(00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Greetings and welcome inside.
Maybe TMZ. We know they listen. Everybody listens. After we
talked about the presidents of the United States America and
Lump and Peaches, six minutes later they put up a
bit on the President of the United States of America. Boom,
seven million followers. They put up that tweet about getting

(00:45):
Courtney Kardashian. Yeah, what Frostburg call me. Okay, let's pick
up the phone and just call me Courtney. David Courtney
is going to call you. Trying to think of people
I name phone who did um. There's a couple of

(01:06):
quarterbacks to get to here that had pretty big weekends,
and the first one is Derek Carr. Yes, the interview
with the Jets. Met with the Jets. People were sending
me pictures of Robert Salo with Derek Carr at dinner
in Greater New York, New Jersey area. Here's Derek Carr.
Here's Derek. Brother did some more interviews to tell people
how the Raiders screwed him over and why was a failure.

(01:31):
He can speak for himself. He's a grown ass man.
I will tell you this. I have accepted it. I've
accepted Derek Carr to the Jets that it's going to happen.
I'm at that part of it. It's just gonna happen
right here. It is. And and as soon as Derek
Carr visiting the Jets, of course we're seeing I'm seeing
all these things. Here's what Derek Carr is like in

(01:52):
cold weather. Gee, great, thanks, I need to see that.
Thank you. I appreciate that. Now he hasn't had that
many games in cold weather. But yet, thank you, Ron.
We really appreciate at that. Thank you. That's great. But
it's happening. It's it's likely going to happen. And I've
come I've come to accept it. But but but but
but but but you're upsets the word but right now?

(02:16):
Do you want the butt fumble? Was he referring back
to the earlier Courtney tight shirt closes his laptop from
building grunts and orcs on. I have the butt fumble now.
Thank you. Appreciate that you like your new headphones. Guys
are all jerks and they look good. Look for it's

(02:38):
a good look. I like it. I think of his
head wasn't so big, they'd look big. Yeah, you know,
I'm sorry you have a tiny brain tie shirt. I'm
sorry about that. I actually have a big head. Hey,
thanks for that banana bread. By the way, it's good
tie shirts. Mom made banana bread for everything. It was
pretty cool. Yeah, it's very nice that you were going
around the halls here saying you made it. Well maybe
I did. Maybe maybe some people in the editing room
thinking I made ben anna bread and I made this.

(03:00):
I made this. Ba you know, I would make banana bread.
I would take bananas, I would smash them and I
would I would spread him on the bread, put it
in a toaster and go here banana bread, and there
a sprinkle chocolate chips on hip too. Here's my chocolate.
That's that's that's how we do. That's how you make it.
Not just smashed the bananas, not do a piece of
bread and it didn't know you Gallagher, but that sounds

(03:21):
pretty good. Hey too soon? No, not really? Um was
this about Gallagher or his brother who did the same? Uh?
Buts that go? Look that up kids. But I thought
by now clearly, and I said it on Friday, that
Derek Carr would be a jet. They were gonna move

(03:41):
fast and they're not going to be somebody's second choice
and not gonna get caught in a hey go, We're
gonna go get kirk cousins. And all kirk Cousins did
was use the jets as leverage should go to the Vikings.
The fact that Derek Carr is not a jet, that
he left New York and there's no contract, they're waiting
for it even though they like him, he like them.
It's a great landing spot for him that he would

(04:02):
like all this stuff. This tells me they're still in
it on Aaron Rodgers because Rogers still on the Darkness
Retreat and who knows if that ends as an end
Tomorrow morning for Pat McAfee show. Does Pat MacAfee has
come out of some dark room for the interview now
or you just have that part of the screen is
black and you've got McAfee and his tank top doing

(04:23):
you no matter what the weather is. I'm in a
tank top and I'm doing the interview and and here's
Aaron Rodgers. It's a black screen. It's a voice of
Aaron Rodgers. Best we got related to the dark Room
and the experience was from Nestor in the Instagram world.
You said, what if he emerges and it's live on
TV with McAfee and it's actually Derek Carr that's been
in the Darkness Street. It's a bloody, kind of bloody

(04:48):
Derek Carr. I've killed Aaron Rodgers. I will now get
this spot for him. But Aaron Rodgers and just be realistic.
I thought for sure. Okay, well he's told the Jets know,
and this is why they're in on Derek Carpet. The
fact here what Monday is coming gone and Derek Carr
leaves and he's not a Jet and we're still going
to um. This tells me they're still in on him,
because if they weren't, they would have signed him. And

(05:11):
as much of a hey, I'm a free spirit and
I'm a reverend, Aaron Rodgers wants to be. I'm going
into the Darkness Retreat. There's no way he and his
people are not communicating with the packers and potential teams
of where he might be right because people who are
still in the inner circle, because he got everybody else
he excommunicated, must have excised them from then we talked

(05:31):
about that. I mean, he's he's got it worse than
when Robert de Niro was getting after Stiller before he
went into the Darkness Retreat, which is just sounds so insane.
Person plus our flight, let's go. I'm sure. Be sure
to catch live editions of The Jason Smith Show with
Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven pm Pacific.

(05:54):
The Jets were told hey, he'd be interested, or yeah,
you're probably not gonna get him. And if they were
told you're probably not gonna get him, they have Derek Carr.
The Jets are trying to just draw this out now
so it doesn't seem like it's really awkward. Where Aaron
Rodgers comes out says he wants to be traded, and
then the Jets go talk to Derek Carr. They're trying

(06:15):
to draw it out to make a time. It's so
whoever they go after they want to make it seem
like their number one choice. So I'm sure they know
that they still have a shot at Rogers, because if not,
things would have gone differently. Now. It doesn't mean I'm
definitely going. It doesn't mean, but it means they weren't told, Hey,
Aaron just really not interested. He's not going, because the
Jets would have done something else by now. They would

(06:36):
have said, Okay, we're pivoting, and if we're pivoting to
another quarterback, who else do we really like? They seem
to like Derek Carr. I'm not as big a fan,
but they are, so that doesn't matter, and that's the
guy they would identify. We think he can bring us
to a championship. That was the quote this weekend. Why
didn't you sign him then? Because they're still in on
Aaron Rodgers. I think they're still in on him, and
we should get a resolution on that sometime in the

(06:58):
next couple of days and the Jet will move on
from there. But the fact that that there a car
is still out there, Aaron Rodgers is still there, buddy, well,
but there's no urgency right as we talk about a
lot and bring in the business concepts of things related
to sports and how the real world and what y'all
are doing out there wherever you're listening. We appreciate you

(07:19):
affect things, and there there is some truth and and
some power oftentimes into the first mover advantage is a
very real thing. First to marketplace is something to say,
say the new Tops baseball cards that came out right,
and you pull the autograph card of the hottest rookie, Well,
the first one that goes to marketplace, there's gonna be
a fevere fever pitch to get that one in your possession,

(07:42):
which means people when they first come out are going
to potentially overpay. Maybe it's not a stated print and run.
Maybe there's just it released in waves. The add is
it available in retail products at Target and whatever is, Well,
you know all of those kind of things, so you
may overpay. Likewise that there's definitive, definitively, if you pull

(08:03):
that card and listed quickly, you've got a first mover advantage,
probably getting a higher price than others will pulling the
same card in the weeks to follow. In this case,
what's the first mover advantage for any team to go
into this marketplace and grab a guy? None? None, because
if Rogers is still undecided, you know that small percent retirement,

(08:27):
small percent returned to the Packers. And then the rest
of the pie is which is the best fit, Who's
going to be the most amenable to get me the
most money I can, Who's gonna make me look good
so I don't look like a chump and go out
terribly with no wins, no playoffs and all of that. Like,
I don't want it to go over the cliff as

(08:49):
far as my my last couple of years in the
league are. Why why would you rush that? Derek Carr,
Ryan Tannehill, Jacobe Percent. Derek Carr want to rush it
because he didn't know. He wants to want to be there,
right so I want to sign so it would be
an easy thing for the Jets. Okay, but but it's

(09:09):
not for that. But you don't if if you if
you remember, you're only getting there's only a couple of players,
not like the Jets field like, okay, well there's any
quarterback weekend, right But that the point is that Derek
Carr doesn't really have any other strong suitors right now,
unless he's having clandestine meetings and dark rooms with other teams.
He talked, but he talked to those Saints that nothing

(09:33):
seemingly came. I'm not gonna accept the trade. So whatever,
there's a chasm there that needs to be otherwise, who's
rushing out to Derek Carr? Yeah? But but but tomorrow, tomorrow,
suddenly the Titans may say, hey, we want Derek Carter
come in and hey, and here's the money, and here's
a deal, and that's done. You you wouldn't let a
guy go if you thought he really was your god

(09:56):
number one. But he's not your number one, right, he's
your back up choice. Row. It tells me you're in
on there, in on Roger's still because if you got
a hard no, they gotta maybe right, let's just say, hey, man, okay,
we'll take the baby. But if they got the know
it would have been okay. So now it's it's it's
what if we don't get Derek cart Now you're on
it's Garoppolo gonna be good enough? Is Tannehill gonna be

(10:18):
good enough? Is what? That's that's where you're at. So
it's yeah, you don't want to panic, but you also
want to be able to make a strong decision, defining
and go. This is our guy. We identified him right away.
He's our quarterback because once how many more quarterbacks? And
that's gonna talk to before you go. They have no
idea what they want, really do you don't know. You're
not looking the tape and you don't know, or you

(10:40):
want to swing the sweetheart deal to somehow land Lamar Jackson.
Which is the pipe tree or over here? Is that whatever?
The justin fields reality, right, that's a whole whole other
piece of the multiverse. But ostensible, you've got two guys.
You have two guys, and you probably like Rogers slightly
more than you do Derek Carr. I guess, oh yeah,

(11:02):
well yeah, even if he a more well, but how
much more does he have to accomplish? This is where
we start weighing things. And maybe he got a little
bit of flight Green Bay, blank you and I'll show
you for two years. Yeah. But also for the Jets,
are they looking at the last year of all right?
Because he wasn't in mini camps and he was hanging
out with Miles Teller and he didn't develop a rapport
early in the season with the young guys, because he

(11:24):
did towards the end. Watson had a fantastic second half
that Okay, there's still some life left and him versus
All right, let's go through all the litany of problems,
and we always stipulate there were a lot of problems
with the Oakland Slash Las Vegas Raiders. But to absolve
Derek Carr completely of any responsibility to that, as some
people in our business and fans would like to do,

(11:46):
is just asinine to me what I told you. I
don't like the Jets, but he's not. And I don't
think we have the same deal than they have with
NBA jerseys. If he doesn't show, can I get the
removable name plate? So that'll work for me? Got any stitches?
Is there? I'm gonna be here oh week telling you man,

(12:07):
I'm excited because they're still in on Aaron Rodgers. But stop,
but you don't stop. Maybe we don't really think Aaron
Rodgers camp is wasting a phone call on the jet
we're in on just never happened too. We're in on
Herbert too. We're gonna go and pay him and give
him a lot of money. We're gonna do that, but
pay him right Rogers? Nos, Yes, you don't know. Steve
Cohen is bank rolling every New York team. If you

(12:29):
know that or not, he's underwriter, He's really the conqueror. No,
it's Steve Cohen. He just he just gave James Dolan
so much catch. No, that's not true. I can't wait
to go to that sphere. That's not true unless James
don't want his band me. If you are, if you
are Aaron Rodgers, you're thinking you have two years left.
Where do you think you're gonna go and win a
FC East where Josh Allen's pretty good but he's not

(12:52):
nearly unbeatable. Or I go to the a f C West,
where I gotta hope for a wild card because my
homes is in his prime. He's gonna go to the
a f C. You don't want one of the great
things in this carousels And I don't want to belabor
the point because we want to get to the conversation
we have with locking for But the idea that I
saw floating, I forget who who to attribute it to.
So it's not like I'm trying to pass it off

(13:13):
as my own thought was. How about mac Jones goes
to Las Vegas to reunite with McDaniels and the Patriots
bring somebody else? I saw that prophet? How about that?
That's a nice little twist all this Harmon, I love it,
Twitter and out about a Fresco. Mike gets Swallen dump
It's the Jets are in it for Aaron Rodgers. Coming

(13:35):
up next? Will Derek Carr wind up visiting someplace else?
Will he be a Jet? Where will Lamar Jackson go?
Is that gonna happen soon? Keep it right here. Jason
Lock and Flora joins us next for all the latest NFL.

(14:20):
player that comes to a courtesy of the Marquee Game.
In college basketball, Max Duggan shows up to this game
for time in a in a tuxedo like he's coming
from the prom. With about six minutes left, Kansas TCU
played a niptuck game and Max dug In, award winning
quarterback for TCU, shows up for this in a tux sedo.

(14:42):
Wasn't enough to get TCU by Kansas. Max Duggan is
over radio, couldn't show up earlier, couldn't get them away.
You gotta come through, man, You gotta back your squad.
You gotta rally him. I don't know you needed the
perfect cheer like Will Ferrell and Handy on lear Field
Sports with that. Jason, Yeah, what's up the inside of

(15:03):
his tuxedo? Say Georgia. He was actually wearing a Georgia
colored tuxedo to pay off a bet. He just had
all the touchdowns they scored on t Look at this,
He's got all the scores of all the games in
his check. Why is the Georgia game not on there? Oh,
we didn't have room for it. We didn't have room.
We ran out of time, ran out of time. We

(15:24):
didn't budget for that. Yeah, we didn't budget patch pictures
of the touchdowns against Michigan like that and get this
checket right there. There you go. Five straight wins for Kansas,
number three team in the land. Now, let me give
you this because this is kind of shocking. I like
Russell Westbrook to the Clippers, right that his agent says

(15:45):
that Westbrook's going to join the Clippers. He was traded
a week ago, Jazz have no room for him after
a bout. He's going to join the Clippers. Here's why
I like this. And you say, what would you crazy? Yes,
he's coming in with a defined role. He's not coming
in is part of the Big Three. You're starting, you're
not starting. It's working, it's not working. There was so

(16:06):
much chaos with the Lakers, who never figured out his
role and he never figured out how to adapt. That's
not the case here. He is coming in with a
very defined role and a lot of clarity. You're gonna
come in, You're gonna run the second team, which he
did pretty well with the Lakers here, but you couldn't
get past all the b s and the chaos. But
consistency important stretches of games, right, we'd see a little

(16:29):
bit of hero ball and the I'm gonna dribble it
out while Lebron's clapping for hey, where's no look. He
he's seen too many variables with the Lakers. He has
to accept this role. He has seen his basketball mortality.
I don't want to go someplace off the map and
have to play somewhere. Oh, the Clippers. I have a
chance to win a championship there on the right. Look,

(16:49):
they're healthy now, finally the Clippers. People think they're gonna
make a run. I like this gamble. I like this
risk because it's not anything. It's twenty two games. Come
off this at the bench, lead the second unit. Be
what you did and do what you did in l
A without any of the drama, and for twenty two games,
it's fine. Plus, never underestimate the impact of Oh, I

(17:10):
want to stay in the same city and I want
to shove it up the Lakers. I want to do that.
I can't well, you know what I want. You think
I'm stop saying it because I can't say it, But
you think you think I can't play. Watch watch you watch.
You never underestimate the important I just like the way
you formed those sentences. It was almost like the audio
was editing, like we're playing you back and put that

(17:31):
up we cut those couple of words out, telling me, man, blank,
you I can still play, never underestimating all it is,
accepting your role. Looking across the other locker room, I
think that has a nice motivation and the reality that
you know you're going to be countered upon because you
think Kauai and Paul Georgia playing twenty three games, he'd
stand the season. Come on, we know that's not gonna
actually get like eighteen minutes like, no, no, dude, I don't.

(17:54):
I can't play that with regularity. We need you Twitter

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
