It's the what you contend is just rosin and sweat.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Great point, Mike, Hey, all we know.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
All we know is what Max Schurzer said. It's rosin
and sweat.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That's because he swore on the lives and eternal souls
of his children.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
How about rosin and sweat? Well, listen, you swear that
that's not That's not how you make pine tar. That's
not how you make that. You don't know that.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
That's say the right spell from page twenty eighty two
of a certain book.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I mean you might get there. You know how to brick,
how to make pine tar? Oh brick, how to make
pine tar using simple tools. It's an eight minute video. Okay,
just so you know. You have to take an axe,
you have to shave off the bark, you have to
take it a pine tree. I mean, you got to
do all these things.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I meane a couple of folks have suggested that perhaps
you just go to where you pick a couple of
pine cones that that have the the sticky to them.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh, that's what Max Schurzer did. He was doing a
project with one of his kids for sexual It involved
taping a pine cone to a piece of to a
piece of construction paper, and he actually got some sly
got some sat so the combination of sap and whatever
kind of glue. Yep, that's what That's what it is.
Right there. There you go, innocent. He can pitch tomorrow.
(03:39):
He's all good to go.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Eighty games.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
He's not getting the needle. He's not getting eighty games.
He'll get ten games. He'll appeal, it'll go down to
five games. He'll because he what wasn't on his hand?
I don't know. But what was it?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I don't know, but it was six more than anything
I've ever experienced in my life.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But really, but what was it? I don't know. Okay,
here you go, five games?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I guess should I swear on my wife and kids?
It wasn't that much. I know what a liar?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Listen, you gotta listen. You can't say stop with that.
You gotta have better detective skills if you need to.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Mas are phenomenal that we have, because the second you
use your wife and kids and you swear on them,
you're guilty.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
That's okay, That is okay, Mike, Am I wrong? Well?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Movie television? I mean, the preponderance of evidence is certainly
law and order. Okay, Yeah, if you chuck it up
to the what probably fifty assorted seasons worth of Law
and Order episodes. Any I swear I didn't do this
invoking either Mom, Grandma or the kids. Yeah, odds are
(04:49):
they're They're going to the Who's gal at the end?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
See, he is a liar.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You have to go by the evidence. The evidence was
an umpire who was the only umpire that has thrown
people out of games for having a sticky hands. Is
a guy that said mats were sticky sticky hand Dame.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Evidence before the court is incontrovertible.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
There's no need for the jury to retire.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
If it wasn't something he shouldn't have been using. Why
did Buck Showalter not go ballistic? Tell me that he
was right there? Tell me why he didn't lose his mind.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
The prosecution would like to call Benny the Bull to
the stand to talk about the stickies. Uh, look, Buck Showalter.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Because he knew Max was eating.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Because Buck Showalter just woke up from a very nice
nap and he needed a coup game. It doesn't matter
some judge, you need a mourning.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Nap, man, I mean send that second cup of coff Hey, dude,
if I have to get up at seven in the
morning for something and.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I get up an I gotta go right back to No.
Once in a while, I have to for something from
maybe to go get a sticky bun like if a
sticky bud keep on get out of bed around nine. Uh,
if I have to get up at seven, whether it's
in morning where I have to take Zoe to school
or we have to take the car in for for something. Yeah.
(06:12):
When I get back home, my wife says, oh, what
do you want to do. I go, I'm gonna go
back to sleep. Yeah, I'm good, I'm good. You don't
want to go out to breakfast or anything? No, no, no, no,
go to sleep. I woke up a little early. I'm
ready to go back to sleep. I can sleep, not
really what you can go down to break If you
if you asked me at any point in the day,
any point in the day, if you said any it
(06:33):
doesn't matter what nine am, midnight, five pm, two thirteen am.
If you said to me, could you go for either
A A nap or B something to eat? I would
say yes every single time, because I would be up
for one of those things all the time, A nap
or something to eat. Yes. There's not a lot of
(06:54):
time when else am I gonna say? I can't go
for a nap or something to eat while you eat. No,
I wish what No, no, no, because then you then
you don't get the you don't feel the uh you
get the feeling of eating and what what it feels like.
I mean, you could get an ivy feed.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
No, liquify the uh, come on, liquify a big mac
for you.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That's why, you know, that's why, that's why I'm That's
why I'm a little nervous about the future when all
these movies where oh, and a meal, you just need
to eat. This little tiny pill will feel like a
seven course meal like in Willy Wonka. Oh, tomato soup
running down my throat. Spit it out, spin it out,
spit it out, violin, spit it out. No. I don't
want that world. I want to be able to taste
and eat stuff. I don't want that world with that.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Either that or the pill makes you crawl to your
car like Leo and.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Here's a meal. Yeah, no, no, no, I don't want that.
If that's the way the Wona Hill is coming around,
I'm out. I don't want it. I don't want it. Uh.
Jason Smith Show with Mike Hartman. Uh, you know the
Lakers lost tonight. They did not play well and they
(08:03):
lose to Memphis, who played well without Ja Morant. Now,
I'm not surprised Memphis has played well without Job because
they've done it before. That had a big run during
the regular season. Last year they played well without him.
We saw him do it in the playoffs. Maybe they
would make a bigger run last year if Jaw was healthy.
So I'm not surprised at home without John Morant that
they did that. They played well. No, I expected that.
(08:24):
I am stunned and it was an epic fail that
the Lakers could not win this game and take control
of the series. Anthony, did you know what the Lakers are?
They looked like they were satisfied with winning the first game.
They had three bleeping days off there, Adam Silver's going, hey,
come on, Darvinham. We gave you guys like four days
off so you guys would be healthy so you could
(08:46):
win game two, so we can have you guys move
on and not the Grizzlies because it's all gonna be
about John Moran and is he doing anything bad? And
in said I want Lebron and a D. We gave
you guys three days off and you show up like
a bunch of stiffs. What the hell? Man, I'm more
mad about this than I was about Draymond Green. I mean, really,
this is such an epic fail the Laker and they
(09:07):
don't play again until Saturday, and they're getting all this
time off. This was such a bit Anthony Davis. They
just they just looked like they had no jump. And
it was one of those games where, hey, we won
the first game, we're all good, Like I get that,
I get in a vacuum. Hey, if it's not our day,
we put it away early and we come back for
the next game. But this game was there, and the
(09:30):
Lakers got run out of the building early, and they
were down fourteen at halftime, and it was that's it.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It's like, how do you let this hap? You could
have been up two sip, you have more days off,
You got two more days off after this, you don't
play again. How do you not come up better than this?
This is such an embarrassment by the Lakers, especially Ad
and D'Angelo Russell. I mean they combined me six for
twenty five from the floor. Man, how are you not
more dominant? How does Ad get outplayed by Xavier Tillman
(09:56):
who goes for twenty two and thirteen on the night.
How does that happen? This was such a fail by
the Lakers, And this is why it's so hard for
me this. I'm like, now i'm every Laker fan. I'm
the Lakers are back to uh now they're not. Now
now I'm of the mind that, hey, they're gonna lose
this series because they just lost their best chance to
get up two zip and the series being over going
back home now you know what, the three days off,
(10:17):
John Moran's could be back for the next game and
it's gonna be even more difficult for the Lakers. I
really I get. I get. I feel like Laker fans
do when I go from yeah, they're great. Now I
understand it. I didn't want to get drawn into it,
but now I understand. It's like invasion of the body snatchers.
Who are all these pod people? Now I get drawn
and now I'm a pod person myself. The Lakers are back,
(10:37):
They're not. Why How did I get involved in this?
I don't know how, but that's how I feel after tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, I think you as we talked about a little
bit earlier in the show the idea that game twos
and splits feel much different, and this one is a
bit confusing. I guess even though Anthony Davis was on
the court for thirty eight minutes, you're not gonna say
max effort gave you max effort.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
No.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Thirty eight did what Rick Buker once referred to as
the Lebron James minutes, and James had some of those
himself first had like the final stats are great, twenty
eight twelve, only three assists, so you circle that when
minus seventeen on the night for Lebron as well, So
the defensive side of things is still lacking, but offensively
(11:23):
slow motion. Going into halftime, I was listening to I
was in the car for a few Gainnis appointment for
the older one, right, so I'm hearing a little bit
of the game as it's going, and I thought our
guy Ireland would have rather been anywhere else in the
world than calling that game. Like it was like you
wanted to text him and ask if he was okay.
(11:44):
That's how lackluster the effort was from the Lakers much
of the first half. And for Lebron James, you know,
body language, you know, we start doing all of that reading,
Dylan Brooks starts getting chesty in him and at one
point poked the bear and the bear poked back, and
then he had nothing left down the stretch, didn't feel it.
Maybe he was conserving that energy for Saturday when they
(12:07):
play again. The hell is this played three games over
seven days. It's ridiculous, but that's the way it works
and gets you into your TV windows. But all five
starters for the Grizzly in double digits in this one,
Tilman the line that you'd say, oh, he can't do
that again, Oh he better or not? Or Anthony Davis
(12:29):
is gonna be run out of town on a rail?
Are you kidding me? Twenty two points ten to thirteen
from the field, including thirteen boards.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, that one. You circle it and go, wow, that
is that's terrible. They only got.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Eleven points off the bench from Roddy in conchar and
then Canard was thirteen and six in his twenty four.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Man blank him.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Wow. So the Lakers back Frostburg or not? I don't know?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
What do you mean? You don't know?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I mean? Are they back about this?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I didn't get the picture of that greasy guy today.
That gift that you love to send me so much,
I didn't have no good appearance.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Number? Who it is? Eight seven seven ninety nine on

He gets out of bed at alone. But what are
you talking about? I'm gonna be honest with you, hones
with you. This is probably my favorite Guns n' Roses
song of all time.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
That's a hot take.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Probably mister Brownstone Out to Get Me. My two favorite
songs were probably mister Brownstone.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Hot Welcome to the Jungle, Rocket Queen and Getting the Ring?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Who I Like Rocket Queen? And this I Love Yeah? See?
Why are you going the obscure stuff that people don't
even know? They're like, what song is that?
Speaker 3 (14:07):

Speaker 1 (14:11):
I thought, Mike, I thought you loved Coma.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Fox Sports Radio. The Jason Smith Show with My best
friend Mike Harmon, well dressed Hobo Frank the Tank, Met's
fan extraordinaire, who joined us on the show tonight, spent
just as much time talking about Whatdy Harrelson's dad as
we did about Mac Chazer. It did get a little
weird there. Well. I tried to make a joke and
(14:58):
he had the data. Yeah, no, he did take that
for dad. I got, I got a story. I would
He's dead bell ja, he had that. That's the whole
other thing going on there. Uh So let me ask
you this now, so Sweat only can you make it
(15:22):
that way?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
You know what they're talking about?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Okay, and Sweat great name for an album or worst
name for a restaurant? Worst name for a restaurant? Pretty good?
Uh name for a band? Okay? I mean would you
go eat it a place called and Sweat?
Speaker 3 (15:42):
I might want to check out what's on the menu.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Don't know that.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I mean I'll at least stop and I'll look to
see what the hell they're selling?
Speaker 1 (15:50):
See I pictures and Sweat being like, that's that's Tyshirt's
place that he opens up? No? Or is it a
place here in the valley? We deserve sweat to drake this.
We got all kinds of sweat jay, let me tell
you jagging, all kinds of people coming in, all my
white stuff come in. They sweat. We put them in
a thing. Wait did we pour it in your water?
It's great. It's all you get the electrolytes back in
from other people. It's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (16:10):
Our favorite memberships is the breath Arian. Yeah. That place
definitely has a B in the front window.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
I think you a subscription to where you get to
hang out and look at grogu What you were just
suggesting there?
Speaker 4 (16:27):
What if you switch it up? Though? It's called Sweat
and Rosin Ooh.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Sweat and Rosin sweat and right now, I think Rosin
and Sweat sounds better a sweat in the San Fernando Valley.
We are, we are, we are no. So I don't
look I sweat and more sweat. I don't know that
i'd want to see a movie called Sweat and Rosin.
I don't know if i'd want to see that either.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
Mike would probably nap in it.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
The Sweat and Rosins Sweat and rocks judge me sounds like, hey,
did you hear Beato Blink Win eighty two has got
a big comeback album called Sweat and Rosin. Oh man,
it's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
The headline.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Yeah, now that Frank Ocean quit all the wet and
Rosin got himself kicked out.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Listen, Max Sures are cheat or known cheater? Now Max
Sures are sweat Rosin. Is it his fault if Sweat
and Rosin makes spider tack? I don't think that is.
I don't think that's his fault.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I did that's fault.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I think that's just nature.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
He's in the cheating books now with the twenty seventeen
astros I don't think that.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
And you know what, just like the people up in Sacramento.
He can't bring a cow bell to a game.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Either. Yeah, but you know, but here's the thing. Look
thinking about this with the before we get to Draymond Green.
Just think about this for a second. All the pitchers
who have been accused of using spider tack or all
these different things and whatever they're using over the courts,
bed like pine tar, all of these things. Right, major
League Baseball's cleaning up the game and they're trying to
go through and make sure nothing illegal is being used. Right, Okay,
(18:04):
I get it. Have any pitchers fallen off the planet?
Have any pictures fallen off the ledge going all of
a sudden they go from boy, this guy went from
twenty one and six to six and seventeen. His era
is seven and a half. No, they haven't. They figured
it out because whatever they were using it for, hey,
they were able to get around it. So it's not
like suddenly this guy was a Hall of Famer. Now
(18:25):
he's got a lot of batters will say, hey, I
don't mind if guys use spider tack or something to
help them grip the ball, because I don't want to
run away fastball to hit me in the head. I'm
okay with that, but nobody has falling off the cliff.
Nobody has gone from Oh, let's see how this guy
is now without Spider. Garrett Cole, who was the guy
who said, Yeah, I don't know about Spider. He's still
(18:47):
really bleeping good. I don't think anything's happened to him.
Pitchers are still fine, Everybody is still throwing fine. Max
Sure's are still gonna be great. Suspension, but he was fine.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Maybe statistically they'll be the outlier to where things go
off the rails, and look at Max, is that guy
just like Verlanders, never gonna pitch for your swad.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Max Schuerzer hasn't retired a batter since Wednesday, April nineteenth,
Happy fourth of July, is still trying to figure it
out with the bets. His era is eighty nine and
a half. No, he'll be fine, all the pitches. Everybody
will be fine. Max chuers will be fine. Everything will
be fine again. Ten game suspension, but he'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Eighty eighty.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
He's not getting it's not happening with it ishancing though,
where do we draw the line? It is? It is?
Where do we draw the line on these kinds of things? Obviously,
his performance was not enhanced because he got thrown out
of the game, so there was no enhancement. It was
actually dhancement. What do they do for betters if he
gets himselfected? He costs people money? Yes, because he was cheating. Lawyer, Listen,
(19:52):
you tell Bradley Beal what it's like. You lose money.
You lose money, man, what do you want from me? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
But at least he put up an effort. This guy
cheated and got thrown out.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Nah, I'd be a great defense lawyer. You kidding. I
would just I would just dazzle with all the words
that I have. Are you I wouldn't even have to
try the case or practice law. I would even need
to object or anything. Give me an opening argument and
a closing on.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I don't even know that sweating and and make pine tar.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
That's all I need. Sweat and ross don't make pine tar.
Everything that guy just said is bull blank. Wait what
that's all I gotta say? N I'd be the best, uh,
because people don't remember about stuff like forensic evidence and
DNA possible. But nah, I would just have to say
I just give him. I just dazzle and I've gone
to tell him some fun story. They go, Ah, I
don't know if this guy's innocent or guilty, but I
(20:36):
like that defense lawyer because he told that really funny
story about the Mets and why oral Hrscheiser hates him.
So yeah, I'm gonna vote not guilty, or you could
get dazzled.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
He's gonna dazzle you with tales of celebrities and sports
luminaries that hate him.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
That's not a myriad reasons.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
He's gonna tell you how a driver once tried to
get him to shake down the commissioner of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
It'll tell you how he.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Interviewed people while boiling out a red carpet in in
the Los Angeles heat for a fake award show.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
He's gonna tell you all of this. But that doesn't
that doesn't negate the facts that Max Schurzer was caught
cheating and Dawson and Downey did it. Those are the
facts of the case. They are undisputed. Now let's get
to Draymond Green while Max Schurzer continues to wait for
his day in court with Daniel Caffey waade it the
(21:30):
just just like Max Shuser, Man, I went, I washed
my hands with alcohol, just like Max Schurzer does, and
my hands got really sticky. I don't know what happened.
I tried to make sure it positive. What do you
think I'm rich hill? Come on, man, I went and
I washed my hands. I used alcohol, and my hand's
got really sticky. I don't know what happened. Do you
think they put alcohol?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I saw someone down in San Diego Way talking about
the idea that maybe there's alcohol on their pants so
they can get the sticky stuff on before the inning,
pitch their inning and then rubbed on the pant leg
to get the stick.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Maybe that works. I can see people doing that. I'm
just dipping, just dipping my pants and alchemy.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And he's literally a he's two of five soaking wet today.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
He really know and really is soaking wet. But boy,
why is not just alcohol? It's fine. Just let him
go pitch, let him picture. Everything is good. Speaking no,
I think then you would see there would be video
of the picture walking off the mountain frantically rubbing his
hand on his pant You can do it, you know,
it's pretty slyly. Hey, nice catch out there. I touched
(22:46):
my eyes.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
He had jalapenos on his nachosen between innings.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You know, like I swear in my kids lives. That's
all it was. Hey, you gotta be you gotta be innocent.
If you're swearing, you're lives. Man. You don't kid and
your wife. Man, you don't want to bring that bad
karma back on you. Come on, man, you kid. No, no, no, no.
Church is just fine. Ten game suspension and then everything
will be just fine. Trust me, You'll be absolutely fine.
We have some big stuff coming out of the NBA,
(23:16):
including the fact that likely the Golden State Warriors listen
to our show.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
But first be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern,
seven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
This is a big deal out of Oakland, and now
it looks like the A's have gone over. They have
hit the point of no return, and it looks like
they're going to wind up going to Las Vegas. As
you heard, they're about to enter this binding agreement with
Las Vegas to with the second team from Oakland moving
to Vegas, so the Oakland Vegas rivalry will continue. But
(23:51):
this quote this from the Nevada Independent. This quote from
the Mayor of Oakland, courtesy of Sarahravanni, who is reporter
for the San Francis Chronicle. I'm going to read you
some of the statement that the mayor has put out
about what's going on with their negotiations with Oakland and
the A's. The city has gone above and beyond in
(24:14):
our attempts to arrive at mutually beneficial terms to keep
the A's in Oakland. In the last three months, we've
made significant strides to close the deal. Yet it is
clear to me that the A's have no intention of
staying in Oakland and have simply been using this process
to try to extract a better deal out of Las Vegas.
I am not interested in continuing to play that game.
(24:35):
The fans and our residents deserve better. She then goes
on to discuss and outline that they have secured a
fully entitled site and three hundred and seventy five million
dollars in new infrastructure investment that's going to benefit Oakland
and the Port of Oakland. So they have this money
is basically is what the mayor is saying, we have
this money that we're going to do this on Shehan
(24:56):
Tau saying we have three hundred and seventy five million dollars,
finishing her statement with this quote, in a time of
budget deficits, I refuse to compromise the safety and well
being of our residents. Given these realities, we are ceasing
negotiations and moving forward on alternatives for the redevelopment of
Howard Terminal. So she's saying that we try to negotiate
(25:19):
with the A's, they just want a better deal out
of Vegas. We're not doing anymore. All this money, all
this money we have for infrastructure, We're now going to
push it someplace else. Howard Terminal, the Bay, Oakland and
its port. This is what we're gonna take this money on.
The A's are gone. I mean not that you didn't
know this was coming, but this is the night, this
(25:39):
moment in time, right now, ten thirty seven pm. The
A's are We're gonna talk about Draymond Green. It's another
story for Oakland in a couple of minutes. But the
A's are gonna be gone, and this is where it's going.
And quite honestly, I can't say that this isn't the
best for the best outcome. When you consider where the
A's have been. They don't draw fans, they're not you know,
(26:02):
they're not very good. The stadium was terrible. They couldn't
they couldn't figure out a way to get a new
stadium that would bring new fans in. It was just stagnating.
The A's were in Oakland only because they had always
been in Oakland. And I'm sorry, but that's kind of
how it goes when you need a new ballpark. You
need a ballpark. Man, new ballpark's gonna bring people in.
People come back, You spend money, They want to come there.
(26:23):
Who wants to go? You visit Oakland as a free agent,
You're gonna go there. He where's all the possums? Oh man,
they're here and here and here and here and here.
Uh what else am I doing on my visit? We're
gonna let you watch Moneyball and that's gonna be your
visit to Oakland. But what just stay in the hotel
and we'll have to stay in San Francisco. I will
stay there, stay in the hotel, watch Moneyball, and then
we'll see if you want to sign with us. So really,
it's almost like the A's time in Oakland has just
(26:46):
come to its natural, inevitable conclusion when you're not drawing fans.
You're not winning, you're not doing anything else. Yeah, somebody
else is gonna come in and say we have a
better deal for you. And if somebody else gives you
a better deal, that's what you're gonna go do. And
Vegas has proven with the Raiders, we can win, we
can we can draw fans, we can bring people into
(27:07):
a non traditional market. Because you didn't know how they
were gonna draw, how things are gonna go in Vegas.
You're bringing football in. That's great, but you know, all right,
but this is no additional football market, you know. You
see you see the charges with difficulty moving to La
from San Diego. So you didn't know how it was
gonna go. But this has gone really well. And now
the Oaklandagas are going. Okay, it worked for uh, it
(27:28):
worked for the Raiders, now it's gonna wind up working
for us. This is just part of the natural evolution
of sports, and this story is getting to its inevitable conclusion.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, I mean, it's it's the difficulty of you got
to recognize what you are as a as a city,
what kind of funds are available. I mean, let's face it,
it becomes a really good political jumping off point I
don't know when people are getting their re election campaigns flowing,
but certainly saying we're gonna chronicle the safety of things,
(27:59):
and we're going to to build infrastructure. We're gonna do
all this thing to build up our city. In an
age where you've got report after report, whether it's my
hometown of Chicago, stuff out of New York where you're
hiring a rat czar, or up in San Francisco where
it's just video after video of looting and whatever else
(28:20):
that comes through.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
It's all the negativity.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
So from a political standpoint, saying yeah, we're not going
to the frivolity and taking your hard earned dollars and.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Putting it into a ballpark.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Instead, we're going to ramp up security, we're gonna ramp
up job opportunities, whatever I mean. It's a great political
stump speech while also making the point of you haven't
been able to figure out how to get the private
investment to make it work. The only time you really draw,
or when you have the Yankees in town, or you're
doing a giveaway and even then you sell tickets, they
(28:54):
get the giveaway and they get back on bart and
go home. The stadium has been a hole since I
lived up there in the late nineties into the early
two thousands.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
You went, you.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Had fun because you were watching your squad watching a
baseball or a football game. But going into that ballpark
it was trash. And that's a long time ago. And
that was before the plumbing got even worse and became
the problem. And then obviously you with your mets in town,
you had the possum thing. That's really going next level
(29:27):
in terms of taking over the broadcast booth and what
Keith Nandez and company had to do, or I think
it was Ron Darling actually where they said they had
to broadcast because the stench was so bad. Yeah, good
political move and an inevitability. So hasten the process, get
it built.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
Great point, Mike, Hey, all we know.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
All we know is what Max Schurzer said. It's rosin
and sweat.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
That's because he swore on the lives and eternal souls
of his children.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
How about rosin and sweat? Well, listen, you swear that
that's not That's not how you make pine tar. That's
not how you make that. You don't know that.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
That's say the right spell from page twenty eighty two
of a certain book.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I mean you might get there. You know how to brick,
how to make pine tar? Oh brick, how to make
pine tar using simple tools. It's an eight minute video. Okay,
just so you know. You have to take an axe,
you have to shave off the bark, you have to
take it a pine tree. I mean, you got to
do all these things.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I meane a couple of folks have suggested that perhaps
you just go to where you pick a couple of
pine cones that that have the the sticky to them.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh, that's what Max Schurzer did. He was doing a
project with one of his kids for sexual It involved
taping a pine cone to a piece of to a
piece of construction paper, and he actually got some sly
got some sat so the combination of sap and whatever
kind of glue. Yep, that's what That's what it is.
Right there. There you go, innocent. He can pitch tomorrow.
(03:39):
He's all good to go.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Eighty games.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
He's not getting the needle. He's not getting eighty games.
He'll get ten games. He'll appeal, it'll go down to
five games. He'll because he what wasn't on his hand?
I don't know. But what was it?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
I don't know, but it was six more than anything
I've ever experienced in my life.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
But really, but what was it? I don't know. Okay,
here you go, five games?
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I guess should I swear on my wife and kids?
It wasn't that much. I know what a liar?
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Listen, you gotta listen. You can't say stop with that.
You gotta have better detective skills if you need to.
Speaker 5 (04:15):
Mas are phenomenal that we have, because the second you
use your wife and kids and you swear on them,
you're guilty.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
That's okay, That is okay, Mike, Am I wrong? Well?
Speaker 3 (04:27):
Movie television? I mean, the preponderance of evidence is certainly
law and order. Okay, Yeah, if you chuck it up
to the what probably fifty assorted seasons worth of Law
and Order episodes. Any I swear I didn't do this
invoking either Mom, Grandma or the kids. Yeah, odds are
(04:49):
they're They're going to the Who's gal at the end?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
See, he is a liar.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
You have to go by the evidence. The evidence was
an umpire who was the only umpire that has thrown
people out of games for having a sticky hands. Is
a guy that said mats were sticky sticky hand Dame.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Evidence before the court is incontrovertible.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
There's no need for the jury to retire.
Speaker 5 (05:18):
If it wasn't something he shouldn't have been using. Why
did Buck Showalter not go ballistic? Tell me that he
was right there? Tell me why he didn't lose his mind.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
The prosecution would like to call Benny the Bull to
the stand to talk about the stickies. Uh, look, Buck Showalter.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Because he knew Max was eating.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Because Buck Showalter just woke up from a very nice
nap and he needed a coup game. It doesn't matter
some judge, you need a mourning.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Nap, man, I mean send that second cup of coff Hey, dude,
if I have to get up at seven in the
morning for something and.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I get up an I gotta go right back to No.
Once in a while, I have to for something from
maybe to go get a sticky bun like if a
sticky bud keep on get out of bed around nine. Uh,
if I have to get up at seven, whether it's
in morning where I have to take Zoe to school
or we have to take the car in for for something. Yeah.
(06:12):
When I get back home, my wife says, oh, what
do you want to do. I go, I'm gonna go
back to sleep. Yeah, I'm good, I'm good. You don't
want to go out to breakfast or anything? No, no, no, no,
go to sleep. I woke up a little early. I'm
ready to go back to sleep. I can sleep, not
really what you can go down to break If you
if you asked me at any point in the day,
any point in the day, if you said any it
(06:33):
doesn't matter what nine am, midnight, five pm, two thirteen am.
If you said to me, could you go for either
A A nap or B something to eat? I would
say yes every single time, because I would be up
for one of those things all the time, A nap
or something to eat. Yes. There's not a lot of
(06:54):
time when else am I gonna say? I can't go
for a nap or something to eat while you eat. No,
I wish what No, no, no, because then you then
you don't get the you don't feel the uh you
get the feeling of eating and what what it feels like.
I mean, you could get an ivy feed.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
No, liquify the uh, come on, liquify a big mac
for you.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
That's why, you know, that's why, that's why I'm That's
why I'm a little nervous about the future when all
these movies where oh, and a meal, you just need
to eat. This little tiny pill will feel like a
seven course meal like in Willy Wonka. Oh, tomato soup
running down my throat. Spit it out, spin it out,
spit it out, violin, spit it out. No. I don't
want that world. I want to be able to taste
and eat stuff. I don't want that world with that.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
Either that or the pill makes you crawl to your
car like Leo and.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Here's a meal. Yeah, no, no, no, I don't want that.
If that's the way the Wona Hill is coming around,
I'm out. I don't want it. I don't want it. Uh.
Jason Smith Show with Mike Hartman. Uh, you know the
Lakers lost tonight. They did not play well and they
(08:03):
lose to Memphis, who played well without Ja Morant. Now,
I'm not surprised Memphis has played well without Job because
they've done it before. That had a big run during
the regular season. Last year they played well without him.
We saw him do it in the playoffs. Maybe they
would make a bigger run last year if Jaw was healthy.
So I'm not surprised at home without John Morant that
they did that. They played well. No, I expected that.
(08:24):
I am stunned and it was an epic fail that
the Lakers could not win this game and take control
of the series. Anthony, did you know what the Lakers are?
They looked like they were satisfied with winning the first game.
They had three bleeping days off there, Adam Silver's going, hey,
come on, Darvinham. We gave you guys like four days
off so you guys would be healthy so you could
(08:46):
win game two, so we can have you guys move
on and not the Grizzlies because it's all gonna be
about John Moran and is he doing anything bad? And
in said I want Lebron and a D. We gave
you guys three days off and you show up like
a bunch of stiffs. What the hell? Man, I'm more
mad about this than I was about Draymond Green. I mean, really,
this is such an epic fail the Laker and they
(09:07):
don't play again until Saturday, and they're getting all this
time off. This was such a bit Anthony Davis. They
just they just looked like they had no jump. And
it was one of those games where, hey, we won
the first game, we're all good, Like I get that,
I get in a vacuum. Hey, if it's not our day,
we put it away early and we come back for
the next game. But this game was there, and the
(09:30):
Lakers got run out of the building early, and they
were down fourteen at halftime, and it was that's it.
Speaker 5 (09:35):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It's like, how do you let this hap? You could
have been up two sip, you have more days off,
You got two more days off after this, you don't
play again. How do you not come up better than this?
This is such an embarrassment by the Lakers, especially Ad
and D'Angelo Russell. I mean they combined me six for
twenty five from the floor. Man, how are you not
more dominant? How does Ad get outplayed by Xavier Tillman
(09:56):
who goes for twenty two and thirteen on the night.
How does that happen? This was such a fail by
the Lakers, And this is why it's so hard for
me this. I'm like, now i'm every Laker fan. I'm
the Lakers are back to uh now they're not. Now
now I'm of the mind that, hey, they're gonna lose
this series because they just lost their best chance to
get up two zip and the series being over going
back home now you know what, the three days off,
(10:17):
John Moran's could be back for the next game and
it's gonna be even more difficult for the Lakers. I
really I get. I get. I feel like Laker fans
do when I go from yeah, they're great. Now I
understand it. I didn't want to get drawn into it,
but now I understand. It's like invasion of the body snatchers.
Who are all these pod people? Now I get drawn
and now I'm a pod person myself. The Lakers are back,
(10:37):
They're not. Why How did I get involved in this?
I don't know how, but that's how I feel after tonight.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yeah, I think you as we talked about a little
bit earlier in the show the idea that game twos
and splits feel much different, and this one is a
bit confusing. I guess even though Anthony Davis was on
the court for thirty eight minutes, you're not gonna say
max effort gave you max effort.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
No.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
Thirty eight did what Rick Buker once referred to as
the Lebron James minutes, and James had some of those
himself first had like the final stats are great, twenty
eight twelve, only three assists, so you circle that when
minus seventeen on the night for Lebron as well, So
the defensive side of things is still lacking, but offensively
(11:23):
slow motion. Going into halftime, I was listening to I
was in the car for a few Gainnis appointment for
the older one, right, so I'm hearing a little bit
of the game as it's going, and I thought our
guy Ireland would have rather been anywhere else in the
world than calling that game. Like it was like you
wanted to text him and ask if he was okay.
(11:44):
That's how lackluster the effort was from the Lakers much
of the first half. And for Lebron James, you know,
body language, you know, we start doing all of that reading,
Dylan Brooks starts getting chesty in him and at one
point poked the bear and the bear poked back, and
then he had nothing left down the stretch, didn't feel it.
Maybe he was conserving that energy for Saturday when they
(12:07):
play again. The hell is this played three games over
seven days. It's ridiculous, but that's the way it works
and gets you into your TV windows. But all five
starters for the Grizzly in double digits in this one,
Tilman the line that you'd say, oh, he can't do
that again, Oh he better or not? Or Anthony Davis
(12:29):
is gonna be run out of town on a rail?
Are you kidding me? Twenty two points ten to thirteen
from the field, including thirteen boards.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Yeah, that one. You circle it and go, wow, that
is that's terrible. They only got.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
Eleven points off the bench from Roddy in conchar and
then Canard was thirteen and six in his twenty four.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Man blank him.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Wow. So the Lakers back Frostburg or not? I don't know?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
What do you mean? You don't know?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
I mean? Are they back about this?
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I didn't get the picture of that greasy guy today.
That gift that you love to send me so much,
I didn't have no good appearance.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Number? Who it is? Eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox eight seven seven nine nine six sixty three six

with you. This is probably my favorite Guns n' Roses
song of all time.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
That's a hot take.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Probably mister Brownstone Out to Get Me. My two favorite
songs were probably mister Brownstone.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Hot Welcome to the Jungle, Rocket Queen and Getting the Ring?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Who I Like Rocket Queen? And this I Love Yeah? See?
Why are you going the obscure stuff that people don't
even know? They're like, what song is that?

Listen, Max Sures are cheat or known cheater? Now Max
Sures are sweat Rosin. Is it his fault if Sweat
and Rosin makes spider tack? I don't think that is.
I don't think that's his fault.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
I did that's fault.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
I think that's just nature.
Speaker 5 (17:31):
He's in the cheating books now with the twenty seventeen
astros I don't think that.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
And you know what, just like the people up in Sacramento.
He can't bring a cow bell to a game.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Either. Yeah, but you know, but here's the thing. Look
thinking about this with the before we get to Draymond Green.
Just think about this for a second. All the pitchers
who have been accused of using spider tack or all
these different things and whatever they're using over the courts,
bed like pine tar, all of these things. Right, major
League Baseball's cleaning up the game and they're trying to
go through and make sure nothing illegal is being used. Right, Okay,
(18:04):
I get it. Have any pitchers fallen off the planet?
Have any pictures fallen off the ledge going all of
a sudden they go from boy, this guy went from
twenty one and six to six and seventeen. His era
is seven and a half. No, they haven't. They figured
it out because whatever they were using it for, hey,
they were able to get around it. So it's not
like suddenly this guy was a Hall of Famer. Now
(18:25):
he's got a lot of batters will say, hey, I
don't mind if guys use spider tack or something to
help them grip the ball, because I don't want to
run away fastball to hit me in the head. I'm
okay with that, but nobody has falling off the cliff.
Nobody has gone from Oh, let's see how this guy
is now without Spider. Garrett Cole, who was the guy
who said, Yeah, I don't know about Spider. He's still
(18:47):
really bleeping good. I don't think anything's happened to him.
Pitchers are still fine, Everybody is still throwing fine. Max
Sure's are still gonna be great. Suspension, but he was fine.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Maybe statistically they'll be the outlier to where things go
off the rails, and look at Max, is that guy
just like Verlanders, never gonna pitch for your swad.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Max Schuerzer hasn't retired a batter since Wednesday, April nineteenth,
Happy fourth of July, is still trying to figure it
out with the bets. His era is eighty nine and
a half. No, he'll be fine, all the pitches. Everybody
will be fine. Max chuers will be fine. Everything will
be fine again. Ten game suspension, but he'll be fine.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Eighty eighty.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
He's not getting it's not happening with it ishancing though,
where do we draw the line? It is? It is?
Where do we draw the line on these kinds of things? Obviously,
his performance was not enhanced because he got thrown out
of the game, so there was no enhancement. It was
actually dhancement. What do they do for betters if he
gets himselfected? He costs people money? Yes, because he was cheating. Lawyer, Listen,
(19:52):
you tell Bradley Beal what it's like. You lose money.
You lose money, man, what do you want from me? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (19:56):
But at least he put up an effort. This guy
cheated and got thrown out.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Nah, I'd be a great defense lawyer. You kidding. I
would just I would just dazzle with all the words
that I have. Are you I wouldn't even have to
try the case or practice law. I would even need
to object or anything. Give me an opening argument and
a closing on.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
I don't even know that sweating and and make pine tar.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
That's all I need. Sweat and ross don't make pine tar.
Everything that guy just said is bull blank. Wait what
that's all I gotta say? N I'd be the best, uh,
because people don't remember about stuff like forensic evidence and
DNA possible. But nah, I would just have to say
I just give him. I just dazzle and I've gone
to tell him some fun story. They go, Ah, I
don't know if this guy's innocent or guilty, but I
(20:36):
like that defense lawyer because he told that really funny
story about the Mets and why oral Hrscheiser hates him.
So yeah, I'm gonna vote not guilty, or you could
get dazzled.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
He's gonna dazzle you with tales of celebrities and sports
luminaries that hate him.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
That's not a myriad reasons.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
He's gonna tell you how a driver once tried to
get him to shake down the commissioner of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
It'll tell you how he.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Interviewed people while boiling out a red carpet in in
the Los Angeles heat for a fake award show.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
He's gonna tell you all of this. But that doesn't
that doesn't negate the facts that Max Schurzer was caught
cheating and Dawson and Downey did it. Those are the
facts of the case. They are undisputed. Now let's get
to Draymond Green while Max Schurzer continues to wait for
his day in court with Daniel Caffey waade it the
(21:30):
just just like Max Shuser, Man, I went, I washed
my hands with alcohol, just like Max Schurzer does, and
my hands got really sticky. I don't know what happened.
I tried to make sure it positive. What do you
think I'm rich hill? Come on, man, I went and
I washed my hands. I used alcohol, and my hand's
got really sticky. I don't know what happened. Do you
think they put alcohol?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
I saw someone down in San Diego Way talking about
the idea that maybe there's alcohol on their pants so
they can get the sticky stuff on before the inning,
pitch their inning and then rubbed on the pant leg
to get the stick.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
Maybe that works. I can see people doing that. I'm
just dipping, just dipping my pants and alchemy.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And he's literally a he's two of five soaking wet today.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
He really know and really is soaking wet. But boy,
why is not just alcohol? It's fine. Just let him
go pitch, let him picture. Everything is good. Speaking no,
I think then you would see there would be video
of the picture walking off the mountain frantically rubbing his
hand on his pant You can do it, you know,
it's pretty slyly. Hey, nice catch out there. I touched
(22:46):
my eyes.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
He had jalapenos on his nachosen between innings.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
You know, like I swear in my kids lives. That's
all it was. Hey, you gotta be you gotta be innocent.
If you're swearing, you're lives. Man. You don't kid and
your wife. Man, you don't want to bring that bad
karma back on you. Come on, man, you kid. No, no, no, no.
Church is just fine. Ten game suspension and then everything
will be just fine. Trust me, You'll be absolutely fine.
We have some big stuff coming out of the NBA,
(23:16):
including the fact that likely the Golden State Warriors listen
to our show.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
But first be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern,
seven pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
This is a big deal out of Oakland, and now
it looks like the A's have gone over. They have
hit the point of no return, and it looks like
they're going to wind up going to Las Vegas. As
you heard, they're about to enter this binding agreement with
Las Vegas to with the second team from Oakland moving
to Vegas, so the Oakland Vegas rivalry will continue. But
(23:51):
this quote this from the Nevada Independent. This quote from
the Mayor of Oakland, courtesy of Sarahravanni, who is reporter
for the San Francis Chronicle. I'm going to read you
some of the statement that the mayor has put out
about what's going on with their negotiations with Oakland and
the A's. The city has gone above and beyond in
(24:14):
our attempts to arrive at mutually beneficial terms to keep
the A's in Oakland. In the last three months, we've
made significant strides to close the deal. Yet it is
clear to me that the A's have no intention of
staying in Oakland and have simply been using this process
to try to extract a better deal out of Las Vegas.
I am not interested in continuing to play that game.
(24:35):
The fans and our residents deserve better. She then goes
on to discuss and outline that they have secured a
fully entitled site and three hundred and seventy five million
dollars in new infrastructure investment that's going to benefit Oakland
and the Port of Oakland. So they have this money
is basically is what the mayor is saying, we have
this money that we're going to do this on Shehan
(24:56):
Tau saying we have three hundred and seventy five million dollars,
finishing her statement with this quote, in a time of
budget deficits, I refuse to compromise the safety and well
being of our residents. Given these realities, we are ceasing
negotiations and moving forward on alternatives for the redevelopment of
Howard Terminal. So she's saying that we try to negotiate
(25:19):
with the A's, they just want a better deal out
of Vegas. We're not doing anymore. All this money, all
this money we have for infrastructure, We're now going to
push it someplace else. Howard Terminal, the Bay, Oakland and
its port. This is what we're gonna take this money on.
The A's are gone. I mean not that you didn't
know this was coming, but this is the night, this
(25:39):
moment in time, right now, ten thirty seven pm. The
A's are We're gonna talk about Draymond Green. It's another
story for Oakland in a couple of minutes. But the
A's are gonna be gone, and this is where it's going.
And quite honestly, I can't say that this isn't the
best for the best outcome. When you consider where the
A's have been. They don't draw fans, they're not you know,
(26:02):
they're not very good. The stadium was terrible. They couldn't
they couldn't figure out a way to get a new
stadium that would bring new fans in. It was just stagnating.
The A's were in Oakland only because they had always
been in Oakland. And I'm sorry, but that's kind of
how it goes when you need a new ballpark. You
need a ballpark. Man, new ballpark's gonna bring people in.
People come back, You spend money, They want to come there.
(26:23):
Who wants to go? You visit Oakland as a free agent,
You're gonna go there. He where's all the possums? Oh man,
they're here and here and here and here and here.
Uh what else am I doing on my visit? We're
gonna let you watch Moneyball and that's gonna be your
visit to Oakland. But what just stay in the hotel
and we'll have to stay in San Francisco. I will
stay there, stay in the hotel, watch Moneyball, and then
we'll see if you want to sign with us. So really,
it's almost like the A's time in Oakland has just
(26:46):
come to its natural, inevitable conclusion when you're not drawing fans.
You're not winning, you're not doing anything else. Yeah, somebody
else is gonna come in and say we have a
better deal for you. And if somebody else gives you
a better deal, that's what you're gonna go do. And
Vegas has proven with the Raiders, we can win, we
can we can draw fans, we can bring people into
(27:07):
a non traditional market. Because you didn't know how they
were gonna draw, how things are gonna go in Vegas.
You're bringing football in. That's great, but you know, all right,
but this is no additional football market, you know. You
see you see the charges with difficulty moving to La
from San Diego. So you didn't know how it was
gonna go. But this has gone really well. And now
the Oaklandagas are going. Okay, it worked for uh, it
(27:28):
worked for the Raiders, now it's gonna wind up working
for us. This is just part of the natural evolution
of sports, and this story is getting to its inevitable conclusion.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, I mean, it's it's the difficulty of you got
to recognize what you are as a as a city,
what kind of funds are available. I mean, let's face it,
it becomes a really good political jumping off point I
don't know when people are getting their re election campaigns flowing,
but certainly saying we're gonna chronicle the safety of things,
(27:59):
and we're going to to build infrastructure. We're gonna do
all this thing to build up our city. In an
age where you've got report after report, whether it's my
hometown of Chicago, stuff out of New York where you're
hiring a rat czar, or up in San Francisco where
it's just video after video of looting and whatever else
(28:20):
that comes through.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
It's all the negativity.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
So from a political standpoint, saying yeah, we're not going
to the frivolity and taking your hard earned dollars and.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
Putting it into a ballpark.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Instead, we're going to ramp up security, we're gonna ramp
up job opportunities, whatever I mean. It's a great political
stump speech while also making the point of you haven't
been able to figure out how to get the private
investment to make it work. The only time you really draw,
or when you have the Yankees in town, or you're
doing a giveaway and even then you sell tickets, they
(28:54):
get the giveaway and they get back on bart and
go home. The stadium has been a hole since I
lived up there in the late nineties into the early
two thousands.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
You went, you.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Had fun because you were watching your squad watching a
baseball or a football game. But going into that ballpark
it was trash. And that's a long time ago. And
that was before the plumbing got even worse and became
the problem. And then obviously you with your mets in town,
you had the possum thing. That's really going next level
(29:27):
in terms of taking over the broadcast booth and what
Keith Nandez and company had to do, or I think
it was Ron Darling actually where they said they had
to broadcast because the stench was so bad. Yeah, good
political move and an inevitability. So hasten the process, get
it built.
