Speaker 2 (00:23):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Max Scherzer has been ejected from the game by first
base umpire Phil Cuzzy, and for the second straight inning.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
When Schurzer went.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Back to the mound, they checked his glove because he
saw something that he felt Max could not have, and
after an animated conversation, ejected Schurzer from the game.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
Jeter gdy games, Baby, Jeter just got ejected, Just got
a rested Forman's enhancing eighty games right.
Speaker 6 (01:04):
Well, the Hall of Fame's out of the question now, Michael.
Speaker 7 (01:06):
That's it erases everything he's done play by play from
the Mets win over the Dodgers earlier today and Mets
take the series over.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
The Dodgers two games. So what that's That's my story.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. I am
sticking to that. I shouldn't have said stick see certain
words I I. I.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah, that's that's a bad one.
Speaker 7 (01:25):
Well, we touched it and in our hands were sticky
forts thereafter, although I hear that that comes off with alcohol.
So something they need to start to step perpetrating a
fraud on all of us and then swearing on his
children after that. Hello, Michael, we're here at Fox Sports
Radio Jason Smith Show with me. Mike Harmon had a blast.
(01:46):
We're getting as couzy. Third time you'd leave my microphone
on when we're talking, and but disparaging people of the Mets,
however deserved or not that third time, cause he has
wrung someone up for fraudulent substances. He seems to be
the one that got the memo. Everybody else didn't, didn't
get it or didn't check their corporate email like some
(02:08):
people I know on this show. So you have the
the umpire decides, hey, this is it, and he's swearing
on his kids' lives in the post game, which means
he definitely did it.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
They checked surezer and it glove was sticky with stuff
they didn't like, so he washed his hands.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
They checked it again. It was still stick, and he
was gonna do it every meeting until they watched through
him out.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
He washed his hands again. They found it again and
it was even stick. So they ejected him and the
Mets won.
Speaker 7 (02:41):
What's the problem, No, that's just it. It's cast A
Paul on his entire career. It's one of the guys
that was one of the greats of our time.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Now he's gone.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I don't care about his entire career. I care about
what happens with the Mets.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
That eighty games suspension's gonna make it gonna be eighty games.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
It's not gonna be minimum.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
He'll probably get ten games. I assume we'll get a
ten games to perform in. It's a answer.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
It'll be probably about ten games.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Because he did wash his hands with alcohol in front
of an MLB official a couple of times. So I
got to think, Okay, if you're in front of MLB official,
you wash your hands a couple of times.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
All right, why does he have alcohol in the dugout? Hey, listen,
not supposed to be drinking, dude.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
He plays for the Mets. Just think about that for
a second. All right, I think you just answered. You
just answered your own question right there, boy, you need that.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
No, look, I mean it.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
You listen to sures Or talk about it, and it
sounds like I don't know what is. It's rosin and
sweat and rosin and sweat. Okay, and then you hear
Phil Couzy's angle of Uh, it was sticky, and then
it was stickier than it was sticky again, he said,
was thet of the icky.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Yeah, okay, I do not need this story today. I
do not need this story today. I do not need it.
But I thought you were happy because you won the game.
I am happy, but I didn't. I don't need this
Max Scherzer story today, especially when Aaron Rodgers is still
a packer.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
He staid, Well, but hey, happy Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 8 (04:06):
Eve.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
It could happen tomorrow. I'd love it for that. And
tonight I really need to happen tonight. Can we get that?
Can we get that at night? Can we get that
happening tonight?
Speaker 7 (04:15):
I really needed to Are you gonna start singing? Where
are you Christmas? Like they kid from the.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Grinch when they when they caught Sureser the first time. Okay,
they caught him the first time, and they told him
to change his glove and he went crazy. Right, we're
talking about Max Scherzer, who got thrown out of the
Mets win over the Dodgers today because he had sticky
stuff on his glove.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
He said it was and sweat.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
The umpires didn't know what it was, but it was
really sticky. So after checking his glove three times, they
threw him out the first time. It happened when they
said change your glove.
Speaker 7 (04:45):
Ow.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
People are tweeting out always, and I'm like, I was
almost gonna tweet out. If it was that big a deal,
they would have ejected him. And I don't know, maybe
it was something, maybe it was something in my head,
but there's a voice that said.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Don't tweet right now. Do not tweet that out right now.
And I I said, I'm not gonna tweet that out
right now. And then they check it again and they tell.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And then they throw them out, and I'm like, boy,
that tweet really wouldn't have aged well.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
That would not have aged well at all. That really
would enough.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
You were trying to stick up for your guy, You're
believing your guy. Oh well, I mean you would have
gone down with the ship.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Look, I guess it's it's not. It's okay that in
that case it's a ship. Look, am I really disappointed?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah? Am I pissed off? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Because I'm looking at being without Max Schurzer for however
long it is gil for me, I don't care about legacy.
I don't care Hall of Fame, I don't care. But
I care about this season what happens. So yeah, I
care about what happens to this guy now. Honestly, is
this an eighty game suspension? They found a foreign substance,
they weren't sure what it was, and sure to deal
(05:47):
with what's going to happen?
Speaker 4 (05:48):
Most likely, I just deal with what the most likely.
Speaker 6 (05:49):
He's gonna get the needle, he's not.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
They're gonna put shurets are in with simple what's he's
gonna say?
Speaker 7 (05:54):
We saw you on the mound and you were cheating,
So now you are gonna wait, We're gonna rough you
up a little bit, and then you're gonna you're gonna
confess He did yell, don't you know who I am?
Multiple times at the umpire.
Speaker 8 (06:07):
And then Slitz would give him crap. Are you looking
at me with that crazy eye? Are you looking at him?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
The most likely outcome is gonna be this because the
umpires couldn't tell what it was. It's the season, right, No, No,
it's not gonna do Just just be really listen, Frostburg.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
You the Dodgers lost today. The Lakers lost today.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Now what.
Speaker 8 (06:29):
Bigger fake tough guy Mike, Dylan Brooks or Max schu Well,
Dylan Brooks is comical.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
They should just do a.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
Picture and picture him. At this point, he kept trying
to mean Michael Lebron and Lebron. Lebron got baited in
a minute and they argued, but then the rest of
the game he just did his best to ignore him.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Well, we'll get to that. We'll get to the Lakers.
Brought him up, We'll get to the Lakers. Here's the deal.
Speaker 7 (06:54):
This is what likely gonna happen. Right, to give you
a calm, cool reasoning about this.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
You thought Jason's gonna be a Yeah, I am insane
about it, but I see things. I have that ability
to act really cool under pressure that nobody else in
my family has. And I can say this because my
wife took our dog for a walk and she's not listening.
I am awesome under pressure. My wife so much. Right, exactly, exactly. Hey, uh,
Piggy Stardus, Piggy start us. So what's gonna happen?
Speaker 7 (07:22):
Is this they couldn't find what the what the substance was,
had they found it to be something illegal? Yeah, then
you're looking at eighty games. You're looking at a big suspension.
But the fact that Phil Couzy says, I don't know
what it was. We couldn't tell, and Suzer said it
was rosin and and sweat, which really it's that sticky
rosin and sweat. We can do tests on this, can't wait.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
The fact that they can't they couldn't tell what it
was tells me it's going to be a ten game suspension.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
And is he gonna fight it or not?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Because if you couldn't tell what it was, then okay,
because now you've taken the glove out and that what
did you did you go get the glove right after?
Did you put it in an umpire custody?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Is it in it?
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Has it been out of the chain of command somewhere?
I mean, now, order.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Let's see your glove now.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Yeah, you bat boy went and just smeared Pine Tour
all over and I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
Uh So, Yeah, it's it's probably gonna be a ten
game suspended.
Speaker 7 (08:18):
It's only gonna be a ten game. It'll be ten.
I want I wanted to throw out the eighty just
to see how how much I can get you flustered.
Stop with the process.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Don't get me thinking about eighty. I can't think about
eighty until Justin Ferlander comes back. But I'm again, I've
already come to grips and he's never gonna pitch for
the Mets.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
It's gonna be it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
He's never gonna pitch and the Mets are We're gonna
wind up having to make trades of the deadline just
to have healthy guys that we can throw out there
every fifth day.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I mean every year. The Mets planning this great rotation
for like ten years. Now, wait do you see the
Mets rotation? And then every it falls apart by the
time you get to May. We don't have this guy
and this guy des there, this guy and this guy
that every.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
Single year doesn't matter. Does I just throw this out though?
Speaker 7 (08:59):
When we get to the rosin plus sweat thing and
folks that are trying to stand for sures or it's
like it seems to me that you're all professional. You've
been around this minute, You've seen every attempt to work
with this, and what kind of viscosity, what kind of
you know mix that you get that you would know
(09:19):
right away, Hey, this ain't it.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Right?
Speaker 7 (09:22):
You may not know specifically right, We've had a long hallway.
They should do a special tribute to all of them
in the Hall of Fame, or guys that were omitted
with different things they did to scuff scuff up a
baseball or things they used, the tricks of the trade,
as it were. Here's the vasolene jar from insert pitcher
here and all of those kind of things. But when
(09:45):
we look at this to just try to say, well,
it was rosin and sweat, Like, come on, don't insult
people's intelligence unless you've come up with the greatest recipe
that no ballplayer has ever been able to figure out. Hey,
all it is is, you know, the the rosin and water.
I just happened to do a little bit of food
(10:06):
networking to it, and you know, it's like the secret
ingredients in the pot. I was just better with him.
I didn't add anything to it. I just knew how
to cook it down and make it work better and
make it stickier and more useful than you guys did.
I mean, what's the problem in that? Who's buying that?
Who's buying that?
Speaker 4 (10:25):
Argument?

You're losing Max Scherzer. Is he a cheater? You're gonna
wear it.
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Frostburg's just gonna sit here and be bitter all night
because the Dodgers lost and the Lakers lost, and Harmon's
just gonna laugh and giggle. There's a a guy because
we have a very special guest coming up in about
fifteen minutes for everyone. No, no, no, that I couldn't

in a couple minutes of talk, Max Scherzer and the
cheating allegations. After today and getting caught not once, not twice,
but thrice with sticky substances on his hand, He's thrown
(14:38):
out of the game against the Dodgers. The Mets win,
which is the most important thing.
Speaker 7 (14:42):
But quick update from the NBA right now. One game
in the books, maybe two as the Bucks are thumping
the heat eighty four sixty two.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
It's why I told you the other night. Hey, the Bucks
don't play well in game ones, which is something to
get into, I think with Mike Buttenholzer, but even without Yon,
they are just crushing the heat. They had a huge
second quarter tonight and they have a big twenty two
point lead. Drew Holliday's got twenty four, Brook Lopez has nineteen.
It has just been an absolute onslaught from the Bucks,
(15:13):
who were shooting sixty percent from the floor and sixty
percent from three point range.
Speaker 7 (15:18):
Yeah, you're dusted out of the gate. I mean, and
you've got Miami still shooting forty eight percent, but you're
not matching that. And if you're gonna be able to
work on the interior like you've seen with Lopez feasting
down there, it's gonna be a long day.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Grizzlies beat the Lakers earlier one o three to ninety three.
We'll get to that game coming up in a few minutes,
because it was a big mischance for La here. I
don't care how bad Anthony Davis was. I Meanwhile, early
in the first quarter, Nuggets lead the Timberwolves right now,
fifteen to twelve Nuggets looking to go up to two
to zero in that series. But obviously look the other
big story from the day we got NBA tonight. What
(15:56):
happened today between the Mets and the Dodgers during the
that's five to three win. Met's picture Max Scherzer was
had his hand checked after the second inning, like they
do with pictures for the past three years, and his
hand was found to be a little sticky, so they said,
go wash your hands. He went, washed his hands in
front of an MLB official, washed it with alcohol, went
(16:17):
back out.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
Pitch are third inning. They checked his hand again and
they said, dude, your hand is still sticky.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Come on, man, So we went and they made him
change his glove to put on a new glove. So
he went and washed his hand again, changed his glove,
came out the third time Home played on Pyre Phil Becuz.
He says, dude, this is even more sticky than it was.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
The last time. So guess what this is? How it
turned out from Max Scherzer.
Speaker 10 (16:41):
I said, I swear on my kid's life, I'm not
using anything else. This is sweat and rosin. Sweat and rosin.
I keep saying it over and over, and they touched
my hand. They say it's sticky, and I like, yes,
it is because it's sweat and rosin, and they say
it's too sticky, and they threw me out because of that.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
This was Max Scherzer's response to what happened today. He
gets thrown out, likely a suspension is coming and joining
us now in the hotline to break it down. A
man I told you a few minutes ago. I've been
wanting to talk to him for years. I'm excited. You
can follow on Twitter at NJ Tank ninety nine. That's
NJ Tank ninety nine. He is internet barstool sensation, Frank
(17:22):
the Tank fleming.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
You've seen his videos.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
We play the audio of him from a couple of
years ago on the show walk. He's got the Frank
the Tank Podcast that's on Twitter at Frank the Tank Pod.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Frank Welcome inside man. How you doing.
Speaker 11 (17:37):
I'm doing fine, doing fine. Still recovering from the root
canal I had yesterday, but otherwise I'm doing fine.
Speaker 7 (17:45):
Ouch that and a suspension for Sureser. That's a double dude.
Speaker 11 (17:49):
Well, I'm a doubles fan too, so I got to endure.
I went to the game, esay and watch the Rangers
win five to one.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Oh man, So wait, what was worse? The root Canal
or the Shures are from today?
Speaker 11 (18:01):
The the Devil's losing five to one was even worked
in both of them. Well, look, you know, you know
the funny thing is, don't you you put a kicker
right the umpire Phil Couzy. Yeah, yeah, I live in it.
Basically I'm his neighbor.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Really, dude, have you said anything to him?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Have you gone out and like like say anything and
played something big off a boombox or something?
Speaker 11 (18:31):
Uh No, But he was born and raised in Belleville,
New Jersey, where I live now, and he currently lives
in Nutley, which is like the next count over.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Wow. Oh now, now this is something. I hope you're
not responsible for this.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I hope somehow this doesn't turn out to be a
I'm ejecting Max Schers because of you used maybe something.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
I don't know something happened or not.
Speaker 11 (18:51):
And in fact, I do believe that Phil Cousey is
the only umpire in the family. The rest of the
family works for New Jersey Transits.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
Oh wow, that can't every which way, Frank.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
So dude, what what what'd you think after the shure'ser
thing today? I mean, I didn't need this story today.
I was I wanted to get to beat the Dodgers
in the series and move on. But now we get this.
Speaker 11 (19:16):
There's only been three times where a picture has been
objected for sicky stuff. Each time is with umpire Phil Cousey.
And I mean, first of all, Max Sures is not
the coolest head in the in the room. Secondly, I
(19:36):
mean that was aggressive how cause he was like grabbing
at him. I mean it was like a full body
cavity charch.
Speaker 7 (19:50):
I went full in right, one guy that's leaning in,
and cause he certainly has decided he's going to be
the arbiter of this. We now we have another umpire
that we know beyond Angel her name, so I guess
he gets to make his name here.
Speaker 11 (20:02):
Yeah, yeah, Well I've always said this, if you know
an umpire's name, chances are he's a bad umpire. I mean,
think about it. Think about who the most famous umpires
are in recent years. Joe West, terrible Angel Hernandez, the
absolute worst, Cebe Buckner, lads, the ads. I mean, these
(20:24):
are these are terrible umpires.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Wrong with you, man? You every time I look, I
always say, this is the same thing, Frank. Every time
I get on Twitter and I see Angel Hernandez trending
or see I know something awful has happened, some kind
of call that is not defensible at all, and I
just go As long as it's not the Mets, I
can live with it and have fun.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
But if it's the Mets, and I'm gonna get a
little upset about it.
Speaker 11 (20:46):
Yeah, and Phil Cousey's another umpire that trands all the time.
Cebe Buckner mm hmm. These these umpires think that people
go to the game to watch them quote Bald and strikes.
It's it's I mean, it's.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Very rarely.
Speaker 11 (21:07):
Are you know what the name of a good umpire?
If if you don't know that umpire's name changes, are
he's a good umpire?
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Well let me ask you. Ah well, I was just
gonna ask Frank. So every night I've got to get
on on the air with this guy, and if there's
a big Jets or Mets or Nick story that goes awry,
I've got four hours where I'm doing on on air
therapy for you. You know, what do you do after
a game to try to try to push past it.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
I get angry and just let it out.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (21:40):
Twitter is my therapy. Uh, TikTok is my therapy. Uh
my tweets where I'm like firing off negative tweets, that's
my therapy.
Speaker 7 (21:52):
There you go, Smith or negativity from you due Your
videos are legendary, man, the videos are just legendary.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
I mean, I feel better.
Speaker 1 (22:01):

those things.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
Wow, there is a.
Speaker 11 (24:13):
Not a big chance, but there's the it's it's it's
a good chance that Charles Henderson might have been involved
in the JFK assassination.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Wow, Harmon? Does that? Does that?
Speaker 7 (24:27):
It does? It does bear out with some of the
data points. Yeah, there's some weird history going on there. Fright, Yeah, certainly.

well dressed hobos who were they called it three tramps
who were on a train behind the Grassy k Knowle

You look it up, look up. It is a popular
internet like and it's not like, oh, there's no way
this is this is there's a there's a slight chance
that Woody Harrelson's father was involved in the jfk assassination.
Speaker 7 (25:35):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
If you type in Woody Harrelson, dad, it fills in
with the word hitman.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Yeah it really.

I can't believe we spend as much time talking about
what he Harrelson's dad is we have we have Max
I had.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
Was the throwaway con come fate with you guys, might
be related. See how it all comes together. Frank, that's

Speaker 7 (26:56):
Have a great one, all right, you guys later, be
good Frank. Wow, I I mean, I can't believe all
the time we spent talking about whatdy Harrelson's dad.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
It made me stop thinking about Max Shir's er.
Speaker 11 (27:07):
That was.
Speaker 7 (27:07):
See now you just start thinking about deeper, darker, more sinister.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Sure, and now he's going to Syracuse. He's gonna be
making an appearance. You know, he's gonna eat tacos. I
go back to Syracuse and I go to the bars
and they know my name and he's like, yeah, I'm
doing a Pierce.
Speaker 6 (27:21):
Oh my god, there's no way in hell. His dad's
name isn't Walter. There's no way in.
Speaker 7 (27:28):
I debated asking it, but I was afraid of the answer.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
We might be related, Yes, we might be. Frank the
Tank and I might be related. You need we need
to call your.
Speaker 6 (27:37):
Dad next segment and ask him we had another kid.
Speaker 7 (27:40):
Hey, hey, hey, Walt, we got a huge question for
you here.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
No, listen, I haven't I haven't talked to Frank in years.
Oh was. I'm not supposed to say that.
Speaker 8 (27:48):
There's no There's just no way. There's no way you
guys aren't related.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Yeah, you might be right about that. You might be.
We could wind up.
Speaker 6 (27:54):
Being he's the son your dad never had.
Speaker 7 (27:57):
Yeah, maybe maybe maybe I was. I didn't know what
to expect with Frank that I had no idea what
to expect.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
And then it was really he called me down about Rser,
you know, because he's still a cheater. You see his
videos online and that's when he gets it out and
I'm like, yes, that's how I feel. And then I
give you some of that during the show, but my goodness,
and now now I'm I'm kind of calm.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
Well, we're able to diffuse it with our comedic stylings
and the ability to to just you know, let it.
You know, it's a nice slow like a like a
tire that's deflating slowly as opposed to blowing it out
or like you like, did you taking a pen knife
to it?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
But then but then you give me the misdirection of
Woody Harrelson's dad and look up all this stuff.
Speaker 7 (28:38):
And now literally all I wanted to say was based
on me, because that's been in the news the last
couple of weeks, them joking about getting a DNA test
to determine whether they are in fact brothers. So I
throw that in and Frank had the hey, by the way,
a little known fact. He went Cliff Clavid on it,
and then there we go.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Yeah, and then he I mean, really, I mean, we
spend a bunch of time. He spent as much time
talking about that as he did about Jersey.
Speaker 7 (29:02):
Though. I see he's more than Jets justin a Mets
fan or not a fan of New Jersey drafts. I've
got other things.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
My brother Frank Fleming we had on the show to McConaughey,
Andy Harrelson, Me and Frank the Tank.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
That's how it goes, by the way.
Speaker 7 (29:19):
The fact that he got the well dressed hobos in. Oh,
the fact he got in the word hob. But we
can make the ty shirt. That's the new drop. Now
the new When he said hobo, I said, oh my god,
I know.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Right now that's going to replace the drop in the
beginning of the game. Yeah, well, buddy, come on, man,
Frank the Tank just said hobo.
Speaker 6 (29:38):
Come on, come on, man, we got to get you
and your brother on tandem bike.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Let's realize.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Let's realize we just had Frank the Tank say hobo
on a show that celebrates the word hobo, which again
is probably more evidence that we are related.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
Yeah, it's kind of funny, though, Jay, he didn't have
the same energy.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Wasn't a fan.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Well, well look I don't want to come on, man,
come on, do that clip Like I was waiting for
this guy.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Jose is the absolute.
Speaker 7 (30:08):
Pumped to get him agitated ty shirt.
Speaker 4 (30:11):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
I think that was kind of a b minus.
Speaker 5 (30:15):
Frank.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Just stop.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Be sure to catch live editions of the Jason Smith
Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon
jo is the absolute Oh.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
He had Frank the Tank on the show a few
minutes ago.
Speaker 7 (30:34):
How does that make you feel? Is that one of
your biggest bookings and interviews ever?
Speaker 4 (30:38):
That was fun? Man, that was fun. Ever since?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, Ty Shirt's a lunatic. Ever since he had the
new jersey transits. Oh my god, we gotta have Frank
the Tank on it. Frank the Tank was great and
we talked about.
Speaker 7 (30:52):
Well, he's had a couple of hours to similar simber
down on the sures or news, so I don't know
if he's gonna have to rewatch the game or get
one of those flashy thingies from Men in Black to
get himself fired up for his podcast tomorrow. But either way,
a very cool conversation. Always great to uh to bridge
and bring luminaries in and a guy who gives a
(31:15):
different perspective on really embracing what it is to be
a met fan and not having to sublimate by eating
the extra big mac.
Speaker 6 (31:23):
Mike. The real question is has Jason asked his dad.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
Yet, No, he's avoiding that conversation. Are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (31:30):
We're going to have to.
Speaker 4 (31:33):
I like that. We said what was because he had
root canal the day before? He what was worse? A
root canal or sureser.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Today he said, all the devil's losing fucked to one devil.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
See the devil. Nh the devils. The devil take care
of it. That's how it works in New York priorities.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
Right now, Denver is smoking the Timberwolves right now, thirty
nine to twenty two early in the second quarter. We'll
have more on this game coming up in a few minutes.
But the big result tonight the Lakers with a chance
to go up two zip in the series and really
kind of end it, they lose to the Grizzlies one.
Speaker 4 (32:07):
Oh three ninety three.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Anthony Davis has a horrendous game thirteen points, four out
of fourteen from the floor. D'Angelo Russell also with a
bad game, just five points on two of eleven shooting,
and the Grizzlies win without John Morant Xavier Tillman at
twenty two and thirteen.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I am not surprised at.
Speaker 1 (32:25):
The Grizzlies effort because We've seen them over the course
of the past year without Jahn Morant win games game.
The one team that I can say, hey, without a superstar,
who am I most confident in, It's Memphis because they
won without him last year.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
They won with that.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
You know, they almost pulled the upset in the playoffs
without him a year ago. The Grizzlies can play well
without John Morant, right, so I'm not surprised at this.
But boy this, I know. You can say, hey, well,
the Lakers won a game, They're going back home one one. No,
this was a huge, huge, missed opportunity for the Lakers.
And now now I like the Grizzlies in the series
(32:59):
because John Moran's gonna likely come back for Game three.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
And this was where the.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Laker, hey, we're going home to ZIP and we just
win one of those games and we're gonna win the series.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
It's over now.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Instead, they show you that they couldn't close against the
team without their star. You had two of their top
three players play horribly when they needed them. This was
a big opportunity. The Lakers blew it tonight.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
This is a game even though the Grizzlies were playing,
you knew they play well without John Moran. This is
a game the Lakers gotta have, right, Anthony Davis, you
gotta have a d with a bigger night than he did.
You gotta have D'Angel Russell the bigger.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Night than he did.
Speaker 7 (33:33):
You still got twenty off the bench from Ruey Hachimora, right,
who's now unstoppable coming off the bench. And you had
a good game from Lebron. He shot well twenty eight
and twelve.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
But this with the Lakers, they had the series, and
now I look at it as the Lakers were the
favorites and now it's swung back to the Grizzlies because
they won a game that this should have been the
Lakers throwing the hammer down at winning this game.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
I'm really surprised at the result.
Speaker 7 (33:55):
Here well down the stretch, watching the playmaking of Lebron James,
the bullet passes, the cross court skip pass, that kind
of stuff just amazing, and well, unfortunately his teammates weren't
able to cash in on all of those. Right, you
mentioned D'Angelo Russell wide open three, I mean the way
James drew everybody and then a bullet pass to him
(34:19):
to Russell at the arc and he missed it terribly.
You just saw that time and again. And you know,
we talked about Tilman a little bit. Hotcha, moroau. That's
back to back twenty point games. I thought I saw
our buddy Waki tweet out that's first time that's been
done off the bench for the Lakers, going back to
Magic Johnson when Magic was at his at his end
(34:40):
of his career and coming off the bench. So kind
of kind of some amazing little tidbits mixed therein, but
a grossly missed opportunity and the fact that you can
point to Tillman and then look on the other side
and see Davis's smallesh offensive stats, and I know he
took the blow and he made him bleed his own blood.
You're on the you gotta be accountable, you gotta play better.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Yeah, that's just embarrassing that Xavier Tillman outplays Anthony one point.
I mean, I mean, that's that's embarrassing for the Lakers.
That's absolutely embarrassing.
Speaker 7 (35:12):
Twenty two and thirteen for Tillman.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
And he shot ten out of thirteen from the floor,
and me, come on, man, this is the end. This
is what we have in a game that it could
have ended the series. This is what I mean again,
All game twos not created equal. More big stuff from
the NBA next on Fox
