Speaker 1 (02:15):
That's not a drop. That's just a sho that's not
it's just the thing you say. That's not really a drop. Well,
you kind of just become a drop.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
That's my protest for it not becoming a drop, given
the number of times it's been said over the last day.
Speaker 1 (02:28):

the Hawks. Yeah, Trey Young goes for thirty two, but
make no mistake. The Marquee game happening right now, early
in the third quarter. It is in HDTV, it's in
regular television, it is in every way you want to
consume this product. The Knicks looking for a two games
(03:10):
to one lead in their first round series with the
Cavaliers up fifty six to forty two. RJ. Barrett, who
was still in the NBA despite what people say about
him online, sixteen points, Donovan Mitchell twenty or twelve rather
for Cleveland MSG is rocking. This is a fun night,
Mike Harmon. We got big time stuff going on, We
got NHL play, we got everything happening tonight, and we're
(03:32):
less than a week away from the draft. Now it's
all happening for us. Well, that's it.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Next week the WWE Superstars will be split between Raw
and SmackDown. The draft has been reinstated. Oh you meant
the NFL Draft. Yeah, and then we'll see you. You
just scare a lot of people. The draft has been reinstated.
It's not what he means. It's not what he means.
We're talking about the NFL, WWE Draft returns and then
(03:58):
obviously the NFL Draft. The countdown to you melting down
in the new Fox Sports Radios studio with cameras on
and watching you sweat as no trade for Rogers is announced. Yeah,
we're a week less than a week away from that
momentous occasion. By the way, if I didn't have to
watch this game for work, I'd be watching the paint.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Dry on on my wall. I mean, this is if
you were. If you weren't watching the knicksud be up
by forty. You're doing something to my team. That's kind
of what you're doing.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Well, they suck and Darius Garland basically gave up, you know,
one of those you gotta save him for Game three.
He did say that he for Game three because he's
been awful. Now you mentioned Draft Night and of course
being less than a week out from the draft, don't
miss Draft Night Live right here on Fox Sports Radio
(04:49):
next Thursday night, eight pm Eastern throughout the first round
of the Draft. That's right, Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen.
We will directly follow the Draft Show next Thursday, right
when the first round concludes flea midnight Eastern, nine pm Pacific.
But speaking of the Draft Show, it's insider Jay Glazer,
former Cardinals GM Steve Kahn, College Football Hall of Famer,
LeVar Arrington, Big Nude Kickoff, Rob Stone, who will have
(05:11):
picked by pick, predictions and reactions to every first round pick.
That's next Thursday, eight pm Eastern throughout the first round

a jet. Everybody will be happy. I have six more
nights of Aaron Rodgers, Eve. It's very exciting.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Mike Carmen.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
How are you gonna celebrate? Do you have a countdown?
I mean, are there chocolates laid out.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
For each night?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
You have a special outfit, you know, know, wear special pajamas
for that final night when you expect him to come
down the chimney.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
No, what's the deal. I haven't worn pajamas in years, man,
I mean it's I get too hot. I get two IDEs. No,
no pajamas night, No pajamas.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
A right, as long as you're not doing a Jamie's tart,
because nobody needs no pajama.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Why you got no clothes on the bottom cause I
get because I get hot on the bottom and cool
up top. Okay, So again, Happy Aaron Rodgers, Eve. Because
this could be the day before Aaron Rodgers finally becomes
a New York jet.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
It could also be the day you almost caught Captain
Jack spare for me.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Lots of things can happen, true, right, But if it
doesn't happen tonight, it could happen the next day and
that is and then it's Aaron Rodgers Eve again and
we're good to go.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Well, that means you're getting your cardio every day because
you're getting your hopes up and eat, blood pressure starts
to elevate, and maybe you get on. It's like being
on a treadmill without actually doing any of the work.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah. See that's what I like. See if I can
get a treadmill and not actually have to do work,
I would like that. That would be pretty good.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Well, I mean you can trap your legs in and
hit a button and it'll do it mechanically to where
you're not really making the effort. Your body's doing the motion,
but you're really not actively participating.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, the pounds all fall off without actually having to
do anything. It is fantastic.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Or you inch closer over the course of an hour
towards your desired sandwich. It's like, oh, how much longer
sandwich looks so far away? Twenty minute remaining, twenty minutes remaining,
you've burned off almost two thirds of the calories.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
That you will ingest mere moments from now. You see
what I did, I see what he does. I see
who he did, I see who he did bad value.
So we will have more on the NBA playoffs ro
out the night. Again, it's a it's a three game night, right.
We got Denver in Minnesota early in the first quarter.
Denver's up by five, twenty eight, twenty three. So we'll
have more on on the three games coming up. But
(07:30):
another big injury today in the NBA, And again I
go back to what I have said for the last
couple of years. It's no longer an NBA playoffs where
the best teams win. It's now where the healthiest teams win.
Joelle Embiid is going to miss Game four. Now the
Sixers have this series well in hand. They're up three
zip over the Nets, but with a sprain right knee,
(07:50):
Embiid is out for Game four. They are hopeful he
can come back to the lineup sometime next week, maybe
early next week, maybe late next week, but it is
up in the air. And now you have Embiid who
now has a spray knee that is going to come
back at some point. How long is he really going
to play before he gets hurt again? Right, because that's
Embid right, This is what happens. This is what happens
to Biggs. You try to come back, really, because you
(08:11):
got to come back sooner rather than later with a
sprain knee. Probably not gonna fetch you in this series
because you're up three zip already. But you're trying to say, hey,
second round, third round, championship. Really, this is where the
NBA has changed the last two years because now headlines
like this are just, I don't want to say their routine,
but they're no longer surprising. Guys can finish games and
then the next day you find out, oh, by the way,
(08:34):
so and so is out for the next game. Wait
what he finished the game? He was fine. I know
he came down a little awkward there in a third quarter,
but he played the rest of the game. Yeah, sorry,
he's got a sprain knee. This is just how it
goes in the NBA playoffs now, and I guarantee you
when you can look at this new era of the
NBA in the rear view, and I mean the post
COVID era. Right when you get out, you have the
Bubble Championship with the Lakers, and now we have what's next, Right,
(08:56):
we'll be able to define eras of the NBA pre COVID,
the COVID year post COVID, we will look back and say,
it's really about the star. If your star stays healthy,
you're gonna win, or you'll make it to the NBA
Finals and you're playing another team, another star. But that's
how you make It's no longer a case of hey,
we can plan this out, it's how do we plan
to play knowing our star is going to get hurt
(09:17):
At some point, someone's gonna miss a game, miss a
couple of games, because that's simply what happens with all
the basketball they have to play now, they have to
play a higher level of basketball over a short period
of time. And this is now three years of data
of players just getting hurt, the players who play all
the way through the season, players who are coming back
from injury, trying to stay healthy. It just happens. This
(09:39):
is what the NBA playoffs are going to be. It's
no longer. It's just keep everybody healthy, play your game
and you'll win. If you play another team that's healthy,
it's bad luck. But eventually you're gonna and it could
be game two of a series, could be the middle
of Game one. Look at the Bucks right now. Giannis
is hopeful to come back for Game three. They're tied
one one, they lost home court advantage. It's now just
about staying healthy. That has gone from being Hey, one
(10:01):
of the big things we want to accomplish, you want
to make sure we stay healthy. It is the number one.
It is the only thing. If we stay healthy, we
can win. Even the teams who are in the lower
level and the lower seeds in the NBA playoffs go.
You know what, if we stay healthy, something might happen.
Something might happen to the Bucks, something might happen to Embiid,
something might happen to Giannis, something might happen to Jokic
(10:22):
or Murray or something, and then suddenly the door is
wide open for us. This has become the thing in
the NBA because the headlines of guys like Embiid getting
hurt where a couple of years ago they were huge deals.
And it's what does this mean for their championship aspirations.
Instead it's hey, he's hurt. Can they win? Boy? That's
gonna be tough, but you knew what was gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, we've really drifted into an NFL like next man
up kind of policy in the NBA and where we
look at teams like, all right, how's the depth on
the bench here? Because your star is probably gonna miss
some time. But forgive me, you know, because it's a
day where people you know that make a lot of
money in our business or just shout and screaming at
(11:01):
windmills and making crap up. So how about I do
this while while I'm at it. See if I can't
improve my tax bracket while I'm at it. Didn't this
have a feeling of Michael Jordan goes to play baseball
about it? Instead of suspending him for a game, we're
having to address that at all.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, he's hurt.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Interesting, hell missed the next game when they have a
three to zero commanding.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I call interesting. I kind that's very interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
You know, I mean, like you look at it and
I hope he's fine. Basketball is better when he's out there.
He's a great blank talker, he's a great athlete and
he's a guy that we love to watch play. However,
given the givens of James Harden getting suspended for minimal contact,
trying to do the little push off and unfortunately he
(11:52):
he got a little bit low. Uh, he gets ejected.
But Joel Embiid three minutes into the game, tries to do, uh,
you know, I'll kick you in the well.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
This is a kick you then now.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
And all you get is a duel technical that that
maybe it's smacks of a hey, we don't have to
do anything if he's not.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Available, but and again, I hope he's all right.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
And this does speak to the narrative that you you
bring up of we're not banking on guy. We were
just extolling the virtues of Kawhi Leonard. See previous comment
of people just talking out there. Oh no, but the
idea that we were just starting to say, Look, Kawhi's back.
It's playoff, yeah, kuhiet plant and so series after series,
(12:36):
who's left standing? You know, it's it's both fighters or
wrestlers getting counted out of the ring.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Or counted out.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Hey nine and you stagger to your feet, hanging out
into the rope for dear life and you get the victory.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
That's kind of what it's starting to feel like in
the NBA.
Speaker 2 (12:52):

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Maybe you should get some of those bunny years from
back in the seventies outside to the back of the
back of the set. Maybe that'll help you.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Well, like when you and I were kids and we
had to touch and don't move, just hold it because
we're getting it right.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah right, yeah, because the snow would start again.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yes a well, Look, I do have bigger fish to
fry with the Knicks right now, so we have time
for the Mets. But I got bigger fish to fry,
and the biggest fish is obviously the Aaron Rodgers situation.
Because everybody's panicking O, the Niners may get involved all
this crazy ass stuff. Everybody's ja Cole.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I keep telling everybody, but Douglas told you, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Told you. Everybody's got to be He was everything.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Joe Douglas is scared out of his mind. Yes, he
was to say anything that might be remotely negative for
fear that he would be beaten to death by Jets
fans at that very moment.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Is Aaron Rodgers coming Well, But I keep telling everybody
Jacoby just gotta be cool, man.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
It's the end throwing at him. It would have.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Horrible.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Just got everybody's just got to be cool a little
bit long. This is at the end of the heist
movie when when everybody's panicing, just just be cool.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
When I tell you relax r e l A yeah,
and you imagine after My favorite is after the first
loss under Rogers.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
When he does the relaxed thing to the Jets fans.
How's not going to go over?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Well, there'll be eight to no at that point, so
eight and one I think we'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Did you guys lose your first game with Rogers? Next year. Yeah, yeah,
like it'll be like the beginning of the song Black
Friday by Steely Dan. It's just gonna be awful.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Why are all that man?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
As they fall from the fourteenth floor, there we go that.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
They open up all the hydrants on the streets.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
So what do they got a flaming dumpster to significy
shit's opening at the Rogers here?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Wait? Wait, wait happened now? You guys? Hang on. I
can figure this out in a second. Here, let me
hang on. I'm just gonna find out who's gonna win
opening week. Let me text hang on, let me text
Jamison Williams right now and find out who's gonna win
opening week. Hang on, let me say Boo or any
of the Lions staffers.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
A name that got fired too.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
It was the entire Ford family, deathly, it was the
family Martha. It was Martha's family Ford bedding pool that
they had going. That's that's how bad the Lions are.
They can't it out of their own way. They have
to have a scandal in house, like who whoever comes
(17:33):
up with the idea, Oh, it's a really good idea,
have a gambling pool inside of inside the office of
an NFL football team. Only the Lions can do that. Really,
I don't know, because they're not really part of it.
They're not really part of the NFL anyway, So what
does it matter.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
It was supposed to be our year. I thought they
revoked our charter. No, we're still in. We're still playing.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Okay, Dan Campbell's by some knees off right now too,
and then going, how do I work on that parlay?
There we go, I had.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
The over under of two knees bitten off by Dan Campbell.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Next year, I got to tell you how crystal clear
it is that the Giants the Giants Mets game. It
is just a phenomenal day in San Francisco. The blue sky.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Is it? Is it a Cerulean blue? Is it a.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yes? It is very much exactly what it is. Okay,
get quite well, the matches quite well. The Mets colors
the sky, you know, the the Thrilian blue along with them.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Let me ask you this, jum Me asked this j
Cole seriously. So we had the story today, James and Williams,
four Lions plus a player from the Commanders who were
suspended for betting on different aspects of the NFL. James
and Williams getting a six game suspension because he didn't
gamble on the NFL. He just gambled from team premises,
which you can't do. How wide spread is gambling not gamling?
(19:02):
How widespread is gambling among players in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Oh, it's pretty widespread, you know. I would say it
is a good thirty to forty percent of the guys
who gamble on something, you know, whether it's college football,
you know, regular sports. I mean there's quite a few.
There's quite a few guys who.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Had thirty to forty. That's a lot. It's a lot. Well,
I didn't think you would say that, You say, like, yeah, yeah,
it's a good number, like fifteen or twenty percent, that's
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I would have taught high thirty to four. It's it's
higher because I mean it looks it's it's all guys,
all young guys. It's all guys who are involved in
sports and sports, like integral to sports is sports betting.
So yeah, it's pretty it's pretty high. From what I
have noticed now, some of it, again is pretty mundane.
(19:48):
Like there's a range in there from guys who actually
bet serious money on college games, you know, like there's
Art schleistro over here. And then there's like the Mike
Trout type of gambling on your fantacy football league. Like
there's there's a range in there and it's pretty vast.
(20:08):
But yeah, I would say forty of the guys that
I know that would be a pretty fair guess. There
you go do some form of gambling, and again most
of it appears to be pretty innocent. Stuff like you know,
your your betting pool on your rank, your teams from
your rank your games from one to sixteen, sixteen being
(20:32):
the best bet and one being the worst bet. You
know that that classic way of doing it, and you
throw you know, twenty ten fifty bucks into the pool
whatever it happens to be. Stuff like that, or you know,
suicide pools and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Dig that confidence pools rate raging. I do like that.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
It's a distinction of hey, just don't do it on
an NFL team's Wi Fi connection is really when it
comes down, you know, hopeful you could do it, just
just don't connected to our Wi Fi.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Miss missus Ford, could you please not call your bookie
from the office phone? Please? Could you not do that?
Martha Ford sitting there and she's got like a cheat
sheet on games and stuff like that. She's called, she's
calling Vegas every five minutes. What what what do we
think about the Browns this week? What are we thinking
(21:24):
about it on this one? That that'd be fantastic.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I want to bet the coin toss? What do we say?
You're going to heads and down? I want to bet.
I want to bet.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Here's the early interesting part, because they're talking about this
stuff already. What happens when they go to the European
model and they have you know, you have betting houses
on premise, right, what what are you what are you
doing at that point? Uh? And and how are you
keeping a distance you know, for your players and your
(21:55):
your staff. I mean, you know, there's a lot of that.
It wasn't Kevin Harlan's obviously the announcer, but his brother was.
His brother was an executive who got who lost his
job because he was with the Bears or was with
the Packers. I can't remember that Packers lost. Yeah, he
lost it. He lost his job because of that. I'm
(22:17):
very unfortunate. But yeah, there's guys, there's guys that are
betting all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Well, there you go. Jason Cole with us.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
OutKick is where you find him online at Jason Cole
sixty two, the author of many a book, the latest
available to you on Amazon, telling you how to be
a better sports parent and telling you your kid's not special.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Your kid's not that great. I was talking with mister
mister Brady Brady Senior this week. He absolutely loves it.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Did you tell him that his kid sucks? To hey,
you know your kids sucks?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Did you ask him if he was coming out of
retirement to go play for the Dolphins?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
God, it's just never going to go, Tom, And Tom's
the problem. You know, Tom just can't and and I
don't blame him, but he just can't let it go.
It's going to be so painful. I just wonder how
he's going to handle, you know, when training camp starts.
And then nice double play pol turned by those maps.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Just stay on, just stay on top, will just stay.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
On door Lin Door crossed the bag very nicely. It
was a backhand flip by McNeil, really nicely, nicely done.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
You know, I'm gonna I'm going to replace you with
with a guest from cal every week. How does that sound,
mister Stanford? I don't care. I don't care who it is.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Amy Trask is my friend. She would never come on
her show, you and.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Now she would never come on She's she's been on
our show like five times, Amy Trask.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, but she doesn't come on every week. She's because
she she negotiated a better deal. She gets like one
one say in which a week, whether she appears or not,
I get one sandwich every six months.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Maybe you saw with hey, listen, Lamar Jackson agent do
that deal? You shouldn't have done it yourself.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Again, Lamar Jackson, you want to show me a home.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Jim j call. You are the Lamar Jackson of radio guests.
He does his own deal.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
We'll tell her one show.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
What was that show about the agent? What was it
with Arless? At this point? At this point, like, Lamar Jackson,
how many Arlest episodes did you fill with Lamar Jackson story?
Could you do an entire season of Arless based on
Lamar Jackson?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Like like that's like maybe that's the through line is
like Robert Wall trying to, you know, represent Lamar Jackson.
He can never meet him, Yeah, he can, he can
never meet him. He keeps trying to meet with him.
Lamar Jackson's blowing him off. Then he's finally in the
episode at the very end.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, it's you know, it's after he's been like franchised
four straight years and he can't barely walk anymore, and oh,
do you think he might get me a little bit
of guarantee? Now?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
How has that show not been rebooted? I mean, I
mean it's it's it's Taylor made to be again. What's
Robert Wall doing? How has that not been rebooting?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
He's been doing a bunch of history stuff. He was
on Broadway a bunch. I used to substitute radio host
with him, and for him.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
He was he was actually he was pretty good. He
just never let his guest talk because I appeared on
on that and it was like, let Robert talk and then, oh, hi,
my guests, do you want do you want to add
anything to my thoughts? It was good.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It was like, do you like that? That's how we're
going to run interviews with you. Right now. I'm going
to talk and say would you like to add anything
to my thoughts? Jason Cole?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
And then you get, say, the orange color of the
Giants jerseys against just a beautiful cream background. You got
Bean he's he just got a base head. By the way,
you got run run.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Around first basis Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Yes it is. Vogel back running is just amusing. It
really is one of the most amusing sides. He makes
Ron say look like Usain Bolt.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That's good. We got a penguin reference at it. Wow,
you got explained to millennials, who Ron say is? I
don't think people know who runs well.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
No, but but if you if you ever saw a
penguin run, Dan Vogelbach is worse. Let's just put it
that way. Yeah, that's how. That's how you got Cana
how beats the throw though he was it was a
slow roller, so can hop beats out? All right?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Two part question for you, J Cole, is Trey Lan's
gonna go?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
No, no, no, no, Baby, Baby's up at the plate. I got
to see this new kid. He's so good. I loved
his slugging percentage in the miners. Didn't you did.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
They just show you draft him on fantasy and your
fantasy baseball team?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I did not, you know when I when I looked
over Baby's stats, I was like, oh, just laced one
into the hole between between second and first. Got runners
at first and second for you right now, he just
one out.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You know it's funny you said, because that was my
favorite episode of Arless when he wanted to win his
fantasy baseball championship. And you know when you do fantasy baseball,
you do American League or National League. And it was like, wait,
if I trade my guy to the American League, like
the guy he was in competition with had him, and
he was like, he's got him. So we traded.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
He traded him the Brewers when they're in the American League,
and he celebrated winning because you didn't have a picture.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
They really they really should do that. I'll say this though,
if he ever did like oh slow roller up third turn,
Bart throwing the first got him at first. Second, we
got second and third right now with two outs, Okay,
it was it was a swinging bunch.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I wanted to let you know what was going on.
I know you, I know you can't act. Actually watched
the game and it's actually.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Thank you, Joe Bucke. Thank you for all of this,
Joe Buck. I appreciate it. Thank you. That's sorry.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
It was a really nice it was a really nice
two hundred and seventygree turn by bart as he fired
the ball over okay to Wilmer Flores at.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
First, Wilmay very good.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Thank you very ray. Well, you're like Wilmer I thought
he met for a while. It came up as a
Mets product. Wilmore Floraz. That's another guy who destroyed my life.
God damn Wilmer Flores. Flashback by Jason Smith going, I
(28:36):
thought he was going to be Brett Baty, but no
he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I thought Jason Cole was going to be Brett Batty,
but instead he's just Jason Cole. He's on Twitter week.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Louis yarm it's played right now.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay, go watch the match of the Giants and then
text me when you know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Did you know that Louis y Arm is slugging to
eighty one? How do you slug to eighty one?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
You? Did you know? We're gonna hang up now?
Speaker 3 (29:02):
No, no, no, shut up. We're gonna hang up.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's gonna sound like we're hanging up.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Louis has a higher on base percentage than a slugging percentage.
That's impossible.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That's baseball. That's baseball. Uh oh, thank you, j Cole
saying well, Joe Davis has nothing to worry about. I
think got his career having Fantasy Baseball flashbacks in the
middles giving a stet.
Speaker 2 (29:34):

jerseys in here, put him in the big laundry basket.
I'll wheel it out. Not congratulations to you. What a
trash game like? From an entertainment value, it had? No? Oh, no,
I was really entertained. I think I was more entertained
than anybody else on the planet. I was so incredibly
(30:26):
entertained by this game. But so you're the guy, Yeah, look,
the mix are gonna score a hundred points. This was awful.
It's not my fault. The other team can't score any point?
Was that no show effort if there ever was. I
told you we were going to be up three to one.
You were like, I don't know, we're gonna be up
three one. Knicks Nicks, Nicks Nicks.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
No.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
The worst though, is that that it gives credence, at
least on some level, to folks and the mystique of
the garden. By the way, I hope they greased up
all the polls around Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Now that's Philadelphia's thing.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Man, we don't do no, no, you gotta steal it
because we saw what happened against the Hawks. Chaos ensues,
man spilling into the night. Revelry and jackassery abounds.

say I told you so, but now you just wait
until Night one of the NFL Draft yesterday with the
(31:27):
whole big everybody's losing their blue check marks on Twitter?
What did I tell you was the big thing was
gonna happen. Now news is going to be impossible to
break and there's gonna be impersonators all over Twitter because
you can buy a check mark for eight bucks. It's
not about oh, superstars don't want to pay who cannot
afford eight dollars for a check mark? Why would an
(31:48):
athlete or an entertainer pay eight dollars for a check
mark when someone else can pay eight dollars and impersonate them.
Today Mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, it was a fake account,
but it was put out from account reported to be
hers that she was closing what like the busiest streets
in Chicago, and like two hundred thousand people saw this
tweet that these streets were closed, and there was all
(32:08):
kinds of mayem because somebody decided, Hey, it's the first
day I'm gonna impersonate Mayor Lori Lightfoot. Now here's a
whole traffic snarl in Chicago because I could do it.
I told you this is gonna happen, and here it
is the first day just wait till the NFL draft,
my Garmen, we will be able to keep anything straight.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Yeah, So transportation departments and other things getting faked. And
the problem is you already had a million things going
on in Chicago to where Lightfoot's you know, the outgoing
mayor as it stands, but they got a whole other
world coming there. And not to politicize things, but wow,
(32:45):
it's gonna get odd.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
But this is the first story from the municipality that gets.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Crazy because remember when the Embiid story of him gonna
miss time with the spray kneed, didn't we all do
a triple check? Didn't we all go to to find
another news outfit to make sure Wait, is he really hurt?
Speaker 1 (33:06):
But is he really hurt? Yes, but it.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Was Joel Embiid. So I don't know how much time
you spent on it. You just went, yeah, it makes sense,
but yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
It is gonna be.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
It's gonna require some a re education of the process.
And what's funny in all of it, Jason, And something
we talked about quite a bit yesterday is that you've
got all the people that actually create the content that
are being asked to pay for it. You know the
pay to play. It's like, hey, can you host my podcast?
I'll give you thirty bucks a month. Now it's will
you host my twitter feed? I'll give you eight dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Told you this is gonna happen. Here we are Day one.

of the NBA and a big time gambling scandal from
the NFL. This is Fox Sports Radio.

you kind of just become a drop.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
That's my protest for it not becoming a drop, given
the number of times it's been said over the last day.

Mike Harmon. We got big time stuff going on, We
got NHL play, we got everything happening tonight, and we're
(03:32):
less than a week away from the draft. Now it's
all happening for us. Well, that's it.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Next week the WWE Superstars will be split between Raw
and SmackDown. The draft has been reinstated. Oh you meant
the NFL Draft. Yeah, and then we'll see you. You
just scare a lot of people. The draft has been reinstated.
It's not what he means. It's not what he means.
We're talking about the NFL, WWE Draft returns and then
(03:58):
obviously the NFL Draft. The countdown to you melting down
in the new Fox Sports Radios studio with cameras on
and watching you sweat as no trade for Rogers is announced. Yeah,
we're a week less than a week away from that
momentous occasion. By the way, if I didn't have to
watch this game for work, I'd be watching the paint.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Dry on on my wall. I mean, this is if
you were. If you weren't watching the knicksud be up
by forty. You're doing something to my team. That's kind
of what you're doing.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Well, they suck and Darius Garland basically gave up, you know,
one of those you gotta save him for Game three.
He did say that he for Game three because he's
been awful. Now you mentioned Draft Night and of course
being less than a week out from the draft, don't
miss Draft Night Live right here on Fox Sports Radio
(04:49):
next Thursday night, eight pm Eastern throughout the first round
of the Draft. That's right, Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmen.
We will directly follow the Draft Show next Thursday, right

nights of Aaron Rodgers, Eve. It's very exciting.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Mike Carmen.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
How are you gonna celebrate? Do you have a countdown?
I mean, are there chocolates laid out.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
For each night?
Speaker 4 (05:35):
You have a special outfit, you know, know, wear special pajamas
for that final night when you expect him to come
down the chimney.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
No, what's the deal. I haven't worn pajamas in years, man,
I mean it's I get too hot. I get two IDEs. No,
no pajamas night, No pajamas.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
A right, as long as you're not doing a Jamie's tart,
because nobody needs no pajama.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Why you got no clothes on the bottom cause I
get because I get hot on the bottom and cool
up top. Okay, So again, Happy Aaron Rodgers, Eve. Because
this could be the day before Aaron Rodgers finally becomes
a New York jet.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
It could also be the day you almost caught Captain
Jack spare for me.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Lots of things can happen, true, right, But if it
doesn't happen tonight, it could happen the next day and
that is and then it's Aaron Rodgers Eve again and
we're good to go.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Well, that means you're getting your cardio every day because
you're getting your hopes up and eat, blood pressure starts
to elevate, and maybe you get on. It's like being
on a treadmill without actually doing any of the work.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah. See that's what I like. See if I can
get a treadmill and not actually have to do work,
I would like that. That would be pretty good.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Well, I mean you can trap your legs in and
hit a button and it'll do it mechanically to where
you're not really making the effort. Your body's doing the motion,
but you're really not actively participating.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, the pounds all fall off without actually having to
do anything. It is fantastic.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Or you inch closer over the course of an hour
towards your desired sandwich. It's like, oh, how much longer
sandwich looks so far away? Twenty minute remaining, twenty minutes remaining,
you've burned off almost two thirds of the calories.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
That you will ingest mere moments from now. You see
what I did, I see what he does. I see
who he did, I see who he did bad value.
So we will have more on the NBA playoffs ro
out the night. Again, it's a it's a three game night, right.
We got Denver in Minnesota early in the first quarter.
Denver's up by five, twenty eight, twenty three. So we'll
have more on on the three games coming up. But
(07:30):
another big injury today in the NBA, And again I
go back to what I have said for the last
couple of years. It's no longer an NBA playoffs where
the best teams win. It's now where the healthiest teams win.
Joelle Embiid is going to miss Game four. Now the
Sixers have this series well in hand. They're up three
zip over the Nets, but with a sprain right knee,
(07:50):
Embiid is out for Game four. They are hopeful he
can come back to the lineup sometime next week, maybe
early next week, maybe late next week, but it is
up in the air. And now you have Embiid who
now has a spray knee that is going to come
back at some point. How long is he really going
to play before he gets hurt again? Right, because that's
Embid right, This is what happens. This is what happens
to Biggs. You try to come back, really, because you
(08:11):
got to come back sooner rather than later with a
sprain knee. Probably not gonna fetch you in this series
because you're up three zip already. But you're trying to say, hey,
second round, third round, championship. Really, this is where the
NBA has changed the last two years because now headlines
like this are just, I don't want to say their routine,
but they're no longer surprising. Guys can finish games and
then the next day you find out, oh, by the way,
(08:34):
so and so is out for the next game. Wait
what he finished the game? He was fine. I know
he came down a little awkward there in a third quarter,
but he played the rest of the game. Yeah, sorry,
he's got a sprain knee. This is just how it
goes in the NBA playoffs now, and I guarantee you
when you can look at this new era of the
NBA in the rear view, and I mean the post
COVID era. Right when you get out, you have the
Bubble Championship with the Lakers, and now we have what's next, Right,
(08:56):
we'll be able to define eras of the NBA pre COVID,
the COVID year post COVID, we will look back and say,
it's really about the star. If your star stays healthy,
you're gonna win, or you'll make it to the NBA
Finals and you're playing another team, another star. But that's
how you make It's no longer a case of hey,
we can plan this out, it's how do we plan
to play knowing our star is going to get hurt
(09:17):
At some point, someone's gonna miss a game, miss a
couple of games, because that's simply what happens with all
the basketball they have to play now, they have to
play a higher level of basketball over a short period
of time. And this is now three years of data
of players just getting hurt, the players who play all
the way through the season, players who are coming back
from injury, trying to stay healthy. It just happens. This
(09:39):
is what the NBA playoffs are going to be. It's
no longer. It's just keep everybody healthy, play your game
and you'll win. If you play another team that's healthy,
it's bad luck. But eventually you're gonna and it could
be game two of a series, could be the middle
of Game one. Look at the Bucks right now. Giannis
is hopeful to come back for Game three. They're tied
one one, they lost home court advantage. It's now just
about staying healthy. That has gone from being Hey, one
(10:01):
of the big things we want to accomplish, you want
to make sure we stay healthy. It is the number one.
It is the only thing. If we stay healthy, we
can win. Even the teams who are in the lower
level and the lower seeds in the NBA playoffs go.
You know what, if we stay healthy, something might happen.
Something might happen to the Bucks, something might happen to Embiid,
something might happen to Giannis, something might happen to Jokic
(10:22):
or Murray or something, and then suddenly the door is
wide open for us. This has become the thing in
the NBA because the headlines of guys like Embiid getting
hurt where a couple of years ago they were huge deals.
And it's what does this mean for their championship aspirations.
Instead it's hey, he's hurt. Can they win? Boy? That's
gonna be tough, but you knew what was gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah, we've really drifted into an NFL like next man
up kind of policy in the NBA and where we
look at teams like, all right, how's the depth on
the bench here? Because your star is probably gonna miss
some time. But forgive me, you know, because it's a
day where people you know that make a lot of
money in our business or just shout and screaming at
(11:01):
windmills and making crap up. So how about I do
this while while I'm at it. See if I can't
improve my tax bracket while I'm at it. Didn't this
have a feeling of Michael Jordan goes to play baseball
about it? Instead of suspending him for a game, we're
having to address that at all.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Yeah, he's hurt.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
Interesting, hell missed the next game when they have a
three to zero commanding.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
I call interesting. I kind that's very interesting.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
You know, I mean, like you look at it and
I hope he's fine. Basketball is better when he's out there.
He's a great blank talker, he's a great athlete and
he's a guy that we love to watch play. However,
given the givens of James Harden getting suspended for minimal contact,
trying to do the little push off and unfortunately he
(11:52):
he got a little bit low. Uh, he gets ejected.
But Joel Embiid three minutes into the game, tries to do, uh,
you know, I'll kick you in the well.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
This is a kick you then now.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
And all you get is a duel technical that that
maybe it's smacks of a hey, we don't have to
do anything if he's not.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Available, but and again, I hope he's all right.
Speaker 4 (12:14):
And this does speak to the narrative that you you
bring up of we're not banking on guy. We were
just extolling the virtues of Kawhi Leonard. See previous comment
of people just talking out there. Oh no, but the
idea that we were just starting to say, Look, Kawhi's back.
It's playoff, yeah, kuhiet plant and so series after series,
(12:36):
who's left standing? You know, it's it's both fighters or
wrestlers getting counted out of the ring.

Or counted out.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
Hey nine and you stagger to your feet, hanging out
into the rope for dear life and you get the victory.
Speaker 1 (12:50):

the NBA.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
We're Fox Sports Radio. We we we should have everything.
We can't get the game on our TVs. We can't
get the game.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Maybe you should get some of those bunny years from
back in the seventies outside to the back of the
back of the set. Maybe that'll help you.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Well, like when you and I were kids and we
had to touch and don't move, just hold it because
we're getting it right.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Yeah right, yeah, because the snow would start again.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yes a well, Look, I do have bigger fish to
fry with the Knicks right now, so we have time
for the Mets. But I got bigger fish to fry,
and the biggest fish is obviously the Aaron Rodgers situation.
Because everybody's panicking O, the Niners may get involved all
this crazy ass stuff. Everybody's ja Cole.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
I keep telling everybody, but Douglas told you, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Told you. Everybody's got to be He was everything.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
Joe Douglas is scared out of his mind. Yes, he
was to say anything that might be remotely negative for
fear that he would be beaten to death by Jets
fans at that very moment.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Is Aaron Rodgers coming Well, But I keep telling everybody
Jacoby just gotta be cool, man.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
It's the end throwing at him. It would have.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Horrible.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Just got everybody's just got to be cool a little
bit long. This is at the end of the heist
movie when when everybody's panicing, just just be cool.
Speaker 5 (15:55):
When I tell you relax r e l A yeah,
and you imagine after My favorite is after the first
loss under Rogers.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
When he does the relaxed thing to the Jets fans.
How's not going to go over?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Well, there'll be eight to no at that point, so
eight and one I think we'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Did you guys lose your first game with Rogers? Next year. Yeah, yeah,
like it'll be like the beginning of the song Black
Friday by Steely Dan. It's just gonna be awful.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Why are all that man?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
As they fall from the fourteenth floor, there we go that.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
They open up all the hydrants on the streets.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
So what do they got a flaming dumpster to significy
shit's opening at the Rogers here?
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Wait? Wait, wait happened now? You guys? Hang on. I
can figure this out in a second. Here, let me
hang on. I'm just gonna find out who's gonna win
opening week. Let me text hang on, let me text
Jamison Williams right now and find out who's gonna win
opening week. Hang on, let me say Boo or any
of the Lions staffers.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
A name that got fired too.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
It was the entire Ford family, deathly, it was the
family Martha. It was Martha's family Ford bedding pool that
they had going. That's that's how bad the Lions are.
They can't it out of their own way. They have
to have a scandal in house, like who whoever comes
(17:33):
up with the idea, Oh, it's a really good idea,
have a gambling pool inside of inside the office of
an NFL football team. Only the Lions can do that. Really,
I don't know, because they're not really part of it.
They're not really part of the NFL anyway, So what
does it matter.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
It was supposed to be our year. I thought they
revoked our charter. No, we're still in. We're still playing.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
Okay, Dan Campbell's by some knees off right now too,
and then going, how do I work on that parlay?
There we go, I had.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
The over under of two knees bitten off by Dan Campbell.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Next year, I got to tell you how crystal clear
it is that the Giants the Giants Mets game. It
is just a phenomenal day in San Francisco. The blue sky.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Is it? Is it a Cerulean blue? Is it a.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Yes? It is very much exactly what it is. Okay,
get quite well, the matches quite well. The Mets colors
the sky, you know, the the Thrilian blue along with them.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Let me ask you this, jum Me asked this j
Cole seriously. So we had the story today, James and Williams,
four Lions plus a player from the Commanders who were
suspended for betting on different aspects of the NFL. James
and Williams getting a six game suspension because he didn't
gamble on the NFL. He just gambled from team premises,
which you can't do. How wide spread is gambling not gamling?
(19:02):
How widespread is gambling among players in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
Oh, it's pretty widespread, you know. I would say it
is a good thirty to forty percent of the guys
who gamble on something, you know, whether it's college football,
you know, regular sports. I mean there's quite a few.
There's quite a few guys who.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Had thirty to forty. That's a lot. It's a lot. Well,
I didn't think you would say that, You say, like, yeah, yeah,
it's a good number, like fifteen or twenty percent, that's
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
I would have taught high thirty to four. It's it's
higher because I mean it looks it's it's all guys,
all young guys. It's all guys who are involved in
sports and sports, like integral to sports is sports betting.
So yeah, it's pretty it's pretty high. From what I
have noticed now, some of it, again is pretty mundane.
(19:48):
Like there's a range in there from guys who actually
bet serious money on college games, you know, like there's
Art schleistro over here. And then there's like the Mike
Trout type of gambling on your fantacy football league. Like
there's there's a range in there and it's pretty vast.
(20:08):
But yeah, I would say forty of the guys that
I know that would be a pretty fair guess. There
you go do some form of gambling, and again most
of it appears to be pretty innocent. Stuff like you know,
your your betting pool on your rank, your teams from
your rank your games from one to sixteen, sixteen being
(20:32):
the best bet and one being the worst bet. You
know that that classic way of doing it, and you
throw you know, twenty ten fifty bucks into the pool
whatever it happens to be. Stuff like that, or you know,
suicide pools and stuff like that.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Dig that confidence pools rate raging. I do like that.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
It's a distinction of hey, just don't do it on
an NFL team's Wi Fi connection is really when it
comes down, you know, hopeful you could do it, just
just don't connected to our Wi Fi.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
Miss missus Ford, could you please not call your bookie
from the office phone? Please? Could you not do that?
Martha Ford sitting there and she's got like a cheat
sheet on games and stuff like that. She's called, she's
calling Vegas every five minutes. What what what do we
think about the Browns this week? What are we thinking
(21:24):
about it on this one? That that'd be fantastic.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I want to bet the coin toss? What do we say?
You're going to heads and down? I want to bet.
I want to bet.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Here's the early interesting part, because they're talking about this
stuff already. What happens when they go to the European
model and they have you know, you have betting houses
on premise, right, what what are you what are you
doing at that point? Uh? And and how are you
keeping a distance you know, for your players and your
(21:55):
your staff. I mean, you know, there's a lot of that.
It wasn't Kevin Harlan's obviously the announcer, but his brother was.
His brother was an executive who got who lost his
job because he was with the Bears or was with
the Packers. I can't remember that Packers lost. Yeah, he
lost it. He lost his job because of that. I'm
(22:17):
very unfortunate. But yeah, there's guys, there's guys that are
betting all the time.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Well, there you go. Jason Cole with us.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
OutKick is where you find him online at Jason Cole
sixty two, the author of many a book, the latest
available to you on Amazon, telling you how to be
a better sports parent and telling you your kid's not special.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
Your kid's not that great. I was talking with mister
mister Brady Brady Senior this week. He absolutely loves it.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
Did you tell him that his kid sucks? To hey,
you know your kids sucks?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Did you ask him if he was coming out of
retirement to go play for the Dolphins?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
God, it's just never going to go, Tom, And Tom's
the problem. You know, Tom just can't and and I
don't blame him, but he just can't let it go.
It's going to be so painful. I just wonder how
he's going to handle, you know, when training camp starts.
And then nice double play pol turned by those maps.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Just stay on, just stay on top, will just stay.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
On door Lin Door crossed the bag very nicely. It
was a backhand flip by McNeil, really nicely, nicely done.
Speaker 1 (23:28):
You know, I'm gonna I'm going to replace you with
with a guest from cal every week. How does that sound,
mister Stanford? I don't care. I don't care who it is.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Amy Trask is my friend. She would never come on
her show, you and.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Now she would never come on She's she's been on
our show like five times, Amy Trask.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, but she doesn't come on every week. She's because
she she negotiated a better deal. She gets like one
one say in which a week, whether she appears or not,
I get one sandwich every six months.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Maybe you saw with hey, listen, Lamar Jackson agent do
that deal? You shouldn't have done it yourself.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Again, Lamar Jackson, you want to show me a home.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Jim j call. You are the Lamar Jackson of radio guests.
He does his own deal.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
We'll tell her one show.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
What was that show about the agent? What was it
with Arless? At this point? At this point, like, Lamar Jackson,
how many Arlest episodes did you fill with Lamar Jackson story?
Could you do an entire season of Arless based on
Lamar Jackson?
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Like like that's like maybe that's the through line is
like Robert Wall trying to, you know, represent Lamar Jackson.
He can never meet him, Yeah, he can, he can
never meet him. He keeps trying to meet with him.
Lamar Jackson's blowing him off. Then he's finally in the
episode at the very end.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Yeah, it's you know, it's after he's been like franchised
four straight years and he can't barely walk anymore, and oh,
do you think he might get me a little bit
of guarantee? Now?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
How has that show not been rebooted? I mean, I
mean it's it's it's Taylor made to be again. What's
Robert Wall doing? How has that not been rebooting?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
He's been doing a bunch of history stuff. He was
on Broadway a bunch. I used to substitute radio host
with him, and for him.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
He was he was actually he was pretty good. He
just never let his guest talk because I appeared on
on that and it was like, let Robert talk and then, oh, hi,
my guests, do you want do you want to add
anything to my thoughts? It was good.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
It was like, do you like that? That's how we're
going to run interviews with you. Right now. I'm going
to talk and say would you like to add anything
to my thoughts? Jason Cole?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
And then you get, say, the orange color of the
Giants jerseys against just a beautiful cream background. You got
Bean he's he just got a base head. By the way,
you got run run.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Around first basis Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Yes it is. Vogel back running is just amusing. It
really is one of the most amusing sides. He makes
Ron say look like Usain Bolt.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
That's good. We got a penguin reference at it. Wow,
you got explained to millennials, who Ron say is? I
don't think people know who runs well.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
No, but but if you if you ever saw a
penguin run, Dan Vogelbach is worse. Let's just put it
that way. Yeah, that's how. That's how you got Cana
how beats the throw though he was it was a
slow roller, so can hop beats out? All right?
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Two part question for you, J Cole, is Trey Lan's
gonna go?
Speaker 3 (26:40):
No, no, no, no, Baby, Baby's up at the plate. I got
to see this new kid. He's so good. I loved
his slugging percentage in the miners. Didn't you did.
Speaker 4 (26:49):
They just show you draft him on fantasy and your
fantasy baseball team?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
I did not, you know when I when I looked
over Baby's stats, I was like, oh, just laced one
into the hole between between second and first. Got runners
at first and second for you right now, he just
one out.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
You know it's funny you said, because that was my
favorite episode of Arless when he wanted to win his
fantasy baseball championship. And you know when you do fantasy baseball,
you do American League or National League. And it was like, wait,
if I trade my guy to the American League, like
the guy he was in competition with had him, and
he was like, he's got him. So we traded.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
He traded him the Brewers when they're in the American League,
and he celebrated winning because you didn't have a picture.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
They really they really should do that. I'll say this though,
if he ever did like oh slow roller up third turn,
Bart throwing the first got him at first. Second, we
got second and third right now with two outs, Okay,
it was it was a swinging bunch.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
I wanted to let you know what was going on.
I know you, I know you can't act. Actually watched
the game and it's actually.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Thank you, Joe Bucke. Thank you for all of this,
Joe Buck. I appreciate it. Thank you. That's sorry.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
It was a really nice it was a really nice
two hundred and seventygree turn by bart as he fired
the ball over okay to Wilmer Flores at.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
First, Wilmay very good.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Thank you very ray. Well, you're like Wilmer I thought
he met for a while. It came up as a
Mets product. Wilmore Floraz. That's another guy who destroyed my life.
God damn Wilmer Flores. Flashback by Jason Smith going, I
(28:36):
thought he was going to be Brett Baty, but no
he wasn't.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
I thought Jason Cole was going to be Brett Batty,
but instead he's just Jason Cole. He's on Twitter week.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
Louis yarm it's played right now.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay, go watch the match of the Giants and then
text me when you know what's going on.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Did you know that Louis y Arm is slugging to
eighty one? How do you slug to eighty one?
Speaker 1 (28:57):
You? Did you know? We're gonna hang up now?
Speaker 3 (29:02):
No, no, no, shut up. We're gonna hang up.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
It's gonna sound like we're hanging up.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Louis has a higher on base percentage than a slugging percentage.
That's impossible.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That's baseball. That's baseball. Uh oh, thank you, j Cole
saying well, Joe Davis has nothing to worry about. I
think got his career having Fantasy Baseball flashbacks in the
middles giving a stet.
Speaker 2 (29:34):

jerseys in here, put him in the big laundry basket.
I'll wheel it out. Not congratulations to you. What a
trash game like? From an entertainment value, it had? No? Oh, no,
I was really entertained. I think I was more entertained
than anybody else on the planet. I was so incredibly
(30:26):
entertained by this game. But so you're the guy, Yeah, look,
the mix are gonna score a hundred points. This was awful.
It's not my fault. The other team can't score any point?
Was that no show effort if there ever was. I
told you we were going to be up three to one.
You were like, I don't know, we're gonna be up
three one. Knicks Nicks, Nicks Nicks.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
No.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
The worst though, is that that it gives credence, at
least on some level, to folks and the mystique of
the garden. By the way, I hope they greased up
all the polls around Madison Square Garden.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Now that's Philadelphia's thing.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Man, we don't do no, no, you gotta steal it
because we saw what happened against the Hawks. Chaos ensues,
man spilling into the night. Revelry and jackassery abounds.

say I told you so, but now you just wait
until Night one of the NFL Draft yesterday with the
(31:27):
whole big everybody's losing their blue check marks on Twitter?
What did I tell you was the big thing was
gonna happen. Now news is going to be impossible to
break and there's gonna be impersonators all over Twitter because
you can buy a check mark for eight bucks. It's
not about oh, superstars don't want to pay who cannot
afford eight dollars for a check mark? Why would an
(31:48):
athlete or an entertainer pay eight dollars for a check
mark when someone else can pay eight dollars and impersonate them.
Today Mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, it was a fake account,
but it was put out from account reported to be
hers that she was closing what like the busiest streets
in Chicago, and like two hundred thousand people saw this
tweet that these streets were closed, and there was all
(32:08):
kinds of mayem because somebody decided, Hey, it's the first
day I'm gonna impersonate Mayor Lori Lightfoot. Now here's a
whole traffic snarl in Chicago because I could do it.
I told you this is gonna happen, and here it
is the first day just wait till the NFL draft,
my Garmen, we will be able to keep anything straight.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
Yeah, So transportation departments and other things getting faked. And
the problem is you already had a million things going
on in Chicago to where Lightfoot's you know, the outgoing
mayor as it stands, but they got a whole other
world coming there. And not to politicize things, but wow,
(32:45):
it's gonna get odd.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
But this is the first story from the municipality that gets.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
Crazy because remember when the Embiid story of him gonna
miss time with the spray kneed, didn't we all do
a triple check? Didn't we all go to to find
another news outfit to make sure Wait, is he really hurt?
Speaker 1 (33:06):
But is he really hurt? Yes, but it.
Speaker 4 (33:09):
Was Joel Embiid. So I don't know how much time
you spent on it. You just went, yeah, it makes sense,
but yeah, it is.
Speaker 1 (33:15):
It is gonna be.
Speaker 4 (33:16):
It's gonna require some a re education of the process.
And what's funny in all of it, Jason, And something
we talked about quite a bit yesterday is that you've
got all the people that actually create the content that
are being asked to pay for it. You know the
pay to play. It's like, hey, can you host my podcast?
I'll give you thirty bucks a month. Now it's will
you host my twitter feed? I'll give you eight dollars.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Told you this is gonna happen. Here we are Day one.
Just wait, just wait. Coming up next, something amazing out
of the NBA and a big time gambling scandal from
the NFL. This is Fox Sports Radio.
