The way tire buying should be. Well. We are just
(00:52):
minutes away from the Marquee Baseball Game of the Night,
the Angels and the Dodgers. It's Clayton Kershawn Knight, It's
Otani and it's the Everything the Dodgers have right now
is on the mound starting this game. They can't hit,
They're bullpen stinks, the rest of their starting pitching stinks.
This is all they have right now is Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
How many innings can we get out of Clayton Kershaw eighteen?
This is one that I would love for the great
social experiment of all time for Clayton to say, have
a nice no, no going after six and then to
see the death stare at Dave Roberts if he were
to try to send an emissary or dare he try
(01:32):
to walk that walk over to Clayton himself?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
This game, Jason better start at seven oh seven. Oh
they the Angels might push it. Maybe be a first
pitch from this seven seven. Maybe Scoot Henderson throws it
the second overall pick in the draft before one tonightho
was he gonna hit? He's gonna hit a maskout or something.
I don't know. Man, seven oh seven, we're going I
don't know. Mike Trout is still doing warm ups. They're
gonna push that start and piss off Clayton Kersher. It
(01:57):
really only matters when it's the seven to ten home game.
Rightly gets well, yes, he would get more because here, yeah,
I mean, I'm the franchise. You're gonna start. I mean
here we could.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Be talking about today's whatever the show Hamtani giveaway is sure.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's got to be every day is an O tany giveaway? Right,
they're giving something. I don't know what it is, Jason.
At first pitch isn't at seven o seven, I'm stealing
that Samurai hat from the Angels, dugout. It's a good hat.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It's a good look between that the fedora that the
White Sox have going hats are in and I and
I want.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
To just you know, throw this out of it because
you know now that I have a dog, I take
him the dog park a few times a week, right
to the dog parks. Yeah, I go to the dog park,
not the dog track, the dog park dog track before
dog could you get him to start racing dog dogs?
He's very short legs, He's very tiny. Dog run like
Babe Ruth. Now. He likes to play. He wants to
play with everybody. He does not afraid. He gets up
(02:54):
on his hind legs to play with big dogs. All
does he wear mais no, no, no, that's for the
winter time. I haven't gotten. He does have a jets
like sweater like when the poor little guy he's got
that no, but it come out. He's walking around like
on both high legs, like, we got Aaron Rodgers now roof,
does it really just throw up and you call it
a jet sweater? We got Aaron Rodgers roof roof. So
I take him there yesterday and I sit next to
(03:16):
these two guys and all they're doing is talking about
betting baseball. That's all they did. That's all they're doing,
all these different bets. And I'm just sitting here listening
to them going. And both of them loved the Angels
on the money line tonight, and I'm like, they go, yeah,
Kershaw all the money, love the Angels on a money line.
I'm like, really, okay, So we'll see what happens tonight.
We'll see how it goes. So the night guys know
(03:39):
what they're talking about.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
The Dodgers' money line minus one thirty okay, Angels plus
one fifteen, one ten, something like that. I think part
of it is the well Kershaw is only going six yeah,
and the Dogs bullpen is getting the bannings to potentially
cause chaos. Yeah, where you don't have your high leverage
guys at full capacity, you've had to go to the bullpen,
and many many many times thus far, so trying to
(04:04):
pull the strings, and you've generally been able to find
the bad apple.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So we'll see angels on the money line. Let's let's
see see because now if they're right, and they would,
now I got to go back to the dog park
when they get there and sit there and listen to
them again. So okay, you know you're talking. Let's see
if you do it again. Let's see you do it again. Well,
really that was their way of disparaging the Dodgers without
being upfront about it. Okay, we'll see. But they're talking
about money. This is money. This is not This is
(04:31):
not loving one team and hating another team. This is money.
This is this is everything is green. Everybody likes Green Jetso.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Hey, anybody that wants to go in and start just
betting baseball, good on them. That is not an easy
path to roll through. Uh, justin Frostberg, got's let you know.
We are in a commercial break right now. It is
seven oh six and twenty five.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I've got people out at the stadium. I don't know
if this game is gonna start seven o seven. I
don't know. Man, first pitch has to be in thirty seconds.
It's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. Never make
it happen. Let me call put my money, give me
the angels on the money line. He's going to hell.
Game it time.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Psychologically, the Dodgers are gonna be out of the I
mean they're still hanging out and yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
They're still still warm ups. Oh so hang on, Oh
another nine seconds left. Seven. It's not gonna start on time,
not gonna start on long walk from the on dexer.
There's still a guy on the field with some kind
of machinery. This is not seven o seven. We just

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Opening part of the lineup to tank it so he

Speaker 1 (07:16):
He may he may say he's done. He may say, look,
I'm Done'm not pitching tonight. That's not happening. It's not
I'm not You tried to pull a fast on over
everybody in the studio, as if you'd been told that
that was the case. Uh so we have this game
we're keeping track of obviously beginning of the Freeway series,
and yes, the Zion Williamson Mariah Mills. Well, what's the matter, buddy?
(07:39):
You gave me a look, what's the matter? Oh, it's
not you. What I gotta got shaving in my in
my I'm trying to do a radio show here, but
I'm playing grabats. I'm looking at what time it is,
and now I got this guy shaving, which what the hell?
Stop for one second? Okay, you saw me take a
picture of Fentley so I could save it for his
(07:59):
up date in twenty minutes ago. Hey, because we talked
about him shaving in studio last time being no, no, yes,
Brian Finley shaving and studio people like I'm just saying
for the moment, saving it. He just took me out
of my space. We were trying four monitors in that.
We were talking about Mariah Mills. It's a it's an
adult film actress and Zion Williamson and you're stuck on
(08:21):
friendly shaving. But we said, I got the picture. I'm
saving it.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
All right, let me pull up Mariah Mills and then
we'll be able to go from there.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So Mariah Mills is the adult film actress that has well,
let's just say, made Zion Williamson even a bigger story
than he is the last few days as trade rumors
circulate around Zion Williamson, and we'll get into that over
the course of the night. She has gotten upseted him
after he tweeted out a picture of himself and his
girlfriend has a baby, reveal he and his girlfriend are
(08:51):
having a baby. Mariah Mills not happy, going on social
media saying I was just with Zion. They had just
had sex and now here he is a lot of
other DJ have lots of other details too early for those,
but we knew, you know all Hey, we were together.
I can't believe you did this all of these different things.
Hey what it's like, what wrong button? All right? Fr
(09:17):
forg hit the wrong button? There so so she puts out, hey,
I you know, I'm upset with this Zion. And then
she put out messages that Zion was talking about trying
to pay for her to come live in New Orleans
and how much would it cost for me to to
put you up in a place where you can be
you know, my my girl on the side, And that
became a big story. Now today she goes on social media,
(09:39):
it says, oh, Pelicans should trade him because the sex
tape is gonna come out soon, and she repeatedly threatens
Zion Williamson with the release of a sex tape. And
after a while, Twitter decided, after like thee to the
seventh or eighth time, Twitter has banned Mariah Mills from
social media. Now wait a minute, let me get this
(09:59):
from social media. On social media, any given day, I
can scroll through and see any type of conspiracy and
rhetoric and hate. Yeah, oh hit.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
But the fact that she may or may not have
a sex tape with Zion Williamson, or multiple sex tapes,
that's a suspendable events.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Elon Musk is a Pelicans fan. You always say Adam
Silver doesn't do anything, can he make the call? And
that he order the code read nobody wants to see this.
We gotta get Mariah Mills off because she threatened him
like seven times. The sex tape is coming. The sex
tape is coming. Wait, don't get ready for it. Get ready, Pelicans.
He deserve to be in New Orleans. Suddenly she's like Wojes,
(10:43):
like an NBA insider, WHOA A sex tape is coming?
Is there a trade coming? All of that? My goodness.
But you know I'm seeing this unfold now and I
just go, oh my god. You know, the guy can't
stay on the floor. He may be traded, and now
you know, dealing with this situation, which is crazy, and
you know, look, it's it seems like it's one of
(11:03):
those Hey man, you make your own Everybody makes their
own decisions in life. Right, you're an adult. You know,
you get to a point where you're getting paid a
lot of money to you make your own decisions. Right,
you make your own decisions. But here's a situation where
this is where I I don't want to say I
feel sympathy for stars, And look, do I feel sympathy
for this is going on? And he's what he's got
(11:25):
going on? I got a pregnant girlfriend, here's an adult
film actress, or scissors a sex station.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I don't pretend to know any any man's or a
woman's relationships and how things work.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I do. I do feel for stars in that relationships
they have. They can't just have relationships like you and
I do, right because of because of social media, because
there's always people who want things in relationships. And look,
this is not where I'm saying one of them is
right in one of them. So I'm not saying it
because I don't know the ins and outs design Williamson's
(11:57):
relationship with Mariah Mills. Oh I do you do? You
do really well? You just said what happens? Yeah, I see,
I see see that. You laid that up and he
went and don't get like Zion used to. That was
when he was on the war.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
There's another three sixty jumping hell.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Nothing, but I do. I do get that. Boy. It's
it's very difficult because if things go sideways, stuff like
this happens because there's no thing, there's nothing to stop
this from happening. Okay, if you wind up not treating
(12:38):
me right or things got like I said, however, it
goes if it happens for you and I it's okay, well,
hey this this didn't go well. What happened? Well, you
know I was dating this one girl and then you
know she was pregnant. We're gonna be together. But I
was actually stepping out with another girl and we were
kind of hooking up and she found out and she
was mad. Oh it was just a mess. Yeah, but
then you move on. Right now, this is something This
(12:58):
plays out in front of the entire world. The entire
world knows Zion Williamson's business and Mariah Mills. So part
of it is I feel that I understand you can't
have that regular kind of relationship because it's if if
there's always, how is it going to end? How do
we deal it? This is why Derek Jeter has gift
bags all wonderful rules of engagement and recognizing who you
(13:22):
with and where if it does go south, it's not
going to be all over the socials, as opposed to
just a little bit of chatter with their girlfriends over
coffee or some mimosas on ront.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
No.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Here, I'm trying to decide for what all the emojis
were and everything. But there's a dragon, yeah, a tiger
and a candle Okay, So apparently she's watched his House
of the Dragon Tiger King and what looks like a
drop of blood. AZ's all line and drop of blood.
She just watched the trailer for Craven.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Okay, go ahead. I explained that.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Well, the tiger's there too, though, because the tiger would
have been Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
So she's going back to that. You're going back to
that's a while, all right, Yeah, sure, Yeah, there's a
there's a lot of a lot going on here talking
about sleepless nights. Yeah, talking about spitting and mouths and
why were they sleepless? Mike, Well, I'll tell you. I
think the sleepless nights were the fun part. I think
(14:23):
the other I think this he had those, and now
he has these.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Sleepless nights, and maybe now it's a little more of
the King Diamond variety.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
We're a little scared of what you might find, man.
I'll tell you, uh again, I I I understand how
how hard to just think about that, how hard it
is for for anybody when there's a breakup in Hollywood,
there's always a race because no one wants to be
the person to be known as the bad guy there
and then you get situations like this where it's like, dude,
you're you're, you're. Your dirty laundry is out everywhere for everybody. Man,
(14:55):
go on, dude, you got it, and he started yelling
we were at a break. There's also a race to
be the next one in line though, too, Hollywood. Oh yeah, no, no,
I tell you it was Zion. I think they want
to see where he winds up first, Like, where's he
gonna get traded?

to get reinstated on Twitter just to tweet at me, going,

a tricep. That would that would be a difficult proposition. Well,
(16:18):
I put my triceps out there. I'm saying what you
would be able to try to figure out how to
I was just trying to choose my words very carefully
to entertain, not to entertain Mariah Mill I would say, listen,
none of this stuff on Twitter. After it's over, okay,
none of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I mean, look, the phone goes over there, it's in
a pouch. This is like you're at a Chappelle show.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It's over there. You want to leave the room, then
you can have it back for a second. Hey, Jason,
I'll be tell everybody. All you want to do is
talk about how much the Mets sucked. I don't know
who this Verlaunder guy is or I don't know who
Shanza is. But all you wanted to do was talk
about the Mets. I don't even know. I can't. I
walked out. Well, I mean you did list that dirty
talk was part of the discussion about the phone in
(17:03):
the boot. And I don't care about Rogers. Stop yelling
Rogers every five second. Stop doing that. Whatever gets you through.
I want.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Everybody's got their thing. I mean there's probably a percentage
that that'll work for it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well you want to do is just talk about the
Jets and Saws and all these I don't care. Wait, wait, wait,
wait till the Mets tape comes out, Jason, wait to
let Mets tape?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Is there a dating site for Jets fans?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
When we beat the Chargers this year, I'm gonna dance
on top of your car and I'm gonna cut it
in half with a hack saw. I thought you were
going my grave. I really thought he was gonna get
dark there for I'm gonna say, I'm gonna I'm gonna
saw your car in half. All of a sudden, he's
got the giant in circular saw and you got sparks
flying everyone. I watched leather Face the nay he actually
(17:55):
had triceps. You don't. We really couldn't. I got, I
got tries, man, right, I'm sorry you don't have them.
I'm sorry, but I do a lot of work to
get these tricks, and we should put up a pole
who has the best tries. Listen, don't at Mariah Mills.
She's gonna be She'll find a way to get back
on though. You can't just burn her accounts, man, come on,
(18:16):
She'll be able to get her message out. I got,
She's got.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Over a million minions that are more than happy to
for the exchange of I don't know one of the
many photos that's already on the internet.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
She said it just to.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Me be be eat.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I mean, there's a home Minions land open, and I'm
sure plenty of them would bow to the altar of
Mariah Mills.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
So tonight, in the NBA, we are two days away
from this person becoming the next biggest star in the sport.
Victor Womanyama is likely going to be the well is
going to be the first overall pick in the draft
by the San Antonio Spurs, who won the draft bound
tonight he threw out the first ball at the Yankee
game after taking the subway. Yeah he did. Now we
(19:02):
have a hot take on Victor webban two hot takes
on Victor Wembaniana come in your way? How do you
know that he just walked over it? No, he jumped
over the turns seven. Someone else ran their card. That's
what I don't know. I've seen the video, Mike, he said,
I ain't paying for that. I don't think you can
go to the Spurs anymore. Here he is throwing out
(19:24):
the first pitch before the game tonight. Well, we promised
you the Victor Weben Yama first pitch.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
He will be the first pick on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Night in the NBA drafter iright, guys, here we go
seven to four.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Oh, let's see.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh no, they're they're more often awful than good, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
When other sports trying to.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So there's a play by play Yankee CV Network on
the call, Yes Network, And he throws the ball a
little bit outside, like a little bit Well, certainly we've
seen it. Yeah worse. Yeah, and I don't I don't
think he was trying to throw it badly to go
look at me. Oh no, no, he doesn't draft. But
it was a bad first pitch. It was a bad
first pitch.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
It doesn't throw a lot of baseball, and the ball
is I mean tiny, right, we compare it.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
It is in a second. But I ask you this first,
is he fully understanding that boy? On Thursday, I'm going
to be a member of San Antonio Spurs. I need
to tank every second I get to try to get
the Spurs to not draft me because I want to
go someplace else. So he's was this him tanking to
make the Spurs think, oh man, that first ball was
(20:36):
bad and they find that a whole bunch of other
stuff going on. Maybe he's trying, Maybe he's trying to
get out of the Spurs. He's trying to go. No,
I would go counter to everything, right because he's talked
about the childhood team, the Tony Parker thing. I mean,
where does he want to go? If not there, then where?
I mean?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Michael George is not running Charlotte anymore. So it's not
to go hang out with him.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
So I don't. Yeah, it was just a terrible pitch.
It was bad, But like I said, we've seen a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
We've seen a lot of them where it seems destined
for a I need a little bit of juice for
an album coming out, a movie coming out, a TV
show that we're trying to get picked up.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Or I haven't had a song in ten years, so
here we go.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I'm a model, slash golf expert, or whatever the case
may be, that you can get after it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
In this case, it's just a guy that, uh just
made a bad pitch. At least it was still in
the batter's box, close on the on the left hands
kind of it that it wouldn't have me anymore. But no, no, no,
or would it be so far that was just so
far behind him you wouldn't have to worry about it. Well,
And then he charged them ount? Yeah are you charging them?
Mount of the guy? Yeah, he's seven. You get inside him,
(21:42):
he's seven to four. You would get three steps, his
hand would be out on your head and you'd be
like trying to run doing that. I'm gonna get you.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
We're gonna we're gonna see how nimbly is you might
do a barrel roll. I don't know how, but I'm
gonna work him inside. It's like in the cartoon, he's
got one in on your head.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The other head. He's just eating an apple looking off. Now, okay, okay,
he's seven for heys seven. Although seven to four and
one hundred and ninety five pounds that might be able
to run him over a little bit. But you talked
about the big thing, and now this is one of
the most iconic pictures of all time. Is Andre the
Giant holding a beer can in his hand and standard
(22:20):
twelve ounce can and it looks like he's holding a
mini can right like it's a standard twelve ounce can,
and and it looks like he's holding one of those
when you get those eight ounce little shooters or like
diet coke or diapepsy, whatever it is. That's what it
looks like he's on. It's like, oh my god, look
how huge Andre the Giant's hand is. Right, So that's
always been the picture of man. You talk about a
guy who's big. Wembin Yama's picture today of his hands
(22:45):
folded entirely over the baseball. His fingers are touching his
palm with the baseball in his hand. I gotta tell you,
I maybe I'm prisoner of the moment, but the Wembin
Yama picture of his finger is coming over the ball
and touching his palm all the that's more impressive. That's
greater than the Andre the giant holding the beer in
(23:06):
his head.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Well, I might create some AI art where he's now
like God cradling the universe. It's so large here, it
is God holding the earth in his hand, this massive being.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
In this little sphere. I can't get over the picture.
And his nails are pretty long too. He almost looks
like he could be like like a like a bad
guy in a movie, like a vampire. Well, you're like,
I'll scratch it out, Louis, my, Louis Egg, you are
a keller. You are a keller. Uh, that's more impressive.
The honor of the giant thing, Oh my god, that's
(23:44):
that's crazy. But to be able to fold your hand
hold the baseball in the palm of your hands like
a gumball, Jason, like he's holding a gumball. Got holding
a gobstopper. I got a gobstopper, my end, he's got
a baseball. That's insane. Yeah, it's really not fair.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I mean he gets to be seven to four and
I'm five, put nothing, sitting next to a guy with
no sleeves.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
What next to a guy. But at least I'm kind
of a big deal. What kind of pitches could I'm
gonna ignore that. What kind of pitches could you throw
with your hair? Like, how easy would it be to
throw some kind of split finger or something whatever. I mean,
that's dick of the pitches you could invent, but that
never been around before. Think of the point you're never
(24:26):
gonna be able to see what he's actually throwing allop
doing it. He's got an eight seam fastball because his
hands fingers go over eights. It the four here and
the four on the other side. It's got an eight
seam fastball. What does that mean the thing breaks in
half when it gets to the plate. Well, I mean
he doesn't release until he's about two feet from you. Oh,
(24:47):
he could smack you right in the face. I remember
how he used to talk about it from Brandy Johnson.
His release point in the following through, that he's that
much closer. Could you have one mina on the follow through?
Could he just reach all the way over and you
have to art you're swinging. He would just move the
ball down and hand it to the catcher. That's it.
He's like the guy that can cheat at Carnie Games
back where he's got the reds. He just lays the
(25:08):
ball and then he can take your bat away while he's.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah and Beyama just hit the bat or with his back.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
It doesn't even seem real that picture, It doesn't. It
doesn't even seem real. So, I mean, it's it's like
Ai has come to first pitches. He's got the whole
world's inspect his head to go gadget code. It's so,
what do you guys think, is he gonna get pushed
around in the NBA? Well, he'll get pushed around until
(25:39):
the Spurs say you're gonna go in a very special
diet right now. But even then, what's he gonna put
on pounds and hit? Come on, he's young, he's you know,
he's he's nineteen years old. Do you think he's going
to turn in the shock as undred percent? He will
turn into shock or you know he's not gonna put
on another one hundred. We don't even need him, We
just need Ai Victor Webbin Yama. You can make him
whatever you want to true, then he could be come on,
(26:01):
he's a generational guy. Not if it's a failure, then
he could be seven four to two eighty five and
forget it, absolutely forget it. Yeah, the the expectations on
this guy are absolutely obscend We got plenty of time here.
But here's the thing to be serious about that is
that in the old NBA, I would say, yeah, like
a guy like minute Ball, who as tall as he was,
(26:22):
would get pushed around a little bit because the big
men always had to be in the pain. Sure it
was that this was where he was in the nineties.
It would have been hard, it would have been very difficult.
But now position NBA guy, look at a guy like
Porzingis who can hit threes and is making my hand
way right, and Giannis the same way. But Porzingis was
was was really not filled out when he was young
(26:44):
and needed to get a little bit bulkier so he
could play at least sixty games a year. But with
so much of the game being away from the rim,
now woman Yama doesn't need to be done. He doesn't
need to be backing up Hakim in the post going okay,
watch this, watch me, Yeah you try to dream shake me.
I'm sending this back in your face. That's not the
NBA anymore. In the nineties. Yeah, but now do you
think you've just adopped any of the current style of
(27:05):
Tim Duncan while hanging around You mean, like just not
talk the sandals, the curls in the hair. I hope
he's more interesting than Michelle's and stuff. Tim Duncans just
really should have been more interesting, should have been more fun.
But it was just Tim Duncan. He's great. Yeah, he
might have been really fun behind the scenes. Yeah, yeah,
but that's not us though we don't know. Ye, we
(27:26):
needed to be more fun. I mean, that's why you
know the Joker suddenly was fun. Well, yeah, I don't
want to go to a parade. Now I'm at the parade.
My brothers are holding me up in the air allegedly, allegedly.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
And now he's gone.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Now I'm going, I'm going. I'm gone. Now we watched
it happen in real time. Wembin Yama will be absolutely
fine in the NBA again years ago questions. But that's
that's why he's once in a lifetime pick. He's gonna
be out. He's gonna push the next round, man, no
question about. He's in the Western the only face exactly.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
He'll never have to worryry about him because if when
Minyama is the guy that they need him to be.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's irrelevant because the Knicks will just be another first pick.
The next miss, we'll just have Zion Guard again.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Tonight, apparently Tysher's playing all songs that I think of
when I think of someone having They're in a club
and they're having a drug induced haze and they're chasing
a bad guy, uh throughout the club and everybody else
is dancing, and the good guy is chasing the bad
guy through escapes, through the cops, going through either a
(28:39):
strip club or yeah yeah yeah, yeah no no kind
of mory. But there's a lot of drug stuff going on,
and like what was the Tom Cruise collateral, Like when
they're chasing them through Yeah, poor Mark Ruffalo, you know
what I mean? That was sorry spoiler remix, Yeah I was.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I was thinking that might have also been the soundtrack
to whatever Tate Mariah Mills.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Oh, Who's She's made every snow. I don't think it
was fast enough beat though. At the end of your
first year, discover credit cards automatically double all the cash
back you've earned. That's right, everything you earned is doubled. Seriously,
seat terms check it out for yourself at discover dot com.
Slash match Building. We'll have more on Mariah Mills and
(29:21):
Zion Williamson coming out not the ultar nick yet not
the only NBA story tonight involving sex. Can we talk
about that other one though? Yeah, it's a little weird.
I can't wait to do that story because you can't
wait because I'm gonna slay you with what I'm gonna
do with it. Oh, I'm gonna slave. But I just
remember the headline it went, whoa I uh, look, we
(29:43):
tell you we are show we are Tomorrow's takes the
night before And it's been a month where we've told
you Look, Shoho Tani is not getting traded all right?
Big story right now with the Freeway Series Angels and
the Dodgers, Dodgers still in playoff contention. They have not
been playing well. They're pitching as terrible, the're hitting this
is terrible. Angels have been a big surprise, right They're
eight games over five hundred right now. They hold one
(30:05):
of the American Leagues wildcard playoff spots and the Angels.
The general manager said, yeah, hey, it's highly unlikely we
trade show Heyotani, given where we are in the standings
right now. Now the Angels wouldn't say, hey, we're definitely
not but we told you a month ago. The Angels
are in playoff contention. There's one trade deadline. It's at
the end of July. The Angel would have to go
(30:26):
on a on a run of bad play and bad
luck just incredibly, they'd have to have such incredibly fast
spiral downward to be able to say we're out of it.
We're trading Showiotani, who would be a free agent at
the end of the year. But you're eight games over,
you're playing okay. Your division's not great, the AL Central
(30:48):
isn't great, the AL East is great, and everybody's beating
each other up. But you have one division that stinks,
one is really good. Yours is just okay. You have
a wildcard spot. Yeah, no, you're not trading Otani. It's
not happening. Even if they somehow go eight games under
five hundred over the course of the next month or
five weeks, you're still at five hundred at the end
(31:08):
of July, which is in contention for a playoff spot.
If you're five hundred the end of July, you're in contention.
And it's not happening. We told you a month ago. Look,
it's not gonna go on the way the Angels are playing.
This is all this stuff. Bad Division, bad Central. You're
not thinking about any wildcards from that division as well.
The AL East is really good, but they're gonna beat
each other up. They're already beating each other up the
(31:29):
Yankees aer The Yankees are in trouble right now and
they're struggling, and they're you know GM Brian Cashman saying,
I believe in our roster. So yeah, it's not happening.
He will stay an Angel for the rest of this season.
He's gonna get to the playoffs or in the playoff chase.
We'll get to see him in September, and it will
be a really big deal because one thing we have
seen is that in baseball there are a few stars
(31:52):
who stand out who drive conversation no matter what. Alex
Rodriguez drove conversation for years in Major League Baseball, Barry
before him. Now it's gone to show Heyo Tani and
he's the one guy that drives conversation because he does
things that none of us have ever seen before. He
cuts through the clutter. So this is a great story
in Major League Baseball. It's great to see him to
(32:13):
be great to see the Angels in some kind of run.
I'm a little upset it'll be tougher to get tickets
to games and like going there and spreading out and
parking right up outside the stadium and getting all those
big Cholow chip cookies when I go in. I'll have
to deal with that going to see the Angels play.
But it's not happening. He's staying an Angel. He's not
getting traded. Yeah, I think that only happens when the
Dodgers are in town. Yeah, maybe the Yankees. Other than that,
(32:35):
I think you're still pretty good. I don't know if
they're in the playoff chase and the Las Vegas A's
come into town, I don't know. I think he'll still
be all right there.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
But you know, the larger point is, you know when
when you're in contention great. The other part is as
the ownership group. Even though Moreno explored the possibility, what
can I get for the team and all that fun stuff,
You'd rather go down as the team that he chose
to just walk away from than the one.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
You gave away. Because what what is true fair market
value for sho heo tani? Like? What are you getting's?
The only teams that can afford him are all contenders,
and it would be gott to be It's gotta be
a team that would say we're getting you and we're
signing you to an extension. I mean, we're not gonna
get your rent you for two months. It's we're getting
(33:22):
you and signing you to an extension that's you know,
takes you to a very small list of teams. And
what are they gonna give up to get him? That?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Mad I may actually be detrimental to what they'd built
to be a contender.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
What a nice guy?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I am? Wow, so magnanimous.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
That's the only thing that that happens there is the
salaries after he signs his extension would match up like
it was an NBA deal.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
But otherwise, you run it its course and if it
goes badly, it goes badly. In the interim. If this
is the Swan song and he is going to sign away,
you do everything you can to get every ass in
a seat and churn as much cash as you can.
They can have four back. I'll throw in Cinder, Garth
and Steven. Matt he hasn't got yet. They got everybody
(34:09):
and Matt Harvey. Why not? Who's now working for some
kind of financial group now, Matt Harvey? Uh? Coming up next?
Are we really going to see a huge NBA trade
before the draft on Thursday? Fox

The way tire buying should be. Well. We are just
(00:52):
minutes away from the Marquee Baseball Game of the Night,
the Angels and the Dodgers. It's Clayton Kershawn Knight, It's
Otani and it's the Everything the Dodgers have right now
is on the mound starting this game. They can't hit,
They're bullpen stinks, the rest of their starting pitching stinks.
This is all they have right now is Clayton Kershaw.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
How many innings can we get out of Clayton Kershaw eighteen?
This is one that I would love for the great
social experiment of all time for Clayton to say, have
a nice no, no going after six and then to
see the death stare at Dave Roberts if he were
to try to send an emissary or dare he try
(01:32):
to walk that walk over to Clayton himself?
Speaker 1 (01:35):
This game, Jason better start at seven oh seven. Oh
they the Angels might push it. Maybe be a first
pitch from this seven seven. Maybe Scoot Henderson throws it
the second overall pick in the draft before one tonightho
was he gonna hit? He's gonna hit a maskout or something.
I don't know. Man, seven oh seven, we're going I
don't know. Mike Trout is still doing warm ups. They're
gonna push that start and piss off Clayton Kersher. It
(01:57):
really only matters when it's the seven to ten home game.
Rightly gets well, yes, he would get more because here, yeah,
I mean, I'm the franchise. You're gonna start. I mean
here we could.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Be talking about today's whatever the show Hamtani giveaway is sure.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It's got to be every day is an O tany giveaway? Right,
they're giving something. I don't know what it is, Jason.
At first pitch isn't at seven o seven, I'm stealing
that Samurai hat from the Angels, dugout. It's a good hat.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
It's a good look between that the fedora that the
White Sox have going hats are in and I and
I want.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
To just you know, throw this out of it because
you know now that I have a dog, I take
him the dog park a few times a week, right
to the dog parks. Yeah, I go to the dog park,
not the dog track, the dog park dog track before
dog could you get him to start racing dog dogs?
He's very short legs, He's very tiny. Dog run like
Babe Ruth. Now. He likes to play. He wants to
play with everybody. He does not afraid. He gets up
(02:54):
on his hind legs to play with big dogs. All
does he wear mais no, no, no, that's for the
winter time. I haven't gotten. He does have a jets
like sweater like when the poor little guy he's got
that no, but it come out. He's walking around like
on both high legs, like, we got Aaron Rodgers now roof,
does it really just throw up and you call it
a jet sweater? We got Aaron Rodgers roof roof. So
I take him there yesterday and I sit next to
(03:16):
these two guys and all they're doing is talking about
betting baseball. That's all they did. That's all they're doing,
all these different bets. And I'm just sitting here listening
to them going. And both of them loved the Angels
on the money line tonight, and I'm like, they go, yeah,
Kershaw all the money, love the Angels on a money line.
I'm like, really, okay, So we'll see what happens tonight.
We'll see how it goes. So the night guys know
(03:39):
what they're talking about.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
The Dodgers' money line minus one thirty okay, Angels plus
one fifteen, one ten, something like that. I think part
of it is the well Kershaw is only going six yeah,
and the Dogs bullpen is getting the bannings to potentially
cause chaos. Yeah, where you don't have your high leverage
guys at full capacity, you've had to go to the bullpen,
and many many many times thus far, so trying to
(04:04):
pull the strings, and you've generally been able to find
the bad apple.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
So we'll see angels on the money line. Let's let's
see see because now if they're right, and they would,
now I got to go back to the dog park
when they get there and sit there and listen to
them again. So okay, you know you're talking. Let's see
if you do it again. Let's see you do it again. Well,
really that was their way of disparaging the Dodgers without
being upfront about it. Okay, we'll see. But they're talking
about money. This is money. This is not This is
(04:31):
not loving one team and hating another team. This is money.
This is this is everything is green. Everybody likes Green Jetso.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Hey, anybody that wants to go in and start just
betting baseball, good on them. That is not an easy
path to roll through. Uh, justin Frostberg, got's let you know.
We are in a commercial break right now. It is
seven oh six and twenty five.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
I've got people out at the stadium. I don't know
if this game is gonna start seven o seven. I
don't know. Man, first pitch has to be in thirty seconds.
It's not gonna happen. It's not gonna happen. Never make
it happen. Let me call put my money, give me
the angels on the money line. He's going to hell.
Game it time.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Psychologically, the Dodgers are gonna be out of the I
mean they're still hanging out and yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
They're still still warm ups. Oh so hang on, Oh
another nine seconds left. Seven. It's not gonna start on time,
not gonna start on long walk from the on dexer.

of machinery. This is not seven o seven. We just

He may he may say he's done. He may say, look,
I'm Done'm not pitching tonight. That's not happening. It's not
I'm not You tried to pull a fast on over
everybody in the studio, as if you'd been told that
that was the case. Uh so we have this game
we're keeping track of obviously beginning of the Freeway series,
and yes, the Zion Williamson Mariah Mills. Well, what's the matter, buddy?
(07:39):
You gave me a look, what's the matter? Oh, it's
not you. What I gotta got shaving in my in
my I'm trying to do a radio show here, but
I'm playing grabats. I'm looking at what time it is,
and now I got this guy shaving, which what the hell?
Stop for one second? Okay, you saw me take a
picture of Fentley so I could save it for his
(07:59):
up date in twenty minutes ago. Hey, because we talked
about him shaving in studio last time being no, no, yes,
Brian Finley shaving and studio people like I'm just saying
for the moment, saving it. He just took me out
of my space. We were trying four monitors in that.
We were talking about Mariah Mills. It's a it's an
adult film actress and Zion Williamson and you're stuck on
(08:21):
friendly shaving. But we said, I got the picture. I'm
saving it.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
All right, let me pull up Mariah Mills and then
we'll be able to go from there.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
So Mariah Mills is the adult film actress that has well,
let's just say, made Zion Williamson even a bigger story
than he is the last few days as trade rumors
circulate around Zion Williamson, and we'll get into that over
the course of the night. She has gotten upseted him
after he tweeted out a picture of himself and his
girlfriend has a baby, reveal he and his girlfriend are
(08:51):
having a baby. Mariah Mills not happy, going on social
media saying I was just with Zion. They had just
had sex and now here he is a lot of
other DJ have lots of other details too early for those,
but we knew, you know all Hey, we were together.
I can't believe you did this all of these different things.
Hey what it's like, what wrong button? All right? Fr
(09:17):
forg hit the wrong button? There so so she puts out, hey,
I you know, I'm upset with this Zion. And then
she put out messages that Zion was talking about trying
to pay for her to come live in New Orleans
and how much would it cost for me to to
put you up in a place where you can be
you know, my my girl on the side, And that
became a big story. Now today she goes on social media,
(09:39):
it says, oh, Pelicans should trade him because the sex
tape is gonna come out soon, and she repeatedly threatens
Zion Williamson with the release of a sex tape. And
after a while, Twitter decided, after like thee to the
seventh or eighth time, Twitter has banned Mariah Mills from
social media. Now wait a minute, let me get this
(09:59):
from social media. On social media, any given day, I
can scroll through and see any type of conspiracy and
rhetoric and hate. Yeah, oh hit.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
But the fact that she may or may not have
a sex tape with Zion Williamson, or multiple sex tapes,
that's a suspendable events.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Elon Musk is a Pelicans fan. You always say Adam
Silver doesn't do anything, can he make the call? And
that he order the code read nobody wants to see this.
We gotta get Mariah Mills off because she threatened him
like seven times. The sex tape is coming. The sex
tape is coming. Wait, don't get ready for it. Get ready, Pelicans.
He deserve to be in New Orleans. Suddenly she's like Wojes,
(10:43):
like an NBA insider, WHOA A sex tape is coming?
Is there a trade coming? All of that? My goodness.
But you know I'm seeing this unfold now and I
just go, oh my god. You know, the guy can't
stay on the floor. He may be traded, and now
you know, dealing with this situation, which is crazy, and
you know, look, it's it seems like it's one of
(11:03):
those Hey man, you make your own Everybody makes their
own decisions in life. Right, you're an adult. You know,
you get to a point where you're getting paid a
lot of money to you make your own decisions. Right,
you make your own decisions. But here's a situation where
this is where I I don't want to say I
feel sympathy for stars, And look, do I feel sympathy
for this is going on? And he's what he's got
(11:25):
going on? I got a pregnant girlfriend, here's an adult
film actress, or scissors a sex station.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
I don't pretend to know any any man's or a
woman's relationships and how things work.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
I do. I do feel for stars in that relationships
they have. They can't just have relationships like you and
I do, right because of because of social media, because
there's always people who want things in relationships. And look,
this is not where I'm saying one of them is
right in one of them. So I'm not saying it
because I don't know the ins and outs design Williamson's
(11:57):
relationship with Mariah Mills. Oh I do you do? You
do really well? You just said what happens? Yeah, I see,
I see see that. You laid that up and he
went and don't get like Zion used to. That was
when he was on the war.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
There's another three sixty jumping hell.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Nothing, but I do. I do get that. Boy. It's
it's very difficult because if things go sideways, stuff like
this happens because there's no thing, there's nothing to stop
this from happening. Okay, if you wind up not treating
(12:38):
me right or things got like I said, however, it
goes if it happens for you and I it's okay, well,
hey this this didn't go well. What happened? Well, you
know I was dating this one girl and then you
know she was pregnant. We're gonna be together. But I
was actually stepping out with another girl and we were
kind of hooking up and she found out and she
was mad. Oh it was just a mess. Yeah, but
then you move on. Right now, this is something This
(12:58):
plays out in front of the entire world. The entire
world knows Zion Williamson's business and Mariah Mills. So part
of it is I feel that I understand you can't
have that regular kind of relationship because it's if if
there's always, how is it going to end? How do
we deal it? This is why Derek Jeter has gift
bags all wonderful rules of engagement and recognizing who you
(13:22):
with and where if it does go south, it's not
going to be all over the socials, as opposed to
just a little bit of chatter with their girlfriends over
coffee or some mimosas on ront.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
No.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Here, I'm trying to decide for what all the emojis
were and everything. But there's a dragon, yeah, a tiger
and a candle Okay, So apparently she's watched his House
of the Dragon Tiger King and what looks like a
drop of blood. AZ's all line and drop of blood.
She just watched the trailer for Craven.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Okay, go ahead. I explained that.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Well, the tiger's there too, though, because the tiger would
have been Charlie Sheen.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
So she's going back to that. You're going back to
that's a while, all right, Yeah, sure, Yeah, there's a
there's a lot of a lot going on here talking
about sleepless nights. Yeah, talking about spitting and mouths and
why were they sleepless? Mike, Well, I'll tell you. I
think the sleepless nights were the fun part. I think
(14:23):
the other I think this he had those, and now
he has these.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Sleepless nights, and maybe now it's a little more of
the King Diamond variety.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
We're a little scared of what you might find, man.
I'll tell you, uh again, I I I understand how
how hard to just think about that, how hard it
is for for anybody when there's a breakup in Hollywood,
there's always a race because no one wants to be
the person to be known as the bad guy there
and then you get situations like this where it's like, dude,
you're you're, you're. Your dirty laundry is out everywhere for everybody. Man,
(14:55):
go on, dude, you got it, and he started yelling
we were at a break. There's also a race to
be the next one in line though, too, Hollywood. Oh yeah, no, no,
I tell you it was Zion. I think they want
to see where he winds up first, Like, where's he
gonna get traded?

(15:55):
I mean sons out mann, guy, I mean said my
triceps are just forget it, man, I should not pull
mine out then if you like it? Yes? Is that
an insect on his arm? If? I if? I if?
Because some sentry. Mariah Mills will do everything she could
to get reinstated on Twitter just to tweet at me, going,
that's I didn't know what to do with that. That's
a tricep. That would that would be a difficult proposition. Well,
(16:18):
I put my triceps out there. I'm saying what you
would be able to try to figure out how to
I was just trying to choose my words very carefully
to entertain, not to entertain Mariah Mill I would say, listen,
none of this stuff on Twitter. After it's over, okay,
none of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
I mean, look, the phone goes over there, it's in
a pouch. This is like you're at a Chappelle show.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
It's over there. You want to leave the room, then
you can have it back for a second. Hey, Jason,
I'll be tell everybody. All you want to do is
talk about how much the Mets sucked. I don't know
who this Verlaunder guy is or I don't know who
Shanza is. But all you wanted to do was talk
about the Mets. I don't even know. I can't. I
walked out. Well, I mean you did list that dirty
talk was part of the discussion about the phone in
(17:03):
the boot. And I don't care about Rogers. Stop yelling
Rogers every five second. Stop doing that. Whatever gets you through.
I want.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Everybody's got their thing. I mean there's probably a percentage
that that'll work for it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Well you want to do is just talk about the
Jets and Saws and all these I don't care. Wait, wait, wait,
wait till the Mets tape comes out, Jason, wait to
let Mets tape?
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Is there a dating site for Jets fans?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
When we beat the Chargers this year, I'm gonna dance
on top of your car and I'm gonna cut it
in half with a hack saw. I thought you were
going my grave. I really thought he was gonna get
dark there for I'm gonna say, I'm gonna I'm gonna
saw your car in half. All of a sudden, he's
got the giant in circular saw and you got sparks
flying everyone. I watched leather Face the nay he actually
(17:55):
had triceps. You don't. We really couldn't. I got, I
got tries, man, right, I'm sorry you don't have them.
I'm sorry, but I do a lot of work to
get these tricks, and we should put up a pole
who has the best tries. Listen, don't at Mariah Mills.
She's gonna be She'll find a way to get back
on though. You can't just burn her accounts, man, come on,
(18:16):
She'll be able to get her message out. I got,
She's got.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Over a million minions that are more than happy to
for the exchange of I don't know one of the
many photos that's already on the internet.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
She said it just to.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Me be be eat.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
I mean, there's a home Minions land open, and I'm
sure plenty of them would bow to the altar of
Mariah Mills.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
So tonight, in the NBA, we are two days away
from this person becoming the next biggest star in the sport.
Victor Womanyama is likely going to be the well is
going to be the first overall pick in the draft
by the San Antonio Spurs, who won the draft bound
tonight he threw out the first ball at the Yankee
game after taking the subway. Yeah he did. Now we
(19:02):
have a hot take on Victor webban two hot takes
on Victor Wembaniana come in your way? How do you
know that he just walked over it? No, he jumped
over the turns seven. Someone else ran their card. That's
what I don't know. I've seen the video, Mike, he said,
I ain't paying for that. I don't think you can
go to the Spurs anymore. Here he is throwing out
(19:24):
the first pitch before the game tonight. Well, we promised
you the Victor Weben Yama first pitch.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
He will be the first pick on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Night in the NBA drafter iright, guys, here we go
seven to four.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
Oh, let's see.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh no, they're they're more often awful than good, aren't they?
Speaker 2 (19:48):
When other sports trying to.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
So there's a play by play Yankee CV Network on
the call, Yes Network, And he throws the ball a
little bit outside, like a little bit Well, certainly we've
seen it. Yeah worse. Yeah, and I don't I don't
think he was trying to throw it badly to go
look at me. Oh no, no, he doesn't draft. But
it was a bad first pitch. It was a bad
first pitch.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
It doesn't throw a lot of baseball, and the ball
is I mean tiny, right, we compare it.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
It is in a second. But I ask you this first,
is he fully understanding that boy? On Thursday, I'm going
to be a member of San Antonio Spurs. I need
to tank every second I get to try to get
the Spurs to not draft me because I want to
go someplace else. So he's was this him tanking to
make the Spurs think, oh man, that first ball was
(20:36):
bad and they find that a whole bunch of other
stuff going on. Maybe he's trying, Maybe he's trying to
get out of the Spurs. He's trying to go. No,
I would go counter to everything, right because he's talked
about the childhood team, the Tony Parker thing. I mean,
where does he want to go? If not there, then where?
I mean?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Michael George is not running Charlotte anymore. So it's not
to go hang out with him.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
So I don't. Yeah, it was just a terrible pitch.
It was bad, But like I said, we've seen a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
We've seen a lot of them where it seems destined
for a I need a little bit of juice for
an album coming out, a movie coming out, a TV
show that we're trying to get picked up.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Or I haven't had a song in ten years, so
here we go.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
I'm a model, slash golf expert, or whatever the case
may be, that you can get after it.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
In this case, it's just a guy that, uh just
made a bad pitch. At least it was still in
the batter's box, close on the on the left hands
kind of it that it wouldn't have me anymore. But no, no, no,
or would it be so far that was just so
far behind him you wouldn't have to worry about it. Well,
And then he charged them ount? Yeah are you charging them?
Mount of the guy? Yeah, he's seven. You get inside him,
(21:42):
he's seven to four. You would get three steps, his
hand would be out on your head and you'd be
like trying to run doing that. I'm gonna get you.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
We're gonna we're gonna see how nimbly is you might
do a barrel roll. I don't know how, but I'm
gonna work him inside. It's like in the cartoon, he's
got one in on your head.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
The other head. He's just eating an apple looking off. Now, okay, okay,
he's seven for heys seven. Although seven to four and
one hundred and ninety five pounds that might be able
to run him over a little bit. But you talked
about the big thing, and now this is one of
the most iconic pictures of all time. Is Andre the
Giant holding a beer can in his hand and standard
(22:20):
twelve ounce can and it looks like he's holding a
mini can right like it's a standard twelve ounce can,
and and it looks like he's holding one of those
when you get those eight ounce little shooters or like
diet coke or diapepsy, whatever it is. That's what it
looks like he's on. It's like, oh my god, look
how huge Andre the Giant's hand is. Right, So that's
always been the picture of man. You talk about a
guy who's big. Wembin Yama's picture today of his hands
(22:45):
folded entirely over the baseball. His fingers are touching his
palm with the baseball in his hand. I gotta tell you,
I maybe I'm prisoner of the moment, but the Wembin
Yama picture of his finger is coming over the ball
and touching his palm all the that's more impressive. That's
greater than the Andre the giant holding the beer in
(23:06):
his head.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Well, I might create some AI art where he's now
like God cradling the universe. It's so large here, it
is God holding the earth in his hand, this massive being.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
In this little sphere. I can't get over the picture.
And his nails are pretty long too. He almost looks
like he could be like like a like a bad
guy in a movie, like a vampire. Well, you're like,
I'll scratch it out, Louis, my, Louis Egg, you are
a keller. You are a keller. Uh, that's more impressive.
The honor of the giant thing, Oh my god, that's
(23:44):
that's crazy. But to be able to fold your hand
hold the baseball in the palm of your hands like
a gumball, Jason, like he's holding a gumball. Got holding
a gobstopper. I got a gobstopper, my end, he's got
a baseball. That's insane. Yeah, it's really not fair.
Speaker 3 (23:59):
I mean he gets to be seven to four and
I'm five, put nothing, sitting next to a guy with
no sleeves.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
What next to a guy. But at least I'm kind
of a big deal. What kind of pitches could I'm
gonna ignore that. What kind of pitches could you throw
with your hair? Like, how easy would it be to
throw some kind of split finger or something whatever. I mean,
that's dick of the pitches you could invent, but that
never been around before. Think of the point you're never
(24:26):
gonna be able to see what he's actually throwing allop
doing it. He's got an eight seam fastball because his
hands fingers go over eights. It the four here and
the four on the other side. It's got an eight
seam fastball. What does that mean the thing breaks in
half when it gets to the plate. Well, I mean
he doesn't release until he's about two feet from you. Oh,
(24:47):
he could smack you right in the face. I remember
how he used to talk about it from Brandy Johnson.
His release point in the following through, that he's that
much closer. Could you have one mina on the follow through?
Could he just reach all the way over and you
have to art you're swinging. He would just move the
ball down and hand it to the catcher. That's it.
He's like the guy that can cheat at Carnie Games
back where he's got the reds. He just lays the
(25:08):
ball and then he can take your bat away while he's.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah and Beyama just hit the bat or with his back.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
It doesn't even seem real that picture, It doesn't. It
doesn't even seem real. So, I mean, it's it's like
Ai has come to first pitches. He's got the whole
world's inspect his head to go gadget code. It's so,
what do you guys think, is he gonna get pushed
around in the NBA? Well, he'll get pushed around until
(25:39):
the Spurs say you're gonna go in a very special
diet right now. But even then, what's he gonna put
on pounds and hit? Come on, he's young, he's you know,
he's he's nineteen years old. Do you think he's going
to turn in the shock as undred percent? He will
turn into shock or you know he's not gonna put
on another one hundred. We don't even need him, We
just need Ai Victor Webbin Yama. You can make him
whatever you want to true, then he could be come on,
(26:01):
he's a generational guy. Not if it's a failure, then
he could be seven four to two eighty five and
forget it, absolutely forget it. Yeah, the the expectations on
this guy are absolutely obscend We got plenty of time here.
But here's the thing to be serious about that is
that in the old NBA, I would say, yeah, like
a guy like minute Ball, who as tall as he was,
(26:22):
would get pushed around a little bit because the big
men always had to be in the pain. Sure it
was that this was where he was in the nineties.
It would have been hard, it would have been very difficult.
But now position NBA guy, look at a guy like
Porzingis who can hit threes and is making my hand
way right, and Giannis the same way. But Porzingis was
was was really not filled out when he was young
(26:44):
and needed to get a little bit bulkier so he
could play at least sixty games a year. But with
so much of the game being away from the rim,
now woman Yama doesn't need to be done. He doesn't
need to be backing up Hakim in the post going okay,
watch this, watch me, Yeah you try to dream shake me.
I'm sending this back in your face. That's not the
NBA anymore. In the nineties. Yeah, but now do you
think you've just adopped any of the current style of
(27:05):
Tim Duncan while hanging around You mean, like just not
talk the sandals, the curls in the hair. I hope
he's more interesting than Michelle's and stuff. Tim Duncans just
really should have been more interesting, should have been more fun.
But it was just Tim Duncan. He's great. Yeah, he
might have been really fun behind the scenes. Yeah, yeah,
but that's not us though we don't know. Ye, we
(27:26):
needed to be more fun. I mean, that's why you
know the Joker suddenly was fun. Well, yeah, I don't
want to go to a parade. Now I'm at the parade.
My brothers are holding me up in the air allegedly, allegedly.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
And now he's gone.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Now I'm going, I'm going. I'm gone. Now we watched
it happen in real time. Wembin Yama will be absolutely
fine in the NBA again years ago questions. But that's
that's why he's once in a lifetime pick. He's gonna
be out. He's gonna push the next round, man, no
question about. He's in the Western the only face exactly.
Speaker 3 (27:59):
He'll never have to worryry about him because if when
Minyama is the guy that they need him to be.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
It's irrelevant because the Knicks will just be another first pick.
The next miss, we'll just have Zion Guard again.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith
Show with Mike harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven
pm Pacific.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Tonight, apparently Tysher's playing all songs that I think of
when I think of someone having They're in a club
and they're having a drug induced haze and they're chasing
a bad guy, uh throughout the club and everybody else
is dancing, and the good guy is chasing the bad
guy through escapes, through the cops, going through either a
(28:39):
strip club or yeah yeah yeah, yeah no no kind
of mory. But there's a lot of drug stuff going on,
and like what was the Tom Cruise collateral, Like when
they're chasing them through Yeah, poor Mark Ruffalo, you know
what I mean? That was sorry spoiler remix, Yeah I was.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I was thinking that might have also been the soundtrack
to whatever Tate Mariah Mills.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Oh, Who's She's made every snow. I don't think it
was fast enough beat though. At the end of your
first year, discover credit cards automatically double all the cash
back you've earned. That's right, everything you earned is doubled. Seriously,
seat terms check it out for yourself at discover dot com.
Slash match Building. We'll have more on Mariah Mills and
(29:21):
Zion Williamson coming out not the ultar nick yet not
the only NBA story tonight involving sex. Can we talk
about that other one though? Yeah, it's a little weird.
I can't wait to do that story because you can't
wait because I'm gonna slay you with what I'm gonna
do with it. Oh, I'm gonna slave. But I just
remember the headline it went, whoa I uh, look, we
(29:43):
tell you we are show we are Tomorrow's takes the
night before And it's been a month where we've told
you Look, Shoho Tani is not getting traded all right?
Big story right now with the Freeway Series Angels and
the Dodgers, Dodgers still in playoff contention. They have not
been playing well. They're pitching as terrible, the're hitting this
is terrible. Angels have been a big surprise, right They're
eight games over five hundred right now. They hold one
(30:05):
of the American Leagues wildcard playoff spots and the Angels.
The general manager said, yeah, hey, it's highly unlikely we
trade show Heyotani, given where we are in the standings
right now. Now the Angels wouldn't say, hey, we're definitely
not but we told you a month ago. The Angels
are in playoff contention. There's one trade deadline. It's at
the end of July. The Angel would have to go
(30:26):
on a on a run of bad play and bad
luck just incredibly, they'd have to have such incredibly fast
spiral downward to be able to say we're out of it.
We're trading Showiotani, who would be a free agent at
the end of the year. But you're eight games over,
you're playing okay. Your division's not great, the AL Central
(30:48):
isn't great, the AL East is great, and everybody's beating
each other up. But you have one division that stinks,
one is really good. Yours is just okay. You have
a wildcard spot. Yeah, no, you're not trading Otani. It's
not happening. Even if they somehow go eight games under
five hundred over the course of the next month or
five weeks, you're still at five hundred at the end
(31:08):
of July, which is in contention for a playoff spot.
If you're five hundred the end of July, you're in contention.
And it's not happening. We told you a month ago. Look,
it's not gonna go on the way the Angels are playing.
This is all this stuff. Bad Division, bad Central. You're
not thinking about any wildcards from that division as well.
The AL East is really good, but they're gonna beat
each other up. They're already beating each other up the
(31:29):
Yankees aer The Yankees are in trouble right now and
they're struggling, and they're you know GM Brian Cashman saying,
I believe in our roster. So yeah, it's not happening.
He will stay an Angel for the rest of this season.
He's gonna get to the playoffs or in the playoff chase.
We'll get to see him in September, and it will
be a really big deal because one thing we have
seen is that in baseball there are a few stars
(31:52):
who stand out who drive conversation no matter what. Alex
Rodriguez drove conversation for years in Major League Baseball, Barry
before him. Now it's gone to show Heyo Tani and
he's the one guy that drives conversation because he does
things that none of us have ever seen before. He
cuts through the clutter. So this is a great story
in Major League Baseball. It's great to see him to
(32:13):
be great to see the Angels in some kind of run.
I'm a little upset it'll be tougher to get tickets
to games and like going there and spreading out and
parking right up outside the stadium and getting all those
big Cholow chip cookies when I go in. I'll have
to deal with that going to see the Angels play.
But it's not happening. He's staying an Angel. He's not
getting traded. Yeah, I think that only happens when the
Dodgers are in town. Yeah, maybe the Yankees. Other than that,
(32:35):
I think you're still pretty good. I don't know if
they're in the playoff chase and the Las Vegas A's
come into town, I don't know. I think he'll still
be all right there.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
But you know, the larger point is, you know when
when you're in contention great. The other part is as
the ownership group. Even though Moreno explored the possibility, what
can I get for the team and all that fun stuff,
You'd rather go down as the team that he chose
to just walk away from than the one.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
You gave away. Because what what is true fair market
value for sho heo tani? Like? What are you getting's?
The only teams that can afford him are all contenders,
and it would be gott to be It's gotta be
a team that would say we're getting you and we're
signing you to an extension. I mean, we're not gonna
get your rent you for two months. It's we're getting
(33:22):
you and signing you to an extension that's you know,
takes you to a very small list of teams. And
what are they gonna give up to get him? That?
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Mad I may actually be detrimental to what they'd built
to be a contender.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Why not?
Speaker 2 (33:37):
What a nice guy?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
I am? Wow, so magnanimous.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
That's the only thing that that happens there is the
salaries after he signs his extension would match up like
it was an NBA deal.
Speaker 1 (33:48):
But otherwise, you run it its course and if it
goes badly, it goes badly. In the interim. If this
is the Swan song and he is going to sign away,
you do everything you can to get every ass in
a seat and churn as much cash as you can.
They can have four back. I'll throw in Cinder, Garth
and Steven. Matt he hasn't got yet. They got everybody
(34:09):
and Matt Harvey. Why not? Who's now working for some
kind of financial group now, Matt Harvey? Uh? Coming up next?
Are we really going to see a huge NBA trade
before the draft on Thursday? Fox
