I'll help you get there an unmatched selection, fast free shipping,
free roadhazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers tirac
(00:47):
dot com the way tire buying should be. Now, I
got two things right off the top. Okay. Number one,
can we please get the mets on? I had the
mets on in the other room. They got second in
five or two outs of the ninth then, and can
we please get the mets Secondly, whoever is stealing my
ice cream from the freezer, I am onto you. I
(01:09):
am onto you now for stealing my ice cream from
the freezer. Can we get it finger printed? You think
they're in the system. I I hope so, because people
aren't even stealing my ice cream, Like that's a whole
thing of ice cream that's in there. Like because what
I do is I buy a thing of ice cream
and usually it last me like three or four days.
I have a little bit, a little bit, a little bit. Yeah,
so like later the last couple of times I've bought
(01:31):
ice cream and I've had, you know, three, usually three
or four scoops at night, and it's fine, three or
four scoops. I put it back in the freezer. Gone gone, gone,
back back back back, back back back, gone, last two times,
gone gone, stolen ice cream gone. Looney doesn't even work
here anymore. It's true and still gone. My ice cream
is gone.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Because he used to be very brazen about it. Yes, yes,
And it was the kind of thing where there.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Was he would say, oh, I had I had that
chicken palm last night. It was good. I was saving
really taste. Thanks for bringing that in. Yeah, okay, can
you guys hear me.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
But it was the difficulty of respecting the bravado of
just saying, ah, this is what I'm doing the brazenness
or being like, dude, the hell's wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'm stealing like this is ridiculous. You're stealing ice cream.
It's stealing on already eaten ice cream, like like I've
eaten a quarter of it. I'm gonna steal the ice cream?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, I mean, just like when you maybe put things
and heat it to a certain level to kill off bacteria,
just freezing.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It do the same. I don't know, man, but now
I'm on to you, whoever it is, I'm on to you, Jason.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I have a solution for you.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yes, what's that?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Just start buying healthy food and nobody touches it. Nobody
touched my stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Then I know you're do you think that's there's a
coincidence there? Yes, okay, oh, I know any of that
stuff a.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Good way to keep your own stuff, right, I mean
that's you know, I have eclectic taste, you like you
know this?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I like something a little off kilters.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And you don't even want to know what that hole
in your ice cream was?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
What is that? It's seaweed wrapped seaweed. I don't want that.
I don't know. I'm not gonna eat that, Jason, bring
I know he brought good stuff. Let's have something he brought. Ah,
I have some of that ice cream. Sure. My older
daughter is a self professed meditarian. Okay, is that anything yet?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, basically, if I leave cold cuts, hot dogs, things
of that nature, they become snacks as opposed to you know,
an apple.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So I can't leave that. So she's the one coming here.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I'm just saying, like, if I leave a bunch of
healthy snacks round, guess what snack habits kind of dissippear
at least for the moment. Same thing here, I think
tie shirts onto something.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm gonna bring the food I want to eat. I'm
not gonna eat food. Come on, is if you leave
it behind it it's rotten for the next day. No,
but it's radio. I know, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Everybody's nodding along. You recognize it's a bunch of jackals
running around.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Here already eating ice cun I'm gonna radio. People are people.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
It's it's different, No different than you know, going to
the press box, except you know, when you're in the
press box you have no shame, and you continue to
pile it on because everybody else is working and doing
something else here. You only got a couple of folks
in the building at different points of the day. As
long as you're not here during actual business hours.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You can almost do whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Like speaking of a couple of folks lost.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, thanks for not putting it up, Frostburg for your blood.
Thanks for not putting up Starling Marte strikeout on three
pitches because you know, I know that's what he was
gonna do up there at the basis loaded and you
want to watch that. I haven't seen it. I haven't
seen it, but I guarantee you his last pitch he
waved at a breaking pitch outside the strikes, but he
at least swung at it. Guarantee you.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I'm waiting.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Waved at it, just waved at it. Bat on his shoulder,
just waved at it. Look, here's the ball waving. I'll
tell you, man, that race between the Padres and the
Mets to see who can dump their high place players faster,
that's gonna be the big story of July. You gotta
get out in front fast. You can't. You can't wait
another couple of weeks. It's done. Start doing it now
(05:11):
or the Padres will beat the Mets to it. The
best thing I want of it all. He did strike
out swinging, so that that's good, I guarantee. Just he
waved at a breaking pitch outside them. But at least
it's not a backwards k he went down swinging. At
least he tried. Uh is the with the Mets.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So many of their top notch in theory players have
no trade clauses of some capacity, right, So I'd like
to be in the room with those conversations. Yeah, you
know when we got you to come here because we
were building the perfect Beast, you know, just like the
Don Henley album.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Of that title all those years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It's really not working out, as you can see. I mean,
show Walter is starting to lose his mind. He's getting
thrown out every other game. So can you wave your
no trade clid?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Well, that's it's it's gonna be. When Steve Cohen calls you. Look,
you're gonna get all your money. We're gonna trade you.
Where would you like to go? That's what it is.
It's gonna be listening I talk to you about, well,
where you want to go? We're not just gonna dump
you somewhere because you can't do it. Where do you
want to go. Where would you accept a trade to? Okay, great,
that's where we'll do it. Yeah, no, because I'm gonna
pick up all the money. Don't worry. I'm picking up
all the money. We can get good prospects from their system.
(06:23):
I'll pick up all the cats.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Don't worry about it. Off the books, unlimited sandwich service.
You may need to go to one of these other
less desirable markets.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Mike, what are you doing? They're thirty six and forty five.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Keep it moving in now speaking of new destinations for guys.

(06:59):
likely going to be traded. The big news today in
the NBA is we're getting set for free agency. He
has opted in to the final year of his contract
with the express consent that the Sixers are going to
try to trade him and move on and get him
to a new organization, So Harden opting in exercising his
(07:20):
thirty five and a half million dollar option, and they
started making calls for Harden on Thursday. And the two
teams that he is linked with right now are the
Clippers Cleveland on Cleveland, well, the Cleveland Clippers, well, the
Cleveland Clippers that was a long time ago. The Clippers
and the Knicks. Let me say this, no no, no, no,
(07:42):
no no no no no no no no no Clips.
Which team are you speaking fine? Knicks? No, no, I
want nothing to do with James Hard. I wouldn't even
want James Harden in fantasy because I wouldn't want his
name next to my other players on my team because
he could wind up affecting and they're not as good
because oh I have my name next to James Hart.
(08:03):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no. No. Nobody,
especially the Knicks. No, nobody is a James Harden away
from winning anything. I think we've seen that by now.
How many teams do you need to see James Harden
with us? Hey, Hey, James Harden is here. Boy, we
can win something, and you watch them not win until
(08:24):
you decide, oh, maybe he's not that guy. Anymore. Maybe
he's not, but somehow you still let dads, and I'm
hoping this is just a fake. Hey, interested Harden's people
are talking something because no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no, the Knicks are bringing back Josh Hart. He
opted in great No James rt No, no no no, no,
(08:45):
no on James, no, because the first thing he's gonna
want is I'm optinking I want a three year deal
for ninety five million dollars. No, no, no, no, no.
James Harden is not the same guy. If this was
James Harden of six seven years ago, Hey, okay, the
James Harden who decided I'm I'm gonna ant my game
up a little bit and I'm gonna learn how to
be a distributor point guard as well as scoring thirty
(09:05):
five points a game. If that James Harden, Yes, but
this James Harden the last two stops where he's kind
of just been a guy. And it was gonna be
part of the big three in Brooklyn. Nope, that didn't work.
It's gonna be him and m beat in Philadelphia. Nope,
that didn't work. What more evidence do you need? You're
not a James Harden away from anything anything. So no
Nicks to Clippers, that's fine. No no, no, no, no no.
(09:27):
I'm putting this out there for the Knicks. No no, no,
I keep saying.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's gonna stretch all the way. It's gonna be hands
across America. It's gonna stretch all the way to New York,
all the way, and I drink your milkshake. I spread
all the way to New York. No no, no, no no.
I'm building a bridge of nose right now. And it's
a big bridge. It's like the Billet's that big bridge.
It's biggest bridge. What is the Ambassador But no, no,
the Mackinaw Bridge whatever. No, no, no no, building that
(09:51):
big bridge all the way all the way from here
to New York. No no no. And then I'm gonna
put a guard at the end of the bridge, and
then I'm gonna blow up the bridge so nobody could
travel along the bridge and get him to the Knicks.
That's what I'm doing right now. No no, no, no, no,
I kind of dig that. No, there's like a mini
movie there right either that.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Do we get the music video with little James Harden
with the big head in a car I'm a traveling man,
made a lot of stops.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
It sounds like a skin over. Look at hard driving
his big head driving around. Jack is saying stuff, lou
And he's gonna stop here, but only for five minutes.
Then he's gonna take off go someplace else for three minutes.
That's what's happening right now.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Oh it's like the Gone Fishing, an extension of that.
Oh yeah, because at this point that's kind of what
James Harden is doing. Yeah, yeah, no, all right, I
played a couple of hands with you guys. Here go fish, Yeah,
send me away.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Look, I like the organized chaos of it all. And
he's still a big name and on any given night,
and that's the big point, on any given night, can
still be that guy and lure you back into that
false sense of security.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
But it's not any given night. It's maybe one given
night over a four weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
But that's why. What about the rest of the time.
But that's the point, is the rest of it. He's
dragging his feet up and down the court because he's tired.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
It's like going on a date with somebody having one
great night. We had such a great time. What happened
the next month. That really hasn't worked out. But then oh,
in another great date happened to work out. Really no
no no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Man, the energy, the moon, all of those things come together.
Everything's in cycles, and maybe it works for James Harden.
Would I love to see him here in Los Angeles?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Is he?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Is? He? James Harden is a werewolf?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I see what I did there. I tied it all
together and James a were wolf. I laid it up
and you just dunked.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I wanted to see if my beard comes all the
way out all of a sudden, his teeth get really sharp.
Harden is aware wolf.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
For a second, I thought it was gonna slip past you.
And then the sin as just started firing.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You turned on into a werewolf that would beat Hey
way wait, that's the idea. What what NBA stars would
be famous monsters of years past? James Rard would be
Team Wolf Frankenstein. And oh, I was going back further.
You're going back? Oh you want to go back to
the classic? Is pretty good too? Now I like that.
That's good man, that we still got you know, Frankenstein.
(12:21):
We have Dracula, Mummy, the Mommy. But James Harden is
the Wolfman apparently, but that's just it. And then come
the playoffs. You don't know where he is.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
He's moving on to another town, to another carnival, trying
to hide in the shadows.
Speaker 1 (12:38):

yourself at Discover dot com. Slash match Well, yesterday we
told you a big story in the NFL was coming.
You were going to see a lot of suspensions for
the year after numerous players were caught gambling illegally. Gambling
is illegal in the NFL, and I never sliced. And
(14:38):
today we saw those suspensions. Some of the players you've
heard of, some of the players you have not. Four
players are given a year ban for gambling violations. Aaron Rodgers,
Isaiah Rogers, stop stop, sure you saw the name Rodgers
though Rodgers, Well, he's hit TJ. Rogers certainly gambling with
(14:59):
his trade the Jets. I think that's enough to you.
J So Isaiah Rodgers, who was then waived. I believe
after very quickly their aspection came out. And the big
news out of this before we get to the the
you know, the big takeaway from this is that one
of the people who were suspended, Rashad Berry, also free
Demetrius Taylor. I mean, some guys maybe you know their names,
(15:19):
some names you don't. But one of the bets was
that was placed that was flagged was a over under
bet for rushing yards for a Colt's running back like
that was one of the bets.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Says, well, when you're betting fifty twenty five fifty thousand. Yeah,
it's the outlier. Also your team, the number of guys
that are dumb enough to keep doing it in the facility.
I didn't understand that part of the presentation. Is it
like we have to cordon off a section like they
used to, Hey you can smoke here. Hey, yeah, you
(15:54):
have to go outside. You could sit at one of
these tables. The Wi fi is really good.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
You could bet here. Bet that's the only place though there's.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's literally outside the gates of the team facility.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
You are not on our property, you know. I didn't
know you could do I don't know if they still
do this, but in Phoenix there's legal places to scalp
tickets to games, Like I went to Pam and I
went to we went to a Coyotes game a few
years ago back, you know, and the way they played there.
Uh and and and I saw we need tickets. They go, oh,
(16:24):
don't worry, there's people there scalping all the time. I
was like, yeah, but scalping, I don't know. They go, no, no,
there's a legal area to scalp. I'm like, what to go, Yeah,
there's a legal area to scalp. Don't worry about it.
That's you to get your tickets. I say, yeah, yeah,
they get tickets phase value. I'm like, okay, So it's
right across the arena. You know the coyotes there, you
know everything. So we get there and I go, okay,
and there's a bunch of police officers there, and I
and and Pam says, you think we should do it?
(16:46):
Like where is this area? I go, I don't know.
I'll ask a cop. Why not? Yeah? So I asked
a cop. I go, all right, I have a question
for you, and and and and hopefully you can't arrest
me for it. And she she goes, it depends on
what you tell me. I go, is there a legal
place where I can scalp tickets?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
SA?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, right across street right there, you see
whe those people are standing. You can do it right there?
Is it? Seriously? Yeah? I'm like, really, are you now?
I said, you can't arrest me because you told me
that you're a police officer. She goes, trust me, go
that's where people do. I walk over. I go, hey,
I need too. They go, yeah, I got two forty
dollars you know whatever. It's yet there you go great
boom right there.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You mean you didn't just go to the first guy
that said I need tickets, I need to you talk,
give me two I needed to and it is yeah,
right here, I got it right here, face value.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Here you go forty bucks. Oh awesome. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I mean, look, it's a matter of in a lot
of areas how much they care to enforce, and for
some it's just hey, don't do it on the grounds.
So particularly if it's a game that isn't sold out. Generally,
if they're sold out, they don't care, right, they're not
getting any more revenue. But if you're potentially costing them
the opportunity if someone having to walk up to the
ticket office and buying seats saying Mount Davis see how
(17:53):
people go into a game at Oakland.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a dreamer. What can I say?
That's all right? Mount Davis is still there. It's still
always going to be there.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Like I almost want to drive up to the Bay
Area at some point this summer. It's like, I want
to come to the game when they tear but I
need a ticket and I want to print a ticket.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
When they tear down the stadium, you will still get
to go on excursions that you can walk to the
top of Mount Davis.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I would buy one of the chair backs from Mount
Davis as long as there's a plaque that said this
was once erected in Mount Davis.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
You really went to a cop and asked them, Yeah,
you would.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Well, because there was all police officers on one side
of the street and people selling tickets on the other.
Arm should be in the slammer. This is like the
Sharks of the Jets. No, if she told me was legal,
I'm like, all right, you.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Can't, you know, But what if you started to transaction
in the street. No, no, she said, walk, Well, she
said walking off the street. I was just saying, right,
like all of a sudden, maybe those cops spring into action.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I want to and you come here to get that
from me. You come here and get my money right here,
and you're.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
To ask the cop are you a cop? That's what
you always have to say.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well, I figured le television and film.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's why I should have done that. I said, you're
a copch got to identify them.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Did you tell them you're not used to a section
like that. You're used to like ones outside of city
field where they give you tickets.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, I'm used to being able to cut cut free tickets,
free tickets. Hey, just cut this out of today's newspaper,
bring it to the ballpark and you can walk in.
Ah right, look at that. I'm gonna cut really good
along the outside of the dotted line. Ah got the
Uh so make it now? Nine players who have been
(19:30):
suspended for the season for gambling, Jamison Williams getting a
six game suspension obviously, and Calvin Ridley returning from his
year long suspension this year. Now, first things first, how
would Chris Berman announce the story? Announce the story, MDJ,
(19:50):
The NFL doesn't want you to gamble on their own sport.
It would be the same punishment as if Mookie bets.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
On baseball DJ Ooh, you got Mookie Bets.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
By the way, you missed his middle name. But it's
gotta go Mookie Bets. It's gotta go Mookie bets. Mookie
bets on baseball, not the Mookie bets bets on baseball.
He does it. But there was the line, TJ. Some
players will deny betting, and those performances should win them
an oscar. Gamble on the sport, and they'll find.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Out that small percentage, you still know who Oscar Gamble is.
Although there's so many blogs about cool baseball cards in
the past, there are a couple where his hair is
on point.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
The NFL has strict rules for players, TJ. But what
about other people? Could Greg Gumble gamble? What about late
actor George Geibel? Could he gamble? What about former NFL
QB Jason Campbell gamble? What about ice skater Dorothy Hamil gamble?
What about them? TJ? Were you speaking of George Gable?
The American humorists, No, George gold Remember he's on all
(21:01):
the He's on all the panels and all the game shows,
comedian like in the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
George no idea.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
The NFL clearly saying your NFL life, if you gamble,
will be scrambled as a preamble, and for example, a
gamble sample will leave your life in shambles. DJ, you've
turned Berman into Seuss. All right, all right, I'm done.
Now you want to make up a word or two
there so we can. I should have stopped after Oscar Gamble,
(21:29):
shouldn't I?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I mean that you should have never started.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I should know. But Oscar Gamble is a pretty good one.
The gamble one was.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, gamble was pretty good. All right, should win an
oscar gamble?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah that's good. Now. We did this last night because
we need to continue to educate because gambling on the
NFL is a very serious thing and people have to
know that you cannot do this.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
What do you mean, you people?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I mean I'm people listening, I mean the audience. Make
sure people know that this is something that you know,
the NFL takes very very seriously, and the NFL is
going to make a big deal out of the six
gambling tenants that they are going to make sure people
know going into the season. So help educate here, We're
(22:11):
gonna play the gamble fake gamble game like we did
last no fantastic. I give you a gambling rule and
you tell if it's one of the six NFL rules
that the NFL says you cannot do. All right, playing
this game like last night, myself, Mike Harmon, Steve de Sager,
Justin Frostber.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
From the league office. Today, guys, well why not happened?
I can no longer play this game?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Why can't Jason? Can you properly introduce me? Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Sorry, yes, introducing Technical Director Alex P type shirts, Sir
Alex P. All right, so I give you the rule,
and you tell me if it's a rule. If this
is part of the NFL six step rule on gambling,
(23:04):
mobile betting is okay? As long as you click on
the box to sign up for emails from the gambling site.
Is that one of the NFL's six rules. Quid pro
quo clarice. You can gamble as long as you click
on the box to sign up for emails from the
gambling site. Click in this box you'd like to receive
(23:25):
emails and updates. It is like a fair exchange of information.
So okay.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
It doesn't have to do with location though, so I'll say.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
No, okay, no, okay, very good, very good, tight shirt.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I think I would just set my IP to a
different country.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
So yes, all right, so you think that is one
of the rules, all right, yeah, all right, Frostburg, are
you playing in this or you really you were?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I thought we just went over this.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
He just wants to watch Mookie, that is that is
not I don't do anything if I have to click
a box to get em else for somebody, I don't
do that at all.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
No, you never filled in the gold box and got
your extra record for the Columbia Record Company.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Every time on sent I can't wait till mail day
next week. I'm gonna get a giant box of at
least like thirty eight seed.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
You get the new Neil Diamond Vital and get the
extra one for one more set and the picture of
the penny. Oh sure sure. Referencing gambling on a game
in a press conference is okay as long as no
one else in the room bet the same game. Is
that one of the six NFL rules You can talk
(24:38):
about gambling on a game with a press conference as
long as no one else in the room also bet
the game.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Is talking about it include winking euphemisms, Yeah you need
to hand you.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Need to actually speak about the gambling.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
No one else in the room, meaning what the media to.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Meet, no one else could have. If someone says, hey,
I don't know, I bet this game. Oh, you can't
talk about it. We played the I say no, that's
against the rule. Okay, all right, t my.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Shirt kind of sucks if I bet about it, I
want to talk about it, okay.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
So yeah, I think you think that's okay? That that
is not? Is it about the transparency?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Of it, right, make sure you you can't want both
the wins and losses.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
I would say, so that was gonna be shady and
say stuff that you know, hedges my bets.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Hey, buddy, I mean, look, all you need to do
is put out a tweet saying and that a guy's
gaining momentum to go second overall and everybody, yeah, hey,
he could be going to prison for that. No.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Uh, Betting on the XFL and USFL, if you're an
NFL player is okay, as long as you can name
one player on the team you bet on. Is that
one of the sixth rules? Well then nobody will be
gambling on those leagues. We got any bets on this? Nope,
(25:55):
everybody's betting game. Everybody's betting the Peederman game. That's it.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Bethel Thompson, Bethel Thompson at quarterback. I'll say, no, no,
tight shirt. Is that one of the six NFL rules?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I think it should be? Okay, all right, it maybe
should be. It is not that sucks one of.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
The I'm not an NFL player. I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Really can't have any fun at all for an NFL player.
Betting games in person at a casino is allowed as
long as you are smoking a cigar and wearing a
pork pie hat? Is that one of the six NFL
rules against gambling? Pork pie hat is very popular. Come
(26:38):
to herb time and sir, I'd like to bet Georgia
Tech getting the points. I see your cigar and your
pork pi hat. Come on in and bet? Can you
do that? Is that check? Is that legal? No? No? No,
you know? Ty shirt?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Is that one of the rules only accompanied by a
trumpet fanfare?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yes? Here ye announcing a player who is with a
cigar and ak my hat?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Is that toy l trumpet?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Well, he does need to do something for work right now.
With DZ out.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
The team has taken the ill this year.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
The penalties for gambling on the penalties for gambling on
your team's home game is worse than if you gamble
when they're playing on the road. Really, so if you bet,
if you bet on your team at home, the penalty
is worse you bet on them and they're playing on
the road.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
So there's a spread on that.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's what you're saying, is there a spread on games
at home versus the home road? Gambling splits?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
But what if I'm wearing the hat. Jason, are you
in a casino maybe?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Do you have fan fair? Do you have a cigar? Yes?
And a cigar yes? And I think you're okay, okay,
all right, so you're saying, yes.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You have your own Bishop Magic don Juan walking alongside you.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
As if you were Snoop dogg. Yes, bring your green hat?
What's up on?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
That?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Is not not one of the games?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Sucks?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, last one. Watching sporting events at a sports book
is allowed, just watching, not betting. Watching sporting events like
the NFL at a sports book is allowed as long
as you, instead of watching NFL, watch only horse racing
or Formula one and you sign an affidavit saying those
(28:25):
are the only sports you're watching on the TV. Well,
I mean nothing wrong with a little paramutual wagering.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Go to sport that's often a separate section. So you
if you go around the corner, you only have TVs
on Horzon.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You're watching football. No, no, no, my eyes are only
on the Hamiltonian over here.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
That is.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That is the secret though to getting service, like if
say you're going to Vegas for Super Bowl week, yes,
is to be a horse player, because you will get
taken care of because there's money that they're getting, but
they're also getting money from everything you're doing, because they're
getting parts of the bill, nine races, of all the
different simulcasts and everything else. So if you're betting consistently
(29:05):
during a day, they'll take care of you as careful
that are coming out to just for that game. You're
just one of thousands kind of lookie lose.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, the rest of us.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Well, but it's consistent betting over a course of a
day versus one time action ty shirt.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Is that is that a rule?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
You know?
Speaker 4 (29:24):
What's funny is everything sounds so lame. I'm gonna say, no,
they won't even let you watch the games. That is
not a rule.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
You'll get nothing. I get a perfect game, perfect game.
I felt like I was playing the A's all right now,
I got one more final one talking to people.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
In your house.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
No no, no, no, no, no, no one one of
the six rules. Don't bet on the Jets that same Yeah,
I mean, that's that's one of the rules.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I kind of feel like I would though it's one
of the rules.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
The Year of Living dangerously for sure, that is one
of the rules.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Do you expect an email from the League office the
people who employ me don't even know who I am.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Doesn't certainly be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern,
seven pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show
with My bas friend Mike Harmon, Hobo Dodge and Rockies
underway after a hail delay. Oh yeah, the end of June.
(30:25):
We got a hail delay. Dodgers leave, the Rockies won nothing.
Rockies batting in the bottom of the first inning, first
and third with one out, and it's she and on
the mound. No, no hit a friend tonight Friday. No
worry for Dave Roberts to have to pull somebody out
of the game.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah, no, it's a little bit of a he's in
parallel already here in the first Dodgers had a big opportunity,
only one across the plane.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
So we're getting set for NBA free agency. Yeah, you're
starting to see where some of the early dominoes, not
where they're going to fall, but where you're going to
see some early interest. What players, what teams are their desires.
And it was reported today by numerous sources that Kyrie
Irving Kyrie is going to meet with who the New
(31:16):
York out there? WHOA I'm not knowing it.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
That would basically just say that's I'm just saying no, no,
no no. But even in joking with that justin was
kind of joke. But even putting that out there, with
the possibility that Kyrie Irving would go there, that means
he had just torpedoed all of the great praise and
that he's lavished upon.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
James Allen Ronson is going to be in Philly, so.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Guard no, no, no, another no, no no, He's going
to meet with the Phoenix Suns all right now, Like
I said with with James Harden, no no, no, no, no,
no no no. You saw what happened in Brooklyn when
you put him and Katie on the same team, right,
You saw that not work. You saw that Kyrie Irving
(32:08):
played when he felt like it. You saw that he
was also a huge distraction and a disruption off the court.
Not a distraction, a disruption off the court. But now
he's so desperate because there's no market for him. Numerous
insiders said, listen, nobody wants Kyrie Irving. There's no market
for him. He is so desperate. Hey, but I want
to keep playing, So I gotta go and talk to
(32:30):
some people who I haven't in with that I've known
for a while. Because my talent no longer exceeds my behavior,
So what can I do. This is why Harden is
linked with the Rockets. Oh hey, but it was so
much fun there, and I want to get paid. You
want a star. That's why I can go back there.
Same thing here with Kyrie. Hey, KD. Remember we almost
worked for it's in Brooklyn, but it could work out here.
(32:51):
We got Booker, we got Bradley Beale, we can trade
DeAndre Heyn. Come on, Beta, come on.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
No.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
This is where the Phoenix Suns and Frank Vogel have
to say, no, dude, no, no, we got it. Not
We're good. We're good. We're gonna try to make a move.
But Kyrie Irving no, because again, just like James Harden,
no one can see themselves as a Kyrie Irving away
from anything He's It's not that, it's not that, it's
not that that situation anymore. In free agency, teams have
(33:19):
to do this. They have to not look at the
back of the baseball card right to go get their guys.
Guys like Draymond and Harden and Kyrie. They've seen their day.
They're not what they were. You're not gonna win with them.
You're not gonna be happy when they demand money and
you pay them. Because you look at the back of
their baseball card. Look at what they've done. Look at it.
You go on Basketball reference dot Com. You look at
(33:40):
what they've done. Look how many all star teams made.
Look at all this, Look at all the It doesn't
work well. These guys all want trades and they're never happy.
They're not the same players they were. They're all over thirty.
You need to go in a different direction. If I'm
the Suns, I'd just like to say, hey, glad you're interested,
We're going someplace else.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I just have to And I'd love to be the
fly on the wall with Kevin Durant, Right, you endorsing this.
Was there really problems in that locker room or was
it completely having nothing to do with any of it.
You just wanted to change a venue. Publicly, I'll say,
Kyrie is a great player, what about privately?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Do not go near him.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Let's just figure out what burner accounts would tell us
and go from there. Like I always say, I like drama.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I like theater.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I liked stars deciding, Hey, let's get together. But in
thirty games, is he looking for another home again?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah, of course, because that's what he is. You're not
gonna win if you want to win. These aren't the
guys you surround yourself with. You don't surround yourself with
Harden and Kyrie and Draymon drama. Mainly because he's not
the guy he was a few years ago. But because
of what I've accomplished, I want three years and ninety
million out of Golden State because you owe me. But
that's the thing. He could still be a crucial part
(34:53):
to a roster.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
But if you have to commit thirty million a year
to him under the new rules of the CBA, because
we keep seeing that, right, restructuring or declining this because
you're looking at a whole other tax level that comes in.
We're joking about it yesterday, right, Hey, twenty one million
dollars get out of that, and it saves you one
hundred million dollars tax Like, how does this make any sense?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Don't look at the back of the baseball card. I
like chaos. Send it to the Knicks coming up next? Hey,
what big time NBA team is going to make a
big move. It as being really smart right now. Fox

(00:47):
dot com the way tire buying should be. Now, I
got two things right off the top. Okay. Number one,
can we please get the mets on? I had the
mets on in the other room. They got second in
five or two outs of the ninth then, and can
we please get the mets Secondly, whoever is stealing my
ice cream from the freezer, I am onto you. I
(01:09):
am onto you now for stealing my ice cream from
the freezer. Can we get it finger printed? You think
they're in the system. I I hope so, because people
aren't even stealing my ice cream, Like that's a whole
thing of ice cream that's in there. Like because what
I do is I buy a thing of ice cream
and usually it last me like three or four days.
I have a little bit, a little bit, a little bit. Yeah,
so like later the last couple of times I've bought
(01:31):
ice cream and I've had, you know, three, usually three
or four scoops at night, and it's fine, three or
four scoops. I put it back in the freezer. Gone gone, gone,
back back back back, back back back, gone, last two times,
gone gone, stolen ice cream gone. Looney doesn't even work
here anymore. It's true and still gone. My ice cream
is gone.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Because he used to be very brazen about it. Yes, yes,
And it was the kind of thing where there.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Was he would say, oh, I had I had that
chicken palm last night. It was good. I was saving
really taste. Thanks for bringing that in. Yeah, okay, can
you guys hear me.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
But it was the difficulty of respecting the bravado of
just saying, ah, this is what I'm doing the brazenness
or being like, dude, the hell's wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I'm stealing like this is ridiculous. You're stealing ice cream.
It's stealing on already eaten ice cream, like like I've
eaten a quarter of it. I'm gonna steal the ice cream?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Well, I mean, just like when you maybe put things
and heat it to a certain level to kill off bacteria,
just freezing.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It do the same. I don't know, man, but now
I'm on to you, whoever it is, I'm on to you, Jason.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
I have a solution for you.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yes, what's that?
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Just start buying healthy food and nobody touches it. Nobody
touched my stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Then I know you're do you think that's there's a
coincidence there? Yes, okay, oh, I know any of that
stuff a.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Good way to keep your own stuff, right, I mean
that's you know, I have eclectic taste, you like you
know this?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I like something a little off kilters.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And you don't even want to know what that hole
in your ice cream was?
Speaker 1 (03:03):
What is that? It's seaweed wrapped seaweed. I don't want that.
I don't know. I'm not gonna eat that, Jason, bring
I know he brought good stuff. Let's have something he brought. Ah,
I have some of that ice cream. Sure. My older
daughter is a self professed meditarian. Okay, is that anything yet?
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Well, basically, if I leave cold cuts, hot dogs, things
of that nature, they become snacks as opposed to you know,
an apple.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So I can't leave that. So she's the one coming here.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I'm just saying, like, if I leave a bunch of
healthy snacks round, guess what snack habits kind of dissippear
at least for the moment. Same thing here, I think
tie shirts onto something.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I'm gonna bring the food I want to eat. I'm
not gonna eat food. Come on, is if you leave
it behind it it's rotten for the next day. No,
but it's radio. I know, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Everybody's nodding along. You recognize it's a bunch of jackals
running around.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Here already eating ice cun I'm gonna radio. People are people.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
It's it's different, No different than you know, going to
the press box, except you know, when you're in the
press box you have no shame, and you continue to
pile it on because everybody else is working and doing
something else here. You only got a couple of folks
in the building at different points of the day. As
long as you're not here during actual business hours.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
You can almost do whatever the hell you want.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Like speaking of a couple of folks lost.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Yeah, thanks for not putting it up, Frostburg for your blood.
Thanks for not putting up Starling Marte strikeout on three
pitches because you know, I know that's what he was
gonna do up there at the basis loaded and you
want to watch that. I haven't seen it. I haven't
seen it, but I guarantee you his last pitch he
waved at a breaking pitch outside the strikes, but he
at least swung at it. Guarantee you.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I'm waiting.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Waved at it, just waved at it. Bat on his shoulder,
just waved at it. Look, here's the ball waving. I'll
tell you, man, that race between the Padres and the
Mets to see who can dump their high place players faster,
that's gonna be the big story of July. You gotta
get out in front fast. You can't. You can't wait
another couple of weeks. It's done. Start doing it now
(05:11):
or the Padres will beat the Mets to it. The
best thing I want of it all. He did strike
out swinging, so that that's good, I guarantee. Just he
waved at a breaking pitch outside them. But at least
it's not a backwards k he went down swinging. At
least he tried. Uh is the with the Mets.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
So many of their top notch in theory players have
no trade clauses of some capacity, right, So I'd like
to be in the room with those conversations. Yeah, you
know when we got you to come here because we
were building the perfect Beast, you know, just like the
Don Henley album.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Of that title all those years ago.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
It's really not working out, as you can see. I mean,
show Walter is starting to lose his mind. He's getting
thrown out every other game. So can you wave your
no trade clid?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Well, that's it's it's gonna be. When Steve Cohen calls you. Look,
you're gonna get all your money. We're gonna trade you.
Where would you like to go? That's what it is.
It's gonna be listening I talk to you about, well,
where you want to go? We're not just gonna dump
you somewhere because you can't do it. Where do you
want to go. Where would you accept a trade to? Okay, great,
that's where we'll do it. Yeah, no, because I'm gonna
pick up all the money. Don't worry. I'm picking up
all the money. We can get good prospects from their system.
(06:23):
I'll pick up all the cats.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Don't worry about it. Off the books, unlimited sandwich service.
You may need to go to one of these other
less desirable markets.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Mike, what are you doing? They're thirty six and forty five.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Keep it moving in now speaking of new destinations for guys.

(06:59):
likely going to be traded. The big news today in
the NBA is we're getting set for free agency. He
has opted in to the final year of his contract
with the express consent that the Sixers are going to
try to trade him and move on and get him
to a new organization, So Harden opting in exercising his
(07:20):
thirty five and a half million dollar option, and they
started making calls for Harden on Thursday. And the two
teams that he is linked with right now are the
Clippers Cleveland on Cleveland, well, the Cleveland Clippers, well, the
Cleveland Clippers that was a long time ago. The Clippers
and the Knicks. Let me say this, no no, no, no,
(07:42):
no no no no no no no no no Clips.
Which team are you speaking fine? Knicks? No, no, I
want nothing to do with James Hard. I wouldn't even
want James Harden in fantasy because I wouldn't want his
name next to my other players on my team because
he could wind up affecting and they're not as good
because oh I have my name next to James Hart.
(08:03):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no. No. Nobody,
especially the Knicks. No, nobody is a James Harden away
from winning anything. I think we've seen that by now.
How many teams do you need to see James Harden
with us? Hey, Hey, James Harden is here. Boy, we
can win something, and you watch them not win until
(08:24):
you decide, oh, maybe he's not that guy. Anymore. Maybe
he's not, but somehow you still let dads, and I'm
hoping this is just a fake. Hey, interested Harden's people
are talking something because no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no, the Knicks are bringing back Josh Hart. He
opted in great No James rt No, no no no, no,
(08:45):
no on James, no, because the first thing he's gonna
want is I'm optinking I want a three year deal
for ninety five million dollars. No, no, no, no, no.
James Harden is not the same guy. If this was
James Harden of six seven years ago, Hey, okay, the
James Harden who decided I'm I'm gonna ant my game
up a little bit and I'm gonna learn how to
be a distributor point guard as well as scoring thirty
(09:05):
five points a game. If that James Harden, Yes, but
this James Harden the last two stops where he's kind
of just been a guy. And it was gonna be
part of the big three in Brooklyn. Nope, that didn't work.
It's gonna be him and m beat in Philadelphia. Nope,
that didn't work. What more evidence do you need? You're
not a James Harden away from anything anything. So no
Nicks to Clippers, that's fine. No no, no, no, no no.
(09:27):
I'm putting this out there for the Knicks. No no, no,
I keep saying.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
It's gonna stretch all the way. It's gonna be hands
across America. It's gonna stretch all the way to New York,
all the way, and I drink your milkshake. I spread
all the way to New York. No no, no, no no.
I'm building a bridge of nose right now. And it's
a big bridge. It's like the Billet's that big bridge.
It's biggest bridge. What is the Ambassador But no, no,
the Mackinaw Bridge whatever. No, no, no no, building that
(09:51):
big bridge all the way all the way from here
to New York. No no no. And then I'm gonna
put a guard at the end of the bridge, and
then I'm gonna blow up the bridge so nobody could
travel along the bridge and get him to the Knicks.
That's what I'm doing right now. No no, no, no, no,
I kind of dig that. No, there's like a mini
movie there right either that.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Do we get the music video with little James Harden
with the big head in a car I'm a traveling man,
made a lot of stops.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
It sounds like a skin over. Look at hard driving
his big head driving around. Jack is saying stuff, lou
And he's gonna stop here, but only for five minutes.
Then he's gonna take off go someplace else for three minutes.
That's what's happening right now.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Oh it's like the Gone Fishing, an extension of that.
Oh yeah, because at this point that's kind of what
James Harden is doing. Yeah, yeah, no, all right, I
played a couple of hands with you guys. Here go fish, Yeah,
send me away.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Look, I like the organized chaos of it all. And
he's still a big name and on any given night,
and that's the big point, on any given night, can
still be that guy and lure you back into that
false sense of security.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
But it's not any given night. It's maybe one given
night over a four weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
But that's why. What about the rest of the time.
But that's the point, is the rest of it. He's
dragging his feet up and down the court because he's tired.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
It's like going on a date with somebody having one
great night. We had such a great time. What happened
the next month. That really hasn't worked out. But then oh,
in another great date happened to work out. Really no
no no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Man, the energy, the moon, all of those things come together.
Everything's in cycles, and maybe it works for James Harden.
Would I love to see him here in Los Angeles?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Is he?
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Is? He? James Harden is a werewolf?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I see what I did there. I tied it all
together and James a were wolf. I laid it up
and you just dunked.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I wanted to see if my beard comes all the
way out all of a sudden, his teeth get really sharp.
Harden is aware wolf.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
For a second, I thought it was gonna slip past you.
And then the sin as just started firing.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
You turned on into a werewolf that would beat Hey
way wait, that's the idea. What what NBA stars would
be famous monsters of years past? James Rard would be
Team Wolf Frankenstein. And oh, I was going back further.
You're going back? Oh you want to go back to
the classic? Is pretty good too? Now I like that.
That's good man, that we still got you know, Frankenstein.
(12:21):
We have Dracula, Mummy, the Mommy. But James Harden is
the Wolfman apparently, but that's just it. And then come
the playoffs. You don't know where he is.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
He's moving on to another town, to another carnival, trying
to hide in the shadows.

told you a big story in the NFL was coming.
You were going to see a lot of suspensions for
the year after numerous players were caught gambling illegally. Gambling
is illegal in the NFL, and I never sliced. And
(14:38):
today we saw those suspensions. Some of the players you've
heard of, some of the players you have not. Four
players are given a year ban for gambling violations. Aaron Rodgers,
Isaiah Rogers, stop stop, sure you saw the name Rodgers
though Rodgers, Well, he's hit TJ. Rogers certainly gambling with
(14:59):
his trade the Jets. I think that's enough to you.
J So Isaiah Rodgers, who was then waived. I believe
after very quickly their aspection came out. And the big
news out of this before we get to the the
you know, the big takeaway from this is that one
of the people who were suspended, Rashad Berry, also free
Demetrius Taylor. I mean, some guys maybe you know their names,
(15:19):
some names you don't. But one of the bets was
that was placed that was flagged was a over under
bet for rushing yards for a Colt's running back like
that was one of the bets.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Says, well, when you're betting fifty twenty five fifty thousand. Yeah,
it's the outlier. Also your team, the number of guys
that are dumb enough to keep doing it in the facility.
I didn't understand that part of the presentation. Is it
like we have to cordon off a section like they
used to, Hey you can smoke here. Hey, yeah, you
(15:54):
have to go outside. You could sit at one of
these tables. The Wi fi is really good.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
You could bet here. Bet that's the only place though there's.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's literally outside the gates of the team facility.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
You are not on our property, you know. I didn't
know you could do I don't know if they still
do this, but in Phoenix there's legal places to scalp
tickets to games, Like I went to Pam and I
went to we went to a Coyotes game a few
years ago back, you know, and the way they played there.
Uh and and and I saw we need tickets. They go, oh,
(16:24):
don't worry, there's people there scalping all the time. I
was like, yeah, but scalping, I don't know. They go, no, no,
there's a legal area to scalp. I'm like, what to go, Yeah,
there's a legal area to scalp. Don't worry about it.
That's you to get your tickets. I say, yeah, yeah,
they get tickets phase value. I'm like, okay, So it's
right across the arena. You know the coyotes there, you
know everything. So we get there and I go, okay,
and there's a bunch of police officers there, and I
and and Pam says, you think we should do it?
(16:46):
Like where is this area? I go, I don't know.
I'll ask a cop. Why not? Yeah? So I asked
a cop. I go, all right, I have a question
for you, and and and and hopefully you can't arrest
me for it. And she she goes, it depends on
what you tell me. I go, is there a legal
place where I can scalp tickets?
Speaker 3 (17:01):
SA?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Oh yeah, yeah, right across street right there, you see
whe those people are standing. You can do it right there?
Is it? Seriously? Yeah? I'm like, really, are you now?
I said, you can't arrest me because you told me
that you're a police officer. She goes, trust me, go
that's where people do. I walk over. I go, hey,
I need too. They go, yeah, I got two forty
dollars you know whatever. It's yet there you go great
boom right there.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You mean you didn't just go to the first guy
that said I need tickets, I need to you talk,
give me two I needed to and it is yeah,
right here, I got it right here, face value.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Here you go forty bucks. Oh awesome. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I mean, look, it's a matter of in a lot
of areas how much they care to enforce, and for
some it's just hey, don't do it on the grounds.
So particularly if it's a game that isn't sold out. Generally,
if they're sold out, they don't care, right, they're not
getting any more revenue. But if you're potentially costing them
the opportunity if someone having to walk up to the
ticket office and buying seats saying Mount Davis see how
(17:53):
people go into a game at Oakland.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm a dreamer. What can I say?
That's all right? Mount Davis is still there. It's still
always going to be there.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Like I almost want to drive up to the Bay
Area at some point this summer. It's like, I want
to come to the game when they tear but I
need a ticket and I want to print a ticket.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
When they tear down the stadium, you will still get
to go on excursions that you can walk to the
top of Mount Davis.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I would buy one of the chair backs from Mount
Davis as long as there's a plaque that said this
was once erected in Mount Davis.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
You really went to a cop and asked them, Yeah,
you would.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Well, because there was all police officers on one side
of the street and people selling tickets on the other.
Arm should be in the slammer. This is like the
Sharks of the Jets. No, if she told me was legal,
I'm like, all right, you.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Can't, you know, But what if you started to transaction
in the street. No, no, she said, walk, Well, she
said walking off the street. I was just saying, right,
like all of a sudden, maybe those cops spring into action.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I want to and you come here to get that
from me. You come here and get my money right here,
and you're.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
To ask the cop are you a cop? That's what
you always have to say.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Well, I figured le television and film.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
That's why I should have done that. I said, you're
a copch got to identify them.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
Did you tell them you're not used to a section
like that. You're used to like ones outside of city
field where they give you tickets.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Yeah, I'm used to being able to cut cut free tickets,
free tickets. Hey, just cut this out of today's newspaper,
bring it to the ballpark and you can walk in.
Ah right, look at that. I'm gonna cut really good
along the outside of the dotted line. Ah got the
Uh so make it now? Nine players who have been
(19:30):
suspended for the season for gambling, Jamison Williams getting a
six game suspension obviously, and Calvin Ridley returning from his
year long suspension this year. Now, first things first, how
would Chris Berman announce the story? Announce the story, MDJ,
(19:50):
The NFL doesn't want you to gamble on their own sport.
It would be the same punishment as if Mookie bets.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
On baseball DJ Ooh, you got Mookie Bets.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
By the way, you missed his middle name. But it's
gotta go Mookie Bets. It's gotta go Mookie bets. Mookie
bets on baseball, not the Mookie bets bets on baseball.
He does it. But there was the line, TJ. Some
players will deny betting, and those performances should win them
an oscar. Gamble on the sport, and they'll find.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Out that small percentage, you still know who Oscar Gamble is.
Although there's so many blogs about cool baseball cards in
the past, there are a couple where his hair is
on point.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
The NFL has strict rules for players, TJ. But what
about other people? Could Greg Gumble gamble? What about late
actor George Geibel? Could he gamble? What about former NFL
QB Jason Campbell gamble? What about ice skater Dorothy Hamil gamble?
What about them? TJ? Were you speaking of George Gable?
The American humorists, No, George gold Remember he's on all
(21:01):
the He's on all the panels and all the game shows,
comedian like in the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
George no idea.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
The NFL clearly saying your NFL life, if you gamble,
will be scrambled as a preamble, and for example, a
gamble sample will leave your life in shambles. DJ, you've
turned Berman into Seuss. All right, all right, I'm done.
Now you want to make up a word or two
there so we can. I should have stopped after Oscar Gamble,
(21:29):
shouldn't I?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I mean that you should have never started.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
I should know. But Oscar Gamble is a pretty good one.
The gamble one was.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Yeah, gamble was pretty good. All right, should win an
oscar gamble?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Yeah that's good. Now. We did this last night because
we need to continue to educate because gambling on the
NFL is a very serious thing and people have to
know that you cannot do this.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
What do you mean, you people?
Speaker 1 (21:49):
I mean I'm people listening, I mean the audience. Make
sure people know that this is something that you know,
the NFL takes very very seriously, and the NFL is
going to make a big deal out of the six
gambling tenants that they are going to make sure people
know going into the season. So help educate here, We're
(22:11):
gonna play the gamble fake gamble game like we did
last no fantastic. I give you a gambling rule and
you tell if it's one of the six NFL rules
that the NFL says you cannot do. All right, playing
this game like last night, myself, Mike Harmon, Steve de Sager,
Justin Frostber.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
From the league office. Today, guys, well why not happened?
I can no longer play this game?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Why can't Jason? Can you properly introduce me? Oh?
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Sorry, yes, introducing Technical Director Alex P type shirts, Sir
Alex P. All right, so I give you the rule,
and you tell me if it's a rule. If this
is part of the NFL six step rule on gambling,
(23:04):
mobile betting is okay? As long as you click on
the box to sign up for emails from the gambling site.
Is that one of the NFL's six rules. Quid pro
quo clarice. You can gamble as long as you click
on the box to sign up for emails from the
gambling site. Click in this box you'd like to receive
(23:25):
emails and updates. It is like a fair exchange of information.
So okay.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
It doesn't have to do with location though, so I'll say.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
No, okay, no, okay, very good, very good, tight shirt.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
I think I would just set my IP to a
different country.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
So yes, all right, so you think that is one
of the rules, all right, yeah, all right, Frostburg, are
you playing in this or you really you were?
Speaker 3 (23:46):
I thought we just went over this.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
He just wants to watch Mookie, that is that is
not I don't do anything if I have to click
a box to get em else for somebody, I don't
do that at all.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
No, you never filled in the gold box and got
your extra record for the Columbia Record Company.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Every time on sent I can't wait till mail day
next week. I'm gonna get a giant box of at
least like thirty eight seed.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
You get the new Neil Diamond Vital and get the
extra one for one more set and the picture of
the penny. Oh sure sure. Referencing gambling on a game
in a press conference is okay as long as no
one else in the room bet the same game. Is
that one of the six NFL rules You can talk
(24:38):
about gambling on a game with a press conference as
long as no one else in the room also bet
the game.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
Is talking about it include winking euphemisms, Yeah you need
to hand you.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Need to actually speak about the gambling.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
No one else in the room, meaning what the media to.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
Meet, no one else could have. If someone says, hey,
I don't know, I bet this game. Oh, you can't
talk about it. We played the I say no, that's
against the rule. Okay, all right, t my.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Shirt kind of sucks if I bet about it, I
want to talk about it, okay.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
So yeah, I think you think that's okay? That that
is not? Is it about the transparency?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Of it, right, make sure you you can't want both
the wins and losses.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
I would say, so that was gonna be shady and
say stuff that you know, hedges my bets.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Hey, buddy, I mean, look, all you need to do
is put out a tweet saying and that a guy's
gaining momentum to go second overall and everybody, yeah, hey,
he could be going to prison for that. No.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Uh, Betting on the XFL and USFL, if you're an
NFL player is okay, as long as you can name
one player on the team you bet on. Is that
one of the sixth rules? Well then nobody will be
gambling on those leagues. We got any bets on this? Nope,
(25:55):
everybody's betting game. Everybody's betting the Peederman game. That's it.
Speaker 5 (26:00):
Bethel Thompson, Bethel Thompson at quarterback. I'll say, no, no,
tight shirt. Is that one of the six NFL rules?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
I think it should be? Okay, all right, it maybe
should be. It is not that sucks one of.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
The I'm not an NFL player. I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Really can't have any fun at all for an NFL player.
Betting games in person at a casino is allowed as
long as you are smoking a cigar and wearing a
pork pie hat? Is that one of the six NFL
rules against gambling? Pork pie hat is very popular. Come
(26:38):
to herb time and sir, I'd like to bet Georgia
Tech getting the points. I see your cigar and your
pork pi hat. Come on in and bet? Can you
do that? Is that check? Is that legal? No? No? No,
you know? Ty shirt?
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Is that one of the rules only accompanied by a
trumpet fanfare?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
Yes? Here ye announcing a player who is with a
cigar and ak my hat?
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Is that toy l trumpet?
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Well, he does need to do something for work right now.
With DZ out.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
The team has taken the ill this year.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
The penalties for gambling on the penalties for gambling on
your team's home game is worse than if you gamble
when they're playing on the road. Really, so if you bet,
if you bet on your team at home, the penalty
is worse you bet on them and they're playing on
the road.
Speaker 5 (27:33):
So there's a spread on that.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
It's what you're saying, is there a spread on games
at home versus the home road? Gambling splits?
Speaker 4 (27:40):
But what if I'm wearing the hat. Jason, are you
in a casino maybe?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Do you have fan fair? Do you have a cigar? Yes?
And a cigar yes? And I think you're okay, okay,
all right, so you're saying, yes.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You have your own Bishop Magic don Juan walking alongside you.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
As if you were Snoop dogg. Yes, bring your green hat?
What's up on?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
That?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Is not not one of the games?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Sucks?
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, last one. Watching sporting events at a sports book
is allowed, just watching, not betting. Watching sporting events like
the NFL at a sports book is allowed as long
as you, instead of watching NFL, watch only horse racing
or Formula one and you sign an affidavit saying those
(28:25):
are the only sports you're watching on the TV. Well,
I mean nothing wrong with a little paramutual wagering.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Go to sport that's often a separate section. So you
if you go around the corner, you only have TVs
on Horzon.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
You're watching football. No, no, no, my eyes are only
on the Hamiltonian over here.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
That is.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
That is the secret though to getting service, like if
say you're going to Vegas for Super Bowl week, yes,
is to be a horse player, because you will get
taken care of because there's money that they're getting, but
they're also getting money from everything you're doing, because they're
getting parts of the bill, nine races, of all the
different simulcasts and everything else. So if you're betting consistently
(29:05):
during a day, they'll take care of you as careful
that are coming out to just for that game. You're
just one of thousands kind of lookie lose.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Yeah, the rest of us.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
Well, but it's consistent betting over a course of a
day versus one time action ty shirt.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Is that is that a rule?
Speaker 3 (29:24):
You know?
Speaker 4 (29:24):
What's funny is everything sounds so lame. I'm gonna say, no,
they won't even let you watch the games. That is
not a rule.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
You'll get nothing. I get a perfect game, perfect game.
I felt like I was playing the A's all right now,
I got one more final one talking to people.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
In your house.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
No no, no, no, no, no, no one one of
the six rules. Don't bet on the Jets that same Yeah,
I mean, that's that's one of the rules.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
I kind of feel like I would though it's one
of the rules.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
The Year of Living dangerously for sure, that is one
of the rules.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Do you expect an email from the League office the
people who employ me don't even know who I am.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Doesn't certainly be sure to catch live editions of The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern,
seven pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio The Jason Smith Show
with My bas friend Mike Harmon, Hobo Dodge and Rockies
underway after a hail delay. Oh yeah, the end of June.
(30:25):
We got a hail delay. Dodgers leave, the Rockies won nothing.
Rockies batting in the bottom of the first inning, first
and third with one out, and it's she and on
the mound. No, no hit a friend tonight Friday. No
worry for Dave Roberts to have to pull somebody out
of the game.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
Yeah, no, it's a little bit of a he's in
parallel already here in the first Dodgers had a big opportunity,
only one across the plane.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
So we're getting set for NBA free agency. Yeah, you're
starting to see where some of the early dominoes, not
where they're going to fall, but where you're going to
see some early interest. What players, what teams are their desires.
And it was reported today by numerous sources that Kyrie
Irving Kyrie is going to meet with who the New
(31:16):
York out there? WHOA I'm not knowing it.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
That would basically just say that's I'm just saying no, no,
no no. But even in joking with that justin was
kind of joke. But even putting that out there, with
the possibility that Kyrie Irving would go there, that means
he had just torpedoed all of the great praise and
that he's lavished upon.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
James Allen Ronson is going to be in Philly, so.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Guard no, no, no, another no, no no, He's going
to meet with the Phoenix Suns all right now, Like
I said with with James Harden, no no, no, no, no,
no no no. You saw what happened in Brooklyn when
you put him and Katie on the same team, right,
You saw that not work. You saw that Kyrie Irving
(32:08):
played when he felt like it. You saw that he
was also a huge distraction and a disruption off the court.
Not a distraction, a disruption off the court. But now
he's so desperate because there's no market for him. Numerous
insiders said, listen, nobody wants Kyrie Irving. There's no market
for him. He is so desperate. Hey, but I want
to keep playing, So I gotta go and talk to
(32:30):
some people who I haven't in with that I've known
for a while. Because my talent no longer exceeds my behavior,
So what can I do. This is why Harden is
linked with the Rockets. Oh hey, but it was so
much fun there, and I want to get paid. You
want a star. That's why I can go back there.
Same thing here with Kyrie. Hey, KD. Remember we almost
worked for it's in Brooklyn, but it could work out here.
(32:51):
We got Booker, we got Bradley Beale, we can trade
DeAndre Heyn. Come on, Beta, come on.
Speaker 4 (32:57):
No.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
This is where the Phoenix Suns and Frank Vogel have
to say, no, dude, no, no, we got it. Not
We're good. We're good. We're gonna try to make a move.
But Kyrie Irving no, because again, just like James Harden,
no one can see themselves as a Kyrie Irving away
from anything He's It's not that, it's not that, it's
not that that situation anymore. In free agency, teams have
(33:19):
to do this. They have to not look at the
back of the baseball card right to go get their guys.
Guys like Draymond and Harden and Kyrie. They've seen their day.
They're not what they were. You're not gonna win with them.
You're not gonna be happy when they demand money and
you pay them. Because you look at the back of
their baseball card. Look at what they've done. Look at it.
You go on Basketball reference dot Com. You look at
(33:40):
what they've done. Look how many all star teams made.
Look at all this, Look at all the It doesn't
work well. These guys all want trades and they're never happy.
They're not the same players they were. They're all over thirty.
You need to go in a different direction. If I'm
the Suns, I'd just like to say, hey, glad you're interested,
We're going someplace else.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I just have to And I'd love to be the
fly on the wall with Kevin Durant, Right, you endorsing this.
Was there really problems in that locker room or was
it completely having nothing to do with any of it.
You just wanted to change a venue. Publicly, I'll say,
Kyrie is a great player, what about privately?
Speaker 1 (34:17):
Do not go near him.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Let's just figure out what burner accounts would tell us
and go from there. Like I always say, I like drama.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I like theater.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I liked stars deciding, Hey, let's get together. But in
thirty games, is he looking for another home again?
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Yeah, of course, because that's what he is. You're not
gonna win if you want to win. These aren't the
guys you surround yourself with. You don't surround yourself with
Harden and Kyrie and Draymon drama. Mainly because he's not
the guy he was a few years ago. But because
of what I've accomplished, I want three years and ninety
million out of Golden State because you owe me. But
that's the thing. He could still be a crucial part
(34:53):
to a roster.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
But if you have to commit thirty million a year
to him under the new rules of the CBA, because
we keep seeing that, right, restructuring or declining this because
you're looking at a whole other tax level that comes in.
We're joking about it yesterday, right, Hey, twenty one million
dollars get out of that, and it saves you one
hundred million dollars tax Like, how does this make any sense?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
Don't look at the back of the baseball card. I
like chaos. Send it to the Knicks coming up next? Hey,
what big time NBA team is going to make a
big move. It as being really smart right now. Fox
