You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Greetings and welcome inside our three of The Jason Smith
Show with my biz friend Mike Harmon. Yeah that's right,
and oh boy, people are very upset with me about
the departed.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Okay, so when we.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Last left, when you last left us, we were celebrating
the Celtics keeping this series going alive by talking about
the town, because that's what we Joe Mizula watches four
times a week Celtics head coach. Now, maybe maybe this
is just me, but maybe with all the criticism he's
been getting, he should spend more time planning out.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Things that have to do with the game and watching
the town. But okay, but that game tape.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But that's just me. I don't need to watch game tape.
I just need to watch the Jeremy Renner death scene again.
Sorry spoiler lit uh, I mean it's been around a
long time.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Come on, I know. And no, I wasn't talking about
the spoiler. I'm like, you know, just all the stuff
that poor Gas has been through. I mean that you
had to use that scene. That's the example of what
Maszooma was concentrating on. But come on, man, I mean
that's all the best of Jeremy Renner. By the way, Yeah,
that's like me.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Hey, Jason, you're working really hard. No, no, no, I'm just
gonna watch movies. I'm gonna I'm gonna watch Harry Potter
to deathly Allo's Part one.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
For the ninety eighth time. And to be fair, that
is part of regular background fodder for show prep. I
mean Law and Order episodes, Harry Potter, films, Star Wars,
you name it. You might get engrossed in a scene
or two, but generally you could work with those in
the background.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Hey, you want to come in early and get an
interview with Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan both them together. No,
I'd rather watch Infinity War again. So I'm gonna stay
open watch that.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Will they talk about the retirement Thanksgiving? If not?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
No, Hey, Jason, people want to launch their presidential campaigns
with you. Would you like to do that? Well, you
know what, you know, Shashank just startedtics. Shashank just started.
I kind of you know, I kind of would like
to see this through to the end. Again, I've got
it is.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It is kind of a rule that you once Shoshank
begins on your telling it, you can't change. No, no, no,
you can't know you can't. It's very difficult. It's very difficult.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Like Moneyball, money Come on, I'm not leaving if Moneyball
is on. You know, we've got to sit here and
talk about the calming influence of art.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
How it may or may not be on right now?
Is it on right now? Am I missing it? Yeah?
Where's it on? Is it on? AMC? Amc Oh, you're
my hero. I didn't know that right now? All right,
there's your background fodder with Phil Offman. Yeah, buddy, know
that's great because I had a winner. You have a
multi screen experience. Here's some baseball highlights so you can
(03:05):
see your Mets Cubs highlights again. Uh, and then you
know you celebrate more baseball back when the a's where
you know, nobody AMC is Twister.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Come on, man, what are you doing to me? I
got twister right now in AMC. Okay, how do you
have moneyball? How do you have moneyball?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
And that I'm special? You might you might be. Are
you sure you're watching AMC? I don't know. It's getting
the bottom right corner?
Speaker 1 (03:28):
You sure about that? Five minutes? You sure about that?
Five minutes? All right, I'm gonna to look like naball.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Snap my fingers and point to you. Fine, all right,
all right, continue with this.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
So we're talking Boston. We're talking movies, people being pissed
at you.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I double Wallburg to help, Yeah, which is ridiculous, which
you should look you You should lose a lot of
things for that. So we did to honor the Celtics
and Joe Mazool who watches The Town four times a week,
we did a list of the five best movies that
all the all time to take place in Boston. And
my list from from number five counting down to number one,
(04:06):
number eight, Goodwill Hunting number five, Spotlight number four, Mystic
River number three, The Town number two, Social Network number one.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Right, I feel pretty good about that list. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You put likeaberg movies on Hey, hey, hey, what did
you put?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
You put every you put ted? You put ted two
you put I mean you did not put ted you
put War of the World's on there. You put everything. Hell,
you might have made a top ten list. It did
not make.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
First of all, things are anything with Mark Wahlberg, you
gotta just say, okay, no, sorry, you can't.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You should be just elimited. You're trying to discount and
departed eliminate the count's wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Okay, okay, Now this is what everybody is mad about
me on Twitter about uh. First of all, The Departed
is Scorsese's like ninth best movie, and it's like, I
feel like about here, Yes, okay, I don't given you
the first one. That was a pretty good Wallburg So
that was except you didn't use the Boston accent, which
(05:10):
he uses wherever he's in the movie sometimes. The Departed
it's I feel like The Departed was a movie where
they said, hey, let's let's go through all the rejected
plot lines and extra video that we've shot in the
last twenty years of gangster movies and put it together
in one and we'll have some big stars. And that's
what we're gonna do. Like, I didn't think The Departed
(05:32):
was that great. I thought it was okay.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
You had you love his social network, you had big
work in it in Valley during that period. I shrugged
and staid moving on.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
But you had big people in it, and you had
a big twist, you know, towards the end, which I
liked the twist they had.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
But this was like a I mean, this is it
wasn't even like Goodfella's Light. Well, you should be happy
because it didn't end well for Wallberg and you're a
hatred of him. It ended fine Wahlberg in that movie.
Remember you had the booties on at the end.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Oh, by the way, giving away the end of the
movie in the trailers before going oh, okay, I guess
the movie's not gonna end until Wahlberg wears these booties
and shoot somebody. Oh oh, now I know how it's
gonna end. I mean, look, you think he walked out it? No,
the party was just the.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Party was just okay. It was just okay.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
It had a big cast, and like I said, you
had the big twist there.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
All right, great, but this is great. There's so many
better gangster movies, man, so many better Gangster again and
sot It Boston, and we're talking about performances, and we're
talking about my taste. Emert, you see you up in
the balcony, and I'll.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Tell you Social Network, you know, almost Famous is my
favorite movie of all time.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Right, I've told you that many times.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Social Network, boy, that's gotta be maybe in the top five.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
It was just done.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So it's like social networks like the new Shawshank that
as time goes on, we're gonna be when Social Network
winds up getting wide plays. It's not really on that often.
It wouldn't get starting starting to get wide play. It's
gonna be the movie that people default to to continue
to watch, like we watch and continue to watch Awshank.
I mean, that's how good the movie was. That's how
well done.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It was.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
The story that everybody's familiar with it is I'm telling
you social now. I mean, yeah, of course, there's some
liberties you take. You take liberties with what's going on. Yeah,
as my daughter a drama when she was.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
A child, you know, and and and creeping through when
we try to test out new foods, sometimes she just
pushed the plate away and just say it's not my
favorite and that's where I'm at with the Social Network.
So my favorite watched it was not my Uh, it's
not what I've gone back to for repeat viewings. How
do you not? And I love all the actors and
(07:41):
actresses that are in there. There's some of my favorite
and I love their works. I like their work. I
don't particularly care for the movie Wow, I mean Social Network.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Man, have one of the best scenes of all time
in movies, the scene when when justin Timberlake and uh
and and what's his name Jesse Eisenberg are at the
club and they're up and they're talking about this being
our time and you just hear the music in the
background and the way that shot.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I mean, the best Luthor stop with that.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Come on, man, he's so unbelievable as Lex Luthor because
you know why, because he's he's because he's Facebook. Because
he's Mark Zuckerberg. That's why he can't be Lex Luthor.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Isn't that what Zuckerberg is seen as? Brag most what
I mean, what's its typecasting? At what a while?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Why do you think no one no one really says, oh,
you know the Andrew Garfield Spider Man was the best one.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Now because he's at Morto Savag. That guy's not spider Man.
Spider Man, he was the best, especially when Spider Man
went on to do tick tick boom.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Well, talk about a movie nobody saw. Nobody saw that.
Come on, fantastic, Come.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
On man, nobody saw it. Nobody saw people.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
If you said tick tick boom, people would go, isn't
that a line from the Hamilton Wait?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
No, is it is that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Is that a is that the Is that that movie
where Jeff Bridges plays the bomb expert?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
And go? Oh no, no, that was blown Away with
Tommy Lee Jones.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
No, I'm sorry, tick tick boom, tick tick boom, nobody
saw that one.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I'm glad you didn't put that in any list.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And maybe the list of best movies that have the
word tick or boom in the title, I will give.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
You that that's in the top five. Did you actually
watch it? No, I said, I didn't watch the movie.
I love the thing. No, No, you said nobody saw it?
You did not see nobody? Yeah, and I didn't see it.
If it was that good, more people would have seen it.
It's really good movie. It's just like The Lakers and
the Nuggets. If more people like the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
We talk about them more, but more people like to
hear about the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So okay, I really think you should watch it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I think tick tick Boom is the Michael Porter junior
of this conversation? Are you kidding Social Networks and Lebron
James of this conversation?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Uh huh, Hey, Chris, where's the music hit it? Hey? Yeah?
And who was?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
And oh, by the way, I fet and you had
Ted as your number one movie that takes place in
bass right, what are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I needed a comedy and all of this no anger,
a lot of hate, a lot of mob movies, you'd be.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It's not my fault you put all the look you
put all the Wahlberg movies.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
And that's not my fault. Man, that's not that you
did that on your own. You're talking about newspaper movies
and and crime. You know, here's a missing person and
crime spreeze. No, no, I wanted a little levity at
the top. And Ted's rewatchable at any time of the day. Ted, No,
it's not. Come on, man, come on, no, it's not.
(10:33):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And and you're not gonna suddenly become best friends with
Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Because you're putting all his movies in there. I am
I looking to be best friends with I know, maybe
maybe I'm just defending him against the likes of you
that just disparage his good name and any work that
he's done. And maybe I'm not talking about but he's
done some bad things too. Maybe maybe like look his
his youth. I mean, obviously there's there's some bad stuff
back there. But we're talking about his movie career and
(10:59):
you're trying to throw away one of the great comedies.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh so now I see what you do, and you
you have lyrics for good vibrations too, and you want
to get that to them so you can be in
the video with him, and you guys both saying that
with your shirts off.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Essentially, no, I want to be in the video sequel
to feel feel feel feel feel feel my heat. I say,
it's just like he would that. That was that was terrible.
Tom Brady couldn't do that. So look, Tom Brady could
(11:33):
do that. There's your list.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I mean, there's those are your best Boston movies. There's
your best Boston movies, right, Yeah, you didn't have the
town in your in your list, in your top one,
you did, be sure because that Wahlburg wasn't in that.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I really Missedick number six Town, good Will Hunting. Okay,
I mean, are you gonna castigate me because I put
an Affleck movie in? I mean there's two Affleck movies.
Now everybody hates fan Affleck. Yeah, no, no, I do.
I know.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I do feel weird about having two Affleck movies in there.
I don't know if I feel great about that.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
But I have two Affleck movies in, and then I
had The Departed and I had Ted. I can't just
too movies? Why that for a time.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed in your top two. I'm really disappointed.
I felt like I felt like you.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Just went back and I brought up tick Tick Boom
and you just because nobody knows what that is. And
so I had to disa about the guy that created
Because the musical Rent, millions upon millions of people have
either gone to New York and scene or seen a
traveling production or or dare I say, we may have
some former theater kids or current theater kids in our
(12:37):
audience that performed in a rendition of Rent? How dare you?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Ninety five percent of the people listening just like, Oh,
that's what that movie was about.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Oh I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh that's what it's about. Okay, it's about the production
of Rent. Oh okay, No, I went a race to
go see that about the.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Guy that wrote it and I want to know then
wrote tick tick Boom and unfortunately passed away before Rent
went went live.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I feel like I feel like when you went with
Departed and Ted, you just went with what are the
popular ones?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Like you, you went with things that I like you
multiple repeat viewings, not something that moved and stirred me.
To the cop of my humanity. When I'm walking the beach,
I go into deep thoughts on I'm entertained. You know
you default.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
No, you defaulted to the to the these are them
movies about Boston, the people that you know, you know
what about the perspect about it?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
No. No, But here's the thing, Jason. It goes back
to what we were talking about before. Some of the
stories we cover here in sports talk radio and Sports
TV are not the greatest. They're not the ones that excited,
But we know that's what the masses like. Do I
want to talk about Lebron James all the time?
Speaker 5 (13:44):

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Our way, especially if you disagree with Harmon, which you should.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
The Ted is the best movie ever take place in Boston?
I mean, I mean some people want Fever Pitch. I look,
Wahlberger Fallon. I can't put either of them in a
best movie in Boston. Come on, man, I gave you
a choice between the two. Okay, Jimmy Fallon quit acting.
Come on, I can't put him in that. I can't.
Come on, I just can't. No, no, no, I'm sorry,
(18:00):
it's not it's not. No, I'm not putting fever Pitch
in there.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You're You're crazy. It's enough you put ted and you
want to put fever Pitch. Do you want people to
not have any respect for you? And are you putting
fever Pitch in the top five?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
No, no, I'm just saying, in terms of Boston movies,
we're getting other recommendations to potentially be added to the list.
Some people like Fever Pitch.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, but not one of the top five movies it's
ever taken in and trying to make sure we didn't
forget about it.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
That's gotta people.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Have I seen less than five movies in Bofton ever,
and so I it's on my list because I haven't
seen the other ones. May they like the Red Sox
come on Twitter at how about a fresco?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Mike has swallen to home the Jason Smith Show with
Mike Armet.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Now we're talking about this because the Celtics and they're
head coach Joe Mizzoula, who now, now is it his
fault or not his fault that they're now down three
to two.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Well, he's climbing his way out of the depths because
it was his fault and he was the worst coach
in the NBA and he was going to be fired.
But now it's three two and maybe now he's a
great coach. I don't know those guys that got hired.
I mean to be fair, there were a lot of
guys already dismissed, so he wouldn't have been last if
they'd been retained. But they were all fired so now,
(19:11):
I mean those rungs on the ladder have been chopped off.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, but everybody has told me how bad he is
and how bad a coach he is, and how he's
out of his depth and he shouldn't be heared.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
He was over matched at the beginning and all these things, and.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
It's all right, that's good. But now it's three to
two and maybe it's not his fault unless you know,
he just doesn't get any credit for being the coach
when they come back.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
And with it. Maybe the players today, Ah, that's what
it is. In the last two games, the players really
took it upon themselves saying, you know what, we really
need to pick up for Joe, and he woren't. I mean,
he wore it hard in the media, no question about it.
And the players, you know, humbly. Jason Tatum says, he's
one of the best there is, humbly, humbly, very humbly,
(19:53):
one of the humble superstar. Yeah, he wants to get
after it, so let's go humbly. Uh Yeah. So with
the Celtics winning, and Joe Mizula will be employed another
day because they're not eliminated yet. Now, he's a great
coach all but he sucks when they lose. But he's great.
You go, uh miss, that's the way the world works, though, Yeah, no, no, no,
mean you hate Buck Showalter every time you lose. Today
(20:16):
he's a genius because the polar Bear. Did you do
a ten to one win?
Speaker 7 (20:19):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I when have I blamed Buck Showalter for anything? I
could find the tape. I can have the tape played back.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
No, I don't have to have it played back to me. No,
I did not happen now, Lindor, Yeah, sure, and and
Vogel back, Yeah sure, but no, it's not not not Showalter.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
So with the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Winning, hey, now we get back to Game six and
Joe Mizula can continue to watch the town for the
next couple of nights. Jimmy Butler met the media a
few moments ago a very pedestrian game for him and
the heat, and he talked about what went wrong tonight
and more importantly, what he basically guarantees for.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Game six and beyond. Here's Jimmy Butler from a few
moments ago.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Jimmy, your guys are still leading three to two. You
have a home game to close it out. What's the
sentsay after being up three to zero then losing two
in a row by a combined thirty points in the
locker room from you, what's the mindset now where the
series stands.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
He's got to play better, start the games off better
on the starters, make it more difficult for them. They're
in a rhythm since the beginning of the game. But
we're always going to stay positive knowing that we can
and we will win this series and we'll just have
to close it out at home.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Follow up on that, why is it that your confidence
and the group's confidence remains so high given the way
the last two games unfolding.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
Because the last two games are not who we are.
It just happened to be that way, and we stop
playing defense halfway because we didn't make shots that we
want to make correct. But we just gotta come out
and play harder from jump. So, like I always say,
it's gonna be all smiles. We're gonna keep it very,
(22:07):
very very consistent, knowing that we are going to win
the next game.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
We've been talking a little bit in here about how
they've made it harder on BAM. What does it look
like to you that the Celtics have changed defensively.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
I mean, I think they packed the pink really well,
switching really well and just contesting shots without fouling it.
That it's on us to get him in better positions
to score the ball, get it to him and transition
stuff like that. You know, when you look at the
film and you look at how we can be better
and getting him in into his spots, with the ball
in a position and with the time on the clock
(22:42):
to score, well, we'll be better at that.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Obviously you miss Gabe, and he's important, and now there's
no Gabe, there's no Tiler, there's no Vic.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Other guys did.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Step up and give contributions. Heywood Duncan, is there a
comfort in knowing that there are other guys there and
that they were able to step for you and there's
other numbers and guys to call upon if needed.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Yeah, without a doubt. Guys are so confident because they've
been in this position all year long, with guys in
and out of the lineup. They're constantly working on their game,
so they don't switch up anything just because you know
it's game five of the playoffs, er game five of
the season. They're going to do what they're comfortable with
They're going to do whatever you ask them to do,
(23:25):
and they're gonna play well like I feel like they
did in the Possessions in the time that they got
out there.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
All right, So there's Jimmy Butler leaving no stone unturned
with the opinion that we are going home and we
are winning this series in the next game. Now, we're
going to go home and win. We can win this series.
We will win this series. I want one thought to
be out here for you guys after here, we are
going to win this series, which is exactly what you
want to hear. Right This is how leader, This is
(23:53):
how leaders speak. Hey, maybe we're feeling a little bit
weird right now. We were up three zip. Now it's
three to two. The Celtics have momentum. You want to
hear someone say, hey, no, we got this. It's all good.
You know, there's times when hey, we want to get
a sense of desperation, but they kind of know where
the stakes are. Right now it's three to two, they're
given away. You want your leader to say, hey, we're
(24:13):
going to win this series. It's not that this is
going to happen. I've told you from the beginning. After
the game happened tonight. I had a bad feeling about
the Celtics night. I got a good feeling for the
for the Heat tonight, I got a good feeling for them.
In Game six. They got down twenty to five in
this game and they basically shut it down right. There
was no real run, there was no let's expend a
(24:33):
lot of energy to come back in this game. This
was what teams have done in the past. Hey, we
have a big lead, this game is not going our way.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
We'll put it away and we'll be ready and be
and be a full energy level for the game at
home that we're gonna go close this out on.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
That's exactly what the Heat did.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
So I love the Heat in Game six, and not
only that, we haven't seen one in a little bit.
Jimmy Butler is due. He's gonna have one of those
forty five point playoff Jimmy games han't had one in
a bit. He's going home. It will happen on Saturday.
I'll tell you right now. If he doesn't score forty,
I will be really surprised. I'm gonna go forty five,
eight and seven for him and the Heat when they
(25:11):
go to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I like the boldness of your proclamation. You know, all
lies on Gay Vincent now, I mean he gets billing
and into the questions for Jimmy Butler, like, hey, you
already down. And I haven't heard Victor Oladipo referred to
as VIC before, but I gotta dig that. So obviously
we saw the Tyler hero video during the game and
(25:36):
all of that of his warm ups. But if Vincent's back,
you expand that rotation a lot of heavy minutes for
Kyle Lowry, who they've gotten. I think he's overachieved with
what their expectations were of it minutes. Not to dismiss
what he is, but when he's got to start logging
heavy minutes game the game, but he's not there anymore.
(25:58):
That's why he's coming off the bench in Miami. Good rotation,
good good effort here. It's just curious the close out
efforts on three point shooting weren't there. Celtics have found
the mark these last two games, so trying to see
what Spolstra and company can do at home for Game
six and clearly the Butler effect bam Adebayo in the
(26:23):
middle because Celtics eight wherever they wanted to today. Let's
call it what it is. Right that twenty to five lead,
you started seeing Derek White and Jalen Brown hitting three
point shots and then everybody got involved. Tatum struggled from
the outside but still finished with thirty four points, and
neither team shot a lot of free throws. It was
pretty clean in that regard. So a lot of made
(26:44):
field goals, both teams over fifty percent. So it's it's
gonna come down to some of the careless push the basketball,
and you want to have pace, no question about it.
But they got reckless. A ton of turnovers, throwing the
ball cross court number of times, and easy pickoff moves
by the Celtics defensively, so cleaning some of that up
(27:07):
and then the home court. I like, Look, Butler's demeanor
never changes, and that's one of the things. Not a
he's an unflappable guy. This is who who he is
and ride it out whether whether you like it or not.
And what's he gonna say? Yeah, you know what, they
got us right where they want us now. Now look,
we keep the paces, we go listen to our music,
(27:29):
drink our beer and wine, and we'll be ready for
game six, so I fully anticipate them closing it out,
thus making Harmon's prediction of the heat in the NBA
Finals reality, just like Ted is the number one movie
for boxs.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay, No, you actually have a chance of that first
one happening. You do not have a chance of that
second one happening.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Agrees with me. No, they don't. No one is sat.
No one is gonna say Ted is number one. No
one else. Mark Wahlberg may say Ted is number one.
That's it. No one else is no one else. You're
not winning that you're not going I'll give you the
EVE been on them from the beginning, and I feel
great about them on Saturday, going home, hopefully getting Gabe
Vincent back because maybe he's the MVP. They missed him
(28:09):
tonight in a large way, and they look they got
blown out early. This was the Gabe Vincent game. But
this is this is one of those.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Times where hey, you put it away for game five
and game six is a much different story. The arena
is gonna be going crazy, and Jimmy Butler is going
to announce his presence right off the bat right he
knows they got to get out to a lead early,
telling you forty five for Jimmy Buckets on Saturday forty five.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Fort I like bold proclamations. Let's go forty No wishy washiness.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Here, no, no, no, no, no, no forty five four
to five for Jimmy Butler on Saturday. The Jason Spencer

(33:08):
why are teams on your never again list? Why why
teams on your list You're never gonna pick to do
anything again? And I say, well, it's because I don't
have the confidence that any of these teams are gonna
get going in the right direction long enough to actually win.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Oh I get it now, and now.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Today I get to tell you exactly more reasons why
the Raiders are on my never again list.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
It is an ever expanding list, it would seem it is.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
It is, But the Raiders are like they're like they're
like one of the founding fathers of this list.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Like it's like they're in the mount Rushmore of this list.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Sure, yeah, I mean then the seventy six ers USC
football schuit, they're all on this never again list. But
just go into what we saw today from the Raiders
will tell you all you need to know. First, you
ad former tight end Darren Waller, who was traded to
the Giants in the offseason.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Okay, not a bad move.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Waller's injured a lot is last big years a couple
of years ago, and he's over thirty. Okay, yeah, I
could see making that move. But Waller wasted no time
and talked to the media for one of the first
time since his trade to say, hey, I like it
here in New York because when I say something, people
pay attention to it.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
I respect the hell out of anything that they would
say or suggest or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
No, no, let's have Darren Waller. This is let's have
Darren Waller. Let's have Darren Waller. First.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
They value our opinions here, and you know, as a player,
I feel like a lot of places I've gone, it's
you know, you're you're told to do things a certain way,
and you and you do those things, and but here
it's like they ask a lot of questions They want
to know what you're thinking, why, what would you like
to do more and sort of offer inputs. A really
cool thing because you know, coach and players got to
(34:49):
be in partnership. We're all together and shouldn't be clashing
with each other. It's all we're all going the same direction.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
In other words, they never listened to me in Vegas
or Oakland. Hey listen to any of us, man. We
had ideas and all kinds of stuff, and you wonder
why they don't win.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
That's kind of what I heard from Darren Waller Mike Well.
He was saying, you know all those fantasy owners and
pundits that said, why don't I see the ball in
the red zone? I was calling for it. I was
trying to help you out and I met my point total.
But yeah, definitely, regardless of the coach, front office position, coaches,
(35:23):
et cetera, it sounds like it falls on deaf ears
that they've just got no matter who's sitting in the chair,
it's an empty suit as related to interacting and listening
to the players, even your stars. And that's the thing
coming from Waller that stands out now. Obviously, you know
he's had had some injuries at times and what have you.
(35:45):
But when available, he's a top three to five guy
at the position. You can just fight about it amongst yourself.
Maybe we'll do a top five tight end later on.
But the idea, because those go over so well that
if you're not listening to him and giving him some
input on the offense, like what are we doing? Isn't
it supposed to be a collaborative. I know, the buck
(36:07):
stops with the coach and the you know, first out
the door of things go awry see Joe Missoula conversations
from earlier today. But if you've got a guy performing
at that level and he thinks he sees something, seems
like you'd want that input.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
So there's that from Darren Waller. Okay, he's upset, he's
a little not happy. He was a raider. He liked
being a raider.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
But how about Davonte Adams, who's been happy as hell
to be a raider? Well maybe up until now.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Did an interview with The Athletic last week, and we
spent a lot of time talking about the comments he
made where he said he wanted to make first team
All Pro because he wanted to show he didn't need
Aaron Rodgers to be a great receiver.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
So we spent a lot of time on that.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
But also in the interview, he said that right now
he and the Raiders don't see eye to eye on
what's best for.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
The organization going forward.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
A wait a minute, the guy who's the face of
the franchise doesn't see eye to eye with the franchise,
So that was very critical. Today Josh McDaniels, Raiders head coach,
was asked about that and he said, Hey, he's earned
the right to say that about the team. And as
far as he and I go, Hey, I don't think
he's talking about me because he and I are tight,
we're friends.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
I respect the hell out of anything that they would
say or suggest or anything like that during the course
of the process of trying to improve our team, which
I know where DeVante comes from. He's a competitor. He
wants to win and that's really his sole focus. And
you know that's what he does here every day. He's
here pushing himself, pushing his teammates. He's been a tremendous
(37:41):
leader again this spring for our football team.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
So there it is, okay, So hey, he's earned a
right to say what he's got to say. He's been
a leader for us, but yeah, he's not happy with.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
The direction of the team.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
And I got to say, you have to listen to
him because he's right. How the hell is booting Derek
Carr for Jimmy Garoppolo?
Speaker 3 (38:03):
The plan? How is that the plan? Really was? How
was that the plan? You know?
Speaker 1 (38:07):
We gotta do We don't like that, So we're upgrading
from Derek Carr. No, we're gonna go to a guy
who's probably about as good as he is, maybe a
notch below, who also makes up for it by being
injured all the time.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Oh, that's the plan. Let's go get him. I mean,
how is that the plan? I'm a question who's coming
off his foot surgery as well? That we yeah? Or
low today? Right? Yeah? Oh, by the way, he had
foot surgery in March. Really yeah? Because after he's signed
with them? Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
I mean, this is how the Raiders do things. There's
no plan. The Raiders don't have a plan. They just
simply throw crap together every year and hope that it
sticks and it works. And you can blame a lot
of people. You can take a look at there's different
general managers, there's different coaches, different everything, but the one
constant since twenty ten has been Mark Davis. That's been
the constant. I can say, you know, why would you
(38:53):
stick with mackenzie for so long as a GM The
guy's record was forty and seventy two, So yeah, I
get that. But at the same time, people have come
and go quarterbacks, running backs, talent, head coach, everybody's.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Come and go. He's the one constant. The Raiders have
no plan.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
They have no plan, and when they do have the
tiniest bit of a plan, they cut bait on it
right away. I mean, this is why they're on my
never again list. They just can't get stuff together because
this off season plan a quarterback was just so unbelievably bad.
You know that, there was a bunch of guys in
a room going, maybe we'll get Aaron Rodgers, maybe we'll
get Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Hey, we're not getting you to those guys. Oh all right,
well let's make somebody Tom Brady. You did, he's part
of the ownership group. Now, yeah, okay, you got that
going for it. I mean, Josh McDaniels had his jokey
jokers and kind of things about that he gets approved
only if he comes clean about the tuck rule game
HAA the building, but the idea of being that maybe
(39:52):
it's the long play, and there's some pragmatism here recognizing
what you are in division. You swung and miss Don Rogers,
whatever those conversations were. So you start looking down the
depth chart with Jimmy Garoppolo when available, the guys won.
Now you can argue about the system and the personnel
(40:14):
and all of that, that's certainly true, but you have
an a list receiver in Adams and the guy that
was the rushing champion a year ago at your disposal
in the offense, and you went and you augmented that
as well. So maybe it's a long play. Jason look
to Wed like like the year three thousand, Well, maybe
they're taking knowing they can't win the division.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Greetings and welcome inside our three of The Jason Smith
Show with my biz friend Mike Harmon. Yeah that's right,
and oh boy, people are very upset with me about
the departed.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Okay, so when we.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Last left, when you last left us, we were celebrating
the Celtics keeping this series going alive by talking about
the town, because that's what we Joe Mizula watches four
times a week Celtics head coach. Now, maybe maybe this
is just me, but maybe with all the criticism he's
been getting, he should spend more time planning out.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Things that have to do with the game and watching
the town. But okay, but that game tape.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
But that's just me. I don't need to watch game tape.
I just need to watch the Jeremy Renner death scene again.
Sorry spoiler lit uh, I mean it's been around a
long time.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Come on, I know. And no, I wasn't talking about
the spoiler. I'm like, you know, just all the stuff
that poor Gas has been through. I mean that you
had to use that scene. That's the example of what
Maszooma was concentrating on. But come on, man, I mean
that's all the best of Jeremy Renner. By the way, Yeah,
that's like me.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Hey, Jason, you're working really hard. No, no, no, I'm just
gonna watch movies. I'm gonna I'm gonna watch Harry Potter
to deathly Allo's Part one.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
For the ninety eighth time. And to be fair, that
is part of regular background fodder for show prep. I
mean Law and Order episodes, Harry Potter, films, Star Wars,
you name it. You might get engrossed in a scene
or two, but generally you could work with those in
the background.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Hey, you want to come in early and get an
interview with Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan both them together. No,
I'd rather watch Infinity War again. So I'm gonna stay
open watch that.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Will they talk about the retirement Thanksgiving? If not?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
No, Hey, Jason, people want to launch their presidential campaigns
with you. Would you like to do that? Well, you
know what, you know, Shashank just startedtics. Shashank just started.
I kind of you know, I kind of would like
to see this through to the end. Again, I've got
it is.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It is kind of a rule that you once Shoshank
begins on your telling it, you can't change. No, no, no,
you can't know you can't. It's very difficult. It's very difficult.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Like Moneyball, money Come on, I'm not leaving if Moneyball
is on. You know, we've got to sit here and
talk about the calming influence of art.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
How it may or may not be on right now?
Is it on right now? Am I missing it? Yeah?
Where's it on? Is it on? AMC? Amc Oh, you're

at you.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
I double Wallburg to help, Yeah, which is ridiculous, which
you should look you You should lose a lot of
things for that. So we did to honor the Celtics
and Joe Mazool who watches The Town four times a week,

all the all time to take place in Boston. And
my list from from number five counting down to number one,
(04:06):

River number three, The Town number two, Social Network number one.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Right, I feel pretty good about that list. That's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You put likeaberg movies on Hey, hey, hey, what did
you put?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
You put every you put ted? You put ted two
you put I mean you did not put ted you
put War of the World's on there. You put everything. Hell,
you might have made a top ten list. It did
not make.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
First of all, things are anything with Mark Wahlberg, you
gotta just say, okay, no, sorry, you can't.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
You should be just elimited. You're trying to discount and
departed eliminate the count's wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Okay, okay, Now this is what everybody is mad about
me on Twitter about uh. First of all, The Departed
is Scorsese's like ninth best movie, and it's like, I
feel like about here, Yes, okay, I don't given you
the first one. That was a pretty good Wallburg So
that was except you didn't use the Boston accent, which
(05:10):
he uses wherever he's in the movie sometimes. The Departed
it's I feel like The Departed was a movie where
they said, hey, let's let's go through all the rejected
plot lines and extra video that we've shot in the
last twenty years of gangster movies and put it together
in one and we'll have some big stars. And that's
what we're gonna do. Like, I didn't think The Departed
(05:32):
was that great. I thought it was okay.
Speaker 3 (05:34):
You had you love his social network, you had big
work in it in Valley during that period. I shrugged
and staid moving on.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
But you had big people in it, and you had
a big twist, you know, towards the end, which I
liked the twist they had.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
But this was like a I mean, this is it
wasn't even like Goodfella's Light. Well, you should be happy
because it didn't end well for Wallberg and you're a
hatred of him. It ended fine Wahlberg in that movie.
Remember you had the booties on at the end.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Oh, by the way, giving away the end of the
movie in the trailers before going oh, okay, I guess
the movie's not gonna end until Wahlberg wears these booties
and shoot somebody. Oh oh, now I know how it's
gonna end. I mean, look, you think he walked out it? No,
the party was just the.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Party was just okay. It was just okay.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
It had a big cast, and like I said, you
had the big twist there.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
All right, great, but this is great. There's so many
better gangster movies, man, so many better Gangster again and
sot It Boston, and we're talking about performances, and we're
talking about my taste. Emert, you see you up in
the balcony, and I'll.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Tell you Social Network, you know, almost Famous is my
favorite movie of all time.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Right, I've told you that many times.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Social Network, boy, that's gotta be maybe in the top five.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
It was just done.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
So it's like social networks like the new Shawshank that
as time goes on, we're gonna be when Social Network
winds up getting wide plays. It's not really on that often.
It wouldn't get starting starting to get wide play. It's
gonna be the movie that people default to to continue
to watch, like we watch and continue to watch Awshank.
I mean, that's how good the movie was. That's how
well done.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
It was.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
The story that everybody's familiar with it is I'm telling
you social now. I mean, yeah, of course, there's some
liberties you take. You take liberties with what's going on. Yeah,
as my daughter a drama when she was.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
A child, you know, and and and creeping through when
we try to test out new foods, sometimes she just
pushed the plate away and just say it's not my
favorite and that's where I'm at with the Social Network.
So my favorite watched it was not my Uh, it's
not what I've gone back to for repeat viewings. How
do you not? And I love all the actors and
(07:41):
actresses that are in there. There's some of my favorite
and I love their works. I like their work. I
don't particularly care for the movie Wow, I mean Social Network.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Man, have one of the best scenes of all time
in movies, the scene when when justin Timberlake and uh
and and what's his name Jesse Eisenberg are at the
club and they're up and they're talking about this being
our time and you just hear the music in the
background and the way that shot.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
I mean, the best Luthor stop with that.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Come on, man, he's so unbelievable as Lex Luthor because
you know why, because he's he's because he's Facebook. Because
he's Mark Zuckerberg. That's why he can't be Lex Luthor.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Isn't that what Zuckerberg is seen as? Brag most what
I mean, what's its typecasting? At what a while?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Why do you think no one no one really says, oh,
you know the Andrew Garfield Spider Man was the best one.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Now because he's at Morto Savag. That guy's not spider Man.
Spider Man, he was the best, especially when Spider Man
went on to do tick tick boom.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Well, talk about a movie nobody saw. Nobody saw that.
Come on, fantastic, Come.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
On man, nobody saw it. Nobody saw people.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
If you said tick tick boom, people would go, isn't
that a line from the Hamilton Wait?
Speaker 3 (08:57):
No, is it is that? Oh?
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Is that a is that the Is that that movie
where Jeff Bridges plays the bomb expert?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
And go? Oh no, no, that was blown Away with
Tommy Lee Jones.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
No, I'm sorry, tick tick boom, tick tick boom, nobody
saw that one.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
I'm glad you didn't put that in any list.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And maybe the list of best movies that have the
word tick or boom in the title, I will give.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
You that that's in the top five. Did you actually
watch it? No, I said, I didn't watch the movie.
I love the thing. No, No, you said nobody saw it?
You did not see nobody? Yeah, and I didn't see it.
If it was that good, more people would have seen it.
It's really good movie. It's just like The Lakers and
the Nuggets. If more people like the Nuggets.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
We talk about them more, but more people like to
hear about the Lakers.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So okay, I really think you should watch it.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I think tick tick Boom is the Michael Porter junior
of this conversation? Are you kidding Social Networks and Lebron
James of this conversation?
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Uh huh, Hey, Chris, where's the music hit it? Hey? Yeah?
And who was?
Speaker 1 (09:57):
And oh, by the way, I fet and you had
Ted as your number one movie that takes place in
bass right, what are you kidding me?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
I needed a comedy and all of this no anger,
a lot of hate, a lot of mob movies, you'd be.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
It's not my fault you put all the look you
put all the Wahlberg movies.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
And that's not my fault. Man, that's not that you
did that on your own. You're talking about newspaper movies
and and crime. You know, here's a missing person and
crime spreeze. No, no, I wanted a little levity at
the top. And Ted's rewatchable at any time of the day. Ted, No,
it's not. Come on, man, come on, no, it's not.
(10:33):
It's not.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
And and you're not gonna suddenly become best friends with
Mark Wahlberg.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Because you're putting all his movies in there. I am
I looking to be best friends with I know, maybe
maybe I'm just defending him against the likes of you
that just disparage his good name and any work that
he's done. And maybe I'm not talking about but he's
done some bad things too. Maybe maybe like look his
his youth. I mean, obviously there's there's some bad stuff
back there. But we're talking about his movie career and
(10:59):
you're trying to throw away one of the great comedies.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Oh so now I see what you do, and you
you have lyrics for good vibrations too, and you want
to get that to them so you can be in
the video with him, and you guys both saying that
with your shirts off.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Essentially, no, I want to be in the video sequel
to feel feel feel feel feel feel my heat. I say,
it's just like he would that. That was that was terrible.
Tom Brady couldn't do that. So look, Tom Brady could
(11:33):
do that. There's your list.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I mean, there's those are your best Boston movies. There's
your best Boston movies, right, Yeah, you didn't have the
town in your in your list, in your top one,
you did, be sure because that Wahlburg wasn't in that.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I really Missedick number six Town, good Will Hunting. Okay,
I mean, are you gonna castigate me because I put
an Affleck movie in? I mean there's two Affleck movies.
Now everybody hates fan Affleck. Yeah, no, no, I do.
I know.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
I do feel weird about having two Affleck movies in there.
I don't know if I feel great about that.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
But I have two Affleck movies in, and then I
had The Departed and I had Ted. I can't just
too movies? Why that for a time.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed in your top two. I'm really disappointed.
I felt like I felt like you.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Just went back and I brought up tick Tick Boom
and you just because nobody knows what that is. And
so I had to disa about the guy that created
Because the musical Rent, millions upon millions of people have
either gone to New York and scene or seen a
traveling production or or dare I say, we may have
some former theater kids or current theater kids in our
(12:37):
audience that performed in a rendition of Rent? How dare you?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Ninety five percent of the people listening just like, Oh,
that's what that movie was about.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
Oh I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh that's what it's about. Okay, it's about the production
of Rent. Oh okay, No, I went a race to
go see that about the.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Guy that wrote it and I want to know then
wrote tick tick Boom and unfortunately passed away before Rent
went went live.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
I feel like I feel like when you went with
Departed and Ted, you just went with what are the
popular ones?
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Like you, you went with things that I like you
multiple repeat viewings, not something that moved and stirred me.
To the cop of my humanity. When I'm walking the beach,
I go into deep thoughts on I'm entertained. You know
you default.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
No, you defaulted to the to the these are them
movies about Boston, the people that you know, you know
what about the perspect about it?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
No. No, But here's the thing, Jason. It goes back
to what we were talking about before. Some of the
stories we cover here in sports talk radio and Sports
TV are not the greatest. They're not the ones that excited,
But we know that's what the masses like. Do I
want to talk about Lebron James all the time?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Hell?
Speaker 3 (13:44):
No, but you play the hits my man likewise departed
and Ted always bring him back for more.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Twitter and how about a fresca Mike gets swollen down

Speaker 3 (16:43):
Come that is damn right. Come on, you're insane.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
I'm trying to thunder Buddy thunder Buddies.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I had to bring some decorman, some class to it
by telling you that Social Network was the best movie
you ever take places in Boston because it was.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
When you hit us sound of thunder thunder Buddies for life. Man, Okay,

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Our way, especially if you disagree with Harmon, which you should.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
The Ted is the best movie ever take place in Boston?
I mean, I mean some people want Fever Pitch. I look,
Wahlberger Fallon. I can't put either of them in a
best movie in Boston. Come on, man, I gave you
a choice between the two. Okay, Jimmy Fallon quit acting.
Come on, I can't put him in that. I can't.
Come on, I just can't. No, no, no, I'm sorry,
(18:00):
it's not it's not. No, I'm not putting fever Pitch
in there.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You're You're crazy. It's enough you put ted and you
want to put fever Pitch. Do you want people to
not have any respect for you? And are you putting
fever Pitch in the top five?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
No?
Speaker 3 (18:11):
No, no, I'm just saying, in terms of Boston movies,
we're getting other recommendations to potentially be added to the list.
Some people like Fever Pitch.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, but not one of the top five movies it's
ever taken in and trying to make sure we didn't
forget about it.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
That's gotta people.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Have I seen less than five movies in Bofton ever,
and so I it's on my list because I haven't
seen the other ones. May they like the Red Sox
come on Twitter at how about a fresco?
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Mike has swallen to home the Jason Smith Show with
Mike Armet.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Now we're talking about this because the Celtics and they're
head coach Joe Mizzoula, who now, now is it his
fault or not his fault that they're now down three
to two.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Well, he's climbing his way out of the depths because
it was his fault and he was the worst coach
in the NBA and he was going to be fired.
But now it's three two and maybe now he's a
great coach. I don't know those guys that got hired.
I mean to be fair, there were a lot of
guys already dismissed, so he wouldn't have been last if
they'd been retained. But they were all fired so now,
(19:11):
I mean those rungs on the ladder have been chopped off.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Yeah, but everybody has told me how bad he is
and how bad a coach he is, and how he's
out of his depth and he shouldn't be heared.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
He was over matched at the beginning and all these things, and.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
It's all right, that's good. But now it's three to
two and maybe it's not his fault unless you know,
he just doesn't get any credit for being the coach
when they come back.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
And with it. Maybe the players today, Ah, that's what
it is. In the last two games, the players really
took it upon themselves saying, you know what, we really
need to pick up for Joe, and he woren't. I mean,
he wore it hard in the media, no question about it.
And the players, you know, humbly. Jason Tatum says, he's
one of the best there is, humbly, humbly, very humbly,
(19:53):
one of the humble superstar. Yeah, he wants to get
after it, so let's go humbly. Uh Yeah. So with
the Celtics winning, and Joe Mizula will be employed another
day because they're not eliminated yet. Now, he's a great
coach all but he sucks when they lose. But he's great.
You go, uh miss, that's the way the world works, though, Yeah, no, no, no,
mean you hate Buck Showalter every time you lose. Today
(20:16):
he's a genius because the polar Bear. Did you do
a ten to one win?
Speaker 7 (20:19):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I when have I blamed Buck Showalter for anything? I
could find the tape. I can have the tape played back.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
No, I don't have to have it played back to me. No,
I did not happen now, Lindor, Yeah, sure, and and
Vogel back, Yeah sure, but no, it's not not not Showalter.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
So with the Celtics.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Winning, hey, now we get back to Game six and
Joe Mizula can continue to watch the town for the
next couple of nights. Jimmy Butler met the media a
few moments ago a very pedestrian game for him and
the heat, and he talked about what went wrong tonight
and more importantly, what he basically guarantees for.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Game six and beyond. Here's Jimmy Butler from a few
moments ago.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Jimmy, your guys are still leading three to two. You
have a home game to close it out. What's the
sentsay after being up three to zero then losing two
in a row by a combined thirty points in the
locker room from you, what's the mindset now where the
series stands.
Speaker 8 (21:16):
He's got to play better, start the games off better
on the starters, make it more difficult for them. They're
in a rhythm since the beginning of the game. But
we're always going to stay positive knowing that we can
and we will win this series and we'll just have
to close it out at home.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Follow up on that, why is it that your confidence
and the group's confidence remains so high given the way
the last two games unfolding.
Speaker 8 (21:45):
Because the last two games are not who we are.
It just happened to be that way, and we stop
playing defense halfway because we didn't make shots that we
want to make correct. But we just gotta come out
and play harder from jump. So, like I always say,
it's gonna be all smiles. We're gonna keep it very,
(22:07):
very very consistent, knowing that we are going to win
the next game.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
We've been talking a little bit in here about how
they've made it harder on BAM. What does it look
like to you that the Celtics have changed defensively.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
I mean, I think they packed the pink really well,
switching really well and just contesting shots without fouling it.
That it's on us to get him in better positions
to score the ball, get it to him and transition
stuff like that. You know, when you look at the
film and you look at how we can be better
and getting him in into his spots, with the ball
in a position and with the time on the clock
(22:42):
to score, well, we'll be better at that.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
Obviously you miss Gabe, and he's important, and now there's
no Gabe, there's no Tiler, there's no Vic.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
Other guys did.
Speaker 4 (22:51):
Step up and give contributions. Heywood Duncan, is there a
comfort in knowing that there are other guys there and
that they were able to step for you and there's
other numbers and guys to call upon if needed.
Speaker 8 (23:04):
Yeah, without a doubt. Guys are so confident because they've
been in this position all year long, with guys in
and out of the lineup. They're constantly working on their game,
so they don't switch up anything just because you know
it's game five of the playoffs, er game five of
the season. They're going to do what they're comfortable with
They're going to do whatever you ask them to do,
(23:25):
and they're gonna play well like I feel like they
did in the Possessions in the time that they got
out there.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
All right, So there's Jimmy Butler leaving no stone unturned
with the opinion that we are going home and we
are winning this series in the next game. Now, we're
going to go home and win. We can win this series.
We will win this series. I want one thought to
be out here for you guys after here, we are
going to win this series, which is exactly what you
want to hear. Right This is how leader, This is
(23:53):
how leaders speak. Hey, maybe we're feeling a little bit
weird right now. We were up three zip. Now it's
three to two. The Celtics have momentum. You want to
hear someone say, hey, no, we got this. It's all good.
You know, there's times when hey, we want to get
a sense of desperation, but they kind of know where
the stakes are. Right now it's three to two, they're
given away. You want your leader to say, hey, we're
(24:13):
going to win this series. It's not that this is
going to happen. I've told you from the beginning. After
the game happened tonight. I had a bad feeling about
the Celtics night. I got a good feeling for the
for the Heat tonight, I got a good feeling for them.
In Game six. They got down twenty to five in
this game and they basically shut it down right. There
was no real run, there was no let's expend a
(24:33):
lot of energy to come back in this game. This
was what teams have done in the past. Hey, we
have a big lead, this game is not going our way.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
It's okay.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
We'll put it away and we'll be ready and be
and be a full energy level for the game at
home that we're gonna go close this out on.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
That's exactly what the Heat did.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
So I love the Heat in Game six, and not
only that, we haven't seen one in a little bit.
Jimmy Butler is due. He's gonna have one of those
forty five point playoff Jimmy games han't had one in
a bit. He's going home. It will happen on Saturday.
I'll tell you right now. If he doesn't score forty,
I will be really surprised. I'm gonna go forty five,
eight and seven for him and the Heat when they
(25:11):
go to the NBA Finals.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I like the boldness of your proclamation. You know, all
lies on Gay Vincent now, I mean he gets billing
and into the questions for Jimmy Butler, like, hey, you
already down. And I haven't heard Victor Oladipo referred to
as VIC before, but I gotta dig that. So obviously
we saw the Tyler hero video during the game and
(25:36):
all of that of his warm ups. But if Vincent's back,
you expand that rotation a lot of heavy minutes for
Kyle Lowry, who they've gotten. I think he's overachieved with
what their expectations were of it minutes. Not to dismiss
what he is, but when he's got to start logging
heavy minutes game the game, but he's not there anymore.
(25:58):
That's why he's coming off the bench in Miami. Good rotation,
good good effort here. It's just curious the close out
efforts on three point shooting weren't there. Celtics have found
the mark these last two games, so trying to see
what Spolstra and company can do at home for Game
six and clearly the Butler effect bam Adebayo in the
(26:23):
middle because Celtics eight wherever they wanted to today. Let's
call it what it is. Right that twenty to five lead,
you started seeing Derek White and Jalen Brown hitting three
point shots and then everybody got involved. Tatum struggled from
the outside but still finished with thirty four points, and
neither team shot a lot of free throws. It was
pretty clean in that regard. So a lot of made
(26:44):
field goals, both teams over fifty percent. So it's it's
gonna come down to some of the careless push the basketball,
and you want to have pace, no question about it.
But they got reckless. A ton of turnovers, throwing the
ball cross court number of times, and easy pickoff moves
by the Celtics defensively, so cleaning some of that up
(27:07):
and then the home court. I like, Look, Butler's demeanor
never changes, and that's one of the things. Not a
he's an unflappable guy. This is who who he is
and ride it out whether whether you like it or not.
And what's he gonna say? Yeah, you know what, they
got us right where they want us now. Now look,
we keep the paces, we go listen to our music,
(27:29):
drink our beer and wine, and we'll be ready for
game six, so I fully anticipate them closing it out,
thus making Harmon's prediction of the heat in the NBA
Finals reality, just like Ted is the number one movie
for boxs.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Okay, No, you actually have a chance of that first
one happening. You do not have a chance of that
second one happening.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Agrees with me. No, they don't. No one is sat.
No one is gonna say Ted is number one. No
one else. Mark Wahlberg may say Ted is number one.
That's it. No one else is no one else. You're
not winning that you're not going I'll give you the
EVE been on them from the beginning, and I feel
great about them on Saturday, going home, hopefully getting Gabe
Vincent back because maybe he's the MVP. They missed him
(28:09):
tonight in a large way, and they look they got
blown out early. This was the Gabe Vincent game. But
this is this is one of those.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Times where hey, you put it away for game five
and game six is a much different story. The arena
is gonna be going crazy, and Jimmy Butler is going
to announce his presence right off the bat right he
knows they got to get out to a lead early,
telling you forty five for Jimmy Buckets on Saturday forty five.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Fort I like bold proclamations. Let's go forty No wishy washiness.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Here, no, no, no, no, no, no forty five four
to five for Jimmy Butler on Saturday. The Jason Spencer

(33:08):
why are teams on your never again list? Why why
teams on your list You're never gonna pick to do
anything again? And I say, well, it's because I don't
have the confidence that any of these teams are gonna
get going in the right direction long enough to actually win.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
Oh I get it now, and now.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Today I get to tell you exactly more reasons why
the Raiders are on my never again list.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
It is an ever expanding list, it would seem it is.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
It is, But the Raiders are like they're like they're
like one of the founding fathers of this list.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Like it's like they're in the mount Rushmore of this list.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Sure, yeah, I mean then the seventy six ers USC
football schuit, they're all on this never again list. But
just go into what we saw today from the Raiders
will tell you all you need to know. First, you
ad former tight end Darren Waller, who was traded to
the Giants in the offseason.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Okay, not a bad move.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Waller's injured a lot is last big years a couple
of years ago, and he's over thirty. Okay, yeah, I
could see making that move. But Waller wasted no time
and talked to the media for one of the first
time since his trade to say, hey, I like it
here in New York because when I say something, people
pay attention to it.
Speaker 7 (34:18):
I respect the hell out of anything that they would
say or suggest or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
No, no, let's have Darren Waller. This is let's have
Darren Waller. Let's have Darren Waller. First.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
They value our opinions here, and you know, as a player,
I feel like a lot of places I've gone, it's
you know, you're you're told to do things a certain way,
and you and you do those things, and but here
it's like they ask a lot of questions They want
to know what you're thinking, why, what would you like
to do more and sort of offer inputs. A really
cool thing because you know, coach and players got to
(34:49):
be in partnership. We're all together and shouldn't be clashing
with each other. It's all we're all going the same direction.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
In other words, they never listened to me in Vegas
or Oakland. Hey listen to any of us, man. We
had ideas and all kinds of stuff, and you wonder
why they don't win.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
That's kind of what I heard from Darren Waller Mike Well.
He was saying, you know all those fantasy owners and
pundits that said, why don't I see the ball in
the red zone? I was calling for it. I was
trying to help you out and I met my point total.
But yeah, definitely, regardless of the coach, front office position, coaches,
(35:23):
et cetera, it sounds like it falls on deaf ears
that they've just got no matter who's sitting in the chair,
it's an empty suit as related to interacting and listening
to the players, even your stars. And that's the thing
coming from Waller that stands out now. Obviously, you know
he's had had some injuries at times and what have you.
(35:45):
But when available, he's a top three to five guy
at the position. You can just fight about it amongst yourself.
Maybe we'll do a top five tight end later on.
But the idea, because those go over so well that
if you're not listening to him and giving him some
input on the offense, like what are we doing? Isn't
it supposed to be a collaborative. I know, the buck
(36:07):
stops with the coach and the you know, first out
the door of things go awry see Joe Missoula conversations
from earlier today. But if you've got a guy performing
at that level and he thinks he sees something, seems
like you'd want that input.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
So there's that from Darren Waller. Okay, he's upset, he's
a little not happy. He was a raider. He liked
being a raider.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
But how about Davonte Adams, who's been happy as hell
to be a raider? Well maybe up until now.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
Did an interview with The Athletic last week, and we
spent a lot of time talking about the comments he
made where he said he wanted to make first team
All Pro because he wanted to show he didn't need
Aaron Rodgers to be a great receiver.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
So we spent a lot of time on that.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
But also in the interview, he said that right now
he and the Raiders don't see eye to eye on
what's best for.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
The organization going forward.
Speaker 1 (37:00):
A wait a minute, the guy who's the face of
the franchise doesn't see eye to eye with the franchise,
So that was very critical. Today Josh McDaniels, Raiders head coach,
was asked about that and he said, Hey, he's earned
the right to say that about the team. And as
far as he and I go, Hey, I don't think
he's talking about me because he and I are tight,
we're friends.
Speaker 7 (37:17):
I respect the hell out of anything that they would
say or suggest or anything like that during the course
of the process of trying to improve our team, which
I know where DeVante comes from. He's a competitor. He
wants to win and that's really his sole focus. And
you know that's what he does here every day. He's
here pushing himself, pushing his teammates. He's been a tremendous
(37:41):
leader again this spring for our football team.
Speaker 1 (37:45):
So there it is, okay, So hey, he's earned a
right to say what he's got to say. He's been
a leader for us, but yeah, he's not happy with.
Speaker 3 (37:52):
The direction of the team.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
And I got to say, you have to listen to
him because he's right. How the hell is booting Derek
Carr for Jimmy Garoppolo?
Speaker 3 (38:03):
The plan? How is that the plan? Really was? How
was that the plan? You know?
Speaker 1 (38:07):
We gotta do We don't like that, So we're upgrading
from Derek Carr. No, we're gonna go to a guy
who's probably about as good as he is, maybe a
notch below, who also makes up for it by being
injured all the time.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Oh, that's the plan. Let's go get him. I mean,
how is that the plan? I'm a question who's coming
off his foot surgery as well? That we yeah? Or
low today? Right? Yeah? Oh, by the way, he had
foot surgery in March. Really yeah? Because after he's signed
with them? Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
I mean, this is how the Raiders do things. There's
no plan. The Raiders don't have a plan. They just
simply throw crap together every year and hope that it
sticks and it works. And you can blame a lot
of people. You can take a look at there's different
general managers, there's different coaches, different everything, but the one
constant since twenty ten has been Mark Davis. That's been
the constant. I can say, you know, why would you
(38:53):
stick with mackenzie for so long as a GM The
guy's record was forty and seventy two, So yeah, I
get that. But at the same time, people have come
and go quarterbacks, running backs, talent, head coach, everybody's.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Come and go. He's the one constant. The Raiders have
no plan.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
They have no plan, and when they do have the
tiniest bit of a plan, they cut bait on it
right away. I mean, this is why they're on my
never again list. They just can't get stuff together because
this off season plan a quarterback was just so unbelievably bad.
You know that, there was a bunch of guys in
a room going, maybe we'll get Aaron Rodgers, maybe we'll
get Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
Hey, we're not getting you to those guys. Oh all right,
well let's make somebody Tom Brady. You did, he's part
of the ownership group. Now, yeah, okay, you got that
going for it. I mean, Josh McDaniels had his jokey
jokers and kind of things about that he gets approved
only if he comes clean about the tuck rule game
HAA the building, but the idea of being that maybe
(39:52):
it's the long play, and there's some pragmatism here recognizing
what you are in division. You swung and miss Don Rogers,
whatever those conversations were. So you start looking down the
depth chart with Jimmy Garoppolo when available, the guys won.
Now you can argue about the system and the personnel
(40:14):
and all of that, that's certainly true, but you have
an a list receiver in Adams and the guy that
was the rushing champion a year ago at your disposal
in the offense, and you went and you augmented that
as well. So maybe it's a long play. Jason look
to Wed like like the year three thousand, Well, maybe
they're taking knowing they can't win the division.
