our producer in for Justin Frostberg as he makes his
way to the Big Easy for the Chargers preseason finale
and a and a little bit of housekeeping before the
(01:32):
NFL season gets underway. It's like one of the best
or worst, depending on where you're at in the continuum. Uh,
and listeners and maybe in studio. Uh. You when you
get into your childlike excitement over an event, a movie,
a television show, food stuffs is either the greatest thing
in the world or you just take it completely over
(01:56):
the top to where I can understand, like you just
said Batman ninety seven times and Batman. We could talk

(02:16):
apply so earlier tonight Yankees beat the Mets. Yeah, great, fine, whatever,
my dad, you're Dad, He's okay. My dad's a lunatic.
The Mets. The Mets swept the Yankees two and a
half weeks ago, and I couldn't find my dad for
freaking days. Dad, Hey Dad, catch a game? Not nothing right?
Scary times. You lost the rest of your hair. It's
(02:37):
like he decided to get Like my dad decided. Oh like,
like it's a post apocalyptic I'm going into my bunker
and I'm gonna stay there for four days. And what
I did? We run around like I am legging. Now.
If my dad was in a post apocalyptic bunker, it
would be like he would have all the games from
like a Yankee World Series you're ready to listen to
every day? Ah? I know it ends with us winning
the World Series over the Dodgers and seventy eight. So okay, um, oh,
(03:00):
my dad couldn't find him, right, couldn't find him, couldn't
find him. Not thirty seconds after the final out of
this game tonight, my dad sends me a text, Hey
you guys lost. I'm like, oh, wow, you're luckily Sam
hadn't already really turned on your microphone in that moment,
because you said are unprintable, and really, I don't know
that I've ever heard those put together. And like dad
(03:21):
is my dad seventy five? I'm like yeah, no, no, no no,
no no, yeah. I couldn't find it for four days,
not the second the Mets losing the Yankes. So he
said Yankees, Yankees, Yankees a hundred times. Does dark Night?
He just does that. Man, I'm like that, dad, come on,
don't have class? Have class? Little bit so because he
(03:43):
weren't looking for your dad to rub it in his
face or at no point of contact. And during the
Yankees swoons here and in August, I'm sure batman, batman, batman, batman, batman.
So the big thing from the game tonight, what well? Yes,
the Yankees said with Aaron Judge at a home run.
Remember I told you before he started he was gonna
win m v P. But a guy has gone viral
(04:07):
because of what he did during the game. A Yankee
fan wearing a plaid hat was seen in this video.
Is everywhere. Uh, he's got a beer in his hand,
so he's got a beer to drink, and he's got
a hot dog and it's it's a hot dog is
out of the button like he's got a hot dog
in one hand and a beer in the other hand,
and it's kind of like the New Reese's. You know, peanut,
you put your peanut butt and in my chocolate. Your
(04:28):
chocolate in my peanut butter. And what he does is
he takes a straw and he sticks it in the
one end of the hot dog, like halfway through, pulls
a straw out, and then like sucks the meat that's
stuck in the straw out. Then he takes it to
the other side of the hot dog and sticks it
through to the middle, pulls it back out, sucks the
meat out, eats it. And now he's got a hot
(04:48):
dog with a hole from the top all the way
through the bottom. He's got a hot dog straw. What
does the guy do. He puts it in his beer
and he starts drinking the beer through the hot dog
a hot dog straw. And there's been so many people
on social media tonight. I want to say, put this
guy in prison, lock them up, and throw away the key.
(05:09):
And I gotta be honest. When I saw it, I said, oh, man,
I don't know, man, I like beer, but I really
like hot dogs. And the coagulation of the hot dog
and the beer, and the combination of the heat of
the hot dog and the coldness of the beer. I
think that might work together. I feel like I'm on
Guy's grocery games. You know, the heat and the cold
work well off each other. Right here, I think the
(05:30):
really good and the sun chokes were good. Um this
all these things that people who do not even know
what they are. Um, so I really think that works.
I think you just love the word coagulation. I don't
think are you just picturing the coming off the hot
dog and being there and just drinking it up through
the beer. It sounded good, So we're gonna try it
right now here on the show. We have the non
(05:51):
alcoholic beer for both Harmon and I have the hot
dog and the straw, and most importantly, we have a cup.
Each of us have a cup. Yeah, so I got
the right here a bottle open over there. Here you go, buddy,
I'll ask you worst crime committed by this guy this
process or the uh the hat he's wearing because he's
(06:14):
got the Argyle Yankees hat with the blue and green
he doesn't really work, and then the black outlines and
whatever it doesn't work for now go ahead. I was
gonna say, you know, thanks to Tab who's producing tonight
for us, for saying, hey, I like the story, let's
go out and do it. I appreciate that he also
carries a bottle open it, so now that's a whole
(06:35):
other thing. Well, it's probably off his key ring, and
that's it. So now pouring the beer into the cup,
be prepared, as they say, all right, as you prepare yours,
and and let that foam kind of come off the
top a little bit. I do like that. There's also
a trending topic related to what are we calling it
the beer hot dog guy for lack of a there's
(06:56):
a there's a companion trending topic. Yeah, and that it's
now East Coast versus West Coast battle. So East Coast
we got hot dog Guy. West Coast we have the
still image from the that is now being investigated from
the Mariners as game from the upper deck where someone
(07:17):
may or may not have um enjoyed that game a
little bit more than everybody else in the crowd. I
don't think there was a may in that. I think
they definitely were enjoying that guy. But just saying I'm
trying to keep it clean for the good people. But
that's the new East coast West coast rivalry. Forget about
rap music, forget about anything else baseball or games played otherwise,
(07:40):
this bears a lot of foam. That's you know, I
gotta do. I gotta do the old nose Greek thing. Right.
If you rub your finger on the side of your
nose and you touch the top of your beer, watch
all everything. You'll just go look at that citrus works
as well. Sam, Why don't you bring in a lemon
here to kill that head lemon? Or we're we're infe alright,
(08:04):
So now we're ready. I gotta take the straw now,
and I have to make this all right, So I
gotta stick it through the middle of the hot dog. Okay,
hang on for your safety pleasure, sorry, safety safety. Alright,
So that's about all the way to the middle. Use
the bigger straw here, did you use the smaller one?
(08:25):
I use the bigger one. Okay, I use the bigger straw.
Bigger straw right through there, alright, black and red. And
I drank alone, all right, and then I got the
other side going. Hang on, it's tough for to break
through the casing on the side but okay, so here
we got it. Okay, that's good. All right boy, none
(08:47):
of the none of the hot dog is actually coming
out with the h with the straw, so I gotta
use the smaller straw to push it out. I feel
like I'm on a cooking show. Alex Corner Shelley got
kick your asked, Alex versus America. Yeah, show up here
and try to drink our dog through its strong All right,
here we go. Okay, I got it. Now, I'm good.
You got it? I got it? There you go. But
(09:08):
all right, I'm good. Now, okay, there you go. I've
got a straw ful. Oh you got you got? Okay,
I'm hot dog like product? What do you got? I
just this really reminds me when those scientists go up
to the Arctic and they take those ice cores, you know,
they drill down and they take the core out and
then they can like analyze it. This is what you
guys are doing. Did leave it in the glory ice course? Course?
(09:33):
But I put the hot dog in the beer and
let's sit there for a second, because I want to
see some coagulation. Stop using that word. I should just
put the hot dog in right away. It's getting rid
of all the foam right away. It's very good. All right,
this is great really, I mean guy Fietti got famous
doing this. I mean really okay, all right, m oh,
this is this looks you have to see. I don't
(09:56):
like the reaction there. It's it's a great video. Out
Its sign you to take the straw out. Take the
straw part out now because you're drinking it through the
hot dog. Don't leave the plant, yo, faker. You were
gonna fake drink it through? You are gonna do that? Faker?
Oh fake harmon? Wow? What you were gonna try to
(10:16):
drink it through the straw? Fraud? Okay, seems I gotta
say it feels good that the coldness of the beer
and the heat of the hot dog as I put
it in here, it feels pretty good. Man. I'm seeing
the collagulation. There will be a video accompaniment to this.
You will get to see this lunacy in action and
that I got. I caught that I got harm in
faking it right there. Way to go harmon. All right,
(10:38):
I'm gonna try this now here we go. Let me say, boy,
there's a lot of sucking to try to get the
beer through the throg just rife with one liners. Everybody
out there. If you got a mat, how about a preska?
You sallow and bring the pain. No, it didn't, it didn't.
(10:59):
I mind was easy. That wasn't bad. You try, it wouldn't,
wouldn't go. So you didn't do a good job. Hang on,
I got the job done. I mean, look at that. Technically, harmon,
that was a good job. I can now just look
through you like the t periscope. It's like it's a
Paris scope. Oh up scope. All right, I drilled a
(11:23):
hole clean through the hot dog. Really chose my words
carefully as I just now. I got it. Now I'm good, Okay,
now I'm good. All right, Oh I just feel um.
That's exciting, just wrong. What do you mean? What do
you mean feel wrong? You've drink a lot of it
so far, you drink I didn't pour the whole thing. Yeah,
I think you drink a lot of it. Man. Like
(11:46):
I said, I didn't have the same struggles. Looks individual
you tap tap, get a good get a good look
at this right here, so you can see what it
looks like. It looks so gross. From here. That looks good. Right,
I'm gonna try it now. I like the fact that
the phone for the beer as soon as you put
the hot dog in it disappeared, Like, oh my god,
what's it doing. It's like the phone. Alright, I'm gonna
(12:09):
try this, like I want to know part of this.
All right, you got it? Did you finally get it
to work? I still think you're faking it. You're a
spittake over. No, I drank it. You know what it is.
It's it's drinking beer through hot dog. That's really what
it is, was drinking. It's like you're pulling up. I'm
(12:31):
trying to think of what the line line. It was
a Norm McDonald and you know, it's like blank and
then he goes because you're you know, you'll be living
in a band down over the river. It is not bad.
It's because you know you're eating the hot dog and
had a beer before the beer. I've never taken a
(12:52):
bite of a hot dog and switched around on a
bunch of beer in my mom I kind of like
this now, kind of see, now you're becoming addictive. Your
indictive personality is taking over. Yeah, it's like if i
I'm just picturing myself like instead of taking a bite
of the hot dog and then taking a drink of
the beer. I'm just getting the best. I kept waiting
(13:15):
to take a bite of that. I will, I will
eat the hot I mean it's of course I'm gonna
eat it. No. But the thing is is that the
worst part of having a beer and hot dog together
is the bread, right because the bread gets I don't
need the car now, I'm cutting through it right now.
This is this is not alcoholic. This is a new
health tread. I'm having some more. This is good. You
(13:37):
know what. Wait, I want a little bit of just
the coagulation here. Wait, I'm gonna try the coagulation here.
I freaking up. Yeah no, that's you're talking. That's that's tasty.
I have a drink your milk, I drink your hot
(13:58):
dog and a beer with a straw. That's a hot dog.
M Yeah that's good. Now you can't get a lot
of the beer. The beer doesn't like flow right now,
I gotta I got a pretty good size. It's like
it's see I'm getting it like because I'm sucking it
(14:20):
up and I'm getting like the beer is going. I
could tell it's like entering and exiting all the different
that was the thing, right is if you went with
the smaller straw, then you could, in theory, call this
also a workout, because you'd be increasing your low capacity
because you'd have to do more work to drink up
said beer. I just ate part of hot dog. I
(14:42):
mean drink a lot of beer and a night. Now
I'm drinking a beer infused hot dog. Now I'm just
eating it. This is is this really? This is? Is
this the end of our run? Is this It's the
beginning of something that I think? This is? This is
how it so, this is how it should just become
(15:03):
a Monday night staple, random crap with food. Hey listen, hey,
get the beer and a hot dog. This Monday night,
the Jets lost. I'm pissed. Let's go. I want to
have something. Oh I met that we were gonna just
do an experiment like this every week. Wait a minute,
hang on, I got a little bit of that. We
had a little hot dog that that that that has
been really did a half ass job creating the effect
(15:27):
of your hot dog straw. I'll tell you, man, that's
pretty good. That's pretty good. I'm gonna finish rest of
hot dog. That's really good. We've been a part of
a lot of time here. Yeah, this is one of
the strange sort radio uh, the celebration of this event
in Mets Yankees history. We gotta give tab a lot
of credit. Went and said, you know what, we gotta
(15:48):
make this happen. We got it cleared right, We got
all the clearances and all the signatures we needed, and uh,
now I have this hot dog and beer. Yeah, let's
tell they're not going to reimburse you. You're out. You're
out whatever you spent for the hot dog and the beer.
But you know what, he will know that he had
the intellectual pursuit. He did try this on his own,
(16:10):
like he did a test kitchen kind of thing. And
now here we are. He left. We did the story
at seven o'clock. We came on the air at Tam
said I think we should do this. I said, I'd
be a good idea. Let's see if we can. And
then in fifteen minutes I walked into the studio and
I said to Iowa saying, I said, hey, where tamgo. Oh.
He went to the story to get beer and hot
(16:31):
He was ready to make it happen. Took off. Luckily,
no sports stories, but man he's a man of action.
He is he is right now, Steve the Sager is going,
I gotta send my resume somewhere. I gotta, I gotta
get out. How do you know he doesn't want and
then he's not, and that he's not upset that there
wasn't a third cup in the studio? How much? Because
everybody's got a price, Steve? How much to drink beer
(16:55):
through the hot dog that I already drank it through
and I already took a bite out of what's your
everybody's got a price? How much? Fox through it? Trus
do it? That's right. Don't give it the specificity of
the month, keep it nebulous in case he goes on
a while. References furnished upon request. But how much, Steve,
(17:17):
how everybody's got a price? How much it would have
to be in the zillions? Really, that's not a real number.
It looked bad during the game, Yeah, but wouldn't make
it any better? Harmon, Yeah, see, Harmony, you gotta sell
this better if billions and billions and didn't you did not,
You didn't sell this at all. You were like, yeah,
it's not bad. I'm actually eating the hot dog. I'm
(17:38):
eating the straw. Yeah, but we've made it, been it
clear for nine plush years on this show. You're like
Mikey as a kid. He'll eat it, He'll eat anything.
He's Jason Smith. That the idea that you have, the
the glory of a beer in the studio, I mean
(17:59):
that's taking you over to that next level. That's good. Coagulation.
I'll tell you that's good. That's my kids. The word
of the day is coagulation. Twittering out out a Fresca

Beer through a hot dog straw Fox Sports Radio. The
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Yeah,
there's lots of people expected us to come back and
start off going, hey see you want some Mets lose tonight?
(19:23):
They said this is the worst game ever. I like this.
I want to go to sleep. Holy call. Hey, here's
you know how to spell valanced Whaler backwards? Holy call?
You know mixel plick is kixel plan and that was
one of was Superman's big villains. Uh. The Jason Smith
(19:45):
Show with Mike Harmon, we just did the drinking beer
through a hot dog made straw like the guy that
the Yankee game tonight and my official now that I've
had a few minutes, because you know, with with with
time and distance comes clarity. Now that we've had a
few minutes, think about this. If the and it was
it was pretty good. I gotta say I enjoyed it
(20:05):
because I like hot dog in a beer and this
is you know, putting it together. It's not quite like
Reese's peanut butter cups, but put you know, you know
what I did today off I went to the story wife,
you can stop some things that the story said, Yeah,
and they're this new thing that are like Reese's sticks,
like it's peanut butter cup and this this so it's
almost like a like a Reese's Peanut butter kit cat.
I was like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna try it, right,
(20:27):
So I get it. I go through the self checkout,
I get in the car, I go home and pulled
it out. I go where is it? I never pulled
it out of the cart. I left it back at
the store, so I didn't even get it. It It was
mad about that for just the worst. No, No, I
didn't know. I never put it into that. Actually never
never married because that was an impulse by at the register.
(20:48):
The conveyor belt. What happens for you just this is why,
this is why self checkout, and that's why all these
places lose money. Really got funny is that I did.
I didn't want to do anything huge for dinner, so
I went and grabbed a package of brought worse made
some you know, garlic garlic butter noodles that the girls
like and whatever. And here I am eating, um, a
(21:09):
hot dog that's been infused with beer. So the guy
gets famous at the Yankee game for doing that tonight,
and we decided to try it. And here's here's my review.
If the beer is really cold, because it tasted good,
like I didn't mind it. It was good. But after
a few minutes, the beer got warm because the hot
dog is inside it. So what you need to do
is make sure the beer is ice cold, then you
(21:32):
put the hot dog in and then you start drinking
the beer. And that would be like a nine and
a half on a scale of one to ten, because
that was really good. First six seven kind of range. Right,
It's okay, but when the beer gets like if the
hot dog makes the beer warm, then it loses a
little bit of the of the specialness of exercise video
(21:53):
to come the the entire time, I'm sitting there looking
at you, like how many links is to take to
get to the center of a pop because you kept
coveting that hot dog, Like fine, well it's not really working.
I was wanting to you to say, forget it. The
straw thing didn't work, and then you would have just
eating the hot dog. I did just start eating the
hot dog because after a while I wanted to eat
(22:14):
the I wanted to eat the beer and use hot dog.
It was I I did that. It's like Daisy and
Cooper when Cooper eats the X cream really fair. Um,
so yeah, I would say they forget about putting this
guy in jail or something. It wasn't bad. I mean,
this is this is a great party trick. This is
something that will cause conversation. I don't know if you
can meet somebody with it, because I don't know that
that's a big thing. Hey, I think you're really pretty.
(22:36):
Have you ever drank a beer through a hot dog straw?
I mean I don't know that that's a Look at this,
look at it this way. If it works and you're interested,
party man or woman, is is upwoard? Cool? Yeah? But
that's what I'm saying. I don't know if it was
never meant to be. You're finding one in a million there,
(22:56):
But you're also changing the game. This is the punt
god coming out and giving you the eighty two yard punt.
Now you have changed field position. Immediately you went from hey,
how are you to boom hot dog strang. I mean,
I'm now cought and cornered you here. We've we've hit
a different level in our relationship seconds into the game. Yeah,
(23:18):
that's what I'm talking about here. I like that, the
boldness of the strategy, and if and if it doesn't work,
then you know, right, I can move on. You're not
You're not in swipe right if you on your first
date you want to have drink a hot dog straw
and drink beer out of it. Look, your time is important.
Their time is important. Cut to the chase. What are
we thinking about? And then you're doing that without a
(23:39):
dating app. Now you're using it with the strausage. Maybe
this is the new dating mechanism of you know, how
how far are you you're willing to go? Here? In
our drinking capacity? Right off to ja. I'll tell you
what I want to do now, is I want to
see what that's like like in a soda, Like if
I want a hot dog in a soda, how that
would taste would I'm able to drink with the soda
tastes good through it through a hot dog straw. I
(24:01):
mean you do have the salty and the sweet. There
is there a see I'm telling you the mix of
the hot it's like the mc d LT. It's the
mix of the hot side in the cold side, and
you put them together for that brief amount of time
where you're where you're drinking or eating, and it works. Well.
It's not that far removed from bacon. No, it's not.
It's that's assuming you have a you know, pure hot
(24:22):
d You can make a bacon made straw though that
would be but that'd be pretty hard to do. You
can do that. Why you wrap it up. That's easy
as can be wrapped a straw and bacon. Yeah, and
then you then you fry it hashtags baking conducing what
(24:42):
so like a turd ducan? Oh yeah, wrap it. No,
I've never bacon wrapped a turd. Ducing for the crew
this weekend. I mean, I've got my butterball fryer thing
let's go Twitter, and how about a Fresca Mike and
Swollen down the Ja and Smith Show with Mike Harmon. Yes,
that video will be out soon of us. Uh just
(25:04):
I mean it's like our own cooking show. Well, the
shame belt start ringing. I mean, forget about, forget about
beat Bobby Flay. That's nothing, man, compared to this. This
is a better cooking show. And you're not nepotism. Now
he's doing a travel cooking and food show with his daughter.
You know. I because he had all the he had
all the leverage and he resigned. They gave him all
that thing. Yeah, but look what they're doing now. As
you got him, you got Fietti's got his kid running
(25:27):
around with him. We're just passing these shows down. Anytime
I see hunter on, I go, this is gonna be
you know what. You know, you never answered the question,
which would you prefer the East Coast or West coast.
Now it's funny you talk about nepotism and being able
to call the shots, because with Tom Brady coming back
today to the Buccaneers, he practiced. He put out a
(25:50):
statement he said, like I didn't do the mass singer
last week and It's been reported that he was on
an exotic vacation with his wife and his kids. This
is first reported over the weekend. Jason lackinfora Odyssey NFL
Insider joined us early in the show and said, hey, look,
he made a promise to Giselle earlier in the offseason
he needed more family time, and when he came back
(26:10):
to the Bucks when he unretired, he came at it with, Hey,
things are going to be different, and there's a new
level of things that I want if I'm gonna come
back to play. And so going on vacation is something
the Bucks would have had to say, Yes, we're good
with this. Yeah, we have this big vacation plan. We're
going to Tahiti. I need more time with my family
during training camp. I'm gonna go for like ten days.
(26:31):
And the Bucks in theory would have said okay. And
there's gonna be a lot of people who are mad
about this, and and and take the the attack of oh,
here's a guy, he's leaving his team. How committed is he?
And I get that, but that's kind of then the
knee jerk meat head take to it, because what it
is is we've seen stuff like this, and we see
stuff like this a lot in sports, and it's from
(26:54):
the elite of the elite, the top athletes that can
call the shots, that want to be able to control
they're playing time and their practice time. Tom Brady has
the the the all the cash a to say I'm
coming back, this is what I want, and the Bucks
say okay. And if the Bucks agreed to it, Bucks
agreed to it, I'll be mad. Be mad at the Bucks, right.
(27:15):
You would love to be able to do that and
say I'm gonna negotiate in some some off time. But
Brady negotiated because he has the power. Roger Clemens at
the end of his career, before the before all the
p e D stuff came up, he was back the
last couple of years as a part time player. He
would come back. I want to come back and pitch
in August and September in the playoff. That's it. I
don't I'll come back and I'll start ramping up in
(27:35):
July and I'll come back and that's what I want
to do. And the Yankee said okay, because they needed
Roger Clemens and he had the cache to do it.
Kyrie Irving does it now? I play when I want
to play. I need time off for my birthday. I
need time off because I want to be on a
zoom for someone who's running for mayor of New York.
I can't make the game that night. It happens all
the time. People as an entire property in sports. I right,
(27:59):
post post pandemic. Yeah you're back in, but you you
say I don't. I don't want to come in on
the Friday, and they let your work remotely or from
what meaning wherever you are three day weekend, I mean
whatever it is. In every walk of life, there's little
things star rules right this, layers wanting to be traded
to where their buddies are. This is how it works
for the upper level. It doesn't work for everybody, and
(28:23):
it may ruffle a few feathers, but overall, this is
kind of what it is. Because is it any different
from lebron James saying, hey, yeah, I'm not playing tomorrow,
why general sore nous, I'm not. I'm not playing second
and back to back. Now, hey, pick the game you
want me to sit out on Friday or Saturday. I'm
not playing both of them. And I just say, Lebronx,
it could be any superstar could be honest, it could
be it could be a could be Luca, could be
(28:44):
anybody that said, hey, listen, I'm not playing the back
to back here second half of it. So we get it,
but you get it from the top upper rational law
on athletes. Now, granted, we've never seen something like this
before where a guy has left training camp in the
middle of it, And twenty years ago it would have
been a can you believe this? This are the worst
getting rid of Tom Brady. But now things are different,
and this is what it's like to be a professional athlete.
(29:06):
You want to call the shots in your career, you
want to play when you want to play, and playing less, unfortunately,
is something that a lot of star athletes are reveling
in right now. Eighty two games, that's a lot. I
want to play about fifty five or sixty ah seventeen
games and the three game preseason. Yeah, I I don't know.
(29:26):
I think I might miss a couple of games in
the preseason. I mean, that's just the way sports is
trending now, well what we've had it forever. I mean,
if we take it football specific, different rules for veteran
players about their practice schedule, how hard they have to work.
Look at the NFL as a whole, the c b A.
Every time we get into negotiations, the biggest concessions the
league makes is found practice time. All Right, you guys
(29:49):
think you're gonna be ready because you know the turnstiles
are still gonna turn and the broadcast, right, you're still
gonna go up. Players are a little less ready for
a regular season week one, week two. That's fine as
long as everything's on and hop and come December and
you have quality football and a quality product that you're
selling and and people to turn in uh in huge
(30:13):
numbers and we see it all the time. So you
take an inch at a time, little things. You don't
have to three days, right, we were talking about remember
the time, we're going three a day, but in in
the NFL it was to a day. I remember when
I was making my rounds to training camps would be
an early morning practice, lunch and everything else, and then
about two thirty you'd be back out for another two hours.
(30:36):
You can't do that anymore, right. You don't have pads
or you're in meeting rooms more than you are on
a practice field anymore. So it's It's just one of
those situations where we've seen the encroach, but we've seen
the movement. Brady just took it to a little different level.
That makes people uncomfortable because immediately they start questioning whether
(30:58):
he's wanting to play foot ball. Well, if he'd retired,
then yeah, then you can yell at him because guys
made career decisions to come there based on the expectation
that he was showing up, or if they signed while
he was on his six week sojourn before, they just
wanted the money. So either way it worked out and
just fine, Twitter and at about a Fresca, Mike gets swollen. Done,
(31:21):
Let's find out what's trending right now in the wide
roll the sports. From a guy who once left mid
shift because he wanted to go to the movies, not

good time boy. Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show
with my best friend Mike Harmen. You are all of
those things, buddy, Thanks pal Um. We had a lot
of big stuff in football tonight. Mets lost the Yankees.
(34:35):
Now my dad is returning my calls again because the
it brought you back together. Fine, I guess, but they
beat sure Zer, they do. I don't want to relive it.
My team didn't win is did and now d Graham's
not pitching tomorrow. They pushed him to wins that. You
know what, forget it. We're football football, UM, an absolute legend.
(35:01):
We're gonna remember here for a second. Gary Gains passed
away at the age of seventy three today. Gary Gaines,
who was coach of the Texas High school football team
made famous in the book and movie Friday Night Lights
Odessa permian Uh passed away at the age of seventy three.
He had a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. And Friday
Night Lights in in in public consciousness for the past
(35:25):
thirty five years has been incredibly huge. From the book
to the movie to the television show. Um, everybody's got
experiences with it, no matter how old you are, right
like the younger end of our audience. Remember, hey, the
TV show Friday Night Lights was so good based on
some of the characters who came alive in the in
(35:46):
the book from you had the movie that was made
with Billy Bob Thornton playing Gary games that plays all
the time and Lucas Black and it was in it
was an incredible movie. But the book which is really
is Gary Gaines. Um when I read that book. The
book came out in I believe, and it was about
(36:06):
It was a book by Buzz Bissinger who followed this
high school football team in Texas for a year in
their pursuit of a state championship, and it was the
first of its kind. And I know that the school
was a little upset with him because some of the
things he wrote about with stuff they would rather not
have gone out there. There was racist quotes that were
attributed to assistant coaches, and just how the disdain that
(36:28):
that the athletic department had for you know, like whatever
the English department had for the year with their budget,
like the football team spent on tape like that, Yeah,
we gotta we gotta tap you know, all the books
you need, We gotta fan tape. But it was such
an eye opening book that I've never read a book like.
I mean, still, all these years later, I would say
that's probably if it's not my favor, I'm trying to
(36:50):
think of another one I liked as much that had
much an impact on me. But Friday It Lights is
probably my favorite book, my favorite sports book of all time.
It's because it it opens up this world. Was the
first book to open up the world of this is
what life is like at football at this level. This
is a high level of football. This is the highest
level of football in Texas. And it tells you the
story of what it's on, the pressures that these kids
were under, and how football insane the town was, and
(37:13):
the cheerleaders all wanted to date the football players, and
and all the tropes and and and and general assumptions
you make about high school sports now with the star
athletes and and in college sports really about the treatment
that that players get and what it's like to play
under pressure like that. That was something that for the
first time you read that in in uh in Friday
(37:33):
Night Lights, and it this book is now, you know,
thirty some odd years old, and it's just as relevant
today as it was back then. Like you could read
that book today and go, yeah, wow, this stands up
thirty some odd years later. And that's a difficult thing
to do. No, some of it is certainly playing out
in in front of us on the larger scale is
we watched the evolution of college sports, but from a
(37:57):
high school perspective, you know, I went to a high
school did at the time they had they had abandoned
football for a while because of safety and cost and
all of those things. So I didn't experience that. That
also would have been in in Chicago, right, which is
going to be much different from your experience in New
York versus what it was in Texas. And anybody I've
(38:18):
ever met that grew up and went to high school
in Texas just talks about how large those Fridays were
and the build up and how it would hang over
the town if there was a loss right by their school,
right coming into the weekend, and that it wasn't just uh,
that's that's too bad and move on. No, there's really
(38:40):
cast in the town shutting down. And you got all
of that out of Friday night lights and why it's
held up so brilliantly all these years, I mean late
eighties into the early nineties. He went back for a
second run with the school. But you know, we're remembering
all all the greats as we do here on the show,
you know, and and certain things in the book that
(39:00):
that you now see all the time. Like he had
he lost a big game. He didn't lose many games
in that season, but like after a loss, he came
home and there were for sale signs in his front yard.
Like that's where that came from, was because they put
the first sales signs in his Get out of town
you lost a game, you know, now get out of town.
You you lost a game. And it's it's such a
it's such a really difficult thing to think that that's
(39:22):
what football was like back then. They got in the
playoffs that year because of a coin flip right there.
They had to flip a coin between three teams and
that coin flips on YouTube, Like you can see the
coin flip of the playoffs on YouTube, and the two
teams that match got to go on, and Odessa Permian
was in the coin flip and they want and got
to go on. Certainly saw that in the movie. And
it's funny because earlier in the show, you know, just
(39:44):
the coincidence that I had mentioned the watching of Remember
the Titans, uh, And just this is the reminder to
folks that these were real life people, even though they
showed up in pull pulled questions as fictional coaches on
other networks. Remind or that these were great men that
led programs. Twitter at how about a Fresca Mike at

apply so earlier tonight Yankees beat the Mets. Yeah, great, fine, whatever,
my dad, you're Dad, He's okay. My dad's a lunatic.
The Mets. The Mets swept the Yankees two and a
half weeks ago, and I couldn't find my dad for
freaking days. Dad, Hey Dad, catch a game? Not nothing right?
Scary times. You lost the rest of your hair. It's
(02:37):
like he decided to get Like my dad decided. Oh like,
like it's a post apocalyptic I'm going into my bunker
and I'm gonna stay there for four days. And what
I did? We run around like I am legging. Now.
If my dad was in a post apocalyptic bunker, it
would be like he would have all the games from
like a Yankee World Series you're ready to listen to
every day? Ah? I know it ends with us winning
the World Series over the Dodgers and seventy eight. So okay, um, oh,
(03:00):
my dad couldn't find him, right, couldn't find him, couldn't
find him. Not thirty seconds after the final out of
this game tonight, my dad sends me a text, Hey
you guys lost. I'm like, oh, wow, you're luckily Sam
hadn't already really turned on your microphone in that moment,
because you said are unprintable, and really, I don't know
that I've ever heard those put together. And like dad
(03:21):
is my dad seventy five? I'm like yeah, no, no, no no,
no no, yeah. I couldn't find it for four days,
not the second the Mets losing the Yankes. So he
said Yankees, Yankees, Yankees a hundred times. Does dark Night?
He just does that. Man, I'm like that, dad, come on,
don't have class? Have class? Little bit so because he
(03:43):
weren't looking for your dad to rub it in his
face or at no point of contact. And during the
Yankees swoons here and in August, I'm sure batman, batman, batman, batman, batman.
So the big thing from the game tonight, what well? Yes,
the Yankees said with Aaron Judge at a home run.
Remember I told you before he started he was gonna
win m v P. But a guy has gone viral
(04:07):
because of what he did during the game. A Yankee
fan wearing a plaid hat was seen in this video.
Is everywhere. Uh, he's got a beer in his hand,
so he's got a beer to drink, and he's got
a hot dog and it's it's a hot dog is
out of the button like he's got a hot dog
in one hand and a beer in the other hand,
and it's kind of like the New Reese's. You know, peanut,
you put your peanut butt and in my chocolate. Your
(04:28):
chocolate in my peanut butter. And what he does is
he takes a straw and he sticks it in the
one end of the hot dog, like halfway through, pulls
a straw out, and then like sucks the meat that's
stuck in the straw out. Then he takes it to
the other side of the hot dog and sticks it
through to the middle, pulls it back out, sucks the
meat out, eats it. And now he's got a hot
(04:48):
dog with a hole from the top all the way
through the bottom. He's got a hot dog straw. What
does the guy do. He puts it in his beer
and he starts drinking the beer through the hot dog
a hot dog straw. And there's been so many people
on social media tonight. I want to say, put this
guy in prison, lock them up, and throw away the key.
(05:09):
And I gotta be honest. When I saw it, I said, oh, man,
I don't know, man, I like beer, but I really
like hot dogs. And the coagulation of the hot dog
and the beer, and the combination of the heat of
the hot dog and the coldness of the beer. I
think that might work together. I feel like I'm on
Guy's grocery games. You know, the heat and the cold
work well off each other. Right here, I think the
(05:30):
really good and the sun chokes were good. Um this
all these things that people who do not even know
what they are. Um, so I really think that works.
I think you just love the word coagulation. I don't
think are you just picturing the coming off the hot
dog and being there and just drinking it up through
the beer. It sounded good, So we're gonna try it
right now here on the show. We have the non
(05:51):
alcoholic beer for both Harmon and I have the hot
dog and the straw, and most importantly, we have a cup.
Each of us have a cup. Yeah, so I got
the right here a bottle open over there. Here you go, buddy,
I'll ask you worst crime committed by this guy this
process or the uh the hat he's wearing because he's
(06:14):
got the Argyle Yankees hat with the blue and green
he doesn't really work, and then the black outlines and
whatever it doesn't work for now go ahead. I was
gonna say, you know, thanks to Tab who's producing tonight
for us, for saying, hey, I like the story, let's
go out and do it. I appreciate that he also
carries a bottle open it, so now that's a whole
(06:35):
other thing. Well, it's probably off his key ring, and
that's it. So now pouring the beer into the cup,
be prepared, as they say, all right, as you prepare yours,
and and let that foam kind of come off the
top a little bit. I do like that. There's also
a trending topic related to what are we calling it
the beer hot dog guy for lack of a there's
(06:56):
a there's a companion trending topic. Yeah, and that it's
now East Coast versus West Coast battle. So East Coast
we got hot dog Guy. West Coast we have the
still image from the that is now being investigated from
the Mariners as game from the upper deck where someone
(07:17):
may or may not have um enjoyed that game a
little bit more than everybody else in the crowd. I
don't think there was a may in that. I think
they definitely were enjoying that guy. But just saying I'm
trying to keep it clean for the good people. But
that's the new East coast West coast rivalry. Forget about
rap music, forget about anything else baseball or games played otherwise,
(07:40):
this bears a lot of foam. That's you know, I
gotta do. I gotta do the old nose Greek thing. Right.
If you rub your finger on the side of your
nose and you touch the top of your beer, watch
all everything. You'll just go look at that citrus works
as well. Sam, Why don't you bring in a lemon
here to kill that head lemon? Or we're we're infe alright,
(08:04):
So now we're ready. I gotta take the straw now,
and I have to make this all right, So I
gotta stick it through the middle of the hot dog. Okay,
hang on for your safety pleasure, sorry, safety safety. Alright,
So that's about all the way to the middle. Use
the bigger straw here, did you use the smaller one?
(08:25):
I use the bigger one. Okay, I use the bigger straw.
Bigger straw right through there, alright, black and red. And
I drank alone, all right, and then I got the
other side going. Hang on, it's tough for to break
through the casing on the side but okay, so here
we got it. Okay, that's good. All right boy, none
(08:47):
of the none of the hot dog is actually coming
out with the h with the straw, so I gotta
use the smaller straw to push it out. I feel
like I'm on a cooking show. Alex Corner Shelley got
kick your asked, Alex versus America. Yeah, show up here
and try to drink our dog through its strong All right,
here we go. Okay, I got it. Now, I'm good.
You got it? I got it? There you go. But
(09:08):
all right, I'm good. Now, okay, there you go. I've
got a straw ful. Oh you got you got? Okay,
I'm hot dog like product? What do you got? I
just this really reminds me when those scientists go up
to the Arctic and they take those ice cores, you know,
they drill down and they take the core out and
then they can like analyze it. This is what you
guys are doing. Did leave it in the glory ice course? Course?
(09:33):
But I put the hot dog in the beer and
let's sit there for a second, because I want to
see some coagulation. Stop using that word. I should just
put the hot dog in right away. It's getting rid
of all the foam right away. It's very good. All right,
this is great really, I mean guy Fietti got famous
doing this. I mean really okay, all right, m oh,
this is this looks you have to see. I don't
(09:56):
like the reaction there. It's it's a great video. Out
Its sign you to take the straw out. Take the
straw part out now because you're drinking it through the
hot dog. Don't leave the plant, yo, faker. You were
gonna fake drink it through? You are gonna do that? Faker?
Oh fake harmon? Wow? What you were gonna try to
(10:16):
drink it through the straw? Fraud? Okay, seems I gotta
say it feels good that the coldness of the beer
and the heat of the hot dog as I put
it in here, it feels pretty good. Man. I'm seeing
the collagulation. There will be a video accompaniment to this.
You will get to see this lunacy in action and
that I got. I caught that I got harm in
faking it right there. Way to go harmon. All right,
(10:38):
I'm gonna try this now here we go. Let me say, boy,
there's a lot of sucking to try to get the
beer through the throg just rife with one liners. Everybody
out there. If you got a mat, how about a preska?
You sallow and bring the pain. No, it didn't, it didn't.
(10:59):
I mind was easy. That wasn't bad. You try, it wouldn't,
wouldn't go. So you didn't do a good job. Hang on,
I got the job done. I mean, look at that. Technically, harmon,
that was a good job. I can now just look
through you like the t periscope. It's like it's a
Paris scope. Oh up scope. All right, I drilled a
(11:23):
hole clean through the hot dog. Really chose my words
carefully as I just now. I got it. Now I'm good, Okay,
now I'm good. All right, Oh I just feel um.
That's exciting, just wrong. What do you mean? What do
you mean feel wrong? You've drink a lot of it
so far, you drink I didn't pour the whole thing. Yeah,
I think you drink a lot of it. Man. Like
(11:46):
I said, I didn't have the same struggles. Looks individual
you tap tap, get a good get a good look
at this right here, so you can see what it
looks like. It looks so gross. From here. That looks good. Right,
I'm gonna try it now. I like the fact that
the phone for the beer as soon as you put
the hot dog in it disappeared, Like, oh my god,
what's it doing. It's like the phone. Alright, I'm gonna
(12:09):
try this, like I want to know part of this.
All right, you got it? Did you finally get it
to work? I still think you're faking it. You're a
spittake over. No, I drank it. You know what it is.
It's it's drinking beer through hot dog. That's really what
it is, was drinking. It's like you're pulling up. I'm
(12:31):
trying to think of what the line line. It was
a Norm McDonald and you know, it's like blank and
then he goes because you're you know, you'll be living
in a band down over the river. It is not bad.
It's because you know you're eating the hot dog and
had a beer before the beer. I've never taken a
(12:52):
bite of a hot dog and switched around on a
bunch of beer in my mom I kind of like
this now, kind of see, now you're becoming addictive. Your
indictive personality is taking over. Yeah, it's like if i
I'm just picturing myself like instead of taking a bite
of the hot dog and then taking a drink of
the beer. I'm just getting the best. I kept waiting
(13:15):
to take a bite of that. I will, I will
eat the hot I mean it's of course I'm gonna
eat it. No. But the thing is is that the
worst part of having a beer and hot dog together
is the bread, right because the bread gets I don't
need the car now, I'm cutting through it right now.
This is this is not alcoholic. This is a new
health tread. I'm having some more. This is good. You
(13:37):
know what. Wait, I want a little bit of just
the coagulation here. Wait, I'm gonna try the coagulation here.
I freaking up. Yeah no, that's you're talking. That's that's tasty.
I have a drink your milk, I drink your hot
(13:58):
dog and a beer with a straw. That's a hot dog.
M Yeah that's good. Now you can't get a lot
of the beer. The beer doesn't like flow right now,
I gotta I got a pretty good size. It's like
it's see I'm getting it like because I'm sucking it
(14:20):
up and I'm getting like the beer is going. I
could tell it's like entering and exiting all the different
that was the thing, right is if you went with
the smaller straw, then you could, in theory, call this
also a workout, because you'd be increasing your low capacity
because you'd have to do more work to drink up
said beer. I just ate part of hot dog. I
(14:42):
mean drink a lot of beer and a night. Now
I'm drinking a beer infused hot dog. Now I'm just
eating it. This is is this really? This is? Is
this the end of our run? Is this It's the
beginning of something that I think? This is? This is
how it so, this is how it should just become
(15:03):
a Monday night staple, random crap with food. Hey listen, hey,
get the beer and a hot dog. This Monday night,
the Jets lost. I'm pissed. Let's go. I want to
have something. Oh I met that we were gonna just
do an experiment like this every week. Wait a minute,
hang on, I got a little bit of that. We
had a little hot dog that that that that has
been really did a half ass job creating the effect
(15:27):
of your hot dog straw. I'll tell you, man, that's
pretty good. That's pretty good. I'm gonna finish rest of
hot dog. That's really good. We've been a part of
a lot of time here. Yeah, this is one of
the strange sort radio uh, the celebration of this event
in Mets Yankees history. We gotta give tab a lot
of credit. Went and said, you know what, we gotta
(15:48):
make this happen. We got it cleared right, We got
all the clearances and all the signatures we needed, and uh,
now I have this hot dog and beer. Yeah, let's
tell they're not going to reimburse you. You're out. You're
out whatever you spent for the hot dog and the beer.
But you know what, he will know that he had
the intellectual pursuit. He did try this on his own,
(16:10):
like he did a test kitchen kind of thing. And
now here we are. He left. We did the story
at seven o'clock. We came on the air at Tam
said I think we should do this. I said, I'd
be a good idea. Let's see if we can. And
then in fifteen minutes I walked into the studio and
I said to Iowa saying, I said, hey, where tamgo. Oh.
He went to the story to get beer and hot
(16:31):
He was ready to make it happen. Took off. Luckily,
no sports stories, but man he's a man of action.
He is he is right now, Steve the Sager is going,
I gotta send my resume somewhere. I gotta, I gotta
get out. How do you know he doesn't want and
then he's not, and that he's not upset that there
wasn't a third cup in the studio? How much? Because
everybody's got a price, Steve? How much to drink beer
(16:55):
through the hot dog that I already drank it through
and I already took a bite out of what's your
everybody's got a price? How much? Fox through it? Trus
do it? That's right. Don't give it the specificity of
the month, keep it nebulous in case he goes on
a while. References furnished upon request. But how much, Steve,
(17:17):
how everybody's got a price? How much it would have
to be in the zillions? Really, that's not a real number.
It looked bad during the game, Yeah, but wouldn't make
it any better? Harmon, Yeah, see, Harmony, you gotta sell
this better if billions and billions and didn't you did not,
You didn't sell this at all. You were like, yeah,
it's not bad. I'm actually eating the hot dog. I'm
(17:38):
eating the straw. Yeah, but we've made it, been it
clear for nine plush years on this show. You're like
Mikey as a kid. He'll eat it, He'll eat anything.
He's Jason Smith. That the idea that you have, the
the glory of a beer in the studio, I mean
(17:59):
that's taking you over to that next level. That's good. Coagulation.
I'll tell you that's good. That's my kids. The word
of the day is coagulation. Twittering out out a Fresca

Beer through a hot dog straw Fox Sports Radio. The
Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Yeah,
there's lots of people expected us to come back and
start off going, hey see you want some Mets lose tonight?
(19:23):
They said this is the worst game ever. I like this.
I want to go to sleep. Holy call. Hey, here's
you know how to spell valanced Whaler backwards? Holy call?
You know mixel plick is kixel plan and that was
one of was Superman's big villains. Uh. The Jason Smith
(19:45):
Show with Mike Harmon, we just did the drinking beer
through a hot dog made straw like the guy that
the Yankee game tonight and my official now that I've
had a few minutes, because you know, with with with
time and distance comes clarity. Now that we've had a
few minutes, think about this. If the and it was
it was pretty good. I gotta say I enjoyed it
(20:05):
because I like hot dog in a beer and this
is you know, putting it together. It's not quite like
Reese's peanut butter cups, but put you know, you know
what I did today off I went to the story wife,
you can stop some things that the story said, Yeah,
and they're this new thing that are like Reese's sticks,
like it's peanut butter cup and this this so it's
almost like a like a Reese's Peanut butter kit cat.
I was like, oh, yeah, I'm gonna try it, right,
(20:27):
So I get it. I go through the self checkout,
I get in the car, I go home and pulled
it out. I go where is it? I never pulled
it out of the cart. I left it back at
the store, so I didn't even get it. It It was
mad about that for just the worst. No, No, I
didn't know. I never put it into that. Actually never
never married because that was an impulse by at the register.
(20:48):
The conveyor belt. What happens for you just this is why,
this is why self checkout, and that's why all these
places lose money. Really got funny is that I did.
I didn't want to do anything huge for dinner, so
I went and grabbed a package of brought worse made
some you know, garlic garlic butter noodles that the girls
like and whatever. And here I am eating, um, a
(21:09):
hot dog that's been infused with beer. So the guy
gets famous at the Yankee game for doing that tonight,
and we decided to try it. And here's here's my review.
If the beer is really cold, because it tasted good,
like I didn't mind it. It was good. But after
a few minutes, the beer got warm because the hot
dog is inside it. So what you need to do
is make sure the beer is ice cold, then you
(21:32):
put the hot dog in and then you start drinking
the beer. And that would be like a nine and
a half on a scale of one to ten, because
that was really good. First six seven kind of range. Right,
It's okay, but when the beer gets like if the
hot dog makes the beer warm, then it loses a
little bit of the of the specialness of exercise video
(21:53):
to come the the entire time, I'm sitting there looking
at you, like how many links is to take to
get to the center of a pop because you kept
coveting that hot dog, Like fine, well it's not really working.
I was wanting to you to say, forget it. The
straw thing didn't work, and then you would have just
eating the hot dog. I did just start eating the
hot dog because after a while I wanted to eat
(22:14):
the I wanted to eat the beer and use hot dog.
It was I I did that. It's like Daisy and
Cooper when Cooper eats the X cream really fair. Um,
so yeah, I would say they forget about putting this
guy in jail or something. It wasn't bad. I mean,
this is this is a great party trick. This is
something that will cause conversation. I don't know if you
can meet somebody with it, because I don't know that
that's a big thing. Hey, I think you're really pretty.
(22:36):
Have you ever drank a beer through a hot dog straw?
I mean I don't know that that's a Look at this,
look at it this way. If it works and you're interested,
party man or woman, is is upwoard? Cool? Yeah? But
that's what I'm saying. I don't know if it was
never meant to be. You're finding one in a million there,
(22:56):
But you're also changing the game. This is the punt
god coming out and giving you the eighty two yard punt.
Now you have changed field position. Immediately you went from hey,
how are you to boom hot dog strang. I mean,
I'm now cought and cornered you here. We've we've hit
a different level in our relationship seconds into the game. Yeah,
(23:18):
that's what I'm talking about here. I like that, the
boldness of the strategy, and if and if it doesn't work,
then you know, right, I can move on. You're not
You're not in swipe right if you on your first
date you want to have drink a hot dog straw
and drink beer out of it. Look, your time is important.
Their time is important. Cut to the chase. What are
we thinking about? And then you're doing that without a
(23:39):
dating app. Now you're using it with the strausage. Maybe
this is the new dating mechanism of you know, how
how far are you you're willing to go? Here? In
our drinking capacity? Right off to ja. I'll tell you
what I want to do now, is I want to
see what that's like like in a soda, Like if
I want a hot dog in a soda, how that
would taste would I'm able to drink with the soda
tastes good through it through a hot dog straw. I
(24:01):
mean you do have the salty and the sweet. There
is there a see I'm telling you the mix of
the hot it's like the mc d LT. It's the
mix of the hot side in the cold side, and
you put them together for that brief amount of time
where you're where you're drinking or eating, and it works. Well.
It's not that far removed from bacon. No, it's not.
It's that's assuming you have a you know, pure hot
(24:22):
d You can make a bacon made straw though that
would be but that'd be pretty hard to do. You
can do that. Why you wrap it up. That's easy
as can be wrapped a straw and bacon. Yeah, and
then you then you fry it hashtags baking conducing what
(24:42):
so like a turd ducan? Oh yeah, wrap it. No,
I've never bacon wrapped a turd. Ducing for the crew
this weekend. I mean, I've got my butterball fryer thing
let's go Twitter, and how about a Fresca Mike and
Swollen down the Ja and Smith Show with Mike Harmon. Yes,
that video will be out soon of us. Uh just
(25:04):
I mean it's like our own cooking show. Well, the
shame belt start ringing. I mean, forget about, forget about
beat Bobby Flay. That's nothing, man, compared to this. This
is a better cooking show. And you're not nepotism. Now
he's doing a travel cooking and food show with his daughter.
You know. I because he had all the he had
all the leverage and he resigned. They gave him all
that thing. Yeah, but look what they're doing now. As
you got him, you got Fietti's got his kid running
(25:27):
around with him. We're just passing these shows down. Anytime
I see hunter on, I go, this is gonna be
you know what. You know, you never answered the question,
which would you prefer the East Coast or West coast.
Now it's funny you talk about nepotism and being able
to call the shots, because with Tom Brady coming back
today to the Buccaneers, he practiced. He put out a
(25:50):
statement he said, like I didn't do the mass singer
last week and It's been reported that he was on
an exotic vacation with his wife and his kids. This
is first reported over the weekend. Jason lackinfora Odyssey NFL
Insider joined us early in the show and said, hey, look,
he made a promise to Giselle earlier in the offseason
he needed more family time, and when he came back
(26:10):
to the Bucks when he unretired, he came at it with, Hey,
things are going to be different, and there's a new
level of things that I want if I'm gonna come
back to play. And so going on vacation is something
the Bucks would have had to say, Yes, we're good
with this. Yeah, we have this big vacation plan. We're
going to Tahiti. I need more time with my family
during training camp. I'm gonna go for like ten days.
(26:31):
And the Bucks in theory would have said okay. And
there's gonna be a lot of people who are mad
about this, and and and take the the attack of oh,
here's a guy, he's leaving his team. How committed is he?
And I get that, but that's kind of then the
knee jerk meat head take to it, because what it
is is we've seen stuff like this, and we see
stuff like this a lot in sports, and it's from
(26:54):
the elite of the elite, the top athletes that can
call the shots, that want to be able to control
they're playing time and their practice time. Tom Brady has
the the the all the cash a to say I'm
coming back, this is what I want, and the Bucks
say okay. And if the Bucks agreed to it, Bucks
agreed to it, I'll be mad. Be mad at the Bucks, right.
(27:15):
You would love to be able to do that and
say I'm gonna negotiate in some some off time. But
Brady negotiated because he has the power. Roger Clemens at
the end of his career, before the before all the
p e D stuff came up, he was back the
last couple of years as a part time player. He
would come back. I want to come back and pitch
in August and September in the playoff. That's it. I
don't I'll come back and I'll start ramping up in
(27:35):
July and I'll come back and that's what I want
to do. And the Yankee said okay, because they needed
Roger Clemens and he had the cache to do it.
Kyrie Irving does it now? I play when I want
to play. I need time off for my birthday. I
need time off because I want to be on a
zoom for someone who's running for mayor of New York.
I can't make the game that night. It happens all
the time. People as an entire property in sports. I right,
(27:59):
post post pandemic. Yeah you're back in, but you you
say I don't. I don't want to come in on
the Friday, and they let your work remotely or from
what meaning wherever you are three day weekend, I mean
whatever it is. In every walk of life, there's little
things star rules right this, layers wanting to be traded
to where their buddies are. This is how it works
for the upper level. It doesn't work for everybody, and
(28:23):
it may ruffle a few feathers, but overall, this is
kind of what it is. Because is it any different
from lebron James saying, hey, yeah, I'm not playing tomorrow,
why general sore nous, I'm not. I'm not playing second
and back to back. Now, hey, pick the game you
want me to sit out on Friday or Saturday. I'm
not playing both of them. And I just say, Lebronx,
it could be any superstar could be honest, it could
be it could be a could be Luca, could be
(28:44):
anybody that said, hey, listen, I'm not playing the back
to back here second half of it. So we get it,
but you get it from the top upper rational law
on athletes. Now, granted, we've never seen something like this
before where a guy has left training camp in the
middle of it, And twenty years ago it would have
been a can you believe this? This are the worst
getting rid of Tom Brady. But now things are different,
and this is what it's like to be a professional athlete.
(29:06):
You want to call the shots in your career, you
want to play when you want to play, and playing less, unfortunately,
is something that a lot of star athletes are reveling
in right now. Eighty two games, that's a lot. I
want to play about fifty five or sixty ah seventeen
games and the three game preseason. Yeah, I I don't know.
(29:26):
I think I might miss a couple of games in
the preseason. I mean, that's just the way sports is
trending now, well what we've had it forever. I mean,
if we take it football specific, different rules for veteran
players about their practice schedule, how hard they have to work.
Look at the NFL as a whole, the c b A.
Every time we get into negotiations, the biggest concessions the
league makes is found practice time. All Right, you guys
(29:49):
think you're gonna be ready because you know the turnstiles
are still gonna turn and the broadcast, right, you're still
gonna go up. Players are a little less ready for
a regular season week one, week two. That's fine as
long as everything's on and hop and come December and
you have quality football and a quality product that you're
selling and and people to turn in uh in huge
(30:13):
numbers and we see it all the time. So you
take an inch at a time, little things. You don't
have to three days, right, we were talking about remember
the time, we're going three a day, but in in
the NFL it was to a day. I remember when
I was making my rounds to training camps would be
an early morning practice, lunch and everything else, and then
about two thirty you'd be back out for another two hours.
(30:36):
You can't do that anymore, right. You don't have pads
or you're in meeting rooms more than you are on
a practice field anymore. So it's It's just one of
those situations where we've seen the encroach, but we've seen
the movement. Brady just took it to a little different level.
That makes people uncomfortable because immediately they start questioning whether
(30:58):
he's wanting to play foot ball. Well, if he'd retired,
then yeah, then you can yell at him because guys
made career decisions to come there based on the expectation
that he was showing up, or if they signed while
he was on his six week sojourn before, they just
wanted the money. So either way it worked out and
just fine, Twitter and at about a Fresca, Mike gets swollen. Done,
(31:21):
Let's find out what's trending right now in the wide

My team didn't win is did and now d Graham's
not pitching tomorrow. They pushed him to wins that. You
know what, forget it. We're football football, UM, an absolute legend.
(35:01):
We're gonna remember here for a second. Gary Gains passed
away at the age of seventy three today. Gary Gaines,
who was coach of the Texas High school football team
made famous in the book and movie Friday Night Lights
Odessa permian Uh passed away at the age of seventy three.
He had a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. And Friday
Night Lights in in in public consciousness for the past
(35:25):
thirty five years has been incredibly huge. From the book
to the movie to the television show. Um, everybody's got
experiences with it, no matter how old you are, right
like the younger end of our audience. Remember, hey, the
TV show Friday Night Lights was so good based on
some of the characters who came alive in the in
(35:46):
the book from you had the movie that was made
with Billy Bob Thornton playing Gary games that plays all
the time and Lucas Black and it was in it
was an incredible movie. But the book which is really
is Gary Gaines. Um when I read that book. The
book came out in I believe, and it was about
(36:06):
It was a book by Buzz Bissinger who followed this
high school football team in Texas for a year in
their pursuit of a state championship, and it was the
first of its kind. And I know that the school
was a little upset with him because some of the
things he wrote about with stuff they would rather not
have gone out there. There was racist quotes that were
attributed to assistant coaches, and just how the disdain that
(36:28):
that the athletic department had for you know, like whatever
the English department had for the year with their budget,
like the football team spent on tape like that, Yeah,
we gotta we gotta tap you know, all the books
you need, We gotta fan tape. But it was such
an eye opening book that I've never read a book like.
I mean, still, all these years later, I would say
that's probably if it's not my favor, I'm trying to
(36:50):
think of another one I liked as much that had
much an impact on me. But Friday It Lights is
probably my favorite book, my favorite sports book of all time.
It's because it it opens up this world. Was the
first book to open up the world of this is
what life is like at football at this level. This
is a high level of football. This is the highest
level of football in Texas. And it tells you the
story of what it's on, the pressures that these kids
were under, and how football insane the town was, and
(37:13):
the cheerleaders all wanted to date the football players, and
and all the tropes and and and and general assumptions
you make about high school sports now with the star
athletes and and in college sports really about the treatment
that that players get and what it's like to play
under pressure like that. That was something that for the
first time you read that in in uh in Friday
(37:33):
Night Lights, and it this book is now, you know,
thirty some odd years old, and it's just as relevant
today as it was back then. Like you could read
that book today and go, yeah, wow, this stands up
thirty some odd years later. And that's a difficult thing
to do. No, some of it is certainly playing out
in in front of us on the larger scale is
we watched the evolution of college sports, but from a
(37:57):
high school perspective, you know, I went to a high
school did at the time they had they had abandoned
football for a while because of safety and cost and
all of those things. So I didn't experience that. That
also would have been in in Chicago, right, which is
going to be much different from your experience in New
York versus what it was in Texas. And anybody I've
(38:18):
ever met that grew up and went to high school
in Texas just talks about how large those Fridays were
and the build up and how it would hang over
the town if there was a loss right by their school,
right coming into the weekend, and that it wasn't just uh,
that's that's too bad and move on. No, there's really
(38:40):

(39:22):
what football was like back then. They got in the
playoffs that year because of a coin flip right there.
They had to flip a coin between three teams and
that coin flips on YouTube, Like you can see the
coin flip of the playoffs on YouTube, and the two
teams that match got to go on, and Odessa Permian
was in the coin flip and they want and got
to go on. Certainly saw that in the movie. And
it's funny because earlier in the show, you know, just
(39:44):
the coincidence that I had mentioned the watching of Remember
the Titans, uh, And just this is the reminder to
folks that these were real life people, even though they
showed up in pull pulled questions as fictional coaches on
other networks. Remind or that these were great men that
