhole is like way

(33:22):
down As far as we watched it, it was pretty
good America. This story is actually the preface to Jason's
next novel. But I could write road Kill. It would
be pretty cool. Road kill out of work, roadhouse. It
might work as more of like a short story, short story.
And now we're getting into like a Stephen King Kah,

(33:44):
We're gonna write a bunch of little stories. Sounds like
pet no no, but trying to copy the first one
road Kill? Can we illustrate it. Roadhouse, No, not Roadkill,
road Kill not. Roadhouse was already a movie. And kids
walked by me the other day. They were kind of menacing, yelling,
road were they? They were saying, like Peter Griffin. I
just started laughing. Did you rip one of their hearts

(34:05):
out and hold it at about? They would have step
to me? I would I was ready and then I
would have done that chance like the guy in Indiana
Jones at the Temple of Doom. You do look look
a little like Peter Griffin Roadhouse. I have been told
that before sweitter at how About a Fresh Cup? Mike
had swallen down The Jason Smith Show with my Bess
Fred Mike Harman road Kill. They were d until they

(34:30):
met the antlers of death. Roadhouse. Coming up next, we
got more on Anthony Davis. We got more on the
Super Bowl. Keep it right here. This is Fox Sports
Radio Roadhouse. Be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm
Eastern seven pm Pacific. From a hotterble landing on a
car to a load of concrete falling on one, We've

(34:52):
covered it. Talk to farmers, we know a thing or two,
because we've seen a thing or two. We are farmers
under written. My farmers took fire insurance exchanges, then affiliates
products unavailable in every state. Time for the Lakers to
trade everybody. They're down twelve two to the sixers. Why
can't they just give them away? No, you got you

(35:12):
get a Laker, and you get a Laker. Pelicans need
them all, Ingram, No, they don't. Plus a night five
straight pelver a time. Pelicans don't need anybody. They beat
the Rockets to night in Houston without Anthony Davis. They
have okrafur, they got holiday. That's all they need. They
you let Anthony Davis go for nothing, six guys and

(35:34):
double figures, and then you had Hill with nine Williams,
and I mean you had balance scoring across the board.
As they take down Chris Paul James Harden. Harden still
finishes with thirty seven. Yes, still with third key people through.
But yes, the Lakers didn't show up. I think they
were waiting for the guy in the suit. No. Uh,
down twelve two to the seventies sixers. Right now, you

(35:55):
can trade everybody, trade Rondo called well, Pope Ingram get
rid of everybody, you do it right now, trade up
right now, just bring in whoever you have sitting out.
You can throw in. Magic will come in. Play a
couple of minutes worthy, I think, and get to the
UH can give you a couple of good minutes down

(36:17):
low the only one or two up to as well
around Luke Walton will be fired at halftime they're down.
You can probably give you some good. They would give
Luke Walton choice. You can be fired or you can
play to The South Bay Sixers lead the Lakers four
teen to four. A minute day where Anthony davis speculation

(36:41):
has run rampant. We'll love more on that coming up
in about ten minutes, as this is getting to a
fever pitch and it's just so much fun to talk about.
But uh, today at the Super Bowl not quite the
media frenzy that we saw a night ago with the
opening night seeing crazy questions going out and Belichick getting
pillows with his pick, Brady getting pillows with his picture

(37:02):
on it, and crazy questions going to Gronk who's talking
about motor boating and sex positions that. But still it
doesn't mean that today was bereft of entertainment. Now some
people go to talk to the players during their question
and answer sessions and want to know about XS and os.
Some of them want to know about injuries, coaches, what
strategies are. And then some people go and want to

(37:25):
talk to coaches like Bill bella chicken well, ask questions
like this guy wants a selfie? Yeah, you know, can
I get in front of the podium and you just
wave accredited media? Now, we saw yesterday the head of

(37:49):
bar stool was able to get in on a fake
fake I d Yeah. They kicked him out, kicked him out,
kicked the p f T comment or out and kicked
him out, arrests whatever. Who who's doing to the accreditation?
Can we take that over? Anybody's getting paid money to
do that though, it's a clown show. I've I've told
you the Super Bowls've been to media Day, the questions people,

(38:10):
Oh no, I get it event a few times. But
the point is, who's rubber stamping the accreditations when you're
from a plate You got how many views that last month?
You got? Cat videos? Great cat videos? Bill? Can I
show you some cat videos? Yeah? Come on, we're not

(38:31):
far off. Look, my cat's incredible. Calicos are pretty cool. That.
You know, I'm just doing that. So you know, I
don't know if you want to get over into some
Tabby's and air check out my coregy. He's cool. Let mean,
come on. Mr Bigglesworth with no hair is kind of
a fun cat too. It's not gonna go with it.
But not multiple people asking for selfie. I just want

(38:51):
to take a selfie. I just want to take a selfie.
You want a great story. He's gonna kill me for
telling me this story. So this is about eight years ago,
all right, And you know my gig, one of my
gigs on all Night at ESPN was to to work
the red carpet and get all interviews with people the
day of the spis. It was a great thing. I
was the only one there from radio. So one time

(39:14):
my producer backed out at the last minute. Who they hied,
so they can't make it, and they said they and
my Boston you can have anybody come with you. When
he wanted said, oh, all, my wife come with me
and do it. Let her do it because she knows
all the players and she knows the entertainment people because
she's worked at E for a long time. So they said, yeah, sure,
go ahead. So my wife does it does a phenomenal job, right,
phenomenal job. All the way through. We get to the
end and one of the last people on the red

(39:35):
car people are packing up is Mary J. Blige and
she's walking because she got there late. Everything people are
packed up and I'm I'm done and I'm packed up,
and my wife said, he goes, hey, you talked to
Mary J. Blige. She just came on here and everybody said,
we packed up. I don't know what to do. I'm
not here, so I'm sorry, we can't and she's and
because every all the TV people were done too, so

(39:58):
she didn't want Mary J. Blige to field bed. So
she said, Mary, we all got a big picture, and
Mary said sure. So there's a picture of all of
us with Mary J. Blige, you know from her song
hands got your hands up, Get your hands I've got
her hands up. I was like, okay. So she got
to walk on the red carpet and take a picture
and I'm like okay. So we we finished, and I
say to my wife, all right, so just just to

(40:19):
be clear, when they asked me what happened with Mary J.
Blige at then I'm gonna say you asked her to
take a picture. That's that's where we're at. What Okay,
someone paid attention to her, right if everybody else was
packed up and she was just gonna walk through, which
is worse. Hey, let's get asked by a for a
picture and it's a big deal for that moment, you
just stroll all the way in. You get Mary j
Blige to go take a picture. I'm not taking a selfie.

(40:41):
I don't know. I don't that's all about. Yeah, I
want the person who's in charge of handing out credentials.
I want that job Twitter And how about a fresco
Mike at swollen Down The Jason Smith Show with Mike
Carmen coming up next, What's next for a d Fox.
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show Would Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern seven

(41:02):
pm Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the I Heart
Radio Whip Fox Sports Radio. Hour two of the program
The Jason Smith Show with My bas friend Mike Harmon,
As we are once again on Luke Walton Watch, which
turns into Anthony Davis Watch. Two thousand and nineteen. Do

(41:26):
you have any tracking any planes leading the planet Houston
only in Goalian college football in college But do we
do that? We don't do We don't do that. For
the plane that was chartered by Bobby Petrino is gonna
be landing in Tuscaloosa. No, no, no, that's only in
that here alright, just asking because guys are brazen when
they show up for things. Uh, like what I'm gonna

(41:48):
tell you in a second. Uh fo to go in
the first quarter, and the Sixers are just absolutely road
killing the Lakers. Hey, you got road kill back in Hey, Well,
Philadelphia has twenty seven already with four minutes ago in
the first quarter. Mike Frances how many points in the
Lakers at one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine, ten,

(42:14):
eleven twelve twelve points seven to twelve? The Lakers could
trade everybody right now in exchange, just hit a free thing.
Maybe we do that the rest of the night. When
you hear Mike Francess, what that's the point totally lakes, Well,
we only need Francess to a count to like at

(42:36):
least seventy. Well, they were playing a tricky a game.
This was going viral today. They were trying to play
some trivia game and instead of speaking through it. He
just sat there steering blank. Silence is a wonderful medium
that no one's tried in radiod. So basically everybody can

(42:57):
go from the Lakers if you're trying to get Anthony
Davis and speak you of Anthony Davis. Tonight at Staples
Center taking in the game courtside, Rich Paul Uber, agent
for Lebron James, Anthony Davis, Ben Simmons, and Kendall Jenner
with now wait a minute, now, wait a minute, now,

(43:19):
just just wait a minute. I mean you said, Kendall,
I did. I did say that you are right, but
then well she's she's not the slide over baby hour
yet you No, no, no, no no. Rich Paul is
sitting with Kendall Jenner and Kevin Hart. I don't want
nothing there, nothing there, no crazy joke, no Kevin Night.

(43:40):
I missed the taptul feet of my body. Nobody wants me. No, no, no,
I get nothing from that exposed commercialized Anthony Davis doesn't
come to the Lakers. Rich Paul is sitting courtside and
actually holding up a poster of Anthony Davis in a
Lakers uniform. So there is that part of it. Look
he's the most powerful agent in the game. And we

(44:00):
found out earlier today that Anthony Davis was fine fifty
grand Lakers. Howe uh. Look, when you represent LEBRONI the
most powerful agent back power. He's got Ben Simmons to
he's got all the big players. And when you get
fine fifty grand for going public with the trade request,

(44:22):
which is what happened to this is the big news
today coming off Anthony Davis. This is the best fifty
grand you could have possibly spent if you want Anthony
Davis out of New Orleans, because look what's happened in
the last twenty four hours. The Lakers are trying to
find a way to gut their roster to get Anthony Davis.
They got Magic Johnson tied up in a room and

(44:44):
they're giving him Sody and Pedethal to get him to
to agree to trade Lnzo back. But he was my
first draft pick. No I could trade lawn, but he
was my frit nut. The Knicks are trying to figure
out a way to say, all right, can we offer
Porzingis and then if we make the deal, will he's
still come back and play for us? Or will he
be too upset? You have, then you would be upset.

(45:05):
You have the Celtics inting there thinking going, can we
trade Jayson Tatum? Can we really trade Jayson Tatum? If
if we need, can we really make that move? In
one day? Fifty thou dollars was all it was to
get this going on, to to grease the skids for
Anthony Davis to go someplace else. Look, this is when
people say agents. This is when agents are powerful. You
look at a guy like Scott Boris, we want to

(45:27):
get into the middle of the Bryce Harper negotiations, Well,
how powerful is he when teams decide to say no,
they say no. Bryce Harper is not getting the money
he wants, so his power has been diminished. But when
you have Lebron, when you have these players, and the
NBA is a players league, you can exert your power.
And that's exactly what Rich Paul is doing saying, hey,
I'm okay, Yeah, it's out there, We're okay though we

(45:49):
like the Pelicans, everything is fine. They want tonight without
a d you standing there coaching, he was helping on
the white boards, wearing purple and guy, do you know
there was gonna be a lot of attention on you
that was a sweet laker. It was. It was very subtle,
the black script and the light the light blue Minneapolis

(46:10):
sneakers that he had that it was a great looks.
Purple streaks in his hair might have gone a little
too far, but purple eyebrow, purple eyebrow starts off purple.
It's like the many wigs purple. That's right, you know me,
I love purple. But you know, he goes back to
the Donald Sterling situation when the players exerted their first

(46:32):
power and realized, hey we we we have a little
more here and the next C B A and everybody's
already talking about that, and then there's two schools of
thought as to what Anthony Davis is doing and the
commentary and yes, the fifty dollar fine. You signed an extension,
so I I get it. Maybe you're not happy with
the direction. You think you want to win that much faster,

(46:56):
you signed an extension. This was always the big problem
in Chicago with Scottie Pippen. You decided you wanted a
seven year deal for security, and then every offseason you
complained that you were underpaid. Yes, signed for seven years,
what do you want? But it's only two more years.
It's not like it's the beginning of that. But it's
still another year to half. It's one thing if if

(47:16):
this season was over. No, it's like getting married. If
you get married and a year in you're like, we
should get divorced, Like, all right, that was a bad decision.
But if you get married and you know, five or
six years and you realize, you know what, I know
he said till death to his part, but you know,
I need an amnesty clause to get out of this marriage.
That's okay. He tried for five or six years like that, Yeah, five,

(47:37):
If it was one year, this is the end of
all right. I just gotta be careful. You haven't already
signed that big time free agent like Kyrie Irving, then
it precludes you from making the trade. Well that's like
when you bring in kids. You know you decided to
have kids. Well you know, they brought the kids, and
the kids are here for a long time. I signed.
I signed a twenty one year deal to be in
this family. They got you for one of your kids.

(48:00):
I got an I'm not getting out of here, dad,
you're screwing me. So but this is but this is
the thing, is that when the end where the NBA
is now. And this is why it doesn't matter what
you have. If you're the Lakers, and we'll have an
update on the Laker game coming up in a couple
of minutes. If you're the Lakers, if you are the Knicks,
if you are the Celtics, it does not matter the

(48:22):
assets you have. You can no longer think of the
NBA as hey, we have to get as many guys
under contract for as long as we can star players.
The NBA is not like that anymore. The NBA is
a year to year league. The star players go someplace
now for a year two years because they want to
keep their options open. Lebron did Multiler because he wants
to stay in l a for the rest of his career,

(48:43):
setting up his life after basketball. But look at all
the other guys. Look at all the other stars. One
two years here, Kevin Durant one two years, Steph Curry
one two years, Paul one two years. That's all they
want to do because they know they can get money
from anywhere and they want to be able to extricate
themselves from a bad situation on the all recap keeps rising,
so opt out cap for your team Rose. You get

(49:05):
those extra couple of million dollars, easy math, and most
teams are okay. But you think the Celtics wouldn't go
back in time and go can we get out of
the Gordon Hayward deal? Can we get out of the
seven year deal? Now? I mean that's really something that's
crushing us. Now in just a year and a half,
the NBA has gone from hey get that money long
term too. Now we're a year to year. But it's
the same begame we were just talking about in Major
League Baseball as to what you have to look after

(49:27):
your top three agents and the way they wanted to
do business. Sure they'd love a ten year, thirty five
million dollar a year deal, but those aren't exactly falling
off trees, as evidenced by the anger of Machado's representation
when the numbers from the White Sox leaked. So the
Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen Live from the Geico Studios,

(49:48):
Twitter and how about a fresca Mike and swollen dumb.
If you think about the NBA that way, it's easy
to make a deal. I should be a GM because
as GM and the NIXT, I would say, yeah, I'll
give you Porzingis and then the first and our our
first round pick could be Zion Williamson. But look, we're
getting Anthony Davis, the best big man in the game,
bar none, and that's gonna get us Kevin Durant and
or Kyrie Irving and or another good player, because everybody

(50:10):
wants to play with a d There's nobody that doesn't
want to play. Clay Thompson, who was likely to resign
with the Warriors, we heard today that he would think
about the Lakers if the Lakers got Anthony Lebron and
playing Anthony Davis. You get Anthony Davis, you will get
somebody else to come play. So it's not like, boy,
we're giving up a lot of assets. No, it just
means you're gonna spend money for another star to come in.

(50:32):
So when you think about it that way and go
year to year, it's easy to trade Porzingis. The guy's
been hurt and we're getting a better player. Can we
trade the first overall pick? Yeah, Zion Williamson could be great.
We're getting Anthony Davis and another MAX player. If you're
the Lakers, is it really hard? Is it really hard
to trade Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma
as good as Kyle Kuzman. The only it's easy to

(50:53):
trade those all the hard part is getting someone to
want them. Peach want No, people will want them but
for the late because it's quantity and and the Pelicans
don't have a choice because they know he wants to
be traded. They gotta take the best offer. So if
if you're the Lakers, are like, Okay, you want to
come here, and you like because the Pelicans, we've already
heard from many sources, are interested in dealing with the Lakers.

(51:14):
But it's so it's it's we want everything, and the
Lakers can say yes because we'll sign guys off the
street because we'll still finish second in the West with Lebron,
Anthony Davis and Smith and Harmon and Frostburg. We're in.
I look good in a basketball jersey too, gold Sorry, yeah,
I mean and and purple purple all the time. You

(51:37):
know I look good at that. But the the idea
being that if you're the Pelicans, you want to wait
and see what else materializes. Right, No, because we talked,
because we talked about Toronto and maybe wanting to pair
up with Kai because remember, he's gonna be out there.
He's another would be Lakers. That's want everybody know. Realize
that new Lakers general manager Justin Frost, they're all gone.

(52:00):
If I was GM, Anthony Davis would be in a
uniform tonight. Those guys would have all been gone two
months ago. Luke Walton would have been replaced by an
empty suit, and you would have a whole other host
of players that we'd be learning their names. Look, I
told you a year and a half ago, it's these
young players that you think are great. Aren't that great?

(52:21):
Is not great? His value has depreciated over the course
of the past few months, but that next he was
supposed to be a score. He's a sixteen and a
half a night with Lebron out seventeen games. A Lonzo
Ball is someone you can't put him on the free
throw line at the end of the game because he
can't hit a free throw. He's not a guy that's
gonna change the game. He's not gonna score twenty five
points in the game. He's a complimentary player. Kyle Kuzma

(52:43):
is the closest thing Lebron has. Do it too, and
it's awesome. They have great chemistry. And if you can
keep Kyle Kuzma, keep Kyle Kuzma. But if you have
to trade him, you trade him. Realize the Heat went
to the finals when they had four players under contract,
after they got Lebron to join Dwyane Wade and they
got Chris Bosh to come in and they went to
four straight finals. It doesn't matter who else you have.

(53:04):
You have to collect stars. It's like being the collector
in the Avengers. You collect things, you collect stars. The
more stars you collect, the better you're gonna be. The
whole team. First aspect sounds great, and it's all boil
the look you got your deep team, eight nine deep.
I'll look at the games they're winning and that scene
that goes home in the second round of the playoffs.
All the time, you collect stars. That's how you win.
When you realize that and that the NBA is a

(53:26):
two year is a two year league or one year league,
it's most so much easier to make trades. It's so
much to say, Okay, we'll move on, we'll get other people.
If Anthony Davis comes to the Lakers and he leaves
in two years, he leaves, you'll get somebody else. You're
the Lakers. You try to figure this out, say all,
let's nourished these young players. Know the Lakers front office,
I don't trust them. I don't trust them at all

(53:47):
because they still want to hold onto these guys because
they think they're great well, And I think that's part
of the big men, bigger mentality, right, is when you
have your your draft picks, you want to see grow
into greatness, and you want to be able to say
he found those guys as opposed to we went and
bought those guys something to that level. And you also,
if you're Magic Johnson and Rob Lincoln to some level,

(54:09):
you don't want to say, hey, it was Lebron James
waving his finger that made this happen and made that success.
So there's some of that wanting to have been right
and hating to see that you're proven right elsewhere. Right,
D'angela Russell doing what he's doing right now? You're telling
me there hasn't been a conversation behind the scenes, or
two you should have waited Twitter at and how about

(54:31):
a frescup Mike at Swollen. That's what the NBA is. Uh.
Quick update from Staples Center. Hey, Mike Francissa. How many
points are the Lakers losing by? Yes, Philadelphia forty one?
Lakers second quarter just underway. Sixes are on pace for
a hundred and sixty points tonight. Fantastic. Luke Walton could

(54:52):
get fired at halftime. It could happen. I should have
to the exit and Lakers justin Frostberg chiming in. We
have more on a d coming up in coming up next.
Something I never thought we'd say when it comes to
the Super Bowl, but we're gonna say it. Fox nine thirty.

(55:16):
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
Radio app. From a dog accidentally flooding a living room
to a dog taking a joy ride, we've covered it.
Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because
we've seen a thing or two. We are farmers under written.

(55:37):
My farmers took fire insurance exchanges and affiliates products unavailable
in every state. Twenty nine thirty thirty one. Now the
Lakers aren't down by that many. It feels like eight
minutes ago in the second quarter, seventy Sixers lead. The
Lakers say, nor have they scored that many? You think
Luke Walton told the all those young players you shooting,

(56:00):
miss you're getting traded. I'm not gonna do it. I'm
not gonna do it. Leads to the shooting and Bead's
got eleven. Simmons has a level. He's playing in front
of Kendall Jenner, so he's got eleven. And the Lakers
are just absolutely abysmal with everybody on the trading block. Uh.
They trail the Sixers by twenty two with eight minutes

(56:22):
to go in the second quarter. Good job, good effort.
By the time we're done with our interview with our
next guest, they could be down by forty with us
now on the hotline. He could also be the next
coach of the Lakers. You never know. Leaving the balmy
temperatures of Chicago where he went looking in vain for

(56:42):
the Harold bain statue, well you could have found Harold
baying in Baines in Cooperstown this afternoon. How about that?
Live from Atlanta from the site of Super fifty three,
longtime NFL Insider editor in chief at fansided dot com,
It's Jason Cole j Cole. What's happening, beautiful guys? What's
going on with you? How are you? What's the weather like?

(57:03):
They're for you right now? It's actually like eight degrees
in um Atlanta. But that's forty degrees higher than it's
going to be tomorrow in Chicago. It's true. It's gonna
be everything down. It's gonna be colder in Chicago than
it's going to be in Antarctica tomorrow. Is that actually true? No,

(57:27):
that's true. Yeah, shut down. I saw it on the
internet today. I saw it on the internet report it's
gonna be colder tomorrow in Chicago that's going to be
in Antarctica. Uh well, thank god, I'm not there. My actually,
my stepdaughter is being forced to go to her work tomorrow,

(57:51):
um decide, because they're expecting that customers are actually going
to show up. And I'm like, you're kidding, Like, who's
who in your company? Is that stupid? I'm not gonna
name the company? Wait wait wait? Is she? Is she
working the Harold Baines Chotsky Uh? Display in Chicago's that
what she's doing? I can't name the employer. Why does

(58:17):
Smith hate me? Hey, Jason? Why the Harold Bates, the
Harold bats Key chain. I'd get one of those and
beer can openers. Actually, actually the Harold Baden's bobblehead. Yeah,
it's a big sellar. It's a it's it's such a
it's such a research and that's it. I'm gonna find

(58:38):
and send you one from the Appleton Foxes to take
that boxes that are in storage that the words selling.
I'll see you in Hell. He's at the super Bowl
and he having more fun. He's more fun making fund
of Harold. You see, is there is there little buzzz

(59:00):
at the super Bowl that this is the best time
you've had tonight making fun. He's not even listening. Card
is worth like five dollars, now, whoa, Well, there's a
minor league set that's worth about two hundred but one
tops were overproduced, any one tops were overproduced. Even the
Tim Rains is worthless. Okay. What I was thinking about

(59:23):
when we were coming into I don't know, you brought
up rookie card values. I could do this all day.
So is when is there really that little buzz super
Bowl that this is the best part of your day
talking about Harold Bays Rookie cards really was no personality
to this game, like because the Rams are like I

(59:45):
think the I think they sent Marcus Peters to like
a different city to trade with. Marcus Peterson told that
this game is actually being played in Charlotte. Look a
look at a month st Thurday night. We made a mistake.
Come on down now. That's the only challenge for the

(01:00:09):
rest of your story that came out of any of
the players was that Dominican Sue could have been a
gent That's it. That's the headline. Look, I think what
I think what I said Friday night, the Rams did
media night. They told, uh, Marcus Peters, listen, you're gonna
go up really high in the stands, and that's you're

(01:00:29):
gonna talk to reporters. And they sent fake reporters up
who didn't have any any kind of devices. So he
gave all his crazy walks where they hanged the speakers
from the top of the State Farm. It was like, uh,
nobody can talk to me up here. And the people
went up and the people that asked some questions were
actually just fake reporters that the Rams hired. So any

(01:00:51):
crazy thing he said, they could just blow off and
there's no evidence of it. They hired like ten guys
who were all at least six foot cannon surrounded him
so that nobody could see that market Peters was around
like this is giant circles, really taller even beings that
everybody's like jumping up and who is that that they're
talking to? And everybody like just gave up after a while.

(01:01:13):
That's what they did. I can't fall to a good strategy,
but I have to ask, why haven't you a forwarded
us the selfie you took with Belichick? Yet? Um, that's
that's a private collectible. Okay, who was it? Who was
the report of that effect that to be worth more
than the Bain's rookie cards. I'm sure it will be.
Do you know what was it was a reporter that

(01:01:33):
asked Belichick to take a selfie with him? Today, I
have no idea who that was. Like, there are certain
the indignities of our business that we have to suffer
during this week, the clown show that is this week.
Oh my god, But I mean, like, what are you
what's left to ask Belichick at this point? Like what

(01:01:54):
are you going to ask? Like take a selfie with him?
That's what it was? You got a self right, like
that's that's all you have, Like, well, it's because uh
ask him to talk about Johnny Hecker again. He loves
Johnny Hacker. Oh god, is he's so in love with this.
He's so you asked him a question about my netia
and it's like, oh, let me do a dissertation. Like

(01:02:14):
it's he loves that stuff because it's just a way
to filibuster the entire interview. He goes on for like
a like four minutes of talking about, yeah, when you
read the double tight end set or you do split backs,
we do the usual all out blitz against the split
backs occupied and he just loves that. He just he
digs that so much. He's listening right now, going, you

(01:02:37):
know on all out blitz with split backs. I don't
know what Jason Cole is talking about. You know, that's
what that's one of the things that the Rams are
actually concerned about. But yeah, they go split back and
you know, that's all out blitz, and they don't want
to run that ray much because they don't want to
bring the explitz. And that's that's what they did. Worried
about Farra Gamo and Jack young Blood and he's got you,
Billy water. No, no, no, Jeff Fisher is not coaching

(01:02:57):
in this game. We wady every forty years we get
a good Billy's I was seven teen years old. I
thought that spar was actually gonna be good suckers. That's

(01:03:21):
the desperation of being a Rams fan in the seventies.
You thought you had a glimpse like Tara Commo's the answer.
He's finally the answer. I don't. I don't have to
watch John Haydel or Patent Hayten anymore. God, this is awesome.
Well you had that, and you had heaven can wait.
I mean, that was the heyday for the ring Warren
Baby was better than any quarterback extep four Um, James Harris.

(01:03:47):
See if you know, if you had quarterbacks warming up
with butlers on a on an estate, maybe these guys
have been better over the past forty years. That's coming
from you and the Jets were I'm waiting for the
are waiting for the return of Dieter Brock. Oh nice
number five. Brock somehow inspired Deeter's dance party. Oh I didn't.

(01:04:10):
It's what we did. Who Jason kill us mc face
should be Brockets. You see the new host of Sprockets
because he's got that sort of like permanent five o'clock
shadow that would work, would be so great on a
German dance party. That's my monkey. I love him. Am

(01:04:32):
I gonna get eight hundred words on that on fan
side of tomorrow? Right now Kevin dem Off would come in?
Is it? Guess party? Because not not where I thought
this interview was gonna go. I mean there's many places
it could have gone. This is not where I thought
it was gonna go. Nobody knows who's Kevin dem Off is.

(01:04:54):
But I'm just like the president of the team. Could
you value now we have? We have Kevin dem On,
the president of the ramp, being a guest on Sprockets.
Let's be great. This is the best ten minutes of
your week, isn't it? When you're on with us? I
love just so this launches him straight into the media party.

(01:05:19):
Oh you ready for glazer Blues at tomorrow parties tomorrow night. Yeah,
That's what I'm gonna be doing. Um let's yeah. So anyways,
what else do you guys wanted out? Oh? Are you
gonna be singing with Maroon five or or doing a
press conference? Because you know they allowed to talk this week. Well, again,

(01:05:44):
there are certain things that have been kept secret by
the NFL, so I can't really comment on that. But
you know, somebody has to defend the defend the artistic
principles um of Maroon five. I would like a thousand
words on the real true meaning of moves like Jagger

(01:06:05):
tomorrow from you. All right, let's let's finish here, since
you are in Atlanta for the Super Bowl US and
this is the last time we're to get to talk
before Sunday, most likely unless I call you like really
late at night when I'm drunk, or you call me
really late at night when you're drunk, which is which
is more likely from from a piano bar. This is
like the This is like the third anniversary of of

(01:06:26):
you being accosted man. No, no, this is like the
third anniversary of Jason Cole being hammered at a piano
bar and calling into the show and the woman with
the cigarette, yes, trying to burn him. He's not even listening.
He's having fun now, he's thinking about hanging out at

(01:06:47):
the piano bar. He's done all right, real quick? How
does who do you like? On Sunday? Ramps by three?
I think that they um, they give Brady all sorts
of problems because Sue plays out of his mind realizing
this is like the big opportunity for him to sort

(01:07:09):
of correct the pathway of his career. And McDonald is awesome.
Brockers is a good third wheel in that in that
pass rush, and then Fouler does some clean up. They
get after those guys, They get after Brady with four
guys do a pretty nice number against a really good,
you know, really effective Patriots offensive line at this point.
But I do I do like the rams, I like

(01:07:30):
the upset on this one. And do you like Jeff
Fisher making a difference big play calling in the fourth quarter?
I do? I think that Jeff Fisher um like, they
open the roof? Can they actually do that? At We're City?
They open the roof and he um, he does like
some kind of paratrooper move and comes in through the
roof in the fourth quarter and takes over the headset

(01:07:51):
from Sean mcveighaus, I'll finish this kid, and something like that. Wow,
spoiler alert, I'd like to be surprised by that. Now
that's not happening. Does he squirrel suit in because he's
got enough wind resistance with the mustache to help him out.
That's a good question. This could be a part of
the Act three of road Kill. You can follow him

(01:08:12):
on Twitter at Jason Cole sixty two. That is, at
Jason Cole sixty two Squirrel. Maybe we'll hear from again
later on tonight from a piano. You know what Belichick is? Boris,
isn't it? Yeah, Yes, that's right, he would be Boris. Goodbye,
um Gronkowski, that's perfect alright. The next light money and

(01:08:39):
is It's the best ten minutes of his way. It's fantastic.
That's our guy. Twitter, and how about a Fresca Mike
gets swollen dome coming up in one minute. We got
more from Super Ball fifty three, but first, Deaf Carson
has what's trending? Dc Hey Jent's Lakers were down by
trim the deficit to just eight on a sixteen oh run.
The deficit now though, back up to the team Philly

(01:09:01):
with a sixty to forty seven lead over the Lakers
with a minute to go in the second quarter. Spurs
beat the Suns one four on a Rudy Gay jumper
at the buzzer. Pelicans top the Rockets one one sixteen.
New Orleans got it done without Anthony Davis, and the
street continued for James Harden. In the loss, he at
thirty seven points, so he now has twenty four straight

(01:09:21):
thirty plus point games. Cavaliers beat the Wizards one sixteen
thunder one, their sixth in a row. They beat the
Magic in Orlando one six one seventeen. Online car shopping
can be confusing, not anymore. With True Price from True Car.
Now you can know the exact price will pay for
your next car, but the True Car to enjoy a
more confident car buying experience. Top ten Hoops top rank

Diamondbacks have given a manager at tor Volo a two

Nevada State Athletic Commission released its penalties to Cabed Normaga,
met Off and Connor McGregor for that melee stemming from
their fight last year at UFC to Cabbe receiving a
nine month suspension and a five hundred thousand dollar fine
for going into the stands. Connor McGregor is six month

(01:10:25):
suspension and a fifty thou dollar fine. We're gonna be
back with the Jason Smith Show in ten seconds. But
first toward from farmers. From a hot air balloon landing
on a car to a load of concrete falling on one,
we've covered it, talked to farmers. We know a thing
or two because we've seen a thing or two. We
are farmers. Under written my Farmers Truck Fire Insurance Exchange

(01:10:46):
then affiliates products unavailable in every state. Jason Smith, Mike Harmon,
back to you guys. Thank you, d C Live from
the Getic Studios. I'm Jason, He's Mike, and thanks to
Jason Cole for joining our fall me Atlanta. Temperature is
twenty degrees. He's giddy Chicago. He's happier in the hell
and he I mean yeah, he's basically in Hawaii compared

(01:11:06):
to where you are in Chicago. I mean really, I
read today CNN reported that it's going to be colder
in Chicago than it Isn't Antarctica, Antarctica Antarctic. It's easy
to say Antarctica. Not in the Antarctic. That's not a thing.
It's either the Arctic or Antarctica. It's right. There's Dina,
there's Pasadena, there's Alta Dina. I'm just picturing tomorrow in Chicago.

(01:11:30):
Like the thing with Kurt Russell, they're all the bit
science fantastic, and at the end when they're just looking
at each other, waiting, drinking in the and it's just cold. Look,
I I spent a lot of winters growing up there
that were cold and miserable. But what they're forecasting tomorrow,
I mean they're shutting down college campuses, Northwestern shut down

(01:11:52):
from early today through Thursday afternoon. You've got amtracks stopped running,
you've got not a central services, a mandated shutdown. Just
stay you know, here's how we have to keep the
railways and the elves ready to go back into action,
but we're not going to run them over the Wednesday

(01:12:13):
into Thursday. So a lot of commerce, millions upon millions
of dollars of productivity being lost. And what do I
always say, Oh, what what what's worth extreme cold or
extreme heat? I'll tell you after the next couple of days.
Everybody go through it, and you tell me if you'd
rather be really hot or if you'd rather be really
just wait for the blackouts? Sound really hot or really
we're gonna get the really hot out here and the

(01:12:35):
zombies or more people. Remember how you've been predicting that
is I mean, you know that that's just a matter
of time. If if I will say this, if the
zombie apocalypse happens, I would rather be in the cold
because the zombies wouldn't be able to move. The question TV.
The zombies don't move that well in this snook. That's
the question though, And they freeze and they don't move
as much. But are they the fast zombies that Brad

(01:13:00):
Pitt movie? So we're coming at a faster rate of speed. Yeah,
but here's the thing that are we talking about the
classic zombie that lumbers along. Let's say they are fast zombies,
they will still be slower in the cold. Everything gets
slowed down. I mean, slow zombies are gonna be slow
no matter where you are. But yeah, I could get
back to that movie. His gun and he can protect

(01:13:24):
us there but you tell me go through these days
and tell me, boy, I'd rather be hot. Here's the
thing I was on my long arduous journey in tonight
dashboard said sixties six degrees. I'm always stunned when I
see the NFL go back to a place for the
super Bowl that I can't believe they go back to.
And I can't attempting fate. I can't believe they go

(01:13:46):
back to Atlanta because so you're going back because you're
also making people think about ray Lewis. But I remember, well, yeah,
twenty years but I was at the super Bowl in
and it was miserable there because it was cold. It
was freezing rain. People think, oh, Atlanta, it's gonna be No,
it's cold, freezing rain. So it was miserable to be outside.

(01:14:07):
That a big homeless problem at the time, and you know,
they couldn't find a place to put homeless people in
shelters for at least give them give him a week
to you know, hey it, We'll get you off the
street a little bit, get you someplace warm. And it's
hard because people want to go to the super Bowl
and feel like they're on vacation. They're going to you know,
they go for the game, but they want to be
able to do things. And you couldn't go to that

(01:14:27):
Super Bowl and feel like, oh, this is fun. Because
you're within a walking distance of place, it's like it's freezing.
You can't walk here. You can't walk here, you can't
walk here. You want to feel like you're on vacation.
Anytime you go someplace where it's cold, doesn't feel like
you're on vacation. Where When do you ever see people
say going on vacation, can't wait and they go someplace
where it's called where are you going? It's mid February.
I'm going to Alaska Holidays. Is different than going on vacation. No,

(01:14:54):
it's still the same. It takes me something warm, tropical.
It's gonna be great vacation in Detroit. I was gonna say,
I know a guy that vacations. I have no choice
in the matter. She could say, Pam, I'm not going,
and I think it's I think it's time that can
I that's not happening to give you one of Maddie's beds.

(01:15:14):
Not going back to see your family? What do you great? Wait,
what do you mean to come here? What do you
mean it's war. She but wow, you said you were
never going to complain again? Did I? It's like the
eighth time tonight. That was not complaining. Really cough, bloody
you cheap Now you were complaining that was in order,
that was getting you out of a bad situation. I

(01:15:37):
was looking out for your mental and physical well being.
But were you really like I think I was? Wasn't I?
I mean, that was all truistic, That was pure. That
was teammate coming to your defense, Pam, you're fake news.
You're even faker news because you're faker because you're agreeing
with a with a false point and you're making even worse.

(01:15:58):
You're upset because you won't sponsor my roadkill league. Harmon's
lying and you're agreeing with him. That fas fake news.
Twitter at, how about a frescup? Mike at swollen fake news?
The Jason Smith Show with My best Friend Real News
Mike Harmon coming up next, another night for James Harden.
Did he get to thirty? What did you get? There?

(01:16:22):
Is Chris Paul slowing him down? And do the Pelicans
really need Anthony Davis? The answer that last one is
apparently not. We get into it next on Fox be
sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show
with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.
From a hot air balloon landing on a car to

(01:16:42):
a load of concrete falling on one, we've covered it.
Talk to farmers. We know a thing or two because
we've seen a thing or two. We are farmers under
written my Farmers truck Fire Insurance exchanges and that affiliates
products unavailable in every state. Brandon Ingram has twenty two
points in twenty one minutes. In the first half of
the Lake Show it up, He's saying, Hey, ricks Paul,
look at me, Look at me? Floating my name? Is

(01:17:05):
he trying to play his way out of town? Or
is he trying to play his way into staying in town? Hey,
Kuzma's hurt. Look at me. It could go either way.
Look and I could still get it done. Do you
want to get rid of me? Look at this? Look
what I'm doing. Why'll they get a load of me?
Halftime at Staples Center, in front of Rich Paul, the
phrase I didn't think I'd say. A couple of days ago,
Sixers lead the Lakers sixty four to fifty three. The

(01:17:27):
Lakers were down by like thirty and they've cut it
to eleven at halftime. And finally, brandon Ingram, Hey, I
got twenty two points and I can still be a
good player. This is what it takes to motivate brandon
Ingram doesn't realize that this is what it takes to
motivated guy who has not been living up to expectation
for his career. But we've heard more from Rich Paul
in the last I don't know pick it to any

(01:17:50):
time frame than the commissioner. Yeah, I got that. Hey, Ernie, Uh,
the great old Pineer as he's known on Twitter. Uh.
Chiming in on our conversation with Jason Cole earlier in
the hour, Uh, Alex and and Justin feel free to
chime in. Who was more off the tracks, Jason Smith
last night with the dog videos or Jason Cole in

(01:18:10):
that last segment. Oh, Jason Cole, Yeah, I mean the
dog stuff made sense for us. Another guy, right, said
Roger Piano Man zombies Man the new cleaning up knowing
the Patriots and make the for the MORINGUS Super Bowls. Ever, yeah,
they already have the Rams plays. What more do Belichick
text with Sean McVeigh. He's got the banner, get the tattoo.

(01:18:33):
We've seen this before. He's got Sean mcveigh's phone, cloned
all three of them, and he's got everything. You saw
that FaceTime glitch, right, Yeah, that's what it. Do You
think that was all engineering? You gotta implicate the Russians too,
been doing that for years. Let's spire just gonna call
him at midnight. Apple shares up three percent and post

(01:18:54):
post earnings. Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with
my big is friend Mike Harmens. So we'll keep you updated.
If Fluke Walton gets fired, we'll keep you updated. If
you Anthony David, we'll keep you up to he rallied
them in the second quarter. Keep you updated on the
Sixers Lakers game again. Sixers up by eleven and a
half time. Meanwhile, earlier tonight, it took a while, but

(01:19:15):
James Harden got to thirty points for the twenty fourth
consecutive game. He goes for thirty seven in thirty nine minutes,
but Houston fall to New Orleans, who played without Anthony Davis,
who sat out because of trade. He sat out because
of an injury. So apparently the Pelicans don't need him

(01:19:36):
train and elbow reaching for his wallet to pay. We're
better off. We we traded Boogie. Now we're better off
without Anthony Davis. We don't need him. We got Drew
Holiday and we got Julia Local fs gonna go for
twenty five and twelve every night like he did the
night like a boss. Five straight games with at least seventeen.
But it was about James Harden needing this to get

(01:19:57):
to thirty Rockets Radio Network on the call. He entered
the fourth quarter with twenty and Chris Paul was doing
a hell of a job keeping him down. I mean, look,
it took Chris Paul a game to get into shape.
Coming back on Sunday, Harden went for forty, Paul a
little bit more in shape. Tonight Harden goes for just
thirty seven twenty through three quarters. So Chris Paul got
tired in trying to slow James Harden in his shot

(01:20:19):
selection down nine nine assists for Chris Paul today, only
nine shot attempts. It was it was really free. Suddenly
he was now feeling to go, Yeah, I'm gonna shoot
the ball seventeen time, nineteen and eleven for him Tonight
Gordon was six of fourteen from the field. Uh. P J.
Tucker three of twelve. I mean they all did it
what they could. Just slow the efforts. But you don't

(01:20:41):
want down the stretch. He said, I'll take it on myself.
And you know what, he almost accidentally won the game
while he was at He's like dark Phoenix. You know,
we don't know is the power is going to be
good or bad? Maybe fighting us, just like he's fighting
the bad. Look at goodhothing, look pretty good. I see

Stewart tied to the X Men. Yeah, it's very hard, yea,

Jason Smith Show with Mike Herman. I'm just gonna walk
in and do it like I'm Mrs mazonally's gonna walk
into stand up wherever I walk now. But if the
opportunity presents itself, your child challenged you. Hi, everybody here
in the passport office, but tell you you got a
captive audience who wants to go to Alaska. But tell
you it's warmer than in Chicago. Oh wait, who's getting
a passport to go to Chicago? Oh? Funny, funny. I

(01:25:07):
don't know if you know this thing, this geography thing, Illinois.
That's part of the joke. That's part of the joke. Yeah,
but someone in that office might be got weight. I
need one to go. I've been going. I've been going
for years without need a lot more than that to
get to Chicago this week. You need uh, you need
blowtorches like that guy last week and flamethrow get the office.

(01:25:32):
It's gonna be colder in Chicago tomorrow than Antarctic. Yeah,
that's how cold it's gonna be. Notes of love and
support to all my friends and family, also with me
selfie uh epiter everywhere. You've got the waves behind me
and the dolphins I wanted. If you look closely, you
see the dolphins I wanted to do. I want I

(01:25:53):
wanted to put out a chif today, but I couldn't
find it. Of here's swollen Dome, you know, Mike, being
from Chicago, Here's swollen Dome running through the streets of
Chicago currently. And I wanted the Jeff of Nicholson from
the shining at the end, when he's running through the snow.
What the hell's it, Jeff? You know it's I don't

(01:26:14):
know if you were talking about Jiffy like on your sandwich, Well,
you know what he does. He looks like a guy
that would take down some peanut butter. Oh you did
say you want him just running through the snow, it
would be you. But I couldn't find it. I mean,
there's the there's the big wheels, there's the river of blood.
But that wasn't my point, you know, It's it's the
whole thing of of of him running when the in

(01:26:34):
the in the snow. I'm working on it, all right,
very good. If not, I'll create one. I mean, they've
got the one where he's just standing there all frozen.
That's not no. No, I need you running through the streets,
and I need you, you know, running with the axe
in his hand. Say we can recreate that if you need.
That's a that's a bit of a downer of an
end that you know, Oh he's chasing, he's chasing, and
he just oh, he freezes to death and everybody's safe.

(01:26:59):
He had a good run, all right, that's it. I mean,
how menacing he is throughout the entire Movie's got an axe,
and here's Johnny and all that stuff, and there's twins
and there's big wheels. It's so scary and then he's ready.
I'm just just gonna starts cold. I'm just gonna sit
here and freeze. It's really Anna clema. I think there's

(01:27:21):
something to terrifying. It's a horror movie. It's all well,
I think guy's not gonna catch us. Why. I look
how cold it is that he's he's only in a
sweater in his eye's gonna free Aye, he's done. He
decided to become part of the scenery. Well, you take
someone like that, who is that? You know? Motivated evil
in a movie would find a way to fight. Jason
Voorhees would fight through the cold to get there with

(01:27:42):
a machete. Michael Myers would find a way to fight
through a machete. I think Michael Myers is on one
of our TV's potentially. Oh we're gonna get Michael Morsonal.
Oh nice, I like that fat bastard. I'm just goldmember.
Which one be? My baby? My baby, my baby bag

may stop at McDonald's though, because the new Grand Mac
is coming back soon. I don't know if did you
see all their the ads, you know about adding bacon everything. Yeah,
but McDonald's bacon is not that great. No, it's not
that great. Stay away, Stay away because the bacon is

(01:28:50):
very mealy. It's like they're not even cook it. No,
but you get the Grand Mac and that's the best burger,
best fast food burger ever. It's like, no, trust me,
it's like a quarter pounded with cheese, except you're getting
the big Mac version of it. It's absolutely fantastic. That's
the plant based one, the Grand No, no, no, that's
the impossible burger. That's warm by that one too. Yeah,

(01:29:10):
but now the Grand Mac is back. So I mean,
I take up your mind. I could have both. I
don't have Richard of the mac and I know I
don't like the mac ribb. No, you don't like it,
you love it? No, I don't. I haven't had a
mac rib animal that produces the mac ribs. I'm microwaved
one this morning. It's a mic rib, not a mac rib.

(01:29:30):
This is not coming to America. Turn off the macrib. Listen.
I brought in the mic rib for you. Tried it,
I would agree toly consume the rest. Tighter wouldn't try it.
A frostburg, wouldn't try it. Eat poison. That's to seventy
nine down the drain. Don't don't don't drink for two

(01:29:52):
and a half years, and you give me a mcrib's
two bites. If you're gonna go out, you go out
with a man, Wait, wait, wait, do you really think
you're eating meat? I mean really, I mean, it's more
playing than a mac rib that's just as a man's tonight.

(01:30:13):
Right now, John Amos is listening, going, that's what I'm saying,
That's what I'm yeah, mac rib MacDowell's the Lakers eating
mac ribs tonight. But we were talking about Chicago and
it worked. It's a twelve point game midway through the third.
We're not on in Chicago. Who cares Philly are w
c KG Chicago? I take that back, I love Chicago.
Philadelphia five point nine w c KG Philadelphia leads the

(01:30:36):
Lakers by twelve six minutes to go in the third.
And it took big time trade rumors potentially seeing Brandon
Ingram go out of town to have him play the
way he is playing tonight, having the time of his life.
Ingram has twenty eight points in twenty seven minutes, thirteen
out of sixteen from the floor. It's a great night

(01:30:59):
for him. But this is what it took to get
him to this this point. I mean, this is what
I mean when people say Brandon Ingram so great, he's
so great. This is what it took to get him
to play like this, playing possess, playing like a guy
taking advantage of all the physical abilities that he has.
This is a bad Laker team right now without Lebron
and it's very, very difficult. No Kuzma playing tonight either,
and it's still he's able to single handedly keep them

(01:31:21):
in this game with twenty eight points. This is what
it's taken to get brandon Ingram to this point. Oh
I really could be traded. Things are up. I don't
want to get traded now I'm playing like this alright,
realize that that's what it took to get brandon Ingram
to play like this. Does this mean he's gonna play
this all the time. No, He'll do it for a
couple of games and go back to the guy. He
was just gonna float through games and score sixteen and sixteen,
five and four guy, which there's a thousand of them

(01:31:43):
in the NBA, stands the deal. Standing over the top
of guys after dunks, really getting chesty tonight, getting a
lot of run Now on social media, go where's this
guy been? I mean, they're still losing by nine, but
where's this guy been? It doesn't matter. Look, this is
this is the reality for the Lakers when it comes
to what do you want to give up for Anthony Davis,

(01:32:04):
who we find out today Anthony Davis and his agent
Rich Paul, Rich Paul, who's watching the game right now
courtside with Kendall jenner Um because she's dating Ben Simmons.
He's got Ben Simmons is a client. Now, stop spreading
false romers. Stop false romers. You did, you did? You did?
Put them on the side. She'll be dating Brandon Ingram
if he keeps this up, having him have himself a

(01:32:25):
night our way to Fry Festival, but Fire whatever they call,
not Fry. So you're talking about the finals, like Channing Fry,
I don't know the Channing Frying music Festival. What are
You'd be pretty good playing the league for a long time.
But she's got a lot of guys he's met along
the way. Channing Fry is somebody who you could someone

(01:32:47):
can tune into a playoff game of a first round
matchup series like a two seven or a three six,
and you would say, Hey, it's Channing Fry playing on
one of these teams. You would go, yeah, yeah, I
think so, yeah. Him and Wilson Chandler. He's actually playing
to night, I can say, yeah, I get Channing Fries
still playing. We'll still be answering Nick legend, is it, y'all? Yeah?

(01:33:10):
Come on, nobody came off the bench and didn't hit
threes like him when he was a Nick. It was
a lot to do. But this is the whole thing
for the Lakers and trying to get Anthony Davis, because
now we've heard the last twenty four hours, they really
want to get to the front and be the aggressors
in this bidding for Anthony Davis. The Pelicans said today,
we're not in a rush. We won't trade Anthony Davis

(01:33:30):
by the deadline unless we get overwhelmed with a deal. Well,
you know what, it's time to overwhelm the Pelicans with
a deal because if you wait like the Lakers, you
think they would have learned their lesson with Paul George. No,
we're not going to trade any of our young core
players for Paul George because he's just gonna walk through
our door a year and a half. And I told
you when that happened, this is not something you're giving
him a chance to not come to the team. And

(01:33:50):
what happened he decided to stay in Oklahoma City because
Magic Johnson thinks that Ingram and Kuzma and Lonzo Ball
and and they're all like the cornerstones of a champ
and Chip team, and it turned out they're not. So
now here they are again and they realize if we
want to wait, oh Ad, he just wants to come.
Here's gonna only gonna sign long term with us. Paul
George was only gonna sign long term with you. But

(01:34:11):
if the Nicks make a trade for Anthony Davis and
suddenly he's in New York and Kyrie Irving shows up,
Anthony Davis is gonna sign. I'll play two more years. Here,
I'll play two more years. The Lakers have to do it,
and they gotta do it now. I would make the
trade after tonight. Here's Brandon What do you want? Brandon
Ingram and what else? A Lonzo Ball and Brandon Ingram
and what else? What else do you want? This is
the best we've seen Brandon Ingram play, when he could

(01:34:32):
take over a game the way he's at. His stock
has never been higher than it is at this moment
in time. Tonight, it was really low because we had
depreciating value because he didn't take that next step this year.
But right now, Rich Paul, everybody's watching this game. He
has got twenty eight points and twenty eight minutes. This
is when you trade him. You say, okay, this is it.
Now we make that move, and we call the Pelicans

(01:34:54):
after this game and say, okay, ingram alonzo zoobots, what
else you a first round pick? And what what? What
is he not box? Yeah? But is he gonna give
a blood oath that he's gonna give you this kind
of effort every night? It doesn't matter, he's doing it tonight. Yeah,
here it is problem. No, But that's the point trying
to sell them. Hey, this is the guy you're gonna get.
This is no Absolutely, you go in and sell the

(01:35:16):
hell out of it. If you can only take you
show him whatever what happened to the rest of everything
else got burned by Roger Goodell? Oh nice? I like that.
I like that's all right. I took the opportunity to
splay once in a while. This is it. I mean,
this is where you have to realize you can't be
partial to your players. If you drafted him and Magic Johnson.

(01:35:39):
The reason he hasn't traded any of these guys is
because well, they're his guys we drafted. But you can't.
You can't do that just because there's a guy that
you drafted. You can easily spin this into saying, hey,
we did such a good job accumulating young talent. We
turned that into Anthony Davis. It's an easy way to
spend it. But Magic thinks, you know, it's the old
ways of the NBA, where we're gonna draft guys and

(01:36:01):
they're gonna mature by year four. That's not how things
are done anymore. The NBA is a year to year league.
Stars signed for one year, two years. They want to
keep their options open before they go someplace else. No
one signs for seven, eight, nine, twelve. They just don't
do that anymore. All the best players want to do this.
They want to keep their options open. Treat the league
that way. Yeah, you drafted guys. It doesn't work. It

(01:36:23):
doesn't work. No one's gonna be met at Magic Johnson
for trading ones up ball and trading Brandon Ingram. If
you're gonna bring in Anthony Davis, nobody's gonna care. Have
the guts, suck it up and make the deal. You
made the move to bring in Lebron James, whether he
chose you, you had anything other than putting paper in
front of him. He came to Los Angeles and the

(01:36:43):
four year deal. I said it at the at the front.
There was no rope adope year. There's no Hey, let's
build this thing and let's win year two, year three. No,
it was a win now. And he was quasi patient
for half a year. You know what, the bell rang,
it's time to go to work. Maybe Rich Paul is
actually calling the Alikans now saying, hey, you guys watching
this game. Hey wait, let me let me get on FaceTime.

(01:37:03):
Look at Brandon and I'm looking at me, going right
by me. Look how good he is? Uh, hey, let's
make that deal for a D. Is that Kendall next there? Yeah, Kendall,
do me a favorite. Look we're trying to trade. He's
really just texting her, will you? Will you just say
hi to h Pelicans ownership? Here you go, great, thank
you very much. Uh, this is the night for Brandon Ingram,
who now is at thirty with three minutes to go

(01:37:24):
in the third quarter. Trade him, trade him now, we'll
love more in the A D situation coming up in
fifteen minutes, including who should really be charged for tampering?
After today, but coming up next, I'll give you a
bull prediction about where Bryce Harper and Manny Machadow we're
gonna end up. And here's ain't gonna be with the Phillies.
Like everybody said today, it's coming up next, Fox Turn

seventy seven late in the third quarter, brandon Ingram with
thirty points for the Lakers, and uh, that's really been
it for Los Angeles. So either brandon Ingram really wants
to stay or he really wants out. I'm not sure

(01:38:54):
will he stay or will he go? Let's play the game.
Is this all an audition? But but who's the auditioning for?
Please keep me, Please keep me? Look, I'm available. Cusma

game coming up in a bit and in a few minutes.
What Greg Popovich said following the Spurs win tonight, it
proves the guy, I mean sometimes just looks for ways
to be upset and get mad at things. He sometimes
you gotta be dramatic to make a point. But yeah,

(01:39:39):
well whatever, But let's talk about something that we thought
was gonna happen earlier today and it didn't. Right when
I woke up today, Bryce Harper and Phillies was trending
everwhere I said, oh my god, he's going to the Phillies.
Oh not really. A video game tweeted out, keep an
eye on this feed for tomorrow and it's a picture

(01:40:02):
of black you know, think. Okay, we got an announcement
from Bryce Harper. There was a there was an announcement
from a from an account on Twitter that said there
was a Vegas account that said Bryce Harper was signing
with the Phillies and all Bryce Harper prop bets were
off the board in Vegas. Meanwhile, there's no Bryce Harper
prop bets on the board in Vegas, and people went

(01:40:23):
crazy with these reports at all. Bryce Harper is gonna
be a Philadelphia Philly. He's agreed with deal. Finally, John Aman,
longtime baseball insider and fan reg said, yeah, Phillies are
in on Bryce Harper. But reports of it of a
deal today are ludicrous. And so we finished today where
he began, where Bryce Harper still apparently has a good
offer on the table from Philadelphia, but he is still

(01:40:45):
a free agent. Now I'm gonna go bold and I'll
tell you where Machado and Bryce Harper are gonna wind up.
All right, let's go. And now we hear all the
time there's a mystery team that's involved. Mystery team that's involved,
which is always just a agent way of trying to
invent someone to negotiate against. But where will they end
up signing? They will each end up with teams that

(01:41:07):
they have not been linked to so far right, because
what do we know from a childlod The only team
that are from a deal is the White Sox. Yeah,
and that was rewardedly a hundred seventy five millions less
than what his his more value. There was a quibbling
and like they tried to go, I know it wasn't
for that many years, like, but we're saying the dollar
amounts sound And they were mad that that got out.
And that came out from Buster only and Bob nightingales

(01:41:31):
to two guys who have as many years and skin
is the game in the game as any guys working
a beat for Bryce Harper. The only teams he's been
connected to are the Phillies and the Nationals because he
talked to them because nobody else was offering the big deals,
and he had the thirty thirty year ten the third

(01:41:51):
three three hundred million dollar ten year deal on the
table at the end of the season. Here's my bold
prediction for you. They're gonna wind up with teams we
have not seen them linked to why it's thirteen days
still spring training. If Manny Machado really wanted to be
a White Sock, he would have signed. If Bryce Harper
really wanted to be a Philly, he would have signed

(01:42:11):
because the money is supposedly there from Philadelphia. If he
wanted to be at Washington National, he would have signed.
But look at what's going on. Neither of them have
gotten the contract offers they've wanted. Their representation is embarrassed.
Scott Boris especially, I'm getting a three and a million
dollar deal from Bryce Harper. He is embarrassed. So I'll
tell you what's happening right now behind closed doors is

(01:42:32):
representation for both of these guys. Boris for Harper, Machado.
They're now going to other teams saying, hey, we're open
to a shorter deal, still the big money, but we're
open to a shorter deal, hoping to grease the skids
that a better team, a better destination like the Yankees,
like the Dodgers, will say, oh, two years for Bryce

(01:42:54):
Harper will do two years and sixty million for the Yankees. Oh,
Manny Machado two years and fifty five million, will of
two years and fifty five million, And then you will
hit free agency again when you're twenty eight years old,
still in the midst of your prime, where maybe teams
are spending money again, because right now they're just not
spending money long term. Teams are getting too smart. But

(01:43:14):
the big thing is for the Players Association for the
value of these guys, for people to all these guys
are not getting their value. This is what their representation
has to do. We got to go back to other
teams that have dropped out of the bidding or not
gotten involved and said, hey, Bryce is really interested coming here?
Will you do two years sixty million? What will be
your best offer to get him to come here? And
that's what they're gonna do because they want to save face.

(01:43:36):
They want to get these guys the thirty million a year.
But now if it's for two years, we have free agency. Again,
that's easy to spend. Scott Boris can say, hey, after everything, hey,
you know we do two years here. We see we
don't want Brice to commit to some place long term
he doesn't want to go to. So I got him
two years here at sixty five million with the Dodgers
or with the Yankees, whatever, and they're gonna wind up
at other destinations because this is gonna come back in

(01:43:57):
the bidding for them right now, because that it's them win.
That lets the players win, and it doesn't lock them
into a place where they don't want to be. Because,
like I said, if if the White Sox really was
where many with Chada wanted to be, he'd be there.
If Phillies, if it was the Nationals, he would be there.
All of these teams they all say, listen, here's money.
Here's money. Now we can't do not but here's enough money.

(01:44:20):
They would be there. So they're not. So it's gonna
be teams they're not linked to right now. Well, that's
been the curiosity here in Los Angeles. Said one thing
to note, as we are in the midst of Super
Bowl Week with the Los Angeles team in it, they're
distant third said this all during the run. They were
a distant third all season long. They're a distant third
in the news here over the course of the beginning

(01:44:41):
of this week as well. Maybe by Thursday or Friday,
something will break and and we'll have something change. But
right now, it's will the Dodgers make another move to
bolster things ahead of spring training? With the Bryce Harper potential,
They're right star power. You've got billions of dollars to
access and just need to go into one of the
brings tra and bring some more forth for for Bryce Harper,

(01:45:03):
and then obviously lebron and Anthony Davis and Brandon Ingram
Watch is king of all media now. And yeah, it
almost sounds like wronk every time I hear it. I
think it would be something a noise he would make.
But yeah, I think you'll you'll get to the point
where you have one of these monster to three year

(01:45:25):
deals offered by a winning team. But I wouldn't be
surprised if behind it at this stage of the game.
We've talked about it tonight and over the last couple
of weeks with a number of guys that are unsigned,
and we can say they're waiting for those big dominoes
to follow all you want. Eventually, is there gonna be
I mean, we've filed lawsuits for everything in this country.
You didn't make a call and a defensive back in

(01:45:45):
the game. You have screwed me out of my Super
Bowl week in Atlanta. Um, Eventually the collusion flag has
to be raised here. I don't plus percent of the
free agents not signed. But you're talking about of a
player and his representation making a crazy demand for money.
That it's easy what I'm saying years because I can't.

(01:46:11):
I can't sit here and think that all teams are
waiting for the al Right, I gotta I really gotta
wait to resign my guys or go into the marketplace.
I gotta see what Harper and Machado do when I'm
looking at a fifth out fielder or that I might
need for my roster. Like it. They're not. They're not
tipping the scales. So there's a lot of guys that

(01:46:32):
historically would have been signed much earlier than this. Yeah,
guys like Mike Mustakin. But but but that's the question, though,
is is there enough there? I mean, because back in
the eighties we saw it, right, Fisk and all those
guys one. So the question is do they at least
raise the flag saying, hey, what's going on here? If
these players would take less time, they'd all be signed

(01:46:57):
way before now. If there I want to hold out
for a three year deal, a four year deal. If
the players would take less time and say, okay, one
or two years, they'd all be signed. Bryce Harper would
be snapped up by now, So would Machado. They all
would be. They all would be. Don't be shocked when
Bryce Harper and many michadill signed one year deals. Tod
Hey one year and thirty eight million dollars to play
for the Dodgers and we'll see you after this, or

(01:47:18):
he's one year and thirty five million to play with
the Yankees and we'll see what happens after. I'm all
about running your business how you will as a play
And that's why I can't crush Anthony Davis. You know,
I think he should have suited up and played tonight
the Lakers, right he still can mean he may be
able to make it. There's still ten minutes to go
in the fourth quarter. They're not gonna win, but make

(01:47:39):
you get appearance in the final time out. Look at
the suit he's wearing, and then Anthony Davis twitter at
how about a fresco Mike at Swollen don the Jason
Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Uh speaking
of the Lakers and Sixers coming up in a minute,
we'll have the bid on Greg Popovich that we oh yeah,
deb Carson has what's trending and it might not be

(01:48:00):
tacos in Los Angeles, DC, I don't think so. Philly
with a nine lead over the Lakers right now, nine
thirty to go in the fourth quarter. Lebron James not
playing tonight, neither as Kyle Kuzma. He's dealing with a
sore hip. Spurs got a jumper at the buzzer from
Rudy Gay. They beat the Son's one one two, and
the Pelicans top the Rockets in Houston one sixteen. Anthony

(01:48:23):
Davis not playing tonight, James Harden was. He did score
thirty seven points for the twenty four straight game. He
has the thirty plus point game streak. The NBA find
the Pelicans ford Anthony Davis fifty grand the maximum met
alloud because his agent Rich Poule went public yesterday requesting
a trade, which, of course violates the collective bargaining Agreement.

(01:48:44):
Clay Thompson, who's gonna be an unrestricted free agent this summer,
is expected to resign with the Warriors. However, according to
Adrian war Zanowski, he'd considers signing with the Lakers if
l A was able to land Anthony Davis. You need

a word from farmers. From a Hottera balloon landing on
a car to a load of concrete falling on one.
We've covered it. Talk to farmers. We know a thing
or two because we've seen a thing or two. We
are farmers under written my Farmers truck Fire Insurance Exchange

cent affiliates products not available in every state. Jason Smith,
my Carmon. Back to you guys. Thank you. D S.
Charm So tonight has been some kind of night. In basketball,
you had the Michigan Ohio State game which erupted into
blank Ohio chance you know it happens? Well, yeah, it's
Michigan Ohio State. I like how the beginning of this game,

(01:50:11):
the first thing the p A announcer did was announced
that classes were canceled at Michigan for the next two
days and just went crazy. Yeah, classes, beer, beer, mirror
mirror beer. I can get drunk and hang out and
watch this game. This is gonna be awesome. Green hat,
don't don't forget it. I always bring my hat. You
never have a nice green hat. Never know when there's

(01:50:31):
a pretty girl could give your hat to, especially a
green one. It was actually a Red's throwback hat. That
was a hat Tony. No wonder you didn't land any
Michigan Michigan beats. It would have worked in Ohio, Michigan
wins the game. But tonight San Antonio and the Phoenix

(01:50:52):
Suns played a barn burner. It went to overtime and
the Spurs win it one, one four. It was going
to go to the end of fourth quarter and the
Spurs get a game winner with no time on the
clock to take the game one. Rudy Gay with the
game where we've seen the highlights so far tonight, but

(01:51:13):
he tackled him and pushing him down. So Greg Popovich,
you wonder what he was gonna say after the game
about this. Here's he moved to thirty and twenty two
on the year and seven at home getting it done.
He shouldn't have been able to coach tonight after tampering
like that. You should have been suspended. Well, we will
get to that part of Greg Popovich in a second,
but let's let's let's do with this first frost brig.

(01:51:34):
Then we'll know, I know, then we'll fry that fish.
Uh So here's Greg Popovich following the big Spurs win,
Rudy Gay with a big game winner. We're really fortunate
to win the game. I thought that they outplayed us.
Uh now coached us physical to us, uh executed us. Oh,

(01:52:02):
we had no respect for them or for the game.
We didn't play with each other. It was a pathetic
performance and that was it. And he walked out. No
respect for the game, no respect for each other. Literally
opened the door and walked out, walked in that statement,
didn't take any questions after winning one, after Rudy Gay

(01:52:27):
with a game winning jumper, and everybody's excited. LaMarcus Aldridge
goes for twenty nine and fourteen, he has a big night.
You know, I get Greg Popovich and I get his
act now for twenty years. He actually went on to
say the Son's got robbed at the end of his statement,
the Sun's got robbed. I mean, you know what. Look,
I understand, like I said, I get his act. But really,

(01:52:51):
I mean this, this is where you go. I'm gonna
demean my team so badly. We didn't respect the game.
On motivational speech, do you want to go home? Do
you want play at all? You know that I've heard
that before. Shouldn't even have been eligible. Then pull your
team off the court. Then, if you're that unhappy, pull
your team off the court. If you really believe that,
if you really believe oh, we didn't deserve to forfeit

(01:53:12):
the game. Then walk out. So you know what, we
don't respect the game. We're gonna forefeit this game tonight.
Do that. Then don't give me this sanctimonious stuff after
the game about how we didn't play. I mean, he
plays this card all the time. You know, we do
things the right way here in San Antonio, or we don't.
You know what, you won the game, and A should
feel better about it if he lost. You know, he
called it. He called the time out what eleven seconds

(01:53:34):
into the last game. I mean, sometimes you have to
realize this is your team and this is not the
great Spurs team of years past. Sometimes you're gonna struggle.
Are you always gonna be happy with your team now?
And I'm not gonna pretend like I know something that
didn't happen in the locker room or did happen the
locker room before the game today. Gregg Popovitch knows his team.
But you come out and I mean, come on, really,
I mean, you won a game in overtime, it was

(01:53:56):
a close game, and here you say, oh, we disrespected
the game of basketball. He's still coach to win. You
still played the whole game. You were upset, you won,
the Sun's got robbed, and but you still played the game.
If you really felt that bad, pull your team off
the floor, then say, you know what, this is not
working at the end. Don't take a shot at the
end of regulation. Hand the ball over to Devin Booker.
He's got thirty eight hand on the ball. Let him

(01:54:17):
drive down for the game winning lamp and that will
prove a point. We didn't deserve to win this game.
I'm giving this game to the Phoenix Suns. But now
we played all the way hard, they fight at the end,
they win, and then you want to say that after
the game. Sometimes I'm just done with Greg Popah. I
know you're you're angry at him, and you you like,
don't like the d motivational speeches on here giving a

(01:54:37):
pat on the back, even though it's by demeaning his
team to the effort from Phoenix, Because you want to
talk about a team that would be very easy at
this point to just start packing up and thinking about
what they're doing in the postseason. Uh. And while everybody
else is in the playoffs and they're off on vacation. Uh,
they can certainly do that for Popovich. It's it's another

(01:54:58):
thirty seconds. I guess it takes so over some of
the news cycle from Anthony Davison the Lakers, So there's
some fun to it for a moment. But that's the
other part of Popovitch is earlier today Stephen A. Smith,
I don't realize I'm I'm prefacing this by saying Stephen A.
Smith reporter. But the guy's tugged, you know, plugged into basketball.
It's not like he's got an NFL reports saying Brian
Horrier is going to start with the Patriots on Sunday.

(01:55:19):
But he said today that Greg Popovitch has been calling
del demps Uh Pelicans GM saying, don't trade a d
to the Lakers. Resist like we resisted trading Kawhi Leonard,
don't trade him there. And if that's the case, and
that's a true story, like I said, it's Steven A. Smith,
I mean, I'm waiting for Hunter Henry to be involved

(01:55:39):
in the story somehow or somehow Kareem Hunt or Derrick Johnson.
But if that's the case, then Gregg Popovitch has to
be hit with tampering because if it's tampering to say, hey,
we want you to come play here, and that's illegal.
Then this guy's actually calling a GM saying don't trade
him to this team. No, no, that's that's like a
million plus dollars vamper. Yeah, but here's that's like a

(01:56:01):
huge fine. And that's like a suspension of this thing.
Don't do that. No, well, this should match the Magic
Johnson double dip. It's worth than Magic Johnson. That's worth
than Magic Johnson, way worse if you but here, No, no, no,
don't shut it on. But here's the point, because I
don't want you have to go approve that. The other
check ask went on television and flat out said it. Yeah,

(01:56:23):
that's why, right, if you can prove this, and at
this point it's it's a guy throwing a dart against
IV an insider. Again, if this story is true, I
have it on good authority, and maybe and and maybe
it's true. Maybe it's a true you think Adam Silver
is getting off the couch to go try to prove this.
I talked to Quentin Death. Wait, that's not dead. I
talked to Dell Death. I talked to Bell BIV Devo.

(01:56:46):
I talk oh so other other than getting ke Schefter
told me that this is exactly what happened. All the
referees from Los Angeles. Schefter is doing some NBA work.
And unless you can get Popovich on a stand and
he goes Jack Nicholson and a few good men and says,
you're but I'll tell you if it's true, you prove it.

(01:57:06):
It's like a five million dollar fine suspension for Popovich
because that's iby. Just can't do that. Stead He wouldn't
have an effort against Phoenix for a couple of days.
Can't do it. Can't do it, man, that's bad business.
Twitter and how about a Fresco Mike hat swollen dome.

is you and her. Yeah, well, well you would think

(01:59:19):
that would have come before it's official. Yeah, yeah, teach
face would be Facebook official before that. I'm very very
excited about it. So you put that up there, right,
and your your Facebook picture is you and your girlfriend.
All the pictures up on Facebook, or what you're doing together,
all this stuff, right, And then one day your girlfriend

(01:59:39):
calls you up and said, you know, I don't know
if this is working, and I think I want to
see other people. And you're like, but wait, what what
what do you mean? You said, well, we can still date,
but I think I'd like to see other people. It's complicated,
is all. You can change that. That's a status and
it's not you, it's me. You know, there's a guy
I like and you thing with the guy in the place.

(02:00:01):
There's a guy I like in Boston. There's a guy
like in Los Angeles. This guy from Toronto keeps calling me.
I don't know if I want to get around I
get a right, I don't. I don't know if I
don't know if I I don't know what I want.
Are you leaving that Facebook profile picture up in the
two of you? Or are you changing it to you
with a beer in your hand? Or you know your

(02:00:21):
your favorite football player, your favorite No, you're changing that picture.
You're not leaving it up. It's not happening. That's a
good question. Taking it down. His new girlfriend is way
sexier out here in l A. I got a brand
new girl friend. But let me throw this question at you.
You know, well, look, Anthony Davis and being on the
trading block. We're talking about him for the past and

(02:00:45):
I was gonna continue to talk about this until this
trade actually goes down. They showed Marquelle Folts he was
the thing for a minute, or Mark hell Folts on
the sideline. Do you remember so the good old days?
If I said to you, focus focus, squirrel, squirrel, scroll focus, focus,
hear every word show here. If I said to you,

(02:01:06):
of all the teams interested in Anthony Davis, right, Lakers
can give you package, and the Raptors can give you
a package, and the Celtics can give you a package,
and the Knicks can give you a package. And you
can have the two best things from any one of
those teams. What's the best offer? What's the best thing
you can get for Anthony Davis right, because everybody says

(02:01:29):
all you that Celtics give you a lot of good
young player and a lot of talent, maybe Jayson Tatum.
The Lakers say, oh, we have all. But if you're
only limiting needed to that's not what the Celtics potentially had. Dogs.
But the Celtics potentially can give you six pieces. But
between draft picks and what the Lakers, not the Lakers
could give you ten guys. It doesn't know those guys

(02:01:50):
are better than what the Lakers, you know what the
best potential Yet the best offer is the potential potential
a sky Yeah yeah, yeah, there'll be when Brandon Ingram's
thirty eight years old. Just watch out. The best offer
is the Knicks with Porzingis and their first just like

(02:02:13):
trying to make you happy, which is gonna be a
top three pick, maybe the number one overall because oh,
by the way, who officially has the worst rick of
the NBA as of tonight. Then win seven of their
last eight games and screw this up. Porzingis will come back.
No exactly, no, activate him for the you know, the
mid March, final month of the season. They'll win against

(02:02:33):
a bunch of scrub Eastern Conference teams and all of
a sudden, you're screwed. Some Clyde Fraser suits in the
best and and and some beards, someone's hair product. The
best two things you can get or porzingis and the
Knicks first round pick, which could be Zion Williamson. That's
the best you could get. Brandon Ingram is better than
one night only. Why is brandon Ingram the hottest name

(02:02:58):
in the NBA right now? What does it have to
do with a d We got James Harden tons of
stuff coming up next right here on Fox. Be sure
to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.

lm bead with twenty eight points eleven rebounds for Philly
and the win and the lost brandon Ingram thirty six
points for l A. Lebron James Kyle Kuzman both missed
the game for Los Angeles. Had a buzzer beater at
San Antonio outside the perimeter. We'll take it inside the
York Trial loong too. It's good the buzzer and the
San Antonio Spurs had the feet of the Phoenix. Suns

(02:03:42):
won six winning shot courtesy of Rudy Gay and the
sound courtesy of the Spurs or Radio Network. Pelicans had
no Anthony Davis tonight. They wanted Houston one one, one,
sixteen and the lost. James Harden had thirty seven points
as his run continues. You know has twin d four
straight thirty plus point games. I'm def Carson Now. Were

(02:04:11):
into the slide over baby hour. Oh, welcome inside, Anthony Davis.
Lots of fun and excitement awaiting you in Los Angeles.
Take off your take off your brow, take off your
jock strap. Whoa, that's the next level right there. Up.

(02:04:32):
Oh you know, tight shirt. We get into a nice
smooth rhythm and you always want to jump in on.
I gotta play that. If that costs us Anthony Davis
because he plays that, I'm gonna kill you. I was
gonna go to the Lakers, but I listen to that
Crazy as show with Smith and Harmon, and you know,
then he played that asked drop and then I didn't

(02:04:52):
like it, So I'm going to the Knicks. How we
could go now, I'm not gonna happen Fox Sports Radio,
huh and if that's the thing that tips the scales,
but he sucks. Just we have more on Anthony Davis
and what just happened with Brandon Ingram coming up in

(02:05:14):
a minute, because this has now become the big story.
But I want, I want you know something that I've
always found a way that I can't articulated, but now
I finally found a way. Okay, let's we like to
bring you inside what we do here in the Geico
studios and what's on our televisions at all times. And
you know, like you pull back the curtain in the
slide over Baby, slide the curtain back and go, oh

(02:05:35):
my goodness, what's happening? Well, I mean the old video storage,
you had to go behind the curtain. On one of
our TVs right now is Halloween to the remake Halloween
Too that came out a few years ago. And I
maintain Rob Zombie, I believe he did the first one.
He made have done the second one too, I'm not sure,
but the Halloween the Remake of Halloween Too is the movie.

(02:05:59):
There's no more confusing movie that you have no idea
what's going on if you watch it with the sound
off than Halloween to like, like, you can watch other
movies with the sound off and kind of get the
gist of what's going on Halloween. To this one, you
have no idea what's going on? You have if you're
not watching this, if you're watching this without sound that
you have no idea. I feel like I'm gonna have

(02:06:20):
to revisit this one at another time. It does have
Margo Kidder in it, not Tavia Spencer. Really Oh yeah, no, no, yeah,
I saw. Yeah. She doesn't make it very long. Killed Yeah,
whoa spoiler you already said she doesn't make it long. Okay,
she had a good run. She leaves to go do
hitting figures in the middle of You Have It, Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa,

(02:06:44):
whoa That night horror film. A basketball coach, but he's
also a serial killer and he kills people with chairs. See.
I think at some point we just take a segment
we play the outtakes from his golf show. Some of
the best audio and video you'll ever ever taken. Yeah,
you watched the movie, and you go, I, I don't

(02:07:06):
understand anything. I don't know what this is all about.
I'm a little curious watching from scene to scene. There's
doesn't seem to be a lot of knew what going
on here. You could go to bed with a hundred
and three degree fever, have a dream that gets broadcast
on television, watch it after and go, I got a
better idea what's going on there than what happens in
this movie. Really, it's that it's that difficult, the hundred
three degree challenge brought to you by But what did

(02:07:30):
we just see tonight? It was a big well, what
I want to say, tonight was like seeing a big
play unfold, from opening curtain to closing curtains. Speaking of curtains,
because tonight began with the backdrop of Anthony Davis, who
was missing tonight's game for the Pelicans because of the
trade route because of an injury. Didn't matter. The Pelicans

(02:07:52):
didn't need him because they crushed the Rockets in a
game in which James Harden does get to thirty points
for game number twenty four in a row, but they
beat the Rockets sixteen a game. It sounds a lot
closer than it was because the Pelicans were on top
of this one from beginning to end. Hardon had another
crappy night shooting but still got to thirty seven. So

(02:08:13):
we had that night, all right. Well, we don't know
what's happening next. We know that Anthony Davis was fine
fifty grand because his agent, Rich Paul went public with
his trade request a day ago. So that game ends.
Then we get to tonight's game a Staples Center and
we have the Lakers taken on the seventies sixers. And
who is courtside tonight at the game? Rich Paul Lebron

(02:08:33):
James's agent, Anthony Davis is agent. We know Anthony Davis
interested in signing a long term deal with the Lakers.
Other teams interested in Anthony Davis are the Knicks and
the Boston Celtics. Rich Paul is at the game sitting
next to Kendall Jenner and Kevin Hart. By the way,
Kendall Jenner dating Ben Simmons another whoa another one of

(02:08:55):
Rich Paul's clients. Any Time I mentioned a man and
a woman is gonna play, she got that. You go, giggy,
what do you want me to do? Just nothing? No,
I'm just saying you really just default to that. He's
just an active part of the show, shoots down my
movie ideas and everything. So that's how the second half
of tonight began, the second act, and it finished with

(02:09:18):
the Sixers winning oh five. But it was a career
best game for brandon Ingram, who goes for thirty six
points in thirty nine minutes. He shoots sixteen for twenty
from the floor, and now we have the next invention
of what's next for Anthony Davis. Brandon ingram stock is

(02:09:43):
never higher than it is right now at this moment.
It's been disappointing for a long time. He's been depreciating
because he's never taken that big next step. He's taken
a couple of baby steps, but he's been confident to
be the guy that goes up and down the floor.
And it's a sixteen five and four guy. I mean,
there's a hundred guys lie that in the NBA. I
get that brandon Ingram is only twenty one years old,
but you are in an era of the NBA where

(02:10:05):
you can't wait for three or four years to go by.
You're in a one to two year league. If you
can't win with these guys wanted two year. You can't
sit here and and and and and try to wait
for them to flower and blossom and bloom. It just
doesn't happen. You have to make moves, all right. If
this isn't working, we gotta do something else. So now,
brandon Ingram, along with Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart zoobots

(02:10:28):
everybody else the Lakers have not named. Lebron James is
someone who has been mentioned for Anthony Davis because the
Lakers want to go all and be aggressive for Davis,
because the Pelicans say, unless they're overwhelmed, they'll hold on
to him until the off season comes tonight. If I'm
the Lakers, I make that phone call to the Pelicans

(02:10:50):
and I say, let's get this deal done. You just
watched brandon Ingram on national television. I'm sure Rich Paul
was face timing the Pelicans and del Dep's going and
want to look at Brandon up, looking up and down
the floor. Look, cow good, he is all You want
this guy? You want this guy? Dude? Look you want
to look. Here's Kendall Jenner. Kendall, what do you think? Yeah,
Kendall's gonna like a selfie and put it on there
of you, Delta. How nice is that? There? It is there,

(02:11:12):
we go up and down the floor. Brandon, it's just
a selfie, tight shirt, just a selfie. Sorry, you think
that gets the job done here? Oh, Kendall Jenner, Kendall
Jenner will put a selfie up and she would get
a million, three million. I don't understand. You can party
with her and fire festival. Oh man, Oh you don't

(02:11:35):
want to go. I thought that was the Channing Fry
Festival or the Charlie Fry. Might as well be Charlie
Fry Festival. Party with all the former Brown's quarterbacks from
until now, Tim Couch making a very extra special appearance.
So this is where you're at now. You have to
realize and suck it up that you may have been wrong.

(02:11:58):
And I'm saying this, this is you Magic Johnson, this
is you Rob Polinka, this is Eugenie Buss that you
were wrong about your core of great young players. Nobody
thinks Brandon Ingram is going to be a superstar player.
But the Pelicans like him and they're gonna lose Anthony Davis,
so they got to get something. Lonzo Ball is a
complimentary player, But you can maybe turn him into something

(02:12:19):
else because he wants to go to a team where
he can start right away. And obviously the Pelicans look
holiday plays pretty well. He played really well tonight. He's
a really good player. This is where you have to
realize whatever it takes to get this deal done, you
get it done, because this is how you win in
the NBA. It's by collecting superstars. And I understand that
you are partial two players that you drafted because it
looks better for you if guys you draft play well.

(02:12:41):
Do you think, boy, this guy really knows what he's doing. Well, yeah,
you want to be looked at as the genius, right,
all the homegrown teams, the rookie deals where everybody matures
at the same time. That's it, right, That's why we
extol the virtues of that Seattle front office in the
NFL so often. And what you've done with the nucleus

(02:13:01):
at least now waiting to see if they can bring
into fruition. But all the moves from Danny Ainge, can
that become something huge going forward? So yeah, it's usually
better when it's not bought in the NBA because as
much as we like the dominance of the superstars together.
There's something to be said for all right, this nucleus

(02:13:23):
was what built it right, And I understand that in
a perfect world you'd like to say that, but you
can't because Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball, and to an extend,
Kyle Kuzma as well as he fits in with Lebron James,
because he fits in great and he's really his best
number two right now, these are guys who are replaceable.
These are guys that you trade to get a superstar.

(02:13:46):
These guys that look, they've had a chance now without
Lebron James to play well and they can't. They can't
beat anybody. This young core is just not very good.
You win in the NBA by collecting superstars. You're collecting
Anthony Davis great. The Heat went a four straight NBA finals.
They had four players on their roster when they agreed
Lebron and Chris Bosh are gonna join Dwayne Wade in Miami,

(02:14:08):
and they filled out a way around it and this
is how we're gonna get there, and they did. This
young core is completely over vowed. The best part is
you can flip this. If I'm Magic Johnson, the first
thing I do is said, okay, great, what do you want? This? This, this, this,
this great done. Anthony Davis is playing for the team
on Thursday night when Lebron comes back, because you can
spend it by saying, hey, we didn't want to say

(02:14:30):
goodbye to these players, but they were so good assets there.
This is what we had to give up to get
Anthony Davis. And this turned into Anthony Davis. And that's fine.
No one's gonna say, oh, I can't believe magic. You
traded Alonzo Ball. You're not gonna lose this battle with fans.
You're not gonna You're not gonna lose the pr battle.
You have to prove that. You gotta be gutsy and
do something. Because I'll tell you what. The Boston Celtics

(02:14:51):
are not gonna sit around until July one and say, well,
we'll wait and then we'll wait and hopefully we'll move
some couple of guys around and move some salaries around
and and we'll get Anthony Davis to come and not happening.
The Knicks aren't gonna wait. They're not gonna sit around
and wait and go, Okay, well maybe in the offseason
if Kyrie Irving comes. No, they're gonna call and say
porzingis number one pick? What does it mean? The Lakers
sat around. They've done it so many times. They sat

(02:15:12):
around for Kawai Leonard, they sat around for Paul Georgia,
neither him showed up. Have some guts and step up
and say we'll make this deal and will trade everybody
we have not named Lebron, and the team suddenly becomes
an absolute powerhouse. Do it and do it now because
brandon Ingram finally taking one step up showing you, hey,
I can do this one. I motivated because it's a
big thing to say. Boy, where was this the last

(02:15:35):
three years? Knowing he could do this the first time
he's ever done it. But now maybe the Pelicans think
he can do it for you, step up and make
the deal now. Well, if they think he can do
this consistently for them, they're a bunch of dopes and
didn't get the other three years of tape. Again, he's young.
Should I start singing again or what should I do?
The fact of the matter is you've got Lebron James

(02:15:56):
and for all the slow played nonsense that people tried
to say, it's a four year deal, they don't have
to win this year other time? Is there? All right?
The growing injury took a couple of weeks. Now, how
much of that was I'm gonna sit in a suit
and scout right, he was there tonight and hanging out
and whatever else. But the reality is, you just missed
seventeen games, and now what's the end of the season

(02:16:17):
look like? Is he gonna? Is he? Or was this
really a bigger injury than has any ever been reported? Right?
But it certainly caused him to miss an awful lot
of time and sent them tumbling in the West. Not
that a winning street couldn't solve a bunch of that.
But you've got four years and you don't want to
give any of that time up, right, So to say

(02:16:39):
you've got an inferior run of young players. As much
as you may love them, as much as you may
wish you could post their jerseys up in the rafters,
it's not happening. You gotta win, and right now you've
got a town that is tired of the losing. They
had fun the last couple of years watching Kobe Bryant
put up big nights when he showed up and saying

(02:17:02):
goodbye and that farewell to that's a long time ago.
That's a distant memory. And now you got the Rams
trying to horn in on your action. Dodgers have been
to two World Series for Genie Buss. You you Magic John's.
You brought in Lebron. He bought into l A decided
he was gonna you know, brought him in as much
as he decided. I want to complain, you know. Either way,
they had to submit signed paperwork to the league, so

(02:17:25):
they did file paperwork properly. Okay, so you have Lebron, James,
You've got what is now a deteriorating asset. You need
to go maximize it before it's down to its minimum

ahead of all the questions that were asked at NFL

quote reporters at his daily press conference. You'll hear it

You're talking to your family back in Chicago. They ready

they're ready colder in Chicago than it will be in
Antarctica tomorrow. Most things canceled for the next You don't

Arctic band that that's going all the way through the

Midwest out east coast. It'll check in on family, check
in on your neighbors, make sure they're okay, and then
go hide under the covers and realize that when I say, boy,
is what's worse? Is it extreme heat or extreme cold?
Realize after the next few days you're gonna say extreme heat. Now,
I mean you still would you rather be ten degrees

(02:19:39):
or would you rather it berees degrees below zero? Not
prepared for the other degrees. I'm fat. Heat's gonna get me.
I thought the meat was gonna get you know, the
meat is gonna get me. That's on the epochat question
about that. It's so much better. Extreme heat is better
at this point than extreme culture. Certainly scary numbers going up.

(02:19:59):
I mean Minnesota, they're talking minus sixty five windshield Minnesota.
That's I mean, you gonna have to go hiding the tunnels. Yeah,
just that that's where like you're a naked mole rat.
You know what you're hiding. You know what gives me
the shivers as I think about all those you know,
we just when I just went back to Detroit to
visit Um, we went to visit my wife's cousin who
just moved into a new place with his girlfriend, and

(02:20:21):
it was one of those house, like you know, typical house,
old house that's just drafty. You know that the windows
when they close, it's cold around the windows. Even the
heats on in the central parts of the house. If
you're sitting in a chair near the window, you're freezing.
And I just think about what that's gotta be like
for people when it's gonna be tomorrow that live in
houses like that. I'm like, oh my god, it's gonna

(02:20:43):
gonna be freezing. Well, this is when you bring in
the trash cannon. You start burning stuff in the house
inside the house. Really, I don't know if you want to.
Maybe he gets some baking gun so you can warm
up the house. Okay, not condoning that, no, I was
certainly because then you can stay around and just started
doing like the guys in Rocky take me back, do

(02:21:04):
do do do anyway? Be careful out there. It's also
going to be called the super Bowl this year, and
you see, but here's the thing is that and this
is this is my take on the Super Bowl being
in Atlanta. I went to the first one in Atlanta
ninety nine, the Ray Lewis super Bowl, and which was
the ramsup? Where were you? And I was gone already

(02:21:24):
like the next day, like I had gone to the
super Bowl, worked it for Fox, finished, got on a flight,
uh the next that night. Actually flew out late that night,
like like midnight the night of the Super Bowl, and landed,
went to visit my aunt and uncle in Jacksonville, and well,
you know, we landed like twelve one o'clock in the
morning to you know, we go to bed, wake up
at noon and my uncle says, hey, do you hear

(02:21:46):
what happened to the super Bowl? Like what we see this? Like,
oh my god, I didn't know anything about it, right
because we had already left. But the whole time in Atlanta,
people think, oh Atlanta, it's nice, it's hot, it's balming.
It was freezing cold in Atlanta. The higher week of
the Super Bowl, it was freezing rain, it was windy. Look,
you know when you get certain downtown areas are open

(02:22:06):
for wind tunnels, which are absolutely no fun. There was
a big homeless issue. There's a lot of homeless people
that really can't find help. Help people out a little
bit and get get people to a shelter or something.
It was very it was very difficult. And I said,
they're never going to come back to Atlanta. It will
be a long time before they come back because this
is this is not fun at all because for people
to show up there, people go to the super Bowl,

(02:22:28):
they're on vacation, and if they want to spend a
few days. Yeah, you're there for the game, but you
want to enjoy yourself, you know, you want to go
out someplace and have fun. At least in many apples,
you go to the mall and then you get to
hang out in the mall for day. I know. I
mean we go to Peanuts Land, right and do the
whole thing, to the north side of the mall on Monday,
the south side of the mall on Tuesday, southside. But
being outside so much, because that's what Atlanta was, I'm like,

(02:22:51):
this is this is miserable. I mean, there's no big
outside attractions. I mean stuff, there's Buckhead, right, We're gonna
go hang out and bucket. It's called outside, but whatever
it is. Bak Aquarium that that open. It's difficult and
it's it's it's really really hard when it's cold now
New York. You could say, Okay, New York is called
New York is cold, but New York is New York.
There's lots still get all. You can go to time,

(02:23:13):
and you can go to a play, cabs whatever I mean.
I remember I was there when the show started. I
was out in New York, New Jersey covering. That was
right when we first began the show and they were
gonna open that Rocky show on Broadway. I was all excited.
Then I found out it wasn't for another two three weeks,
and then it closed pretty fast, So I never got
backed too bad. When you can go see a play

(02:23:34):
in New York, oh see, you never know it's gonna
be the last time. That's how it goes. But besides
the weather today, making headlines in Atlanta is a very
enterprising person who decided to ask Bill Belichick the most
ridiculous of questions at Bill's press conference today now last
night at opening night for the NFL for the Super Bowl.

(02:23:55):
The crazy questions came and went, and everybody asked him
answer him. Gronk was talking about motor boating. He did
a whole thing about the number sixty nine with a
it is insane. But today, all right, we're back to
normal now, except for this one reporter that asked Belichick
at his press conference if he could take a selfie
with him. I'm not on snap face and all that. Yea,

(02:24:25):
let yeah, the people got so mad. Next question, move on,
move on, come on, We're not We're not here for
this ridiculousness. We're here in the National Football League. We'll
do that later. I thought we kicked those bar stool
guys out. Someone's till they're watching selfie with Belichick fake credentials.
Pretty good move, though, I man, you know, hey, shoot
your shot. You know you have nothing else to add,

(02:24:47):
But they give you the microphone or answer your your question? Next,
how Jack didn't shoot him down? Question? He said we
can do that later. He did say yeah later, But
you really think, oh wait, wait, I got I gotta
wait a second. How they lift into the show. They
would have known to ask that question on Friday's. Friday's
is the day Belichick open a little bit loose on Friday?

(02:25:07):
Planning is done? Yeah, just do you know, hit me
up later, I'll take a selfield and post it to
my Instagram account and you put it on there. And
you gotta bring your selfie stick. Yeah, because if you
don't have your selfie stick, it's one of us holding
it up and we have to find a third guy. Hey, Tommy,
do me a favorite take to Tom? Whoa Tom? Tom
would be pretty good? Hey Tom, Tom, don't don't flip

(02:25:29):
me off like that. Tom. We have a we have
a game to play. It's Friday. It's Friday. Today's Fridays
forgetting to take that picture. Hey Edelman, I know you're
with four women right now. Can you whoa? Whoa whoa?
That's just a Tuesday. That's a bad day for edelemen. Look, um,
I'll be honest with you. This is not the first

(02:25:50):
time I've seen someone in that kind of situation as
somebody for a picture. Oh no, no, not at all.
I thought you met Edelman with four women. No, no, no,
I don't know. I only see pictures when they're posted
on the internet allegedly. Um, this is about eight years
ago when I was working the Red carpet for the SPS.
That was my my old gig on All Night I
got to do the Red carpet. The es and Hotter
in Hell too done that a couple of but it

(02:26:12):
was almost passed out. It's not rather do it there
than in the call, trust me you would. So the
day before the SPS, the person ESPN was hiring to
be my producer backed out, couldn't do it doing something else.
So my boss said to me, hey, listen, anybody you
know you want to come, just let me know. I'll
get their credenticial. I said, all right, So I asked

(02:26:35):
my wife. She wants to do it? I said, Pam,
you want to do it? Because yeah, that'd be great. Sorry,
great because Pam knows all these she knows all the athletes,
she knows that the entertainment people from working at E
and she knows the new the publicists were and everything.
So it's like, great, she comes on red carpet, is
great directing people towards me. It was really really cool.
So the end of the red carpet comes and the
SPS is gonna start, and everybody's packed up and and
and I'm talking to a couple of people on the

(02:26:56):
red carpets just after you took Curtis Martin's hand and
did not meet Curtis Martin in the Red carpet and
walking through walking up the red carpet is Mary J. Blige,
and she was late, but I don't think she thought
that there was there was gonna be nobody on the
red carpet for right. So we're like, oh my god,
Mary J is here. So I'm like, and my wife
comes up to me because she sees Mary J. Blige

(02:27:18):
and there's a couple of producers there, and she goes,
can you talk to to Mary? And I said, all
our stuff is packed up. I didn't never record her
on your phone. It was all that would have looked
all hang on, just gonna wait. Just this is a
game of snake. I'm just gonna no. I mean that,
I that would have looked awful. Yeah, I was gonna crass.
So Mary, So I'm like, I'm sorry, we're all packed up.

(02:27:39):
I go we it's gonna take like ten minutes to
to go get the stuff and and and bring it back.
And so we're like, oh my god. We felt so
bad because nobody else was packed up was was able
to do it either. So Mary J. Blige is walking
on the red carpet, No one's gonna talk to her.
My wife walkes up and says, Mary, can we all
got a picture, And she goes, yeah, sure, I'll get
around and take a picture. We got our hands up
to this when up, you got your hands, we got

(02:28:01):
her hands up and pictures of Mary J. Blige is like, hey,
so she did something on the red carpet. So it's like,
just so she could do something, that's good. Just so
I told my wife after I said so, just so
we know if anybody says anything, Uh, Mary J. Blige
came on the red carpet and you asked her to
take a picture. Awesome, alright, great, just so you know
that's the story. Yeah, but you got content out of it.
So's not a bad thing that we did. Well, I

(02:28:23):
got content. Now eight years I didn't tell the story
that night. Are you kidding? What Mary J. Blige show
and go oh that's what happened. Now it's eight years,
agone by, She's fine. Now you're assuming Mary J. Blige
was sitting around listening. I mean, I'm sure you are.
High statute of limitations. It's all it's about. Remember that

right back to you, guys, Meg, you d c sure so.
Earlier tonight we told you about how the Pelicans were
able to hold off the Houston Rockets really pull away
from them in the fourth quarter. Final scores six team,
but the Pelicans really had control of this game for

(02:31:15):
most of the fourth quarter. Apparently the Pelicans don't need
Anthony Davis. They that's a hot take, as he sits
out waiting for as he sits out until he gets
healthy and can play again. Well, I mean Ocafer now
averaging game over his last five. He's obviously doesn't want
Anthony Davis around because he brings his a game. They
don't need Anthony Davis. They got Okafer, who's like you said,

(02:31:38):
he's and ten the last seven and twelve tonight, the
last five nights. They get rid of Boogie Cousins. They're
okay now that no Anthony Davis. They're fine. They got Okafer,
they got Drew Holiday, They're fine, that's all they need.
They don't need superstars. That's you know, Chanthony Davis has
been holding us back. That's gonna be a hot take

(02:31:58):
somewhere tomorrow. Pelicans are better off without Anthony Davis. I
should have done this way. The Pelicans are better off
without Anthony. Date there. I gotta wrap it up all
the way to Anthony without Anthony. Songs from Billy Joel
Nice moving out, Anthony Miller, former Charms with wide Receiver,

(02:32:20):
ex boyfriend of Laurence Sanchez. I sorre in a movie
last night. She was in a lot of movies, I
think at some point and all of a sudden it's like, hey,
that's just but yeah, mirror chitch didn't play Peyton. Don
him do him? Anthony Davis in a suit, he might
have helped draw up the perfect play to keep him,

(02:32:41):
you know, keep the rockets at bay. Though, So while
this was happening and we were talking about with winning
and playing without a d James Harden was struggling Chris
Paul in his second game back, proving that he can
help hold James Harden under forty points because Harden only
had twenty after a three quarters, and you thought, boy,
Chris Paul is gonna do his best to keep finding

(02:33:03):
f Reed and other players and and take a couple
of shots himself in the fourth quarter. But no, James
Harden kept the streak alive, although it took him till
late the fourth quarter to get to thirty. Up and end,
James hard knocks it down and he's got his thirty.
So the street now continuing on to consecutive games, Rockets

(02:33:24):
Radio Network on the call, And for a night where
it seemed like Harden struggled to get to thirty, he
still ended up with thirty seven. Oh, he was terrible
much of the night and he had seventeen in the
fourth quarter and it seemed like he struggled to get that.
I mean, that's again the level James Harden's playing. And
I don't want you to confuse he's not taking a
high volume of shots, because he is. He had a

(02:33:46):
bad night shooting tonight, but he doesn't really have a
good night shooting. But he also finds a way to
pull down enough rebounds to make plays and set up
teammates and get to the free throw line. No matter what.
We watched him get to the free throw line for
three free throws in the final minute, in which he
was not touched by any Pelicans player, but he just
fell to the ground and the referees blew the whistle

(02:34:07):
unlike they do for anybody else. It's not that he's
he's hurting the team, he said, because I'm waiting for
that hot take to James Harden is hurting the Rockets,
which he's not, because the Rockets are actually winning games
when they weren't earlier in the almost single handedly brought
them back into this game, but because they had a
seven point lead a half, gave up what ten outscored
by ten and the third and then basically drew even

(02:34:30):
in the fourth, but hardened down the stretch. It was
all on his hands and all of him trying to
bring it back. You can miss a lot of shots
as long as you can make a few in a
hurry and get your team back in the game. This
is the difference between James Harden and Russell Westbrook that
people don't talk about. Westbrook stays called the entire game right.

(02:34:50):
He doesn't shoot his team back in the game many times,
but Harden will always have a stretch or two where
he gets his team back in it. And that's what
he did. In the fourth quarter they were losing. He's
wards seventeen. They got it to within a few but
the Pelicans held on to win. That's the difference is
that shooters like Kobe Bryant and Alan Iverson who have
horrible shooting nights, will get hot at some point and

(02:35:11):
get their team back in the game. It's the old
golf strategy. It was. I forget if it was Walter
Hagen or Bobby Jones who had the philosophy of one
good shot makes up for two bad ones. Right. If
you if you if you duff your drive into the
into the woods, and then your next approach shot goes
thirty yards, if you can hit, if you can stick

(02:35:31):
a hundred and fifty yards shot on the green, well
you're on in three and you're putting for par and suddenly, hey,
your hole is okay. You had two bad shots, but
one good one. That's the kind of philosophy. And what
James Harden and Kobe and Iverson and those guys can
do isay, we'll have time, we shoot poorly. We're gonna
have a whole quarter where we shoot terribly, but we're
gonna get you back in it. I'm gonna hit a

(02:35:52):
couple of threes, I'm gonna get a couple of deals.
I'm gonna give you a couple of assists, and suddenly
we're down ten because I stunk, and now we're winning
by five. And that's what James Harden does again. He
struggled to get to thirty and he still had thirty
seven tonight, and he scored seventeen in the fourth quarter
when it looked like all was lost for him. This
is how easy it's been for him to get to.

(02:36:12):
This is the level he's playing out that he can
get to thirty and score thirty seven. You go, many
had a bad game. That's Harden, sure, eleven of thirty
two tonight, six of eighteen from three point range, his
usual nine free throws, so he's nine of ten actually
missed one to night eleven boards, six assists, four steals
to go with his five turnovers minus five on the night.

(02:36:34):
But you're going deeper into the numbers. That right, they
were back to their old ways, uh fifty six three
point shots, better than half of their number of shots taken,
But they also missed seven free throws along the way,
So that one stands out as you go through the
box score and what became a loss in a in
a closed game. But for James Harden, it's just a

(02:36:56):
fun narrative to watch each night as you get towards
the fourth core, particularly now that Jeff Chris Paul coming
back and rounding his way back into shape, because he
didn't even really take shots today, right, it wasn't about him,
uh taking away offensive opportunities. Uh for Harden tonight twenty
six minutes play and he was four of nine from
the field, had nine assists in his ten points. But

(02:37:19):
you know, eventually his shot number is gonna go up.
And then which guy is gonna be mad? Gordon Freed?
Who's gonna be fighting? He's got a lot of shots.
You look nineteen and eleven tonight, Right, he just signed
a few few days ago. Right, he was what twelve
and ten against Orlando, twenty one and fourteen in that

(02:37:40):
win over Toronto. That's the one where he was feeling chesty.
So he's gonna keep shooting. Speaking of feeling chesty, Jason
Smith show Twitter at how about a Fresca Mike and
swollen dome? Maybe nobody felt chestier tonight? Then spurs head
coach Greg Popovich. Way doll you hear what he had
to say after the Spurs one tonight. This is after

(02:38:03):
a win. He shouldn't even have been here today. Basically
calmed down there, Laker boy. Basically what he said. It's
coming up next Fox. Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon weekdays at
ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific. From a hot air
balloon landing on a car to a load of concrete
falling on one, we've covered it. Talked to farmers, we

(02:38:26):
know a thing or two. Because we've seen a thing
or two. We are farmers under written. My farmers took
fire insurance exchanges and affiliates products unavailable in every state.
From an American Tale, Five Will Goes West James Ingram,
Linda ron Stat Somewhere out there movie about a rat. Yeah,
James Ingram, one of the biggest recording artists of all time.

(02:38:49):
Baby Come to Me just once, passed away today the
age of sixty six. I remember playing his music when
I was on the radio in college, handing out hats
and bars. Well yeah I was, but not that though.
Oh sad news. Brain cancer. James Ingram sixties six years old,

(02:39:13):
Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show with my best
friend Mike Harmon. Great news is a quick way, easy
way you could save money. Switch to Geico. It only
takes fifteen minutes to see if you could say fifteen
more in car insurance. Go to Geico dot com and
see how much you could save. So on a night
in which we watched Anthony Davis sit out the Pelicans

(02:39:36):
big win over the Rockets, James Harden goes for thirty,
Brandon Ingram goes for thirty eight in his career best
game for the Lakers, doesn't matter they get drugged by
but still a bit thirty six. Rather for brandon Ingram
showing that hey I can play really well, you don't
have to trade me, or hey I can score light
this trade me. I don't know what he was going for,

(02:39:57):
but he made himself more valuable to the Lakers. Should
call the Pelicans now and make that trade with Brandon Ingram.
Make the most of the spotlight opportunity. That's it. The
world was watching. Greg Popovitch decided, you guys can have
your spotlight. I'm gonna steal it from you. Late tonight,
the Spurs one tonight over the Suns in dramatic fashion,

(02:40:24):
very exciting. In the game, Rudy Gay hits the game
winner with no time left. The Spurs win, and it
was a close game. Obviously the Spurs should be a
team like Phoenix better than they did. But still, Greg
Popovich decided after the game, you know, I want to
make sure people know just how poorly we played and
how bad our effort was, and how we embarrassed the

(02:40:46):
game of basketball. This is Greg Popovich's postgame press conference.
It was thirty three seconds long, and it was exactly
what you'd expect. You're really fortunate to win the game.
I thought that they outplayed us, coached us of physical
to us, executed us. We had no respect for them
or for the game. We didn't play with each other.

(02:41:09):
It was a pathetic performance, and Phoenix got robbed like
nick Suns. Okay, so first of all, I'm not even
supposed to be here today. Uh. They shot from the floor.
They were from three point range, all right. There was
seventeen of twenty from the free throw line, all right.

(02:41:29):
And then they had a pretty decent game on the
offensive boards. They had more assists, they had more rebounds,
they happened to play a close game against the Suns. Now,
I'm not gonna for a second sit here and say
I know the Spurs better than Gregg Popovich does. Of
course not. I'm not gonna say I know, for instance,
if anything happened in the locker room today that caused

(02:41:49):
Greg Popovitch to look at this game and say what
he said after the game is over. But you know what,
if you're really piste off, if you're really mad at
your team forfeit the bleeping game, then you know, at
the end of the game has had a rudy gay
taking the game winning shot, hand the ball to Devin Booker,
let him dribble down the floor and get to forty
points at the game winners. Because when you sit here
and say, oh, you know, we didn't have any respect

(02:42:10):
for the game and and the Sun's got robbed, you
know what, then give him the game fourfeit the game
because you know what he does. He grandstands, and he
grand stands all the time about this and all respecting
the game. But you know what, not everybody has a
great night. For the most part, the Spurs have played
pretty well for all the better part of two bleep
in decades, no matter who the players are. But to know,
I gotta say we didn't respect you didn't respect respect

(02:42:33):
the game tonight. Were you a little over confident Shore?
Does that happen in the NBA? Yeah, but you know,
but you're grandstanding. You're just out there saying what you're
saying because you want to make it look like I'm
the I'm the protector of the game of the NBA,
and I'm the guy here who need to stand up
and tell you when things are done, when things are
done wrong. You want a game by a couple of points.
Did you take Phoenix for granted? Yeah, they're eleven and

(02:42:53):
forty two. It's like playing the Knicks, except Phoenix is
a little bit better. So okay, you know what it happens.
But here he is. I want to make sure everybody
knows I'm the guy to stand up to tell you.
I'm the moral I'm the moral police, and I'm telling
you I'm standing on my I or it's going we
disrespected the game and the Sun's got roughed, give the
game up. Then if you're really that man, call Adam
Silver and say you know what, we're gonna forfeit this

(02:43:15):
game I don't like the way my team now. Adam
Silver's not being up the phone, Rudy Gay, He's in
an what do you call Pelicans GM again that he's
hanging out with with Roger Goodell. Neither of them wants
to talk to or be bothered by anybody. Mr Silver,
I have great Popa on the phone. He wants to
forfeit the game from last night. I am not taking
that phone call. You know, fans were treated to a

(02:43:36):
two hundred fifty points, a buzzer beater and a lot
of stuff. We disrespected the game of basketball. But this
time the heels and saying, hey, don't trade uh Anthony
Davis to the Lake. We got a lot of good
stephen A. Smith Report, We'll see you. You believe it,
of course you do. Don't trade Anthony Davis to the

(02:43:58):
New England Patriots. Big goes, they're good enough and everybody
and another thing. I got more to say here than
what is What's go Be sure to catch live editions
of The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at
